Assassin’s Adventure

Chapter 30: la guaira

The pirates of Barbossa who sank into the sea did not die so easily, and Gordon's so-called letting Barbossa exchange treasures was just to appease him. From the very beginning, his ultimate goal was to sink them all into the sea. to leave safely.

Of course, with the sinking of the Pearl, as well as the bodies of the deck sailors who died in battle, they all sank into the Caribbean Sea.

The sailors on the deck laughed and laughed hysterically. They won this war. They not only sank all the pirates into the sea, but also stole the Black Pearl.

But they laughed and laughed. The sacrifice in this war was too great. The original twenty-eight sailors, plus Coolidge and Gordon, a total of thirty people, were left after this battle. Twelve people, eighteen sailors were killed in battle, and many of these sailors were young men who had just entered the sea and experienced their first voyage or their second voyage.

Only Gordon didn't cry. It wasn't because of his heart. He had already seen a lot. There were at least 80 people who died under him. Those who were used to life and death would put away these feelings, keep them in their hearts, and turn them into hatred.

Repaying resentment with virtue, how to repay virtue?

A blood debt can only be repaid with blood. Gordon hates not only pirates, but this society, the darkest society before the arrival of civilization.

The colonial road of the European powers, the plundering of black slaves, the mercenaries formed by the Middle East India Company in the colonial war, and the private plundering license of the British royal method have all made this sea full of blood and slaughter. For the sake of profit, there is no humanity.

Privateering licenses put on a protective coat for pirates. For the benefit of the British royal family, civilian merchant ships or pirates can plunder the fleets of other countries in the name of the official, and other countries have followed suit. Almost all privateers They are of the same nature as pirates, but they are officially protected, and after being captured by an enemy country, they will not be tried as pirates, but enjoy prisoner treatment.

This is the darkest period of Western capitalist accumulation, and this war is not ending, but intensifying.

The Black Pearl lowered the pirate flag, and then entered the Port of La Guaira with the white flag, otherwise the fortress guns on the shore would have already started bombarding.

The battle in the waters outside the port has been noticed by the Royal Navy for a long time, but there is no sign of dissipating the sea fog. The soldiers of the warship are resting, and the assembly is very slow. When the warship has not yet lifted anchor, the battle is over. The Black Pearl was already heading towards the port.

A large number of guards surrounded the port, and the moment the Black Pearl was signaled to dock, a large number of soldiers got on the boards and rushed up.

But there was no pirate in the imagination. All he saw was a sailor with blood on his face, sadness or joy, his sword was thrown on the ground, and the leader was dressed in a gray robe and looked a little fair, while a short and fat man was next to him.

No matter how you look at it, they are some distressed merchant mariners.

The leader of the port side was a young man with the rank of colonel who walked towards Gordon.

"You don't look like pirates, what happened?"

Gordon told the whole story of what happened, including the encounter, the battle, and finally sinking Barbossa's group to the bottom of the sea.

"This is the legendary Black Pearl? And you are defeating a group of undead pirates and sinking it to the bottom of the sea?"

The colonel listened to their encounter like a bizarre fairy tale, but looking at them with blood on their faces, he couldn't find any reason to deceive him.

"Colonel, the pirates who were cursed by the Aztecs, stayed silent fifteen nautical miles from the port. They didn't die. They will definitely board the port to **** the ship. I hope you get ready early."

Gordon said solemnly that he had to remind the person in front of him to avoid more serious consequences.

Now that there is no problem with the inspection of the boat, and Coolidge has also produced the ID card of the Toronto Chamber of Commerce, the guards have also withdrawn.

The adjutant on the side whispered close to the colonel's ear: "Admiral, this group of merchants may have encountered a huge disaster at sea, or they have been insane because of the pirates encountered in the fog, and they made up such a bizarre story."

This is the common reaction of almost all soldiers after hearing this story.

But the colonel looked up at the Black Pearl, which was still sailing with tattered sails, and shook his head.

Because he knows the Aztec gold coins, if such legendary gold coins really exist, it is indeed possible for such pirates to appear.

The colonel replied to Gordon: "I will arrange the port defense. You can call me Admiral Burton. I am very interested in your story. Please come to my mansion for dinner a little later. ."

Gordon looked back at the tired sailor, then nodded. Fifteen nautical miles is equivalent to 32 kilometers. Barbosa and his group walked 32 kilometers in the sea. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

After this war, although the Pearl sank, the Black Pearl in exchange contained wealth plundered from various merchant ships. This time Gordon was very generous and distributed twenty silver coins to each sailor to compensate. , let them celebrate surviving the disaster.

Every sailor will be recruited with 20 silver coins when they board the ship, which are usually reserved for the family. After death, the captain does not have to be responsible for the blood gold. Some subsidies, after all, they survived because of their **** battles.

Gordon was in charge of handing out coins to every sailor, down to the sailor squatting alone in the corner.

Gordon could clearly see the scene at that time, but he did not blame the sailor. No one would have thought that such a thing would be encountered on the first voyage. Cowardice and helplessness made him think of himself for the first time. I also thought of Duncan who saved him.

He crouched down beside the sailor and looked at the latter. The sailor was a little flustered, and wanted to hide as far as possible, knowing that his behavior was completely a crime of rebellion and treated as a pirate.

Gordon was his captain, and as long as the guards mentioned it, and with the testimony of all the crew members, his only path was to be sent to the gallows.

All the sailors stared at Gordon, a little silent, wondering how he would choose.

"What's your name? I remember you got on the boat from Cayenne."

The sailor who was questioned did not speak, and continued to bow his head.

"Listen, I don't blame you, everyone is angry, when I went to sea for the first time, I didn't behave as well as you, I jumped into the sea and fled when I was about to fail, but you fought to the end, no One could call you a coward."
