On the endless blue sea, the Imperial Family Scarborough is patrolling its territory like a lion.

This Level 2 battleship belonging to the British Navy has a displacement of 2000 tons, 90 cannons and nearly 700 sailors. It is Hegermon-like terrifying existence in the Caribbean.

Every once in a while, the Scarborough regularly cruises out of Hong Kong. According to the orders of the Admiralty, it maintains the order of several nearby commercial roads on the sea. The pirates fled everywhere.

In fact, just hearing the name Scarborough is enough to frighten the most powerful pirate.

Therefore, the Scarborough really encounters very few battles each time it leaves the port, unless you count the unilaterally beating from the opposite side.

Captain Elmer is now sitting on the deck while tasting red wine while listening to the musician playing the violin.

As a result, he had just been immersed in the music and was interrupted shortly. The watchman above his head suddenly shouted, “Southwest, I found an armed merchant ship!”

Elmer frowned, his face unpleasant.

The first officer hearing this quickly walked to the side of the ship, took over the copper Telescope and looked at it for a while, “The French flag is hanging on the mast, the draft is very deep, the speed is only about 3 knots, and a lot of cargo should be pulled.”

Captain Elmer finally put down the red wine in his hand and walked slowly.

Nowadays, Europe is in the period of the Spanish throne war. In order to prevent the Bourbon dynasty from annexing Spain, the new major alliances including the United Kingdom are united against France and its allies. The two sides are in a state of war.

At this time, the French armed merchant ship was hit by the Scarborough and could only blame its bad luck.

Elmer glanced at the sailors on the deck and saw that everyone’s eyes were full of longing, slightly smiled, opened the mouth and said, “If this is a gift from God, why should we reject it?” “

The sailors hearing this suddenly cheered. When the Admiralty pays, the big guys are already starved to death. The extra spoils of war like this is the only motivation to support them to go to sea. Even if the big heads eventually fall into the pockets of Elmer and Marshal, but everyone I have been accustomed to this kind of thing, and I am satisfied with a little soup.

With the captain’s words, the Scarborough immediately began to adjust the course and headed towards the armed merchant ship of “bad luck”. At the same time, the muzzle was opened to reveal the densely packed black barrel inside, just like A shark showed his sharp teeth.

Although the battle is about to start, the atmosphere on the deck is generally very relaxed, and the violinist in charge is still performing due diligence.

There is a huge disparity in firepower between the two sides. There is no suspense in this battle. If you meet each other, you should surrender quickly, and let the goods be surrendered. If Elmer is in a good mood, he may spare the people on board.

The sailors of the Scarborough were immersed in the joy of getting the Waikuai. Only one officer on board was a little worried. He said to Elmer, “Sir, will it be a little too simple, our route is not What’s the secret, why at this time and the French merchant ship dare to appear? “

As a result, he was interrupted by his colleagues before he even said, “No crafty plots and machinations can take effect in the face of absolute power. Relax, Burnet, we are on the Scarborough, here Sea Territory, we have no natural enemies. “

…………

Unlike the joyous atmosphere on the Scarborough, the pirates on the Sea Lion are generally very silent, because they will face the biggest battle in life.

It has been half a month since they left Nassau. Through Gu Duwen ’s betrayal, Orff ’s prestige on the ship has increased by a large amount. Now even if there are people who are dissatisfied with him, they dare not show it. .

However, in this state, when Orff said that to get the 5th Treasure Concealing Map, he needed to snatch the Imperial Family Scarborough, even if the most enthusiastic pirate hunter could not continue to stand on him. Support him here.

Because it has nothing to do with courage, it is completely crazy.

All pirates operating in the Caribbean know that the Scarborough ca n’t be touched. Although there is no clear ban, piracy activities generally choose to avoid the navy. The attack on the navy ’s supply ship was already a very risky move, and The Sea Lion also paid a tragic price for this.

For Kidd Treasure, everyone reluctantly accepted the action at that time, and the firepower of the supply ship was almost the same as that of the Sea Lion. As long as the command was properly commanded, the heroic battle could be won, but the Scarborough … that was completely another Something happened.

The oldest gunner on the ship opened the mouth and said first, “The number of artillery equipment on the Scarborough is three times that of us, and its formable power is larger than ours, and its range is farther than us. This battle is simply impossible to fight. . Not to mention that our hull is not as strong as a warship. As long as a round of volley, we will completely fall apart, Mr. Orff, I have always trusted your leadership ability, but I must object to this time, because this behavior is simply death. “

His words were also supported by the vast majority of pirates.

Orff had to raise his voice. “Gentlemen, I agree with your view. We are indeed at a disadvantage in terms of firepower. We are fighting head-on. We certainly have no chance, so our only hope is to take over. “

“Connect to the port? I know we have recruited a lot of good players at this time, but even if we count the technical staff like cooks and boat doctors, we only have 173 people when we are full. How do we fight 700 people? And the most important thing is Eis. The firepower of the Cabaret, we are afraid that we will be sunk before we get up. “Sailor Commander Owen also questioned.

“Yes, you are right. This is normally the case.” Orff paused. “Unless we don’t have to approach the Scarborough, but let it approach us.”.

“How can this be?!”

“It is of course impossible to raise the black sails. Once the Scarborough finds that we are pirates, there is only the option of firing, but if we can convince them that we are only a merchant ship, the situation is different. , No one can get along with a boat of porcelain, right? “

Orff swept away the things on the table and spread the charts. “I got the news on the island. A Dutch merchant ship pulled a boat of porcelain to sell in New York. We stopped it halfway and took the porcelain Move onto the ship, then fly the French flag and wait for it on the route of the Scarborough. “
