In fact, strictly speaking, the characters in the plot are not idiots. Many of them, including Norrington, are sure to have heard of Fang Senyan, the "pirate captain". There are two reasons for allowing it to operate in Port Royal and turning a blind eye:
Firstly, I felt that this "sailor" had indeed contributed to the entire Port Royal. Secondly, because of the general environment at that time, the Queen had to accept donations from pirates, armed merchant ships and participated in pirate plunder on the sea. It often happens that those who only do business in vain are really rare. Since legal armed merchant ships can be pirates, why can't pirates turn back to evil and return to being good and guest ship on armed merchant ships?
In addition, Sheyan also found an alchemist in Port Royal. Unfortunately, the service provided by this alchemist was not as attentive as before in Port Tutuga. The main reason was not because he returned to Port Royal. The level of alchemists is limited, but it is because black magic has developed very powerfully in the past ten years, so that some ordinary alchemy enchantment materials ten years ago have become extremely precious, and those originally very precious alchemy enchantment materials The industry has become extinct.
So in the end, the three of them could only choose services such as "adding 1-1 damage to weapons" and "increasing the ability to absorb 1% damage to armors". In this way, the price was also prohibitive to Fang Senyan. The wallet has shrunk again.
Of course, in addition to this, Sheyan's investigation of Mr. Chauvin is still ongoing. Under the fierce offensive of large amounts of gold pounds, a large number of clues can always be found, even if these clues contain a lot of moisture and false information. , but there will always be some surprising discoveries.
In the end, Sheyan also bought a sacred object from a businessman from Italy: it was said to be the holy water blessed by the Pope himself. Of course, the Italian businessman also got a batch of it from Governor Swann. This is a win-win situation.
The full moon night has arrived again.
It was already around ten o'clock in the evening, and the entire Port Royal was immersed in darkness and silence. Everything looked no different from the rest of the time.
However, suddenly a mist quietly descended on the harbor, blocking the watery moonlight.
The wind gradually became stronger. This wind seemed to be able to ignore the obstruction of the buildings. With a kind of wantonness, it very simply wiped out the lights that were still burning in the few windows.
A thin black cat, with its rugged ribs exposed, walked slowly on the empty street with its tail wagging. Its meowing echoed like a prelude to summoning spirits.
Mr. Wiltner, who was still working overtime, seemed to sense something and stopped tapping the iron felt with force. He opened the window and looked around, but found nothing.
At the same time, the candle beside Miss Elizabeth Swann's bed, which hung the Aztec gold coin in her cleavage, also flickered a few times and then went out. Miss Swann was confused. He looked out the window and then went to bed.
"Here we come." Fang Sheyan and his three men led a group of men who were good at fighting and had already ambushed them back on the hillside outside Port Royal.
They saw with their own eyes that under the cover of the thickening fog, a huge and elegant black warship glided quietly from a distance. It felt as if it was the master of the wind and sea water, even rippling. The ripples are also tame and submissive.
What's even more frightening is that at first glance, the ship's sailing speed seemed leisurely and slow, but in fact it passed them not far away for an instant and was already several hundred meters away!
Such speed!!
It's so terrifying that you can't feel "fast"!
It was okay that he had not come into close contact before. When he thought of actually having to fight with this ship on the sea, even Sheyan immediately felt tremendous pressure. Even when his eyes came into contact with its black sails, , that cold and strong feeling will be transmitted to the whole body.
just witness
...The Black Pearl puts so much pressure on people!
Sheyan was silent for a while, then he took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Let's go as planned."
As if to footnote Fang Sheyan's words, in the distant Port Royal, the roar of cannons suddenly sounded! Then, in the quiet and peaceful Port Royal, bursts of dazzling fire began to billow! What a feeling. It looks like brilliant fireworks, but in fact it is a derivative of madness and destruction!
Although the sailors under Norrington were suddenly raided and initially fell into panic, it happened that that night, Mr. Norrington was discussing Elizabeth's marriage with Governor Swann, and the former had already solemnly asked this man. The beautiful little sister proposed.
Therefore, the commander bravely organized a counterattack as soon as possible, and used a stern tone to drive Governor Swann off the city wall. Although the newly built fort was not completed, more than ten seven-pound cannons had been fired. After being placed aboard, the sailors quickly began to fight back against the Black Pearl anchored in the port. Amidst the rumbling heavy artillery bombardment, the two sides launched an extremely fierce artillery battle.
At this time, professionals are needed to come on the scene. Fang Senyan knows that tonight is a great opportunity to obtain first-hand information about the Black Pearl, so he specially mobilized professionals like Red Beard from the ship. .Red Beard looked at both sides in the artillery battle and quickly made his own judgment:
"The range of the cannon equipped by Black Pearl is not far, but the frequency of firing shells is obviously much faster. It should be because the gunners are very strong. In comparison, the British gunners seem too rusty, regardless of The accuracy and rate of fire are incomparable."
"Of course." Sheyan took a deep breath and said:
"Because the crew of the Black Pearl is now immortal, even a pig, after firing so many shells over the years and accumulating so much experience, practice makes perfect. And Norrington's sailors are gathering with Silver There were heavy casualties in the bloody battle back to the regiment. Although training can solve some of the problems, novices are still novices after all. It is indeed difficult to grow up without going through the fumigation of gunpowder and the test of death."
Soon, the navy's firepower was suppressed as Fang Sheyan expected. A semi-completed fort was beaten to the point of collapse, and several sailors on the gun emplacements were hit head-on by several shells. After the attack, there were heavy casualties, and the fighting spirit that was originally low disappeared completely, and no one dared to take the lead again.
Of course, the Black Pearl was also hit by several shots during this period, but its defense did not seem to be low. More importantly, according to observations, the sailors on the ship repaired the hull extremely quickly. The holes are being repaired at an almost astonishing speed. It seems that the entire Black Pearl is like a monster with a life of its own, with extremely powerful self-healing capabilities.
In this era, once the casualty rate of returning troops reaches more than 30%, it is easy for morale to collapse. As the last artillery position was surrounded by fireworks amid strong explosions, four or five sailors were killed. Powerful shock waves and flames flew out. Port Royal finally lost the ability to resist and parted her legs obediently like a beautiful girl who had her skirt taken off...
At this time, more than a dozen lifeboats fell down from the Black Pearl. They were full of rough pirates who screamed "Hehe!" and rushed toward them with axes, torches and knives in their hands. In the rich Port Royal, the thick fog was stirred by them. The pirates were like devils rushing out of the fog and began to trample and ravage this rich land crazily.
Houses were set on fire, panicked people were screaming, and all that was left was endless chaos and flames rising into the sky. Under this situation, Norrington's sailors continued to organize themselves, and began to reluctantly resist. , however, after all, the Black Pearl can also provide long-range artillery support to the pirates, so the sailors can only defend the barracks from being captured, unable to counterattack.
Fortunately, for pirates, the barracks are almost unattractive. What they like is gold, silk and other valuable things. The artillery on the Black Pearl is aimed at the rest of Port Royal. He kept shooting randomly, just avoiding the areas where the pirates were plundering, with the intention of continuing to frighten and suppress any possible resistance.
Seeing that the looting and chaos had spread rapidly, and the rumbling sound of cannons could cover up most of the movements, Fang Senyan took his men who were good at close combat and aimed at the targets in Port Royal. The prison rushed in --- of course they did not forget to cover their faces to avoid being hit by acquaintances, and the hard-won reputation in Port Royal was in vain.
The gate of the originally heavily guarded Port Royal Prison was deserted. No sailor would be dedicated enough to manage the scum, cheaters, robbers, thieves, pirates, and of course the protagonist, Mr. Jack Sparrow, inside. obligations.
The iron gate of the prison was open, and a lone lock was pried open, dangling on the lock in a semi-disabled manner. Two sailors who seemed to have no time to escape fell to the ground with their hands spread out. The Mauser gun at hand showed signs of being fired, flies were flying around them, and finally settled on their wide-open eyeballs, and two lines of widely spaced bloody footprints stepped back from their side, pointing directly towards them. Inside the prison.
The bearded Davis walked over at this time, dipped a little of the sticky blood, twisted it between his fingers and said:
"It probably took less than fifteen minutes for these two British guys to die. It's strange, why did the pirates on the Black Pearl come to the prison? I didn't hear that any of them were captured and imprisoned in Port Royal."
