48 Hours a Day

There are seventeen names on the list, all of which, with the exception of Zhang Heng, have complained to the old crippled pirates about the captain or the helmsman, mainly the elderly on board, many of whom have sailed with Fraser.

There was disagreement over their punishment of the pirates. Some militants argued for the slaughter of the traitors, but more people thought exile was more appropriate. During the quarrel, Billy kept insisting that the paper had been wrapped up. At this time, the war was approaching and there was no time to investigate the truth. Finally, Olf came forward and decided to temporarily imprison 17 people in the cells at the bottom, pending the end of tomorrow's battle.

When Owen recited Zhang Heng's name, the farmer's son quietly moved his ass, pulled the distance between him and the former, and Zhang Heng was not angry. If Marvin did not do so, it would not be Marvin.

Seventeen people were taken to the bottom of the cabin, and as the iron door closed, the matter was finally closed.

Queen Anne's Revenge is docked 20 nautical miles from Charleston for the night.

The following afternoon, all the pirates on board changed to naval uniforms, and Elmer, the former captain of the Scarborough, was finally taken out of the shack.

Half a month later, his whole person was so tired that he couldn't help but squeeze his eyes when he saw the long defiant sun outside.

Olf walked up to him and asked, "Do you remember everything I taught you before? ”

Mr. Lord nodded busily, "I am Elmer Anderson, captain of the Scarborough, and our ship was hit by a storm while cruising, so I went back to port less than a month ago to fix it. I was told that the daughter of Count Belomont, Governor of New York, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, was married, so I took someone into the city to congratulate her. ”

After a pause, he added, "Actually, it's not that much trouble. The New World doesn't recognize the Royal Navy Scarborough. No one will dare to question us, and Count Belomont and I have known each other for a long time. ”

“I know you're old acquaintances. Don't worry, you'll be together soon.” Olf means a long way.

Elmer thought that Olf meant that both he and Belomont would be arrested. He was embarrassed. After all, what he was doing was strictly unjust. It was a pit in Belomont, but no friendship mattered. Besides, Olf promised that if he cooperated properly, he would find time to let him go.

“Take him down for a bath and get dressed, the captain of the Don Scarborough can't be so dirty.” Orf on one side of the pirate road.

Then the old helmsman pushed open the door to the captain's room and said to the man behind the wooden table, "It's time. ”

When the latter stood up, his appearance changed considerably compared to before: he wore a black triangle cap, a red long jacket, a belt at the waist, and most importantly, the iconic black beard had been shaved clean, and he was now like a changed individual, from a pirate leader who feared countless people to a British martial arts naval officer.

Olf was stunned and emotional, “For years, I thought I'd never see you in this dress again. ”

“Some things are better forgotten.” Edward Titch faintly said, as he spoke he picked up the knife and gun beside him.

“I still don't know if what we're doing is right or wrong, and if he's still alive, I don't want to see you as you are today. ”

“If you're planning on nostalgic, it's best to hurry, because today I'm going to clean up all my old accounts. ”

…………

Fifty men were soon assembled on the deck, and Owen saw Titch walking out of the captain's room staying there, and then nodded at the latter, “People have been chosen, good hands on the boat. ”

Titch looked up at the sunset and said to Elmer, “Let's go. ”

Olf stood at the bow of the boat and watched a team of fifty men climb onto the pier, as Elmer said, and they entered the city without any scrutiny in disguise of the Navy of the Scarborough.

It wasn't until their figure disappeared that Olf left the deck. The old helmsman knew the war had begun, and he was going to play his part.

Olf sat alone in the captain's room, looking at the clock in front of him.

With half an hour to go, he relived what happened today in his mind, as usual, confirming that there were no omissions, but somehow there was always a sense of unease in his mind.

The next moment, Charleston City suddenly lit a fire, and something burned in the dark.

Olf was stunned to see the scene.

Has the city been activated? But why was it half an hour early, and in the wrong order? It was supposed to be Queen Anne's Revenge. The first shelling, chaos and panic started there, because of the accident in the middle that forced them to do it earlier?

The fire was also seen by the pirates on deck, and someone rushed to the captain's office in panic and asked the helmsman, "Mr. Olf, what are we going to do now, shoot backup? ”

Olf was also a little out of control, and if the light had nothing to do with them, firing ahead of time might have trapped 50 people on shore who were not ready for passive action, so he thought just, "Put the gunner in position, wait for my order. ”

It was at this point that a group of eye-catching pirates saw a navy run out of the city, and they ran all the way to the boat by the dock and couldn't wait to jump on it, and then they plotted their lives at Queen Anne's Revenge.

“It's our people. ”

When you see the flag from the bow, you don't have to tell the Orpheus to drop the soft ladder immediately.

Returning was the crew led by Captain Owen, but there were only twelve left, and almost all of them were covered in blood. Owen's tummy was covered in gauze, and he was taken aboard, and the first thing he saw was, "We failed! Elmer notified the city's guards in a way we did not know, and we were ambushed and had to split up to escape. ”

“Where's the captain?” Olf's got a tight heart.

“Captain… first realized it was wrong, he shot Elmer, but then he was hit by at least six bullets, sorry we couldn't get his body back.” Owen darkened, and the eleven pirates behind him remembered that scene with a painful bow.

“Mr. Olaf, now that the captain is gone, it is up to you, and we cannot wait any longer, the city's garrison already knows that the Scarborough has fallen into our hands, and soon the turret on the wall will fire on us, and the capture of Belomont has failed, and we have no reason to engage with the garrison, so order us to retreat. ”
