48 Hours a Day

The waiting process is always long and tedious.

Apart from the watchman in charge of vigilance, the rest of the ship had nothing to do during that period, with people taking a nap on the hammock, people gathering to brag, and others examining the weapons and prayers at their disposal.

Although Harry had been a little king in the streets before, leading a group of kids and kids from the next street to kill in darkness, it was the first time he faced the battle of the Zheng Dynasty. Annie would have thought he would be scared to death with the greed and fear of death and the soft and hard personality. But when she found the latter, he was a little nervous, but more excited.

Harry was haunting the Quartermaster right now, begging him to defend himself with his weapon.

“Mr. Devereaux, I can fight too. Didn't Captain Zhang always say that when the battle sounded, there was no way for everyone to go back? ”

“What kind of weapon do you want? ”

“Musket bar, close combat My size is a bit of a loser, but there's no problem shooting from afar.” Harry is confident.

“Have you practiced shooting before? ”

“No, but it's a good saying that everyone has their first shot. Captain Zhang Heng's first shot wasn't bad either. ”

“In fact, when I first met Captain Zhang Heng, he was incredibly good at shooting.” The Quartermaster went on, "The gun is impossible, and I don't want to be shot in the back by one of my own people while I'm at it. ”

“Don't be so mean, I won't shoot you. ”

“I doubt that. ”

Harry wanted to say something else, but then he saw a red-haired girl coming from not far away, like a natural enemy, and his face changed and he immediately wanted to pull his legs out and slip away.

But Annie stopped me just two steps away, and the latter took me seriously, “Mr. Devereaux, isn't Harry messing you up again? ”

“No, quite the contrary, Mr. Harry helped me a lot in the morning by joining me in counting our weapons stockpiles on board.” The Quartermaster's answer made Harrington cry again.

“Well.” Annie whispered.

Harry is speechless, what the hell is your undisguised regrettable tone because you can't find a reason to beat me up?!

Of course, he only dared to spit in his heart, and then he heard Annie say, "Come with me. ”

Harry followed the red-haired girl and walked all the way to the kitchen, a place he was not unfamiliar with, because recently he had been cutting potatoes here, and Annie said, "When the battle sounds, you stay here with Mr. Ramsey, when the battle ends, and when you come out. ”

“Ha.”

“Huh?” The red-haired girl picked out her eyebrows.

Harry quickly explained, "I didn't mean to complain in advance, it's just that I've been brushing the toilet for so long since I got aboard, and I almost cut off my fingers by cutting potatoes, and I thought maybe I could take a little more responsibility. ”

“You seem to have a point.” Annie threw the dagger in Harry's waist, "and when the battle began, stay here and protect yourself and Mr. Ramsey. ”

“But what's the difference?” Harry opened his eyes.

“What difference do you want?” The red-haired girl asked back.

“For example... let me stay on deck?” Harry begs, "this is a battle I went out to fight, please, Boss Annie, why else would I go back and say," I was in the cabin like a coward when the war started? "”

After that, I think I felt something wrong again, and Harry turned to apologize to the chef, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ramsey, I'm not targeting you. ”

The latter behaved generously, waving, “It's okay, you're not the first, you're not the last. ”

“The real battle isn't as simple as fighting on the streets with a bunch of kids. You want to join the fight, that's fine, but wait two years.” Annie doesn't move.

…………

On the other side, Zhang Heng plays with the shell in the captain's room.

He's been carrying this thing for three weeks, and there's been no anomaly during that time. At first, he thought it was because of land, but now he's at sea, and the Celtic god who calls himself Betty never came to him.

In addition, Zhang Heng asked Annie to have her hands on Seth, who, as the first person on the boat to come into contact with this thing, was unsure whether the Celtic ancient god named Betty would still affect him.

However, after so many days, Seth also seemed quiet and did not make any more questionable moves, as if he were truly out of the matter and back into his previous state of life.

Zhang Heng was not in a hurry. At present, besides giving admirers the power to manipulate the storm, Zhang Heng did not know what other means were available to the other party, so it was not too late to wait until the wooden box of the tule tree arrived.

So the first day passed in peace.

By the next morning everything was as usual, the weather was clear and the sea was calm. The Spanish treasure boat had still not appeared, until the afternoon, when the crowd was about to sink, the watchman finally found something.

Zhang Heng also raised the copper telescope in his hand. At first, there were only three black dots in the distance, and he could not see what it was, but over time, Zhang Heng had been able to see the Spanish flag flying on the mast.

The observation points on Nautilus Island also used mirrors to send messages to two pirate ships outside.

“Here comes the target, get ready.” Zhang Heng put the binoculars away.

Billy commanded the sailors to return to their posts, while the Cold Raven raised its black flag, but at the next moment Zhang Heng and several old sailors on board raised their heads together.

The breeze, which was originally southeastern, gradually changed to southwest, and Billy frowned, which meant that it would take more time when they approached the treasure boat, in other words, they might be hit by longer artillery fire.

But now the distance between the two sides is very close. At this time, there is no way to make any further adjustments. Zhang Heng stood at the bow, holding the cable in one hand and holding the military knife in the other. He gave the order to fight, “Adjust the wind sail and rush over at the fastest possible speed! ”

Because of the pre-rehearsal of what might have happened, everyone on the Cold Raven knew that this battle was only a bait to attract the opposite pursuit, so the key to success or failure was not how many casualties it had inflicted on each other, but how much fire it could not withstand, so with the exception of the man at the helm, the carpenter on board was the most stressed.

They have prepared timber and tools in advance and are on standby to repair the loopholes on board.
