48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng separated the captain, first mate, sailor and others on the Miranda from interrogation to prevent confessions from being made, and then corroborated several responses to each other, thus guaranteeing the reliability of the information collected.

Half an hour later, he got some unexpected news, so he reconvened Billy and Annie and the others, and got the chief carpenter on board.

“You want to go back to Nautilus Island?” Billy was surprised by Zhang Heng's bold thoughts.

“According to the information we have just received from the prisoners, the only naval vessel left on Nautilus Island, the Kent, is at their weakest defense.” Zhang Hengdao, "we may take this opportunity to rescue the island's survivors and... reclaim the gold we left behind. ”

“How can we not support a complete battle with the current situation of the Cold Raven, otherwise we will not have to be so troubled, we will have to rely on the Pearl Island terrain to solve the Miranda, wait until Nautilus Island, there is no terrain that we can take advantage of again, this probability is a hard war that cannot be coincidental, and we have little chance of winning.” Although Billy is also interested in the offer to rescue pirates on the island to recover gold, he thinks it's too risky.

Zhang Heng did not answer the rudder's question, but turned to the chief carpenter Guy on board, "If we have enough material, how long can we fix the boat to a state where we can fight again? ”

The latter was stunned to hear, "If there is no shortage of material and everyone helps together, it can be done in six days, no, five. ”

“But where does the material come from?” Diffrena asked.

Zhang Heng pointed to the Miranda, which was not far from touching the reef, "Remove it and use it as a material. ”

Guy's eyes lit up and he nodded, "That's a good idea, but that would take two more days. ”

“There's no problem in time. Six ships from the navy sent five to hunt us down, we killed one, and now we have four boats left. They agreed to go back to Nautilus Island in two weeks to solve the remaining pirates on the island. Now only one day has passed, and we spent seven days repairing the boat, and enough time left for us to go back to Nautilus Island and fight another war. ”

Billy couldn't help but notice that the navy side couldn't say it was Todd. After all, it was hard to hold on to Nassau with the Cold Raven. No one would think they would dare to kill back half way, so leaving only one boat on Nautilus Island was enough to guard a group of pirates who had lost their boats and supplies.

Zhang Heng's plan was indeed bold at first sight, but it was not impossible to think carefully. Killing Miranda did not make up for the losses they suffered on this voyage, although it gave everyone a bad breath and enough food and fresh water at the same time.

This time, the Nassau pirates were so miserable that not only were the ships lost, but the gold they had previously grabbed from the Spanish treasure boat was cheaper for the Navy. If we could get that gold back and rescue the survivors of the island, it would be a real counterattack.

“I think this battle plan will work, and we can start preparing for the next battle. ”

…………

Soon, the crew on the beach knew Zhang Heng's plan to fight back against Nautilus Island, and the subsequent crew meeting was undoubtedly passed in full vote. It was about the dignity of the Nassau pirates and the fate of 5,000 pounds of gold. The people couldn't rest and immediately invested in repairs.

With so many people available, Guy decided to take advantage of the opportunity to do a full sweep of the hull of the Cold Raven and remove the conch seaweed and other debris adsorbed onto the deck during the voyage, which could also increase the speed of the Cold Raven's voyage by a further half to prepare for the next hard war.

However, Zhang Heng, captain of the ship, disappeared while the heat of the people's work was in the sky.

When Annie found Zhang Heng, the latter was sitting alone behind a reef, watching the distant sunset gradually fall into the sea.

It's about 200 yards away from the crowd sitting in front of the fire, which makes him look like someone else in the world.

Annie sat down next to Zhang Heng and handed over the bottle of wine in her hand. "The patch is going well and will be almost complete tomorrow morning. Guy said the patched Cold Raven will be stronger than before. ”

“Well, we've spent a lot of time on this island, and it's almost time to leave again.” Zhang Heng took the bottle and took a sip, then Annie took it back from Zhang Heng's hand and took a sip of it herself.

“Really? How are you? How are you? ”

“Hmm?”

“Aren't you going to talk about the storm before, when the crew said it was a miracle that we were sheltered by Thetis, the goddess of the ocean, but you and I both knew it wasn't true, and I heard Seth's story with you, when you climbed the mast to engrave that name on the face, what was her name, Betty? ”

“Oh, don't worry, I won't let the Cold Raven walk into the back dust of that Clark ship," Zhang Hengdao, "I just... can't remember the last time I watched the sunset so quietly. ”

Zhang Heng did use the shell at the previous critical juncture, and he himself did not have any bitter experience or so-called anger, so he finally had to use a tricky method to bring himself into the literature. He chose the protagonist Val Jean of Tragic World, the wretched bastard who had been in prison for 19 years to help his poor sister raise seven children to steal bread, because he had a strong anger at his world until he met Bishop Mililey.

This method of stealing chickens eventually came into effect. Zhang Heng not only successfully summoned a storm to help the Cold Raven escape, but also had his first contact with the Celtic ancient god who called himself Betty.

Zhang Heng only learned that the other party had not approached him before, not because the time had not come or had created a sense of mystery, purely because the latter was too weak, after seducing Seth on the boat, there was no power to appear, until Zhang Heng took over the shell, carved her name on the mast again, and at the same time provided a lot of anger before she regained a small part of her strength.

According to herself, her strength is not only worse than it was more than a thousand years ago, even a hundred years ago, when she was on that Clark ship, she was much stronger than it is now, which is why Zhang Heng can't really control the storm like the captain of that Clark ship, speed up navigation, even use it to attack the enemy. Zhang Heng can do all he can now to keep the storm from hurting the Cold Crow as much as possible.
