Chapter 180 The Raven of Hell
"What exactly do these pirates want to do?"
Just as Rogers and Chamberlain were puzzled by the pirates' actions, at this moment, Honeygold, located on one of the third-class battleships "Nottingham", saw the trick.
How could he not see that Honeygold, who was once the founder of the Pirate Republic and served as the pirate leader? This is exactly the wolves tactic used by pirates to hunt large merchant fleets?!
Generally speaking, the pirates first send reconnaissance ships to follow the fleet, then summon enough ships to drive them away, thereby locking in the weakest target and finally surround them!
In other words, what is coming is more pirate ships...
However, before he could remind Rogers and Chamberlain, a sudden change occurred!
Several brig sailboats that had just disappeared appeared again on the vast sea.
Not only that, they also brought back several small fleets of organized units!
Each pirate fleet consists of five or six brigs with excellent flexibility.
In front of one of the largest fleets is Edward Kenway's Jackdaw!
Standing at the stern of the boat, holding his hands in his chest, the black pirate cloak swayed with the wind, and Edward's eyes were flashing with a thrill of eagerness.
As Blackbeard's deputy and the military's first general, Edward has made his name in the Caribbean.
Especially his personal combat ability has been highly praised by the pirates, and he has given him a very second-middle nickname - Hell Crow!
As the name suggests, Edward sent all his enemies into hell like a ruthless jackdaw!
When he first heard this nickname, Luo Xia almost laughed out loud.
For a while later, every time Roxar saw Edward, he would tease him and call him "Hell Crow"
Although I was a little embarrassed at the beginning, Edward was very satisfied with the nickname.
The nickname is a certain medal of honor for pirates.
Compared with nicknames such as Blackbeard, Vulture, and Lame Billy, Hell Crow is so powerful!
This time, it was Edward Kenway, the "Hell Crow" who was the commander to harass the British fleet.
With the development of the Pirate Republic, Edward also became rich.
Now, his desire for money has been much weaker than when he first went to sea.
Instead, it is a strong desire for honor and reputation.
He hopes to be honored, to become famous, and even hopes that his reputation will spread throughout the sea.
It would be best heard from his wife who was far away in Bristol and her two parents who looked down on her!
In that case, one day he could go back and say to his wife and her snobbish parents:
You used to ignore me, but now you can't stand me!
Moreover, for Edward, the Pirate Republic was his safe haven and his second hometown.
Here are his companions and friends, his reputation and his status.
In order to protect everything he cherishes, he is willing to do anything!
Edward looked at the huge British fleet in front of him like a hawk. There was no trace of fear in his eyes, but only a strong sense of fighting!
Look, Caroline!
I will prove to you that I, Edward Kenway, is definitely not the kind of ordinary person.
The sea is my stage!
Thinking of this in his heart, he suddenly raised his right hand and ordered to the black military officer beside him:
"Ad, send flags to other captains and start the action!"
"Yes, Captain!"
...
Meanwhile, on the Bristol.
Seeing the pirate ships appearing on all sides of the sea and vaguely surrounding the entire British fleet, Rogers asked again about this doubt in his heart:
"What the hell do they want to do?!"
Soon, he got the answer.
Because, the pirates responded with loud roar of artillery fire!
Boom boom boom boom!
Accompanied by the sound of cannons, the pirate fleets around the fleet began to attack the nearby British warships as if they had already agreed!
Listening to the deafening sound of artillery fire in his ears, Rogers' heart began to shake.
What he never expected was that even though the news of the pardon order had spread throughout every sea in the entire New World, the pirates made a decision without thinking.
Yes, the pirates had already rejected the British King's pardon from the moment they fired shells on them.
Not only that, they seem to plan to go to war with Britain?!
How dare they?!
This absurd and puzzled thought just came to Rogers' mind, when Brigadier General Chamberlain shouted out in extreme anger:
"How dare these bed bugs?!"
"They are seeking death!"
It was not until this moment that Rogers finally came to his senses and understood what he had done wrong.
He underestimated Rorschach's influence on the Pirate Republic!
It also underestimates the pirates' sense of belonging to the Pirate Republic!!
It even underestimates the pirates' emphasis on freedom!!!
Just when Rogers was confused, Brigadier General Chamberlain, who had rich combat experience, was very excited.
He was originally sent by Congress to restrict Rogers, and he was carrying a secret order from the king.
That is, once the recruitment situation is not optimistic, or if the pirates do something, he will immediately command the fleet and wipe out all the pirates!
Now the pirates took the initiative to attack, which was exactly what he wanted.
Chamberlain also made his own small abacus.
Originally, if the pirates obediently accepted the pardon, the credit would be Rogers.
Rogers ate the meat, and he could only drink a sip of the soup.
However, the pirates now refuse pardon and choose to attack the British fleet is another way of dealing with it.
As long as he personally wiped out these pirates and recovered Nassau, most of the credit will be his.
This credit was enough to make him rise a few levels, and even replace Rogers and become the governor of the Bahamas!
When he thought of becoming an official, Brigadier General Chamberlain's vicissitudes of eyes flashed with a hint of greed:
"Governor Rogers, it seems that these pirates do not intend to accept His Majesty's gift. Since that's the case, let them see the terribleness of the Royal Fleet!"
After saying that, he ignored Rogers, reached out to greet the adjutant, ordered the fleet to fight back!
Receiving the flag words conveyed by the flagship, the frigates on the outermost side of the fleet opened the artillery decks and pointed the dark muzzles at the petite sailboats.
The navy on the frigate could not wait to slap these annoying flies to death in front of them.
The commanders on the warship drew out the long swords at their waists and roared in the war:
Chapter completed!
