Chapter 218 A Real Person...

It wasn't until the sound of gunshots that everyone remembered the shocking incident that happened in Nassau not long ago.

On the night of the conflict with Wilton, Zhang Heng led a night attack on the latter, killing more than 200 people on two ships without sparing anyone.

According to people who were on board the ship afterwards, the sailor's cabin was full of blood, like a slaughterhouse.

However, Zhang Heng had been keeping such a low profile during this joint hunt that many people had forgotten that he was not just a reasonable person.

Zhang Heng has no interest in playing a werewolf killing game with Jarvis to choose who is the werewolf. After he notified Black Prince Sam and others, he has fulfilled his obligations. As for whether they want to believe his words, it is not up to him. within the control range.

Jarvis also read Zhang Heng's determination from this shot, so he cursed loudly and asked the crew of the Warrior to get out of the way quickly and give the boat to Annie.

He accepted the pardon because he had accumulated enough wealth as a pirate for so many years, but no matter how rich he was, he could not return to civilized society. He was a wanted criminal in all the colonies and needed to hide around, even if he could sneak back. His hometown is always on guard, and now he finally has an opportunity to kill these famous pirates on the island, so that he can return home in glory, but the prerequisite is that he must survive first.

Jarvis never doubted Zhang Heng's determination.

Because Zhang Heng's short musket never left his head during this process, Zhang Heng remained unmoved despite the persuasion of Black Prince Sam and others.

And his firm performance finally aroused vigilance in the hearts of others. Black Prince Sam planned to arrange for people to set up observation points in the forest to monitor the movements of ships outside the island. At the same time, Brooke's face became a little uncertain. Because of the previous encounter, he was the person who distrusted Jarvis the least, and he was also the person who was most willing to believe what Zhang Heng said now.

It's just that if he chooses to leave now, the gold that's close at hand on the seabed will have nothing to do with him. The Swordfish paid such a high price and got nothing in the end, which is a bit difficult for him to accept, and more importantly, His hull had been badly damaged in previous battles, especially the broken mast, which was not easy to repair.

But in the end, Brooke made up his mind. No matter how good the gold was, his own life was not important. He also followed Zhang Heng's example and sent someone to notify his crew. However, Brooke did not plan to run too far. He wanted to go to sea first to see the situation.

As for the other two captains, they were still hesitating, especially the one who was so drunk that he couldn't stand still. He didn't have the strength to leave even if he wanted to leave at this time.

Time passed by, and everyone had their own thoughts at this time. However, in order to prevent riots, no captain told the crew on the beach the truth. In addition, Black Prince Sam still did a lot of things, He pulled out the artillery that had been set up on the beach, and at the same time selected a few sober people to go through the woods to set up observation points in another direction.

However, this approach is only better than nothing. During the day, due to the good visibility, the target can be spotted from a long distance away, and the people at the observation point can also have time to notify the port. But now it is late at night, and the visibility has dropped sharply. Even if you can see it, There may not be time to deliver the message to the ship.

The terrain of Cockatoo Island once helped them a lot when they ambush the Spanish treasure ship, but now it has become a problem for them. Because of the obstruction of the rock wall, it is impossible to see what is outside the port from the beach. .

Black Prince Sam actually tends to believe Zhang Heng in his heart, not only because the two parties have cooperated before, but one of Zhang Heng and Jarvis lied. If Zhang Heng lied, then just watch the batch of gold on the Jackdaw. He couldn't run away, but if Jarvis was lying, the problem would be much more serious.

Because not even half of the people on the beach are still able to move, and half of the people who can still move are basically unable to think normally, and they have just experienced a fierce battle, and each pirate ship is more or less There is damage and insufficient ammunition. Under such circumstances, if a navy warship suddenly appears, there will be no suspense about the outcome.

Zhang Heng must have seen this clearly, so he decisively chose to leave.

Black Prince Sam did not blame Zhang Heng for abandoning the others and being unloyal. With the Jackdaw in its current state, Zhang Heng's remaining manpower could only barely fly it. There was no extra manpower for fighting. There was no choice but to leave.

On the other side, all the crew members on the Jackdaw finally boarded the ship in batches. Except for Harry, Ramsay, the cook on the ship, also made a great contribution this time. In just ten minutes, he actually got there. Most of the crew were found on the chaotic beach, but in the end only two people were left who could not be found anyway.

Zhang Heng did not wait any longer. He was one of the last people to evacuate the beach. He pushed Jarvis into the ferry boat and then got in himself.

Anne and several other sailors were rowing, while Dufresne temporarily took over Billy's position, directing those who were still conscious on the boat to lower the sails, furl the anchor, and prepare to leave the harbor. At this time, everyone was racing against time. .

When the boat left the shore, Jarvis finally took off all disguises and spoke.

"Did you find my people in the woods?"

"No, strictly speaking, it was your people who found my people in the woods." Zhang Heng said.

"Interesting coincidence, but you know you can't escape like this forever, right? Even if you can escape this time, what about next time? Very few people in our profession can die well, even Honig, he Now that he occupies the fort on the island, he no longer has to take the risk of going out to sea to plunder, but if the English Redwood Army arrives there one day, he will also have no way to escape."

"To a certain extent, I support your point of view, but this is not a reason for you to betray the group of people on the beach. Many of them regard you as friends and brothers."

"It always takes a little courage to start a new life. Say goodbye to the past completely. Only in this way can I live a better life in the new world. You haven't seen them. You have seen the way they look at us. Their eyes are like Looking at some kind of beast, you see, the focus is not all on that pardon. I need to completely wash away this past and leave everything here, so that I can become a...person in the true sense." Javi Si murmured.

"Then I hope you get what you want." The ferry boat has arrived next to the Jackdaw. Zhang Heng put away the short musket in his hand and grabbed the cable on the side.

Just as the Jackdaw set up its sails and prepared to leave, a dark shadow appeared not far from the port.
