During this period of time, people still placed great importance on oaths and agreements. After seeing the signal flare. Immediately there were pirate ships that went over to help, but the legendary ships Queen Anne's Revenge and the Flying Dutchman surprisingly chose to remain neutral, raising their sails and sailing far away. Although there were many pirates that went to help, the Black Pearl's Captain Old Jack and First Mate Jack Sparrow didn't appear. This caused the pirates to fall into a state of fighting on their own. Without a leader, this caused the battle situation to turn chaotic.
At this moment, Ammand had also arrived on the deck, his hand pressed on the silver rapier by his waist. Looking at the white haired knight on the Black Pearl, his eyes suddenly emitted an ominous glint, as well as a wild ambition! A few days ago, after the battle with the Paragon fleet, Ammand's reputation had become number one under the three legendary pirate ship captains. Now that they were like a group of dragons without a leader, if he could stand out and defeat the owner of Tortuga port, and lead them to victory. From then on, his reputation would be on par with Blackbeard and David Jones. It would not be difficult for him to surpass them!
Just as Ammand was about to give his orders, Sheyan took a deep breath and suddenly spoke out.
"Captain! If I didn't see wrongly, the person on the Black Pearl should be Little Lord Fokke right? "
Ammand turned his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint.
"That's right."
Sheyan fearlessly looked at him and replied.
"Although we don't know why Little Lord Fokke would attack the Black Pearl like a madman, but obviously Tortuga castle has turned out in full force, its defensive capabilities are extremely weak!"
Speaking till here, Sheyan's eyes exposed a greedy glint, he lowered his voice and mysteriously asked.
"Why don't we reap some profits?" “
Ammand's heart was immediately stirred. He once again surveyed the battlefield. At present, there were at least 5-6 pirate ships that had arrived to reinforce the Black Pearl. They had completely blocked off the waters around the Black Pearl. Like beans being fried, gunshots rang out one after another. Smoke filled the air, and a hand-to-hand combat ensued. Amidst the chaos, there was desperation. If they rushed over now, it would be difficult for the Bell and Mug to even approach. It would be better to attack Tortuga castle to avoid the enemy's main force while besieging Wei to rescue Zhao. If he could force Little Fokke to retreat in panic, then the credit would undoubtedly be his. Even if Little Fokke steeled his heart to not return, he could still reap a bountiful harvest!
At the end of the day, how could saving someone feel better than robbing someone?
Although his heart had already approved of Sheyan's suggestion, Ammand purposely waited for a while. Until his subordinates understood the crux of the matter, their eyes emitting a lustrous luster like a hungry wolf as they gazed over with a thirsty gaze. Only then did he speak.
"Yes, that's what I meant as well."
The pirates immediately cheered. Similarly, they were going to bleed and risk their lives. However, at the end of one path, they would risk their lives to charge forward and only receive a few words of gratitude from their allies. At the end of the other path, they would kill, set fire, plunder, and loot. Even a fool would know which path to choose.
On the other hand, Ammand's scheming was profound, a simple sentence was enough to take Sheyan's suggestion as his own, completely sidelining him.
"Charles, Matt."
"This time, you guys will lead the team. Bring our young men with you! But don't bring too many people, to prevent other bastards from noticing. " Ammand called out their names, then his lips curled into a sinister smile.
"The Fokke family has been peaceful for too long, this time they actually dared to make a move on the pirates! Let them have a taste of fresh blood and knives! "
Charles wasn't surprised to be called out. Logically speaking, the chief officer Henry should be the one leading the team. However, his head injury from the battle with the Paragon fleet had yet to recover. Thus, when Charles took action, success would naturally follow naturally. However, Blind Matt, the vice-captain, being named seemed unexpected, but it was actually within reason. The Fokke family had been operating in Tortuga port for 70 years, their wealth could be said to be piled up like a mountain. Once they invaded, the benefits they would reap would be indescribable. If there wasn't a trusted aide like Blind Matt keeping watch at the side, how could Ammand be at ease to allow Charles to go?
As for Ammand's overseeing of the ship, it was also after careful consideration. As one of the future 7 great pirate lords, Ammand was definitely not a person who would be easily bewitched by wealth. Even though Tortuga port's 70 years of accumulated wealth was astonishing and alluring, the situation that night was exceedingly strange. The Black Pearl was actually attacked by Little Fokke, while the other two legendary pirate ships that were supposed to be of the same breath and branch were merely spectating by the side. At least half of the pirate ships were biding their time. Under such circumstances, taking the risk to attack was definitely necessary. More importantly, they had to protect the Bell and Mug's escape route! Furthermore, Ammand's perceptive sensing was rather high, his heart always had a faint feeling of extreme danger. Thus, he decided not to leave his ship tonight.
To Ammand, as long as he guarded this ship, then even if the pirates were to return with a full load, they would still have to return to the Bell and Mug. This was completely like meat rotting in a pot. Even if there were any unpredictable dangers, Ammand could immediately raise his sails and escape. Relying on this ship's formidable speed, as long as it wasn't the Black Pearl or the British flagship, the Dauntless, then they would definitely be able to escape! Thus, Ammand's overseeing of the ship was his exceptionally astute performance, it could be said to be a good chess piece that could attack or retreat.
Time swiftly elapsed. Very quickly, close to two hours had elapsed. The battle on the Black Pearl was still ongoing. During this period, there was no lack of pirate ship captains who were on good terms with Ammand, transmitting various bits and pieces of information to him.
There was news that at 5 pm in the afternoon, Tortuga castle sent out a butler to invite the Black Pearl's captain Old Jack and chief officer Jack Sparrow to attend a banquet. It was said that it was to discuss this year's cane sugar quota. In the end, only Old Jack went, while chief officer Jack Sparrow did not make it.
There was also news that the Black Pearl's chief officer Jack Sparrow was seen at the west of the island.
The final news was that Tortuga castle had received news that the pirates were about to turn hostile and raid the port, thus they decided to strike first to gain the upper hand.
These news were extremely messy, and there were obviously some truth and some lies. Even the astute Ammand fell into deep thought for a moment. Trying to find the truth from these messy surface phenomena was obviously a strenuous and unrewarding task. Furthermore, it must be noted that Sheyan wasn't the only one who was aware that Tortuga port was defenseless. The reason why Sheyan was able to react in the first instance was because he was already mentally prepared for such a situation. Even saying that Sheyan had single-handedly triggered the storm that engulfed Tortuga port was not an exaggeration. Thus, Sheyan's mind was already filled with all sorts of contingency plans and explanations. Naturally, he was able to remain calm and unflustered in the face of such a situation.
One could see that at this moment, several pirate ships had already started raising their skull flags, and started sending their underlings with knives and torches to follow the familiar route into the port. The only difference was that their identities had changed from customers to bandits. Furthermore, the people who set up shop in the neutral port weren't good people either. Therefore, in a short period of time, the entire bustling Tortuga port had sunk into blood, smoke and flames of war.
Ammand stood at the bow of the Bell and Mug, his back ramrod straight. He clasped his hands behind his back, surveying the chaotic Tortuga port from afar, his expression becoming more and more solemn. Standing behind him, Sheyan also took a deep breath, allowing the faint smell of smoke of the caribbean sea to fill his lungs. He seemed to be worried about something, but in his heart he was laughing coldly.
"Things are progressing according to my expectations … …"
To Sheyan who had single-handedly created the current situation, he naturally could guess what Ammand was worried about. It was definitely that group of robbers led by Xiaer and Blind Matt. According to the time, if this group of robbers was progressing smoothly, they should have sent out a signal to return. If they didn't return, there would only be two possibilities:
Possibility A: They successfully entered the defenceless Tortuga castle, and plundered a huge amount of wealth.
Possibility B: Their progress in Tortuga castle was not good, and their casualties were not light.
If possibility A was established, then these pirates would be on their way back to the Bell and Mug. At this moment, the situation in Tortuga port had already gone out of control. Those pirates who were already shouting and snatching with bloodshot eyes, after seeing Xiaer's group carrying a huge amount of wealth, even an idiot would be able to guess what they would do! Xiaer's group would definitely be besieged, and their casualties would be disastrous!
No matter what the situation was, the dispatched robbers would definitely suffer a huge loss due to the lack of manpower! This was definitely not what Ammand wished to see, the Bell and Mug had already lost too many core members these days. If anything were to happen to the team that was sent out, the strength that Ammand had in his hands could no longer be described as crippled. It would definitely drop by a level, and this was not even taking into account the huge loss of the spoils of war that they would bring back if they were to succeed in their raid!
Momentarily, the surrounding people could sense Ammand's hesitation and distress, but no one could speak, and no one dared to speak. The situation had sunk into an awkward silence, only the sound of the waves gently slapping against the side of the ship could be heard clearly. Ammand gazed at the night sky of Tortuga port that was dyed red by the flames, his right hand subconsciously grabbed onto his sword hilt, clenching tightly then releasing, releasing then clenching tightly again, obviously it was hard to make up his mind.
At this moment, Sheyan took a deep breath.
The night was boundless, the sea slightly swayed.
Sheyan stood by the side of the ship, his entire person seemed to have blended into the deep and boundless sea, giving off an indescribable sense of mystery and strangeness.
His breathing seemed to resonate with the tides of the sea, after a while, he finally spoke a sentence.
Sheyan stared into Ammand's eyes as he said this.
It was extremely sincere, and came from the bottom of his heart.
But only those who knew the truth would know how shameless this sentence was! This sentence was premeditated for a long time, painstakingly plotted and painstakingly painstakingly. However, all of the puzzles that he had laid out before had been laid bare!
.....
Wahahaha, this sentence I have to wait till 11: 30 pm to reveal. We haven't interacted for a long time, with this sentence, Xiao Fang's previous arrangement will be revealed.
