Charleston is doomed to be calm tonight.

Just half an hour ago, a hotel suddenly fired for no reason. The residents nearby worked together to put out the fire, but before they could celebrate, they heard another cannon.

A cannonball flew into the city by rubbing the city wall and smashed through the roof of a residential house, and this was just the beginning, then more shells poured on the city wall, and most people in the city were at this time forced It was thought that the French fleet had suddenly attacked, but you must know that the pride of the Imperial Family Navy, the Scarborough, is still moored in the harbor of Charleston.

The other party wants to directly clear the fort on the city wall without first solving this biggest threat. This behavior is undoubtedly neglect the root and pursue the tip, and it will inevitably pay a heavy price.

However, it didn’t take long for the stunned residents in the city to get even more shocking news-it was no one else who attacked Charleston. It was the Imperial Family Scarborough in the harbor.

The naval ship that has always played the role of the Guardian of the colony suddenly showed its fangs tonight, and launched an artillery bombardment of Charleston without warning. The fort on the city wall was the focus of care. First Round attacked, At least nearly half of the turrets were destroyed.

At this time, the defenders in the city were suddenly shocked and began to mobilize people in a panic, wanting to organize a counterattack, but immediately after the second round attack had fallen, the city wall was immediately turned back.

In the past, the colony was not unattended, but there were traces of it. From a distance, the enemy ship would be warned in advance. Everyone should be prepared, but the attack tonight was too sudden, and even the commanders in the city are not Know why Scarborough will attack his own like crazy.

The artillery fire lit up the night sky tonight. After a full five rounds of salvo, the city wall on the southeast coast of Charleston collapsed one third, and only a few artillery shells fell in front of Queen Anne ’s Revenge. Can wet the hull.

After that, Queen Anne ’s Revenge took a short break to wait for the barrel to cool down. At this time, Charleston ’s coastal defense was basically destroyed and no effective threat could be formed. So ten minutes later, the pirates on the ship began to attack the city according to the original plan. Perform free shooting.

One after another shells crossed the city wall that had been ruined, and fell into the streets, shops and houses. The crowd suddenly panicked and began to flee.

The location of the Governor ’s Palace is quite far away from the coastline, and it has not been affected for the time being. However, the expressions of the nobles and businessmen in it are also very unsightly. They are all people with faces and faces in the New World. They came to the Governor ’s Palace to attend the wedding. Encountered this kind of thing.

It has been 20 minutes since the incident, and no one has been able to find out the cause of the attack on the Scarborough. Everyone felt distressed about their shops and mansions in the city. They wanted to go back immediately and worry about the danger on the road. Now the city has become a mess of porridge, only the governor ’s house has 40 guards, which is the safest place.

Governor Walter of Charleston is directing the defense of the Governor ’s Mansion on the second floor. He has received news of the scrapping of the fort, but I do not know if the enemy did not immediately organize the landing because of lack of manpower, but Watt not at all took it lightly.

Not even the others downstairs, but upstairs, but his own loved one and the great character Beromont are there. If the latter makes any mistakes in his territory, the White Hall will definitely not let him go, so He also sent someone to notify the defending army to send another 20 guards.

After finishing all this, he was slightly relaxed.

On the other hand, the opposite Beromont seemed calm from beginning to end, and comforted Watt Road, “Do n’t worry, the largest planters in the inland are my friends. They have a lot of personal armed forces. People have been sent to find them. You can borrow 2 100 people from them to help you through this crisis. “

Watt hearing this great joy, “very good, I just arrived in the New World, many things are unfamiliar, and I will ask you for help in the future, but I heard that Boston has developed rapidly under your governance, especially on the issue of piracy. “Your bloody stance was unanimously praised by the military. When I left London, everyone was talking about your merits.”

Bellomont laughed at the tea, which was indeed the thing he was most proud of.

Watt wanted to say something more, but then a guard knocked on the door, “Governor, the reinforcements sent by the defender came over and are now downstairs.”

Watt was stunned. “Come here, is it so fast? Then I’ll take a look first.”

After talking to him, he accused Watt and went downstairs. Sure enough, he saw 20 soldiers who had just arrived outside the gate, but the heading officer looked a bit dead.

Suspicious in Watt’s mind, frowns saying, “What’s your name, who’s the sir? Why have I never seen you.”

The officer grinned, “You should have heard my chief’s name. His name is Edward Titch, but people seem to prefer to call him black beard.”

When he had finished speaking, he drew out a short musket around his waist and pulled the trigger at Watt, which was only a step away.

The gunshot shocked the people in the hall. Seeing the governor falling on the steps, a female guest could not help but screamed, and the male guest was not much better. No one would bring it to the wedding. Weapons, bare hands, faced with a group of soldiers armed to the teeth, everyone was left with fear and despair.

Fortunately, at this time, the guards of the Governor’s Mansion also arrived, and there was an exchange of fire with the soldiers of unknown origin. The two sides were in a fierce battle downstairs.

And almost at the same time, the door of the study on the second floor was also pushed open, and two guards dressed in came in, to the stunned Belo Monte Road, “Governor Watt has made it clear that the Scarborough has been In the hands of the pirates, they pretended to be the navy and launched an attack on Charleston. The target was you. “

“Me?” Beromont was a little surprised.

“Now the situation is urgent. They have killed downstairs and will come up soon. Governor Watt asked us to transfer you away immediately.” After the two guards finished, they raised Belmont’s arm.

“Wait, my daughter!” Beromont called.

“The sooner you leave here, the safer the people in this room are, the carriage is ready, and we leave from the back door.” The two guards finished, regardless of the others in the room pulling their heads and feeling a little dizzy. Lomont walked downstairs quickly.

The latter saw the dilapidated carriage outside and finally realized that it was wrong, and wanted to struggle against it, but it was too late. The two guards disguised by pirates no longer treated him politely and tucked him into the carriage roughly.

Beromont knew he was at the most dangerous time and wanted to jump by picking the car door, but then a saber rested on his neck.

A deep voice rang in his ears, “Mr. Bellomont, we finally met.”
