Infinity through different life

Chapter 469 What Are We Here For?

The night sky is like a blue and boundless blanket, with shining stars embedded in it like gems.

Under the light of the bright moon, the surface of the sea seems to be covered with a blanket of silver light, reflecting the sky far away.

"The weather is nice tonight."

On the high city wall near the sea in Port Royal, groups of patrolling soldiers are in a good mood. Looking down, you can see the area extending thousands of meters from the pier at a glance.

In such an environment, they can finally relax a little bit, without staring nervously at the depths of the darkness, worrying about being attacked by someone.

Since the previous night attack by the Black Pearl, the security of the entire Port Royal has been raised several levels, especially at night.

Warships were moored neatly at the port, and one of them, a huge sailing battleship that looked like a fortress, was particularly eye-catching.

It is the Dreadnought, the pride of the British Royal Navy, with a length of 67.8 meters and a width of 15 meters. Its construction consumed a total of more than 2000 oak trees and 38 tons of iron.

The Intrepid has a displacement of more than 2000 tons, a solid hull, and very powerful firepower. There are three artillery decks on the left and right sides of the ship, and a total of 102 iron cast cannons and 2 giant short guns are installed. There are 35 tons of gunpowder on board, and 120 tons of shells.

However, the only shortcoming of such a powerful warship is its speed. Although the ship is equipped with three 60-meter-high masts, its speed is only eight knots, about half of that of the Black Pearl.

"We're leaving tomorrow, and we must make those damned pirates look good."

The patrolling soldiers looked at the warships moored below with full confidence. They knew very well in their hearts that neither Governor Swann nor Commodore Norrington could wait to find Elizabeth.

But no one noticed, just below, under their noses, small boats swaggered forward on the sea.

Every small boat was full of pirates. They paddled slowly, trying not to make too much noise, and slowly approached the Intrepid battleship.

"This can work too?!"

The pirates on the ship looked at each other with surprise in their hearts.

As soon as they raised their heads, they could clearly see the soldiers patrolling the city wall and the port, but every time the other party looked over, they acted as if they couldn't see them, allowing them to drive straight in.

The pirates couldn't help looking at Xu Jing who was sitting on one of the ships, and finally understood what the order before the action meant.

Seeing the Dreadnought getting closer, everyone became excited, gearing up, ready to fight.

"Go up and tidy up, and then sail!"

Unexpectedly, when they came below the Intrepid, a new order suddenly sounded in the pirates' minds.

sail?
No need to fight?
The pirates didn't know what was going on, but they remained cautious and climbed up the ship's side lightly.

However, the expected battle did not appear at all.

I saw that on the deck of the Intrepid at this time, all the guarding British naval soldiers fell on the deck, unconscious.

The pirates boarded the ship one by one, and each of them was stunned in place, wiping their eyes and staring blankly at the unconscious enemy.

Originally they thought it was a dangerous battle of life and death, but they didn't expect it to be so simple, so simple that it was unbelievable.

What are we here for?

Some pirates began to doubt life.

"What are you still doing in a daze, quickly raise the anchor and raise the sails!"

After Xu Jing also came up, everyone woke up like a dream and acted quickly.

The pirates finally understood that they were here to sail.

At this moment, everyone felt very complicated, and various emotions kept rushing to their hearts.

Xu Jing turned around on the Intrepid, feeling very satisfied with this battleship.

He looked up at the patrolling soldiers who were still unaware, and stopped paying attention. For ordinary people, even the simplest illusion is enough to deceive the opponent's perception.

It didn't take long for the sails of the three masts of the Intrepid to be unfurled, accompanied by the sound of a gust of wind, from stillness to movement, and then quickly sailed through the waves.

"what's the situation?"

The soldiers on the city wall, the port, and other ships finally sensed that something was wrong. They stretched their heads to look at the source of the sound, but found nothing.

But soon, the Intrepid which was staying in place suddenly disappeared completely under the gaze of everyone like a bubble.

Where did the ship go?

The soldiers were stunned, and an uproar ensued.

The sharp whistle sounded quickly, and spread far under the silent night sky.

By the time Norrington and Swan rushed to get the news, the port was already in chaos.

"Where's the Intrepid?" Norrington growled angrily, "Are you all a bunch of idiots? Why did such a big ship disappear?"

He went up to the city wall and looked around with binoculars, but he couldn't find any trace of the Dreadnought, but he made another discovery.

"Quickly, send someone there to pick it up." Norrington pointed in the direction of the boat and shouted.

Soon, the people who were ordered to respond brought back two young men, a man and a woman, and these two were Will and Elizabeth.

While Norrington and Swan were pleasantly surprised, they finally learned the reason for the disappearance of the Intrepid from their mouths.

Damn pirates!
Norrington was furious. He couldn't understand how the pirates snatched the Dreadnought, but he had to bear the unshirkable responsibility for the loss of the Dreadnought. It was conceivable that what he was about to face was definitely not a good thing.

"Come on, arrest Turner for me!" He was business-like, and after the soldiers subdued Will, he said, "Mr. Turner, you helped the pirates snatch the Intercept, what else do you want to say? "

Elizabeth was anxious: "But she is here to save me!"

Norrington remained silent, knowing this of course, but it only made him angrier.

"I will take responsibility for everything I do." Will had long thought that there might be such a day, he looked at Elizabeth, "I must tell you, from the moment we met, I fell in love with you .”

At this moment, Norrington and Governor Swan were all stunned, and turned to look at Elizabeth.

But Elizabeth was stunned at first, and then covered her mouth with surprise and excitement. She ran to Will desperately, blocked him, and looked at Swan and Norrington with a stubborn expression.

"You...!" Norrington was frightened and angry, his face changed again and again, and he said in a trembling voice: "Is this where your true heart lies?"

"Yes!" Elizabeth answered without hesitation.

"Let him go!"

Norrington lowered his head dejectedly, turned and left.
