Chapter 575

About half an hour later, Angelica stepped down from the helmsman's position and returned to her bilge to rest.

As soon as she entered the bottom cabin, a big hand covered her mouth, and before she could struggle, a sharp dagger was pressed against her neck again.

Angelica smelled the familiar smell of sweat, and she, who was about to resist, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "...Jack, stop making trouble."

Jack frowned and said, "You still know it's me? You tricked me onto the boat! Made me a sailor!"

Angelica smiled and said, "Isn't this great? I told you, I have a boat!"

Jack said in a deep voice, "But this is not your boat, this is Blackbeard's boat!"

Angelica smiled and said, "What's the difference? Blackbeard trusts me."

Jack sneered, "Oh, my Angelica, you are so naive. Blackbeard kills people like hell and is good at using all kinds of terrifying witchcraft. How can he trust you?"

Angelica smiled and said, "Of course he won't trust someone easily, unless that person is his daughter."

Jack was taken aback, "You? His daughter? Blackbeard has a daughter?"

Angelica grinned and said, "Yes, a daughter who has been separated for many years and just met recently."

Jack suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment, "It seems that you are still very strong in imitating me, and you can even think of this kind of trick, but speaking of it, you do have unique conditions. If you change If it were me, when I saw Blackbeard and said that I was his son, I'm afraid he would never believe it."

Angelica smiled, and didn't make any excuses, but continued: "In short, Blackbeard trusts me, and we can work together, Jack, I know you've always wanted to find the Fountain of Youth, didn't you?"

"Blackbeard's boat is going to the Fountain of Youth, which means that Blackbeard also wants the Fountain of Youth, so in the final situation, it is very likely that you and Blackbeard will get the Fountain of Youth, and I will become your cannon fodder. "Jack analyzed very rationally.

Angelica smiled and said, "No, Jack, here comes the most exciting part—according to a prophecy, Blackbeard will die within two weeks, and he will be killed by a man with only one leg, so he must Find the Fountain of Youth within two weeks."

Jack frowned and said, "So that's the case, then what do you mean, we should delay as much as possible and let Blackbeard die first?"

Angelica smiled and said, "No, Jack, we must find the Fountain of Youth within two weeks, otherwise, we will be killed by Blackbeard before he dies."

"So?" Jack asked, frowning.

Angelica smiled and said, "So, ours will help him find the Fountain of Youth first, and then look for opportunities to kill him."

"Aha." Jack nodded in satisfaction, "Can I trust you?"

Angelica smiled and said, "Of course, don't forget what relationship we used to have."

Jack laughs: "We can go back to that relationship now."

Angelica cleverly avoided Jack, "...find the Fountain of Youth first."

Jack sighed helplessly.

On the other side, a clipper ship of the British Royal Navy was riding the wind and waves.

Captain Barbossa raised his binoculars and looked at the vast sea, frowning slightly.

He has been sailing for five days according to the direction given by Gibbs, but so far, he has found nothing.

"Go and bring Gibbs."

"Report Admiral, Bosun Gibbs got drunk last night and is sleeping now," reported a soldier.

"Then wake him up! Splash him with water!" Barbossa said angrily.

"Yes!"

The guards rushed into the hold immediately, and after a while, there was a deafening yelling and cursing in the hold.

After a while, the drenched Gibbs came out of the bottom cabin with a face full of anger.

"Bosun, I need a map." Barbosa said coldly, "Is our position correct? Is there any deviation?"

Gibbs looked at the chart, then at the position of their ship, and then said: "There is no deviation, this course is completely correct."

Barbosa frowned and said, "How do you prove your words? What if you didn't memorize the map at all and were just lying to us?"

Gibbs grinned. "If you don't take my word for it, just look at your right side."

Barbossa immediately looked to the right, and saw three large ships with sails of the Catholic Cross appearing in the sea area on the right.

This is exactly the Spanish Navy!
Spain and England are rivals at sea!

In the 15th century, Spain was the overlord of the sea, and it was not until the 17th century that the position of the overlord of the sea was taken over by England.

These two countries competed with each other on the American continent, and when they met at sea, they exchanged fire without even asking.

Barbosa immediately shouted: "Everyone is ready to fight! Lower the sails! Let go of the gun cables and aim at the enemy fleet! Listen to my orders!"

The entire British Royal Navy immediately took action, and the entire ship was put on high alert.

In less than 3 minutes, all the prep work is ready.

It has to be said that the combat quality of the British Royal Navy is still very high, which is much higher than that of untrained pirates.

The adjutant said eagerly to Barbosa: "Your Excellency, we are fully prepared, please order."

Barbosa nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time opened the binoculars to look at the three Spanish ships.

He has only one ship here, but there are three on the opposite side.

Theoretically speaking, if there is a real fight, he will suffer.

Therefore, it is very important to strike first. As long as you can concentrate your firepower, destroy the Spanish flagship in front of you first, and then slowly deal with the remaining two Spanish ships, you will win this battle.

Barbosa is an expert in naval warfare, and Barbosa also participated in the battle of the pirate king to destroy the fleet on which the sun never sets. His experience in naval combat is definitely very strong.

However, when he saw the situation on the side of the Spanish ship through the binoculars, his originally firm battle plan suddenly became hesitant.

The adjutant urged eagerly: "General! Please give the order!"

Barbossa put away the binoculars, frowned and said, "Why don't they prepare for battle?"

The adjutant shrugged, "Perhaps, they haven't found us yet."

Barbosa shook his head, "Impossible, there are only a few ships like us in the whole sea, it is absolutely impossible for them not to notice us. They...don't care about us."

If you want to fight at sea, you must slow down the speed of the ship and let the sails half open and half closed, so that the hull can be stabilized and the power of the artillery can be fully exerted.

Barbosa's ship was originally ahead of the Spanish ship, but now, in order to prepare for the battle, Barbosa's ship had to slow down the ship and adjust the angle of the cannon, but it fell behind.

Barbosa took a deep breath, "The Spaniards don't care about us at all. They only care about the Fountain of Youth."

"General, what should we do now?" the adjutant asked.

"Our purpose is not to entangle the Spaniards, we have to reach the Fountain of Youth first! Order all sailors, all return to their positions, open the sails, and sail at the fastest speed!"

"Yes!"

"All in place! Sailing fast!"

Immediately, the British Royal Navy and the Spanish Royal Navy launched a sea racing competition.
