I Have 48 Hours a Day
Vol 2 Chapter 170: Target Goddess Spear!
Jackdaw was chasing a ship named Goddess Spear based on information provided by Karina.
The latter is a whaling ship wandering in this area. This time they left the port and spent a total of more than a year at sea. Eventually, their patience finally returned.
Some time ago, some ships returned to Hong Kong said that they saw that they had killed a huge sperm whale. The latter was a giant beast that was seventy feet long and quite cunning. The goddess Spear had waited for three places where it often appeared. It was only a lucky moment that she won it.
But now all these efforts have paid off. The sperm whale is full of treasures. Fat can be made into whale oil. The huge skull cavity contains whale brain oil, which can be used to make whale wax. The intestines are even pregnant. With extremely precious ambergris.
It is a gray or slightly black wax. When it is taken out, the smell is often very unpleasant. After drying, it will show an amber color and emit a strange aroma. This high-grade fragrance is mainly used as a perfume fixative, and the price has exceeded gold, so it is not only Zhang Heng's Jackdaw that has spotted the whaling ship.
However, the first pirate ship to catch up with the Spear of the Goddess did not end well. Whaling in this era is a very dangerous job. Men who dare to do this work are real men.
They did not panic after seeing the black flag behind them, because there were not enough artillery on board, the captain did not order a counterattack in the face of the shells, but waited for the pirates to fight with each other after they boarded the ship. As a result, these men holding harpoons and fishing nets The sailor rolled farts from the pirates armed with muskets and scimitars.
In the end, they captured the pirate ship, removed the gunpowder and weapons from it, and when the general situation had determined that they had slit the throats of the surrendered pirates and threw their bodies on the deck, they wanted to use this method to scare the back pirate.
This approach did have a certain effect, and some underpowered pirates indeed retreated when they saw the piles of corpses and large blood on the deck.
But those powerful pirates became more and more excited, because it just proved that the other party's ship did have valuable goods, otherwise the sailors would not be so desperate, and a whaling ship would not scare them away.
The Jackdaw led by Zhang Heng did not withdraw from the competition.
With the victory of the first voyage, the Jackdaw completed a new round of recruitment, and the number of crew members rose to 62. This time, the number of recruited personnel is much higher than before, especially for the gunner. Billy Directly dug over the chief gunner of a powerful old pirate regiment, and the new chef Difraina found was also very powerful. It was originally a chef of an inn on the island. His skill in the sea for half a month It was praised by all the crew, and the boring sea life didn't seem to be so unbearable.
What's more important is that both the new and old crew are now full of confidence in Captain Zhang Heng.
With previous gains, Billy did n’t even need to make a speech to mobilize the ship when he left the port. He was already full of morale, and no one saw the ship's pirates killed halfway.
This is also the reason Zhang Heng feels that he can continue to pursue. At this time, he can appropriately take one or two hard battles to improve the cohesion and increase the practical experience for the Jackdaw.
The previous crossfire with Happiness was because the difference in strength between the two sides was too wide. In fact, it was not a decent battle at all, but more like a shooting practice. In addition to being a few guns at the beginning, it was painless and itchy. Basically, the Happiness was rubbed on the ground, so the sailor, Anne, was in the cabin and was in danger by being attacked by those navy students.
And this time dealing with the Goddess Spear will definitely not be so easy.
In fact, compared to the whaling ship Zhang Heng, he paid more attention to the situation of several other major competitors. They came across a pirate ship less than a week after leaving Hong Kong, and they encountered another one not long ago. The pirate ship raised the black flag at almost the same time, and then the helmsman across the boat came over for a brief exchange, exchanged the information at hand, and finally reached a consensus. They maintained restraint with each other, and thus went their separate ways. .
And this is not because of the friendship between the peers, but because the firepower of the Jackdaw is jeopardized by the opposite side. At this time, the two sides have not gained much, so they chose the most peaceful solution.
Zhang Heng looked at the direction of the ship going slightly slightly. He didn't know what's going on with Karina in Nassau. The business woman probably discussed the next plan with him before leaving, and Zhang Heng also took out The addition of 100 gold coins to the stock, in addition to helping Karina alleviate some of the cash pressure, Zhang Heng also did so to allow business women to further peace of mind and strengthen the alliance between the two parties.
In addition, he also promised to invest another 800 gold coins in the future, which will tie the two sides together. Karina no longer has to worry about being kicked out at any time. UU reading www.uukanshu.com and Zhang Hengze You can enjoy a 20% profit share. This share does not only refer to the income brought by Jackdaw. If Karina can attract more ships to cooperate in the future, each time they return to Zhang Heng with a full load, they will also get an extra In return.
Billy was also a little tempted, but because he had a family to support, he could n’t get too much money, and eventually only invested 30 gold coins. Instead, Annie invested 40 gold coins with Zhang Heng because he no longer needed to buy a house. People eventually became minority shareholders.
In addition, Laeri should also start to find ways to reach the tribal people in the Trows estate at this time according to the plan.
Zhang Heng just took a moment to return to reality. At this time, worrying is no longer meaningful. Since he has already gone to sea, he can no longer control what happened on the shore. He can only choose to believe in the ability of his allies. After all, as a pirate, his focus is It's still on the sea. If it weren't for the black business alliance, he wouldn't have devoted so much energy to land.
The sooner the Jackdaw became stronger and entered the ranks of the top pirates, the more he could control his own destiny, so every time he went to sea was important to him. This time, Zhang Heng also wanted to win prey.
Compared with other pirates, he has [Hunter's Blessing], [Lucky Rabbit Feet], and no false clues. These two things should be able to play a role in this chase. In addition, in two A few days ago he also received a system prompt, and his sailing skills were upgraded to lv2.
Now that everything is in place, Jackdaw can finally show its fangs.
