Chapter 187 Ceasefire

Tonight everyone's attention was drawn to what was happening on the beach, so that no one noticed the Jackdaw and Vida who had just returned to port.

Zhang Heng also saw the fire and the crowd on the beach on the deck, but he didn't pay much attention to it at first. After the Jackdaw was moored, he took Annie and Billy to the pier in a boat, but he also paid attention to it immediately. To the strange position of the Breeze, and the two strange three-masted sailing ships in the port.

Zhang Heng realized what might have happened. Before the boat docked, he saw the tied up Breeze crew and Booker who died tragically.

Zhang Heng frowned, and said a few words to Billy, who nodded. After Zhang Heng and Annie disembarked, he immediately rowed back to the Jackdaw with the other two pirates.

Afterwards, Zhang Heng walked ashore on the soft sand, and the onlookers saw him consciously stepping out of the way.

Wilton turned his head when he heard the words, raised his eyebrows, "Sorry, who are you?"

"The captain of the Jackdaw, Zhang Heng."

"So," Wilton spread his hands, "does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"Miss Karina is the Jackdaw's partner on the island and also my friend."

"Oh, I see." Wilton nodded, "Then I'm afraid you have to find a new partner, because this Miss Karina has neither a ship nor a person, and she still owes me a big debt , is planning to be our guide, to accompany us happily and let me spare her life."

Karina heard that she could no longer control her anger, and slapped Wilton on the face.

The latter touched the place where he was beaten, and looked at the businesswoman. Karina took two steps back frightened by his eyes, but then saw another smile on Wilton's face.

It's just that that smile not only didn't let Karina breathe a sigh of relief, but instead gave her a bone-chilling chill.

Wilton turned his head and said to the subordinates behind him, "It seems that Miss Karina is not clear enough about her situation."

Immediately after he finished speaking, someone took Booker's body off the wooden bar and dragged the second prisoner over.

Karina's breathing became short of breath, and she looked at Zhang Heng for help, but she didn't know what else the latter could do at this time. Although Zhang Heng had already returned, he was the only one who was the first to go ashore on the Jackdaw Two people with Anne, and more than half of Wilton's crew are on this beach.

There is a huge disparity in power between the two sides, and no one can do anything in this situation.

Wilton played with his knife and walked towards the second prey. During this period, he looked at Zhang Heng provocatively. The latter was exactly as he expected, but he could only keep silent after witnessing this scene.

Wilton chose the chest this time. He tapped twice with the tip of the knife, fully appreciating the terrified expression of the prey, and then raised the knife in his hand again.

However, the next moment, two cannon shots suddenly came from his ears.

Wilton frowned, "Who's messing around again? We're here to do business, not to cause trouble. There are still some ruthless characters in this place. In addition to Honig just now, there are two Black Princes. And the guy with the black beard, we still have to be polite in other people's territory."

As a result, after he finished speaking, he saw a group of his subordinates looking at each other. After a while, someone said, "Captain, we didn't fire the gun, so... It seems that someone is attacking our ship."

Wilton's expression changed, and he looked towards the port. Sure enough, he saw that his flagship, the Skeleton, was being bombarded. Although there were many people on board, he obviously didn't expect that his side would be attacked. Prepare, after the first round of shelling from the opposite ship, their side didn't even have time to open the gun window.

"Return the Breeze and its cargo, release all the crew, and I will stop the attack." Zhang Heng said.

"if not?"

"Otherwise I will sink your flagship." Zhang Heng said lightly.

Wilton's expression darkened when he heard this, "I've been a pirate for so long and no one has ever threatened me."

"Congratulations, now you have it." Zhang Heng's expression remained unchanged, "You can continue to hesitate, but I can't guarantee that your boat will still be there five minutes later."

"Aren't you afraid of violating the rules of the island by doing this? Attacking ships parked in the port is prohibited in any city."

"You're not a pirate on the island, so it doesn't seem to be a problem for me to do this."

Wilton tapped the back of the knife with his fingers at an increasing speed, as if he was thinking about something.

"By the way, if you expect to delay the time and let another ship attack, I advise you to give up this idea, because I can guarantee that your other ship will not move at all."

Wilton didn't quite believe it at first, but when he saw the Vida parked not far away and the densely packed gun barrels on it, he knew that the other party was not talking big, and his other ship saw it. Don't dare to act rashly again.

Wilton looked into Zhang Heng's eyes, with a fierce light in his eyes, "Are you sure you want to be my enemy?"

"What about you?" Zhang Heng didn't dodge his eyes in any way, and kept looking directly at Wilton. The latter finally chose to give in, and waved, "Let me go."

Wilton's men cut the ropes on the captives. Two of the sailors of the Breeze ran to Karina's side immediately after they were freed, and the remaining middle-aged man staggered to the dead cloth. Ke Qian, holding the latter's body and crying loudly.

He is Booker's uncle and the person who brought Booker on board, but unexpectedly led his nephew to a dead end.

Wilton looked at Zhang Heng, who was indifferent.

Wilton gritted his teeth, "Notify the brothers on the ship, release the rest of the people, and return the ship and the cargo to them." Then he said to Zhang Heng, "Are you satisfied?"

Zhang Heng finally made a move this time. He raised his hand and made a gesture, and the lookout on the Jackdaw who was holding up a telescope to observe immediately notified Billy.

Half a minute later, the Jackdaw stopped attacking, but at this time the Skeleton was covered with scars, and although it did not sink, it basically lost the ability to fight back.

The firepower of the Jackdaw is far beyond that of ordinary pirate ships. The artillery on the ship is equipped with warships, and at such a short distance, basically no single shot misses.

Wilton's face was livid after learning of the damage to the Skull, but this time he didn't say anything, just took a deep look at Zhang Heng, and led the people back to the ship in a hurry.

Annie frowned, "We really just let them go like this? This guy doesn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp."

"After all, there are a lot of them on the shore. If we really want to push him into a hurry, he will attack us." Zhang Heng paused, "But you are right, he will definitely come back to take revenge on us after he repairs the boat. So tonight we will solve this trouble and inform the crew on the ship to prepare for battle."
