Chapter 222 Jarvis Has Nowhere to Escape
"You?" Dufresne raised his eyebrows.
"My body is small, maybe I can squeeze in through the gap, so that I can mend the hole in the bottom of the boat without moving the wine cabinet." Harry volunteered.
Dufresne looked at the bald carpenter on the other side.
The latter looked at Harry's figure and nodded, "Theoretically, it is possible."
"Just let me try, Mr. Dufresne, otherwise everyone will die here if the ship sinks." Harry begged.
"But the wound on your arm?"
"I was too scared and broke it when I ran away. It's just a little skin injury, it's not a problem." Harry said while moving his arm to show Dufresne.
The latter finally stopped hesitating and said to Harry, "Quick, take off your shirt."
Harry heard this and took off his coat according to the quartermaster's instructions. Then Dufresne tore off a sleeve from his coat, wrapped the cork inside, and handed it back to Harry, "Use this thing to stuff it." Cover the loopholes, you can adjust the size yourself, if it’s not enough, wrap it with a few more layers of fabric.”
"learn."
"Be safe, haven't you always wanted to be a member of the Jackdaw? If you do this well, I will personally make suggestions to the captain and recruit you to become a formal crew member."
Harry's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grinned, "Leave it to me."
After saying that, he took a deep breath and plunged into the water.
…………
On the other side, although Jarvis had wasted a lot of time trying to distance himself from the Jackdaw, he had finally reached the warship. He could already see Walden and Chris standing on the deck. Now, he had not met the former very often, but he had always kept in touch with the latter and knew that Chris was a high-ranking member of the Navy.
He had always passed the information on this operation to the latter on time. Jarvis put down the oar and waved to Chris, but Chris avoided his eyes.
Walden snorted coldly, "Are you feeling ashamed?"
"No, sir." Chris said even though his cheeks were hot, he still held his chest high.
"Communication with wild beasts is inherently intrigue. Thinking about the people who died in their hands, you don't have to feel any psychological burden. Now, I want you to raise your head and look into the other person's eyes."
Although Chris was somewhat resistant to this order, he still complied.
Jarvis kept waving his hands, finally attracting Chris's attention, but what he read from those familiar eyes was unprecedented indifference, and Jarvis felt a chill in his heart.
After all, he was also a famous pirate in the nearby waters. How could he not understand the meaning of that look? But to reach this point, he had already sacrificed everything and had no way out.
After betraying Black Prince Sam and others, he could not return to the pirates, and the crew of the Shore Warrior were all killed and injured, leaving him alone. Jarvis originally thought that he would be pardoned after doing all this. After that, you can completely separate yourself from the past, leave the old world, and embrace the new world.
However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that he had indeed left the old world, but the door to the new world seemed to be closed before his eyes, so he became a person with nowhere to go.
"Very well, let's get rid of him. When we get back, tell Count Lambert that Captain Jarvis was unfortunately accidentally killed by a stray bullet during the crossfire." Walden said calmly, "We will fulfill our agreement with him and let him return. In civilized society, after his death."
Jarvis saw the muzzle of the gun turned toward him on the deck. In fact, he still had time to abandon the ship and escape. After all, the Navy's focus was still on the Jackdaw and other pirate ships anchored in the bay. If he jumped, There was a high probability that he could dodge the shells, but Jarvis sat motionless on the boat.
He no longer knew where he could escape. Even if he escaped the shells, how would he survive in the future?
Following Chris's order, the gunner lit the match, and the first shell flew out against the ferry boat. The gunner took a moment to readjust the direction, but unfortunately the second shot still deviated from the target. The splash caused by falling into the water shook the boat, but Jarvis on top was as unmoved as a petrified statue. The third time, the gunner aimed for an extra long time, for half a minute, and finally succeeded in firing. Hitting the boat caused the latter to break into pieces.
After a while, Jarvis's body surfaced, but no one cared about it anymore.
Jarvis's death was just an insignificant episode in this war.
Then five warships and armed ships from the navy and pirate hunters launched a fierce attack on the pirate ships parked in the harbor. Black Prince Sam and others used the fastest speed to eliminate the stubborn warriors on the beach regardless of the cost of casualties. The crew of the ship then rushed towards the pirate ship anchored in the harbor.
They are currently seriously short of manpower, and can only barely make up two ships with gunners who can fire, so after totaling, they decided to combine the people of several ships, but just after they boarded the ferry boat, they rowed towards the nearest pirate ship. At that time, the cannonballs of the navy and pirate hunters arrived there earlier than them.
The pirates watched helplessly as their pirate ships were swamped by gunfire. The first one to sink was Brooke's Swordfish. The Swordfish had been severely damaged in the previous battle, and the carpenters on the ship could only repair a small part of it. , these are all recorded in detail in the intelligence given by Jarvis, so the Swordfish naturally became the navy's first target.
Even though Brooke was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but look livid when he saw with his own eyes that the pirate ship that accompanied him day and night was sunk like this.
The Tiger Shark followed closely in the footsteps of the Swordfish. The firepower of the latter was second only to the Vader. It was also one of the two pirate ships that Black Prince Sam and others were rowing the ferry to board. However, Before they got there, the Tiger Shark was set on fire. However, its hull was stronger than the Swordfish, so it lasted much longer than the Swordfish, and it also gained a certain amount of support for the pirates. time.
Black Prince Sam decided to abandon the Vader, which was too far away, and instead led the people on the ferry to turn around and row toward Jarvis's Warrior.
The crew of the Warrior had obviously considered how to evacuate after they fell out. The Warrior was also the closest ship to the beach. Unfortunately, an accident occurred later. They were exposed in advance and were suppressed by fire without any chance to board the ship again. Now let's give Black Prince Sam and others a chance.
It is not a chance to escape, but a chance to fight back. This victory has long been settled, but now there is still a group of people who have to fight for dignity.
