"Steady...stabilize...keep the boat steady, cast the hook..."

"Closer! The distance is 10 meters... 5 meters... 3 meters..."

"Put up the schooner and launch the ship at anchor. The stormtroopers jump overboard to check, and the whole ship is upgraded to the second level of alert. The admiral has ordered that the guns be loaded!"

An order reverberated over the Prosperous Age. Under the order, more than 200 officers and soldiers on the whole ship hurriedly formed a group, doing everything to connect with the San Carlos, which was close at hand.

The state of the San Carlos is strange.

She was floating on a calm lake just over an hour away from San Carlos. She was located in an important way, but described it as bleak.

There are obviously people on her deck.

Thirty or forty sailors in military uniforms were lying in the corners of the deck, lazily and silently, as if they were in the gap between life and death.

What exactly did these people go through?

The Shengshi became extremely cautious, and the second-level alert was played by the sailors as tense as the first-level alert.

The first is to steer the boat.

The original boarding plan was temporarily cancelled. Considering the relationship between Major Mara and Admiral Mara, the captain of the Prosperous Age even decided to let his first mate drop anchor first, and then gave advice to Admiral Mara.

By the time the admiral finds out, it's done.

The two ships stopped at a distance of three meters. They were connected to hook cables and supported poles. Stay away along the water, and don't allow her to approach at all.

A large number of sailors rushed out of the cabin and lined up on the side of the ship. There were seventy or eighty people in total. Every two people aimed at a figure on the opposite bank. Everyone leveled their guns and opened their hammers.

Immediately afterwards, thirty brave men formed a stormtrooper and jumped to the San Carlos on the cable.

After their searches, the news on the San Carlos was continuously passed back, which made the crew of the Shengshi awe-inspiring.

Indeed, as the lookout judged, they had just experienced a major battle. The people on board suffered a great loss, and everyone alive was exhausted.

No doubt these were truly gallant Spanish sailors!

Most of them were wrapped in bandages,

Blood oozes from the bandage.

The blood red came out from the crooked gaps of the military uniform, stretching the military uniform apart, looking extremely unfit, like a temporary wrapping on the body, which was extremely inappropriate for the owner of the military uniform.

The deck is also a mess everywhere.

Chopping can be seen everywhere, light smoke is everywhere, the tall white sails are crooked on the yards, some are still entangled on the yards, and some are unable to disperse, facing the wind, unscrupulously showing to the Shengshi Holes and scorched sails.

So tragic!

Such a big battle, so thrilling, the surviving sailors were so tired that they couldn't even lift a finger, even if some stormtroopers fell from the sky, their faces were numb, and they couldn't see a trace of emotion.

The captain of the charge quickly found several officers in the stern cabin. The leader claimed to be Second Lieutenant Alejandro Diego de Lopez, the second officer on board, from Andalusia, a tall and heroic card Styrian nobility.

He was immediately taken aboard the Prosperous Age and brought before Admiral Mara and Governor Hawthorne.

Admiral Mara frowned and looked at him: "You are..."

"Report sir, Alejandro de Lopez is reporting to you!"

"Second Lieutenant Lopez..." Admiral Mara still couldn't find the life after exhausting his memory, so he could only say regretfully, "You can briefly introduce yourself first."

"Yes, sir! The official title of this officer is the Second Lieutenant of the San Carlos, and he is in charge of handling orders. Because Mr. First Officer died heroically in battle last night, he was entrusted by the captain to temporarily take the position of first officer on the ship!"

"Major Mara asked you to act as first mate temporarily?" Admiral Mara was really taken aback by the news, almost subconsciously, the question was already blurted out, "When and by what means did you transfer to the San Carlos? "

"It was the year before last, sir! To be more precise, I was officially appointed by the formation headquarters at 2 pm on September 17, 1778." Lorraine's voice was high-pitched and iron-blooded, "Your officer is a graduate of the Royal Naval Academy in Barcelona , under the care of the seniors, he was transferred to the garrison formation with the rank of sergeant as soon as he graduated, and then served on the San Carlos according to the order of the formation headquarters."

"Xiaguan clearly remembers that on the day of arriving in Grenada, Xiaguan and 19 classmates received your warm hospitality. The wine that day was very sweet, and Xiaguan has always remembered it in his heart, but he couldn't find a chance to express his gratitude to you. sir!"

"Oh! It's that little Lopez!"

Admiral Mara actually didn't remember any of Lopez's appearance and resume at all, but he did have the habit of entertaining graduates of the Barcelona Sea School, and it was a small-scale family banquet that was not rumored, which was the most suitable for proving his identity.

The Barcelona Sea School is the fundamental pillar of the Spanish Mediterranean Fleet. The young people who come out of it belong to the Mediterranean Fleet system. In the system, they are the younger generations and their own people who are worthy of support.

That makes sense.

Admiral Mara clearly remembered that when his nephew was away, he specially selected a young and vigorous first officer and a whole young officer corps composed of sea school graduates and pioneer descendants.

The first officer was the leader of the pioneers of Grenada, and the rank of captain was basically his apex, so he would not pose a threat to his nephew's status.

And if the chief mate encounters an accident, with his nephew's character, he will indeed favor those outstanding sea school juniors. Even if he does so, it will not bring any benefit to his mediocre personal talent.

In any case, Second Lieutenant Lopez's identity confirmation was passed, and there was no possibility of being impersonated by the attacker.

But this also means that last night, the San Carlos was indeed viciously attacked on Lake Nicaragua.

What happened last night? At the critical moment of power rotation, why did the San Carlos leave the port overnight, and why was it attacked by people after leaving the port?

The most pessimistic guess, is San Carlos still in control?

Admiral Mara looked at Governor Hawthorne worriedly. Hawthorne stepped forward and said softly, "Young man, tell us the details of last night."

"Yes, sir!"

Lieutenant Lopez held his chest high, but his eyes showed a little nostalgia and confusion.

"Last night, we were attacked," he said. "It may not be accurate to say that. It should be said that San Carlos was attacked."

"This attack was foreshadowed. The captain was almost assassinated at the lakeside villa. That night we caught a few living tongues. From their mouths, we learned that the remnants of Thomas the Fly were planning a huge looting. Destroy San Carlos completely and avenge their leader!"

Hawthorne's eyes froze suddenly: "What did you just say? On the night Major Mala was attacked, did you capture prisoners at the scene of the attack?"

"Yes, three, they only survived the rest of the thugs by two days, but they gave a lot of valuable information before fully atoning their sins to God!"

"But the major's letter to the admiral clearly stated that there were no prisoners!" Hawthorne turned his head abruptly, and fixedly looked at the admiral Mara, "Is that right, admiral?"

The admiral sneered: "Mr. Governor, you were a guest at my headquarters when the letter was delivered. We unpacked and read the wax together, remember?"

Hawthorne let out a deep breath, and his expression suddenly returned to a pleasant expression.

"I apologize for my gaffe just now, Mr. Admiral, you know, this is a very important error." He said briefly, and immediately turned his head back to Lopez, "Please continue, Second Lieutenant."

"Yes, sir!"

Lopez carefully recalled the words just now: "Interrogation has obtained important information. The captain told us that this is information that must be kept strictly confidential. Once it is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous, especially for Baron Torresias. Captain There are unique channels, and there are indications that Baron Torresias has a deep and long-term cooperation with the pirates."

"So the captain only told Colonel Oviedo the news..."

"What! Oviedo knows too?"

"Yes." Lopez did not hesitate, "He is the first insider other than us. If he didn't tell his subordinates, then he is the only insider in the entire fortress other than us. Sorry for the concealment It was he who made the suggestion. He believed that the pioneers had penetrated into the two main points of the admiral's headquarters and the governor's mansion. Reporting upwards meant that the information would be delivered to the desk of Baron Torresias as soon as possible. superior."

Both the admiral and the governor had solemn expressions on their faces at the same time.

Admiral Mara asked eagerly, "What happened next?"

"Later... last night, the Watergate tower was the first to be attacked, and Colonel Oviedo was assassinated."

"Oviedo is dead?!"

Lopez nodded emphatically: "After his death, many fires broke out in the fortress, the captain was assassinated again, and had to flee the port overnight under our escort. Unexpectedly, on the way to Grenada to report, we were met by Ambush by pirate ship."

Admiral Mara immediately caught the loophole in Lopez's language: "It's the dry season, what kind of pirate ship can enter Lake Nicaragua from the Caribbean Sea?"

"Sloops, there are three Sloops in total, large and medium, without artillery, and full of elite and brutal pirates."

Seeing the situation, Hawthorne also interjected: "Just three Sloops can put the San Carlos in a tough fight?"

"Our rudder was conspired to sabotage!" Lopez said indignantly, "The purpose of the saboteurs is very clear. They are obviously planning to completely occupy the San Carlos Fortress, and the ultimate goal is probably to take advantage of the two officers' understanding of the status quo. I don't know, in San Carlos, catch both of them!"

"Toresias...he dares!" Admiral Mara slapped his palm on the desk, and clenched his teeth, "Pirlo!"

Lieutenant Colonel Pirlo, the captain of the Shengshi, responded immediately outside the door.

"Second Lieutenant Lopez said that the rudder of the San Carlos was artificially damaged. Send someone with good water skills to check it out. Regardless of whether it is true or not, report it immediately!"

"yes!"
