Six Hundred and Thirty Ninth No One

Arthas left the shelter, paced back and forth, stepping alone on the sandy beach with howling sea wind.

It is very close to Pier 30, more precisely, it is adjacent to the vacant Pier 29, and is separated from Piers 27 and 28 in the south by the rare rocky terrain on the island.

The shelter was built under the cliff. A small part of the rock foundation was excavated, and a sandy beach of about six or seven hundred square meters was excavated to connect with the natural sea cave below the cliff. After being closed and pumped, it has been repaired to its current state.

According to the family records, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent on this refuge, and hundreds of slaves were executed after the project was completed. Alsace firmly believed in this.

In his mind this sanctuary was a masterpiece, not only for the past, but for the present as well.

Along the beach, Alsace goes all the way to Pier 29, which is within easy reach.

The docks here are bleak and deserted.

Due to the long-term vacancy, weeds and moss are densely covered in the corners of the plank road, and unknown wild animals can be seen passing by from time to time, leaving only small clumps of shrubs swaying uncomfortably in the wind.

This place once hosted Leilano's post-dinner walk last night, and Alsace was also with him at that time.

Leilano obviously liked the desolation of No. 29, because as the only man-made building that could observe Pier 30 with his hands and eyes, this desolation greatly enriched the French general's sense of privacy and distance.

It seems that the French are really slow to the words "privacy" and "distance".

Alsace laughed, quickly stopped laughing, and lightly knocked on the door of the empty villa.

The door of the villa was quickly opened, and a muscular man came out from the empty room. His appearance was 50% similar to that of Alsace, and his figure was 90% similar to that of Alsace.

"Captain, you are back!" The man said to Alsace in surprise.

"I'm back." Alsace responded softly, "For two full years, you have been playing the role of Pavlomy with fear, Royerry, thank you for your hard work."

"Chellberg is Morgan's most loyal deputy and a servant. Since the time of the pirate emperor, the emperor has entrusted this glorious mission to my family. Commander, this is the honor of my life!"

"I know your family is loyal." Alsace stepped forward, held Royer's waist and kissed deeply, "Even if you know that loyalty is not what I want, all you can give me is loyalty."

Royerry was shy and apologetic: "I'm sorry, Tuan..."

"Don't apologize, you and I are tools, and tools don't deserve love." He let Royri go, "Guys, are you ready?"

Royerry took two deep breaths and nodded heavily: "A total of thirty barrels of cotton yarn, soaked in tung oil, enough to block the vents of the shelter three times!"

"Ignite the fire first, and throw the poisonous smoke into it." Alsace, or Pavlomy, whispered softly in Royer's ear, "Then block it."

"yes!"

"Royeri, that shelter is a masterpiece. Except for the entrance on the rocky cliff, the only exit is hidden below the waterline most of the time. His Excellency Lieutenant General Raylano didn't know it. In order to ensure the airtightness of the water gate, unless The tide must fall, or the water gate will not open."

Royeri's eyes sparkled: "That means that once the poisonous smoke is thrown inside, the French navy can escape from that small and narrow hole?"

"The cliff entrance is designed like this for concealment."

Even Pavlomy himself didn't know why he had to justify this kind of complaint,

Can't help but laugh dumbfoundedly.

"Anyway, that's the general situation," he said to Royerry. "You lead your men to stand guard at the door, and keep an eye on Charleville's range. Kill those who come out, and ignore those who hide in. If you want to surrender, accept it. Then kill."

"There are a total of 197 Frenchmen inside. If Raylano can't kill those laborers, there will be 214 people. They are well-equipped and well-trained. We don't have many people. Be patient and don't be reckless."

He was rambling on.

"By the way, it's not easy to ignite in the shelter, and those blueprints have been moved to the New Victory, so don't worry about throwing the fire. Even if it really burns inside, only the smoke will flow into the dock, and the fire will not."

"Then it's the follow-up." Pavlomy thought for a while, "The ship abandoned by the French at Pier 30 will be sunk. Use the method of sacrificial bombing. Don't scuttle it. The characteristics of the new Victory are too obvious, stay there, Don't move. We only take the blueprints and send them to Brazil by yourself, don't pretend to be someone else."

Royerry nodded his head when he heard a sentence, and said yes to a sentence.

"As for the French who died... It's not good to just die like that. After all, the corpse will reveal information, so it's better to let them disappear."

Royer nodded heavily: "Leader, are you not planning to go back to the regiment yet?"

"I still have something to do." Pavlomy shook his head with a smile. "Those idiots who only know gold and white flags, if I don't report to them, how will they find my dear and dangerous sister?"

...

Time, 2:15 p.m.

The great Rurik was sailing steadily along the coastline at a speed of 3 knots, it seemed unhurried, not at all as expected.

This is of course not an expression of Lorraine's true state of mind, but steady and slow progress is indeed an opinion expressed by Lorraine himself.

After the encounter with Bonet, Lorraine and his party arrived at Old Dukov's Pier 19 with a narrow escape.

According to his original intention, Lorraine at that time wished he could fly to the safe haven on the 17th immediately.

But it takes a lot of preparation time for the ship to leave the port.

After all, Pier 19 did not encounter any hostile situation at all. For Dukov’s sailors, the environment they were in had nothing to do with words such as danger and urgency. There is no second merchant ship of the Chamber of Commerce in the New World like Drake’s direct fleet. Similarly, even if no danger is detected, militarized combat readiness will always be maintained.

In other words, even though the cannons are already rumbling all around, the big-hearted Russians are still enjoying their island vacation comfortably, and it takes at least half an hour to leave Hong Kong in a state of combat readiness.

Lorraine's impatient heart could only be forced to calm down.

Fortunately, calm does not mean sitting still.

Dukov has always doted on the crew of the Rurik, and the centripetal force on the ship is no less than that of the Valkyrie. This means that Lorraine finally has the manpower to explore the island and collect intelligence.

The straight-line distance between Pier 17 and Pier 19 is less than one kilometer. If the avenue is ignored, the scouts spend less than 20 minutes searching through the forest. This means that Lorraine can fully grasp part of the information on Pier 17 before leaving the port.

Based on the above two points, Dukov quickly selected 5 groups of 25 people from his stormtroopers to explore the east, west, north, south and four shores and Pier 17 respectively.

As a result, the scouts at Pier 17 gave Lorraine an extremely meaningless reply: [Fierce battle in Safe Haven, full advantage of Valkyrie and its allies].

There is no doubt that this scout is the pirate's mole, and he is also an unqualified mole with perfunctory business and quick IQ!

Lorraine is not without any judgment on the battle situation at Pier 17!

Combining Valkyrie's vision, the terrain of the safe haven, the scale of the pirates' invasion, and Lorraine's own reaction and mood when the shells penetrated the dome of the venue, anyone with a little judgment can see Valkyrie the difficulties faced.

As long as the battlefield is in a safe haven, the possibility of Bell gaining an advantage is zero, purely zero, and there is no possibility of a comeback.

His only way of life was outside the bay, but before that, Valkyrie had to pass through that pocket-like mouth.

In the case of being raided, does Bell really have a chance to break through the mouth of the bay?

If it weren't for the still rumbling gunfire at Pier 17, Lorraine couldn't even believe that Bell could resist until now.

Haven fierce battle, all-round dominance, what a joke!

In order to make his lies a little more pathetic, that spy even made up an ally that didn't exist!

etc……

"Allies?" Lorraine shivered suddenly, raised his hand and grabbed the spy by the shoulders, and dragged him forcefully in front of him, "You mean allies? Valkyrie has allies? What identity? What type of ship!"

The "spies" trembled from the murderous look on Lorraine's body, his lips trembling and his face turned purple: "No... I don't know, there is no flag flying on the ship, but it is a big ship, bigger than Valkyrie, with several floors Gun bay..."

"A ship bigger than a Valkyrie, with several layers of gun bays... a battleship?"

This is the only answer that Lorraine can think of, but which country's battleship will rush to Wai Rust to fulfill justice? This is the territorial waters of the United States!

"Support Valkyrie's battleships even if it causes diplomatic disputes... An intelligence network that can detect the movements of Pirates of the Caribbean in time... Does such a ship really exist in the world?"

Lorraine looked at the sea and muttered to himself in a daze.

"Hina, we may have to take a little risk, seeing... is believing."
