Set Sail! Storm in the Caribbean! Chapter 45: The Castle

Chapter 45 Castle

The once prosperous streets have become blood-soaked ditches. The blazing firelight reflects cries and roars, and the pirates' wild laughter echoes in this port that has been peacefully ruled for seventy years. After landing, more than a hundred selected pirates stood in a scattered manner. Looking at their eager expressions and fanatical eyes, they seemed to want to join the looting immediately. If it weren't for the prestige of Scar Henry and Fang Senyan's ruthlessness as a restraint and suppression, I believe they would have rushed into the store long ago.

Amid the shouting and cursing, the pirates on the Bell and the Wineglass rushed quickly and chaotically towards the Tortuga Castle. The driving force behind them was naturally the legendary mountains of wealth in the castle. On the way forward, they stepped on the still warm corpses, and breathed the bloody smell mixed with gunpowder. Many senior pirates couldn't help but get excited and shouted wildly with their chests open.

Fang Senyan, who had never experienced such a scene, was a little distracted for a moment, but he immediately adjusted his mentality, scolded and scolded the pirates around him to speed up, and immediately opened fire without hesitation if anyone blocked the way! This barbaric and bloody practice would probably cause a big disaster in normal times, but it undoubtedly played a very good effect in this chaotic and prosperous port.

"Look!" A pirate in the front cleverly picked up a small piece of turban from the side: "This is Old Butch's stuff. It seems that they also took this road to the castle."

Fang Senyan took the half piece of turban and found that there was no blood on it, and the cross-section seemed to be quite rough. His eyes flashed, and his pupils shrank slightly, but he shouted:

"Everyone, work harder! Old Butch was so excited that he even threw away the turban. Our partners are probably waiting for a lot of treasures to move."

The pirates next to him were immediately excited, and at the same time raised the scimitar in his hand and screamed wildly! He ran faster. Scar Henry wanted to ask for the half piece of turban, but Fang Senyan had already led his men to the front of the team. He felt a sharp pain in his head, so he could only take out his wine bag and drink a mouthful of rum to numb his nerves, then reluctantly covered his head and followed the team.

When the pirates arrived at the gate of Tortuga Harbor, they found that the majestic and magnificent castle was dark and full of dead silence, as if it had been abandoned for hundreds of years. All that was left were ghosts, spider webs and dust. The bright lights seen in the past seemed to be just a bubble illusion. The gate of the castle was also opened, waiting for the prey to be delivered to the door like the mouth of a giant beast. The team sent earlier seemed to have completely evaporated in the world!

Faced with such a strange situation, all the pirates fell silent, and only the "crackling" sound of burning torches could be heard clearly. The pirates looked at each other in bewilderment, and some timid people even changed their faces. In their imagination, this place was either heavily guarded or in chaos, but they had never expected such a weird scene.

It was time for Fang Senyan to make a decision. He came to Scar Henry and whispered:

"This should be the enemy bluffing."

Scar Henry said in a deep voice:

"What do you mean?"

Fang Senyan said calmly:

"According to the information we have now, it was Little Fok who took the initiative to attack the Black Pearl. That means he had plenty of time to plan this. At this time, Little Fok's main force was still on the Black Pearl, and he must have insufficient manpower to stay in the castle, so he deliberately made such a formation, wanting to take advantage of the scattered manpower after entering the castle to attack. Enemies. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just close the castle gate and keep the enemy out? "

"What about Charles and the others?" Henry said:

Fang Senyan said in a decisive tone:

"I think they should have dispersed to look for treasure after entering the castle, and they should still be trapped in it. If we go in right away, we can still save people!"

This trip was originally led by Fang Senyan, and Scar Henry was only responsible for monitoring. Although he felt something was wrong for a while, he was suffering from continuous severe pain in his head at this time, so he couldn't find any reason to refute Fang Senyan. Fang Senyan also directly told the pirates about his inference. Given his previous prestige, even if someone had any doubts, they could only swallow them in their stomachs.

Fang Senyan then divided the pirates into six groups, and the group with the smallest number of people had at least more than 20 people. Each group was arranged with close-combat swordsmen and shieldmen, and long-range musketeers, and the combination was quite reasonable and impeccable. Then he continued to seduce the pirates with the wealth inside, and finally rushed into the castle with a torch in his hand.

Since Fang Senyan had shown a high attitude of "follow me" instead of "charge for me", Scar Henry was too embarrassed to stay behind, so he led another group of people into the castle. The two leaders led the way, so what else could the desperate pirates say? In addition, the torches in their hands gave them great courage, so they also rushed in with a roar. According to the pre-arranged distribution, each group of pirates would split off a group to explore when they encountered a fork in the road. Soon, the huge Tortuga Castle divided and swallowed up the six groups of pirates.

After being dispersed into small teams, Sheyan still took the lead and walked at the front of the team holding a torch. However, he looked very leisurely, as if he had determined that the surrounding environment was very safe. Be on guard. Fang Sheyan's prestige among the pirates was not low at this time. The pirates followed him without saying a word. They occasionally exchanged a few words while walking, but the rest of the time there was a serious feeling of silence.

The furnishings in Tutuga Castle are quite gorgeous. Under the firelight, the camel hair carpets transported from the Middle East are stepped on. Not to mention the exquisite patterns on them, the soft touch alone is very comfortable. It gave these pirates an eye-opening feeling. However, those light and valuable things such as gold candlesticks and silver tableware disappeared without a trace. They were obviously hidden by the owner in advance. This also indirectly supported Sheyan's previous inference. Suddenly, a pirate in front stopped and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist. He turned around and said hastily:

"Be careful, it smells of blood!"

Everyone immediately took a few deep breaths and found that there was a faint fishy smell in the air. This was undoubtedly a very familiar smell to these desperadoes who killed without blinking an eye. The situation suddenly became tense, and many pirates pulled out their weapons. However, Sheyan brought the torch close to the ground and found a string of light brown blood stains that was difficult to identify on the thick and soft carpet. Following the direction of the blood stains, They came to an abrupt stop in front of a seemingly solid granite wall.

"It's a secret passage!" A pirate's voice trembled with excitement. This series of bloodstains turned a corner and stopped in front of this wall. The guy who looked very injured couldn't suddenly evaporate, right? The only explanation is of course that he escaped into a secret passage. Without the blood stain as a guide, who would have thought that there was a secret passage behind this solid stone wall?

After getting the clues, these pirates began to search everywhere. Naturally, there were experts among these old fritters. They soon found a small handle under the carpet. The two pirates spent a lot of time to search for it. With all his strength, he pulled hard, and the dry sound of a large number of heavy iron chains colliding with each other immediately came from the wall. Then the granite wall roared and slowly rose, revealing a dark secret passage.

Under the illumination of the fire, the objects scattered on the ground of the secret passage gave off an eye-catching and lovely light. All the pirates were breathing heavily. Gleaming gold coins, exquisite tableware, and silk as smooth as milk were scattered sporadically in the secret passage. It seemed that they were obviously the result of being moved in a hurry. There is no doubt that these pirates roared with greed in their throats and rushed towards the wealth. They followed the scattered wealth into the depths of the secret passage. Only Sheyan was still standing on the spot holding a torch, with a strange expression on his face, which was both a bit regretful and a bit relieved.

Then he threw down the torch, took a deep breath, and used his right shoulder to slam into a long French window next to him! The rusty iron frame supporting the long window quickly succumbed to the huge force, twisted and broke. And the long window inlaid with colored glass broke instantly, shattering into millions of erupting flakes. And Sheyan's whole body also took advantage of the situation and rushed out of the castle, bent his knees in the air, tightened his abdomen, and landed on the ground!

The first thing to hit the ground is the sole of the foot, and then the arch of the foot. When the heel touches the ground, the center of gravity of the entire body moves forward, and then the force of the downward thrust is transferred into a forward thrust. Sheyan felt severe pain in his feet, knees, and elbows, but it was just pain. He rolled on the ground five or six times in a row, and then stood up straight by pressing his hands on the ground. Although he had just jumped from the third floor of the castle, due to his proper handling, he only suffered some minor injuries and lost his health. Less than one-fifth. If you are not in combat at this time, it will be fully filled automatically in less than five minutes.

Sheyan took out the small half of a turban from his pocket and sighed slightly:

"I'm sorry, I knew this was a trap, but I still brought you in."
