People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 31 The Island of Death is Nearby
"Quick! Stab him in the back!"

"What are you running for! A real man is going to face him!"

"Harder! Harder!"

On the deck of the Intrepid, the soldiers formed a circle, watching two burly soldiers fencing their swords.

It has to be said that among these naval soldiers, there are many people with outstanding swordsmanship. After all, they all want to fight the pirates to the death. In this era, just relying on a flintlock gun is not enough.

Following a tricky angle, one of the soldiers finally put the blade on the opponent's neck, and the two stopped their movements out of breath.

"It seems that our winner has been born." Tang Sen stood at the helm and clapped happily: "Congratulations, Sergeant Wallace, you have won the final victory."

Wallace put away his rapier, wiped the sweat off his face, and saluted Tang Sen with his head raised.

"According to the usual practice, you have been rewarded with thirty gold coins."

"Then, this is the end of today's game session. Those gentlemen who regret being eliminated don't need to be discouraged. You still have a chance tomorrow."

"Now, go back to your posts."

At this time, it has been nearly a month since the sailing from Port Royal.

Life on the sea is not as exciting as in the legends. What you can see most of the time is just the endless sea. Occasionally, you can see a ship, and you can avoid this huge fleet far away.

On such a boring day, the only thing that can cheer up the crew is Mr. Tang's game.

Each ship will have a chance to participate in the game once a day. Although most of the ships are not hosted by Mr. Tang himself, the game is designed by Mr. Tang. The soldiers under his command have carried out Mr. Tang's request very well, at least fair and just.

Lucky people are constantly being born, but for the thousands of crew members on more than 30 ships, only a small number of people can win rewards, and the rest of the people can only look at the gold coins, and their envy and desire grow day by day.

I just don’t know why, the games designed by Mr. Tang during this period are completely different from those in Port Royale. In Port Royale, Mr. Tang put more emphasis on luck and choices, even if he is a very old man, or someone who is out of touch with the world. Teenagers, even boudoirs and wives, all have a chance to win rewards.

But at sea, Mr. Tang's game is more about physical strength, swordsmanship, archery and even water skills. Those senior sailors who have been fighting with the sea are naturally overjoyed, but those businessmen who board the ship to try their luck , those puppies who hardly exercised were crying out.

Of course, no one cares about the wailing of the little dogs, and the winners are overjoyed with their heavy gold coins. Although there is no place to spend money on the sea, who would mind having more property?

What's more, Mr. Tang promised that all the winners on board will have the opportunity to participate in Mr. Tang's final game. Once selected in that game, they will be able to obtain wealth that ordinary people can't spend in their lifetime.

"Captain Sparrow, are you still used to life on the Intrepid?"

In the dark cabin, Jack was locked in a cell with an iron gate, because the cell on the Dreadnought was strong enough, and Jack didn't have to be shackled like he was in the merchant ship before, and even his daily utensils should not be used. In addition to lack of freedom, his life is better than that of ordinary sailors.

"I never thought I could stay on a warship for so long." Jack lay lazily on the bed, holding a bottle of rum in his hand, looking drunk: "I can't finish drinking every day." rum, if it wasn't for these iron bars, I think I could be here forever."

"Didn't you spend most of the time outside letting the wind go?" Tang Sen asked with a smile.

"Being held at gunpoint by four or five soldiers in chains isn't much of a release, Don."

He said helplessly, "You are simply the most cautious person I have ever met."

"Prudence is always an advantage, Captain Sparrow." Townsend moved closer and said, "You have been my helmsman for a month, and I haven't seen the shadow of the island of death. I hope Mr. Sparrow is not taking I'm going in circles at sea."

"I want to see the Black Pearl more than you, Don." Jack said helplessly, "Although I don't think you will fulfill your promise so easily and hand over the Black Pearl to me."

"Integrity is also an advantage. Don't worry, I won't break my promise." Tang Sen's tone softened: "The premise is that you have to give me an accurate time. According to the speed of the fleet, we will almost cross one-third of the Caribbean Sea." distance."

"Soon." Sparrow took a sip of his drink, "I have a hunch that the island of death is nearby, but I have to remind you, it's not that easy to get in there."

"The island of death is shrouded in storms all year round. The Intrepid and the Interceptor may be able to withstand those storms, but your merchant ships are obviously not strong enough."

"The storm will tear them apart and sink to the bottom of the sea forever with the crew on them."

Tang Sen frowned, recalling the scenes in the original movie, the route to the island of death was really rough.

It is not that the fleet has encountered storms on the sea this month. Although they are not too terrifying, under the control of experienced sailors, every time there is no danger, but Tang Sen has seen the moodiness of the sea. , naturally will not underestimate it.

"I think, I don't need to bring so many people." He said slowly: "The Intrepid is enough."

"The Intrepid is probably not strong enough to face the Black Pearl." Sparrow propped his upper body on his elbows and squinted at Tang Sen: "Although she has enough firepower, the Black Pearl is the best ship on the sea. And those undead traitors."

"The Black Pearl is the fastest ship, but far from the best, Captain Sparrow." Townsend reminded: "At least, he is no match for the Flying Dutchman."

At the mention of that name, Sparrow's face showed an awkward uneasiness.

"Are you more afraid of death or loss of freedom? Captain Sparrow?" Looking at his expression, Tang Sen threatened maliciously.

"I don't choose either!" Sparrow avoided looking.

"I hope you can say the same when facing Davy Jones." Tang Sen finally answered the previous question: "Don't worry about the undead on the Black Pearl. I have been preparing for so long just for this moment."

"Mr. Tang!" Tang Sen was interrupted by an anxious call, and a soldier quickly ran down the stairs on the deck: "There is a strong storm ahead, should we change the course?"

Tang Sen froze for a moment, and exchanged glances with Jack Sparrow.

"It seems that you are right, it is nearby."

A smile appeared on Townsend's face, "It's time for the wind, Captain Sparrow."
