"Wind from southwest, five knots, stroke! Target Bridgetown, Golden Deer, anchor!"

On April 24, 1779, the wind was beautiful and sunny, and the Golden Deer, which became the flagship of Lorraine again, hung the pure white **** flag. It was loaded with elite sailors and slowly drove away from the Lusi fishing port, under the order of Lorraine. Turn your head down, set sail, and move forward through the waves.

For the first time, Lorraine truly felt the wonder of playing the two corners. He had only returned to Lucy for more than ten days. He had been fighting on the lake of Pontchartrain not long ago, and his memory was still fresh... …

　　Standing on the bow of the Golden Deer, he still felt that it had been a long time.

　　 Sure enough, Edward Kenway's battle was Edward's. Lorraine Drake has not commanded a ship on the sea for more than two months. Such a long trimming is almost unthinkable for a seaman.

　　 He seemed to hear the arduous rubbing sound of every inch of his body's joints. The sea breeze added new oil to them. The joints twisted with the waves. He urgently needed a practical adventure to make them break in again and rejuvenate.

　　It is worth celebrating that Nelson has prepared [　] for his adventure, in Bridgetown, in Barbados, in the Windward Islands.

　　 Now it is the focal point of the Caribbean Sea, where British, French, and Dutch warships gathered, with Barbados and Martinique as fulcrums, covering the entire windward islands waters.

　　 Lorraine smelled the smell of the war, and different from the previous battles, this was a real battle, from the world's first class to the world's strongest to launch a formal challenge.

　　 "It's really exciting..."

The slim white ears stepped on the barrier and jumped onto Lorraine’s shoulders, meowed, licked Lorraine’s face with a warm little tongue, and then lay down contentedly, curled up into a ball, and squinted his eyes. Take a nap.

　　 Henna and Noya appeared behind the white ears with a smile.

　　 "White Ears don't like Edward." Henna poked White Ears's head, "The lipstick that adjusts the skin color has a strange smell, which covers your taste."

　　 Lorraine shrugged noncommittal: "Jenny and McCarthy like it very much. On Edward's shoulder, they don't have to worry about white ears."

　　 "It's a pity that Carmen is still in New Orleans, and Jenny and McCarthy don't want to leave her."

　　 "It is right to keep her. The next thing is not her use. It is more valuable for her to stay in New Orleans."

　　 Noya blinked curiously big eyes: "Captain, do you know what we are going to do?"

　　 "Although the intelligence is not complete, but Lieutenant Colonel Nelson invited him to participate in the war as a mercenary 80%. As for combat missions, it is not important. Someone will always tell us."

　　 "Participate in the war?" Noah's face whitened, "Are you with the regular navy?"

"I don't know." Lorraine narrowed his mouth helplessly. "After all, the times are different. In the Francis era, privateers are the backbone of the navy. Even if they face the regular navy, they are not at a disadvantage. Now...the third-tier ship is up. Another world, with firepower like the Golden Deer, doesn’t even have the qualifications to join the battle."

　　 "Three levels up?"

"There are 74 third-tier ships, second-level ships, 110 first-level ships, and the main battle gun bays are 32 pounds. Of course, the New World does not have first-level ships. The most powerful ones are the cutting-edge third-tier ships. The most artillery, the largest hull is Sir Parker’s flagship, the Duke of Wales."

　　 Noya nodded as if understanding, making Lorraine chuckle.

　　 "Don't worry, mercenaries have the right to review and choose their combat missions. I won't let us be cannon fodder."

"Um!"

　　……

　　 Although the seamen are divided into two groups, the combat effectiveness of the Golden Deer has not been greatly affected, thanks to the addition of Bell and the elite of the sailors.

In this voyage, the Golden Deer is fully staffed. There are 250 sailors on the ship, 20 of whom are old people who have followed Lorraine since the era of the Butterfly Flower, and 50 are elites selected from England who have driven the Golden Deer to conquer the high waves. Anxious high-latitude route in the Atlantic Ocean.

　　 Among the remaining 180 people, 106 have served in the navy, with a minimum of two years of service, and no record of misdeeds. The last 74 people are strong and healthy young people between the ages of these years and are the most suitable candidates for internships.

　　 This kind of spindle-shaped personnel structure that balances trust, ability, and motivation is mediocre and stable. It blasts the old Leonard's style of work everywhere. It is heavy and tough, which Lorraine likes.

　　 As for the seafarers, they have performed several jobs as always.

　　 On the ship's side, the newly added Bell is heavily used. He is the helmsman and the second mate, responsible for the ship command.

　　Henna presides over the work of observation and first officer. Noah and Daniel have the same functions, and are still in charge of divination and medical treatment. Pierce downgrades sailing and kitchen, and Acharin is in charge of the third officer.

　　 On the battle side, Acharin’s guns, Bell at the helm of the sails, Henna and Noya at the helm, Pierce the hunters, and Daniel the logistics.

　　 Coupled with Lorraine's overview of all the affairs on both sides, checking for omissions and filling vacancies, even if it is not enough, it can still ensure sufficient smoothness in operation.

　　 This is all thanks to Bell.

This tired guy is not inferior to Lorraine in terms of skills, and he is in the same line as Lorraine in inheritance. In the case of insufficient manpower, he has almost undertaken all the work of Henna and nearly half of Karen and Katerina. The functions of Lorraine appear indispensable and special right after they board the ship, and they complement Lorraine.

　　 His performance convinced Acharin and Pierce, and also confirmed the reason Lorraine attaches importance to him.

　　 Henna is the only one who is worried about this.

　　Apart from Lorraine and Chuck, she knows Bell’s situation best, because Lorraine hardly hides anything from her.

　　 is also because of this~lightnovelpub.net~ When the white ears are greasy and crooked enough, Noya hugs it back to the cabin, Henna once again stood next to Lorraine.

　　From the position of the bow, you can clearly see the light of Bell behind the steering wheel...

　　 "Lorraine."

"Um?"

　　 "Trial records, can you conceal it?"

　　 Lorraine smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't care if Bell and Shaq Drake turn against each other. It's just that Bell is much more stubborn than he looks. If this matter is let him know, I don't know how he will react."

　　 "But the paper won't stop the fire."

"It can't be wrapped, so those papers are now ashes of fire." Lorrain scratched his nose. "There are three copies of the court record. Two copies have disappeared, and one copy will be left before we return to New Orleans. Disappeared. Although the Navy is corrupt, their execution power has always been trustworthy."

　　 "What if there are sequelae?"

　　 "It's difficult to repeat. Legally speaking, the original has the value of reversal, and the clerk's archive records can only be referenced. That is to say, once the three originals are burned, Bell is equivalent to being secretly pardoned."

　　 "So, are you going to be when this never happened?"

　　 "I will give Bell a chance to retaliate. When the retaliation is effective, I may tell him to open this knot."

　　 "Is this the best choice?"

　　 "What is the best..." Lorraine shook his head, "It's just taking advantage of the trend. Shaq...what the **** is thinking about!"
