The auditorium was closed tightly.

Among the still warm corpses, Lorraine was chatting and laughing with the newly captured Baron Torrecias.

Talking and laughing is literal.

Although the captured heart was nervous and the captive was in a dilemma, with the social skills cultivated by the noble tradition, at least on the surface, they could still maintain their decent and reserved well.

In fact, not so long ago, Lorraine hadn't been as calm as it seems now, for no other reason. There were too many surprises tonight, and it was too many to be overwhelming.

First, the difficulty of the main task has greatly increased, and without warning, it has changed from simply blasting a militia camp to finding, controlling and destroying its core arms warehouse in a heavily guarded underground fortress.

Then Blackbeard jumped to the front again, instead of Lorraine, attracted the attention of the entire fortress.

Then there is Torrecias...

Encountering Torrecias in the bunker was the last and most important accident tonight, and its weight almost overwhelmed the entire operation.

Faced with such a hot potato, should I kill or stay?

The answer seems to be the only one.

Torrecias is a true Spanish nobleman, not the descendants of aristocrats whose names have a "German" in between, but the parents of a family, appointed by the emperor, and a genuine baron blessed by the cardinal.

Although the baron’s title is inferior, as long as he is a nobleman, he has incomparable divine privileges in the conventions of the white world.

Killing him means that Lorraine must take a huge political risk.

Because there is no impermeable wall in this world.

After the sea-grabbing operation is over, Lorraine and the Drake Chamber of Commerce as contingent mercenaries will soon be known to everyone. Even Lorraine, as a troop scout, sneaked into the fortress to preside over the sabotage operation. It's not too much to hide from someone who wants to trace it.

It is the duty of private merchants to accept the employment of their own military and fight bravely. This is the attitude of every maritime power in the same way.

Therefore, Drake’s participation in the capture of San Carlos will not destroy the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and any Spanish authorities. However, if Lorraine kills Torrecias, or leaves Torrecias in the explosion area to die alone, the nature of the incident Will produce a U-turn change.

A noble baron died in the bunker without dignity. Just this, justice was enough to turn into private anger, and Lorraine and his Drake Chamber of Commerce directly boarded the despicable list of the entire Spanish kingdom.

Having figured this out, Lorraine depressedly just wanted to look up to the sky and scream...

He turned his head desperately, worked hard, tried his best to think about the way to take the baron out of the civilian barracks alive before the blasting started, but the result was sad, and reason told Lorraine that before the thunder, what would happen? The seemingly safe method is fundamentally impossible to implement.

The militia barracks is Torrecias's nest.

Before the explosion, he brought him to the ground. He only had to yell out in the middle, and all of Lorraine's efforts in the past month had to be put to waste.

As for staying in the bunker and waiting for the explosion...

No one can guarantee how many locations of this underground barrier will collapse after a large-scale explosion. If it is buried alive by his own plan, Lorraine suspects that even the good-tempered Niald would not be willing to accept him as an idiot. soul.

It is not without the best of both worlds, such as controlling the scale of the explosion and turning the thunder-shaking thunder that was originally enough to overwhelm the entire civilian military camp into a small lightning that only blasted ordnance into ashes.

Without ordnance, the combat effectiveness of the civilian army must be sharply reduced, but it is only because of this that it is necessary to use means to preserve most of the gunpowder and independently store the artillery shells. In terms of combat readiness, the bunker fort, which lacks only propellant, has become a new birth of the British siege. Great threat.

Fortunately, Henna came up with a completely new idea.

This idea is no longer based on the counterattack ability of destroying or even destroying the bunker. She reduced the standard to "delay" and set a second tipping point at a channel relatively far away from the arsenal, and used explosives to exhaust the only channel in and out of the auditorium. It may collapse in many places.

One stone stirred up waves, and because of Hina's proposal, the siege plan was finally back on the right track that could be executed.

Barto, who has been dragging oil bottles all the way, finally began to reflect his value.

During the blasting process, he learned from Acharin, who was the most familiar with gunpowder among the people brought by Lorraine and the best player.

He is solely responsible for setting up the detonation point and deploying the detonation organ. It is estimated that the process will take about an hour.

Henna guarded the gate of the auditorium just in case, Lorraine had nothing to do, and simply chatted with Torrecias.

"Your Excellency, I heard that the Watergate Tower has been attacked." Lorraine casually started an impolite topic, "As the defense commander of the San Carlos Fortress, I thought you would definitely go over and preside over the overall situation in person. I know, I will meet you in the bunker."

"I didn't expect that I would meet a British scout at the barrier of the gospel." Torrecias shook his head helplessly. "Mr. Drake, I am already your captive. Please tell me the truth. The attack by the two majors was really not made by the British?"

"In fact, I saved Major Mara's life."

"Mala..." Torrecias blinked. "He is treason?"

Lorraine couldn't help laughing: "No, no, no, it is precisely the Spanish alias I entered San Carlos that protects him, not the British mercenary Lorraine Drake."

"So you deceived him."

"This is an accurate statement." Lorraine nodded in recognition, showing a look of memory. "I went to Major Mara that day. I originally wanted to use the political conflicts in San Carlos to persuade the major to destroy the city defense or attack the civilian army. In our next siege to build an advantage, we really never thought we would encounter an attack. So in protecting him, I dare not take credit for him..."

"You..." Torrecias pondered his words, "It sounds like you have had a head-on confrontation with the attacker, do you know who they are? Have they ever said who is behind them, even if they are deliberately misleading lies You can also..."

Lorraine raised his hand to interrupt him: "Your Excellency, do you remember your encirclement and suppression action against a big pirate on the San Juan River seven months ago?"

"That fly Thomas?"

"It's him. Fly Thomas, one of the pirate kings of the Caribbean. This time the attacker is another pirate king, Blackbeard. As far as I know, there seems to be some unknown connection between them."

"Involvement?" Torrecias's expression was strange, "Master and apprentice? Opponent? Or... lover?"

"They seem to be looking for the same thing, do you know what it is?"

Torrecias shook his head repeatedly: "How can I know what the pirates are looking for."

"That's weird. Since you don't know what the pirate kings are pursuing, why would you give up the obviously more valuable ships and properties, but choose the pirate king's personal items that should be worthless to a nobleman? Curiosity actually holds tens of thousands of pounds in your heart?"

"Malay him..."

"Yes, Major Mara told me a lot because of his dissatisfaction with you. How much do you think he knows, and how much does he say?"

Torrecias closed his mouth immediately.

After a moment of silence, Lorraine raised his legs with a smile: "Mr. Antonio de Torrecias, probably the too relaxed atmosphere made you forget something. I can probably remind you."

"You are the garrison commander and civic officer of the San Carlos Fortress, and I am a mercenary of the Royal Navy of England who is about to attack San Carlos."

"We are a hostile relationship. Although it is against the civilized world's respect for the blood of the nobles to hurt you or humiliate you, if you just kill you, it would be a great achievement to me."

"Life is precious, Your Excellency Commander."

Lorraine folded her fingers on her knees, with a gentle smile on her face.

"I have also received orthodox aristocratic education. I am not an extortionist. I will not tell you threats such as cutting your head off without telling the secret, but I am honestly thinking about it. Your value."

"For example, if your body was hung on the bell tower of the church at the moment of our army's attack, will the brave British soldiers encounter weaker resistance? If we want to win, will we pay less blood? "

"It’s tempting~lightnovelpub.net~Really, it’s just as tempting as the idea of ​​cutting your head off without telling the secret, and it saves me a lot of trouble. At least I don’t need a headache anymore. You have taken out the heavily guarded militia barracks, you say, right?"

"The Gospel Barrier of Santa Maria has a secret road that leads directly to the lake. It's not a hassle to take me out of the barracks alive. You don't need a headache at all!" Torrecias was pale and spoke quickly, "Also, Thomas Fly Looking for the legendary fountain of youth, it seems to be very close. His gains are recorded in his voyage diary in secret language, which is now kept in my manor on the island of Zapatra, including my notes on deciphering the secret language. The intelligence gathered by three generations of our family over 50 years is all there."

"God as proof, I became your captive!"

"I demand security and treatment that match my identity, and at the same time authorize you to control all my personal belongings, including the items in the San Carlos fortress and all the property on the island of Zapatra."

"You are standing by the pond of the mysterious fountain of youth, dear Mr. Drake. But in case I have a shortcoming, you may lose it..."
