At one o'clock in the morning on April 29, 1780, Lorraine, driving a small fishing boat, finally found the San Carlos quietly anchored on the lake.

She acted very cautiously, even if there were no known opponents on the lake, strict lighting control was still implemented.

Of course, this is also related to the smooth development of the battle on the shore, and there is no need for naval gun support from the lake according to the original plan.

This shows Nelson's profound commanding skills and strong skills.

When Lorraine called out Nelson's name, they had not yet joined the people on board.

Henna and Lorraine stood side by side on the bow of the ship. At first hearing the name, they were puzzled: "Why do you think Nelson will be on board? He is the commander-in-chief of today's operation, and he should be commanding the army on the shore."

"It must be him." Lorraine replied with a smile, "Daniel is a rigid and proud London gentleman. No matter whether he needs support on land, he will not change the established battle plan without authorization. Leif did not expect such a delicate light control. Order. To be honest, I doubt that if the ship is handed over to him, he will directly order the sailor to ship it ashore, because this will make it easier for him to participate in the war."

"No one else?"

"Who else is there now? Is Nelson the loyal captain of the guard? Don’t forget, this ship is almost all our sailors, and the captain of Nelson’s guard cannot control this ship. Neither Daniel nor Leif will recognize him. Order."

Henna was only persuaded. But it was just persuasion, because she just wanted to talk to Lorraine, and it didn't matter to her who commanded the ship.

Barto shook the wind lantern and sent out a light signal representing Lorraine’s identity. The short and long, silent ship responded with the highest level of light. The length was long and short. He told Lorrain the first time that the ship’s commander was Nelson. Myself.

On the deck, Nelson gave Lorraine the warmest hug.

"I always underestimate you, Drake, except for faith, you are almost perfect."

"The long-lost standard Puritan speech..." Lorraine replied heartily, "It seems that you are not a colonel disguised as a Spaniard."

"I'm a real man, even if I go through Spain, I never want to find a handsome young officer like me."

"As you are my employer, I compliment you."

The two of them laughed and walked to the side of the ship together, looking side by side at the noisy battlefield not far away.

"How is the battle?" Lorraine asked.

"Mr. Major is worth relying on as much as you." Nelson pointed to the most blazing part of the fire, and Lorraine recognized that it should be the civilian army barracks and the commander's residence of Torresias, directly above the barrier of the gospel of Santa Maria. Ten minutes ago, he completely defeated his opponent's defense line, and almost two companies of Spaniards routed before regaining a foothold in this area."

"Because there is their bunker there, it's large and strong."

"A well-guarded bunker?" Nelson blinked. "If I remember correctly, you didn't seem to mention this trouble in your previous letter."

"I promise I didn't mean it. After all, I learned the news only a few hours earlier than you, and there were four guns pointed at my head at that time."

"Four guns?"

"Four guns, well maintained and loaded with lead bullets."

Nelson smiled narrowly: "It sounds like your life alone in a civilized world is no easier than ours."

"Who knows?" Lorraine shrugged indifferently. "Colonel, although I destroyed the arsenal at the core of the bunker and cut off most of their gunpowder, the Spaniards did not completely lose the power to fight back. Just me. I know that there is gunpowder in the Watergate Tower and the city wall fort. There is no shortage of grenadiers in the tower and the sailors stranded on the shore. The bunker also has a strong fort with no dead ends."

"You mean, we can give our army some help?"

"Take advantage of the Spaniards' time to destroy the shore defense fort near the lakeside dock, we can make the San Carlos play a greater role."

Nelson accepted Lorraine's suggestion.

The San Carlos quickly took action, canceled the light control, and raised anchor to the dock.

When the ship started, Nelson saw Barto, one-armed, carrying a gun, and carrying two luxuriously dressed Spanish prisoners across the deck.

He was puzzled for a while: "Drake, four guns are pointed at his head, do you have time to receive prisoners?"

"As long as it is a valuable prisoner, I will always be able to make time." Lorraine explained the specific location and structure of the fort on the lakeshore to the temporary artillery officer, and spared time to respond to Nelson's words, "There is another one you haven't had time for. Knowing the minor trouble, the original plan for the change of the fortress commander on May 5 has been advanced. The ceremony is scheduled to be carried out on May 1. Tomorrow, the Governor of Nicaragua and the Admiral of the Grenada garrison will come together."

"It's no accident that their ship will be a Tier 5 ship. As for the military strength of Grenada... I don't need to say more, right?"

"No need." Nelson's face was a little ugly, "A grenadier regiment, a line corps, four gunboats, more than 120 guns. If they arrive tomorrow, we won't even be able to establish a basic line of defense..."

"That's why I need the assistance of those two." Lorrain drew a big cross on the coastal defense map, and did not look up. "The one with the beautiful beard is the current fortress commander of San Carlos and the commander-in-chief of the civilian army. Baron Torrecias, and the bearded man is Major Mara, the nephew of Colonel Mara, the admiral of the Grenada garrison formation."

"In my opinion, Major Mara is more valuable than the Baron, but the Baron was sent to us by himself, or the provider of the important news just now. I can't favor each other because of my reasons."

"In a sneak operation, you actually captured two of the three military commanders in the fortress..." Nelson rolled his eyes at hearing, "And listen to what you mean, you are going to use..."

"alarm!"

Before Nelson's words were finished, a warning blew from the observation deck.

"An unknown ship was quickly approaching at two o'clock! Large Slope ship, with traces of modification, no signs, no communications... 1.8 kilometers away."

Lorraine and Nelson hurriedly ran to the starboard side to look, and saw that in the night, a wave-breaking Slup ship approached quickly with its sails.

The wind tonight is not too big~lightnovelpub.net~ But with the advantages of excellent fluid design and lightness of the small boat, she still reached a relative speed of more than four knots, and she is still speeding up, which can be discerned with the naked eye.

The flag was raised from her mast!

It was a pirate flag, and in the middle of the black flag there was a bright blood-like bottom spot, and a skull with a beard was printed on the bottom spot.

The skull wears a peculiar three-cornered hat, and four fuse sticks out from the brim of the hat. Following the roll of the flag, the skeleton is twisting its body like a snake.

The observation sailor gave the most straightforward explanation in due course.

"Unidentified Slup raises the flag. It has been confirmed that it is the Caribbean Blackbeard Pirates! It's Edward V Blackbeard, Wilfer the Arson!"

"The pirate ship has a distance of 1.4 kilometers, first-level combat readiness, and an enemy attack!"
