Even the captain of the Endeavour couldn't help but gasp, these two battleships were so miserable. The side sides were covered with patches of all sizes, the largest of which was three feet long, pitiful for the tragic situation of the day.

Behind Fernandez on the Dreadnought, Ma Le and Ma Jingbo held the hilt of the knife, and as long as Fernandez made the slightest move, they immediately killed him on the spot.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Fernandez's mouth, and now he could only obey the arrangements of these Changxing Army.

The antidote given to him, Fernández, had been secretly hiding, and he wanted to see if he could survive the pain.

But he only lasted less than two hours before taking the antidote and surrendering, and the pain was simply not something that people could bear. From that day on, he forgot that he had ever been a dry silk man.

The request of the Changxing Army for him to lead the fleet and infiltrate Manila was only taken aback. He didn't want to try that heart-rending pain again, even if it was to sell his soul to the devil.

Seeing the Endeavour approaching in front of him, he once thought about shouting a warning. But the sound of heavy breathing behind him told him not to talk nonsense as long as he wanted to live.

Between his own life and that of his companions, Fernandez decisively chose the former. A victor's smile on his face changed to that of a victor and beckoned to his companions who were close at hand.

The two ships soon came together, and Fernandez led fifty men onto the gangplank towards the Endeavour.

Although many of the soldiers led by Fernandez wore knightly helmets, the captain of the Endeavour did not suspect anything at all, and came up to hug Fernandez warmly.

In the midst of their embrace, a short hammer rested on the forehead of the captain of the Endeavour. The soldiers armed with short guns quickly took control of the uncommanded Endeavour, and all the sailors were escorted to the Fuku.

The Changxing Army captured the Endeavour without much effort, and Fernandez, who had betrayed his companion once, felt that there was nothing. It's nothing more than that bit of self-esteem at work, as long as you overcome the first time, there is nothing.

The fleet was reorganized and headed for Manila.

……

At the same time in Manila, an armed merchant ship that had escaped from Chicken Coop Bay brought back the defeat at Chicken Coop Bay. Their fleet was attacked by unknown forces at Chicken Coop Bay, and the entire fleet was wiped out, with only one boat escaping.

Judging from the opponent's combat strength, San Salvador City is also unlucky. In order to break the plan made by the Dutch people to dominate the Taiyuan Island, it failed.

Not only that, but also buried ten warships and numerous dried wax sailors and soldiers. Such a blow left a cloud over Manila, and the harbor was left with only two warships and one armed merchant ship powerless to retake Chicken Coop Bay.

When Manila Governor Sandy was at his most depressed, God brought him a glimmer of light. The galleon fleet, which had already set off, returned, although the fleet commander Castro claimed to have encountered powerful pirates and had to return to Manila for refuge.

However, Sandy still invited Castro, and at the banquet, Sandy carefully asked Castro to help him recapture Chicken Coop Bay.

Castro and Sandy are inextricably linked, for example, five tons of silver shipped to Manila this time are not on the accounts of the royal family.

If Sandy is unlucky, Castro will need to bribe the next governor of Manila, so Castro only hesitates to agree to Sandy's request.

Leaving behind only two huge galleons and the badly wounded Daring, he sent the remaining nine battleships straight to Chicken Coop Bay.

He had to move quickly, and if he didn't leave within a month, he would miss the monsoon. Sailing against the wind in the vast Pacific Ocean is no different from committing suicide.

Castro, who sent the battleship, waited for news of the Dreadnought and Endeavour in Manila City, and there was no movement for several days, and even the calm Castro couldn't sit still.

Could it be that the pirates are so powerful that the warships they sent were all wiped out by the other side?

……

Manila Bay is a natural haven and a gathering place for Ming merchants. At this time of year, there is an endless stream of sea adventures coming here, and they must always be on the lookout for pirates and storms, and many of them never set foot back in the land of the Ming Dynasty.

But the temptation of silver was so great that even if it was dangerous, there were still maritime merchants who ventured to come. Because raw silk, porcelain, and tea, which were worthless in the Ming Dynasty, could be exchanged for a large amount of silver here, this kind of huge profit was enough to make any merchant crazy.

At the entrance to Manila Bay, a strange flotilla is slowly moving forward. At the foreground were three tall Galen warships, followed by a dozen Chinese-style Fu ships.

On the largest killer whale battleship in the fleet, Zhang Huan said to Fernandez with a blank face: "Lord Baron! As long as you can help the Changxing army take Manila, the commander will give you a fiefdom that is bigger than your hometown. Then you can take your family to the East and continue to be your lord. Maybe you can still be an earl, a marquis, and a duke is not impossible, what do you think? ”

"Your Excellency, Commander! Fernandez will do his best to serve you and your army, please rest assured that I will vouch for my family's honor and will give my loyalty! Fernández saluted.

Now he has no way to retreat, so he can only follow the Changxing Army to the black. As soon as he was caught by the Dry Wax Man, he would be sent to the gallows for treason.

The flotilla flying the flag of dried silk sailed all the way unimpeded and sailed directly into Manila Bay. No sooner had they entered Manila Bay than they were spotted by the Dry Wax Man on the battery.

Seeing the triumphant return of his own fleet, the horn sounded on the fort, and the horn sounded throughout Manila Bay, and not only the merchants trading in the bazaar discovered the fleet, but even Castro in the city went to the city to watch.

The return of the Dreadnought would give him a basic judgment of the pirate's strength, at least to determine if it would be safe to return to the New World.

When Zhang Huan entered Manila Bay, he noticed that the port was busy, and there were ships leaning on the port all the time, constantly unloading their cargo.

From the style of the ships, Zhang Huan can see that most of them are maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and there are also a small number of Zhuyin ships of the Japanese Kingdom.

There were almost no warships of the Dry Silk, except for two extraordinarily tall galleons moored at separate berths. There seemed to be a shadow of a battleship in the dock in the distance, a bit like a battleship under repair.

Their arrival caused everyone to stop what they were doing and look this way. There were also soldiers who commanded the natives to clear the special berths for the warships, and many people gathered at the docks to wait for the docking of more than a dozen lucky ships.

The arrival of ships meant business opportunities for their merchants.
