Chapter 182: The Tuna

No need to aim, the bulky ship is the best target, the sailors hide in the cabin, reload, fire, reload, launch! All they had to do was mechanically and pray that death wouldn't come to them the next moment.

This is the most cruel song of iron fire and flesh, every moment there is a cabin hit, whoever breaks first and cannot support it, will sleep forever on this vast sea.

"Boom! Rumble!! ”

The cannon continued to vent his anger, and both ships began to become crumbling, and the hull of the ship could not stop shaking, and little Henry looked overwhelmed by the roar of the cannon, but was brought to the cannon roughly, and acted as a loader with a high mortality rate.

Sawdust splattered on his face, rubbing blood in streaks, and the smell of rotting wooden planks could not sober his buzzing head.

Little Henry witnessed a gunner and loader not far away being hit, and a huge solid ball knocked over their cannon, cutting the gunner's body in two.

The cannon pressed the loader underneath, a friend of little Henry's aboard friend, who struggled and stood still as he watched as large strands of blood poured out of his abdomen.

Little Henry only felt a tightness in his chest, his head was heavy, and he couldn't think of anything.

"Boom!"

The cannon continued, large swaths of the deck and side chords were pierced, and little Henry did not know how long it had been, only a cheer from above, and then the shelling gradually stopped.

And where little Henry is, fortunately a small number of locations that have not been hit.

Follow the crowd numbly up to the deck until they begin to sail on. Little Henry did not come out of the shadow of the war.

There were many casualties among the people on their ships. Sailors, who were already understaffed, were even busier. They sent off their dead companion, as well as the hapless first mate, who was grazed by a chain bullet and died instantly.

Little Henry mechanically ran around with the crowd, doing the physical work of laying down his hands.

After being kicked a few times, little Henry finally came to his senses and looked at the sailors who were mending the crumbling hull of the ship, and little Henry sighed.

Thinking about the rest of my life. Even the life of this life until death has to be on this boat, struggling with life and death every day, and a wave of despair wells up in little Henry's heart.

Sailing, dying, sailing, dying, never stopping!

No! Such a life! Only despair! Little Henry quietly tugged at the ropes, tying them tighter.

I'm leaving this life! Little Henry swore to himself that he heard the captain's characteristic heavy footsteps, yes! Captain! Little Henry's heart suddenly swelled up with an irrepressible thought. If I were the captain, if this ship was mine! Then I'll be able to drive to a place where no one can find me!

No one can find me! There are no enemies! Little Henry thought to himself. But alas, he is not a captain.

It was all empty talk, little Henry sighed in frustration, leaned against the eaves, he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the sky boredly.

Suddenly, a dark creature on the mast caught his eye, and on the beam of the sail lay a strange crow, and little Henry, who had come from the English countryside, could not tell that this vicious-looking crow was any different from the others, but his intuition told him that this bird should be considered a kind of crow.

It's really unlucky, little Henry secretly took a sip, and heard the old man say that things like crows often appear in the post-war wilderness, eating carrion, which also represents ominous.

Whoever sees the crow will be in trouble, and little Henry did not want to get into such trouble, and after glancing at the crow, he did not want to bother with it.

But at a glance, little Henry noticed that the crow's eyes were blood-red, different from ordinary crows, and it looked extremely terrifying.

He subconsciously wanted to throw these things out of his mind, but little Henry was a little unsure and had just ...... He seems to see interested? In this era, there is no such word as humanity, and little Henry can't describe what it feels like, he can only say that this is the feeling that the crow gives him, very much like a person!

What a terrible crow, where did it come from?

Where did it come from?! Little Henry suddenly thought of this creepy question, above the vast sea, and there were no large islands nearby, what about this crow...... Where did it come from?! Suddenly, little Henry's hairs stood upside down!

The sailors beside him noticed little Henry's frightened gaze, and when he looked down, he immediately saw the crow as well, and some of the sailors who came and went saw it, and then stopped, and gathered under the mast in twos and threes.

There are many seabirds near the land and islands, and they fly around the top of the ship every time they stop sailing, and these are old sailors, who have never seen any strong winds and waves, and will not be surprised by a crow.

But it was precisely because they were old sailors that they knew that there were no islands on this route at all! The voyage they were on was an important trade route, controlled by the declining Spanish Empire, which had been exploited countless times and used for countless years, and there were no islands that had not been discovered!

And they were pretty sure that no one would keep crows on this one, because the captain hated any birds.

The sailors were talking a lot below, some of them were shrewd, and felt that this would be a great opportunity, a crow, representing an island nearby, which may be a desert island, but it means wealth!

However, this kind of people are in the minority, and the vast majority of people in this era are still very ignorant, and more people think that this is a messenger sent by Satan, otherwise how could this crow appear alone in the vast sea.

The sailors were getting louder and louder below, and gradually there was a tendency to start moving.

Little Henry shrank far behind, he thought the crow's gaze was strange, he didn't want to get into trouble, he just wanted not to be noticed.

"What are you arguing about!"

A loud shout accompanied by a heavy stomping silenced everyone on deck, and the captain of the Tuna walked out of the captain's room with a furious face.

"What are you muttering about?!" He asked angrily, his thick and dirty fingers almost poked the face of the sailor next to him, he was in a very bad mood now, because of the pirate ship, he had lost at least a few gold coins, and there was nothing on the pirate ship!

"Woo...... Black...... Crow! The other sailor trembled at the raven on the beam, then shrank again.

The captain was stunned for a moment, looked up, and suddenly saw the crow that had caused trouble.

Frowning at him, Captain Hasentus silently calculated the route, there is no island where birds rest nearby, this crow...... (To be continued......)
