Chapter 184 The Raven of Hell
"What the hell are these pirates trying to do?"

Just when Rogers and Chamberlain were puzzled by the pirates' actions, at this moment, Hornigold, who was on board one of the third-tier battleships "Nottingham", saw the way.

Henigold, who was once the founder of the Pirate Republic and served as the leader of the pirates, couldn't see that this was the pack of wolves tactics used by pirates to hunt large merchant fleets? !
Under normal circumstances, the pirates would first send out scout ships to follow the fleet, and then gather enough ships to drive them away, thus locking on the weakest target among them, and finally besieging and attacking them!
That said, on the horizon, more pirate ships...

However, before he had time to remind Rogers and Chamberlain, the sudden change happened!

The few brigs that disappeared just now reappeared on the vast sea.

Not only that, they also brought back several well-organized small fleets!
Each pirate fleet is composed of five or six extremely flexible brigantines.

And the front of one of the largest fleets is Edward Kenway's Jackdaw!

Standing at the stern of the boat, arms folded, the black pirate cloak fluttering in the wind, Edward's eyes shone eagerly.

As Blackbeard's deputy and the first general of the military department, Edward has already made a name for himself in the Caribbean.

Especially his personal combat ability, so that the pirates admired him, and gave him a very second nickname - Hell's Raven!
As the name suggests, Edward is like a ruthless jackdaw, sending all the enemies into hell!

When hearing this nickname for the first time, Rorschach almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

For a period of time afterwards, every time Rorschach saw Edward, he would tease him and call him "The Crow of Hell"

Although it was a bit embarrassing at first.However, Edward is very satisfied with this nickname.

A nickname, for a pirate, was a sort of badge of honor.

Compared with nicknames such as Blackbeard, Vulture, and Lame Billy, the Raven of Hell is simply too majestic!

And this time, it was Edward Kenway, the "Raven of Hell", who was the commander of the raid on the British fleet.

With the development of the Pirate Republic, Edward also became rich.

Now, his desire for money is much weaker than when he first went to sea.

Instead, there is a strong desire for honor and fame.

He wants to be honored, to be famous, and even to spread his fame across the sea.

Best to reach my wife in Bristol and her two parents who look down on her!

That way, one day, he could go back and say in front of his wife and her snobby parents:
You used to ignore me, but now you can't afford me!

Moreover, for Edward, the Pirate Republic is his safe haven and his second home.

Here are his companions and friends, his reputation, and his status.

In order to protect everything he cherishes, he is willing to do anything!

Gazing at the huge British fleet in front of him like a falcon, there was no trace of fear in Edward's eyes, only a strong fighting spirit!
Look, Caroline!
I'll prove it to you that I, Edward Kenway, am no ordinary man.

The sea is my stage!
Thinking of this in his heart, he suddenly raised his right hand, and said to the black quartermaster next to him in a deep voice:
"Ade, send a semaphore to the other captains, let's go!"

"Yes, Captain!"

. . .

Meanwhile, aboard the Bristol.

Seeing the pirate ships appearing on the sea in all directions, vaguely surrounding the entire British fleet, Rogers asked the doubt in his heart again:

"What the hell are they trying to do?!"

Soon, he got the answer.

For, the pirates responded with a loud roar of cannon fire!

Boom boom boom!
Accompanied by the sound of cannons, all the pirate fleets around the fleet began to attack the nearby British warships, as if agreed a long time ago!

Listening to the deafening gunfire coming from his ears, Rogers' heart began to shake.

What he never expected was that even though the news of the pardon order had spread to every sea area in the entire new world, the pirates made a decision without even thinking about it.

Yes, from the moment the pirates fired cannonballs at them, these pirates had already refused the king's pardon.

Not only that, but they seem to be planning to go to war with Britain? !

How dare they? !

As soon as this absurd and incomprehensible idea appeared in Rogers' mind, Brigadier General Chamberlain shouted angrily:

"How dare these bugs?!"

"They are looking for their own death!"

It wasn't until this moment that Rogers finally came to his senses and understood what he had done wrong.

He underestimated Rorschach's influence on the Pirate Republic!

Also underestimated the pirates' sense of belonging to the Pirate Republic! !

It even underestimated the pirates' emphasis on freedom! ! !
While Rogers was in a daze, Brigadier General Chamberlain, who had rich combat experience, was very excited.

He was originally sent by Congress to restrain Rogers, and he was also burdened with a secret order from the king.

That is, once the recruitment situation is not optimistic, or if the pirates do something, he will immediately command the fleet and wipe out all the pirates!

But now the pirates took the initiative to attack, just in line with his wishes.

Chamberlain also has his own calculations.

Originally, if the pirates obediently accepted the pardon, it would be Rogers' credit.

Rogers ate the meat, and at most he drank the soup.

However, now the pirates refuse the pardon and choose to attack the British fleet, which is another way to deal with it.

As long as he personally wiped out these pirates and regained Nassau, most of the credit will be his.

This credit is enough for him to go up a few levels, and even replace Rogers as the Governor of the Bahamas!

At the thought of becoming an official, Brigadier General Chamberlain's vicissitudes of eyes flashed a hint of greed:
"Governor Rogers, it seems that these pirates do not intend to accept His Majesty's gift. If so, let them see the horror of the Royal Fleet!"

After all, he ignored Rogers who was stunned, reached out to greet the adjutant, and ordered the fleet to fight back!
After receiving the semaphore from the flagship, the frigates at the outermost edge of the fleet opened their artillery decks one after another, aiming their dark muzzles at the petite sailing ships.

The navies on the frigate couldn't wait to slap these annoying flies to death in front of them.

The commanders on the battleship drew out the long swords around their waists one after another, and let out a roar of war:

"Fire!!!"
