The auditorium was closed with the door.

Among the piles of warm bodies, Lorraine was chatting and laughing with the newly captured Baron Torresias.

Talk and laughter literally means.

Although the captured one was nervous and the one who captured one was in a dilemma, they could still be very decent and implicit in conjunction with the social skills taught by the aristocratic traditions.

In fact, not long ago, Lorraine was not as calm as she seems now. There were no other reasons. There were too many surprises tonight, which made people overwhelmed.

First, the difficulty of the main task was greatly improved, and without any warning, it went from simply blasting a militia battalion to finding it in a heavily guarded underground fortress, controlling and destroying its core arms warehouse.

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

Then there is Torresias...

Meeting Torresias in the bunker was the last and most important accident tonight. Its weight almost crushed the entire action.

Faced with such a hot potato, should we kill or keep?

The answer seems to be the only one.

Torresias is a genuine Spanish nobleman, not descendants of the nobleman with the word "De" in the middle of his name, but the parents of a family, appointed by the emperor and blessed by the cardinal.

Although the baron's title is below, as long as he is a noble, he has unparalleled divine privileges in the conventions of the white world.

Killing him means Lorraine must take huge political risks.

Because there is no airtight wall in this world.

After the sea-taking operation was over, the news that Lorraine and the Drake Chamber of Commerce were soon known to everyone. Even the information that Lorraine, as a military scout, sneaked into the fortress sabotage operation was not too concealed by the intent.

It is the obligation of privateers in this era to accept the employment of the country's military and fight bravely, and every maritime power has the same attitude.

Therefore, Drake's participation in capturing San Carlos will not undermine the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and any Spanish authorities. However, if Lorraine kills Torrescias, or leaves Torrescias alone in the explosion area and waits for death, the nature of the incident will undergo a turnaround change.

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

After figuring this out, Lorraine was depressed and wanted to whistle to the sky...

He turned his mind desperately, worked hard, and tried his best to think about the way to bring the baron out of the civilian camp before the explosion began, but the result was sad, and reason told Lorraine that before the thunder exploded, no seemingly safe method could be actually implemented.

The military barracks are Torrescias's nest.

Before the explosion, he took him to the ground. He only shouted halfway through the passage. Lorraine's efforts in the past month had to be exhausted.

As for staying in the bunker waiting for the explosion to happen...

No one can guarantee how many positions this underground barrier will collapse in overall after a large-scale explosion. If it is buried alive by his own plan, Lorraine suspects that even the good-tempered Neald would not be willing to take in the soul of his idiot.

There is no way to have the best of both worlds, such as controlling the scale of the explosion and turning the shocking thunder that was originally enough to destroy the entire civilian camp into a small lightning that only knocked the armies into ashes.

Without the weapons, the combat effectiveness of the civilian army will definitely be sharply reduced. However, in this way, it is necessary to use means to preserve most of the gunpowder and store shells independently. The bunker turrets that lack only fire medicine in combat readiness have become a huge threat to the British army's new siege.

Fortunately, Henna proposed a new idea.

This idea is no longer based on destroying or even destroying the counterattack ability. She lowered the standard to "delay" and set a second detonation point at the passage relatively far away from the arsenal, using explosives to blow up as much of the only passage into and out of the auditorium as possible.

A stone caused a thousand waves, because of Henna's proposal, the siege plan finally returned to the right track that can be implemented.

Barto, who has been working all the way, finally began to reflect his value.

In the Blasting Department, he learned from Yacharin, who was the most familiar and playful person among the people Lorraine brought.

He is fully responsible for setting up detonation points and laying out detonation mechanisms, and the process is expected to take about an hour.

Henna was guarding the auditorium gate and was careful not to be careful. Lorraine was idle and simply started chatting with Torresias.

"His Excellency Baron, I heard that the Watergate Tower was attacked." Lorraine casually put out a topic that was not polite. "As the defensive commander of the Fortress of San Carlos, I thought you would definitely go over to the main situation in person, but who knew that you would actually meet you in the bunker."

"I didn't expect that I would meet the British scouts in the Gospel Barrier." Torresias shook his head helplessly, "Mr. Drake, I am already your prisoner. Please tell me the truth. The attack on the two majors was really not the British?"

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

"Mara..." Torresias blinked, "Has he treason?"

Lorraine couldn't help laughing: "No, no, no, to be precise, the Spanish pseudonym I entered San Carlos, not the British mercenary Lorraine Drake."

"So you deceived him."

"This is the exact remark." Lorraine nodded in recognition, showing a look of memories, "I went to find Major Mara that day. I originally wanted to take advantage of the political contradictions of San Carlos to lobby the major to destroy the city defense or attack the civilian army, and to establish an advantage for our next siege. I really didn't expect to encounter an attack. So in protecting him, I dare not take credit..."

"You..." Torresias pondered the words, "It sounds like you had a head-on confrontation with the attackers. Do you know their identity? Have they ever said who is behind them? Even if it is intentionally misleading lies..."

Lorraine raised her hand and interrupted him: "Hisser Baron, do you remember the encirclement and suppression of a great pirate on the San Juan River seven months ago?"

"Thomas, that fly?"

"It's him. Thomas, the fly, one of the pirate kings in the Caribbean. The attacker this time was another pirate king, Blackbeard. As far as I know, there seemed to be some unknown involvement between them."

"Implicit?" Torrescias' expression was strange, "Master-apprentice? Opponent? Or... Lovers?"

"They seem to be chasing the same thing, do you know what that is?"

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

"That's strange. Since you don't know the pursuit of the pirate kings, why did you give up obviously more valuable ships and property, but choose the personal belongings of the pirate king who should be worthless to a noble? Is the mere curiosity actually worth tens of thousands of pounds in your heart?"

"Malata..."

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

Torresias immediately shut his mouth.

After a moment of silence, Lorraine smiled and crossed her legs: "Mr. Antonio de Torrescias, it is probably because the atmosphere is too loose that makes you forget something, I can probably remind you."

"You are the commander-in-chief of the San Carlos Fortress and the commander of the civilian army, and I am a mercenary of the Royal English Navy who is about to launch an attack on San Carlos."

"We are hostile. Although it is against the respect of the noble blood of the civilized world, if we just kill you, it will be a great achievement for me."

"Life is precious, Lord Commander."

Lorraine folded her fingers on her knees and smiled warmly like spring breeze and rain on her face.

"I have also been educated by orthodox aristocrats, not a bandit who can extort people. I will not tell you threats such as cutting off your head without telling the secret, but I am indeed considering your value."

"For example, if your body was hung onto the bell tower of the church at the moment of our siege, would the brave British soldiers encounter less resistance? Will we pay less blood if we want to win?"

"This is very tempting. It's really as tempting as the idea of ​​cutting off your head without telling the secret, and it can save me a lot of trouble. At least I don't need a headache anymore. How can I bring you alive out of the heavily guarded civilian military barracks? You said, right?"

"The barrier of the Gospel of Santa Maria has a secret passage leading directly to the lakeside. It is not troublesome to take me out of the barracks alive, and you don't need any headache at all!" Torresias's face was pale and spoke quickly. "Also, Thomas, the fly, seems to be very close to finding the legendary spring of youth. His harvest is recorded in secret words in his sailing diary, which is now collected in my manor on Zapatra Island, including my notes on cracking the secret language and the intelligence collected by three generations of our family over fifty years. They are all there."

"God proves that I am your captive!"

“I request security and treatment to match my identity, and also authorize you to control all my personal belongings, including the items in the Fortress of San Carlos and all property on the island of Zapatra.”
