Fight for hegemony from a desert island

Chapter 42 Fierce Battle

Great Zhou Empire, East China Sea, six pirate ships on Black Reef Island.

At this moment, Liu Cheng was hiding in the last ship, watching the action on the black reef island.

This was Liu Cheng's first time participating in the operation on Black Reef Island, and the smoothness of the operation this time was somewhat beyond Liu Cheng's expectations.

Originally, he thought that when the two sides met, there would definitely be a big battle, but in fact, no battle broke out at the beginning.

The six pirate ships on Black Reef Island surrounded the merchant ship, and when they announced their [Black Reef Island] name, the other party was immediately persuaded.

In fact, this is why they didn't have a base before, but they still had to swell their faces to pretend to be fat and get themselves a group number of [Black Reef Island]. With such a name, it can not only deter the opponent, but also It can also have the effect of stabilizing the opponent.

After all, anyone who has lived in the East China Sea will know that those who dare to use the name "island" are basically pirate groups with more than a dozen pirate ships, thousands of pirates, and their own bases at sea.

Generally, a single merchant ship would not make any resistance when encountering such a pirate group.

On the one hand, it is impossible to fight, and if you force it, you can only die. On the other hand, the pirates with bases have all developed to a certain scale.

Such a pirate group has begun to know how to abide by some rules in the East China Sea. When encountering such a pirate group, as long as there are no conflicts that are difficult to reconcile, they generally will not kill people easily.

After all, pirates are also human beings, and they also want to live. Once they kill people hard, they are the ones who are unlucky if merchant ships dare not go this way.

In this case, surrendering the ship's cargo obediently would be a better option than resisting.

It was just that the merchant ship on the other side seemed to have no intention of resisting, and the guards on the other side seemed to be negotiating the ransom with the Black Reef Island, Liu Cheng had no expression on his face, but felt a little regretful in his heart.

"I can't fight! This is a little bit boring!"

When he said this, Liu Cheng's face was slightly stunned, and he didn't realize that it was he who said it for a long time. When did he become so afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and became so indifferent to other people's lives? up?

In fact, it seems that after Liu Cheng killed Zhang Kui and entered Heijiao Island, his personality gradually changed.

It's just that this kind of change is very subtle, and Liu Cheng didn't notice it before. It was only now that Liu Cheng vaguely noticed his current change.

Of course, Liu Cheng has never been a good man, and he will not be afraid of his cold-bloodedness. He soon came back to his senses, and focused on the merchant ship instead of the change in his state of mind.

And just at this time, the situation on the merchant ship changed.

Because of the pirates killing him, the arrogance of the arrogant dude was immediately suppressed.

This guy didn't even think about encountering any pirates, and when he saw those pirates with shining sharp blades, he even looked a little frightened.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Peng could only sigh and suggest that he should negotiate with the pirates and pay a certain amount of ransom for the pirates to leave.

For Yuan Peng's proposal, that guy didn't intend to agree to it at first, but after looking at the vicious guys below, in the end that guy gave up, pinched his nose and admitted his bad luck, and let Yuan Peng go.

With his authorization, Yuan Peng quickly negotiated with Heijiao Island, and exchanged 30.00% of the supplies on board for the retreat of Heijiao Island.

Everything was perfect up to here, but soon something went wrong again, no matter this time the problem did not appear on the dude, but on the side of Black Reef Island.

Under normal circumstances, if it is really a pirate with a base, it will definitely not harm the people on the merchant ship at this time, but the pirates on Black Reef Island are hard to say.

The group of people on Black Reef Island is actually the lowest-level pirate group in the East China Sea.

They are different from those pirates who have grown to a certain size, have begun to consider sustainable development, and are preparing to develop maritime business routes. This group of people has no bottom line in doing things.

Originally, the two sides talked well, but when the pirates from Black Reef Island boarded the ship, the situation was different.

After this group of guys boarded the ship, they not only searched for the supplies of the merchant ship, but even touched the sailors of the merchant ship, kicking them over if they were not satisfied.

Such a situation made Yuan Peng vaguely feel that something was wrong, and he was vaguely vigilant, but the other party had already boarded the ship, and if he did something at this time, he would basically die forever, so he could only hope that these pirates would keep their promises and leave after taking the things. .

However, this idea was too beautiful, and the conflict between the two parties finally broke out.

The breaking point was that the one-eyed dragon Li Hu from the Black Reef Island fell in love with that fat-bellied dandy, um, to be precise, he should have taken a fancy to the things on that dandy.

"You, that's right, you fat pig, come out to me!" Li Hu waved the long knife in his hand, pointing at the dude's nose and shouted.

Li Hu's ferocious appearance frightened the dude so much that he subconsciously wanted to find Yuan Peng as a backer, but at this time Yuan Peng was negotiating with the two island owners and was not here at all.

"Master called you, you didn't hear that, did you?" In the trance of the dude, the one-eyed dragon had already come to him, and kicked the guy to the ground.

"You, what are you going to do? Do you know who I am?" Dandy trembled.

"I don't care who you are, hand over everything on you to me, or I will kill you alive!"

It has to be said that the dude was cowardly and timid, and he was taken aback when he was so frightened by Li Hu. Fortunately, there were some guards around him, and they immediately surrounded him when they saw his boss being bullied. come over.

At this time, Yuan Peng, who was negotiating with the two island owners on the side of the two island owners, also saw the situation here, his expression changed slightly, and he was about to go over to stop him, when the second island owner beside him comforted him: "Don't worry, don't worry, Li Tiger has a sense of proportion, so he won't make too much noise!"

Almost at the same time that the second island master said this, Li Hu over there directly slapped the face, not only stepped forward to kick the dude over, but also gave the guy a knife. I have to say, Li Hu slashed It was quite ruthless, and half of the dude's head was chopped off with one knife.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Peng on the side was dumbfounded, and the two island owners on the side were also dumbfounded.

But when Li Hu saw the blood, the scene suddenly became uncontrollable, and the pirates who had acted without scruples began to kill wildly.

And Yuan Peng's side also erupted. He pulled out the long knife from his waist and slashed at the big island owner.

"Yo, I didn't expect to fight in the end?"

Seeing this scene, Liu Cheng, who was behind the pirate ship, had a bright light in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, something even more unexpected happened to him...
