Chapter 659 - 16: Pursuit!
"Standing quite far away." Su Changxing glanced back at Weilian, who almost ran below the deck.
However, he’s not lacking in combat power; if by any chance he dies, it would be a substantial loss for them.
This old captain is hard to find.
Under Weilian’s organization, not only did their Recovery not flee, but it charged toward the Pirate Ship.
Seeing this scene, the pirates on the Pirate Ship were dumbfounded. They had never seen a cargo ship not fleeing but actually heading toward them.
Isn’t this just like sending a meat bun to a dog, never to return?
A bald pirate laughed heartily, "These people are foolish, boss, looks like we can make a big haul."
The pirate boss standing at the bow of the ship, seeing this scene, frowned tightly and felt a bit uneasy, "This ship seems unusual, could it be a disguised warship specifically sent to hunt us down?"
They lived overseas, with delayed information and were unaware of the Imperial Tower coup.
Even as they got close, the cargo ship showed no sign of slowing down, the pirate boss panicked, "This damn thing is definitely not a cargo ship, turn around and let’s go."
He’s a very decisive person, acting without hesitation in critical moments, unwilling to sacrifice his life for a small gain.
Pirates live by their intuition, able to sense danger.
Surely, this ship is equipped with well-armed navy personnel, there might even be cannons on the deck, not something they can withstand.
The power disparity between them is enormous!
Before the Recovery reached them, the Pirate Ship slowly turned around, hoisting the skull-headed sails, fleeing desperately.
Seeing this, Weilian stroked the beard on his chin, puzzled. Even with his rich experience, he couldn’t fathom why the opponent was fleeing, "We don’t have many people, nor any weapons. Why are they running?"
Yet, seeing them flee, he got even more excited, ordering to fill up with whale oil, urging the cargo ship to move at full speed.
The full-speed cargo ship is not slow, at least not something a small Pirate Ship can match.
The Pirate Ship’s boss saw the cargo ship gradually catching up. His expression grew more serious, "Indeed, they are after us. Brothers, increase firepower, we mustn’t let them catch up."
Meanwhile,
Su Changxing was also puzzled, wondering why the opponent was fleeing. Could it be they recognized his strength? Logically speaking, they shouldn’t be afraid with just so few people on their ship.
What’s really going wrong?
Soon, he reached an important conclusion: there are players on the Pirate Ship who recognized his strength.
Yes, it has to be like this.
Su Changxing became more convinced of his guess, shouting to Weilian, "We must catch up, it’s a big fish."
"Alright, we’ll definitely catch up," Weilian confidently replied.
At this moment, their roles reversed; they were the pirates, while the opponent was now the cargo ship waiting to be looted, hopelessly fleeing.
Nobody is born a pirate, and no one isn’t. Who wouldn’t know how to loot? It’s human nature.
Due to the oppression of the aura, the crew on the ship rolled up their sleeves, ready for a fight.
Killing pirates is something to boast about; a sailor who has killed a pirate can easily have their salary double.
Thus, the chase on the sea continued for about half an hour.
As they were about to catch up, the pirates became desperate, grabbing the Big Horn and shouted, "If you keep chasing, don’t blame us for being rude. We’ll let you go, but you’re pressing your luck."
"Leave now, or we’ll kill all the men and capture all the women."
A highly threatening statement.
But the cargo ship didn’t change speed at all, with large amounts of white smoke billowing from the chimney.
The two ships, one large and one small, collided with a loud crash.
At this moment, the pirate boss realized there were no navy personnel on this cargo ship but just a few crew members, not even many.
He instantly felt humiliated. As dignified pirates, they were being chased around by a cargo ship, something their counterparts would laugh at.
"Go, kill them all, don’t leave any, kill them all." The angry pirate boss shouted with the Big Horn.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a bullet pierced through the darkness, leaving a bullet hole on his forehead. His body went limp, falling into the sea.
The chaos was rampant; few pirates noticed their boss being killed, hooking locks, one by one climbing onto the cargo ship.
Hundreds of pirates climbed onto the cargo ship, only to be driven back by intense gunfire within seconds.
Su Changxing played the Firearms like a machine gun, his firepower alone suppressing these pirates, leaving everyone stunned.
Unable to endure, the pirates jumped one by one into the water, climbing back onto the Pirate Ship.
At this moment, however, the crew of the cargo ship jumped onto the Pirate Ship, cutting off their retreat and engaging in close combat.
With Su Changxing’s assistance, the battle ended quickly, killing over half of the more than two hundred pirates, with a few captured.
Su Changxing also discovered a serious problem: there were no players among these pirates, just a pure group of pirates.
"Seems like a waste of effort." He disdainfully wiped away the blood on his hands, his enthusiasm dampened, and went back to grilling fish, seeing Kasmin enjoying her meal,
"You’re not worried at all, my Princess."
Kasmin spat the fish bones onto the table, muttering, "What should I worry about? You’re here, and besides, it was you who wanted to confront those pirates."
"But I see quite a few casualties in this battle."
Su Changxing replied helplessly, "After all, none are specialized fighters, casualties are normal, otherwise, these pirates wouldn’t dare to target them."
The people in this world seem to have high tiers, but when it comes to real combat, there’s a lot of bluff.
This is a consequence of not understanding Power; without understanding, one cannot fully utilize.
Su Changxing, on the other hand, has developed his Power to the fullest, almost reaching the maximum potential. To improve further requires advancing.
Though there are no other possessions on the Pirate Ship, they have plenty of weapons; as the saying goes, neighbors stock food, I stock guns, just rob them.
Weilian excitedly came over, saying, "Sir, do we still need to confront these pirates? We used to avoid them, but now we can directly take them down, it’s truly satisfying."
Su Changxing nodded and smiled, "Of course, it’s everyone’s responsibility to eliminate evil and uphold good. Would you like some grilled fish? I just finished cooking."
