Chapter 489: Real Danger
Howling Wind sighed and looked out the window at the sea.
The cannon roared, and many pirate ships were sunk under the fire of the Sunset Fleet.
The losses of this breakthrough were naturally quite heavy, and there were countless floating corpses floating on the sea, most of which were the corpses of Tang pirates.
Howling Wind retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice, "What I should have listened to you was that I was blinded by hatred and underestimated Beckett's abilities. Brother Xufeng, what do you think I should do in the current situation? ”
Xu Feng thought for a while, "Let's break through first, if we can break through successfully, we will go to Shipwreck Bay to hold a pirate conference." ”
Howling Wind frowned and said, "Why, do you really think that a rabble of pirates can unite to deal with Beckett?" In this battle, Beckett's fleet can be said to be a complete victory, Beckett has the capital to brag about again, and the other pirates will naturally be more afraid of him, I am worried that even if we arrive at Shipwreck Bay, the other pirate kings agree to obey us on the surface, but in fact, they are still sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and they will not really make a move, and when the time comes, the one who will be cheated can only be ourselves. ”
Xu Feng nodded slightly, "I understand, but at that time, we will have a secret weapon." ”
Howling Wind was stunned, "Secret weapon? What are you talking about...... Colly Bouso? Back then, at the first pirate conference, they sealed Colybso, and now, the pirates are in trouble, and they want to unseal Colybso, which is completely using God as a tool, if I were Colybso, I would be full of anger and release Colybuso, the risks far outweigh the benefits. ”
Xu Feng smiled: "The secret weapon I said is not Colly Bso. ”
Howling Wind asked curiously, "What's that?" ”
Xu Feng smiled: "When the time comes, you will know." ”
…… If you can survive to that time.
Of course, Xu Feng didn't say this half sentence.
And according to the plot, Howling Wind died at this time of the breakout.
Xu Feng thought of many ways to change Howling Wind's fate, including luring Howling out of the captain's quarters, guiding Howling Wind to the seemingly dangerous but actually safe deck, and letting Howling Wind sneak away in a small boat...... But these methods may not be enough to change the fate line of Howling Wind.
Howling Wind's death seems to have been hit by an accidental cannonball, but often this accident is the most unchangeable.
Xiao Feng saw that Xu Feng's brows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't explain the secret weapon, so he didn't continue to ask.
He let out a long sigh, "I never thought that Beckett had arranged a traitor by my side, and if it wasn't for being betrayed, our losses wouldn't be so great." ”
Xu Feng said, "I know who betrayed you is, and he should be dead by now. ”
Howling Wind immediately asked, "Who?" ”
"Do you have a subordinate named Ma Mingyi?" Xu Feng asked.
"That's right!" Xiao Feng's face was full of surprise, "But it can't be Ma Mingyi!" Ma Mingyi...... It's the son of my sworn brother! My sworn brother died to save me, and I treat Ma Mingyi as well as my own son. Others may betray me, but Ma Mingyi will not. ”
Xu Feng smiled: "It is indeed you who he betrayed, this is what Beckett said proudly." ”
Howling Wind sat down on the chair with a distracted face, leaning back limply on the cold back of the chair.
After a long while, he asked hoarsely, "...... He's dead? ”
Xu Feng nodded and said, "If he is dead, even if the people on the Black Pearl don't kill him, as long as he approaches Beckett, he will be shot as a pirate." ”
Xiaofeng patted the armrest and said bitterly: "Confused! Confused! Ma Mingyi, what's wrong with you following me? Where have I done you wrong? Why did you sell me for a million gold coins? A million gold coins are just bait, you can't get it! Confused! Confused! ”
Xu Feng said comfortingly: "Brother Xiaofeng, this matter has passed, don't be sad and blame yourself." I believe that after this incident, there should be no more betrayers among the Tang pirates. ”
Howling Wind sighed, looking like he had suddenly aged a dozen years.
"Xufeng, you know what? Managing this large stall of pirates is not an easy task. On the surface, I am the strongest pirate, but that's only because we haven't encountered pressure yet, and once we encounter pressure like today, all the small problems that were covered up before are infinitely magnified, and every small problem, at this time, will make people feel devastated. The so-called collapse of the building is actually just a blink of an eye. ”
"Brother Xiaofeng, we still have hope." Xu Feng said.
Boom Boom!
There was an earth-shattering sound of shelling outside, and the breakthrough of the Empress also entered the final critical stage.
Three large armed ships of the Sunset Fleet swooped down on the Empress in a triangular formation, and the two loyal frigates beside the Empress immediately rushed towards them.
The Empress confronted the remaining armed ship.
After a wild bombardment, the two frigates of the Empress slowly sank, and the three armed ships of the Sunset Fleet were all damaged, and it was difficult to form a trap on the Empress again.
Although the Empress was also damaged, the damage was very small, and when the ships of the other ships of the Sunset Fleet did not arrive, the Empress quickly broke through and sailed towards the most complicated island waters in the Strait of Malacca.
It wasn't until the sunset fleet was thrown off far away that the pirates of the Empress cheered excitedly.
Howling Wind's feelings of loss and despair have also been alleviated.
He regained his strength, stood up and said: "Brother Xufeng, you are right, we still have hope, in this naval battle, I am afraid that I will lose sixty-seven pirate ships, and only one-third of them will survive, but it doesn't matter, as long as the East Indo Trading Company dares to cross the Strait of Malacca, my pirate fleet can grow again!" ”
Xu Feng smiled and nodded.
…… Unfortunately, we are not out of danger yet.
Because real and dangerous, it is coming soon.
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Brother Xufeng, are you willing to join my pirate group?" I know that with your ability, being a captain is wronged to you, and if you are willing to assist me, I can make you the deputy head of my pirate group, and the two of us will join forces to ensure that we can turn the Donin Trading Company upside down. ”
Xu Feng was just about to speak, when he heard the whistling sound of cannon shells outside.
Immediately afterward, a cannon shell directly pierced the wall of the captain's room, and the huge impact of the cannonball hit the howling wind!
Howling Wind's body soared into the air and landed heavily on a broken wooden thorn.
The wooden thorn pierced through his chest, and Howling Wind screamed in pain.
