Black Tiger led more than two hundred people and set off in four ships in the dark. It was less than two hours before the sky turned dark, so there was still time. However, because they needed to go around the Black Dragon Island, they needed to spend more time to avoid being discovered by the people of Black Dragon Island. They were moving in secret, so naturally, the more covert they were, the better. They were most afraid of causing a misunderstanding in the Black Dragon Island. That would be very troublesome. If the people of Black Dragon Island mistakenly thought that they were going to launch a sneak attack at night, that would be bad.
This was because from Black Tiger Island to Black Wolf Island, they had to pass through Black Dragon Island. If they wanted to go around it, they would need to take a detour. It would take at least an hour to be safe. This way, they wouldn't attract the attention of the people of Black Dragon Island. According to Black Tiger's understanding of Black Dragon Island, there would be ships patrolling the sea at night. However, the patrolling range wasn't large. At most, it would circle around the island for more than ten miles. It definitely wouldn't exceed twenty miles. There was no need for this at all. There were only two or three patrolling ships, and each ship only needed three to five people.
"My King, we're about to reach the vicinity of Black Dragon Island. If we encounter the people of Black Dragon Island, how should we answer?"
A confidant asked.
Black Tiger said, "It's best if we don't encounter them. If we do, it'll be troublesome, very troublesome."
From Black Tiger's point of view, the Black Dragon was still a colossus. For so many years, the most powerful pirate in this area was the Black Dragon. This guy controlled the best territory, and his strength accounted for almost half of all the pirates. With such a powerful strength, he could naturally suppress the rest of the pirates. Hence, he was called the Great Emperor, which was almost the standard of a local tyrant. Even the Black Dragon had concubines. In his backyard, he kept more than ten young and beautiful women. Each of these women was very beautiful. The situation of the other Kings was different, but at least the Black Wolf had many women. They occupied an area overseas, lived by plundering, and lived the life of a local tyrant.
Black Tiger was the second most powerful person in the Black Dragon's territory. His strength was second only to the Black Dragon. Naturally, he was unwilling to be suppressed. Hence, he was very eager to improve his strength so that he could have the strength to fight against the Black Dragon. In this way, he did not have to continue to be under the Black Dragon. That kind of feeling was really very bad. How could a man live in this world be depressed for a long time? A man without ambition would have lived his life in vain. Even if he was a pirate, he also had ambition. The Black Tiger's ambition was to replace the Black Dragon and become the Great Emperor of the entire sea area. Then, he would completely unify the entire sea area. In the future, this sea area would not be divided into five major forces, but only one force, and that was the force of the Black Tiger. He could not tolerate the existence of any other force. At the same time, the Black Tiger's ambition was to replace the Black Dragon and become the Great Emperor of the entire sea area. Then, he would completely unify the entire sea area. In the future, this sea area would not be divided into five major forces, but only one force, and that was the force of the Black Tiger. He could not tolerate the existence of any other force.
At this time, the Black Dragon also had the same thought. However, the Black Dragon's forces were only equivalent to less than half of the entire Sea Region. If the other four forces all joined forces to oppose him, his days wouldn't be easy. He really wanted to unify the entire Sea Region, but unfortunately, his strength wasn't enough. He had to wait for an opportunity, the best opportunity. Obviously, the opportunity hadn't arrived yet. Therefore, it was useless for the Black Dragon to be anxious. He could only wait passively for a suitable opportunity. For example, the Black Wolf's setback on White Dragon Island was a good opportunity, provided that Ang Lee didn't intervene.
The Black Dragon hadn't been waiting for a suitable opportunity to weaken the other four forces. Therefore, he didn't dare to rashly attack any of the forces, in case the other three forces had the idea that they would be interdependent and join forces to deal with him. If that was the case, his days wouldn't be easy. The Black Dragon Island was located in the center of the Sea Region and was surrounded by the other four forces. Once the other forces joined forces, they could immediately besiege the Black Dragon. Even if they didn't fight, as long as they sealed off the Sea Region, they could trap the Black Dragon. The Black Tiger was the same. They were all waiting for an opportunity, and obviously, the Black Tiger was the first to find the opportunity. At least, the Black Tiger himself thought that this was a very good opportunity. He naturally didn't know that this was a trap.
The Black Tiger's group quietly bypassed the Black Dragon Island and didn't attract the attention of the people on Black Dragon Island. They continued to move in the direction of Black Wolf Island.
"We should be able to reach Black Wolf Island before daybreak!"
The Black Tiger muttered to himself.
A confidant beside him said, "My King, according to our current fastest speed, our fleet can reach Black Wolf Island an hour earlier. This is already our fastest speed. It's impossible to go any faster."
"Alright, an hour it is. An hour is enough. Black Wolf Island no longer has the power to stop us. From today onwards, the Black Wolf Sea Region is ours."
The Black Tiger said confidently.
The confidant said, "My King, if the Black Dragon finds out about this, I'm afraid it won't end well. It's better to keep this a secret!"
The Black Tiger nodded and said, "Of course. I'm not stupid. After we obtain Black Wolf Island, we must subdue the Green Dog and the other leaders. Then, we'll leave some of our brothers on the island and move some of our brothers from Black Wolf Island to Black Tiger Island. This way, we can control Black Wolf Island without anyone knowing. Once we're strong enough, we won't have to care about what others think."
"My King is right. After we eliminate the Black Dog and the Black Panther, we'll take down all four major forces. The Black Dragon Emperor will be a turtle in a jar."
A confidant said.
The Black Tiger said, "Bullsh * t. What Emperor? He's just a little thief. Back when I was sailing on the sea, this kid was just a little sailor. Later on, he got lucky and gathered a group of brothers to occupy Black Dragon Island. He called himself the Black Dragon Emperor and even asked me to submit to him. Look what he's capable of. "
"My King, the Black Dragon's virtue doesn't match his position. He won't last long. I'm afraid he won't last long. He'll be replaced by the King sooner or later. Hehe!"
A confidant said.
The Black Tiger smiled with satisfaction and said, "Haha! Well said, very well said. I'm going to replace the Black Dragon. I'll teach him how to be a good man in the future. When I replace him, I'll make him wash my feet. Haha! "
Because he was in front of his confidants, the Black Tiger didn't have any scruples. These confidants were very weak and had relatives under his control. He wasn't worried that these confidants would betray him. The probability of these confidants betraying him was very small. They would almost never betray him. He didn't need to worry too much.
The four pirate ships moved forward under the guidance of the moonlight. They were getting closer and closer to Black Wolf Island. When they were an hour away from the Sea Wolf Island, they were discovered by the Tang dynasty soldiers patrolling the sea. Although the light on the sea was very weak, the four pirate ships were all big ships. Moreover, the soldiers of the Tang dynasty had binoculars, so they could see very far and very clearly with the help of the moonlight.
"Four ships. It seems that the Black Tiger is here. He's here now. He's quite fast!"
"Quick, let's go back and report the news."
Several soldiers of the Tang dynasty immediately turned the ship around and went to the Black Wolf Island to report the situation.
Soon, the soldiers of the Black Wolf Island learned that the Black Tiger was going to attack the island, so they immediately began to mobilize. In order not to arouse the Black Tiger's vigilance, all the mobilization was carried out secretly. There was not much movement and no extra fire. Otherwise, the Black Tiger far away on the sea would definitely notice the abnormality and give up the operation to attack the Black Wolf Island.
"Assistant Minister Li, the Black Tiger is here. It's faster than we originally expected. He's actually here tonight. We thought it would be tomorrow night."
Chen Long said.
Knowing that the Black Tiger suddenly appeared, Ang Lee naturally couldn't sleep. Moreover, there was not much time left before dawn. There was not much point in continuing to sleep. There was nothing wrong with waking up early.
"This Black Tiger is really impatient! He can't even wait for a day. Let's go and meet this Black Tiger. Let's see what kind of person he is. Haha! "
Ang Lee said with a smile.
In order to welcome the Black Tiger's arrival, Ang Lee mobilized almost half of the soldiers to ambush the Black Tiger's most likely attack route. Many people were also deployed in several other secondary directions to prevent the Black Tiger from acting unconventionally.
"Assistant Minister Li, we've mobilized nearly a thousand soldiers. This is giving too much face to the Black Tiger. I don't know how many pirates the Black Tiger will bring. If the number is too small, it'll be too wasteful for us."
Chen Long said with a smile.
Ang Lee said, "The more prepared we are, the fewer casualties we will have when the Black Tiger comes. It'll be even better if there are no casualties."
According to the strength of the soldiers of the Tang dynasty, the deployment of 100 soldiers could fight against the hundreds of people under the Black Tiger. However, there would definitely be a lot of casualties. If the deployment of nearly a thousand soldiers suddenly rushed out when they encountered the Black Tiger, it was hard to say whether the Black Tiger and his brothers would have the courage to fight back. Zero casualties were very likely to happen. Ang Lee liked to pursue zero casualties very much. This made Ang Lee feel very satisfied and comfortable.
On the sea, the Black Tiger and his confidants were standing on the bow of the ship and observing the Black Wolf Island not far away. Because the Black Wolf Island was illuminated by torches at night, it was easy to see.
"There's nothing unusual about Black Wolf Island. Your Majesty can rest assured."
One of the confidants couldn't see anything different about Black Wolf Island and said.
The Black Tiger nodded and said, "It's good that everything is normal. When we go to the island later, we'll split into two groups. The main force will go directly to the island from the port. The two of you will lead 30 brothers to go to the island from the other side. If the situation is bad, you can support each other."
Obviously, although the Black Tiger felt that the defense of the Black Wolf Island was no longer a concern, he still made a backup plan just in case. He asked his two confidants to lead 30 brothers to go to the island from the other side. In this way, they could appear in two places unexpectedly and completely disrupt the defense of the Black Wolf Island, making the defense of the island useless.
"By the way, has our spy been at the port all the time? Will he come to our rescue in time? "
The Black Tiger asked.
The confidant hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. That guy is hiding at the port. Whether it's tonight or tomorrow night, he will appear immediately and show us the way."
The Black Tiger nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. That's good! When this plan succeeds, I'll reward that guy well, haha! "
Soon, a medium-sized fishing boat under the Black Tiger's command left the team and sailed to another suitable landing spot on the Black Wolf Island. The remaining three boats went straight to the Black Dragon Island's dock, preparing to land there by force and then occupy the entire Black Wolf Island and make it their sphere of influence.
"Assistant Minister Li, the Black Tiger has split up. You're so thoughtful and made so many preparations in advance. Otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do our best."
Chen Long said.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "I didn't expect this Black Tiger to be so anxious, but his brain isn't muddled! He actually thought of splitting up to share the risk of his own operation. The other two can also block Black Wolf's escape route. It's killing two birds with one stone. "
"Yes! It's a pity that Black Wolf is already dead. There are more than a thousand of our troops on the island. The Black Tiger won't be able to return this time. "
Chen Long said with a smile.
After one of the fishing boats separated, the Black Tiger's fleet slowed down slightly so that the fishing boat that left the team could reach the designated location in time. Then, they could launch an attack on the Black Wolf Island together. The two groups of people must act together to achieve the greatest effect. He was most afraid of fish escaping the net. If the two groups of people acted together, they could prevent the people on the Black Wolf Island from escaping to the greatest extent and prevent the news from leaking out as much as possible.
When the separated fishing boats almost reached the designated location, the Black Tiger and his subordinates went straight to the Black Wolf Island's dock and barged in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you're finally here."
The Black Tiger's spy said excitedly.
"What's going on? You're alone."
The Black Tiger asked in puzzlement.
The spy said, "Your Majesty, I got all the people guarding the dock drunk. It's just drinking. Even if others know, it doesn't matter. If Your Majesty didn't come today, it would be much more difficult to continue getting them drunk tomorrow."
"Haha, good, good. Where are the Black Wolf and the others?"
The Black Tiger said happily.
"Your Majesty, Black Wolf and the others are recuperating in their rooms. They should be sleeping now. They won't wake up before dawn."
The spy said.
Seeing that all his subordinates had gone to the island, the Black Tiger smiled and said, "What are you waiting for? Lead the way. Let's take down the Black Wolf first. Then, the whole Black Wolf Island will be ours."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Follow me."
The spy happily led the way and led the Black Tiger and his men to the encirclement set by the soldiers of the Tang dynasty.
At the same time, another group of 30 Black Tiger's subordinates also landed elsewhere. This group had fewer people, so they also fell into the eyes of more than 100 soldiers of the Tang dynasty. As long as these people entered the ambush, none of them could escape. All of them had to stay.
The order that Ang Lee gave to all the soldiers involved in the battle was to capture the pirates alive as much as possible, but they had to protect themselves more. If the pirates dared to resist, they had to be killed.
