Ang Lee and his men finally returned to Black Wolf Island in the middle of the night. After returning, they immediately arranged for five ships to transport most of the captured pirates to Tianguang Port. There were too many captives. It was too dangerous to keep all of them around and they were not easy to control. After taking most of them away, it would be easier to control them and there was no need to worry that they would rebel.
At this time, two of the five pirate groups had been dealt with. There were still three groups of pirates left. The pressure on them had decreased a lot. However, it was more appropriate to deal with them one by one. It was difficult to guarantee the lowest number of casualties if they dealt with them all at once. Naturally, they had to deal with the weakest pirates first.
First, they would deal with the Black Dog, then the Black Panther, and finally the Black Dragon. After they were all dealt with, it was almost time for them to go back.
Li An wanted to seriously deploy his troops and eliminate the nearby pirates one by one. He wanted to eliminate all the pirates in the vicinity.
After a night's rest, Ang Lee found Black Tiger and the others and asked about the situation on Black Dog Island and Black Panther Island. He also asked for Black Tiger's opinion.
"The Black Dog is the weakest. He has less than 100 brothers and is easy to deal with. The Black Panther has more than 200 brothers and the Black Dragon has more than 500. They are the strongest."
Black Tiger had been captured. He had to give advice to Ang Lee. Only in this way could his crime be reduced and he had a chance to live.
"The Black Dog is easy to deal with. We can help."
Strong Tiger answered.
Ang Lee asked with a smile, "What's your plan? Tell me."
Strong Tiger said, "We can work together. We can take a few people to Black Dog Island as guests. At night, when Black Dog's men are sleeping on the island, we can control Black Dog and his brothers, and then …"
After listening to Strong Tiger's suggestion, Ang Lee felt it was somewhat feasible. At this time, Black Tiger and the others were controlled and had no ability to resist. It was not a problem to let them complete this task. They only needed to mix the Tang dynasty's soldiers into the pirates' team.
"Okay, I agree with your suggestion. Strong Tiger, I'll leave this task to you. Let's see how you can complete it."
Ang Lee said.
Later, Strong Tiger selected 15 pirates, and Ang Lee also selected 15 Tang dynasty's soldiers, and mixed them into the ship. Then, the ship left Black Wolf Island and headed for Black Dog Island, which was a hundred miles away. They were ready to take over Black Dog Island in one fell swoop.
Of course, these 30 people were definitely not enough. Even if they could control Black Dog and temporarily deter the Black Dog's pirates, there would inevitably be unforeseen events after a long time. If the people of Black Dragon Island suddenly appeared, the situation would change greatly. Therefore, they needed a very powerful force to deter them. It would not be enough without hundreds of soldiers.
After the ship set off, Ang Lee asked Chen Long to select 300 soldiers and prepare to go to Black Dog Island at night to support Strong Tiger's Heart and completely control Black Dog Island.
Strong Tiger's group soon arrived at Black Dog Island. Near the dock, they were warmly welcomed by Black Dog. Even if it was just a superficial welcome, it was still a welcome.
"Big Brother Strong Tiger, what brings you here?"
Black Dog personally came to greet them and greeted them politely.
Strong Tiger smiled and said, "I was bored at home, so I just came for a stroll. What's wrong? Am I not welcome?"
Black Dog hurriedly said, "How can that be? I'm more than happy that Big Brother Strong Tiger can come. Men, prepare the dishes that have been prepared for a long time.
Strong Tiger also looked at his brothers behind him and said, "Quick, bring up all the good things from Black Tiger Island."
After saying that, he looked at Black Dog and said, "I won't let you lose out. We can't even finish the good things from Black Tiger Island, so we just brought some over for you guys to try."
Black Dog was naturally very familiar with the situation on Black Tiger Island. Black Tiger Island's supply of vegetables, fruits, and livestock exceeded the demand. In this aspect, they were much better than the other four pirate factions. The food they prepared on Black Dog Island was lacking. Although they had fewer people, their island was smaller, and they had fewer brothers in charge of planting and breeding. Therefore, there was naturally a shortage of food and they really needed to rely on robbing to survive. Although there were many fishermen here who could provide some offerings, most of them were fish. They didn't have to worry about eating fish, but they lacked food and had to rely on robbing to exchange for it. There was no better way.
"Haha! Then I really have to thank Big Brother Strong Tiger. Our Black Dog Island is too small. We only have 20 mu of vegetable fields, so we can't develop more. It's also difficult to maintain livestock. So far, we've only raised a dozen sheep and 30 hens, so we can't afford to raise more. "
Black Dog said excitedly.
Strong Tiger said, "Don't worry, Brother. Our Black Tiger Island doesn't have much, but we have enough food. If you need anything in the future, just say the word. I won't watch you starve."
It was said that one who was unaccountably solicitous was hiding evil intentions. Strong Tiger's generosity made Black Dog suspicious. He always felt that Strong Tiger seemed to have some ulterior motives. If Strong Tiger didn't tell him his intentions, he wouldn't dare to accept any benefits now or in the future.
"Big Brother Strong Tiger, if you have something to say, just say it. As long as I can do it, I won't speculate."
Black Dog opened his mouth to express his determination.
Strong Tiger said with a smile, "It's nothing. It's just that our Big Brother feels that we should interact more with the other Big Brothers in order to avoid alienation. Although our Big Brother isn't as famous as Big Brother Black Dragon, he definitely treats his brothers well."
When Black Dog heard this, he seemed to understand something. It seemed that this Black Tiger was trying to rope him in. He was quite suspicious. What was this Black Tiger planning to do? Could it be that he wanted to eliminate the Black Dragon and become the supreme leader of this sea region? However, Black Tiger's strength was obviously not as strong as the Black Dragon. Even if they were to rope him in, they wouldn't have the strength to resist the Black Dragon. Even if their combined strength was stronger than the Black Dragon's, he wouldn't be willing to do such a thing. This was because once they fought to the death, it would cause losses. Pirates weren't willing to fight an evenly matched battle, unless the difference in strength was too great and they could win a major victory.
"Big Brother Strong Tiger, what does Big Brother Black Tiger want to do? There's no one else here, so you don't have to be afraid. Just say whatever you want to say."
Black Dog said.
Strong Tiger said with a smile, "My Big Brother feels that the Black Dragon isn't being honest. He isn't being honest."
"Oh, what did Big Brother Black Dragon do to make Big Brother Black Tiger so angry?"
Black Dog narrowed his small eyes and asked curiously.
Strong Tiger said, "Brother, you don't know! These past few years, because our Black Tiger Island has enough food, the Black Dragon would send people here every few days. If it wasn't for a few pigs, a few sheep, a few hundred fish, or a few thousand eggs. It's normal for him to ask for food occasionally. Big Brother Black Tiger isn't a stingy person, but the Black Dragon would send people here to ask for food every seven or eight days. This frequency is too high. Although we can afford it, we don't feel comfortable. "
"Oh, is that so? Didn't Brother Strong Tiger say that there's enough food on the island and we can't finish it? If he wants to give us more, so be it! "
Black Hound smirked coldly.
Strong Tiger said helplessly, "This is different. It's not that we can't help Brother if we can't finish it, but the Black Dragon's henchmen are too arrogant. Every time they come, it's like they're giving orders. Who can stand it? It's fine if they come in person, but every time they send people here, they have the same attitude. Who can stand it? It's like we owe them something."
Black Dog nodded and said with a smile, "Our Black Dog Island is lacking in resources. We don't have anything good, so Big Brother Black Dragon doesn't send people here often. Men are afraid of fame, but pigs are afraid of being fat. Who asked you to have enough food at home?"
"Sigh, that's true. Who asked us to have so much food on our island? But Big Brother Black Dragon controls the island with a lot of copper mines! I don't see any of us brothers sharing it! "
Strong Tiger said.
There were mines near the area controlled by Black Dragon Island. It was a small island with a lot of copper mines. It was even better than the Red Iron Island under Black Wolf Island. The value of copper mines was higher than iron mines, but the Black Dragon had used the copper mines to exchange for money and didn't share it with any of the pirate forces. This was also a fact.
Black Dog said with a smile, "Who asked Big Brother Black Dragon to be the strongest? Whoever is stronger has the most authority, isn't that right? "
This was the truth, an eternal truth. In any era, strength was respected. Without strength, everything was just empty talk. With strength, one had the right to decide life and death.
Strong Tiger said with a smile, "Brother, you're right. Big Brother Black Dragon is the strongest. That's why we brothers should move around more!"
These words were too direct. It was simply the prelude to a rebellion.
Black Dog smiled, as if he didn't agree with Strong Tiger's words. It was obvious that Black Dog's strength was different from Black Tiger's. He was the weakest among the five pirates. If the four of them worked together to eliminate the Black Dragon, the Black Tiger would undoubtedly become the winner. However, the weakest Black Dog might not be so. Because he was too weak, whether it was the Black Dragon or the Black Tiger who became the strongest force, he would have to look up to them. Therefore, he naturally didn't have the thought of rebelling.
In this world, the people who liked to rebel the most were undoubtedly the people in the second position. The small characters below them didn't like to rebel. They didn't want to work for others.
The strongest country in the world always had the absolute advantage. When it suppressed the second strongest country, it could always gather more allies. It was very difficult for the second strongest country to break out of this situation. The reason was that the small countries below them didn't want to cooperate with the second strongest country. They didn't want to suffer huge losses. At the same time, they knew very well that even if they accompanied the second strongest country to eliminate the boss, it would be the second strongest country. In the end, they were still bullied little brothers. Would the second strongest country treat them well after becoming the boss? They didn't dare to take this risk. If they lost in the end, their losses would be in vain.
Therefore, Black Dog wouldn't cooperate with Black Tiger to fight against the Black Dragon. This was because there was no benefit to him. He would only suffer losses. There was no need for them to do so.
Black Dog thought that he had figured out the purpose of Strong Tiger's visit. However, he didn't know that Strong Tiger's real purpose was to capture them. This was something that he never expected.
After dinner, Strong Tiger didn't choose to leave. Instead, he stayed on Black Dog Island for the night. Black Dog naturally didn't have any objections. He specially arranged a place for them to stay.
"Third Great King, when are we going to act?"
One of the pirate brothers asked.
Strong Tiger looked at a soldier from the Tang dynasty who accompanied him. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "We'll act in the middle of the night. That's when they're the most tired. Our reinforcements will also arrive at midnight. This way, our risk will be minimized."
After discussing for a while, they finally decided on the specific time of the operation.
On the other side, Black Dog recalled what had just happened with a look of disdain. He felt that Black Tiger was treating him like a fool. He wouldn't get involved in this mess. If Black Tiger really wanted to rebel, he wouldn't participate. At least, he wouldn't really participate. It was possible for him to put on a show. If the major forces were really defeated and injured, then he, Black Dog, might be able to sit on the top. This was completely possible.
"They actually want to use us. What wishful thinking. Don't even think about it. Do they really think we're fools?"
Black Dog said disdainfully.
"Big Brother, should we tell Big Brother Black Dragon about this?"
Black Dog's brother next to him asked.
"We don't know anything. This matter has nothing to do with us. Let them fight among themselves! We'll just sit back and reap the benefits. "
Black Dog said with a smile.
"Big Brother is wise. Let them fight until they're all defeated and injured. It's best for us to sit back and reap the benefits. This might be a great opportunity. If we can take this opportunity to become the number one force, that would be great."
One of the brothers said.
Black Dog said, "This is the best case scenario, but the possibility is really low. After all, we have too few people. Even if they're all defeated and injured, their strength won't be weaker than ours. You can't possibly think that after the few of them fight, half of them will die and only a few dozen people will be left, right? This possibility is too low. Thieves like us won't really fight to the death. Even if we do fight, it won't be to that extent. "
"Big Brother is right. This is Black Tiger's wishful thinking. Maybe Black Dragon and Black Panther are like us and won't cooperate with Black Tiger. I'm afraid there's nothing Black Tiger can do."
"Big Brother, at least we can't count on Black Wolf. I heard that Black Wolf was injured while out on a mission and is still recuperating. He definitely won't participate. With just Black Tiger and Black Panther, they definitely won't dare to make a move. Big Brother Black Dragon's subordinates aren't as simple as just having more people. They have the most financial resources and the best equipment. I'm afraid that even if the four of us join forces, we won't be a match for them. "
Black Dog's brothers said.
Black Dog said with a smile, "Black Tiger is just daydreaming. He wants to buy us over with just a little food. There's no way. What does he think we are? Just for a bite of food, we're willing to be cannon fodder."
"Big Brother is right."
"Big Brother is wise."
Black Dog's brothers said.
Black Dog was gradually getting tired. He said, "Alright, it's getting late. Let's rest early!"
Just as Black Dog and his brothers were preparing to rest, Strong Tiger and his men had already begun their preparations.
