The Black Dragon's pirate ship had entered the harbor. At the long and narrow entrance, the Tang dynasty soldiers did not launch an attack but allowed the Black Dragon's ship to enter the harbor. The soldiers of the Tang dynasty now had the absolute advantage, and the warships outside the harbor were approaching. Soon, the harbor would be completely sealed off. The Black Dragon and his crew had nowhere to run. In this case, there was no need to rush to attack. In addition, throwing boulders from high places did not have a high hit rate, and once they hit, the ship would be damaged. The Black Dragon and his crew were like turtles in a jar. It was obviously not cost-effective to destroy the Black Dragon's armed fast ship. The most appropriate thing to do was to protect the armed fast ship while eliminating the Black Dragon. At this time, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Tang dynasty, the pirate ship was already a trophy. It was obviously inappropriate to destroy the trophy, and the safest thing to do was to capture it.
"The entrance has been blocked. The pirate ship can't run away. Let them surrender!"
The captain of the Tang dynasty said.
Suddenly, all the soldiers of the Tang dynasty who had been lying in ambush appeared at the harbor. Their appearance shocked the Black Dragon and his crew and made them feel desperate. They felt that they were really going to die.
"Your Majesty, their warships are blocking the way back. We've been blocked."
"Your Majesty, there are also several warships in the harbor. Together with the ships blocking the entrance outside, there are more than ten ships in total. The arrow towers are also occupied by them."
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect them to kill us all. They are too ruthless. But where did they get so many people? In the direction of Black Wolf Island, there should be no less than a thousand of them. There are more than a hundred of our brothers guarding here. They can't take it down without enough people!"
"We left more than a hundred of our brothers here. I didn't expect Dragon Island to be captured so easily. How many people did they send?"
"What's the use of talking about this now? Let's think about what to do next!"
Several of the Black Dragon's confidants discussed nervously.
At this time, in the face of such a terrible situation, these confidants were also very helpless. They could no longer deal with the current situation. It seemed that they could only be slaughtered by others.
At this time, the Black Dragon finally felt desperate. The other party had made it clear that they wanted to kill him. At this time, he had been surrounded by the enemy. There was no hope for him to survive. However, he did not know that the people opposite him were the soldiers of the Tang dynasty.
"Whether we surrender or not, we will die. If we surrender, we will die. If we don't surrender, we will die quickly. What do you think we should do?"
The Black Dragon looked at his confidants and ask.
The confidants looked at each other and didn't know what to say. They were in a bad mood. They were used to riding roughshod over others. If they surrendered, it would lower their image. Moreover, surrendering might not necessarily save their lives. Even if they did, their future days would be very aggrieved. Living in humiliation might be worse than death.
........ . There is no hope for us anymore. If we surrender, we may have a way to live. If we don't surrender, we will really die. "
"Your Majesty, the Black Tiger and the others may not really kill us. If we surrender, we may have a way to live."
"You two cowards. The Black Tiger and us have already fallen out. There is no room for reconciliation. If he can spare us, the sun will come out from the west. We can't expect the Black Tiger to forgive us. We would rather die in battle than let the Black Tiger and the others see us as a joke."
"If you like to die in battle, why didn't you fight with the Black Tiger and the others before? Why did you hide in the cabin and paddle? You are also afraid. Why are you pretending to be a hero?"
"We don't have a chance to surrender now. If we want to surrender, we should have surrendered earlier. We fought against them at sea for so long and made them suffer. If we don't pay a price, I'm afraid they won't forgive us. They may even kill us."
"It's better to live than to die. Now that things have come to this, it doesn't matter even if we suffer a little. If we shrink our heads, maybe we can survive."
"Your Majesty, let's surrender!"
The Black Dragon's confidants finally gave in. They still wanted to live. They didn't want to die. There was endless joy in living. If they died, there would be nothing left. Of course, it was better to live. As long as one wasn't a fool, they would choose to live. No one was willing to leave this happy world.
Seeing the situation, the Black Dragon's heart wavered. He naturally didn't want to live in humiliation, but living was better than dying. He was worried that even if the Black Tiger forgave him, he would arrange a very humiliating job for him. For example, he would make him do manual labor, clean the cesspool, and so on. Then, he wouldn't give him good clothes or clean food. Once he was subjected to such treatment, it would be more painful than death. However, the Black Dragon didn't want to die. At the same time, he didn't want to suffer such miserable treatment. This made him very distressed. He was thinking hard about how to get the Black Tiger and the others to forgive him so that he could live better and not be tortured by the Black Tiger and the others. However, after thinking about it, it seemed that the only way was to reveal the location of the treasure cave that only he knew. In this way, he might be able to get the Black Tiger and the others to forgive him and let him live better. Of course, this might not necessarily work, but how would he know if it wouldn't work if he didn't try? In order to live, he had to bear the pain and reveal the location of the treasure cave. After that, he could only rely on God's will.
"What? The pirates don't want to surrender? They want to see the Black Tiger, but the Black Tiger isn't here!"
The Tang Dynasty's captain learned of the pirates' conditions and said.
"No, the Black Tiger is chasing after them. It's just that he's been left behind for a while. At this time, he should be catching up with us soon. We can see the Black Tiger soon."
The soldier said.
The Tang Dynasty's captain nodded and said, "Well, let's wait for the Black Tiger to come! Let's see what conditions they have. As long as they are willing to surrender, it's not impossible to agree to some of their conditions. "
Soon, the Black Tiger and eight armed clippers full of Tang Dynasty soldiers arrived at the Black Dragon Island. As soon as they entered the port, they learned from the Tang Dynasty's captain that the Black Dragon wanted to see the Black Tiger.
"What? The Black Dragon wants to see me? What's the use of seeing me at this time?"
When the Black Tiger heard that the Black Dragon wanted to see him, he was a little scared. He was afraid that the Black Dragon would counterattack and drag him to hell with him.
"What? You don't want to go?"
The Tang Dynasty's captain frowned and looked at the Black Tiger, looking a little dissatisfied.
How could the Black Tiger dare to disagree? He hurriedly said, "I'll go. I'll ask him what he wants."
Soon, the Black Tiger led his brothers on an armed clipper and went to the Black Dragon's armed clipper.
"Big Brother Black Dragon, since you're in such a hurry to see me, you can tell me what you want."
The Black Tiger asked with a smile.
He had to show some confidence and not let the Black Dragon see any flaws.
The Black Dragon forced a smile and said, "Brother Black Tiger, we've known each other for a long time. I really didn't expect you to be so talented and bold to push me to this point. I've always thought that we were good brothers, but I didn't expect the four of you to hate me so much. This is something I didn't expect, but it doesn't matter anymore. Now that you've won a great victory, I'm convinced. In the future, the entire archipelago will belong to you. We don't have any other requests, we just want to live a good life. I hope you can give us this opportunity and let us live.
Can you promise us that? "The Black Tiger heard this and said with a smile," If Big Brother Black Dragon wants to surrender, of course you can. However, why didn't you surrender before? Isn't it a little too late to surrender at this point? Big Brother Black Dragon's desperate resistance also caused us a lot of losses. This debt must be settled. What can Big Brother Black Dragon take out to satisfy us? "
The Black Dragon's face turned a little ugly when he heard this. He said, "Of course there's something good. These things are enough to make up for the deaths and injuries of your brothers. However, these things are hidden in an inconspicuous place. If I don't show the way, no one will find them."
After saying that, he smiled very confidently.
The Black Dragon heard this and hurriedly asked, "Say it! What kind of treasure is it that Big Brother Black Dragon thinks so highly of it? "
The Black Dragon said, "It's a treasure cave that I found many years ago. There are many treasures in it, but because I can't use them for a while, I haven't taken them. Now, the treasures are still in the cave. As long as Big Brother Black Tiger can forgive our mistake tonight, I'm willing to give all these treasures to Big Brother Black Tiger. I also hope that Big Brother Black Tiger can let us leave this sea area. In the future, I swear I'll never come back."
The Black Tiger thought for a moment and said, "That's a good suggestion. However, it's not up to me to decide. I still have to discuss it with Black Wolf and the other two. I'll give you an answer soon."
After saying that, the Black Tiger returned to the shore and reported the situation to the captain of the Tang dynasty. In the face of such a situation, the captain of the Tang dynasty didn't know what to do. However, he could stall for time and report the situation to his superior.
The people led by Ang Lee himself soon arrived at the port of Black Dragon Island. Seeing a large group of people entering the island, the Black Dragon was shocked. There were at least a thousand people here. How could he not be shocked when Black Tiger and the others really had so many people? Moreover, there must be people guarding Black Wolf Island and other islands. In this case, the Black Tiger and the others might have more people.
However, because the soldiers of the Tang dynasty didn't wear military uniforms, the Black Tiger couldn't figure out the true identity of these soldiers and could only guess.
"Assistant Minister Li, the Black Dragon proposed to exchange the treasure cave for his freedom. He wants to leave the Black Dragon Sea Area with his confidants forever."
The captain said.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "It's such a good thing. Why don't we agree with him?"
"Assistant Minister Li, are we really going to let him go? He is a pirate who has done all kinds of evil! He will also rob merchants if he goes to other places. "
The captain of the Tang dynasty said.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "Who said that we're going to let the Black Dragon go? We just promised the Black Dragon to find out the whereabouts of the treasure cave. Are we really going to let him go?"
"But the Black Dragon is not a fool. His request is to give him the goods and let him go at the same time. When we give him the treasure cave, we also have to let the Black Dragon go."
The captain of the Tang dynasty said.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "That's not a big problem. We'll let him go first, and then we'll get him back. Let the Black Tiger let him go, and then let our soldiers catch him again. We won't let him run away."
Naturally, they couldn't let the Black Dragon, the leader of the pirates, go. But since the Black Dragon knew about the treasure cave, it was okay to keep him alive for the time being. If they could let him go, they could catch him again. Ang Lee didn't doubt this at all.
Soon, the Black Tiger agreed to the Black Dragon's suggestion and learned the approximate location of the treasure cave from the Black Dragon. It was actually on the periphery of the Black Dragon Islands, more than three hundred miles away from the Black Dragon Islands.
"It's more than three hundred miles away. Could it be a trap? If the Black Dragon is deliberately tricking us, then our trip will be in vain. "
The captain of the Tang dynasty listened to the Black Tiger's report and didn't seem to believe it. If the treasure cave was on the Black Dragon Island or on a nearby island, it would be easy to verify. But the location of the treasure cave was actually three hundred miles away in a place called Ghost Snake Island, which made them a little dissatisfied. It would take a lot of time to go back and forth. If the Black Dragon was tricking them, then it would be a great loss.
"Whether it's true or not, let's choose to believe in the Black Dragon first. Let our soldiers deploy there in advance. We must figure out the situation there so that we can catch the Black Dragon again at any time."
Ang Lee said.
Although he didn't know if the Black Dragon was telling the truth, Ang Lee still decided to believe in this pirate. Anyway, three hundred miles wasn't particularly far. They could just treat it as a trip back and forth.
Soon, the Black Dragon agreed to the Black Dragon's request. They allowed the Black Dragon to take away an armed clipper ship with fifty to sixty confidants and brothers on board. In addition, there were more than ten young and beautiful women. It was enough food for these people to eat for two months.
Of course, in order to prevent the Black Dragon from deliberately playing tricks, more than ten brothers under the Black Tiger's command were arranged to guard the ship. In addition, the Black Tiger would personally lead an armed clipper ship full of more than a hundred brothers. In this way, the Black Tiger's strength undoubtedly had the upper hand, but the Black Dragon also had the ability to protect himself. Everyone was more at ease with each other and didn't have to worry about each other deceiving them.
After more than a thousand soldiers of the Tang dynasty entered the Black Dragon Island, the sky soon became bright. Under the search and shouting of a large number of soldiers of the Tang dynasty, the pirates on the island came out one after another to surrender. None of them escaped. They were all detained in the captive area and were educated by specialized soldiers so that they could turn over a new leaf.
After a few hours of slight preparation, two armed clippers left the Black Dragon Island and went to Ghost Snake Island, three hundred miles away, to see if there was really a treasure cave there.
Of course, Ang Lee naturally wouldn't just let two ships go three hundred miles away. The soldiers of the Tang dynasty had already sent four whaling ships there. At the same time, after the two ships left, a large number of ships were sent to follow them from a distance. As long as they were not in the Black Dragon's sight, they would not be discovered.
