Chapter 233 I Choose to Kill Them
This guy's family is quite large. The population of his family, plus the slaves and servants who serve them, is more than 400 people. In addition, there are treasures on a ship.
Feng Willow couldn't figure it out. This guy took all the family members and wealth with him. Why is he willing to do this for the Demetro family? Isn't he afraid that his family will die? Or does he think that Feng Willow will definitely not be able to find out about him?
"Okay, the plague problem has been solved. Order the fleet below to speed up and return to the territory as soon as possible." Feng Willow gave an order.
Feng Willow didn't move the dragon flies on the ship. He originally planned to fabricate some crime for the nobles who surrendered. Now it seems that it is not necessary. These dragon flies can catch all the nobles who are sneaky and cunning.
After all, those nobles surrendered voluntarily. Although they performed poorly, they were greedy and plundered a lot of money. However, Feng Willow had no evidence in his hands. It was inevitable that some people would not accept it if he dealt with them. It would be better if there was a legitimate reason to deal with them.
It would also be convenient for other people to surrender to him in the future. If he had a reputation of killing surrendered nobles and occupying their property, no one would surrender to him in the future.
Of course, with Feng Willow's character, even if there was no reason like Longying, he would find other reasons to deal with these nobles. After all, it is easy to find excuses to accuse someone of a crime? If there is no evidence, can't you just forge one? Who will come to check the evidence in his hands?
Among so many surrendered nobles, in Feng Willow's opinion, only a few small nobles headed by Blake are qualified to stay.
The huge fleet sailed for another two days, and halfway back, it encountered a huge pirate joint fleet.
Through the eyes of the Fire Crow, Feng Willow saw that the pirates had learned their lesson this time. They were no longer riding large warships, but small speedboats.
The small speedboats were densely packed, with as many as two or three hundred ships, and these ships were extremely scattered, obviously afraid of Feng Willow's focus on attack.
A small speedboat, with only a dozen or twenty people, does not need too many sequencers. They come from all directions, and although Feng Willow's side has large ships, they really have no combat power.
The large ships are all fully loaded, and they are far inferior to these small speedboats in terms of turning and speed. The most important thing is that these ships are not protected by the army controlled by Feng Willow himself.
A large ship with more than a hundred sailors can't really beat more than a dozen well-trained elite pirates with muskets in their hands. What's more, these sailors are just temporarily hired for money, and they will not fight to the death for Feng Willow.
"Grand Duke Willow, what should we do now? Should we break through?" First mate Anthony stepped forward and asked.
The purpose of the other party sending small speedboats is to fight in close combat, so that Feng Willow's secret technique of controlling the plague cannot be used. After all, the plague does not recognize people.
Feng Willow suddenly had an idea. He thought of the old viscount, why he dared to bring his whole family and all his property to secretly oppose him.
With the pirates' attacks now, how could he not guess that the other party was waiting for him here? As long as the pirates' fleet rushed, Feng Willow's fleet would collapse immediately. At that time, these nobles would drive their warships and flee directly. Feng Willow would definitely not have time to chase them.
Most of these nobles were several families on one ship, or one or two families joined together on one ship. Even their selection of people to take the ship together was a self-organization. Feng Willow did not participate in these trivial matters at all.
Now it seems that he still miscalculated. He planned to deal with these surrendered nobles when he returned to the territory. Obviously, these nobles did not surrender to him sincerely. They also had their own plans.
What the old viscount did, the other surrendered nobles may not know. But now Feng Willow did not know how many people participated in it.
"Left-handed secret technique: flying head technique!"
Feng Willow's body shook, and he had turned into a plague seven-headed snake. Then the six snake heads on both sides of his body flew out of his body at the same time and flew towards these small boats.
Fire crows and plague seven-headed snakes also rushed forward and rushed to different small boats. Whether it was the fire crow or the plague seven-headed snake, as long as they rushed to the front, the sailors on the small boats jumped into the water directly, as if they had already made sufficient preparations and countermeasures.
The plague seven-headed snake could still kill a few people in the water, while the fire crow had no way to deal with the pirates who entered the water. Although the flying head technique could also enter the water, once it entered the water, there would be no black cloud of death that would cause large-scale casualties. The speed of killing pirates was greatly reduced.
The fire crows could burn their small speedboats, but the pirates hiding in the nearby sea water only needed to work together to turn the small boats over, and the fire would not be able to completely burn these small boats.
Obviously, the other party had studied Feng Willow's methods thoroughly. Even the purpose of this attack was not to kill him, but just to make him suffer losses. The main target was also the cargo ships transporting slaves and goods behind.
At this moment, the rear was in complete chaos. As expected, the surrendered nobles fled. They did not even rebel, but fled in all directions, directly facing the pirates' small speedboats.
The small speedboats controlled by the pirates did not block the ships of these nobles. There was a tacit understanding between the two parties. Obviously, the two parties have already completed communication.
Von Willow transformed into a beholder, stood on the bow of the ship with the beholder, and fired scorching rays at the small speedboats. Basically, it can be done one at a time, but the opponent seems to have reinforcements, as if there is no end to it.
The entire battlefield was shrouded in Feng Willow's mental monitoring. Feng Willow saw that many ships in the rear had been controlled by pirates. Under the hijacking of the pirates, those large cargo ships followed the nobles' ships and passed through the pirate boats. blockade zone.
"The secret technique of device control!" First Officer Anthony raised his hand and pointed, and the steam cannon on the ghost ship roared suddenly. Forty cannons blew up many small speedboats within the range to pieces.
According to the current trend, Fon Willow's loss is inevitable. The ships that his ghost ship can shelter are limited. This time, at least two-thirds of the harvest will be lost.
This is only the loss of slaves. As for the loss of money and extraordinary materials, there are even more. Among the extraordinary materials, the really good ones are all on the ships of those nobles. Now those nobles are all running away.
Previously, Feng Willow thought that they would all become his, so he did not take action against those nobles. As a result, the most valuable and precious treasures in the entire city were all owned by the surrendered nobles.
In times of crisis, it was not that there were no bright spots. Brak, whom Von Willow was optimistic about, performed very well. At least he sincerely surrendered to Von Willow and had been fighting bravely against the pirates.
It's a pity that at the critical moment, the few young nobles who had been firmly following him didn't perform very well, and some of them had already escaped with those nobles. Others are also fishing in troubled waters.
——
"Hahaha, okay, this battle was well fought. The harvest was too big. We took a big piece of fat from the hands of Feng Willow, the dragon knight. Is this considered snatching food from the dragon's mouth? "A strong man behind the pirates shouted excitedly, holding a monocular and looking at the battlefield ahead.
Although they lost a lot of men in this battle, it was worth it to pirates like them. Those who charged in front were the small pirate groups they gathered together.
No matter how much they lose, they don't feel bad. Moreover, there are too many treasures obtained this time. As long as they are willing to give up some of the treasures, those small pirate groups will not have any objections. In the New World, it is actually very easy for pirates to recruit people.
The adventurers in the New World are all desperadoes. They come to the New World just to get ahead and fight for wealth with their lives. Going on adventures or being pirates makes little difference to them.
"Captain, it's almost done. Don't really push Feng Willow into a hurry. We'll gain almost two-thirds of him this time. Leave one-third for him to prevent him from going crazy.
This time we are robbing him of all his gains and trophies. Even if we leave him a third, he won’t lose. They are all robbed things anyway.
But if there are too few things left, he might go crazy. If he really chooses to fight us, we can't beat him. "A man in a black robe standing next to the strong man said calmly and analyzed.
"I still have so much property, so I'm really not willing to give it up like this. If we finish the robbery, we just scatter and flee. We have so many ships. Even if he wants to fight to the death, who can he chase? ?" the strong captain said unwillingly.
"Captain, don't think so. Feng Willow has the secret technique to release plague on a large scale. If he is really determined to attack us, none of our subordinates will be able to escape.
Now that he still has money to make, he will naturally not flip the table. When he really loses too much and chooses to flip the table, we will gain nothing. On the contrary, you will suffer heavy losses! "The man in black robe quickly dissuaded him, fearing that this greedy pirate leader really wanted to snatch more gains from Feng Willow's mouth.
"Hey, okay, I'll listen to you! Then give the order to the front and let's retreat." The strong pirate leader said reluctantly.
Their ship was also a small clipper, but it was located very far behind, so far away that Feng Willow's mental power could not sense their position.
Obviously these pirates were also afraid that Feng Willow would release the plague on a large scale, so they did not dare to move forward at all, and just let the little pirates charge at the front.
"Captain, the pirates seem to be preparing to retreat." First mate Anthony reported to von Willow.
Seeing that the losses were inevitable, the ships of the surrendered nobles were also fleeing in all directions, and they were about to break through the range of his mental induction.
Feng Willow was quickly weighing whether to launch a plague and kill everyone together. If he didn't activate it, he could bring back more than 10,000 slaves this time, and his goal was achieved.
If a plague is launched, there is no need to think about slaves. Basically only a few people can survive. However, all the belongings and precious extraordinary materials can be preserved.
"What the hell, I chose to kill them! Otherwise, I would feel uncomfortable!" Feng Willow thought fiercely in his heart. If the slaves are gone, you can grab them again. There are plenty of natives in the New World anyway.
But those nobles who betrayed him ran away, and it would be difficult for him to find them again. The world is so big, where can he find them? The most important thing is that those nobles not only betrayed him, but also took his money and extraordinary materials, and lived a good life in the future. He could not accept this result.
"Left-handed secret technique: spread the plague!"
The Plague Banner, the Plague Umbrella, and the Plague Bell. The three treasures of the Plague appeared above Feng Weiluo's head at the same time.
The Plague Banner can expand the area covered by the plague, and the Plague Umbrella quickly formed a Plague Array, covering all the small speedboats on the sea that wanted to escape, as well as those noble ships that were trying their best to escape, in a yellow halo.
The Plague Umbrella turned into a huge umbrella shadow that covered the sky and the sun. Within the range covered by the Plague Umbrella, everyone looked up at the sky in horror.
But they only saw a large umbrella that covered the sky and the sun, covering the entire sea. The big umbrella took on an illusory form, but on it were the miserable appearances of patients with pale faces and thin muscles.
At this time, the pirate leader and the black-robed man in the distance were not covered by the plague umbrella. They also looked at the big umbrella that covered the sky in the distance with horror.
Just looking from a distance, it was as if they were in a place where plague was raging, and countless people wailed in despair. The two looked pale. There were only a few small boats left around them.
The pirates on the ship were also scared and pale. As pirates, they had long been accustomed to life and death, but in front of this plague umbrella that covered the sky, they were also terrified. They were not afraid of death, but the miserable death of infection with plague was a way of death that no one wanted to try.
"He really did it? Why? He clearly still had one-third of the slaves and most of the wealth. Why did he do this?" The strong pirate leader roared angrily and helplessly. Most of his pirate group's men were under the umbrella of plague that covered the sky.
His losses from this attack were simply incalculable. Their pirate group was crippled. (End of this chapter)
