"Look, how good these elite sailors are. It would be great if they fell into my hands." The crazy captain thought.

Chapter 427 Attack, Wind Pirates
The Golden Merli sails in the ocean.
Heading towards the Wind Pirate Island.
The reason why the big pirate groups in the sea lion kingdom can exist is because there is secret support from other countries.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, which is why pirate groups in various countries are rampant and cannot be completely eradicated.
Some pirate groups even dare to clamor against the naval battle legions, causing every country to have a huge headache. Naturally, the Sea Lion Kingdom also sponsors pirate groups from other countries. Everyone thinks the same thing. If you disgust me, I will disgust you too.
The Wind Pirates can only rank third in the pirate industry in the Sea Lion Kingdom.
Far from the strength to challenge the naval battle corps, it would be easy to deal with armed merchant ships if they were all dispatched, but it would be difficult to deal with them alone.
Qin Feng raised the monocular and looked at the outline of an island that gradually appeared in his field of vision.
As the Golden Meili drove closer to the island, Qin Feng could see the details of the island.
"This is the headquarters of the Wind Pirates."
Qin Feng said in his heart: "It is also the birthplace where this world has assigned me an identity."
The first thing he saw was the ground piles laid dozens of nautical miles in front of the island. The ground piles protruded about three meters out of the sea. They were connected to each other by arm-thick iron chains. They were artificially set up by the Wind Pirates. The sea surface barrier prevents other ships other than the Wind Pirates from approaching.
Then he saw the shore defense artillery set up on the edge of the island. There were more than a hundred shore defense artillery, ranging from traditional mortars to new artillery cannons and cannons. The firepower was extremely powerful. If the Golden Plum If the Mei Li is hard-working, even if it can be captured, the Golden Mei Li will have to be overhauled.
"Fortunately, I have the identity of a pirate and met these pirates." Qin Feng smiled slightly when he saw this.
Use these pirates to make the Wind Pirates lose their guard, and the barriers and coastal defense guns set up will become decorations. Then launch an attack, and the Wind Pirates can be suppressed.
Qin Feng knew that the captured pirates would definitely not be honest. It was reasonable for them to want to compete for the Golden Meili.
Pirates are naturally short-sighted, naturally good at plundering, and naturally rebellious. So it was no surprise that they wanted to compete for the battleship. What they didn't expect was that Qin Feng was also plotting against them.
You want battleships...but Qin Feng wants their lives!
"According to memory and intelligence..." Qin Feng thought: "The number of pirates in the Wind Pirates is around 5,000. There are currently 2 medium-sized ships, with an average of only 13 cannons per ship, and 10 small ships. On average, Each ship has only 5 guns..."
"There are a lot of supplies and a lot of money stored inside. There is a small shipyard with dozens of ship repair craftsmen inside."
Qin Feng thought of this and thought that this battle was already a sure thing.
At this time, the Golden Merli battleship had already approached the big iron chain. The pirates guarding the place couldn't help but tremble when they looked at the sudden appearance of the behemoth. They were about to sound an alarm immediately to remind the pirates on the island to pay attention, but when When they saw the black flag on the Golden Merli battleship, they were a little surprised and hesitant.
"Black Flag...is a pirate ship. Am I fooling myself? Can pirates have such a big ship?"
"What's going on? Why did I see a familiar person on that boat? He seemed to be the crazy captain..."
At this time, the crazy captain saw the outline of the main island in the distance and was very excited. As long as he reached the main island, the Golden Merli would be his!
He jumped excitedly onto the high platform on the deck, and cursed condescendingly at the pirates guarding the chain: "You bunch of idiots, why don't you quickly remove the barrier? Seeing that grandpa is back, you still dare to neglect me. If you want to die, just say it, grandpa, I will help you!”
The Crazy Captain is one of the three giants of the Wind Pirates. He has a bad temper and crazy behavior, and is the most feared existence among pirates.
The pirates guarding the barrier saw that it was him and were scolded again. They immediately did not dare to neglect and quickly removed the chains.
"Shadow!" The crazy captain yelled viciously, spat out his saliva, held his head high, and had fiery eyes.
Only then did the Golden Merli enter dozens of kilometers in front of the main island without any hindrance, and drove quickly towards the main island.
…
Pirate Island.
The guards were also shocked when they saw the sudden appearance of the Golden Meili.
When they saw the familiar faces waving their arms excitedly and the crazy captain standing proudly on the bow of the ship, they immediately dropped half of their vigilance.
"No way, isn't the crazy captain going to rob the armed merchant ship?"
"Then the armed merchant ship is too big. How did the crazy captain steal it?"
"You're stupid. This is called a battleship. It's an armed merchant ship. Your armed merchant captain looks like this."
"The battleship... hiss, it's so terrifying. How can a madman manage to get such a big guy? It's awesome!"
Although the guards were shocked by the power of the Golden Melly and shocked that the crazy captain could snatch such a big thing, they had to go and ask according to the procedures.
Otherwise...if the captain rebels and leads the enemy into the island, the island will be in dire straits.
Although the concept of this happening is extremely low, because the bounty for captain-level characters is very high, the end will be extremely miserable.
The ferry came to the Golden Merry, and after asking, it immediately returned to the main island, then eliminated the danger and spread the news that the mad captain had returned.
For a while...
On the entire island, thousands of pirates ran to the port, wanting to see what the battleship looked like.
The Golden Merry was getting closer and closer to the Pirate Island.
When the pirates on the island saw the Golden Merry, they were shocked by the powerful firepower and size of the battleship.
They couldn't imagine that there was such a powerful battleship in the world, which was simply ingenious and incredible.
Then they thought, if they could control such a battleship, it would be so majestic to travel across the ocean.
For a while, they were a little envious of the pirates who were cheering and jumping on the deck.
The pirates on the Golden Merry saw the island as if they had seen their home, cheering and jumping, and at the same time, each of them showed pride and pride on their faces.
Look, we have the strongest warship in history, the Golden Merry, which is no longer comparable to those guys driving small fishing boats.
The pirates suddenly felt like returning home in glory, which was even better than the feeling of returning home with the harvest after a successful robbery.
"Look, look at the envious expression of Gou Sheng, haha, it's really cool." The pirates on the ship laughed.
"Did you see Wang Dali's expression? He was drooling. He is really useless." The pirates joked.
"That's my brother, Dachui! He always looks down on me. Hehe, now you see how envious he is."
Just when the Golden Merry was about a mile away from the Pirate Island.
At this time, everyone on the Golden Merry could already see the crowd gathered in the port, as well as the ships in the port.
Suddenly!!!
The Golden Merry turned around, drifted to the extreme, and revealed the side of the hull!
The dense and ferocious artillery was now all aimed at the island, as if the god of death was staring at this place.
In the command room, Qin Feng was as steady as a mountain. He only heard him say calmly:
"Open fire!"
"Occupy the Wind Pirates!"
Chapter 428 Occupy
After Qin Feng gave the order.
The cannons on the side of the Golden Merry roared like a giant beast.
Balls of fire spewed out from the muzzles, and then dozens of kilograms of shells fell on the Pirate Island like raindrops.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In each round of volleys, the powerful recoil caused by the volleys of hundreds of cannons caused the Golden Merry warship to shake violently.
But at the same time, a gorgeous "fireworks" exploded on the opposite Pirate Island!
In the dazzling fire, the pirates who were still looking forward to it in the last second, at this moment, seemed to have encountered the end of the world.
Countless pirates died in the artillery fire, or lost their hands and feet, and let out a shrill scream.
This is because the Golden Merry did not target the pirates, otherwise the damage would not be so small.
The Golden Merry warship was mainly targeting the coastal artillery on the Pirate Island, and was the only one that could cause damage to the warship.
As the first round of artillery rain of shells from the warships fell, the pirates on the coastal artillery on the Pirate Island had lost more than 50%, and their morale was destroyed.
Then came the second and third rounds, and the pirates who were still in the range of the coastal artillery were all eliminated at this moment.
The pirates at the port were stunned at first, and then ran wildly after they reacted.
They didn't know why the Golden Merry attacked the Pirate Island.
The captain on that ship was obviously a madman, and there was a group of his own people, and they were also flying a black flag!
"Captain Madman has rebelled. He brought the Sea Lion Kingdom's Naval Corps to fight his own people!"
"Yes, yes, yes, that must be the case. Captain Madman must have been captured by the Sea Lion Kingdom's Naval Corps. He wanted to survive, so he made a deal with them, and we are part of the deal! Damn it, Captain Madman is so despicable!"
"Damn Captain Madman, I won't let you go even if I die!"
The pirates didn't know. They only knew that the Golden Merry was led in by Captain Madman, and now the Golden Merry is attacking the main island...
Then it must be that Captain Madman is colluding with the Naval Corps to wipe out the Wind Pirates!
At this moment, the pirates who escaped by chance hated Captain Madman so much that they wanted to eat his flesh and skin him.
Qin Feng stretched out the monocular telescope and looked coldly at the scene in front of him that looked like hell. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a smile.
At this moment, on the deck, the pirates looking at the scene in front of them had their heads in a mess!
Why... why did they attack the main island of the Wind Pirates!
The mad captain reacted immediately, and he roared: "Qin Feng!!!"
Then he was going to the command room to find Qin Feng to ask for clarification.
However, he had not taken two steps, wow!
Teams of elite sailors holding muskets pointed at the mad captain and a group of pirates. These sailors looked at the pirates with cold eyes, as if they were looking at a corpse, and at the same time, their fingers were on the trigger. As long as they were ordered, they would pull the trigger without hesitation and let the bullet penetrate the bodies of the pirates.
The mad captain became calm under the hundreds of muskets in front of him. He thought gloomily: "It turns out that all this is a trap!"
"Qin Feng has long wanted to deal with the Wind Pirates, so he pretended to take us home."
"Take advantage of our rapid advance and disarm our guard, and then launch an attack to minimize the losses."
