Chapter 7

"Ha ha! Of course! Captain, although we are pirates, we are men of our word! You can rest assured, now we are all in the same boat, and we will definitely keep our promise!" Long Yufei patted the bearded captain's shoulder and said with a smile. This time, the诱导killing of the British warship 'Coventry' was largely due to the help of this bearded captain. Otherwise, Long Yufei and his men would never have succeeded.

"Of course, I believe you, sir!" The bearded captain quickly replied. With Long Yufei's assurance, he finally felt relieved! Now, he could only choose to trust Long Yufei and his men. Assisting these pirates in killing British naval soldiers was a serious crime! If it were to leak out, he would definitely be sent to the gallows by the British. The already struggling Kingdom of Spain could not protect him at all. Therefore, he could only hope that this matter would never be discovered by anyone else.

At this moment, the battle on the 'Coventry' cruiser was coming to an end. In close combat, the British soldiers equipped with muskets were no match for the pirates armed with steel knives. The fierce pirates were like tigers charging into a flock of sheep, ruthlessly slaughtering the British soldiers! The pirates' ferocity was displayed to the fullest. At the same time, it also showed the weakness of the firearms of this era. The complicated and cumbersome loading process meant that once in close combat, muskets were less useful than a simple stick!

"Oh God! These damned pirates, they are devils!" The captain of the 'Coventry' cruiser, Lieutenant Adam, looked at the pirates in terror. Although he had already killed a pirate with his musket, he now had no time to reload!

"No! I don't want to die here! I want to go back to England!" a young British soldier shouted. He threw away his musket, knelt on the deck, and raised his hands in surrender to the pirates.

As more and more British soldiers raised their hands and knelt to surrender, this brutal battle came to an end! The British Navy's 'Coventry' cruiser suffered heavy losses, with over a hundred crew members, more than half of whom were casualties, and the rest were kneeling in surrender, including Captain Adam. The pirates, on the other hand, suffered minimal losses. During the battle, only about ten people were injured, and most of them were lightly wounded.

"Round up all the British! Search the entire ship, don't let a single British man escape!" Luo Sangu stood majestically on the deck, issuing orders. Despite the blood that had already stained her body, it was all the blood of the enemy, and she herself was unharmed.

"Boss, what do you plan to do with these British?" Long Yufei came from the 'Black Pearl' to the deck of the 'Coventry' cruiser. The battle was over, so he no longer needed to stay on the 'Black Pearl'.

"These British? Kill them all and throw them into the sea to feed the fish!" A hint of hatred flashed in Luo Sangu's eyes! Her father had been killed by the British, which made her extremely hostile towards them!

Long Yufei nodded. This ambush on the British Navy's 'Coventry' cruiser was very risky. Even though they had succeeded by chance, they could not be careless! Not a single one of these British could be spared. If any of them leaked the information, they would be doomed! The British Empire had already established its position as the world's dominant power! After Napoleon's France was defeated, Britain's strength was unprecedented. Especially the British Navy, which was the best in the world! According to Long Yufei's knowledge, at this time, the main warships of the British Navy were third-rate ships, with a total of over eighty to ninety ships. The powerful British fleet patrolled the world's oceans, and a single third-rate ship could easily wipe out all the pirates on Fiyu Island! After all, such an ambush on a British Navy warship was something the British could never tolerate, as it was a serious provocation!

"Since you agree, sir, we will take action!" Luo Sangu said. Long Yufei's agreement to kill all the British was unexpected. However, this also made her think more highly of him. At least, Long Yufei's current behavior was becoming more and more like a pirate! A pirate? If they weren't ruthless, could they still be called pirates?

"Boss Niu, find some men to take care of these British, and then throw them into the sea to feed the fish!" Luo Sangu said to a middle-aged pirate.

"Yes, Boss!" Liu Lao Da replied with a smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He was an old-timer on Fiyu Island and one of the many pirate leaders.

Liu Lao Da led a few pirates out of the crowd, walked to the captured British, and dragged them out.

"No! What are you going to do? We have already surrendered, you can't do this to us!" The surrendered British soldiers shouted in terror.

"Oh God! You are mistreating prisoners, the British Empire will not let you off!" a British officer shouted. But then he could no longer speak.

A few pirates dragged a few British soldiers to the bow of the ship, covered their mouths, and slashed their throats with daggers, causing blood to spurt out. The pirates then threw the dead British soldiers into the sea. The sea was already filled with sharks that had smelled the blood. When the British soldiers' bodies were thrown in, the sharks immediately fought over them. For the sharks, this was undoubtedly a feast!

"Oh God! Devils! You are devils!" the captain of the 'Coventry' cruiser, Lieutenant Adam, cursed. However, the trembling of his legs betrayed his fear.

"Please, spare me! I don't want to die here!" some British soldiers cried, and many were so scared that they wet themselves.

The pirates seemed to be accustomed to life and death, and they were indifferent to the British soldiers' pleas for mercy. To them, killing these British was no different from slaughtering chickens! Being a pirate meant being ruthless! Mercy to the enemy meant cruelty to oneself!

This was the first time Long Yufei had seen such a scene. Although the previous battle was also filled with blood and severed limbs, the execution of these prisoners still made him feel uneasy. After all, he came from a modern society over a hundred years later. The protection of prisoners of war in that era was much stricter than it was now. In this era, human life was not considered very important!

However, when he thought about how these British were the main culprits behind China's suffering for over a hundred years, Long Yufei's resolve hardened! The expansion of these colonial powers was always filled with bloodshed! In the eyes of Western whites, they did not consider other races as human, whether it was the bloody plunder in the East or the bloody colonization around the world, it was always filled with slaughter! Long Yufei told himself that since he had come to this era, he had to adapt to it and truly integrate into it!

"These British cannot be spared. If we let them go, we will be the ones to die! Just treat them like pigs!" Long Yufei said to himself.

Suddenly, he noticed that one of the British lieutenants among the prisoners was acting abnormally. All the British prisoners were screaming in terror and begging for mercy, but this British lieutenant was very calm, with a look of hatred in his eyes. Long Yufei noticed that his bound hands had somehow been freed, and a dark gun barrel was hidden behind the prisoner in front of him, already aimed at Luo Sangu.

"Damn it! Boss, be careful!" Long Yufei shouted and lunged towards Luo Sangu.

"Bang!" The gun went off. The pirates who were executing the British prisoners were stunned, but then they shouted and rushed towards the prisoners, their steel knives quickly slashing. Soon, the deck was awash with blood!

At this moment, Long Yufei had no time to pay attention to the chaos. He felt a heavy impact on his shoulder, followed by a burning pain, and then numbness and loss of sensation. Luo Sangu had been knocked to the deck by his lunge. If it weren't for Long Yufei, that bullet would likely have hit her in the chest. Long Yufei felt himself fall onto a soft body, but before he could savor the moment, everything went black, and he fainted.

"Mr. Long? Mr. Long? Are you okay?" Luo Sangu shouted in panic. She was no longer concerned that Long Yufei's head was buried in her chest. His bravery in the crisis, shielding her from the bullet, left her heart in turmoil.

After an unknown amount of time, Long Yufei finally regained consciousness. The first thing he felt was the burning pain in his shoulder. He now realized how close he had come to death. If the bullet had hit a vital spot instead of his shoulder, he might have been dead! If he died again, would he have another chance to time-travel? At least, Long Yufei believed that such good fortune would not happen to him again!

The pain made Long Yufei groan, which woke up Luo Sangu, who was watching over him.

"Mr. Long, you're awake?" Luo Sangu said softly, her voice filled with relief.

"Cough! Boss, where are we?" Long Yufei's voice was hoarse.

"We are on our way back to Fiyu Island. This is the cabin of the British warship!" Luo Sangu explained.

Long Yufei nodded. It seemed that the British prisoners had been dealt with, and they were now on their way back to Fiyu Island. He couldn't help but feel relieved that his life was still strong.
