Chapter 172 Crazy x Exposed
But the next second, he rolled twice on the deck to avoid the dense rain of bullets.
After Lake stood up, he looked at the approaching soldiers and thought quickly about how to escape.
He glanced at his flagship out of the corner of his eye.
Just one glance and his eyes were bloodshot.
Three shells whizzed away and hit the deck of the flagship, causing a raging fire.
Lake felt a little desperate.
He scanned the other pirate ships again to see if there was a chance to rob one and escape directly.
Unfortunately, after observing the situation, he discovered in despair that the pirate alliance had become trapped.
Now, unless dozens of ships watching the battle nearby intervene in this war, the pirate coalition can gain a glimmer of hope.
Otherwise, the pirate alliance will be wiped out.
However, how could the forces watching the battle nearby take the initiative to intervene in this war?
Even if they intervene in this war, they will definitely stand on the same front as the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Any force with a sound mind would never speak for pirates in public.
Of course Lake knew these things too.
Even though other forces acted very righteous when he discussed with others to jointly deal with the Kingdom of the Netherlands, that was actually all an illusion.
They just wanted a vanguard, and the Lake Pirates, as pirates who did all kinds of evil, had the right height, weight and shape.
Regardless of whether they succeed or fail in the end, they can sit back and relax.
Just like now, even if the Lake Pirates are about to fail, they can still remain indifferent.
It's just a loss of some supplies, which is a drop in the bucket compared to our own losses.
Thinking of this, Lake's heart gradually sank to the bottom.
A flash of madness flashed across his eyes, and he thought, "If I continue like this, I will only be exhausted to death. I might as well fight to the death. Even if I die in the end, I can make life difficult for the Kingdom of the Netherlands."
Lake is also a decisive person. After making up his mind, he mobilized all his energy and prepared to transform into a beast to kill everyone in the area.
The next moment, he stopped transforming.
Because he accidentally caught a glimpse of a warship slowly sailing out from the original audience seats.
This unexpected change suddenly gave Lake a little hope.
Better to die than live.
Who would want to die if they could live?
This is especially true for a pirate like Lake who has both power and status.
"An unexpected event, an unexpected event." Hungry, who was broadcasting live, was also attracted by the warship that suddenly entered the battlefield.
"Everyone, please look, an unknown large warship suddenly inserted into the battlefield. I don't know what it intends to do."
"Is it here to help the Dutch Navy? Or..." Hungry pondered.
Seeing this, the people in front of the live broadcast were also talking about it.
"This ship is obviously a warship. It should be here to help the Dutch Navy, right?" someone speculated.
"I don't think so. The victory of the Dutch Navy is already certain. Why would it come out to help now, instead of earlier or later? In my opinion, this guy probably wants to take advantage of others." The person next to him retorted and gave his own opinion.
Moreover, his analysis is well-reasoned and convincing.
"By the way, which force does that battleship belong to? Coming out to disrupt the situation at this time, are you crazy?" someone asked in confusion.
"I don't know him. He should be a force in the West Sea."
"The flag looks like a white crescent, but I don't have much impression of it." People were guessing the identity of the person who came.
The pirate coalition also discovered the warship heading towards them, and some hope appeared in their eyes.
"Hold on! Someone is here to help us." A few smart people immediately began to boost morale.
The warship that suddenly appeared was quickly stopped less than a kilometer away from the Dutch Navy.
"Who are you? You have entered the bombardment range, please stop immediately."
"I repeat, please stop immediately."
One broadcast after another came from the loudspeakers of the Dutch Navy warships.
Upon hearing this, the warship tactfully stopped about a thousand meters away from the Dutch Navy.
The Dutch Navy did not stop its shelling, but instead quietly turned many of its guns towards the newly appeared warships.
"Master, if I am not mistaken, this should be the battleship of the Tsuda family."
"The flag on the battleship should represent the Tsuda family." Kerrigan reported.
"Tsuda family? Sounds familiar." Xia Jieren touched his chin and thought.
"I reported this to you a few days ago."
"The Tsuda family controls Fantasy Moon Island and is quite hostile to the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce," Kerrigan reminded.
"Uh~, is that so?" Xia Jieren still couldn't remember.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
The Tsuda family is just a small role to him.
"What are they here for?" Xia Jieren asked curiously.
Litt and Butler Gil also showed curious expressions.
"There should be someone from the Tsuda family in the pirate alliance."
"Just now when the Tsuda family's ship appeared, people on the two large ships of the pirate alliance cheered." Kerrigan called up the surveillance footage and explained.
"Well, there are weird things every year, but this year there are especially many."
"The Tsuda family is here this time not to ask us to let the pirate alliance go, right?" Xia Jieren guessed with a constipated look on his face.
"Probably not. Maybe he just wants us to let the remaining members of the Tsuda family go." Kerrigan retorted.
"Grass (a kind of plant)!" Xia Jieren cursed directly.
"These guys are just wishful thinking."
"They tried to cause trouble for me secretly, and after failing, they still wanted me to let them go."
"There's nothing wrong with their brain circuits, right?"
"And the Tsuda family, a family name with a strong sense of easy living, how can I let it go easily?" Xia Jieren said with a sinister smile.
He began to think about how to concoct these shameless things.
Things turned out just as Kerrigan had deduced.
After the Tsuda family's warship was parked, they began negotiations with the Dutch Navy.
"Soldiers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, please show mercy when you can."
The Tsuda family's opening remarks were very simple, and Hungry smiled in a very unkind way after hearing them.
"Haha~~, which force is this funny guy from?"
"Why would you say such stupid things?"
The audience before the live broadcast were stunned for a moment, and then burst into cheerful laughter.
"This guy is here to make fun of me."
"Whose idiot is this? Take him away quickly and stop making me laugh."
"..."
The audience was overjoyed at the Tsuda family's funny remarks.
After hearing this, Xia Jieren burst into laughter, "If I had such a funny subordinate, I would be too embarrassed to face people."
"Just ignore him." Xia Jieren ordered.
"Yes!" Zheng Hai faithfully carried out Xia Jieren's orders.
"But is this okay? Will they just attack directly?" Litte asked worriedly.
