Finally, there was a pirate group called the Mad Python Pirates, who, after multiple failed negotiations, decided to retaliate!
The leader of the Mad Python Pirates, Mad Tiger, was also a ruthless character with multiple lives on his hands. He had always been the one to bully others and never suffered any losses. After being disciplined by Liu Kai Xuan with his head held down for over a month, Mad Tiger’s mentality had completely exploded!
Mad Tiger dispatched some of his most loyal subordinates to carry out the attack. Several subordinates disguised a pirate ship as a fishing boat and waited for an opportunity to approach Liu Kai Xuan's oil tanker fleet. After successfully closing in on their target, they launched a fierce attack on the oil tankers. Once the attack was successful, the assault team immediately escaped the ambush area by diving underwater to evade pursuit by drones.
The purpose of this plan was not to plunder resources. As arrogant as Mad Tiger was, he didn't dare to directly confront the buzzing drones in the sky. Encouraged by Mad Tiger, a few petty pirates set sail in their disguised fishing boat.
Today, Liu Kai Xuan's fleet was heading out to transport oil. To prevent pirate attacks, Liu Kai Xuan had specifically increased sea patrol efforts. Numerous drones conducted a sweeping search and patrol along the shipping route. Any suspicious vessels were to be warned and driven away. That's right, Liu Kai Xuan's methods for dealing with pirates were extremely overbearing. Even legitimate fishing boats were not allowed to linger in the alley areas for extended periods. During the specific times when the transport fleet was at sea, the measures were even more aggressive. The drones would even use armed deterrence to drive away any unknown vessels attempting to approach the transport fleet.
The sneak attack squad dispatched by Mad Tiger, just as they entered the shipping lane, were spotted by the drones whizzing overhead. After a drone identified a suspicious vessel, it would hover and monitor the sky around the suspicious boat. If any anomalies were detected, it would immediately initiate an attack. These inconspicuous little devices had caused great suffering to the pirates. The reason the drones did not immediately attack at this moment was primarily because the pirates had not yet revealed their weapons. Once they displayed offensive weapons like rifles and cannons, the drones would definitely take action, and it was possible that they would have been attacked by drones even before they could launch their own assault.
The captain of the assault squad was a scar-faced man with a brutish appearance, looking very fierce. The pirates affectionately called him "Scar Master." This Scar Master was an absolutely formidable individual! Everyone in his crew was desperate, their attacks were extremely vicious, and he had multiple lives on his hands. However, even someone like Scar Master found himself in a very difficult situation under these circumstances.
"Damn it! These little planes circling in the sky are too annoying!" Scar Master couldn't help but curse, "Why are they staring at me so intently, not letting up?" "With them watching us like this, how are we supposed to operate!"
A short, lean man on the side said, "Brother, I think Mad Tiger is sending us to our deaths!"
"What do you mean, you brat?" Scar Master suddenly became furious, grabbed the lean man by the collar, and retorted sternly, "If you dare disrespect Tiger Master again, I'll skin you alive!"
The lean man replied with a wry smile, "Scar Master, please calm down. I really didn't mean to go against you!" "Those little planes circling in the sky are all equipped with cameras!" "They can see our every move on the ship!" "We need to conduct thorough reconnaissance to attack the moving targets on the sea! After obtaining enough intelligence through reconnaissance, we can formulate an operational plan! Then, we need to set up cannons on the deck and adjust the firing parameters! Only after all preparations are complete can we fire!" "Do you think those drones circling in the sky will give us this time?"
Scar Master thought for a moment and replied, "How about this, we can cooperate with each other to carry out the operation!" "After we detect the enemy's position, I'll shoot down the planes in the sky with my gun!" "While you seize this opportunity to bombard the target!" "Fire all five cannonballs, and whether they hit the target or not, jump into the water and escape immediately!" "As long as we can put enough pressure on Liu Kai Xuan, this mission will be considered a success!"
"This..."
As the short pirate hesitated, Scar Master directly pulled out a knife from his pocket and held it to his neck. "A'gua, you don't want to live anymore, do you?" "How dare you question my orders, you..."
"Thump, thump..." While Scar Master was threatening the short pirate, A'gua, two pirates behind him suddenly drew their swords and stabbed Scar Master fiercely in the back. Before Scar Master could even react, he was stabbed through and died on the spot!
"Thud..." Scar Master's body fell heavily to the ground. A'gua stepped on Scar Master's neck and said fiercely, "You dog, I've tolerated you for a long time!" "When I started out as a pirate, you were still wearing split pants!" "You ungrateful wretch!" As he spoke, A'gua kicked Scar Master's body a few more times. Then, A'gua signaled his subordinates to hoist the pre-prepared white flag at the bow of the ship.
The white flag signifies surrender. The drones circling overhead, which had been preparing for combat, saw the white flag fluttering from the bow, circled a few times, and gradually left the area. A'gua and his brothers had been planning this operation for some time. When Mad Tiger decided to assign A'gua's team to carry out the retaliatory attack, A'gua already felt that his team had been abandoned by Mad Tiger. It was a joke to think they could escape from under the drones' guns, how could it be that simple? Pirate ships were all small, outdated wrecks. Launching an attack under the surveillance of drones was tantamount to suicide. Even ants cling to life, let alone a group of living people. Attacking meant death, and not attacking meant they couldn't face Mad Tiger back home. Moreover, the Scar Master who had just been present was a "supervisor" sent by Mad Tiger, and now even this supervisor was dead. They definitely couldn't go back to the Mad Tiger Pirates. What could they do? They could only hoist the white flag and surrender to Liu Kai Xuan. The scar-faced man would be their declaration of allegiance to Liu Kai Xuan. Liu Kai Xuan was highly welcoming of the surrender of the A'gua pirate squad. Furthermore, in order to set a good example for the pirate forces in the sea.
