Chapter 7: Becoming a Hero Once

Long Yufei nodded. This time, the ambush on the British Navy's cruiser "Coventry" was extremely risky. Even if they had succeeded by chance, they could not afford to be careless! Not a single one of these British should be let go; if news leaked, they would be doomed! The current British Empire has already established its position as the world’s hegemon! After the defeat of France led by Napoleon, Britain's power has become unprecedentedly strong. The British Navy, in particular, is the strongest in the world! According to Long Yufei's knowledge, at this time, the main battleships of the British Navy were third-class battleships, totaling more than eighty, nearly ninety. The powerful British fleet roamed the world's oceans, and just one third-class battleship could wipe out all the pirates of Flying Fish Island! After all, such an act of ambushing British naval vessels is something the British absolutely cannot tolerate; it is a serious provocation against them!

Suddenly, he noticed that among the group of captives, there was a British lieutenant officer who appeared somewhat unusual. At that moment, all the British captives were screaming in terror, pleading loudly for mercy. However, the British lieutenant officer seemed very calm, his eyes filled with a gaze of hatred. Long Yufei observed that his bound hands had somehow been freed, and a dark gun barrel was concealed behind the captive in front, already aimed at Luo Sangu.

"Since the gentleman has agreed, let us proceed!" said Luo Sangu. Long Yufei's agreement to eliminate all these British individuals was quite unexpected for her. However, it also elevated her opinion of Long Yufei significantly. At the very least, Long Yufei's current demeanor was increasingly reminiscent of a pirate! A pirate, you say? If one does not act ruthlessly and decisively, can they still be called a pirate?

We are on our way back to Flying Fish Island. This is the cabin of a British warship!" Luo Sanggu explained

At this moment, the battle aboard the cruiser "Coventry" was nearing its end. In close combat, British soldiers armed with muskets were no match for the pirates wielding cutlasses. The fierce pirates charged into the ranks of British soldiers like tigers among sheep, mercilessly slaughtering them. The bravery of the pirates was vividly displayed at this moment, while also highlighting the weaknesses of firearms in this era. The complex and cumbersome reloading process meant that in close quarters, a musket was less effective than a mere fire stick.

Uncertain how much time had passed, Long Yufei finally regained consciousness. His first sensation was the searing pain radiating from his shoulder. Reflecting on it now, he felt a twinge of fear; had the impact struck a more vital area instead of his shoulder, he might have been doomed. If he were to meet his end this time, would there still be a chance for him to traverse again? At the very least, Long Yufei believed that such fortunate occurrences would not repeatedly fall upon him.

Of course, I believe you, sir!" Captain Big Beard quickly replied. With Long Yufei's assurance, he finally felt relieved! He could only choose to trust Long Yufei and his companions now. Assisting these pirates in ambushing British Navy soldiers was a serious crime! If this were to leak out, he would certainly 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 others.

Long Yufei nodded, realizing that the British prisoners of war had been dealt with. They were now on their way back to Feiyu Island. Long Yufei couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, as it seemed that his life was still relatively secure

"Oh God! Devils! You devils!" Captain Adam of the cruiser "Coventry" exclaimed in anger. However, the trembling of his legs revealed his fear at that moment

At this moment, Long Yufei had no time to concern himself with anything else. He only felt a heavy impact on his shoulder, followed by a sharp pain that quickly turned numb, leaving him without sensation. Luo Sangu had already been knocked down to the deck by him; had it not been for Long Yufei, that bullet would likely have struck her directly in the chest. Long Yufei felt himself falling onto a soft body, but before he could savor the moment, his vision darkened, and he lost consciousness.

We cannot let these British people go; if we do, we are doomed! Just treat them as if they are pigs being slaughtered! Long Yufei silently told himself

"Mr. Long, are you awake?" Luo Sangu said softly, her voice conveying a sense of surprise.

Long Yufei was seeing such a scene for the first time. Although the previous battles had also been bloody and chaotic, the execution of these prisoners of war still made him feel somewhat uneasy. After all, he came from a modern society over a hundred years in the future, where the protection of prisoners of war was much stricter than it is now. In this era, human life is not regarded as very important

"These British people? Kill them all and throw them into the sea to feed the fish!" A glimmer of hatred flashed in Luo Sanggu's eyes. Her father had died at the hands of the British, which made her harbor a deep resentment towards them

The pirates seemed to have long been accustomed to life and death, regarding the pleas for mercy from these British officers with indifference. For them, killing these British men was no different from killing chickens! Being a pirate requires ruthlessness! Mercy towards the enemy means cruelty towards oneself

Due to the pain, Long Yufei could not help but let out a groan. This startled Luo Sangu, who was guarding by his side.

"Old Bull, gather a few people and take care of all these British. Then throw them into the sea to feed the fish!" said Luo Sangu to a middle-aged pirate.

"Put all these British people under guard! Search the entire ship, not a single British person must be overlooked!" Luo Sanggu stood majestically on the deck, issuing commands. Although her body was already stained with blood, it was all the blood of the enemy, and she herself was uninjured

Oh God! You are mistreating the captives; the British Empire will not let you go unpunished!" an officer of the British Army reprimanded loudly. But then, he was left speechless.

"No! What do you want to do? We have already surrendered; you cannot treat us this way!" shouted the terrified British soldiers who had surrendered.

Several pirates dragged a number of British soldiers to the bow of the ship, covered their mouths, and viciously slashed their necks with daggers, causing blood to spurt out. The pirates then threw the slain British soldiers into the sea. By then, many sharks, attracted by the scent of blood, had already gathered in the water. As soon as the bodies of the British soldiers were tossed overboard, the sharks immediately began to fight over them. For them, this was undoubtedly a sumptuous feast

As more and more British soldiers raised their hands and knelt in surrender, this brutal battle had come to an end. The British Navy's cruiser "Coventry" suffered heavy losses, with over one hundred crew members, more than half of whom were casualties, and the rest all kneeling in surrender, including Captain Adam. On the pirate side, the losses were minimal. During the battle, only about ten individuals were injured, most of them with minor wounds.

"Yes, indeed, the boss!" laughed Old Liu, revealing a set of snow-white teeth. He is an elder of Flying Fish Island and one of the many leaders among the pirates

"Oh God! These damned pirates, they are nothing but devils!" Captain Adam of the cruiser "Coventry" looked in terror at the pirates. Although he had previously killed one of them with his firearm, there was no time for him to reload now

"No! I do not want to die here! I want to return 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.

However, the moment he thought of how these British were the main culprits behind over a century of colonialism in China, Long Yufei's resolve strengthened! The expansion of these colonial powers was always drenched in blood. In the eyes of Western whites, they did not regard other colored races as human beings at all; whether it was the bloody plunder of the East or the brutal colonization across the globe, it was filled with slaughter! Long Yufei told himself that since he had arrived in this era, he must adapt to it and truly integrate into this time!

Haha! Of course! Captain, although we are pirates, we are also people of our word! Rest assured, we are all in the same boat now, and we will definitely keep our promise!" Long Yufei said with a smile, patting the shoulder of the bearded captain. This time, successfully luring and ambushing the British warship "Coventry," the bearded captain played a crucial role; otherwise, Long Yufei and his crew would have never succeeded.

"Boss, how do these British intend to handle this?" Long Yufei had come up from the 'Black Pearl' to the deck of the 'Coventry' cruiser. The battle had already concluded, so he naturally no longer needed to stay on the 'Black Pearl'.

Cough! Chief, where are we?" Long Yufei's voice was somewhat hoarse

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

"Please, spare me! I don't want to die here!" some British soldiers cried, many of them so frightened that they lost control of their bladders and bowels.

"Mr. Long? Mr. Long? Are you alright?" Luo Sangu shouted in a panic. At this moment, she could no longer care about Long Yufei's head buried in her bosom. Long Yufei stepped forward in a crisis to shield her from the gunfire, which left Luo Sangu, who had never experienced such things before, feeling flustered.

Old Liu led several pirates through the crowd, approached those pirates who were being guarded, and then dragged them out.

Bang! The gunshot rang out. The pirates executing the British prisoners were momentarily stunned, but soon they began to shout and charged at the British captives, wielding their steel knives and striking down with increasing speed. Before long, the deck was awash with blood
