Attack of Anger Gang_2 Chapter 588: Chapter 48 Crisis!

Attack of Anger Gang_2 …

At the confluence of the sea and river water, the Anger Jiaolong warship faced the wind and waves, cleaving through the water.

At the same time Chen Fanghua’s trade fleet noticed the Anger Jiaolong warship, Zhao Wu Qing’s party also discovered Chen Fanghua’s fleet.

“Great Commander.”

“Judging from the flag and lineup of that trade fleet,” said a man named Lu Jinyi, whose eyes resembled those of a hawk, “it seems to be the Hundred Islands Trading Team, recently expanded by the Chen Clan.”

“Hundred Islands Trading Team?” Zhao Wu Qing slightly narrowed his eyes, “Looks like Chen Clan’s business is growing, just their trade fleet for one direction in the Hundred Islands Guard has as much as five large merchant ships.”

“Indeed, as the Chen Clan grows stronger and stronger, it has already overwhelmed the two 9th-rank aristocratic families, the Li and Jiang families in Donggang,” Lu Jinyi said, “They now occupy 90% of the trade share in Donggang, and over 30% of cargo transportation within the realm of the Hundred Islands Guard.”

Lu Jinyi is the commander of the Jiaolong Gang’s branch Jiaolong Business Bank stationed at Changning Guard, and he’s well versed with affairs big and small within Changning Guard.

Yes, the “Jiaolong Business Bank” is indeed the officially registered business name of the Jiaolong Gang with the government office.

… This is similar to Earth’s “organizations,” which usually changed their names to companies, a clever shift in designation.

“Thirty percent, huh.” Zhao Wu Qing snickered, the greed in his eyes evident, “The Chen Clan of Donggang, not even a 7th-rank Aristocratic Family.

Taking advantage of their alliance with the In-Laws Alliance of Changning Guard and the name of the Dan Tai Clan of the Eastern Sea, they are awfully greedy and domineering.

No wonder the Jiang and Li families of Donggang willingly transferred their share of Donggang Port to our Jiaolong Gang.”

“Lu Jinyi, give the order to intercept this trade fleet.”

Lu Jinyi’s complexion changed, he hurriedly replied: “Great Commander, I heard that the deputy commander of this trading fleet is Chen Xiuwu, the direct line successor of the Chen Clan.

This kid is also the nephew of Wang Shouzhe from the Wang Family of Changning.”

Although Wang Shouzhe is not a Tianren realm cultivator, his position in Changning Guard is extremely prestigious.

Even other Tianren realm cultivators from major families are willing to accept orders from him.

It is because of him that the various major families in Changning Guard are closely united.

But the reason why “closely” is used is naturally because not every family will submit to the Wang family.

Some small families have suffered suppression and losses due to the rise of the Wang family’s in-law alliance.

For example, the Jiang and Li families from Donggang are indignant but dare not speak out.

But once they get a chance, they ally with the Jiaolong Gang, a major power.

“Wang Shouzhe?” Zhao Wu Qing sneered, coldly mocking, “Previously, he refused to concede anything during our negotiations with the Jiaolong Gang several times.

An insignificant family head, relying on his support in the Purple Abode Academic Palace, foolishly believing himself to be the local overlord.”

“First, capture this trade fleet and capture the young clan leader of the Chen Clan alive.” Zhao Wu Qing’s scarred, one-eyed face twisted with a cruel smile, “Then, let’s have a talk with Wang Shouzhe about our Jiaolong Gang’s decision to station in Donggang.

We have been too polite to Wang Shouzhe before.

An insignificant local tyrant, giving him some respect, he actually took our Jiaolong Gang for granted.”

Even though Lu Jinyi felt this was inappropriate and felt that the Great Commander was underestimating Wang Shouzhe, he was well aware of Zhao Wu Qing’s temper.

Being defiant to him would lead to severe consequences.

Immediately, he gave the order: “The Great Commander orders, the entire Angry Jiaolong warships to march forward, our target is the Chen Clan trade fleet.”

The signalman waved the flag.

Three Angry Jiaolong warships were dispatched simultaneously, forming a å…« character shape and, like a pack of wolves, rushed towards the five merchant ships.

……

“Has Jiaolong Gang gone mad?

They dare to attack our merchant ship just outside of Donggang?” Chen Fanghua’s face darkened, “Quick, send for help to Donggang.”

Merchant ships were also armed.

Besides Chen Fanghua who is in the Spiritual Platform Realm, there were also a dozen or so Qi Refinement Realm house heads or clansmen, in addition to six to seven hundred regular ship crew members.

They could easily handle disorganised small-scale pirates, independent cultivators, or Level Three or Four fierce beasts.

But to face the Anger Jiaolong warships of the Jiaolong Gang that were built for battle, they were not in the running.

With Chen Fanghua’s command.

“Bang!

Bang!

Bang!”

Strings of fireworks were released into the sky.

Even under the bright daylight, it lit up half of the sky in red.

At the same time.

Five gigantic merchant ships began to turn their hulls, gradually making their way towards Donggang Port.

Due to their design, these colossal merchant ships had large hulls and waistlines that could carry more cargo but were quite clumsy in speed and direction changes.

…

“Do they think they can escape?” Zhao Wu Qing sneered coldly.

“How foolish of them.

Do they think the Jiaolong Gang is all bark and no bite?”

“Clang, clang, clang!”

On the ship bow of the Jiaolong Battleship, several large ship-mounted crossbows fired first, shooting thick crossbow bolts whistling through the air.

These crossbows were made of spirit wood, and high-rank fierce beast tendons were used as bowstrings, so their power was way beyond the crossbows on Earth.

They were usually used in large-scale wars, or city defense, or to counter beast tides, all with astonishing effectiveness.

One shot had the power to pierce a Level Three fierce beast.

Dozens of them together could even frighten a Level Five fierce beast away.

Moreover, they were quite effective in naval battles.

After all, the ship’s speed was slow, and the target was massive.

One of the bolts hit a deckhand on the deck, piercing him and the deck itself.

“Damn Jiaolong Gang!”

The young and vigorous Chen Xiuwu felt a surge of anger.

“Fight back, fight back, use those Divine Might Cannons that my uncle sent for testing!”

Upon his command.

The head of the household moved.

On one side of the trading flagship, the thick waterproof oilcloth was torn open, revealing several gigantic cannons made of fine iron.

They were fixed on the hull, but their barrels could be adjusted through winches.

These Divine Might Cannons, painstakingly developed by the Wang family, were designed by Wang Shouzhe, based on his imagination and limited theoretical knowledge.

Then, they were carefully crafted by a few low-level Artifact Refiners in the family, gradually forging the prototype Divine Might Cannons.

Their power was immense, but they were very cumbersome.

Each one of them weighed several thousand jin, so even for a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator, moving them was not an easy task.

The reason why Wang Shouzhe constantly invested resources to explore the initial technology of the “Divine Might Cannon”, other than its low technical threshold, was mainly because Ping’an Town was located on the periphery.

Once a beast tide occurred, it would be the first to be hit.

He had never forgotten the hardship the Wang family endured while resisting the beast tide.

Even without the rebellion, the loss to the Wang family would have been substantial.

Moreover, that was merely a beast tide led by a Level Five fierce beast.

What if a Level Six or even Level Seven beast tide happened?

Undoubtedly, the Divine Might Cannon is one of the weapons with the lowest development threshold and the highest cost-effectiveness against the beast tide.

Of course, if you want to use it to fight a Tianren Realm Cultivator, that’s sheer daydreaming.

They are far more agile in the sky, even more so than fighter jets, considering the twists and turns they can make without any concern for consumption.

Just like the crossbows, the Divine Might Cannons were also very suitable for battleships.

Wang Shouzhe held high expectations and ambitions for the expansion of the seas.

Those heads of households controlling the Divine Might Cannons had undergone initial training.

Although they were clumsy due to nervousness, their advantage was their great strength.

Even as Qi Refinement Cultivators, they were far stronger than ordinary people on Earth.

Soon, relying on the turn of the winch, they quickly adjusted the position.

Following the previous instructions closely, they ignited and fired the cannons.

The huge iron balls roared out.

However, due to the rolling tide, it wasn’t as simple as shooting on land.

The first two Divine Might Cannons fired heavy iron balls into the water, splashing huge waves.

Even so, it gave the members of the Jiaolong Gang quite a fright.

What was that thing with such a formidable power, much fiercer than a crossbow?

Fortunately, the third Divine Might Cannon was lucky.

The iron ball followed a parabolic trajectory and smashed onto the deck.

After causing the deck to splinter, it bounced forward, and two of the Qi Refinement Gang members were brutally crushed on its bouncing path, shattering into several pieces…

The iron ball, pulling along a string of flesh and shattered pieces, crushed the stern and fell into the sea.

In an instant!

The Jiaolong Battleship fell into silence.

The gang members and the commander turned pale.

What was that?

It could actually crush people…

…
