Chapter 2940: You're Acting

Su Xiao looked at the Duke in front. Although he had been at odds with the Duke before, this was his first meeting with the other party.

The elite pirates under the Duke were really too many, nearly 2000. If this was the Duke's strength, the other party would not be on equal footing with the other three great pirates.

Inferring from this, the Duke had borrowed external force. The most likely thing was that the other party had united with one of the Twin Towers Empress or the Black Witch Priest. The Black Witch Priest basically did not participate in the competition for the Sea King horn. In this way, only the Twin Towers Empress was left.

If this was the case, then everything could be explained. The other party was not here for a decisive battle, but for negotiations. Bringing so many people was to grasp the initiative. Otherwise, when their side's Cursed Ones and the West Sea King's remnants were in a chaotic battle, the Duke would have led people to join the battle group.

The atmosphere was almost frozen. In such a big scene, even the elite pirates behind the Duke couldn't help but feel nervous.

Su Xiao raised his hand and looked at Brigadier General Murray on the right. Half a kilometer away, Brigadier General Murray stepped forward.

"Brigadier General!"

Brigadier General Murray's adjutant was full of anxiety. At this moment, approaching the two sides in confrontation was an extremely dangerous thing.

Brigadier General Murray ignored his adjutant. He walked forward at a not-so-fast pace and finally stopped more than ten meters away from Su Xiao, saying: "Bai Ye, I have something else to do, I'm leaving first."

"Hmm."

Su Xiao was very satisfied with Brigadier General Murray's decision. Brigadier General Murray was a very good collaborator and was not blinded by the immediate interests.

Before the war, Su Xiao and Brigadier General Murray had already negotiated. Brigadier General Murray was responsible for preventing any third-party forces from entering. As a reward, the West Sea King's territory would be taken over by Brigadier General Murray.

At this moment, Brigadier General Murray withdrew, not because he was fleeing from the battle, but because he temporarily gave up the West Sea King's territory. This was the result Su Xiao wanted.

The Duke and the Twin Towers Empress had reached a cooperation, so the Duke brought so many elite pirates, many of whom were people under the Twin Towers Empress. This was the situation Su Xiao least wanted to see.

After the Duke arrived, he did not immediately make a move, which meant that the other party wanted to talk and did not want to have a chaotic battle here. The reason was that a part of the pirates he brought could at most play a role in supporting the scene. If they really fought, these people would withdraw immediately.

Su Xiao would not let the Duke and the Twin Towers Empress continue to cooperate; the threat was too great. It had to be admitted that the current *Doom* could not fight against two great pirate forces at the same time.

The method to break the cooperation between the two sides was very simple: throw out a big cake. If this big cake was given to only one person, wouldn't the other person be jealous after seeing it?

The West Sea King's territory was a big cake that both sides found hard to refuse. As for whether the two sides would split it equally, please don't joke. The Duke's territory was adjacent to the West Sea King's territory. On the other side of the Duke's territory was the Twin Towers Empress's territory.

If the Twin Towers Empress obtained half of the territory here, then the Twin Towers Empress's territory would sandwich the Duke's territory in between. Could the Duke endure this? Letting other great pirates' ships sail wantonly in his waters? As long as the Duke was not mentally retarded, he would not allow such a thing to happen.

The Magic Sea was very large and could accommodate four overlords, as well as the 'Giant' in the south, but the West Sea King's 'Xige Sea Area' could not accommodate two overlords.

Brigadier General Murray also saw through this point, so he chose to withdraw. He had no loss this time, and the price of fighting hard with the current Duke was too great.

"The West Sea King is still so brainless."

The Duke shook his head, took out a horn from his arms, and threw it to Su Xiao.

【Notification: You have obtained the Sea King horn (1/3).】

Counting the two sections of the Sea King horn Su Xiao already had, he could now piece the Sea King horn together completely.

"The West Sea King's territory belongs to you."

Su Xiao put away the Sea King horn. The situation was smoother than expected, or rather, the Duke had calculated the Twin Towers Empress, and he had calculated her quite thoroughly.

Su Xiao looked at the remnants under the West Sea King. At this moment, they could no longer continue to fight. The Duke and the Twin Towers Empress were both present. If they fought again, they might be left here today, which would not be worth the loss.

The conversation between Su Xiao and the Duke was very simple, but it made the two pirate leaders behind the Duke feel cold. These two people were Bai Yin Snake, Xiulu, and Heart-Piercer, Letitia. They were the confidants of the Twin Towers Empress. This time they came to support the Duke.

Heart-Piercer, Letitia, lowered her head, and the black twin-tower tattoo on the back of her hand lit up with a faint light. Her aura began to change; it was the Twin Towers Empress temporarily occupying this body.

The Twin Towers Empress looked around. She was called by her subordinates and didn't understand the situation.

"You have come. If there is nothing else, take your people and leave my territory."

The Duke spoke without looking back. Hearing his words, the Twin Towers Empress showed coldness in her eyes.

"My Lord, let's withdraw."

Bai Yin Snake, Xiulu, beside the Twin Towers Empress, spoke.

"Why?"

The Twin Towers Empress felt very blocked in her heart. Her plan had not yet unfolded, and she was just going to withdraw like this?

"My Lord, we cannot fight against the *Doom* and the Duke's plunder group at the same time."

"You didn't say that earlier."

The Twin Towers Empress was certainly not stupid. Without too much information, she judged what was going on. But there was one point she couldn't understand: was the Duke really satisfied with what he had now?

Thinking of these, the Twin Towers Empress's blood pressure soared. Not only did the 'little boat of friendship' between her and the Duke capsize, but when she was kicked off the boat, the Duke also stabbed her.

"Duke, you did something to that piece of Sea King horn of mine, didn't you? Did you send someone to steal it? Not those water ghosts from the *Doom*?"

"Yes."

"Admitting it is good, very good."

Leaving this sentence, the Twin Towers Empress took people to withdraw to the edge of the island. She didn't leave, but was prepared to watch and wait for Su Xiao and the Duke to fight because of uneven distribution of spoils.

"Bai Ye, you have already seized the Sea King horn. What are you going to do next?"

The Duke spoke with a casual attitude. Regardless of what conflicts he and Su Xiao had before, now that the interests of both sides were consistent, they could cooperate. This was a pirate.

"Use it for collection."

Su Xiao stood up and walked to the edge of the island. At this moment, all three sections of the Sea King horn were in hand. He was prepared to find a suitable place to lure the strongest sea beast, and then take its essence. The strongest sea beast was full of treasures.

But before that, Su Xiao had to solve another heart-worrying problem. The West Sea King had already been cleaned up, and it was time to deal with the other ticking time bomb.

The *Doom* set sail and headed straight for a certain sea area.

After sailing for about three hours, the surrounding sea wind whistled, and a storm was coming.

"Baha."

Su Xiao took a lantern from beside the door of the captain's room. Baha grabbed it and flew up, hanging the lantern on the bow of the ship.

After repeatedly confirming that no one was following, the *Doom* sailed into the black mist vortex. On the way back to Mingguang Island, it was necessary to prevent enemy surprise attacks. At this time, the *Doom* was very fragile.

The broken blood moon hung high in the sky. The *Doom* docked at the pier. The Cursed Ones detached from the ship's hull. Having just finished a great battle, they all wanted to rest for a moment.

Su Xiao jumped off the ship and walked toward a wooden house. Pushing open the door of the wooden house, he saw the face of the Sea-Attached One on the wall.

"Sea-Attached One."

"Did more Cursed Ones die in the battle?"

"Yes."

"For them, this counts as a relief."

As the Sea-Attached One spoke, its mouth, which was composed of trees, split to an exaggerated degree.

Su Xiao took out 14,100 gold coins. 282 Cursed Ones had died in battle. This return to Mingguang Island was to replenish the number of Cursed Ones.

After paying the Magic Sea gold coins, Su Xiao returned to the deck of the *Doom*. In about half an hour, more than two hundred Cursed Ones with different appearances stood on the pier.

The crew on the *Doom* became stronger the more they fought. When these Cursed Ones broke free from the black mist, they had to start competing for the few qualifications. Later, when fighting against strong enemies, those with average strength all died in battle, and those who could survive were basically outstanding in strength.

"Get on the ship."

Su Xiao stepped on the deck under his feet, and all the Cursed Ones turned into black shadows and submerged into the ship's hull.

The *Doom* sailed into the black mist vortex. When it reappeared on the Magic Sea, it was already pouring rain.

Raindrops hit Su Xiao, bringing a cool feeling. He controlled the Cursed Ones to take in the sails.

The sky in the storm was pitch black, bean-sized raindrops poured down, and the angry waves surged. The Magic Sea seemed to be angry, intending to swallow everything on the sea.

A purple lightning bolt slid down, silently, and it took a while before a loud bang of *crack* appeared.

On the sea swept by the angry waves, a black shadow swept through the water. Several nautical miles behind, a figure riding on a wooden board and holding a paddle was chasing. It was Gluttony, and he hadn't given up yet.

Gluttony's mental power was connected to a blood bead beside him. He could feel that the enemy in front had slowed down.

"Finally can't hold on anymore? Nothing more than this."

Gluttony half-crouched on the wooden board. His hands reached into the sea. After brewing for a moment, he waved his hands, and he himself, along with the wooden board under his feet, rushed out.

Gluttony stepped on the wooden board and paddled. In the pouring rain, he vaguely saw something in front, very large, and judging by the shape, it was a large ship.

In front, on the sea beside the *Doom*, a Cursed One pressed one hand on the ship's hull. It was home, and the enemy behind was still chasing.

Around the *Doom*, black shadows appeared in the seawater, heading straight for the direction where Gluttony was.

Gluttony, who was paddling, lowered his body and looked around. He found that the situation was a bit wrong.

"It seems... I chased the wrong person. Firefly, what exactly did you see before you died?"

The wooden board under Gluttony's feet gradually stopped. He felt that his teammate, Firefly, was acting him with his life. ===== CHAPTER 2941 =====
