The rise of the poor

Chapter 2180 Failure

The Japanese pirates, including Black Dog, stealthily made their way onto the pier under cover of darkness. There were no Japanese pirates guarding the pier, so they easily made their way onto it.

"Pour grease onto the chains to avoid making a loud noise, quickly lower the fence and the sea-blocking chains, and welcome the leader's fleet into the port."

Remembering Mao Haifeng's warning, Black Dog ordered his men to pour grease onto the chains of the fence to prevent them from making a creaking sound. After pouring the grease, he commanded his Japanese pirates to put away the fence and the chains blocking the sea.

The port of Tsukishima was opened up smoothly by the Japanese pirates, including Black Dog.

"Send a signal to the leader immediately."

After opening the port, the Japanese pirates sent signals to the sea.

Their signal was simple: they would light four lanterns, hold them high with sticks, and draw circles in the air.

It was very open, and several lanterns lit up in the depths of the sea, flickering on and off. If you didn't look closely, you might mistake them for stars on the horizon.

When the Japanese pirates, including Black Dog, saw this, they were excited. Great! Their leader's fleet was just ahead.

The mission is complete. The leader's fleet quietly sails in, taking advantage of the fact that Xu San and his gang of Japanese pirates are still asleep on the island, to catch them off guard and ensure that Xu San and his gang of Japanese pirates will be history by the next day!

"What are you all doing over there?! Instead of guarding the gate properly, what are you doing waving lanterns around like that?!"

Just as Black Dog and his gang were getting excited, they suddenly heard a drunken voice coming from afar.

This is a drunken Japanese pirate leader, a mid-level leader on Tsukishima Island, who is in charge of dock management.

His room was more than 100 meters away from the dock. The rooms where the Japanese pirate Black Dog ordered his men to block the door were all close to the gate, within 50 meters of the gate.

Because the room of the Japanese pirate leader was far away, the pirate leader, Black Dog, did not have his men block the door.

The drunken Japanese pirate's room was situated on a hillside, offering a commanding view of the entire dock. He had deliberately chosen this room so he could maintain a clear view of the dock from within, allowing him to go back to his room and rest and get a good night's sleep. But if those brats dared to slack off, he'd teach them a lesson!

It was dark, and he couldn't see clearly. He could only see a few lanterns swaying in circles and blurry figures under them.

He got drunk during the day. Although he had a high alcohol tolerance, he couldn't withstand being plied with drinks by a group of people. He managed the docks, a safe and lucrative position that many people would kill for. By holding that position, he had offended countless people. Now that he had the opportunity, he was bound to be targeted.

So, during the day he was plied with alcohol and put to sleep, then sent to a room where he slept like a dead dog. In the middle of the night, he was woken up by the urge to urinate, and staggered out to the beach to relieve himself.

After relieving myself, as I was pulling up my pants, I suddenly saw dozens of dark figures on the dock waving lanterns at the sea.

Since he was still hungover, he just thought the gatekeepers seemed to have nothing better to do than go off to the beach.

"Quickly put out the lanterns!"

When the Japanese pirate Black Dog heard someone shouting from above, he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately ordered his men to blow out the lanterns they were holding.

"It's not too late to blow out the lights now! Instead of guarding the goal properly, you're running around the docks playing ball! Just wait and see how I deal with you tomorrow!"

When the Japanese pirate leader at Banpo saw that the lanterns at the dock had gone out, he cursed a few times, pulled up his pants, and turned around to go back to sleep.

Seeing that the Japanese pirate leader at Banpo had treated them like mere gatekeepers and hadn't retaliated, only saying he'd deal with them tomorrow, the pirates, including Black Dog, breathed a sigh of relief, having successfully survived their ordeal.

"I'll clean it up tomorrow, haha, you won't even see the sun rise tomorrow!"

Hu~hu~

Suddenly, a cold, biting sea breeze blew in, making the Japanese pirate leader, who was turning to walk back into the room, shiver and get goosebumps all over his body.

Damn this weather, it's so cold! I need to hurry up and get into bed and warm up! Those little brats guarding the gate are out at the dock waving lanterns and playing ball in this awful weather, aren't they cold? They really need a good scolding!

The Japanese pirate leader muttered to himself as he walked into the house. Just as he was about to push open the door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks!

The biting cold wind dispersed much of the smell of alcohol from his body, and his hangover brain began to work under the stimulation!

wrong!

wrong!

That's completely wrong!

The Japanese pirate leader immediately turned around and walked away quickly. The dock was pitch black and eerily quiet. In the distance, faint lights could be seen flickering on the sea, like stars on the seashore. But having spent many years by the sea, he knew all too well that these were not stars, but lanterns hanging on the bows of ships.

Lanterns with circles drawn on the dock! Lanterns on ships at sea!

This shows what!

This means the people on the dock were signaling to ships at sea! It's a coordinated attack from within! Coming in the middle of the night like this, it's immediately clear whether they're friend or foe! Whose friend is coming in the middle of the night?!

The Japanese pirate leader, drenched in cold sweat, sobered up instantly and shouted in a voice trembling with cold, "Wake up, everyone! There's a situation at the dock! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemies have infiltrated the island and are rescuing the people outside!"

"Something terrible has happened! There's an attack at the docks! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Wake up, all of you wake up! The enemy has infiltrated! If you don't wake up, your heads are going to be chopped off!"

The Japanese pirate leader ran around shouting at the top of his lungs.

Hearing the shouts and running of the Japanese pirate leader at Banpo, Black Dog, a Japanese pirate at the dock, was terrified. Pointing at him, he shouted to his men, "Quick, shoot him! Shoot him! Don't let him shout anymore!"

At Black Dog's command, the Japanese pirates with bows and arrows quickly nocked their arrows and fired towards the hillside.

Whoosh whoosh!

Arrows shot toward the hillside.

However, because it was too dark and there was no light on the hillside, the archers could not see the exact location of the pirate leader and could only shoot blindly by sound. Meanwhile, the pirate leader was running and shouting, so most of the arrows missed their mark.

These arrows further confirmed the Banpo pirate leader's judgment: the people on the dock were the enemy!

The ships that the enemy uses to provide support are naturally also enemy ships!

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Wake up! The enemy has invaded!"

The leader of the Japanese pirates at Banpo continued running wildly, shouting loudly.

"Damn it!"

Enraged, the Japanese pirate Black Dog snatched a bow and arrow from the person next to him, drew the bowstring taut, and the gleaming arrowhead slowly moved along the path of the Japanese pirate leader's voice on the hillside. Then, he suddenly released his grip, and the arrow flew away in a flash!

"what!"

A scream rang out, and the leader of the Japanese pirates at Banpo fell to the ground, abruptly ending the shouts of "enemy attack!"

However, the Japanese pirate Black Dog wasn't happy either, because the Japanese pirate leader on Banpo had shouted too much, and lights had come on in several rooms in the distance. (End of Chapter)
