Pirates would buy firearms and place them on their ships. When they encountered merchant ships, they would first attack with firearms, and after causing significant loss of life on the merchant ship, they would then close in, board the ship, kill people, and loot goods.
Li Tao and the others had encountered pirates at sea before, and facing these two ships now felt just like dealing with pirates.
"Could they really be pirates?"
Pu Shou looked at Li Tao.
Although the matter of the goods couldn't be explained, it's unlikely pirates would deal with sea merchants so properly, but after the confrontation, that's the feeling it gave him.
Li Tao looked at the sea with a cold expression.
Thick smoke billowed toward them in the wind, and the firearms they faced today were different from any they had seen before; the smoke was extraordinarily dense, gradually obscuring everyone's vision.
Moreover, the smoke stung their eyes, causing non-stop coughing.
