In fact, it was not necessary for the Earl of Black Tortoise, Jin Zhuo, to take down Gold Mountain Island.
After winning the war at moon Cliff Island and taking down raging tide city, Gold Mountain Island would not have a big problem.
He was a conservative person and wouldn't look down on the world just because he won the battle of gazing Cliff Island.
The defending general of the gold Mountain Island was Qiu Hao, the adopted son of Qiu Tianwei. He might not be a famous general, but he was definitely not easy to deal with.
Moreover, there were 5000 soldiers on the island.
Although uncle Black Tortoise had more than 100 pirate ships and 4000 men, he only had less than 500 veterans. The rest were either new recruits or militia.
He wouldn't fight the battle at Gold Mountain Island if he didn't have an 80% chance of winning, even if he had Tang Lun with him and even if they could pretend to be Pirates.
