"Captain, what do you say? Should we go over and take a look?"
At this mont, Ma glanced at Fang Yu, seemingly guessing what Fang Yu was hesitating about, and then leaned over to Fang Yu’s side, speaking to him.
"No rush!"
Fang Yu glanced at the sea ahead and then smiled, "Attacking now would at best take down 300 of their ships, and they’d beco alert, not giving us any more chances."
"If we’re going to make a move, it has to be significant enough so that all our preparations don’t go to waste!"
After hearing Fang Yu’s words, everyone couldn’t help but feel strange inside.
We only have a configuration of over 400 ships; attacking one of their squads we could manage.
But if two or three of their squads join forces, their battle strength would be stronger than ours.
Then it wouldn’t be us attacking them, but them besieging us.
The captain must understand this, yet he still wants to take down more of their ships, looking quite confident.
Could the captain have another trick up his sleeve?
Everyone was curious, but Fang Yu didn’t say much more and ordered the ships to keep sailing forward.
After sailing for about another hour.
Just then, Wang Qing at the lookout couldn’t help but shout loudly to Fang Yu:
"Captain, ahead is a pirate fleet with a configuration of over 200 ships, heading towards us."
"Spotted pirate ships?"
Fang Yu’s eyes lit up, and without saying anything further, he ordered the ships to sail towards the pirate fleet.
"Everyone listen up, slow down, don’t attack after seeing them, behave as if you’re pirate ships!"
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, everyone reacted with surprise, vaguely guessing what Fang Yu intended.
Then, each of them cheerfully slowed down their ships.
On the way here, the ships had already been decorated with paint, canvas, and ornants, fully resembling pirate ships.
It’s ti to test our ability to disguise!
With a mischievous sense of amusent, everyone imdiately sailed the ships toward the other fleet.
...
Soon, a pirate fleet of about 200 ships appeared in their sight.
The distance between the two sides wasn’t far; they could see each other.
Upon spotting Fang Yu and his group, the pirate fleet jumped like startled birds, wanting to quickly escape.
But the pirates ca to their senses and looked closely.
Whoa?
Isn’t it our own guys?
What the heck...
Why run then?
The pirates abandoned the idea of fleeing and directly headed toward Fang Yu and the others.
Getting ready to et.
...
As Fang Yu and his group saw the pirates coming towards them, they exchanged glances.
A slight smile appeared on their faces.
Their disguise seed successful, as the pirate fleet indeed mistook them for pirates.
As they watched the pirates coming, everyone instinctively looked toward Fang Yu at the forefront.
The captain (lieutenant) surely had a plan, and they eagerly awaited what would happen next.
The two sides gradually approached, less than 500 ters apart.
Soon, everyone saw Fang Yu waving and shouting to the other side:
"Damn it, don’t co forward, there’s a military fleet behind us, so brothers are trapped and likely won’t make it."
"Quickly turn around, quickly turn around!"
Fang Yu shouted loudly.
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, the pirate leader was shocked and imdiately ordered the pirate ships to turn around.
While turning around, the pirate leader looked over at Fang Yu and asked loudly, "Brother, you look unfamiliar, where do you co from?"
Fang Yu glanced at the pirate leader with a slight smile, not answering the question.
The pirate leader seed to realize he had asked a foolish question.
He scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, then shook it, "The sea isn’t safe anymore; there are sweeping military fleets everywhere, these bastards split into ten squads, their ships are everywhere."
"Staying here has beco very dangerous. If it weren’t for the alliance’s orders, I would’ve left."
"Let’s observe for another couple of days. If it stays dangerous, I’ll disregard those alliance orders. Life is more important!"
The pirate leader spat into the sea, looking quite annoyed.
"Why go?"
Fang Yu glanced at him, then casually spoke, "Honestly, I’ve received new orders from the alliance."
"The alliance wants us to band together, reform from scattered to united, seize opportunities to ambush enemy squads, and take one or two down first."
"Once they regroup, we’ll scatter again and continue with guerrilla tactics."
"After several tis, we’ll simply take over Ijima."
"All those Living Copper Ore would be ours; wouldn’t that be hugely profitable!"
Fang Yu spoke boisterously to the pirate leader.
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, a cautious look flashed in the pirate leader’s eyes. He squinted and looked at Fang Yu, "Did the alliance really order that? Why haven’t I received it?"
Fang Yu glared, "Didn’t I just tell you? You’ve heard it now, right?"
"Uh..."
The pirate leader remained hesitant, looking at Fang Yu’s group with suspicion.
But Fang Yu’s ships, after being disguised, indeed resembled pirate ships, not looking like military or Blue Star Captain’s ships at all.
