Chapter 401 - “The Grizzly Pirates Are Crippled.”
Lei Luo walked up to the stage and put on the command hat that Zha Mu had left behind.
Although they were filled with a deep-seated hatred for Lei Luo, the pirates in the command module all acknowledged that Lei Luo was indeed a genius commander.
The remaining 1,000 warships were almost in a state of chaos.
Under the command of Lei Luo, in just three minutes, they had basically returned to normal.
His instructions were detailed to every ship, and the frequency and level of detail that each ship received was also something that the pirates had never heard of.
It was under the detailed operation of Lei Luo that the light transport ships with fewer pa.s.sengers and lower value were placed at the front.
After that were the heavy-armored ships with powerful firepower and strong defense, followed by the frigates and other auxiliary ships.
It should be said that this arrangement was rational enough.
But at the same time, it was also cold-blooded enough because it was clear that the pa.s.sengers on the light transport ship would be cannon fodder.
One had to know that even if they were not destroyed by the last volley of shots from "Holy City of Beauty."
They wouldn"t be able to escape the attack of the heavy armored defense forces that were already in the air and ready for battle.
Even Lei Luo was prepared for the mutiny of the light transport forces when he gave this order.
He was also prepared to make s.p.a.ce for the ships behind them to allow the light transport forces to retreat.
However, what surprised him was that there wasn"t a single light transport ship that was retreating.
They faithfully carried out Lei Luo"s orders.
Only, on the command crystal, different kinds of words kept flashing.
These were all the last words left by the members of the light carriers to their families.
Witnessing all of this, Lei Luo understood why a small pirate group like the Grizzly Pirates had never had a great leader.
They had been able to survive for so many years in the cruel world of the empire entirely on their own.
All of this was because of the terrifying cohesion between them.
At this moment, Lei Luo felt a little regretful. He thought that he might have been wrong.
He had sacrificed something that should not have been sacrificed.
However, this was not the time for Lei Luo to think too much.
This was because the fleet was close to the moment when the enemy was about to fire their cannons.
Lei Luo opened his eyes and stared at the crystal. He watched as the brilliant multi-colored light burst out from the countless cannons and gathered in the empire. Finally, it swept into the grizzly pirate fleet and turned into a white light.
"All remaining transport ships, retreat. Heavy armor and escort the main a.s.sault. The other auxiliary ships will a.s.sist in shooting."
"Other than heavy armor, all ships will completely abandon their shields. All their energy will be converted into offensive energy. Shoot! Each ship will choose their target."
Before the white light dissipated, Lei Luo immediately shouted the order.
Now that they were in close combat, both sides were too close to each other. Courage was more important than strategy.
Therefore, there was no need to make any detailed commands.
Everything seemed to have been rehea.r.s.ed according to the script. When the white light dissipated, the heavy armor defense team of the city went into battle.
Their last defensive force went into battle.
When they had just appeared on the battlefield, they were hit by a volley of shots from the fleet of the Grizzly Pirates.
Before they could figure out what was going on, they had already lost half of their heavy armor.
Among them, the captain of the defense fleet was also hit.
With the battle going on like this, there was no suspense at all.
The fleet of the Grizzly Pirates, which had the upper hand, easily broke through the defense of the defense fleet of the city.
With only sixteen heavy-armored defense fleets remaining, the fleet announced their surrender. They had finally taken down the city.
And as the price, the Grizzly Pirates were completely crippled.
Among the sixteen heavily armored ships that surrendered, the Grizzly Pirates only had 70 or so heavy armor, 100 or so guards, and 300 or so support ships.
When they received the surrender message from the defensive fleets, the pirates that were originally amazed at Lei Luou"s commanding ability immediately raised their swords and aimed at Lei Luo, who was their commander just a second ago.
At this moment, Zha Mu slowly returned to the command cabin.
When he pa.s.sed by Lei Luo, he paused for a moment before walking straight to the chair next to him and sitting down.
Zha Mu turned his head and looked at the remains of the ships in the sea. He calmly asked, "You are extremely intelligent. Did you ever think that you would be bleeding on the spot today?"
"I have thought about it, but the probability is very low."
"Just because of your lie, our pirate gang was crippled. Do you still think the probability of me killing you is very low?"
"When the flowers wither and fall into the soil, there"s no use crying anymore. The only way is to wait for spring to come."
Lei Luo took a deep breath and slowly turned around to face Zha Mu.
"The Grizzly Pirates" loss is already an established fact. Even if you kill me now, you can"t take it back. But, if you kill me, you"ll lose the benefits I promised you."
"If I kill you, I"ll still s.n.a.t.c.h the city."
Zha Mu clenched his right fist, his veins popping out.
But he still managed to speak in a low voice. It was obvious that he was trying his best to control it.
"That"s right, but what about after that? Will the alliance give up? Can you withstand their pursuit? With your current strength, I"m afraid you won"t be able to last a month."
"Until now, you still dare to imagine that our grizzly bear pirates will listen to you?"
The corner of Zha Mu"s mouth curled up, revealing a smile that was a little out of control.
"There"s something I"ve said before, and I"ll repeat it to you today. A responsible person has no right to be childish."
After Lei Luo said this, he strolled over to Allie"s side.
"Let"s go, it"s time for us to leave."
"Stop!"
Zha Mu stood up abruptly and let out a loud roar. This roar was deafening.
Even Allie was so nervous that her hair stood on end. She was ready for battle, and she was ready to respond at any moment.
Lei Luo, on the other hand, was still very relaxed. Zha Mu"s loud roar only made him pause for a moment.
Then, he continued to walk forward.
Zha Mu pulled out his sword, pointed at Lei Luo, and said, "Give me...Stand still!"
Allie"s hair stood on end, and she was about to make a move, but Lei Luo reached out and pulled her back.
Allie never expected that Lei Luo"s strength would be so great. He could pull her back with just a stretch of his hand, and she couldn"t move at all.
This shocked Allie to the extreme.
"This...What kind of person is he?"
"Leader, look..."
