Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Chapter 271: Chapter 184: Fang Yu’s Scheme (Part 2)

Everything depends on the support from the Lighthouse Association.

The capability of a spy who has completely abandoned the credibility they spent years building is terrifying.

Misinformation abounds. Whatever Fang Yu wants to release, the Lighthouse Association releases in response.

The mix of truth and falsehood leaves everyone bewildered.

For instance, the hot market demand for living copper ore—more than half of its price was inflated by the Lighthouse Association to lure pirates into the Ijima waters.

This allowed the Duorong Federation’s military to establish a blockade around Ijima Island without firing a shot, forcing the warlords to mobilize their armies for rescue.

Then, quietly, information was released that the Pirate Alliance had entered the scene.

On one hand, it covered for Kong Huaao, enabling him to lead his troops to secretly ambush in the sea area.

It gave Kong Huaao’s army a “Pirate Alliance” identity.

On the other hand, it sowed distrust between the marine warlords and the Pirate Alliance, driving a wedge between them and eroding the possibility of their alliance.

…

The subsequent information, including the number of pirates and the transformation of the Pirate Alliance from whole to scattered across the sea, was also false.

There never was a Pirate Alliance; the pirates were fighting individually from the start, like a heap of loose sand, never unified.

The reason for conveying “whole” and then “scattered” was to make the marine warlords take it seriously and send a big target to these waters.

And the scattering forced this big target to splinter as well, allowing Fang Yu to lead his soldiers in picking them off one by one, while also luring the Purification Army away from Ijima Island.

…

Although, through such chaotic information, the Lighthouse Association would completely lose its reputation and credibility after this battle, with no one trusting it again.

But… does the boss of the Black Snake Gang care?!

They have secured arms dealership rights with the military factories, and it’s all legal. Who would bother with the thankless job of intelligence trading?

Under this multifaceted cooperation, Fang Yu… with a single point, leveraged the entire situation in the Ijima sea area.

This also set the stage for Ma Rui to be deceived into leaving Ijima Island, only to be surrounded in the sea by Kong Huaao, who had been lying in ambush there all along.

Kong Huaao, of course, is the backbone of Fang Yu’s strategy in this battle!

Currently, under Kong Huaao’s command, the Duorong Federation’s forces number two thousand warships.

Meanwhile, Ma Rui’s Purification Army also has two thousand warships.

The forces on both sides are evenly matched under the commanders’ military strengths.

But…

Let’s not forget that on site, there’s Fang Yu with over four hundred warships and close to two thousand five hundred pirate ships following him.

Furthermore…

The current positioning shows an encirclement stance…

The two thousand warships of the Purification Army are surrounded in the center by Fang Yu and Kong Huaao’s two forces.

Once encirclement is formed, the encircled army in the middle is at a disadvantage.

These two thousand warships might only muster the combat power of fifteen hundred ships, if they’re lucky.

Realizing this, Ma Rui felt a chill in his heart and deeply regretted not listening to his deputy’s advice to abandon the scattered approach for a unified command.

He should have secured the safe departure of their own cargo ships from the island with three thousand warships, transporting the living copper ore away.

Had that been the approach, he might have achieved nothing but also made no mistakes, certainly not ending up in such a dire situation.

Thinking of this, Ma Rui spoke loudly without hesitation, “Everyone, listen to my order, break through and retreat to Ijima Island with me!”

“Too late!”

Kong Huaao and Fang Yu shouted in unison, as the energy fluctuations within them burst forth.

“Attack!”

The two of them, without saying another word, led their respective forces in an assault on the Purification Army.

Beat the dog while it’s down!

In the front, Kong Huaao blocked the way, preventing the Purification Army from retreating to the island.

In the rear, Fang Yu led his soldiers and pirates in a frenzied attack.

“Kill!!”

Luo Kuan was seated at the rear of the ship cannon, issuing commands to the war squad crew behind him.

At that moment, his Alchemy义眼 exploded with a dazzling red light. Intense energy fluctuations burst from within Luo Kuan’s body.

“Boom!”

Under Luo Kuan’s control, a ship cannon imbued with thunder-fire enchantment was released, hitting a warlord’s warship attempting a panic-stricken breakout.

In an instant, the cannon fire tore through the ship’s shield, and another crew member coordinated to follow up with continuous cannon fire.

Cannonballs shot out like no one was keeping count, fired rapidly. Under the enchantment’s effect, it kept triggering thunder-fire, multi-hit effects, delivering astonishing output.

“Underwater combat team, let one remain to manage torpedoes with the war squad, the rest follow me into the water!”

Luu Yuan also shouted out, then took the lead in donning the diving suit.

With the Salted Fish continually completing missions, they gained monetary rewards from kills and shared wealth accumulated by Ma.

Luu Yuan and his team had already upgraded to top-quality diving suits.

At this moment, their suits emitted a brilliant sheen, enveloped in a shimmering light blue glow.

With the power level boost from Luu Yuan and the others, the backs of these diving suits were assembled with backpack-style cannon tubes.

Immediately, Luu Yuan and his team leaped into the ocean with explosive speed, darting out like fish.
