The facts were just as the soldiers had imagined.

During Fang Yu's continuous gathering of the pirates, his team was also being watched by the Purification Army squad.

It should have been watched...

After all, during this period, Fang Yu's constant recruitment of pirates wasn't exactly low-key.

As the team grew, it was bound to draw the Purification Army's attention.

However, the Purification Army did not immediately take action against Fang Yu and his group but instead watched Fang Yu's actions with keen interest.

"No rush, this guy seems to be gathering pirates, wanting to make a big move."

"Let him gather, it would be best if all the pirates were gathered at once, we can defeat them together, so we won't have to patrol everywhere, playing this cat-and-mouse game with the pirates, which is extremely annoying."

Three squad leaders of the Purification Army gathered together and discussed in low voices.

"Should we report to the captain, gather all the Purification Army squads to form a complete army, and encircle and sink these pirates!"

One of the squad leaders spoke softly to the other two.

After hearing his words, the other two glanced at each other and then slightly shook their heads: "It takes two hours to travel from here to the captain's camp. A round trip wastes four hours."

"Waiting for all the troops to be fully assembled could take about 7-8 hours."

"In 8 hours, it's highly likely that changes could occur."

"Moreover, such a major military operation could alert the enemies, causing the pirates to realize and hide again."

The three exchanged glances and saw the expressions in each other's eyes.

After a moment of consideration, the three made a decision:

Dispatch a soldier to the captain's camp to report the situation to the captain.

Once the captain hears of this, he will surely send reinforcements to support.

As for the pirates in front of them...

The three prepared to immediately intercept and eliminate this batch of pirates.

The three squad leaders commanded the Purification Army, consisting of a fleet of nine hundred ships.

Currently, the pirates had only three thousand ships.

On average, one regular army ship is equivalent to 5-8 pirate ships, although the three squad leaders commanded only about a third of the pirates' force.

In terms of actual combat power, the nine hundred ships of the regular army could be considered equivalent to 5-6 thousand pirate ships in strength.

The combat power is nearly twice that of the three thousand pirate ships!

As long as the three squads are combined, they can effortlessly annihilate the pirate fleet.

Moreover...

This is a perfect opportunity to earn merits. If they can lead the army to destroy three thousand pirate ships first, the three can surely emerge and advance their ranks among the ten squad leaders.

For public reasons, gathering the Purification Army would take too long and could alert the snakes, causing problems.

Their troops are already more than enough to annihilate the three thousand pirate ships ahead.

Privately, the three also wanted to take the opportunity to achieve merits and stand out.

Thus, after a brief calculation, the three decided to take action first and eliminate the enemy.

In any case... the captain has already given the order that if a large number of pirates are encountered, they can merge their forces with other squad leaders and jointly eliminate the pirates.

The captain's attitude was also very clear.

Annihilate the pirates!

As long as they can annihilate the pirates, it's a significant achievement, so there's no need to worry about acting first and reporting later.

Therefore...

At this moment, without saying another word, the three immediately gathered all their troops together.

A total of nine hundred Purification Army ships came together, forming an extremely formidable force.

The next moment, the three exchanged glances and immediately ordered:

"Purification Army, move forward."

"Target, the three thousand pirate ships ahead!"

...

"Captain, the big fish has taken the bait!"

On the Salted Fish, Wang Qing excitedly said to Fang Yu.

Actually, without him saying, the scene from Wang Qing's perspective had already been shared into Fang Yu and the others' view.

Through the Brain Domain Sharing, the scene Wang Qing saw was vividly transmitted into Fang Yu's mind.

In the image, a fleet of nine hundred armed sea vessels was rapidly heading in the direction of the group.

The movements of these armed sea vessels had long been seen clearly by Wang Qing using a soul-transformed telescope.

The current Salted Fish already possessed unparalleled long-distance vision abilities.

The armed vessels thought they were the hidden hunters, quietly watching Fang Yu's sea ships from a distance.

But what the squad leaders of the Purification Army didn't know...

Was that Fang Yu had already discovered their fleet.

With the advantage of super long-distance vision, the view range of the Salted Fish was many times larger than that of the Purification Army.

Upon discovering the Purification Army, Fang Yu didn't act rashly but pretended not to have noticed, continuing to gather pirate ships, strengthening his own power.

At the same time, he also made himself a bigger target, becoming a "big fish" in the eyes of the armed squad leaders.

However, what these Purification Army squad leaders didn't realize...

It seemed like they were nurturing the fish, but in reality, Fang Yu was nurturing those three big fish.

Initially, only one squad of the Purification Army noticed Fang Yu's fleet.

But as Fang Yu led this Purification Army squad, cruising around for quite a while, just like fishing, gradually attracted three squads in total, catching the attention of Fang Yu, leading to the scene where they combined forces and attacked Fang Yu.
