The three squad leaders thought the encounter was a coincidence, but all of this was merely Fang Yu's calculation.

A true hunter often appears in the form of prey!

...

"These pirates have already discovered us!"

A squad leader from the Purification Army looked ahead, seemingly alarmed, while Fang Yu and the others began advancing forward, smiling involuntarily.

In front of him, the speed of this group of pirate ships was so slow, they were utterly incapable of matching the Purification Army.

Regular military vessels absolutely outclass pirate ships in both combat power and speed.

What does it matter if the pirate ships see them?

It's too late.

When the enemy sees us, it means the distance between both sides has already closed significantly.

At this distance, with the pirate ship's poor speed, there's absolutely no escape from the Purification Army's encirclement.

"Catch up, the enemy wants to flee!"

The three squad leaders of the Purification Army exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and immediately led the nine hundred ships behind them swiftly forward.

In a charging state, they continued to dash towards the squad led by Fang Yu.

Unaware that as they chased the pirate fleet deeper, they were moving further from the main camp on Ijima Island, forming a separation with it.

A lone army penetrates deep!

However, the three very confident squads of the Purification Army didn't think of this at all.

The enemy is about to flee, pursuing is a very normal thing.

Who would suspect anything?

"Hmm?"

Just then, one of the squad leaders suddenly uttered a soft sound.

He saw that the pirate ships opposite had all stopped, then turned their bows, and incredibly rushed towards them.

After seeing this scene, he was slightly stunned, then laughed lightly.

These pirates must have realized they couldn't escape and wanted to execute a comeback, trying to catch them off guard and win the battle.

Indeed, surprise troops often yield magical effects.

The difference in strength between the two sides is only double; if the troops are used wisely, there's indeed a chance of victory.

But...

The "surprise" of surprise troops mainly lies in the element of the unexpected.

Now, due to the difference in vision between the Transcendent and the disparity in equipment, our side can clearly see the enemy's movements, while the opponent can barely discern a military presence here.

The difference in vision range means the Purification Army can clearly control the pirate's movements.

No matter how "unexpected," it won't have any effect anymore.

However...

As experienced commanders, the three squad leaders of the Purification Army exchanged a glance and loudly addressed the troops behind them:

"Stay sharp and put forth your best effort; the enemy's pirate ship numbers are many, and if we're careless, we might fall into a trap."

"Do not underestimate the enemy, give it your all."

"Everyone, follow orders, ships, attack!"

Both sides quickly charged towards each other at this moment.

As the sea ships face each other, soon the distance closes into attack range.

"Attack!"

"Ship cannons, fire!"

The squad leader of the Purification Army showed firm resolve in his eyes, shining with a ray of rationality.

High-level, highly modified ships have a significant advantage over low-level, minimally modified ships!

Attack range!

Enhancements and enchantments all bring improvements to attack range, resulting in...

Right now, the distance between both sides is exactly within the attacking range of the Purification Army, while the pirate ships cannot attack them.

This is the best attack distance, and the best moment to establish warfare advantage.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The artillery roared out of the Purification Army's barrels, instantly falling into the pirate fleet.

Soon, the foremost pirate ships in the front line were shattered in the artillery barrage, as their shields only held for a mere few seconds before being blown to pieces by the shots from the Purification Army.

Upon seeing this scene, several squad leaders of the Purification Army couldn't help but relax slightly, and with their minds eased, saw the smiles in each other's eyes.

Indeed, it's pirate ships.

Most of these pirate ships can only resort to choosing cheap second-hand, obsolete goods due to poverty.

Despite being ships, the opponent's ships couldn't even withstand our first round of attack.

They shattered instantly on the spot.

Direct confrontation between two armies greatly depends on the effectiveness of the first round of attack.

If one side suffers heavy losses while the other remains unharmed.

This usually brings about a significant morale gap.

Sure enough, after the first round of attack, some pirate ships in the fleet seemed to become fearful and began to waver.

Energy Level fluctuations scattered wildly.

On the contrary, the morale on the Purification Army's side soared, united, with aura and Energy Level fluctuations linking into a cohesive, sharp, and resolute battle spirit.

"Record the number of sunk ships, report the military merits later,"

The squad leader from the Purification Army, feeling quite good, said to the soldier beside him.

"Charge, raise morale to the highest, and take them down in one go."

Another squad leader beside him suggested.

After hearing his proposal, the other two nodded lightly.

The first strike had remarkable effects, and morale had already surged.
