"Fine, once they leave the setup coordinates, we won't need to attack those engineers and theologians. Otherwise, if something happens, the Duorong military won't let us off."

This ship was a warship.

On the warship, the outer armor gleamed with a sharp metallic shine, with a faint flow of light on top, filled with a thick energy level fluctuation that instilled terror.

The captain of this warship was Li Xun.

He was from the Li Clan.

Li Xun's gaze was fixed on the sea ahead, which at the moment was utterly dark. Night had fallen, painting the outside world into a dim, obscure space.

Even for a Transcendent, the visibility was quite low.

However, Li Xun was not worried. The warship's lookout had been enhanced, and with the far-sighted talent crewmen atop, it was easy to pierce through the darkness and lock onto Fang Yu's ship.

"The Wang Clan provided us with the information and evidence of Fang Yu killing Ah Tao and Tianyu. It's no surprise they intend to use us as a tool to do the deed."

"But Fang Yu killed so many of the Li Clan's heirs that he certainly deserves to die."

"Once Fang Yu is dead, I'll approach Wang Ruiyang to make him compensate the Li Clan with some benefits."

Li Xun murmured, speaking to another crew member beside him.

The person beside him was his cousin, Li Zhuang, but upon entering this world, his cousin did not develop a lord panel and became a crew member instead, with Li Xun taking him onto his ship.

He was now considered the core confidant of Li Xun.

At that moment, Li Zhuang glanced at Li Xun, then questioned doubtfully: "Brother, Fang Yu is merely a Ship Level captain."

"There is an insurmountable gap between a warship and a ship. To deal with Fang Yu alone, any of our warships can be dispatched at random. Why do we need to go ourselves?"

All major clans have warship captains under their service, and the Li Clan was no exception.

To Li Zhuang, they could simply order a warship to come over and destroy Fang Yu, which didn't require such an elaborate effort for Li Xun to personally venture out.

Upon hearing his cousin's words, Li Xun shook his head and spoke quietly: "Perhaps you don't know... Lin Hua died, and it was at Fang Yu's hands."

"Lin Hua's ship was of a Warship Level."

Li Xun squinted slightly, speaking in a low voice.

"What, Lin Hua is dead?"

"Yes!"

"Died at the hands of Fang Yu. I don't know how he did it, but his ship evidently isn't an ordinary Ship Level vessel. Taking extra caution and bringing along two more warships isn't a problem."

Li Xun looked ahead, ready to order the crew to return to their posts and prepare to face the enemy.

At this moment, a voice came from the lookout above: "Captain, Fang Yu's ship isn't continuing to flee; instead, it's navigating straight towards us."

"Oh?" Li Xun chuckled: "They spotted us? Mistook us for ordinary pirates?"

"Very well. Initially, I thought we'd need to put some effort into catching up with Fang Yu, but now that he's coming straight at us, we can settle this quickly."

Li Xun was very confident. He considered Fang Yu the prey, and himself the hunter.

As long as they caught up to Fang Yu, Fang Yu was destined to die.

But just then, the sailor on the lookout suddenly shouted loudly, "Captain, something's not right! There's a light beam gathering on the enemy ship."

"Even though there's still about 10 nautical miles between us and them, they're already preparing to attack."

"They're preparing to attack?" Li Xun was stunned, then realized: "They're probably planning to use the Long-Range Cannon to preemptively strike and establish an advantage, right?"

Thinking of this, Li Xun couldn't help but laugh quietly.

The Long-Range Cannon, with its long charge time and cumbersome barrel.

Despite its immense power and long range, and often delivering a disproportionately devastating effect when it hits.

But...

The opponent seems to underestimate us a bit?

As an experienced warship captain, Li Xun had also used the Long-Range Cannon to attack distant enemies before, successfully sinking the opponents' ship by fighting above his weight class.

He was very familiar with this, knowing the Long-Range Cannon's weaknesses and how to evade it.

Thus, he didn't pay it much mind.

"Keep advancing, shorten the distance. Once they release their attack, immediately activate the propulsion devices, and have the three warships accelerate while the other ships remain in place."

"After the long-range attack concludes, continue to follow."

Li Xun commanded casually, familiar with how to respond to long-range attacks, and immediately made his judgment.

But at this moment, the lookout crew member suddenly shouted urgently and nervously, "Captain, no, it's not the Long-Range Cannon! The enemy's attack is coming directly at us, it's not the Long-Range Cannon!"

"Not the Long-Range Cannon? Then what is it..."

Li Xun was puzzled.

But before he could react, he felt an incredibly terrifying energy level wave suddenly transmit from afar.

As the power conveyed itself, everyone's hairs stood on end.

It was as if they were facing a natural disaster, a force belonging to a different level altogether.

It descended with a destructive might.

The next moment, all eyes instinctively turned towards the source of the energy level wave.

They saw a brilliant and dazzling beam of light tearing through the darkness of the sea, erupting from the distance.

In the instant the light shone, everyone caught a glimpse of a figure, tall and upright, standing firm over the dark ocean.

The light sparkled, as if divinity itself descended.
