The Blue Star Captain from Qiyun Port watched as warships sailed from afar, poised for action, and couldn't help but sigh softly, speaking in a low voice.

It's a pity that everyone knows, these people from the conglomerates, let alone helping the Blue Star Captain, would be considered good if they didn't suppress the ordinary Blue Star Captains.

It's truly regrettable, the combination of power and influence is even greater in changing human nature than power alone.

Many people have already lost themselves, their hearts inflated, believing they would become a local tyrant.

...

Meanwhile, on Fang Yu's side, he wasn't idle in these two days either. He continually discussed the hijacking matters with Guan Xinxue.

After expressing his concerns, Guan Xinxue directly delivered an alchemical component the next day: an alchemical puppet with only a head.

When Fang Yu saw the alchemical puppet, he was taken aback. The puppet quickly opened its eyes and spoke, its voice identical to Hua Yu's:

"Brother Fang Yu, this is my alchemical avatar. Initially, I thought this matter was foolproof, but now there are variables and it's no longer certain."

"So I sent the alchemical avatar to your sea ship in case there's a problem and my main body needs to be aware immediately."

Upon hearing the identity of this head, Fang Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly placed Hua Yu's alchemical avatar in a hidden corner of the sea ship to prevent it from scaring the crew.

He spent the night in close conversation with Hua Yu's alchemical avatar, planning a grand action to guard against the conglomerates.

But Hua Yu shook his head with a wry smile, feeling that Fang Yu thought he was too powerful, claiming that his abilities were actually limited, and they had to prevent any leakage of aura, so there wasn't as much he could do as Fang Yu imagined.

"However, brother..."

Hua Yu pondered briefly, then spoke: "The Divine Essence is key. If we seize the Divine Essence, I can perfect my body, further advance my strength, and offer you greater assistance."

"We'll split the Essence fifty-fifty and each do our part!"

"No way!"

Fang Yu flatly refused, leaving Hua Yu surprised.

"Seventy-thirty split; I'm the one taking the risk!"

Fang Yu spoke softly, his attitude very firm.

Hua Yu: ...

So this is the kind of person Fang Yu is.

The two haggled and talked all night, eventually reaching a consensus.

If everything goes smoothly, it's Fang Yu overthinking, Hua Yu won't need to take action, then it's a seventy-thirty split, Fang Yu seven, Hua Yu three.

If an accident does occur and Hua Yu needs to make an effort to counter the conglomerates, then it's a fifty-fifty split.

Both were satisfied with this consensus, then quietly discussed, settled the details, and Hua Yu's alchemical avatar silently fell into dormancy, saying no more.

...

Besides Hua Yu, Fang Yu made other arrangements.

Now that his rank has been promoted, the upper limit of the Sharp Blade Army has been raised to five hundred sea ships.

Fang Yu ordered Li Chongjing to quickly fill the army within two days, enhancing the Sharp Blade Army's strength.

Fifteen warships, plus 485 vessels.

This configuration of troops doesn't fear the conglomerate's forces at all.

Even if the opponent has dozens of warships, their high-end combat power is stronger than the Sharp Blade Army.

But the Sharp Blade Army also has the execution ability of [Sharp Blade Growth] and militarized management.

Coupled with Fang Yu's combat power.

Which side is stronger is yet to be determined.

The importance of military power is evident, it's the confidence for Fang Yu in such group battles.

The conglomerates view Fang Yu as an ordinary captain, thinking Fang Yu doesn't have enough power to acquire enough resources to advance to an Extraordinary Ship, then those conglomerate people are wrong.

A lieutenant rank already has a configuration of five hundred sea ships, and once Fang Yu makes great contributions in the East Ring Sea Region war and earns a medal of honor, getting promoted to a major rank.

Then his troops can reach the level of a thousand sea ships.

Military power and the fighting power and potential of his sea ship; these two are the confidence Fang Yu has in facing the conglomerates.

Everything is ready, and Lu Kun also had someone deliver a more advanced sniper rifle within these two days—a powerful sniper rifle capable of withstanding an energy level burst of up to ten thousand points.

As Fang Yu's power level increased, ordinary equipment was no longer suitable for him.

The materials used for this sniper rifle are rare and precious, and without the Ji Clan Trading Association regaining control of the munitions factory, establishing layouts and channels in the arms business, it might not have been possible to get this sniper rifle for Fang Yu.

The original price was twenty-four thousand Silver Coins.

Lu Kun sold it to Fang Yu for fifteen thousand Silver Coins.

Causing Fang Yu's previous amount of money to drop from twenty thousand Silver Coins to five thousand Silver Coins.

Damn... money flows like water, even paying the crew's wages this month is an issue, although he can double his money income with Dice, his sea ship and personal capabilities have already surpassed the warship level.

In a way, Fang Yu is now earning at a vessel level while maintaining equipment and configuration at a warship level, naturally always feeling short of money.

Fang Yu shook his head, quickly removing this thought from his mind. He started to settle down, reduced going out, and waited for the day he had agreed with Hua Yu to arrive.

Time passed day by day, during these two days, the two armies confronted each other, with occasional small skirmishes, but they were all small-scale battles, with casualties generally at the hundred-ship level, which didn't count as much for either side.

On this night, the outside world was pitch-black, the entire sea stained a deep black by the night, looking like a bottomless abyss.

Among the many ports on Southeast Stone Island, ships were continuously and quietly setting sail, without making a single sound, entering the ocean.

The sea waves continuously slapped against the port, producing the sound of waves, while the sound of ships leaving was drowned out by these wave sounds.

No one noticed that a large number of ships had quietly sailed out that night, except...

Fang Yu!

At this moment, Fang Yu watched the ships leaving the port with a slight frown.

"The worrisome event has happened."

Fang Yu murmured, these departing ships were exactly the conglomerate warships and vessels he had marked.

At this moment, these conglomerate warships and vessels chose this night to set sail, leaving Southeast Stone Island under the cover of night.

And coincidentally...

The day Fang Yu communicated and coordinated with Hua Yu was the next afternoon.

Which was exactly the time when a large amount of Divine Essence was being transported from afar to the East Ring Sea Region.

And departing from Southeast Stone Island, reaching the sea route called East Pole Sea Route, also takes about 10 hours.

When these warships sail there, they will meet coincidentally.

What a coincidence...

These conglomerate sea ships chose now to leave Southeast Stone Island rather than earlier or later.

There are no such coincidences in the world, Fang Yu stood up, his heart without any illusions.

But fortunately, at this moment, the enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark.

As long as this is used well, there is plenty of room for maneuver.

"Set sail!"

Seeing there were no more sea ships leaving Southeast Stone Island around him, Fang Yu judged that the conglomerate's sea ships had all left the island and made this decision in the dead of night.

The crew was confused; Luo Kuan and Ma were still in their pajamas, Du Ran in big shorts, all sleeping well, were suddenly awakened.

Coming to the deck, they were about to speak when they saw Fang Yu making a "hush" gesture.

Everyone was stunned.

"Combat personnel can still return to their rooms to rest, reconnaissance personnel split into teams on duty, ensure a good grasp of the sea surface situation."

"Let's disperse; this is an urgent task, so I didn't notify everyone."

Fang Yu's voice echoed through the Brain Domain Sharing Channel, slightly astonishing everyone.

Urgent task?

Luu Yuan glanced at the time, 3:30 a.m., precisely the time of deep sleep, and now the sea ship was preparing to set out—what on earth was the task?

However, Fang Yu said nothing more, only allowing combat personnel to return to their rooms to sleep and adjust their states, ensuring they were fully energized when entering combat.

This time he intended to be a sneaky predator that no one expected, to seize the Divine Essence from the conglomerate's hands.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn't help but quietly use the ship transformation ability to change the hull of the Salted Fish to a pitch-black appearance.

From a distance, the sea ship blended completely into the darkness brought by the night, merging with the deep, dark seawater into one.

Without special artifacts, there's absolutely no way to sense that a pitch-black sea ship followed behind you.

The Salted Fish thus quietly set sail under the cover of night, trailing the conglomerate's warships, heading forward...
