nWhat a grand spectacle!

nThey were really enjoying watching the commotion while it lasted.

nBut in the next moment, they saw the pirate fleet firing cannonballs at them, catching them off guard and causing panic.

nThe players were dumbfounded.

nEven those who were just bystanders had to fight?

nLet’s rewind time back half a minute.

n“Listen up, you lot! Shoot those Mystic Realm natives’ ships with all you’ve got! Whether we can strike it rich this time depends on you!” Captain Franco of the One-Eyed Pirate Crew shouted loudly.

nWhen he saw the Krieg’s ships being caught off guard by the barrage, he grinned widely and was about to give the order to continue the attack.

nBut then, Rudy, a member of the pirate crew who had just returned from the Silver Islands, exclaimed in surprise from the side.

n“Boss! I saw the Black Widow! It’s right there in the fleet next to us!”

nUpon hearing this, Franco’s left eye twitched, and he gazed in that direction.

nSure enough, he saw his own Black Widow, which had gone missing half a month ago.

nAt this moment, the Black Widow was docked within another fleet.

nHe was always the one doing the plundering, but this time, someone had stolen from him. It made him furious and deeply humiliated.

nIn his eyes, if the Black Widow was mixed in with that fleet, then those ships next to it should be accomplices.

nThus, he immediately ordered.

n“Lads, point the cannons at that fleet and teach them a lesson. We’ll take back the Black Widow!”

n“Yes, sir!”

nBoom!

nThe cannons spewed out thick white smoke, and the cannonballs traced beautiful parabolic arcs through the air.

nCaught off guard, the player fleet suffered heavy losses. Some of the smaller ships were even pierced through their sides, allowing seawater to pour in and slowly sink them.

nEven the New Moon had its ballista shattered, leaving a gaping hole on its deck.

nJi Chen watched as the Black Skull Pirate Crew launched a sudden attack.

nThe expression on his face was somewhat subtle.

nThe pirate ship that the New Moon had been masquerading as was originally part of the Black Skull Pirates’ fleet.

nNow it seemed that the pirates had recognized the New Moon’s true identity and come to settle the score.

nSeeing the intimidating approach and the continuous gunfire from the dozen or so pirate ships, Ji Chen felt a slight tremor in his heart.

nHe could withstand the artillery barrage from three or four ships, but it would be nearly impossible to handle so many.

nIf the New Moon were truly sunk here, he would have to swim back to their territory.

nWith this thought in mind, Ji Chen didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately ordered Sparrow to sail away at full speed.

nThe players who were suddenly attacked, after recovering from their confusion, became furious one after another.

n“Damn it! These pirates really have no regard for us. They’re even attacking those who are just here to spectate?”

n“Do they think we’re pushovers? Let’s show them what we’re capable of!”

n“These pirates are nothing to me.”

nAlthough they spoke bravely, not a single player dared to charge forward. Instead, they fled in the opposite direction, prioritizing their own survival. They didn’t want to end up as fish food in the sea.

nThe New Moon unfurled all three sails, surging ahead with full force, taking the lead among the player fleet.

nHowever, this sudden surge drew the attention of many.

nKrieg squinted her eyes as she watched the New Moon in the forefront. She suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that the man who had extorted her might be on that ship.

nWithout hesitation, she immediately ordered a detachment of over ten heavily armed warships from her fleet to give chase, determined to eliminate Ji Chen here, displaying the deep-seated resentment within her.

nJi Chen felt a tingling sensation as she looked at the ships following closely behind the New Moon.

nThe current pursuit unfolded as follows: the first wave was led by the New Moon, charging ahead as the vanguard. Following closely behind was the second wave of players’ ships. The third wave consisted of pirate ships. Lastly, there were over ten fully armed Krieg warships.

nIt appeared as though they were chasing after other players, but in reality, they were all in pursuit of him.

nThe thrill reached its peak!
