Chapter 144: Chapter 139: The Wind Has Died Down, Time for Fog! Chapter 144: Chapter 139: The Wind Has Died Down, Time for Fog! Da Fei’s pursuit of the fleeing enemy was not going well.
Giant paddle ships are just that, giant paddle ships; as long as the enemy is determined to flee in a straight line, catching up is no easy feat. Of course, the key problem is that even if you catch up, there’s nowhere to strike. Unlike modern warships with cannons at the bow, sailboats must turn to the side to attack, and turning definitely slows you down, allowing the enemy to get away again. So after half a day chasing, it was the Druid’s lightning bolt that finally capsized one.
It seemed obvious the enemy was resorting to trickery. Da Fei wasn’t keen on continuing the chase, but Mrs. Anwen remained smiling silently, Miss Catherine was in high spirits, and Selvia’s mana was steadily recovering, so they decided to keep up the pursuit, ready to see it through. Worst case, if they can’t win, they can still run, brother can flee just as they can’t catch up.
The messages on the World Channel also gave Da Fei a bit of reassurance; he wasn’t fighting alone.
——System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! 20 enemy camp warships spotted ahead, please stay alert!
Oh, here they come! Da Fei’s spirit surged instantly, 20 warships—if each one carried up to 30 Abyss Lords, just make sure no more than 10 warships focus their fire at once!
Da Fei immediately looked up and shouted to Catherine, “Baby, make sure we don’t get surrounded!”
Catherine laughed heartily, “No problem!”
…..
At this time, at the U.S., Japan, and India Command Center. Compared to the roaring flames of the major battlefield, this local battle attracted even more attention from all countries. Everyone knew what would it mean for the battlefield situation if such a Super Hero joined the battle? In any case, he must be intercepted! What if this Super Hero’s goal really is to join forces with the main troops? Perhaps that would be even better. At that time, the Hellish Alliance Army would dispatch even more warships at all costs to encircle and ram him to sink.
The second wave of 20 reinforcement warships had already arrived, and the 9 fleeing warships from before began to turn around. Nearly thirty warships lined up in a row as far as the eye could see, their scale was truly enormous! Once the net is formed in pocket shape, the prey would have a hard time escaping.
Moreover, there is the third wave of reinforcements. They changed their course, bypassing Dafei’s field of vision and began encircling from the flank to block the retreat. This Super Player named Dafei had a very high level in Reconnaissance Skill, which was no secret to professional players anymore.
In short, the alliance had done everything they possibly could. No more fleets could be drawn from the main forces in the center of the battlefield, or else the isolated units would be overrun and shot down by the agile Chinese players. On the open waters, the giant paddle ships would definitely be played to death by the nimble Green Leaf Boats.
Would this work out or not? Howell had no idea, and at this moment, he found himself thinking of God.
…..
Facing the oncoming fleet of giant paddle assault ships, Da Fei couldn’t help but nervously swallow his saliva. Although the Flying had much better turning capabilities, if things went wrong the consequences would be dire. No time to think further, clear the field first!
Just at that moment, the Flying’s speed suddenly slowed down, and Da Fei was shocked, “What’s going on?”
Catherine exclaimed, “Oh my God! Why has the wind suddenly dropped?”
Anwen chuckled, “The Spider Demon army has successfully taken over various Flower Demon barracks and then blocked the World Tree passages with their spider webs, hence obstructing the Ancient Wind.”
Damn it! How can you still laugh! Da Fei urgently asked Anwen, “Lady? Can we now head for the Abyss Blood Pool?”
Anwen indeed shook her head with a smile, “How can we stop halfway when class is in session?”
Da Fei asked incredulously, “Class?”
Anwen smiled, “Indeed, and the Captain must also attend!” Then she looked up towards the helm and smiled, “Miss Catherine, the mock battle exercise begins!”
Catherine exclaimed with surprise, “Alrighty!”
Da Fei suddenly realized and asked in alarm, “Are we combining the Mysterious Stealth Navigation now? What if it fails?”
Anwen laughed, “Even if it fails, it will just be a big fog. We can still emerge victorious in the fog, and now that the wind has died down, it’s the perfect opportunity to create mist!”
A big fog? The Master-level Arcane’s Mist Summoning Technique? Da Fei suddenly understood! This old lady is incredible! She has everything well-organized regardless of success or failure! Honestly, with her in command, how could I possibly lose, right? Truly deserving of being a mentor aboard! Oh, what facial expression should I use to express my emotions?
Da Fei respectfully bowed to Anwen, “Having Lady Anwen guide us aboard is truly the honor of my lifetime!”
Anwen laughed heartily, “Oh Captain, you flatter me. This is just a bad habit from my years of teaching. I often get criticized for being too eager to instruct others.”
Da Fei quickly shook his head, “Lady Anwen is being too modest. I am sincerely expressing my respect!”
Anwen smiled even more joyfully, “Okay, okay, no need for such formalities, Captain. First, we’ll turn to hide behind a tree root, then wait for those little guys to come over and we’ll play hide and seek with them!”
Da Fei was overjoyed, “Great! Hide and seek!” I’ll hide so well you’ll all be dead! Wahahaha!
The sudden deceleration of the Flying and the weakening of the underground wind immediately caught the attention of the Three Countries Command Center. Watching the panicked turning of the ship, cheers erupted! Howell, serving as Captain America, had been on edge for so long, and his nerves finally relaxed as he jumped up and let out an excited roar! The entire Hell Bar’s team members got up, opened their bottles to celebrate early!
Howell laughed hysterically, “A sailboat without wind is like a bird without wings; this is Providence for America! Only America is the strongest, in the past, in the present, and in the future!”
“Sir! The Japanese and Indian delegations are sending their congratulations and asking for permission to engage!”
Howell, cackling with laughter, waved his hand grandly, “Full speed assault!”
Now, under the half-sail push of the Magic Energy Wind Sail, the Flying hid among the tree roots, waiting silently for the hunter to take the bait!
When you all gather, I’ll let you know that hunters can also become the prey at any time, Wahahaha!
— System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! 15 enemy warships have been detected to your southwest. Please be on guard!
Ah pfft! Da Fei laughed out loud! So there was an ambush! These guys really know their military tactics! Come on then, I will take a few extra steps to wait for you all to come, “Van Tho Susaid Fo Lei Saigo,” “Come Busy Baby Good Oil!”
At this moment, the combined fleets of America, Japan, and India, consisting of 44 warships with giant paddles, furiously converged toward the giant sailboat in panicked flight! The giant paddles splashed water, casting sprays like shooting stars across the water’s surface.
The Hell Bar once again played hysterical rock music, the Indian headquarters started clapping in celebration, and the Japanese headquarters had already turned their attention to the more intense central battlefield!
Yet it seemed that no one had noticed that the water splashed up by the giant paddles was slowly turning into a faint wisp of mist, and the shape of the fleeing sailboat was becoming more and more blurred after it darted into the tree root forest.
The mist rose unknowingly among the crowd!
