CHAPTER 178: CHAPTER 153: VICTORY WITHOUT LOSING A SINGLE SOLDIER

Everyone’s gaze suddenly turned to the person who fired the shot.

In Fang Yu’s hands, at some point, a sniper rifle had appeared.

At this moment, the gun barrel was slightly smoking, having just sniped Li Yuansheng, who was protected by a fleet of ships, on the spot.

The crowd was incredibly astonished internally.

Especially the captain standing next to Fang Yu, whose ID was Marine Army Wu Yanzu, suddenly tensed, a look of apprehension flashing deep in his eyes.

What a fast gun!

No... it shouldn’t be called a fast gun...

Rather...

The person who fired was clearly standing beside him, yet during all the time before the shot, he had no sense of the killing intent and movements beside him.

Fang Yu did not leak even the slightest hint of his presence.

It wasn’t until the shot was fired, and the killing intent and energy level burst forth, that everyone was violently startled, immediately witnessing Li Yuansheng being shot by Fang Yu.

"Killing Commander Li Yuansheng... acquiring..."

The settlement voice rang in Fang Yu’s mind.

But he didn’t care and continued to cast his gaze forward at the other warlord crew, saying clearly and concisely: "Surrender, or die!"

The sniper rifle was still held in his hands, not put away.

Fang Yu, holding the sniper rifle, swept his gaze across all the warlord crew present.

Under Fang Yu’s gaze, a group of warlord crew couldn’t hold on any longer, quickly raising their hands and stepping onto the deck, indicating their desire to surrender.

Originally, they were the troops Zhang Dong lent to Li Yuansheng, and for these warlord crew members, the commander they recognized was Zhang Dong, not Li Yuansheng.

Li Yuansheng had not yet established his prestige in front of this fleet.

Thus, the cohesion of the warlord crew was just so-so.

Now that Li Yuansheng was dead, they had no reason to continue holding on, promptly choosing to surrender.

"Very good!"

Everyone showed smiles, quickly dispatching their crew to detain these warlord crew members, and then escorting them to Lvchun Island.

Being able to capture a fleet of two hundred ships without losing a single soldier was definitely something worth celebrating for everyone.

Furthermore...

If during the execution of a mission, it was accomplished perfectly or remarkably well, there would definitely be more awards.

"Yuan, record the process of this battle, report it to the higher-ups, and show off this war achievement."

Everyone joked with Tang Yuan with smiles.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and with such excellent merits achieved, it’s best to flaunt them generously, let the higher-ups see, and provide more benefits.

"Alright, brothers, now the real battle begins."

After Fang Yu laughed with everyone for a while, his face slightly stern, he spoke to everyone.

Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, everyone also nodded slightly, their sight turning to those captured warlord ships.

Just as Li Yuansheng realized before his death.

In this battle, Fang Yu’s target wasn’t actually Li Yuansheng’s army.

As long as Li Yuansheng led his troops into the encirclement, it was essentially a fish in a barrel, an inescapable situation.

Fang Yu’s reason for forcing this troop to surrender, rather than directly obliterating with ship cannons, was to acquire the warlord’s ships, for a surprise attack on Zhang Dong.

As long as everyone navigated the captured ships in front, to confuse Zhang Dong.

The warlord’s ships were painted with the warlord’s iconic paint, visibly recognizable as their own army at a glance.

Upon seeing these ships, Zhang Dong might think Li Yuansheng was bringing the troops back into the camp.

Though puzzled, Zhang Dong would certainly open the defenses, allowing this army to enter the camp.

Meanwhile, everyone’s real ships were hidden behind these ships, entering Zhang Dong’s camp together.

As Zhang Dong approached, a sudden assault.

Caught off guard, Zhang Dong couldn’t react at all, being defeated was only a matter of time.

Soon, the captives were placed on Lvchun Island by Fang Yu and the others, wearing Power Suppression Bracelets, with a dozen crew members left to guard them.

Then, they dispatched their crew members, driving the warlord ships captured from Li Yuansheng, while their real ships were quietly hidden behind the warlord ships.

Using the hull of the warlord ships to block the view of their own ships.

From a distance, it appeared as if Li Yuansheng’s forces were navigating, indistinct from Blue Star Captain’s ships.

Upon confirmation of no issues, Fang Yu waved his hand, commanding everyone to advance towards Zhang Dong’s camp.

Despite a considerable number of Blue Star Captains present being of a higher level than Fang Yu, some at even higher levels than his rank.

Yet everyone willingly heeded Fang Yu’s instructions, recognizing him as the commander for this operation.

It wasn’t Fang Yu’s overall strength that earned everyone’s respect, but his cunning strategy.

From coordinating with Nanchuan Island to designing an ambush using the reinforcements from Nanchuan Island, achieving a perfect capture of two hundred enemy ships without shedding a drop of blood.

To now using the warlord ships as a facade, hiding their ships to launch a surprise attack on Zhang Dong.

All these strategies stemmed from Fang Yu’s hand.

Subconsciously, although Fang Yu’s ship was the only medium-sized cargo ship among everyone, the group had the subconscious feeling of seeing Fang Yu as the backbone.

Every order, they obeyed Fang Yu’s arrangement.

...

"If this mission is settled, it’s expected that all our Level 30 ships could rise a level."
