Chapter 172: Pirate Chaos
“Yao Guan Zi didn’t disappoint me! Well done!” Despite controlling the three headed water snake, Xi Dai Zi never stopped paying attention to the Vinegar Jar.
The Vinegar Jar Pirates’ commander Er Gua Zi was a gold level, and he had three silver level commanders.
One was Xi Dai Zi, his first mate, a fishman shaman.
The second was Yao Guan Zi, his second mate, a silver level fighter, however he had many illnesses since childhood and relied on large amounts of medication to stay alive.
His third mate was Man Xing Zi, but because he was too slow, he wasn’t able to join the fishman’s attack.
“But if that happened, the Vinegar Jar’s water supply is completely poisoned, the other fishmen cannot remain inside.” Xi Dai ZI knew what Yao Guan Zi had done.
Although Yao Guan Zi was a silver level, his direct combat ability was very weak.
If it were in a straight up fight, he wouldn’t be the two commanders’ rival.
The only thing he had was his bloodline’s racial magic that made poisonous water.
This poisonous water was very devastating that even a gold level like Er Gua Zi found touching it unbearable.
Therefore, all of the Vinegar Jar’s fishmen came out, none dared to stay in the poisonous water.
“Oh dear, there is nothing to be done…”
Bang.
The dragonman youngster’s fist burst apart the water snake’s head, interrupting Xi Dai Zi’s train of thought.
“He seized upon the moment my mind wandered. This dragonman…” Xi Dai Zi grit his teeth and retreated.
Fortunately, the spiky fishman attacked in time to help him out of this predicament.
Xi Dai Zi promptly released his magic power and regrew the three headed water snake’s missing heads.
Xi Dai Zi turned pale.
He sorrowfully noticed that his magic power reserves were running out. More than half of his magic power had been used to maintain the three headed water snake magic.
The dragonman youngster was still moving like the wind, and his offensive didn’t slow in the slightest.
This enduring battle capabilities was beyond Xi Dai Zi’s, and he sensed how powerful his enemy is.
The Vinegar Jar’s bottom cabin.
In the dark cockpit.
“Cough, cough, cough.” Yao Guan Zi was constantly coughing, and with every cough, he coughed out blood.
Commander Tie Bang’s and Beng Dai’s attacks had seriously injured him.
But now was not the time to rest and reorganize.
Yao Guan Zi was not healthy, and healing was more troublesome for him, thus, he wouldn’t be able to be healed in a short time span.
Yao Guan Zi also knew his situation.
He had already realized that even though it might cost him his life, he would use everything he had to help his clan take back their homeland!
After seeing the other fishmen all advance out of the ship, he began to control the Vinegar Jar.
The Vinegar Jar’s bottom suddenly deformed, exposing countless jet holes.
From these jet holes sprayed several streams of water.
The powerful streams scoured the ground, while simultaneously the reaction force converged on the Vinegar Jar, causing it to slowly rotate.
The Vinegar Jar’s spin accelerated, and it began to move.
It was like a black steel hurricane, effortlessly cleaning its path through the crowded port battlefield.
The end of this path was the light cannon turret.
Ding.
The Vinegar Jar smashed into the light cannon turret.
The light cannon turret had been firing everything it had at the Vinegar Jar, but it couldn’t stop it.
The light cannon tower’s advantages and disadvantages were obvious.
The advantages was its relatively cheap cost and offensive abilities.
The corresponding weaknesses were that it was rather frail.
This was why when Hun Tong had secretly built more, he kept them hidden underground.
The light cannon tower could not withstand the careening silver level magic ship.
The collision instantly smashed the light cannon tower into smithereens.
Then the crumbling light cannon tower was crushed by the Vinegar Jar into a pile of slag.
The Vinegar Jar slowed as it pulverized the light cannon turret.
But it quickly sped back up and rampaged through the port battlefield in an arc, crushing everything in its path.
It cut a blood path through the battlefield towards the other light cannon turret.
The light cannon turret personnel were frightened and ashen.
But even if they wanted to flee, there was not enough time to do so.
They did their best to wildly fire the light cannon turret into the Vinegar Jar.
Ding.
They failed to save themselves.
A second light cannon turret was crushed by the Vinegar Jar.
The fishmen’s morale soared!
The human fighters were stunned.
As it turns out, the Vinegar Jar didn’t strand itself, for it had a special ability that allowed it to jet water from its bottom.
Thus, even though it was on dry land, the Vinegar Jar temporarily could create a thin wave of water that allowed it to move freely anywhere!
Because of Yao Guan Zi, the port battlefield swung back into the fishmen’s favor.
Seeing the Vinegar Jar wreaking havoc through the battlefield like a monster, even someone as staid as Zong Ge changed color.
Luckily the Vinegar Jar didn’t attack the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ ships.
It wasn’t because the enemy was merciful or stupid.
Rather the light cannon towers far surpassed the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ ordinary ships in perceived threat level.
At the same time, there were many humans and fishmen grappling with each other around the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ ships.
In these circumstances, the Vinegar Jar running through here would definitely crush its fellow fishmen, causing not only immense casualties, but also gravely strike at their morale.
“Hahaha, another one torn down, keep demolishing them!” Dian Wan shouted with great excitement.
He was the Lightning Pirates’ commander, and when he saw Qi You attack, along with Two Eyes Island’s other gold powers unable to stop him, his banditry tendencies flared up.
The light cannon turrets were a immense threat to the pirates’ ships.
After all, besides their flagships, most of the pirates’ ships were ordinary vessels.
Therefore, despite being a human, Dian Wan took pleasure in seeing the light cannon turrets topple.
“Qi You’s ships will attack the island.” Yang Cong Tou anxiously said.
He was the Stench Pirates’ leader, and although he had sent the signal, his fleet still needed time to arrive.
The Ten Touch Pirates were the first to act, therefore they arrived first.
The Ten Touch Pirates’ commander Qi You was in the middle of fighting Hun Tong, fighting for his fleet’s arrival.
To the side, Hu Li was gazing more at the Vinegar Jar.
“That silver level magic ship has such might!”
“Truly outstanding.”
“If I could have such a ship, robbing islands would be so much easier!”
“I say, the Vinegar Jar’s watery interior also suits frogmen.”
Hu Li was a frogman, and the Applaud Pirates he led was made entirely of frogmen.
Concomitant with the three pirate commanders’ expectations, on the horizon, three fleets sailed into view.
Pirate flags were fluttering high, and the pirates aboard were abnormally excited.
Soon after, many more pirate ships appeared.
These were smaller pirate groups.
Every year during the auction, there were always pirate fleets traveling nearby.
Pirates adventured to join the auction, and to develop his island, Hun Tong did not dispatch his fleet to chase away or destroy these fleets.
The fishmen assaulting Two Eyes Island took note of these fleets.
As soon as they obtained their captain’s signal, they immediately took action.
From above, Two Eyes Island’s new island looked like a gigantic whale, while the innumerable pirate ships were like sharks that were encircling it from all directions.
They actively avoided the port battlefield and tried to land on the island in other places.
The pirates would undoubtably make the war situation on Two Eyes Island more complicated.
“Those damned pirates!”
“You are humans, yet you don’t unite, instead you want to loot a burning house!!”
The merchant alliance representatives cursed one after the other.
They anxiously burned with rage.
Benefits deeply bound them and Hun Tong, and the new island not only had their shops, but also a lot of inventory, liquid capital, and much more.
But now, they couldn’t get back to save their stores.
Because their entire fleets were caught in the battlefield and doing battle with the Vinegar Jar Pirates, the battlefield situation was very gridlocked.
By helping the fleet, they would abandon their stores.
Returning to save the stores would mean they would abandon their fleets.
To every merchant alliance large and small, this was undoubtably a choice full of pain and challenges.
“None of those three mercenary corps are useful!”
“Where is the patrol fleet? Where did they run off to?”
The merchant alliance representatives knew they were powerless to do anything and were anxiously searching for external aid.
Hun Tong, Song Shou, and Yan Ding had their opponents.
Two Eyes Island’s patrol fleet wanted to charge the new island, but when the fishmen’s main force appeared, One Eye chose to return to do his best to stop the fishman army.
Currently, the fishmen’s overall offensive situation was very explicit.
They were divided into two parts, one on the old island, the other on the new island.
But what was quite strange was that the fishmen’s main force was headed towards the old island, while the main force attacking the new island was the Vinegar Jar Pirates, a group with fewer people.
“The new island is floating up, while the old island will soon sink to the seabed. What are these fishmen doing?” Cang Xu communicated with Zi Di through an alchemy device.
He had already evacuated from the battlefield and hid in a secret place to rest and reorganize.
He had been wounded in his fight against the spiky fishman, such was obvious to all, and it undoubtably made for a good excuse for Cang Xu to pull back.
Zi Di replied, “Almost all of the old island’s facilities and personnel have been moved already. If the fishman want to take back their homeland, they must first destroy the human installations and armies on the new island.”
“The fishmen came prepared, and there is another gold level hiding in the main army. Their true purpose is an open question.”
“Furthermore, I feel that Hun Tong’s side still has strength, he hasn’t used everything yet.”
Zi Di was constantly observing the fights between the gold levels through the Deep Sea Monster Fish.
The fights the dragonman youngster, Zong Ge, and the others battled concerned the outcome of the port battlefield.
While the outcome of the gold level battles would affect the entire conclusion of the battle for Two Eyes Island.
This was the world of the strong.
If one gold level fight was determined, it would cause a chain reaction and influence other gold level fights.
When all of these outcomes were decided, the remaining gold levels would sweep across the battlefield and overturn the war situation.
It was like when Er Gua Zi singlehandedly slaughtered everyone on the Iron Lump and White Bandage effortlessly.
Another communication device chimed next to Cang Xu.
It was a merchant alliance representative.
The other side offered a high price to hire the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps to protect their new island store.
Cang Xu muttered to himself, first saying that at present, they couldn’t do anything. But if the war situation changed and circumstances allowed, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps would take on this mission and protect their store.
The merchant alliance was unresigned and raised the price, attempting to entice the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps into abandoning their ships, breaking out of the siege, and going to protect their merchant alliance store.
The other party really was thinking too much!
Cang Xu sneered to himself, for even if the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was able to do so, he would still refuse.
