What a grand spectacle!

They were really enjoying watching the commotion while it lasted.

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

The players were dumbfounded.

Even those who were just bystanders had to fight?

Let’s rewind time back half a minute.

“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.

When 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thus, he immediately ordered.

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

“Yes, sir!”

Boom!

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

Caught 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.

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

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

The expression on his face was somewhat subtle.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“These pirates are nothing to me.”

Although 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.

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

However, this sudden surge drew the attention of many.

Krieg 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.

Without 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.

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

The 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.

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

The thrill reached its peak!
