"So... They weren't just running in circles or blindly escaping, they were taking us closer to their forces... Amazing move," Hye laughed before he moved his eyes towards a certain screen, "is this what you were waiting for?"
Just before he'd completed his sentence, the portal he kept watching for a long time suddenly showed signs of life. It didn't just flash and release a fleet, it released an endless stream of ships and fleets, looking as if it got no bottom.
"And like that, the real battle over this caravan started," Hye muttered to himself, before thinking about his next move.
[Shall we retreat?] the lady nymph sent asking, [You see what we are all seeing, right? We can't counter any of that!]
[In fact, if we didn't do it now, then there won't be any more ideal situation to do so] Hye instead said something no one of these two expected, [Attack!]
[Attack?! Attack what?!! Are you out of your mind?!!!] the lady nymph exploded in the messages, but Hye could only laugh.
[When the enemy feels he got everything under control, then it's the right moment to hit him hard] Hye's words didn't make any sense to any of these two, [Close the net, attack the caravan, and leave everything else for me to handle]
[You are insane!] the pirate king also felt the same as lady nymph, [How are we supposed to get out? Any clue?]
[Just do it] Hye laughed, [By the end of the day, you will laugh at this as you'll see how idiots you were hahaha. Just move on, attack, and leave the rest to me]
The other two didn't get why Hye was acting this cool about it. But they didn't delay any longer. If the man said to attack, then they trusted and pushed it forward to happen.
There were still hours before the closest Toranks fleet would arrive here. Hye estimated them to take roughly ten hours. As for the Hescos, they'd need double that to arrive here with their fastest ships.
That gave Hye and his forces enough time to manoeuvre and do some tricks he wanted to. By the start of the direct battle, it was expected how brutal things were going to be out there. And yet Hye didn't hesitate to lead his newly deployed fleet towards that spot.
[Make sure you film yourselves getting the caravan] seeing this battle through screens told Hye it was going to end pretty soon. The Toranks were nervous in attacking the pirate king and lady nymph forces, mistaking the two to be from two different forces.
They realised too late that these two were working together, orchestrating their moves and attacks with each other. At some point, a few Toranks fleets tried to let these two's forces clash against each other, to finally realise the two were actually a single force, working under the same banner.
The moment the pirate king and lady nymph ships met, they didn't attack each other even for once. Instead, they both joined hands, and the prize was wiping out that courageous Toranks fleet from existence.
It became clear to the Toranks leaders that these two were working together. And that just added too many levels of danger to this already dangerous attack.
It was too late to realise this, and no matter how hard they tried to get the caravan out, they failed. In just one hour, the caravan got taken by the combined forces of the lady nymph and the pirate king.
[Don't open the caravan] instead of asking them to check what was inside, Hye simply gave this order, [Take control over the ships, and lead them towards that location]
[That location!!!]
[Isn't it...]
