Chapter 391: Chapter 391: The Seaweed of Algae Bay

Time would not wait for anyone, and as the sky grew darker, the moments were still inching closer.

At sea, a dark shadow slowly sailed out, gradually approaching this bay.

"How is the situation, has the target appeared?"

"Eldest Young Master, we have been closely monitoring, and the target has appeared. The first fleet is about to arrive here. Their fleets meet at this location, but they do not appear at the same time; there will be a slight interval."

Looking at the report, the Eldest Young Master nodded, "Very good, this is much better than what we had previously envisaged."

Indeed, of the scenarios they had envisioned, the worst was the enemy’s fleets appearing at this location simultaneously. At that time, their strength would be at its strongest and most difficult to deal with.

Even though there was only a very brief period, that was the only opportunity to make a move.

But now, instead of appearing all at once, they would pass this position separately.

Therefore, we could employ another plan, which was to annihilate one fleet as quickly as possible and then leave some men to clean up while the rest continued to meet the next group.

Each time, attacking the fewer with more, they could quickly eliminate the opponents.

As long as they moved quickly, even the fleets following would be unaware of the situation here.

Since these were all short-haul transports, the most heavily armed of the enemy’s warships would be at most silver-grade heavy warships. Gold-grade ships would not appear here, otherwise, they wouldn’t have the audacity.

Gold-grade warships were too resource-intensive, even Fang Jie could not afford to place them around without any regard.

Only gold-grade Undead Troops were manageable, as they had the Fission Ability, making them much easier to produce.

"Eldest Young Master, the first fleet will arrive in fifteen minutes. Shall we enter our predetermined position in advance?"

The other two brothers, watching their brother so full of vigor, also felt a speechless surge. How did he find such a loophole—if only they had found it first.

But now, there was no other choice; they had to follow orders and dared not do anything unnecessary.

The Eldest Young Master said with a smug face, "Set off, and once we reach the position, wait in silence. When I give the signal, attack together. Understood?" The Eldest Young Master began issuing commands to all present.

Many of those here were high-ranking family members; it was unthinkable that even the Eldest Young Master could not command them in the past.

But today was different, he was the Commander here.

If this attempt were successful, his own status would rise along with the tide, and many of these family higher-ups would switch allegiance to him directly. This speech once again filled his younger brothers with fierce resentment.

"We’ll head back to our own fleets and coordinate in a little while."

After all, they were three separate parts, and the Second and Third Young Masters quickly returned to their fleets.

The Eldest Young Master scoffed with disdain, "Hmph, even if they are well retained, they will become my strength in the future. Let them be pleased for a few more days." The Eldest Young Master already believed the title of Grand Duke would undoubtedly be his.

The fleet quietly neared its target and reached the designated location.

What they failed to notice was a shadow under the water, growing incessantly.

After all, it was night, and the movement under the water was too subtle to detect. During the daytime, they would have noticed that many seaweeds had already surfaced.

Algae Bay was a very special place, once inhabited by a group of pirates.

These pirates did not live well at first, so they planted a large amount of algae in this bay. The algae served as one of their food sources and also as a technique to attract fish.

Later, as the pirates in this area grew increasingly rampant, they were extinguished by a joint effort from several nearby islands.

But though the pirates were annihilated, the algae they left behind remained unattended and grew wild here. Hence, the seabed in this place was home to a vast amount of seaweed lifeforms.

Even some fleets were reluctant to approach this place for fear of being entangled by seaweed.

It was only Fang Jie’s fleet, constructed from Functional Buildings and blessed with special rules. Ordinary seaweeds couldn’t harm them unless faced with a unique algae cluster.

Therefore, passing through this place aroused no suspicion.

Because of its uniqueness, the Keli family did not bring some common ships here, worried about entanglement by the algae. This place had gone from a special passage in the past to an area few people approached now.

But today, the seaweed underwater began to behave differently.

A mass of algae slowly surfaced, and even the presence of special warships could not prevent their approach.

"We’re almost there, look ahead, they’ve already appeared." Suddenly, someone signaled from afar; the first merchant fleet had entered Algae Bay.

If they could seize it, they could strike it rich. Several more would enter the bay from various positions.

And their mission was to capture all of the enemies.

However, what they had not anticipated was that, before they could even move, a problem arose unexpectedly. A vast amount of algae suddenly spread from the water, crawling up the ships.

"What is this stuff, why is there such a huge dark mass?" a sailor asked, looking down.

"This isn’t right, why is algae surfacing?"

"Damn it, not this cursed thing again. But don’t worry, we are using special ships, it’s just an accident." They still had full confidence in the special ships.

After all, the algae of Algae Bay weren’t any special species, nor had they created any particular environment.

"No, there’s more over here, it’s getting more and more. What’s with all the seaweed on that ship over there?" As they looked towards the other ships, they immediately noticed something was amiss.

At first, it was too dark around, and they didn’t want to expose themselves, so they didn’t turn on the lights. That’s why they didn’t detect anything.

But now, things were different; the distance was too close and the area too extensive to ignore. The abundance of algae opposite them was obviously not normal.

At last, such commotion alarmed the family’s upper echelons. There was no helping it, for their ships had nearly become immobile.

Under normal circumstances, they should have already accelerated, even ready to attack the opposite ships. But now, they found themselves stationary, having not advanced an inch.

The Eldest Young Master emerged and, seeing the amount of algae that had spread onto the deck, immediately had a very unpleasant premonition.
