Chapter 477: Chapter 286 Tactic Determining The Outcome!! _1

The pirates observing the battle were bewildered and surprised to see Ivita and her crew rush towards the Valji fleet, thinking it was a reckless move.

"Captain Robert, they seemed to be holding their own for a while. We thought the Valji Family had found themselves a real problem. Who knew they would make such a careless move at this point," one pirate commented.

Captain Robert, a burly man full of beard, sat on a large chair on the deck and said, "This kind of thing happens all the time at sea."

"The vast sea can easily drive people to anxiety and madness, turning their last moments into a joke for everyone to see. I guess these landlubbers were so scared, they thought they could win using the Beheading Tactic. But that’s just a ploy of young McLoughlin, watch him. In a short time, he has withdrawn his flagship from the battlefield, hiding away at the very back."

"Seems like the Valji Family has produced a promising successor."

"This battle is McLoughlin’s proof of his ability."

Another Pirate Captain chimed in, "McLoughlin seems quite capable, but when doing business, he tends to scrimp on deals. He often skims off a bit from our deliveries."

"Damn it, seems like we’re stuck with him."

The pirates were excited, as they believed this sudden war would soon culminate.

Next would be the Valji Family’s cruel slaughter of the landlubbers.

At that moment, a huge square ship with the Black Background Codex Flag suddenly neared the pirates’ fleet. The person aboard was none other than the Governor of the Transfer Port, Hilshivard.

From afar, Governor Hilshivard had been observing the battle with a telescope. Approaching the pirates’ ships, he suddenly said, "From my many years of experience, and having once been a sailor on Marco Anson’s ship, I can see that the outcome of this battle has already been decided. The young man from the Valji Family has fallen into a trap."

"It’s not that he’s not good enough, but rather that the other side seems to have anticipated his actions on the battlefield. It’s horrific, such complex tactics are rarely seen in the pirate world."

The pirate captains were startled by Governor Hilshivard’s words.

Did Governor Hilshivard actually think that the landlubbers were gaining the upper hand?

As Captain Robert turned his gaze back to the battleground, he saw that the Nagas were trying to burrow under the sea to attack the undersides of the Valji’s ships, intending to sink them.

However, the Valji Family had anticipated this. As the Nagas approached, their prepared professional sailors plunged into the sea one by one, engaging in savage combat with the Naga Tribe. The scene was brutal.

Although they were deadlocked for the moment, on the surface, the Valji Family’s ships had surrounded Ivita’s from all sides, using several ships to ram Ivita’s six vessels, intending to immobilize them, putting them in a position where they could neither advance nor retreat.

Meanwhile, the flagship with McLoughlin onboard, had withdrawn to a safe distance, unreachable to the other ships.

Robert was puzzled, "Those landlubbers are clearly at a complete disadvantage. Even so, Governor, you still believe they have a chance?"

Governor Hilshivard shook his head slightly, "It’s not that they have a chance. It’s that the Valji family has already lost."

"One wrong move and the game is over."

"Emotionally, I lean towards a victory for the Valji Family, but facts are facts. However, such a development will indeed stir up a new wave in our pirate world. If the landlubbers win this war, it would seem plausible that they could reclaim the two Viscount territories on Cross Island that were forcibly occupied by pirates sixty years ago."

"It’s just a matter of how many people such a development will attract," Governor Hilshivard mused.

Meanwhile, the Pirate Lords, led by Robert, were still astonished by the Governor’s judgement.

Suddenly, from Ivita’s flagship, the Britannia, a white beam of light shot into the sky, followed by five similar beams from the other five ships. This spectacle left both the pirate spectators and the Valji family members astounded and curious.

Then, those six ships headed straight for the Valji family fleet.

In an instant, the six ships overturned several of the enemy’s warships, and behind them were many members of the Naga tribe pushing them forward.

Countless cannonballs fell on Ivita’s six ships, causing their masts to fall amid the shells, their sails to catch fire, their ropes to snap one by one, their decks to crack, and the keel to completely split.

Upon seeing this, the sailors from the Valji family showed signs of victorious joy, some even cheering out loud.

Although many of their ships were directly damaged by the suicidal crash of the six ships.

The pirates watching from the side were all deep in thought and puzzled, but then someone suddenly pointed out the problem.

"Wait, those six ships are too light."

"There’s no one on those six ships!"

"Where did they go?"

...

On the flagship of the Valji family, McLoughlin Valji and Kertan Valji watched, with heavy expressions, a group of people who had suddenly appeared on their ship. There was Ivita, the Hearthstone Witch, Wilson, and many sailors and professionals from Ivita’s side.

When Ivita amplified the Domination Sect with the power of the Emperor Star, she discovered that, within a very short time, at least ten people could use the gate.

And so, she devised a plan to feign an attack on the enemy’s main flagship, causing it to retreat from the battlefield and then use the Domination Sect magic to teleport to the enemy’s flagship. The original six ships were used solely as bait, abandoned to carry out suicidal attacks.

This resulted in the current situation.

Kertan Valji directed the sailor on the lookout tower: "Notify the other ships immediately and have them come and support us as quickly as possible."

The next moment, two hundred invisible Hands of Mana pulled all the sailors who were scouting on the lookout tower down, stopping them from notifying others. Furthermore, because of the great distance between the other ships and the main flagship, no one noticed there was a problem.

They were still besieging the almost disintegrated six ships.

McLoughlin Valji finally realized their predicament. He understood that due to his previous misjudgement, what was supposed to be a naval battle had turned into a small-scale encounter on a single ship.

It was no longer a naval battle.

McLoughlin Valji sneered. He grabbed a bottle of rum from a bucket on the deck and took a huge gulp, his forehead covered in sweat. He looked at Ivita, "Such impressive spatial magic. I miscalculated. If I hadn’t ordered the main flagship to leave the fleet earlier, I wouldn’t have fallen into complete isolation, stuck on this ship fighting with you lot..."

"May I ask, who sent you to Cross Island? Who is your master? Who is your lord?"

"Don’t tell me that you dared to venture into Cross Island with just these few ships!"

Ivita looked at this young man drenched in sweat, shook his head, then said, "I don’t have a lord. But if you ask who sent me here, it would be the gods, and it was also myself."

"The Valji family owes me something. If they won’t pay, they may as well be destroyed."
