Chapter 1090: Chapter 148: It Really Turned into an Annihilation Mission!

The stretch of water they silently glided over was less than one-fifth of the total distance, yet it took them half the time.

And as they quietly approached within 150 meters.

Someone finally noticed something was amiss—

Although it was the dark before dawn, at this distance... an elite scout would still be able to spot them.

After all, that was just an ordinary fishing boat, not painted black nor hoisting black sails.

But fortunately, it was so.

The players heard from afar, someone on the ship calling out—followed by two searchlights shining over.

Luckily, only Annan was at the bow of the boat.

This was originally a small boat intended for one person. The other seven were all squeezed into the far end of the cabin or hiding behind large boxes, crouching or lying down, not so easy to be discovered.

And Annan was wearing the White Jade Tower’s signature pure white priest’s robe, looking perfectly harmless.

After being swept by the crossing searchlights, she shielded her eyes with one hand and waved excitedly to the people on the ship with the other, calling out greetings like "hello" and "I come from the White Jade Tower."

The opposite side hesitated, indeed.

They didn’t launch an attack immediately.

After a while, they even shifted the searchlights away from Annan and onto both sides of the small boat.

After all, the light was not cold.

Being under it for a prolonged time could dry the skin out. Let alone it was impossible to keep one’s eyes open against the searchlights.

For a target showing no hostility, this move was somewhat impolite.

—This was the "healer’s initiating tactic" conceived by Longjing Tea.

Seeing a neutral faction’s healer, especially a beautiful girl with no fighting ability, coming all alone... most people definitely wouldn’t strike immediately. At the very least, they would wait until she came closer to question her.

And then, when face to face, they saw her lift her skirt, and from beneath it, seven fully-armed brutes sprung out in an instant—that’s roughly the effect Longjing Tea wanted.

However, despite Annan being in the front, trying hard to play the innocent and pure girl.

The teammates hiding behind started buzzing with discussion.

"...Damn, in this era, where did they get searchlights?"

Shisanxiang blurted out, "Thank goodness Longjing Tea prepared a few boxes, otherwise we’d definitely have been exposed... By the way, do they have electricity?"

"Definitely not."

Meiweifeng Goose clenched her sword, lowering her voice: "These are clearly searchlights created using rituals from the ’Radiance’ domain."

"That’s right."

Longjing Tea said solemnly: "This is indeed ritual light. The light beam can rise very high and be very bright... visible from a great distance. Generally used as an alert like a beacon tower.

"I didn’t expect them to have such awareness... using crossing searchlights to locate enemies or targets during the night? Interesting..."

"This can’t be some amateur job."

Meiweifeng Goose assuredly said: "If the pirates had such high tactical savvy, then the Dennisiowa royal navy would probably be screwed."

"Probably regular troops are hidden on board... This originally is an official Dennisiowa cargo ship."

Defu whispered, "Longjing Tea’s judgment is correct. ’Venomhand’ didn’t really take over the ship... It’s likely that not many of the personnel on board have changed. Probably he just killed the captain, letting a higher-up affiliated with that woman take over...

"Theoretically, this ship was ’captured’ and plundered by Venomhand. But Venomhand has been captured by Annan for so long, and nothing came out of interrogation—This is, after all, the land of the Tower of Black Radiance, the nation with the most Soul Reaping Wizards. If they wanted to interrogate, they would have had results long ago... they just don’t want to interrogate."

"Just on the surface, this ship was hijacked. But if we really go straight into battle, I’m afraid that in the midst of the fight the other party will suddenly reveal their identity, claiming that we’ve launched a surprise attack on Dennisiowa’s royal navy and accordingly declare war on the Winter Principality."

"...I don’t think Winter is that afraid of them, though."

Husky snarked.

Thirteen Fragrances shook his head: "It’s not certain, the United Kingdom has the largest number of naval ships. Of course, the most fundamental reason is...we don’t have to fight at all. Because they don’t really represent the United Kingdom, this is just stirring shit to provoke a war.

"The higher-ups on this ship, strictly speaking, are no longer naval officers of the United Kingdom, but traitors of the United Kingdom. They belong to Ingrid’s private forces...From this point of view, I think there must be her people among the advisors."

"Her previously laid plans were probably aiming to use this method to pin down Annan."

Delicious Goose concluded: "Maybe there are other methods... but it’s more or less the same."

"So we..."

Lin Yiyi suddenly hesitated: "Do we have to silence them to deal with this?"

As soon as she said this, the other six fell silent.

"——That’s crazy!"

Longjing Tea blurted out: "Has the spy mission really turned into annihilation?!"

As he spoke, the boat had already drifted in front of the large ship.

The other seven quickly shut their mouths, pulled out baby bottles from their bosoms, and guzzled down whatever was inside.

Compared to that huge ironclad, this white-sailed fishing boat looked like a tiny little girl.

And soon, a rope ladder was let down from above. Obviously, they wanted to let Ah Dian climb up the ladder first to discuss further.

Ah Dian showed no resistance.

She just tied the fishing boat to the large ship, then gestured backward—taking a palm-sized kitten with her, she climbed up the ladder.

That was Defu in a transformed state.

After entering the silver rank, Defu could now disguise her form to a certain extent.

She could switch her body size back and forth between that of a palm-sized kitten and a giant feline creature over two and a half meters tall when standing on all fours.

And after Ah Dian had climbed up.

Ah Dian obediently raised her hands, signaling that she was completely unarmed and had no intention of hostility.

Only then did the crew members disperse a bit.

It was Longjing Tea’s loud shout that suddenly erupted in the cabin.

The bracelet hidden in Ah Dian’s sleeve also lit up with a faint, inconspicuous glow:

"——[Immediate Onset of Battle]!"

With Ah Dian at the exact center.

The others were dragged by a huge force, flying out explosively from the burst cabin and, in the blink of an eye, landed beside Ah Dian, surrounding her tightly!

Lin Yiyi started spinning the solid steel rod in her hands rapidly even before she landed—accompanied by extremely smooth and elegant steps, she struck and sent all the surrounding people flying upon landing.

"Great initiation!"

Lin Yiyi cheered aloud: "What a great start, Ah Dian!"

"Always felt that having the wet nurse initiate with her butt has to be a mistake somewhere."

Ah Dian’s face showed her utter dismay: "Isn’t this usually the ADC’s job..."
