Chapter 802: 387: Yan Mo’s Desperate Situation! Hai Gang Falls into a Trap!_2

Before, Yan Mo had always suppressed Hai Gang, leaving him breathless. Now was Yan Mo’s weakest moment, and Hai Gang was very likely to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to wipe out Yan Mo.

This was very likely! Faced with such huge benefits, Hai Gang would definitely be tempted.

The reason Suo Lun had stopped pursuing was to give Hai Gang a sense of security so he would feel at ease attacking Yan Mo. Otherwise, with the Suo Lun Fleet always in sight, the three forces would be wary of each other, and no one would dare to make a move.

"How cunning and deceitful Suo Lun is," Yan Mo felt a chill down his spine.

It was truly a case of the pot calling the kettle black; Yan Mo had just heard the news that Suo Lun had stopped pursuing and immediately deduced that Hai Gang’s Fleet was in front. Such cunning and intelligence were unmatched.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Yan Mo was extremely anxious.

At this moment, he truly was caught between a rock and a hard place, one slight mishap, and there would be no burial place for him!

Soon, Yan Mo thought of the first method: to falsely claim that he had triumphed over Suo Lun, leading his main fleet in a victorious return, while the rest of his fleet continued to pursue the remnants of the fleeing Suo Lun?

But soon, this method was rejected!

It wasn’t a matter of whether Hai Gang would believe it or not, he probably would because, in his mind, Yan Mo’s great victory was certain.

But this wouldn’t solve his own predicament.

Even if Hai Gang believed Yan Mo had won, the fact remained that he only had slightly more than ten thousand Rock Pirates returning to Thunder Archipelago. Hai Gang’s main fleet was three times the size of Yan Mo’s, and in Hai Gang’s mind, Suo Lun was already finished. Just wiping out Yan Mo would make him the ruler of the seas, how could he resist such temptation?

Impossible; once Yan Mo claimed this, Hai Gang would definitely seize this rare opportunity to eliminate Yan Mo.

Then, Yan Mo thought of a second method. He claimed he was engaged in a fierce battle with Suo Lun, with ten thousand navy divided into four groups, attacking the Suo Lun Fleet from the north, south, east, and west, completely encircling Suo Lun.

And he, Yan Mo, was leading more than ten thousand of his main fleet, flanking from the north. In this way, Hai Gang would surely be eager to join the battle, surrounding and hoping to snatch a piece of the pie from Yan Mo.

However, this meant Yan Mo had to immediately turn around and continue southward, pretending to chase down Suo Lun.

Without a doubt, this was the best approach, and it was highly likely to become real.

If Hai Gang really fell into the trap, the combined strength of both navies, totaling over sixty thousand, facing Suo Lun’s twenty thousand navy, would present a completely different situation.

Then, a thought emerged: could over sixty thousand navy really defeat Suo Lun’s twenty thousand?

Undoubtedly, the answer was no!

His own one hundred thousand navy couldn’t defeat the Suo Lun Fleet, so how could sixty thousand combined with Hai Gang’s navy possibly defeat Suo Lun’s twenty thousand?

Moreover, Hai Gang’s fleet wasn’t fast, and it was not much different from Suo Lun’s fleet, facing Suo Lun’s cannons, they couldn’t even get close enough to engage.

Then, another idea surfaced!

Trick Hai Gang into courting death and then lead his own main fleet to escape?

The moment this idea emerged, Yan Mo couldn’t resist such a temptation anymore!

After this great defeat, Yan Mo’s biggest threat wasn’t Suo Lun but Hai Gang.

Suo Lun had no intention of annexing the Rock Pirates, but Hai Gang did!

If he could thoroughly weaken Hai Gang’s navy, making him incapable of annexing his own, then Yan Mo could seek peace with Suo Lun or even submit to him, by then he would have a chance to breathe.

Yan Mo was a big gambler and couldn’t hold back any longer, his mind was filled with thoughts of how to doom Hai Gang.

Once he made up his mind, he made his fleet desperately flee northward again for dozens of miles.

Then, the whole fleet turned around, putting on a show of pursuing Suo Lun southward.

...

Hai Gang knew nothing of what was ahead, leading his fifty thousand main fleet desperately southward, fearing that Suo Lun would fall too quickly, and he wouldn’t even get a piece of the leftovers.

His fleet constantly closed in, getting closer and closer to the Yan Mo Fleet.

Two hundred li, one hundred fifty li, one hundred li, fifty li!

"Father look, there are fleet shadows ahead!" Hai Wuyan said.

Hai Gang climbed to a vantage point, sure enough, he saw a fleet dozens of miles away, but he didn’t know if it was Suo Lun’s or Yan Mo’s Fleet.

"Be careful, reduce the fleet’s speed, send out Scout Ships," Hai Gang ordered.

Then, his fifty thousand main fleet immediately slowed down, dispatching three Scout Ships!

The three Scout Ships quickly caught up to Yan Mo’s main fleet, clarified the situation, and not daring to get too close, stayed in place waiting for the rest of the fleet to catch up.

More than an hour later, Hai Gang’s fifty thousand main fleet caught up. The soldiers aboard the Scout Ships reported, "My lord, ahead is Yan Mo’s fleet, less than two hundred warships, and more than ten thousand Rock Pirates."

Hai Gang’s heart pounded, Yan Mo only had...
