Chapter 805: 388: Beat up Hai Gang, painfully regretting surrender!_2

Lord Haigang said, "It’s simple. His main fleet made first contact with yours and engaged in a minor skirmish. Your twenty-five thousand navy forces were no match for his fifteen thousand Rock Pirates, so you beat a hasty retreat."

Suo Lun was stunned. The only thought in his head was: You make such good sense, I’m actually speechless.

Then Suo Lun suddenly realized that when a smart person, especially a small-minded smart person, starts to act foolishly, it can be even more severe than a fool.

Once they fall into their own line of thinking, others have no chance of changing their minds.

And this person was highly suspicious, the more Suo Lun talked, the more he doubted.

On the other hand, Yan Mo didn’t say anything, just put on a look like he was about to surround and annihilate Suo Lun and kept pushing Lord Haigang away.

As a result, Lord Haigang became completely convinced that Yan Mo had indeed surrounded Suo Lun and was about to utterly destroy him.

Suo Lun was all too familiar with such people. There were many such smart people on Earth; you tell them the truth, they doubt everything. You painstakingly deceive them, and they believe you instead.

It’s like a product that costs twenty to make, you price it at thirty, and then people think it’s crap with probably only costing five, so they refuse to buy it at all.

But the same product that costs twenty bucks, once priced at three hundred, these smart people will think the cost is a hundred, and it’s a good item. After haggling down to one fifty, they happily make the purchase.

The schemer Lord Haigang turned out to be this kind of "smart" person, which really makes one’s blood boil.

So, Suo Lun said, "Lord Haigang, even if you’re right, and I have already been pushed to a dead end by Yan Mo, sure to die without a doubt. But there is no conflict of interest between you and me. Why not just stand aside, let me fight Yan Mo to the death, both sides suffering heavy losses, and then you come out and reap the fisherman’s benefit?"

"Both sides suffering heavy losses?" Haigang narrowed his eyes and said, "Lord Suo Lun, you think too highly of your navy. If you had the ability to inflict heavy losses on Yan Mo, you wouldn’t be here desperately pleading with me, even stooping to sow dissension. Once Yan Mo’s four fleets have you completely surrounded, you won’t even be a match for one of them. If I’m too slow to act, your fleet might have already sunk to the bottom of the sea, and I wouldn’t even be able to pick up the scraps. If I don’t contribute to the battle, how could I justify divvying up your Chaos Stone Salt Field and Magic Mirror Industry?"

Suo Lun was completely at a loss for words, and after a long time, he spat out a sentence.

"Fuck, there really are people who volunteer to die. Well, I’ll grant you that."

Suo Lun mounted his Griffin Beast and returned directly to his fleet!

This world really sucks; there’s no conflict of interest, I don’t want to fight you, but you still insist on coming at me, forcing me to wipe you out!

Really, it’s fucked up!

...

Originally, Haigang was still a bit worried about being deceived by Yan Mo, because he was too suspicious and had an absolute distrust of Yan Mo.

But ever since Suo Lun came with some heartfelt words, Haigang actually let go of all his doubts about Yan Mo.

Because in Haigang’s eyes, politicians are all deceitful, there’s no truth to their words.

All speech had to be understood by looking beyond the surface to the essence, to discern the opposite intent through these words, which was Haigang’s long-standing political wisdom.

So, Haigang led his fifty thousand main fleet and headed south at full speed, eager to eradicate Suo Lun and seize the greatest benefits.

At the same time, Yan Mo, playing his role to the extreme, also desperately headed south, looking as though he was competing with Haigang.

Suddenly, Haigang became even more convinced that Suo Lun was in a hopeless situation, doomed without a doubt. This round of battle was simply an easy collection of kills!

And Suo Lun, filled with determination, led his twenty thousand fleet and headed north at full speed!

Haigang’s fifty thousand fleet and Yan Mo’s fifteen thousand fleet advanced side by side, bearing down on the Suo Lun Fleet with a menacing force.

The two sides drew ever closer!

One hundred li, eighty li, fifty li, thirty li, twenty li...

Soon, the three fleets encountered each other on a narrow path again, less than ten li apart!

At this moment, Haigang finally realized something was amiss. Wasn’t it said that Yan Mo’s fleet was split into four, attacking the Suo Lun Fleet from the east, south, west, and north? Where were the other three fleets?

However, he quickly guessed the reason.

The other three fleets probably didn’t have favorable winds to encircle Suo Lun simultaneously, so all four fleets had to travel at the slowest possible speed.

Not expecting Haigang to suddenly rush up to snatch Suo Lun’s head, Yan Mo was also forced to head south at full speed, so now the other three fleets were still dozens of li away.

Now, it was simple to see if Yan Mo was real or fake - would he dare to rush up and fight?

Yan Mo was truly ruthless; he really dared to rush up and fight.

Even when just a few kilometers from the Suo Lun Fleet, the Rock Demon Fleet still kept moving forward, increasingly speeding up. The sailors on the ships began to extend their oars, and all the giant crossbows were drawn, readying a posture as if to start the battle immediately.

Seeing this, Haigang had no doubts, and roared, "Prepare for battle, annihilate Suo Lun!"

Instantly, Haigang’s main fleet continued to head south at full speed, all the giant crossbows were drawn, and replica Heavy Hammer Trebuchets were also set, ready to launch.

But just then...

Suddenly, the sails of the Rock Demon Fleet turned sharply.

All the sailors rowed furiously, but not to the south – instead to the north!

Because of the ships’ inertia, the Rock Demon Fleet had continued to travel south for a good distance before it began to turn.

After completely turning around, the Rock Demon Fleet sped northward, fleeing for their lives!
