Chapter 1283: Beating Them At Their Own Game

Zhuo Qing stood up and looked over everyone . He said: “Given there are 3000 of them, they won’t be very weak . I don’t want to lose too many people . The navy is watching us too closely now . ” 

“Big leader, their course seems to have deviated . That’s the only reason why they arrived here . I already had a deputy general lead the way for them . You only need to give the word and I’ll immediately have the deputy general bring them onto the island . It will be like catching a turtle in a jar . They’ll be forced to obediently hand everything over to us and then we’ll feed them all to the ocean monsters . We’ll make it seem like the ocean monsters attacked them in groups and completely destroyed them . Even if New Moon Land knows we did it, I doubt they would send troops our way . ” Zhuo Xiong had already thought of a solution .  

When Zhuo Qing heard Zhuo Xiong’s idea, his eyes lit up . This nephew of his was growing increasingly proficient, unexpectedly coming up with a cover beforehand .  

Zhuo Qing praisingly nodded his head and said in a resonant voice: “Ok, we’ll eat New Moon Land’s boats . Have all the brothers hide by the shore on the eastern side of the island . Zhuo Xiong, try and guide their boats as best as you can and don’t destroy their boats in the fighting . If they refuse to get off their ships, the brothers on the other two island can come over and surround them . Don’t let a single boat or ship get away!” 

“Haha, it’s rare to have such huge fish deliver themselves to us here!” the female chieftain gracelessly laughed .  

“Recently the navy has been watching us closely, so it’s been a long while since I’ve tasted blood . I hope the 3000 people from New Moon Land aren’t too soft so that I’ll actually enjoy the killing . ” bloodthirstily laughed a gruff man with a huge beard .  

The pirates in the hall wantonly and excitedly laughed . The atmosphere was full of insatiable greed .  

    ……

On the ocean on New Moon Navy’s ships .  

Sang Ying was maintaining his calm as he complained about the nasty side of the sea with those acting pirates .  

These acting pirates were very experienced, and managed to seemingly inadvertently guide Sang Ying’s course towards Dark Island .  

“Leader Sang, look at the weather . It looks like there’s going to be a storm soon . There are frequently ocean waves above the third dominator rank here and wherever the mist is swept off to, they will often appear . ” said the pirate deputy general with an anxious look on his face .  

“I can see that . ” Sang Ying also looked like he had a headache .  

“I often traverse this part of the ocean and I know of an island nearby . I often seek shelter there . ” said the pirate deputy as he continued to lay the bait .  

“There’s an island? That’s great! We’ll be heading to Crown City often in the future and two months of sea voyage is quite tormenting . If there’s an island we can use to rest, that will be great!” Sang Ying immediately showed excitement .  

Seeing Sang Ying’s reaction, the pirate deputy general was elated!

The big fish had easily taken the bait!!

“Haha, being able to make friends with you, a mighty leader, is my honor . How about this . Although we need to go somewhere else, we still have a bit of time . We’ll take you to the island so in the future, it’ll be much easier for you to make the trip . ” the pirate deputy general suppressed the elation in his heart as he spoke to Sang Ying .  

“That would be perfect . You really are a good friend . Our New Moon Land’s doors will always be open to ocean adventurers like you . ” Sang Ying said with a face full of gratitude .  

Sang Ying wasn’t pretending to be gratified . He really was .  

This pirate was taking the initiative to bring them onto their island! 

Indeed, Sang Ying had just been racking his brains on what excuse to use to approach their island .  

“They probably want to invite us into their boiling pot . ” Hai Qie used a mental voice to speak to everyone .  

“Yes, if we’re surrounded, we may be in a bit of trouble . ” said Chao Lengchuan .  

There were definitely elemental teams among the pirate crew . If they were surrounded and suffered the bombardment of an elemental team, they would sustain heavy losses . And if they were to lose a large portion of their elite New Moon Navy to pirates, this wouldn’t be worth it .  

“I have a solution . We have a team specialized in our navy at covert movement . This team can not only do it in a forest, but also don’t have a problem moving underwater . Since they’re the ones inviting us in, their focus will be on surrounding us . I’ll have the covert team leave our ship first and enter the island underwater . They’ll find a place to hide on the island and wait for the fighting to start . Then, all they will do is focus the enemy’s elemental team . ” said Hero Chief Yuan Sui .  

“This is a good plan . Creating the covert team was really a wise decision . ” Chu Mu earnestly nodded his head .  

“I’ll lead this covert team . ” said Yuan Sui .  

“Ok, I’ll slow down our progression speed . Be careful when you guys covertly move . Don’t touch any barrier traps . ” said Sang Ying .  

“Don’t worry . ” Yuan Sui nodded his head .  

In the pirates’ minds, there were only a few adventurer boats leading the New Moon Navy towards the Dark Ocean Island . They didn’t realize that New Moon Navy was covering up 500 soul pet trainers that were riding on their water type soul pets slinking through underwater .  

Without the pirates knowing, this group had separated from the ships and followed the ships’ direction towards the island .  

Because the ships intentionally slowed their speed, the team of 500 was able to see the island before them from underwater .  

Yuan Sui guessed that the pirates would ambush them on the eastern entrance of the island because there was an inward caving gulf . The moment the boats entered the gulf, the route back out into the ocean would be sealed off and they would be completely surrounded .  

The dark ocean’s environment was quite horrid . While deep underwater, the force of the undercurrent was extremely strong . If one even slightly relaxed, he or she could be swept away by the undercurrent .  

They progressed on an adjacent path, planning on coming ashore on another part of the eastern side of the island .  

“Senior Hero Chief, there are many submerged reefs up ahead . That should be the ocean precipice . If there are people guarding that area, it will be a bit troublesome for us to get out of the water . ” said a soul pet trainer from Windy Rain City .  

This soul pet trainer had followed Yuan Sui for many years, including during the Soul Alliance period . He hadn’t changed the way he addressed Yuan Sui . Perhaps in this young soul pet trainer’s heart, Yuan Sui would forever be the unrivalled Hero Chief . It didn’t matter that he had already entered the Palaces faction .  

“You, you, and you . Go and check first . If there are any guards, get rid of them . If you don’t have the absolute confidence in doing so, then immediately return . ” Yuan Sui picked out three dominator rank experts and had them clear the path for them .  

The three experts left first . Underwater where the vision was hazy, it was still possible to see them flit through the water like a sword fish’s sword . They were moving extremely fast .  

As Yuan Sui had anticipated, most of the pirates’ attention had been placed on the eastern entrance to the island, waiting for New Moon Navy to enter . There were barely any guards on the other locations and they were easily disposed of by the three dominator ranks from New Moon Navy .  

Yuan Sui’s success in his covert operation was half due to his subordinates of the past . Among them, 20 used to be either Investigators or Scars . They were all very strong . As the overall strength of New Moon Land rose, so did their strength . Defeating the patrolling pirates was extremely easy .  

“Leader Yuan, we’ve gotten rid of them . For the purpose of safety, we intentionally left one alive, but have controlled his mind . We’re having him continue to communicate with the pirates . ” said an old subordinate, Ma Li .

Yuan Sui nodded his head . He didn’t need to personally instruct them what to do with these small details 

Many guarding teams or patrolling teams would make a report to their other team members every once in a while . These pirates were rather organized and disciplined so they would probably do the same . The moment someone assassinated some of the patrolling members, if there was no report, the higher ups would know something happened .  

Thus, by intentionally leaving one alive and using him to communicate with the pirates, these pirates wouldn’t be able to detect something abnormal .  

Ten minutes later, the 500 people Yuan Sui was leading successfully managed to step foot on the island . They were hiding in a grey rainforest .  

They were rather high up on the land and could see the entire situation in the gulf .

“To the southern side of the gulf is a team hiding in the thicket . They are rather close and should be the demon beast team . There’s about 2000 of them…” Yuan Sui could see the entire ambushing arrangement of the pirates .  

“Most elemental teams will be protected behind the plant team . Therefore, on the western side, or behind the highland where they will enter the port, is probably where the elemental team is .  

From the topography and formation, Yuan Sui was able to guess where the elemental team was . Yuan Sui had already sent Ma Li to scout and find the quickest route to reach that location without being detected .  

“Leader, what is that group of squirming things on the beach on the northern side . ?” said an ocean general .  

Yuan Sui immediately looked over and indeed discovered things moving on the northern beach . If he didn't look carefully, he wouldn’t have noticed them .

“A departed spirit team? These pirates have a group of departed spirit soul pet trainers?” Yuan Sui faintly creased his brows .  

Departed spirits rarely appeared on New Moon Land and most soul pet trainers didn’t like signing a soul pact with departed spirit soul pets . Therefore, Yuan Sui didn’t know much about using departed spirit creatures or how to counter them .  

As New Moon Land transformed, their preconceptions of departed spirit soul pet trainers also began to change .  

Departed spirit soul pet trainers and soul pet trainers with departed spirits were two completely different things . The most unique thing about departed spirit soul pet trainers were that practically all of their soul pets were departed spirits . They normally understood how to refine and strengthen departed spirits . Yuan Sui had also heard many departed spirits had different strengthening methods than normal soul pets… 

“There seem to be a lot of them . This group of creatures that will climb back up after being killed will pose quite a bit of a threat to our beast team . ” Yuan Sui muttered to himself .  

“Leader, with King Chu, Leader Chao and Leader Ye here, we probably don’t need to be afraid of those departed spirits . ” said a navy member belonging to the Palaces .  

Yuan Sui nodded his head . With the three of them here, they probably had a method of dealing with them .
