Chapter 206: Chapter 102: Turtle Breathing Qi Armor! Vast like the Abyssal Sea!_1
“The meeting place Li Hun has set is on an island in the Blue Rain Sea, it looks like that’s the main base of the Ghost Pirate Group, and he must have invited other sea pirates, waiting for us to go there!”
Sikong Huang said with a solemn expression.
“I’ll immediately send people to summon the Hall Masters to come over, prepare for battle, and set off for the Blue Rain Sea. This battle is critical to the rise or fall of the Giant Whale Gang and we cannot afford to lose!”
Sikong Wen was similarly very serious.
The base of the Ghost Pirate Group had become an extremely dangerous place; the Giant Whale Gang would need to mobilize all their elite forces. If things didn’t go well this time, it could be a war that would determine the very survival of the Giant Whale Gang!
Soon after, the four Hall Masters and more than twenty Deputy Hall Leaders were summoned. When Su Changkong explained what had happened and that it was time to set out for the Blue Rain Sea, the response was enthusiastic!
“The Young Gang Leader isn’t dead? Then we must rescue him!”
“Have we been waiting so long for the Gang Leader to finally decide to set out for the Blue Rain Sea? Those damned sea pirates are becoming more arrogant; I’ve been itching to give them a good beating!”
When they learned of this matter, everyone was warmly responsive and agreed with the decision.
Several months earlier, everyone in the Giant Whale Gang knew Sikong Zhan had encountered sea pirates and his life or death was uncertain. As his father, Sikong Yong would certainly not stand idly by, and now the time had come!
If Sikong Zhan or Meng Sang had made this decision that could determine the prosperity or extinction of the Giant Whale Gang, it would certainly have faced obstruction and opposition.
But ‘Sikong Yong’ was different. Rising to fame at a young age and leading the Giant Whale Gang to conquer in all directions, his prestige was unparalleled. Since he had made this decision, it must have been after thoughtful deliberation. What these commanders needed to do was to trust him and follow him!
“This battle… is not just a battle between the Giant Whale Gang and the Ghost Pirate Group but a major confrontation between the Giant Whale Gang and the sea pirate forces of the Blue Rain Sea… the outcome is uncertain!”
Of course, there were also people who were anxious, knowing that Li Hun must have already contacted other pirate groups. The Giant Whale Gang would face multiple Ninth Grand Thief-level pirate groups. No matter how strong the Giant Whale Gang was, could they really fight against such odds?
But most people supported ‘Sikong Yong’s’ decision. Those who were against it naturally couldn’t stand up to object or change anything without affecting their own morale.
“Sikong Yong is indeed a figure to reckon with, such a perilous action yet everyone in the Giant Whale Gang supports it!”
Su Changkong looked at the excited crowd below and inwardly marveled at the high esteem in which Sikong Yong was held.
“Follow the Gang Leader into battle; wipe out the sea pirates of the Blue Rain Sea!”
The Giant Whale Gang began to rally and prepare their forces.
“Looks like there’s a tough battle ahead!” Su Changkong was also somewhat excited. He knew that negotiations were likely to fail and that the result would almost certainly be an all-out battle. And what Su Changkong could do was to fight—to kill until the enemies were terrified!
Su Changkong silently practiced for two days, adjusting his condition to the peak.
After two days, once everyone was ready, they headed towards the port of the Giant Whale Gang.
“Boom boom boom!”
A thousand knights charged, like a steel torrent raging, and people along the way all stepped aside, daring not to obstruct.
“That’s the Giant Whale Gang! What a massive turnout, is this an all-out mobilization? The robust man leading them is Giant Whale Gang Leader Sikong Yong? Indeed, his stature is commanding!”
“It won’t be long before there’s big news shaking Ink Forest Prefecture City!”
The passersby watched the speeding Giant Whale Gang knights, their hearts trembling, realizing the Giant Whale Gang had a major operation underway.
At the port of the Giant Whale Gang, everything was ready. Eight hundred-meter-class warships were docked at the shore, along with several medium-sized and small-sized vessels.
“Finally… the Gang Leader will lead us to reclaim everything we lost in that battle!”
“Hahaha! This time, we will surely annihilate those sea pirates without mercy!”
Many Giant Whale Gang martial artists boarded the ships, their hearts surging with excitement.
Half a year ago, five of the Giant Whale Gang’s warships were attacked and only three returned, with a loss of nearly a thousand people. It was the biggest defeat the Giant Whale Gang had suffered in recent years. Everyone was holding back their anger and craving revenge. Now the opportunity had come!
Su Changkong also boarded a ship, embarking on the largest vessel ‘Giant Whale Number’. Standing on deck, he gazed at the endless horizon of the sea, a surge of heroism in his heart, feeling as if there was nothing in this vast world he couldn’t conquer!
Eight warships, plus several other vessels, the Giant Whale Gang truly sent out their finest this time, deploying seven to eight thousand people—almost all of their warriors! The sight of people over ten thousand, crowding and boarding the ships, was quite spectacular.
The fleet of the Giant Whale Gang sailed toward the location and coordinates provided by the sea pirate messenger and headed towards the base of the Ghost Pirate Group.
“All hands on deck!”
After sailing for two days, on the evening of the second day, reminder calls spread from ship to ship because they were reaching their destination.
Moreover, people saw several small boats patrolling the area; unquestionably all of them belonged to sea pirates, who were either vigilant or excitedly watching the approaching Giant Whale Gang fleet, like a pack of ravenous wolves.
“These damned sea pirates… It’s not just one group, the Blood Blade Pirate Group, the Blood Leopard Pirate Group… Just the pirate group ships I see are already five!”
As they continued to sail, Sikong Huang’s expression grew more solemn. Ships began to appear one after another within the sea area, including hundred-meter-class warships, and they bore different flags on their sails, all belonging to pirate groups of the Eighteen Pirates, at least five groups and more!
The number of pirate ships increased steadily, congregating in the sea area, standing off against the Giant Whale Gang fleet.
