Pull off a big score?

Everyone was taken aback, staring at Fang Yu with astonished eyes.

The captain saying to pull off a big score, does that mean...

To take down the pursuing ship?

Is that even possible?!

A thick cloud of doubt lingered in everyone's minds as they exchanged glances, noticing the lack of confidence in each other's eyes.

If the Salted Fish were a large cargo ship, there'd be some confidence in taking down a ship.

But the Salted Fish is only a medium-sized cargo ship right now, which is two levels below the ship; in captain's terms, it's like a Level 10 captain challenging a Level 30 captain.

How could that be possible?

"There might be a chance..."

Fang Yu murmured, looking at the approaching ship, beginning to calculate in his mind.

The armor of the ship usually has an energy level of around 1000-2000; the pursuing ship's armor is likely around 1800-2000, roughly estimated.

With 1800 points of armor and that terrifying cannon power, the Salted Fish wouldn't stand a chance in a head-on fight.

One shot from their cannon and the Salted Fish would be done for.

A two-level gap isn't a joke, no matter how strong the Salted Fish's equipment is, it stands no chance against a ship.

But...

If we use the element of surprise and find a way to outwit them, there might be a slim chance of turning the tables under extreme conditions.

After all, sea warfare isn't like martial arts or fantasy novels where the strong always prevail over the weak.

In front of a strong foe, the weak usually have no chance.

Actual ocean warfare isn't like that.

If timing and tactics are used perfectly, there's a slight chance to achieve a victory over a stronger opponent.

Of course...

It's just a slight chance...

There can be no mistakes, because if there are, Fang Yu and others will undoubtedly be the ones to die.

Fang Yu took a deep breath.

By now, fleeing is not an option, nor is hiding; the only path to survival is to fight back.

Take them down!

Fang Yu felt his whole body trembling, perhaps partially from a touch of fear, but more than that, it was a unique thrill between life and death.

His mind was incredibly calm, but his body grew extraordinarily excited.

Yet Fang Yu quickly suppressed his excitement.

In a low voice, he began to share his arrangements with the crew, bit by bit.

This cannot be affected by excitement; every step must be meticulously planned to have any chance, betting on a medium cargo ship to fight a ship!

As Fang Yu continued explaining his plan, the crew couldn't help but exchange glances.

The previously dejected eyes...

Gradually lit up with hope...

...

"Old Gou, how far are they?"

Rong stood on the ship, continuously gazing forward through binoculars, unable to resist asking.

"Almost there!"

Old Gou grinned, answering Rong, "Rong, soon you'll be able to see them through the binoculars; their ship is only dozens of nautical miles away from us."

"Dozens of nautical miles? Good!"

With the ship's speed, it could catch up in ten minutes.

Rong's lips curled into a menacing smile at this thought.

Good, he just got off the phone with the vice president, who instructed him to make sure Fang Yu and his crew are eliminated at sea, so they don't return alive to Qiyun Port.

Once Rong completes this task, his rank in the Ji Clan Trading Association would rise from B-level to A-level, allowing him to truly stand out instead of his current awkward position.

He was very excited and immediately activated a Sea Ship Acceleration Scroll in his hand.

Immediately, the ship below surged forward, accelerating at an astonishing speed.

"Ha-ha-ha, I see them!"

At this moment, Rong's mouth twisted into a grin, letting out a peculiar laugh and ordering the crew to prepare their cannons for attack.

"Rong, shouldn't we be cautious? What if they have tricks up their sleeves?"

Old Gou instinctively cautioned from the side.

Given their current aggressive momentum, charging straightforwardly toward the enemy without caution could backfire.

However, Rong turned to Old Gou with a look of disdain.

"Gou, why are you such a wimp? Worried about a ship against a medium cargo ship?"

"Our ship's shields have a strength of 2000 energy levels, top-notch. Even if we stood there and let them fire, they'd likely need two minutes to break through our defenses."

"And we only need one shot... to send them to the Death Strait."

Rong grinned at Old Gou, not caring in the least.

Old Gou thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Indeed...if a nearly top-tier ship has to proceed cautiously against a medium cargo ship, they might as well not consider themselves a ship.

Shameful.

A medium cargo ship poses no threat to a ship.

"Everyone ready!"

"This time, no chatting with the enemy. Once we reach attack range, fire directly, leaving them no room to fight back."

Rong shouted, the crew members all at their stations, ready to attack the Salted Fish ahead.

Distance, 20 nautical miles...

19...

17...

15...

12...

The other ship was now visible to the naked eye.

Once the distance narrows to under 3 nautical miles, it's within the ship's effective range.

Narrow it down to 3 nautical miles, and it's their doom!

"Rong, look!"

At this moment, a crew member behind shouted, pointing to the ship ahead, alerting Rong.

"Hmm?"

Rong's gaze fell on the ship ahead, focusing on a massive cannonball slowly rising from the middle, forming a steep parabola, heading straight for the ship.

Seeing this, Rong was startled: "This...a Long-Range Cannon?!"

"Damn, a medium cargo ship equipped with a Long-Range Cannon?!"

Rong felt a chill run through him and immediately ordered the ship to change course, attempting to evade the cannon fire.

But the enemy ship seemed to have some strong data analysis capability, perfectly calculating the landing point of the Long-Range Cannon, the ship's speed, and its potential course changes.

In the instant the ship entered the Long-Range Cannon's range, it already predicted the landing spot.

With the speed scroll, the ship's inertia was immense, rendering stopping or sudden course changes nearly impossible.

At that moment, it looked like the ship was steering straight into the Long-Range Cannon.

"Boom!!"

With a loud explosion, the ship was engulfed in flames the next moment...
