Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 138 Returning with a Full Load
Another round of bombardment ended.
Su Wang noticed that the remaining enemy warships had all come to a standstill, and even the huge cannons on board had been retracted into the hull.

Seeing this, Su Wang immediately ordered his fleet to stop the attack.

However, after only four rounds of artillery fire and high-altitude bombing by bombers, more than half of the enemy's warships were sunk.

"Now I know to stop."

Su Wang was not surprised by the other party's cowardly behavior.

If we continue for a few more rounds, I'm afraid these last warships will all sink.

Any fleet leader with a little knowledge should understand that this naval battle is a completely equal engagement.

As the Mutual Aid Fleet stopped attacking, the other fleet was finally able to catch its breath.

The remaining warships saw the attack stop,
After waiting for a while, they began to help each other to rescue their fellow sailors who had survived and fallen into the water.

Only one large warship emerged from the remaining fleet and sailed alone towards the Mutual Aid Fleet.

Only one ship approached.
Su Wang speculated that the other party was most likely here to negotiate, or it would be more appropriate to say that they were here to "surrender."

And this scene just happened to be in line with what I expected.

After a while, the warship that sailed alone arrived in front of the mutual aid fleet.

On the deck of the warship, a middle-aged captain with burn marks on his face shouted humbly.

"I am Levin, the captain of the Red Sting Wharf Fleet. I would like your fleet leader to come out and see me."

In the brief battle just now, Su Wang had been steering the Wangxin to the forefront.

Hearing the other party's shouts, he steered the boat dozens of meters away from the fleet.

"I am the captain of this fleet. Captain Levin, are you coming here to surrender?" Su Wang asked directly.

We have already destroyed half of the enemy's combat power, so there is no need to negotiate anymore.

The only thing Su Wang could accept was surrender.

However, when he heard the word "surrender", Levin's face showed embarrassment.

"We have indeed offended your fleet with our actions just now. Could you please let us go?"

Su Wang shook his head and chuckled when he heard this.

"My previous request has already been conveyed to the vanguard team you sent over."

"It's a pity that you're so stubborn in trying to break through our obstruction. Now that things have developed to this point, it's too frivolous to think of leaving now."

Hearing this, Captain Levin's face became even more embarrassed.

"We were the first to offend this time. Please feel free to make any requests you have."

Judging from the brief battle just now, continuing the battle would only result in their fleet being gradually sunk.

Faced with this situation, Levin did not have the confidence to say anything tough.

Fortunately, after the fleet stopped its operations, the other side did not continue to fire, which means there is still room for negotiation.

Levin also knew in his heart that as long as he could save his own life and the lives of his brothers, it would be the best outcome.

Su Wang responded immediately.

"Go back and dismantle all of your fleet's attack equipment. Also, collect the cores of the sunken warships and send several ships to transport them all here."

"As for your remaining warships and crews, please follow us to the Fool's Wharf and stay as guests."

“As for you, Captain Levin, you can go and report to your lord at the dock.

Just tell them that if you want to take back these warships and the captain, please come to Fool's Wharf in person for a meeting."

The meaning of Su Wang's words was very clear.

The only escape for the remaining fleet was capture.

As for whether we can return to Hongshi Wharf safely, it depends on whether the lord of Hongshi Wharf is willing to come and pick us up in person.

When Levin heard this, his face, covered with burn wounds, became even uglier.

He naturally understood the meaning of these words, but he did not report the news of the fleet's defeat back to the dock lord. Instead, he made the decision on his own.

From the current situation,

It was a stubborn resistance, and in the end the fleet was completely wiped out before they could even touch the enemy.

It was still a humiliating capture, leaving more manpower at the dock.

Levin only thought for less than half a second before he realized that his only option was to obey.

"Okay... Please wait a moment. I'll have the fleet dismantle the facilities..."

After uttering these words with difficulty, Levin stood on the deck and saluted before steering the warship back towards his own fleet.

Looking at the other person's lonely back as he left, Su Wang didn't feel pity for him.

I had already given the other party a choice in advance, but it was still them who ultimately decided to stir up trouble.

Since you have made a wrong decision, you have to pay for it.

After waiting for about half an hour, another 30 warships slowly approached.

When the distance is closer,
Su Wang could see a large number of supply boxes scattered and piled on the decks of the enemy warships.

On the warship led by Levin, there are mountains of facility cores and fish souls.

Seeing this, Su Wang drove up alone in a boat, preparing to connect the boats one by one.

The first one is Levin's warship,
Faced with the approach of the Heart of Destruction's ship ladder, Levin could only accept it in humiliation.

Su Wangze came to the deck of the other warship, glanced at the mountain of facility cores, and said to Levin.

"You made the right choice. Being alive is better than sleeping in the cold sea."

After saying that, Su Wang also came to the core of the piled-up facilities and put them all into the fish hold.

Soon, several prompts indicating items stored in the fish hold appeared in sight.

[The fish hold contains 4640 universal black iron ship-borne cannons, 600 universal silver ship-borne cannons, and 340 universal gold ship-borne cannons.]

[890 Black Iron-grade sonar radars and 890 Black Iron external hull armors were stored in the fish hold.]

[Store 2610 bronze fish souls, 860 silver fish souls, and 260 gold fish souls in the fish hold.]

"Tsk tsk...it's quite well equipped."

Su Wang secretly memorized the amount of income information.

After all, when the other dock lord comes to redeem the people, these supplies have to be returned to him.

But there was definitely a price to pay. Aside from the fish soul, which was somewhat attractive to him, he didn't think much of the other onboard facilities.

After all, there are better alternatives in Fool's Wharf.

Then Su Wang went to the other ships,
A bunch of core storage boxes from damaged warships that were salvaged were stored in the fish hold, totaling 1110.

The collection of items is completed.

Su Wang asked Levin to select a temporary leader of the remaining fleet to lead the captured fleet to follow his side.

As for Levin, Su Wang planned to let him go back and inform the lord.

Forced by the situation, Levin had no choice but to grit his teeth and select a team leader to lead the team.

...

More than an hour later, Levin had already sailed away.

Su Wang led the remaining 890 warships of the enemy to meet up with Tia.

Among these 890 warships, there are 1430 sailors.

The extra ones were salvaged from sunken warships.

As early as when the other party admitted defeat,
Su Wang had already asked Tia to lead the fleet to wait on the spot.

In less than an hour, they had caught up with Tia's migration fleet.

Seeing a large fleet appear, Tiaben was very alert.

But when he received the news from his ship division that he was looking through the bomber's perspective,
Tia finally felt relieved when she learned that the leading ship of the fleet was the conspicuous-looking Deathheart.

But Tia couldn't help but feel a little curious.

How come there are so many warships in the fleet after the captain went out?
After the two sides reunited, the captured warship followed the migrating fleet alone.

Tia also sailed to the side of the Wangxin and asked Su Wang on the deck.

"Captain…what are these ships?"

Su Wang chuckled when he heard this.

"The fleet from Hongzhe Wharf only wanted to rob us, but I dealt with them in advance."

"These ships are part of the surrendered captives. I plan to use them to negotiate with the lord of Red Sting Wharf in exchange for some resources."

Tia looked very strange when she heard this.

Captured warships?

This is a rare and precious thing.

She naturally knew the strength of the Mutual Aid Fleet.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Su Wang returned victorious.

Generally speaking, when fleets fight each other, if the difference in numbers is not particularly large, the most that can happen is that one side will suffer heavy losses and be defeated.

If you want to capture the enemy, you must have complete control over the life and death of the enemy fleet.

Tia thought of the Mutual Aid fleet's terrifying range and its highly maneuverable speed.

I'm afraid only a captain like me can do such a thing as capturing three times as many warships with 3 warships.

With the addition of the captive fleet, the size of the migration fleet reached 3 ships.

Among them, more than 2 are warships.

Judging from its scale alone, it is quite intimidating.

Although 890 of the captured warships were not capable of combat, they could still be used to boost morale and deter others.

The subsequent voyage went very smoothly, just as Su Wang had expected.

The deterrent effect of 2 escort warships prevents ordinary ports from being greedy.

After all, this area is located in the outer waters of the Dock Alliance, and a normal dock has only three to four thousand warships, which is already considered good.

With a transport fleet escorted by more than 2 warships, any port with an ambition would have to consider whether it can bite the bullet and whether it will break its own teeth.

By the time they were about to arrive at Fool's Wharf, they had not encountered any fleets with ulterior motives.

Su Wang felt quite sorry about this.

After all, judging from the situation of the captured Red Sting Wharf fleet, the ransom will be a huge sum.

If he could capture another group of prisoners, it would be another unexpected fortune for Su Wang.

...

Soon, the migrating fleet successfully entered the waters under the jurisdiction of Fool's Wharf.

quickly,

Su Wang, who was in the leading position, saw the vague shadows of nearly fifty ships appear in his field of vision.

The direction they were coming from was exactly Fool's Wharf.

"It seems Cao Ge discovered a large number of ships in the waters under the dock's jurisdiction and brought people here to investigate."

"Are there nearly fifty fishermen already?" Su Wang exclaimed.

Since I took all the warships with me during this trip to the Golden Crocodile Wharf,
Therefore, what now appears in sight must be the fishermen's vehicles and boats.

However, at this time, Su Wang received a call from the dock, and it was Cao Ge who initiated the call.

After Su Wang chose to answer the call, Cao Ge's anxious voice came immediately.

"Boss, it's not good!
There are so many ships coming to the dock, please teleport back! Lao Cao, I can’t handle it anymore!”

Su Wang immediately laughed and scolded.

"Why are you panicking? This is your boss, I'm back."
