Chapter 413: Section 201: The Biggest Traitor Appears
Cang Xu thought hard about how he could go all out to help the Fishmen reclaim Twin Eyes Island.
“For the Fishmen, the biggest obstacle is that demon energy ship flying in the sky!”
“Seizing this ship with my strength is impossible.”
“Then, what about destroying it?”
“Unless I can control the Deep Sea Monster Fish and bombard it.”
“The Deep Sea Monster Fish is also a Golden Level demon energy ship, posing a significant threat to Hun Tong’s flagship.”
“However, this flagship’s performance has not been fully demonstrated yet.”
“Even if I control the Deep Sea Monster Fish, I might not be able to bring it down.”
“Moreover, with Zi Di controlling the ship, and squad leaders and Zong Ge involved, they will not sit idly by.”
Cang Xu immediately abandoned the plan to return and take control of the Deep Sea Monster Fish.
He continued to think deeply, “I am only at Black Iron Level, I can’t do anything to Hun Tong’s flagship, but against a Golden Level like Hun Tong, I pose a certain threat.”
“However, the ghosts and Undead Magic in my hands are not enough to severely damage a Golden Level.”
“Golden Level is not a suitable target, but Silver Level I can handle!”
Dealing with the likes of Golden Level Hun Tong, Cang Xu knew he was merely at Black Iron Level and simply did not have the strength.
But assassinating other Silver Level backbones of Twin Eyes Island was feasible for Cang Xu, leveraging the characteristics of the Undead Faction.
Up until now, there weren’t many Silver Level under Hun Tong’s command anymore.
The Commander of the City Guard died first.
Soon after, the Zi Lin Fishman killed the Alchemist.
Remaining are the Pharmacist and Cyclops, still active.
“Kill these two first!”
“Then consider Ku Feng and those Silver Level Lone Rangers.”
“As long as I cause a collapse among the Silver Level of the Human Race, it will inevitably affect the struggle at the Golden Level, and the Fishmen will be able to take the advantage.”
Cang Xu’s thought process was very clear, almost within a few seconds, he had made a reactionary plan.
Having once been a noble’s housekeeper, he was deeply knowledgeable about human nature.
The Human Race was indeed powerful, and the Fishmen were completely at a disadvantage, but the Fishmen were not entirely without hope.
Once the situation turned unfavorable, Lone Rangers like Ku Feng would start to waver.
One person fleeing might trigger more to escape, ultimately leading to a rout.
Morale was a very critical factor.
Historical records showed that many battles where the few defeated the many, and the weak overcame the strong, arose in this way.
If Hun Tong had half the ability to train troops that Zong Ge did, it wouldn’t have reached this state.
But he did not.
He was very talented in business, and his combat power was adequate. His greatest trump card was his Golden Level flying demon energy ship, indeed formidable.
Yet he also had flaws and weaknesses.
He had run Twin Eyes Island for many years and surprisingly had not formed a combat team.
His military force was small.
His Silver Level subordinates were unreliable, with no one capable of sharing his burden independently.
“Hun Tong places too much emphasis on business development.”
“He controls the size of the military because the long-term military expenses are a huge expenditure.”
“The cost of forming a combat team is also very high.”
“He has not hired strong Silver Level members at great expense, his few Silver Levels suffice under normal circumstances.”
“Because he wants to attract pirates to Twin Eyes Island to settle their debts, he also doesn’t improve his weaponry and military force drastically, at least so the pirates don’t feel too threatened.”
Cang Xu analyzed continuously in his heart.
Hun Tong’s weak points were his military force and its key members.
Catching this weakness and attacking fiercely might offer a chance to turn the tide.
Numerous ghosts revolved around Cang Xu, making him appear cold and terrifying.
Ya Ma retreated further and further!
In her eyes, Cang Xu was still at Silver Level.
“No wonder in the previous battle, he only used Fire Magic and Magic Scrolls.”
“It turns out he never used his real methods!”
“Curse it.”
“He’s actually a Silver Level Undead Mage!”
“Was there any connection between him and the Undead Mage who died on Twin Eyes Island previously?”
Ya Ma’s avoidance of battle was very obvious.
Cang Xu was completely free to act.
He gazed far into the sea, towards the direction of the Patrol Fleet.
Cyclops was the leader of the fleet.
If he died, the patrol fleet’s strength would suffer greatly.
“It’s too far.”
“To fly there, I would face attacks from the flying demon energy ship.”
“Rather…”
Cang Xu turned his head to look in the other direction.
The Dragon-man youth, Zong Ge, Chi Lai, the Pharmacist, and the Deputy Command…
“He’s actually an Undead Mage!” the Pharmacist exclaimed in shock.
“Is he with the previous Undead Mage?” the Deputy Commander wondered, unsure.
The two of them did not yet know that they had become targets of Cang Xu.
They followed behind the Dragon-man youth, Zong Ge, and though the revelation of Cang Xu’s identity had frightened them, they still felt safe.
The next moment, they saw Cang Xu advancing towards them with an army of ghosts from a distance.
“He’s attacking!”
“Don’t worry, with the Dragon Lion commander here, this Undead Mage is just courting death!”
The Deputy Commander and the Pharmacist shouted loudly, trying their best to stabilize the morale of the City Guard.
The Dragon-man youth glanced at the two, then looked towards Zong Ge.
Zong Ge frowned, feeling troubled.
Chi Lai clenched his teeth, gearing up: “Undead Mage, such a wicked being must be judged by justice!”
On the deck of the Golden Shiny.
The Fishman clan leader and Hun Tong were locked in fierce combat.
The clan leader burst forth with a deadly resolve, his demeanor fierce, attacking more than defending, with wide and powerful swings.
Hun Tong, on the other hand, moved frequently and with incredible agility, circling around the Fishman clan leader, mounting a series of rapid assaults.
The clan leader gasped for breath.
He had risked his life to board the enemy’s flagship to cause damage, but Hun Tong’s dense offensive forced him into a defensive counterattack strategy.
Hun Tong was also tired.
He excelled in assaults and had a strong offensive. Consequently, his defense was somewhat weaker.
He had to attack with all his might, using his offense to limit the Fishman clan leader’s assaults and protect his own flagship as much as possible.
Despite this, the aftermath of their battle was borne by the flagship, and the deck was already damaged in several places.
Hun Tong, pained by the damage, attacked even more fiercely.
He launched a dense assault, and the Fishman clan leader, attempting to buy time for his clansmen to escape, had to defend vigorously.
The situation was perilous for the clan leader, for any slight oversight, allowing Hun Tong to land a hit, would result in a severe injury.
Both exerted their full strength.
Thus, the encounter did not last long; both their reserves of Fighting energy dramatically plummeted, and both their physical and mental energies were severely depleted.
Suddenly, Hun Tong leaped, pouncing towards the left side of the Fishman clan leader.
Just as the clan leader was turning to face Hun Tong, he heard the sound of a fierce wind howling from behind.
The clan leader roared, Golden Fighting Spirit flashing, and in the nick of time, it condensed into a specially made helmet covering the back of his head.
Boom.
Hun Tong’s Alchemy Avatar’s attack struck the Fighting energy helmet directly, shattering it.
But its assault was neutralized.
The Fishman clan leader seized the opportunity to counterattack, sending Hun Tong’s avatar flying.
But the next moment, Hun Tong, bowing his head, shrank his body to below one meter in an instant and slipped to the side of the clan leader.
A golden dagger was about to puncture the clan leader’s kidney.
Chilled to the bone, the clan leader cursed silently, knowing it was too late to turn.
Just as he braced himself for a severe blow, Hun Tong astonishingly tumbled aside, withdrawing his hand and distancing himself from the clan leader.
“Huh?!” the clan leader widened his eyes, his face full of astonishment.
What had happened?
He couldn’t believe it.
Could his life-long nemesis really have just spared him from a crippling blow and withdrawn voluntarily?
“Did I just see that wrongly?” the clan leader began to doubt his own eyes.
But an even more surreal scene occurred next.
Hun Tong, having distanced himself, stood still. His eyes were bloodshot as he said to the clan leader, “Ceasefire! I can help you reclaim your homeland!”
The clan leader was utterly stunned, seriously doubting if he was hallucinating.
Not only Hun Tong’s physical form, but even his Alchemy Avatar had voluntarily ceased the attack.
“You can kill me now, I won’t resist,” Hun Tong said earnestly.
After speaking, he tossed the golden dagger onto the deck.
The clan leader blinked repeatedly, about to act, but restrained himself, suspecting it to be some trickery of the Human Race.
Hun Tong continued, “But killing me won’t be of greatest help to you.”
“The greatest threat is my flagship, this Golden Shiny!”
“The second threat is me and others like Song Shou, Yan Ding, these Golden Level individuals.”
“Following them are all the Silver Level.”
“If you kill me, you can’t take over this ship, and you’ll have to face the backlash from Song Shou, Yan Ding.”
“Even if you can repel the Golden Level and drive away numerous Silver Levels and annihilate the City Guard, the Patrol Fleet, and others, how many of your clansmen will remain?”
The clan leader put his hand to his forehead, “Wait, is this…”
“Could this be a Devil’s Coin?”
Hun Tong was taken aback, “Ah, so it’s a Devil’s Coin.”
“That method is really great!”
He gave a thumbs up, sincerely admiring.
Seeing his opponent admire their method so openly left the clan leader with a strange expression, a mix of joy and a trace of terror.
The power of the Devil’s Coin was so astonishing it could completely transform his arch-enemy!
Such was the power of gods.
The clan leader was also aware of the secret of the Devil’s Coin.
Previously, the Naga Priest had discussed it with him.
Moreover, the pirate group dealing with Devil’s Coins, originally from the Green Fish Coral Tribe, had close connections with them.
“How did the Devil’s Coin end up in your hands? Nevermind, that’s not essential,” the clan leader shook his head, “How exactly can you help us?”
Hun Tong said, “I can feel this power changing my will, though it’s potent, it’s rapidly fading.”
“So, we must act urgently!”
“First, using the Golden Shiny, I will deal with Song Shou, Yan Ding, these Golden Level individuals, and slaughter as many of my subordinates as possible, along with people from the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corp and various Guilds, to clear obstacles for you.”
“Next, I will transfer the authority of the Golden Shiny to you.”
“Lastly, I will commit suicide. Use my head to crush the morale of the Human Race.”
