Chapter 804 - 388: Beat up Hai Gang, painfully regret and surrender!
Before, Lord Suo Lun was overjoyed when he heard that Haigang’s Fleet was moving southward. He even had the Zhi Yan Princess use reverse psychology to quicken Haigang’s descent. He did this to have Haigang quickly arrive at the battlefield and attack the Rock Demon from both the front and rear, aiming to annihilate them.
At that time, the Suo Lun Fleet had just begun using solid shot for long-range attacks. Despite achieving very ideal results and seeing hope for victory, he still felt that it might turn into a protracted war. Defeating the Rock Demon’s hundred-thousand-strong navy alone was challenging, and he needed Haigang’s forces.
In Suo Lun’s view, aside from some personal grievances, there was no conflict of interest between him and Haigang; in fact, there was strong complementarity.
On the contrary, there was a huge conflict of interest between Haigang and the Rock Demon. Therefore, when Haigang’s main fleet entered the battlefield and saw Suo Lun gaining the upper hand, he would definitely make a decisive move and pincer the Rock Demon from front and back, completely aligning with the Hai Family’s interests.
However, Suo Lun had underestimated the power of artillery in naval warfare.
He hadn’t expected that when the distance closed, the chain shots, grape shots, and canister shots would be so devastating. In just under a day, they nearly annihilated the entire Rock Demon force, while Haigang’s Fleet was still hundreds of miles away from the battlefield.
Thus, in thoroughly defeating the Rock Demon, Suo Lun didn’t need Haigang’s Fleet anymore.
When the Rock Demon led his own fleet to flee, Suo Lun thought of using Haigang’s main fleet to completely annihilate the Rock Demon.
Because the opportunity was too good, as the Rock Pirates’ ten thousand fleet collided head-on with Haigang’s main fleet.
