Chapter 665: The Maze Moves
Two large cargo ships, hundreds of small boats, over fifteen hundred people, a grand parade moving forward in the fog. Such a spectacular formation should have boosted morale, but everyone remained on edge.
Gu Fan stood at the bow, faint outlines of an island revealing itself through the fog, indicating their imminent arrival. He knew they wouldn’t be so lucky to have two foggy nights in a row, so this time they must acquire something useful after landing on the island.
Under Qian Feng’s command, two small boats were sent ahead to scout. After a signal flare rose from the island, the rest of the troops followed.
Over ten ships headed toward the island, hundreds of pirates wading through the waters to land. After meeting with the advance party and confirming safety, they relayed the information through whistles.
Qian Feng, the Boss, Gu Fan, Su Hui, Ouyang Jin, Xu Haowen had also landed. Despite having more people this time than before, Gu Fan felt as if something was missing.
Ouyang Jin couldn’t help but sigh, "We need trusted people to secure the escape route, and also to serve as hostages. I’m finding that we’re short-handed."
In response, Qian Feng scoffed disdainfully, "How could we be short-handed? Aren’t there a great many pirates?"
Countering, Su Hui stated, "They ultimately don’t share the same goals as us. If anything goes wrong, it’s unlikely they would stand with us."
"You make it sound as if we three factions are united." As Qian Feng continued walking, she cast a spell, easily lifting the fog shrouding the island, revealing the land more clearly.
