Chapter 170 overwhelming force_1
Phoenix Tail Island.
Safra had gathered more than 700 pirate ships, 200 of which were reinforcements from Amy Swan.
These pirate ships were arranged along the coastline, forming a dense array.
The coastline was shallow, with depths of only about 10 to 20 meters, allowing ships to float, but the Sea Beast Enke’s massive body couldn’t move freely. After all, the tentacles of a giant octopus were hundreds of meters long, and its body even longer at three to four dozen meters. Entering the shallow waters, it would run aground.
This tactic was specifically devised against Enke.
On Phoenix Tail Island.
More than three thousand troops were assembled, with over sixty cannons at the shore ready to fire at any enemy who landed.
Phoenix Tail Island was the stronghold of Safra, King of the South Sea. Over the course of a hundred years, several generations had fortified it like an iron barrel; even the navy dared not attack the island head-on.
Laurent Swann, who had acquired the Sea Beast Enke, also did not directly attack the strongholds of other pirate kings, but instead planned to take over Herd Island and gradually deal with the rest.
Paul had unexpectedly led more than a hundred newly subjugated pirate ships to attack Phoenix Tail Island. Safra could only shake her head at his fearless ignorance.
She was determined not only to scatter Paul’s fleet but also to capture the Sea Beast Enke.
After all, a sea monster was nothing more than a large octopus.
