After the others were taken away, Xiao Xingyue curiously asked, "Why not just let him handle it directly and instead take such a roundabout route?"
Ren Zhong laughed and said, "Being forced to do something and choosing to do something for survival are fundamentally different. Alright, during the next leg of the journey, there will be no surprises. Implement the shift model, fleet full speed ahead, and strive to reach the Storm Base as soon as possible. We don't have much time left."
Two months later, the Armed Merchant Fleet split into two routes.
One route had five hundred warships, led by Ren Zhong himself. The majority of elite forces were on these five hundred warships, continuing to advance towards the Storm Base.
The other route had one thousand five hundred warships, led by Zheng Tian, turning to attack the most likely hiding place of the Fang Pirates.
