Chapter 644-Reveal of the Scheme

As the battle between the alliance squadron and the Sky Wolf Pirate Organization got underway, the Telan Pirate Organization and the Plum Pirate Organization suddenly appeared behind the alliance forces, surrounding them.

The scheme from the last life reappeared

However slow the Somalia players were, they would have figured out that they were played. How was this hunting the pirates? It was clearly the three pirate organizations hunting them.

The roles of hunter and hunted instantly switched.

"Guys, don't panic. Shrink the formation and sail toward the voyage squadron." Zheng He tried to take over command of the alliance squadron by sending flag signals over to the alliance army warships.

Some of the warships came over; some were in chaos and disorder, and some of them acted like they did not see the signals.

The ocean surface was in utter chaos.

Hundreds of warships going left and right among cannon fire. If one did not pay attention, it was easy to knock into one another. The scolding, the cannons sounds, the killing shouts, and the cries for help all mixed together, making one's head nearly blow up.

At the crucial moment, the difference between a proper army and a player army showed.

The warships that were mainly formed of NPCs basically all chose to crowd toward the voyage squadron. On the other hand, those with players charged toward the pirate ships to try to fight their way out.

In less than twenty minutes, the three pirate organizations had succeeded in surrounding them.

All of a sudden, many chains and planks were placed onto the warships of the alliance squadron. The most cruel and gory cross-warship battle was about to begin.

As the warships were too close to one another, even if the voyage squadron wanted to fire, they would only hit allies.

Helplessly, they could only accept the cross-warship battle.

Tens of thousands of weirdly dressed pirates waved their crescent blades as they crossed onto the warships, shouting out weird chants and squeals.

The adventure gamemode players on the warships were not to be beaten so easily, and they charged up. At this point, they did not have time to care about the entire situation or the fates of the sailors.

The only thing they thought about was cutting down those damn pirates.

Killing shouts spread out across the entire ocean region, forming a majestic spectacle.

The strong voyage squadron naturally became the biggest target of the pirates.

Unfortunately, they had miscalculated as the sword-shield soldiers and archers of Shanhai City were not rookies.

Especially the navy soldiers of the voyage squadron, after the flames of the country war, they had quickly matured.

How could normal pirates be their opponents?

The voyage squadron became the toughest bone for the pirates. Corpses were piling up on the decks, and the pile was growing higher and wider.

This raised the morale of the entire squadron.

"Brothers, we can't lose to our friends, kill them!" the commander of the alliance warship shouted.

"Kill!"

All of a sudden, the alliance squadron slowly regained their footing.

Originally, the overall numbers of the alliance squadron were higher than that of the three pirate organisations. However, they were caught off guard, which affected their mental state.

The moment they adjusted, the winner and loser of this battle became uncertain.

Under Zheng He's leadership, the strength of the alliance squadron was shown; they knew when to advance and when to retreat.

Through their show of strength, the voyage squadron earned the recognition of the Somalia players. Even though the voyage squadron was suffering some losses, Ouyang Shuo felt that it was worth it.

However, the battlefield changes quickly and things often happened when you least expect it. Just as the alliance squadron's morale reached its highest point, the mole started to act.

To the mole, it would be best if they did not need to revealing their identity. However, the situation left the mole with no other choice; if they did not act, the pirates would definitely lose. If that happened, the pirates would expose them.

Furthermore, if they did not act, the mole would face the crazy revenge of the pirates.

The pirates of the Gulf of Aden were impossible to remove in one shot. They were like weeds, you remove one, after winter, they would grow back.

Hence, this mole already had no way out and could only be the bad guy all the way. The situation at hand only happened because he had underestimated the voyage squadron.

The voyage squadron had used bloody facts to inform the pirates what a true navy was.

……

On the battlefield, a weird conch sound broke out.

Even among all the noise and chaos, one could still hear this sound clearly. Like they had received a signal, the Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group suddenly turned around and attacked the Shanhai City Navy.

The mole was the leader of the Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group, Farrah.

To prevent the mole from learning that they had discovered his plot, Ouyang Shuo had not told the Shanhai City Navy that they were surrounded by a bunch of moles. Hence, as they were unprepared, they were caught totally off guard.

Under the attacks of both the moles and the pirates, the Shanhai City Navy suffered heavy injuries.

Especially because the moles were extremely crafty, targeting the weak archers. As for the cannoneers, they were all the more the targets for assassination.

This was extremely vicious.

Besides Ouyang Shuo, Farrah pulled out his long sword and chopped at Ouyang Shuo. However, it was like Ouyang Shuo had eyes on his back, and he moved the Tianmo Spear, blocking the sword.

Farrah was shocked and instantly backed off.

"You finally couldn't hold it in." Ouyang Shuo turned around, extremely calm.

Farrah was astonished and could not help but say, "You knew?"

"The black clothed men were also planned by you, right?" Ouyang Shuo said.

"Seems like you knew." Farrah's eyes focused; he had already calmed down.

Such a strong mental state was not something that many people possessed.

"I'm really curious, how did you find out?" Farrah did not understand, "I thought everything was perfect; it shouldn't have been so obvious."

"Perfect? You're too arrogant. Someone told me that there was a mole in the alliance army. As for who it was, my informant couldn't confirm. I thought it was Di Da, but it later proved it wasn't him."

Naturally, no one told him about the mole, he just used these words to scare Farrah.

"Why wasn't it Di Da; didn't all the evidence point to him?" Farrah asked.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "Too perfect an evidence is itself a flaw. That night, only you knew my path, so only you could have revealed it. Originally, I only suspected it, thinking that it was just someone from within the mercenary group and not you."

"Then?" Farrah asked.

"You hurried to kill Di Da to push the blame onto him. It seemed smart, but it revealed that you were guilty. As an alliance commander, allowing outsiders to kill such an important member isn't something a normal person would do. The only explanation was that you were planning something."

Ouyang Shuo shook his head in amusement, "Hence, I basically knew that you were the mole. What made me 100% sure was that you arranged the members of the mercenary group to board the voyage squadron; this smelled too much like a scheme. From far away, one could already smell it."

"...."

Farrah was totally speechless, and his face turned black. The performance he thought was perfect made him look like a clown to the enemy. Nobody could accept such a matter.

This was especially so for someone as arrogant as Farrah.

"Since that was the case, why didn’t you try to expose me?" Farrah tried to make a last struggle.

"If I exposed you, would people believe me?"

The world was just so magical, people were only willing to believe the facts they saw for themselves. One could imagine what others would think if Ouyang Shuo tried to expose Farrah.

Before the war, the Somalia players had close to zero trust toward the voyage squadron.

One had to say that in dealing with Di Da, Zheng He had acted too rash. Killing him helped take revenge, but it also broke the relationship between Shanhai City and the Somalia players.

Of course, under those circumstances, he could not have made a rational decision. Even if he let Di Da go, Chen Dameng would not.

"So you purposely didn't do anything to wait for me to expose myself so that the others could see? You are acting as the fishermen to collect the spoils?" Farrah asked, his face ugly to the extreme.

"Since you put it like this, I won't disagree." Ouyang Shuo said calmly.

A light flashed across Farrah's eyes as he said, "You're too confident!"

"You aren't as confident as I thought you were!"

"Hen." Farrah did not want to talk anymore, "Your archers and cannoneers are basically all dead. Even if you hold on, you can't fight the pirates."

In truth, this was not all that Farrah had.

Apart from killing the archers and the cannoneers, he had tried to kill Ouyang Shuo and Zheng He. They were the core figures of the voyage squadron, if they died, the alliance army would be thrown into chaos.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo was prepared. His 200 Divine Martial Guards were disguised as normal soldiers and protecting them. With that, the assassination attempt naturally failed.

As for Ouyang Shuo, do not even joke about it!

What could Farrah alone do to Ouyang Shuo?

Ouyang Shuo waved his Tianmo spear, smiling, "Care about your own fate first!"

He charged forward as he spoke these words.

Ouyang Shuo was the core of the alliance army, and Farrah was the core of the Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group. If he took Farrah down, things would be halfway to success.

As for the archers and the cannoneers, Ouyang Shuo had naturally prepared some defensive measures when he learned that the mercenary group were moles. Long before they set off, more than half of the archers and cannoneers were hidden in the cabin, not to leave.

This also meant that even if they were sneak attacked, the firepower of the voyage squadron could still be used.
