Chapter 413: Chapter 381 Next Step
“Quick! Bring City Lord Rocky onto my ship!”
After the battle ended, the severely damaged War Steed slowly descended into the forest, and then Berg immediately had someone bring Rocky onto his flagship. At the same time, Karina had already led the Void Magic Warriors to
“How many cargo ships are left?”
Hearing about the cargo ships, Berg hurriedly asked.
“How should I know? Go ask them yourself later, I’ve already had someone count.”
After rolling her eyes at Berg, Karina sat down on the largest and most beautiful chair in the cabin.
“Sis, be careful, that chair is made of Purple Magic Wood and costs tens of thousands of Gold Coins!”
Seeing Karina dressed in Armor and sitting on his favorite chair, Berg felt a pang of pain.
“Really?”
He had been better off not reminding her, but once he did, Karina arched her eyebrows, and with a flick of her finger, left a mark on the armrest of the chair, almost bringing Berg to tears.
“My lords,”
Just then, an aide under Karina’s command knocked on the door and entered.
“Speak.”
Turning her head to look at the aide, Karina nodded her head.
“My lords, the damage assessment has been completed. We lost a total of twenty-one warships, including thirteen Escort Ships and eight destroyers, ten of which, including the War Steed, were severely damaged and might be unable to continue fighting,” the aide reported.
“Regarding the personnel, no Void Magic Warriors were injured, the crew…
Standing at the door, the aide quickly finished the post-battle report.
The three people in the bedroom exchanged glances after hearing the aide’s report.
“You may leave.”
Waving her hand, Karina dismissed the aide, leaving just the three of them in the bedroom.
“What do you think?”
“The losses are much greater than we anticipated…”
After a glance at the other two, Berg said with a distressed expression, and neither Rocky nor Karina could deny it with a shake of their heads.
Indeed, the losses from this battle were much greater than they had expected.
According to their original estimate, the losses from attacking the trade convoy and ambushing the support forces should have been kept to under ten warships, but unexpectedly, Lapaton’s counterattack was too fierce; fifteen of the twenty-one lost ships were sunk while trying to block them, which was far beyond their expectations.
So what should they do about their next plan?
For this attack, Rocky and his team had devised a complete set of plans, but now the plan was barely underway when it faced an unexpected blow, catching them off guard.
So after a brief silence, Karina and Berg looked towards Rocky, since he was leading this operation and was responsible for its execution. Faced with such a significant setback at the start, whether to continue or not was naturally for Rocky to decide.
Facing the gaze of Karina and Berg, Rocky furrowed his brows and didn’t speak easily.
Twenty warships destroyed, ten more incapacitated, leaving them with only about fifty ships capable of participating in further battles—an exceptionally tight situation if they were to proceed with the operation, posing significant risk.
On the other hand, if they chose to retreat, they wouldn’t lose too much, because, as the aide had reported, of the more than twenty merchant ships they had initially captured, seventeen were still intact. Taking all these ships with their cargoes would not only cover their losses but could even allow them to profit a bit, at least ensuring they wouldn’t incur a loss.
However, if they chose to flee, they would have to run as far and as fast as possible, tucking their tails behind them, because it wouldn’t be long—maybe a few days, or a week to ten days later—before the Rebel Army could thoroughly investigate everything they had done. Then, they would inevitably face relentless pursuit until the end of the war.
Therefore, what they did next became crucial…
