Chapter 1374 The Pirates Retreat

The cries for mercy first came from the marginalized people, and then those who were closer to their boss and had the power to speak began to persuade their boss.

The boss over there put down his weapon and raised his hands, asking people to step back.

As they retreated, the people on the boat stopped shooting.

Ye Zifen watched all this quietly, thinking secretly in her heart.

She noticed that there was less than a third of arrows left in everyone's quiver, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips.

She raised her hand, signaling everyone to stop attacking, then looked coldly at the enemies begging for mercy, wanting to hear what they wanted to say.

Her expression was serious and indifferent, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Although Ye Zifen had understood some of the enemy's words, in order to ensure accurate understanding, she still asked her master to help translate.

The master translated the enemies' words into Chinese, and Ye Zifen listened carefully.

It turned out that the enemies were willing to let them go and promised not to attack Ye Zifen and others when they passed through this sea area in the future.

After hearing the news, Ye Zifen frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Ye Zifen said, "That won't do! Tell them that we will send people to garrison here next time we come. In addition, they must give us an island, otherwise we will attack without hesitation and capture the island directly. Don't forget, we still have powerful weapons that have not been used yet!"

The master translated Ye Zifen's words into their own language and conveyed them to the pirates on the opposite side.

After hearing this condition, the other party was obviously unwilling to accept it.

The boss immediately shook his head to refuse, but his companion beside him whispered something in his ear.

Soon, the boss fell into deep thought.

Ye Zifen was not in a hurry. She waited patiently for the other party's response, while also giving her people a chance to have a good rest.

After all, they had just experienced a fierce battle and needed time to recover their physical and mental state.

On the other side, the pirates were discussing how to deal with the conditions proposed by Ye Zifen.

One of them said to their boss, "Although they asked us to send people to garrison the island next time, at least for now, we still have some time to prepare. We can use this time to gather more people and find ways to obtain those advanced weapons and equipment. In this way, when they come next time, we will be more confident to fight against them."

Another person agreed, "That's right. It's best to agree to their terms and let them leave. When they come again, we can make a decision based on the specific situation. Besides, they just want an island. We can give them the shortest one. Anyway, it's still deserted and has no value."

After listening to these suggestions, the boss secretly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

After some thought, he finally nodded, indicating that he agreed with his subordinates' opinions.

As a result, the two sides finally reached an agreement in the negotiations.

Seeing that the other party finally agreed, Ye Zifen breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly: "Tell them to retreat immediately!"

After the pirates returned to their ships, Ye Zifen ordered again: "Set sail again in half an hour!"

Upon hearing this, everyone put away their weapons, organized their boats, and retrieved the canoe.

Four large ships were moving slowly on the sea.

Ye Zifen stood at the bow, looking around, alert to possible dangers.

He didn't return to the cabin until he was sure the surroundings were safe, but he didn't completely let his guard down.

After all, only by sailing out of this sea area can we truly feel at ease.

After the boat had been sailing for about half a day, Mu Hongzhou suddenly walked up to Ye Zifen and asked, "You just said you wanted to attack that island. Are you serious?"

Ye Zifen nodded and replied, "Of course, if they still refuse to give way, this is the only option."

Mu Hongzhou's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth? You are absolutely crazy! Do you know how many martial arts masters there are on our ship? And there are hundreds of them on their island!"

Ye Zifen smiled and responded calmly: "So what? Are we going to live in fear forever? If we show weakness, we will definitely cause more trouble in the future. It is better to do this, at least it can make them afraid."

Mu Hongzhou stared at Ye Zifen quietly. She found it hard to understand when this girl developed such a strong gambler's mentality.

He couldn't help but feel a little angry, and asked her: "Do you think this is just an easy game and you can joke about people's lives at will?"

However, Ye Zifen smiled disapprovingly, "Master, don't you know me well enough? I am at least 80% sure of success if I do this."

Mu Hongzhou became more and more confused and asked her, "Why are you so confident?"

Ye Zifen patiently explained: "The reason why I dare to do this is because she has already mastered the layout of the island."

She knows her enemy's weaknesses and uses them to confuse her opponents.

And when she mentioned the water dungeon that she had initially proposed, Mu Hongzhou finally understood the deep meaning behind it.

It turned out that Ye Zifen deliberately mentioned the water dungeon in front of the enemy just to plant a thorn in their hearts and make them worry about their safety at all times.

Mu Hongzhou suddenly understood, but there was still one question unanswered.

Since Ye Zifen already understands the situation on the island, she should be aware of the number of enemies. Why should she take the risk of letting the enemy attack?

Faced with Mu Hongzhou's questioning, Ye Zifen sighed helplessly.

"I dared to take the risk because I believed the enemy also had concerns. Although the enemy appeared aggressive on the surface, they were actually full of fear and anxiety. They were worried that we were fully prepared, so they did not dare to give up easily. The creation of this tense atmosphere caused both sides to fall into a stalemate."

Mu Hongzhou asked in confusion: "But they also attacked later!"

Ye Zifen smiled and explained, "If they surrender without a fight, they will not only lose their dignity, but also find it difficult to convince others. In addition, they also want to take this opportunity to test our strength. Of course, this is one of the reasons why I have not used the heavy weapons on the ship."

Mu Hongzhou suddenly understood and secretly sighed in his heart that this seemingly innocent girl was actually so smart and clever.

She suddenly sighed, "If you and Gao Yi were fighting on the border together, it wouldn't take long for you to completely conquer the enemy!"

However, Ye Zifen shook her head, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
