Chapter 184: Rich
of equal strength should be soldier against soldier, general against general, king against king.It's still the same principle: when a high-ranked card master uses a card to resolve a low-level situat..."Captain, keeping half our crew makes no sense whatsoever. We suffered heavy losses in this battle and are practically out of commission. The remaining men wouldn't even be able to hold off the Ice Dragon for half a day. Writing this, I hope readers remember our domain name," said the captain, his left hand still bandaged, rapping his right hand heavily on the table.
The commander looked seriously at everyone present and sighed.
"Actually, the hope of survival by retreating was almost non-existent, but it was always a hope nonetheless."
At this moment, Lu Cheng suddenly spoke up.
"All you captains, please don't despair! I propose a bargain with you!"
Everyone looked at Lu Cheng in surprise. What time was it, and he was still making a deal
"I'll rest for the night first. Tomorrow, I will do my best to repair the Behemoth. All of you can board and leave with the wounded via [Spirit Voyage]!"
"Master Lu, what are you saying If we all leave, wouldn't it be the same as none of us leaving at all The Ice Dragon will catch up to us eventually. Spirit Realm travel can't last forever," the Commander frowned and said.
"No." Lu Cheng stood up, taking the nautical charts of the reconnaissance ship from the table: "It's all of you hiding and leaving. I and the [Holy Maiden] will swagger into this sea area, be discovered by the reconnaissance ship, and attract the attention of the Ice Dragon!"
"Master Lu, are you crazy"
Everyone present thought Lu Cheng was crazy. Today, on the ice floe, his single-handed assistance was indeed amazing, but even if he was strong, facing a legendary card and a team of card masters alone, what else could it be besides insanity.
But none of the captains present directly denied it. If there was no land support, the Ghost Fleet wouldn't have been able to leave the harbor, and none of this would have happened. He couldn't be the enemy, but this all seemed too absurd.
"I'm not crazy, I checked when I arrived. The field trap cards are practically depleted, we can no longer use our control tactics. Staying with half the people and me alone makes no difference." Lu Cheng stated confidently.
He was right, without enough trap cards and control magic, even a larger number of people would be like a joke in front of the legendary ice dragon.
"Can you guarantee that you can hold back the Ice Dragon alone" The one-armed captain took a deep breath.
"Can you guarantee that keeping half will be enough" Lu Cheng asked back.
The captain took a deep breath. Everyone present was whispering to each other, heads bowed in hushed conversation.
"Quiet!" The Commander slammed his fist on the table. "Master Lu, you call this a negotiation First, tell me what you want."
Lu Cheng's gaze lifted from the nautical chart before him, looking at the captains seated around him.
"I want it all!"
"1, 2, 3! Lift!" Lu Cheng shouted, directing the deckhands to raise the mainmast.
He just didn't participate anymore, the after-effects of the synchronized deck's firepower were really severe.
"Master Lu, I've checked again. There's only one more damage in the lower hold. The long voyage should be fine."
"No, we must eliminate all safety hazards. I'll go right away." Lu Cheng quickly descended the hatch.
The Bechomo is undergoing its final checks.
On the Lu Cheng road, I saw that the medics had already placed all the wounded on the middle deck, and necessary supplies were stacked below on the ghost ship.
The quick repair was complete, mission accomplished.
"The half-mast check is complete, the Beecham can set sail at any time."
"Alright, I'm going. I'll take out the frontmost scout ship across from me right away. That way they'll know I'm here." Lu Cheng was about to board the Holy Maiden.
"Hold on," the Commander called out to Lu Cheng, "You just said you wanted to make cards. We can't possibly know the specifics, but we believe in you. After all, without you, we wouldn't even have been able to leave the port."
"Why are you saying these things Isn't this the time to talk about something else" Lu Cheng sounded a bit confused.
"To be honest, my son... he's on the team for our academy cup competition this time. She should be in [New London] right now. As long as she's alive, I don't want to die." The commander patted Lu Cheng's shoulder with a handful of sawdust.
"Me too, I was thinking that after this battle, I'd go back home and get married!" The female adjutant beside her also chimed in.
"As soon as you hear the cannons, set off immediately. Don't stop for a moment. I believe you will survive." Lu Cheng said.
"Oh So that card is called 'Cannon'" the Commander laughed. "No, what I mean is, don't die on me, kid."
"Well, Captain, these battleship cards and other cards belong to the Ghost Family. You only gave them to me according to wartime regulations, I still have to confirm the contract with Uncle Brito. I just got rich, and I don't want to die." Lu Cheng shook his head and smiled.
"Alright then, see you in New London!"
"See you later!"
Lu Cheng fired a volley of shots, crippling the reconnaissance ships of Jiao Guo. He then turned his ship and sailed towards his predetermined destination at sea.
The gigantic [Soul-Stealing Sail] was temporarily erected on the [Holy Maiden], and the [Shadow Manta Ray] followed closely behind the ship, scouting at the rear.
With no more trap cards, staying put is pointless. Now it's all about full-throttle escape.
Hua Xiong said, "Being a ghost ship captain certainly isn't ideal, but it's the best we can do for now."
Lu Cheng now has very important things to attend to.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Cheng slipped back into the domain card.
"Little ghost, where did you get so many boats They're all broken and filthy!" Meng Po looked at the ghostly fleet on the North Sea tributary with a bewildered expression.
Sixteen spectral warships of the Purple 10th Star, eight heavily damaged, two contaminated, four lightly wounded, and the rest intact!
The debris from the main stream couldn't stop and the severely damaged ones were thrown directly onto the bank.
"Summon 【Wedding Dress】!" Lu Cheng summoned the wedding dress with his backhand and threw it to Meng Po: "Sister, here you go. Take a walk with her for a while, I'm really busy!"
Lu Cheng drilled back to the black card and directly chose Luban's Bamboo Forest.
This time, he doesn't need a painting boat to lead the way. As long as he has been to a place, he can directly choose the location card.
As soon as he blinked, Lu Cheng appeared beside the bamboo hut. The sound of knocking and hammering came from his ears.
"Uncle, we're rich!" Lu Di rushed towards the small house.
"What are you yelling about Wait a minute." Lu Ban was hammering on a chain.
Riku climbed up.
"Master, what is this"
Before Lu Ban could finish his sentence, a voice came from inside the hut.
"Land brother, this is my brother's chain~"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Chengwen turned to look. Bai Wu Chang was fanning himself leisurely as he strolled out of the house.
As soon as Lu Cheng saw Bai Wu Chang, he felt a warmth towards him. After all, they were old friends who had once sailed on a pleasure boat together. He greeted him with a smile,
Hello, Qijie!
When Bai Wu Chang saw Lu Cheng, he immediately furrowed his brows. As a soul collector, he was naturally sensitive to souls, and at a glance, he detected that Lu Cheng's soul was weak.
"Brother, this girl is pretty good, but you're taking things too far, aren't you Let me tell you, if you keep this up..."steamed bun fell to the ground. He hurriedly picked it up and blew off the dust."Thunder is also a celestial phenomenon. Combining it with astronomers' theories, I think it's worth a try." Lu Cheng sa...
