Digging Your Own Grave

Eric Qian's fleet was quickly reduced to just two ships; all the others had been hit and sunk.

At this moment, Eric Qian was utterly dumbfounded. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Lily Evans's fleet was custom-built by the world's most advanced shipyards—ocean-going cargo ships that were not only incredibly sturdy, but also the fastest afloat.

In fact, Lily Evans's ships could easily catch up to any vessel on the sea.

And that wasn't even the most impressive part!

The real kicker was that Lily Evans's fleet had long been equipped with the world's most advanced Scarlet Cannons to guard against pirates!

These cannons had incredible range and devastating power!

Meanwhile, poor Eric Qian, clueless as ever, led his ragtag fleet and primitive catapults to attack the world's strongest, fastest, and most heavily armed ships.

Which was, frankly—just asking for trouble.

Eric Qian watched helplessly as yet another ship was struck. The crew on his own vessel had completely lost their nerve—panicking, running about, screaming, some even jumping into the sea in blind terror.

Eric Qian sat alone on the deck, scared out of his wits.
