Chapter 52 Fleet assembled, traces found
At the same time, Lu Kai finally understood that in this era, turmoil is the norm, peace and stability are only accidents, and the personal and property safety of many people are not guaranteed at all.
For the next month, Lu Kai did not leave Quanshui Town, but waited for the results of Russell's investigation. Because there was a port next to Quanshui Town, Lu Kai could set off as soon as there was news.
The days of waiting were long. Every day, the tragic scene of Buhebang Village would appear in Lu Kai's mind. When he thought of this, Lu Kai could hardly control himself.
Because of this, Lu Kai trained even harder, as if he wanted to vent all his hatred through training.
After learning about the situation in Clam Village, Dimo and Sina could only sigh silently. They understood Luke's feelings very well, but reminded him to be careful when chasing after the Vulture Pirates if he really found any trace of them.
Fu Ya had been with Lu Kai all the time during the past month. She was very sad when this happened. So even though she was smart, she didn't know how to comfort Lu Kai. She just hoped to make Lu Kai feel better in this way.
Fu Ya has always been like this. She is the one who likes to bully Lu Kai the most, but she is also the one who treats Lu Kai the best.
It was a full month later that Lu Kai received a call from Russell.
Russell told Luke that after combining and analyzing information provided by multiple parties, the location of the Vulture Pirates has now been basically confirmed.
The Kingdom has organized a fleet and will immediately march eastward to destroy the Vulture Pirates. At that time, the fleet will pass through East Port, not far from Fountain Town, and will arrive at noon two days later.
Russell asked Lu Kai to arrive at Donggang on time to reunite with the fleet. At the same time, Russell also asked Lu Kai to serve as the temporary captain of the fleet.
The moment he got the information, Lu Kai's whole demeanor changed, like a sword that had been unsheathed and would never be sheathed until it had drunk blood.
This time the operation was jointly carried out by the two countries and the navy, who were determined to catch the Vulture Pirates in one fell swoop.
The 138th Naval Branch dispatched a branch major general named Akaitis.
Akaitis had chased the Vulture Pirates several times before, but they escaped every time.
Now Akaitis is determined to catch the Vulture Pirates in one fell swoop.
The kingdom that cooperated with Itachisia was the Kingdom of Aaron.
The Kingdom of Aaron is also a member of the World Government, and several of its towns have been massacred by the Vulture Pirates before.
So two ships were dispatched this time, and the leader was Xiusai, the commander of the Aaron Kingdom army.
The leader of the Itachisia Kingdom fleet was naturally Luke.
Two days later, the fleet arrived. When Lu Kai saw it from a distance, he could not wait to use the "Moon Step" to jump onto the ship, and then led the fleet to the rendezvous point mentioned by the navy.
Two days later, the three fleets successfully met up and, led by the warships, headed towards their destination at full speed.
As the fleet moved forward, Akaitis invited the leaders of the two kingdoms' fleets to go aboard the warship for a pre-battle deployment meeting.
"Humph, I really don't know if King Russell's brain is broken, he actually let a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair participate in the mission of encircling and suppressing the Vulture Pirates.
"Even if you want to steal the credit for your own cronies, you can't choose this time, right?" Ever since entering the conference room, Aaron Kingdom's leader Xiusai had been looking at Lu Kai with displeasure.
After taking his seat, Xiu Sai expressed his dissatisfaction without any scruples.
Lu Kai just glanced at Xiu Sai coldly, then turned his head away without saying a word.
During the past month, Lu Kai hardly spoke a word, because the anger in his heart was always filling his nerves.
Now that he finally had hope for revenge, Luke just wanted to find the Vulture Pirates as soon as possible and didn't care about Shusai's attitude at all.
“Oh, you have quite a temper!” Xiu Sai saw Lu Kai’s eyes and felt that they were provocative, and continued to taunt him, “If you don’t accept it, you can come and practice with me, so that I can teach you a lesson.
"It will also let you know that people like you are only fit to tease maids and cats in the palace. So you'd better withdraw now to avoid embarrassing yourself on the battlefield."
"You bastard, what are you talking about?" Before Lu Kai could get angry, someone behind him immediately became dissatisfied.
Pointing at Xiu Sai's nose, he angrily shouted, "When our Lord Lu Kai single-handedly killed 17 bandits, you were probably still wearing open-crotch pants and suckling your mother's milk."
“How dare you!” Xiu Sai slammed the table and stood up, his face flushed red and his eyes widened with anger.
Lu Kai also stood up at this moment and looked at Xiu Sai coldly. He didn't want to cause trouble, but he was never afraid of trouble and it was impossible for him to let his people suffer at this time.
If Xiu Sai showed any aggressive behavior, he would immediately pin him to the ground and make him unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
Moreover, Lu Kai could crush a guy like Xiu Sai with just one finger. The reason why he didn't care about it at the beginning was because the opponent was too weak, which made Lu Kai not even interested in caring about it.
The man who spoke for Luke was named Cody. He was the deputy captain of the guard of the Itakisia Palace and also a loyal fan of Luke. He could not accept Luke being humiliated.
"We are here to encircle and destroy the Vulture Pirates, not to start an internal conflict." Rear Admiral Akaitis of the Navy Branch said angrily.
Xiu Sai had no choice but to suppress his anger and sit down, staring at Lu Kai with cold eyes without blinking.
"Sir Akaitis, let's get back to the topic!" Luke said to Akaitis calmly, ignoring Xiu Sai's ridiculous look.
"You..." Xiusai suddenly got angry.
Because Lu Kai's expression clearly showed that he didn't take him seriously at all, even the provocative words he just said were regarded as dog barking by the other party.
At this moment, Akaitis glared at Xu Sai fiercely. He really couldn't have a good impression of this fool who couldn't distinguish the priorities.
On the other hand, although Lu Kai looks young, he is more stable and sensible, which makes Akaitis admire him very much.
Three days later, a fleet appeared ten miles east of the uninhabited island of Nice, with a total of twelve ships.
At this moment, everyone on the boat was either nervous or excited.
Because just now, the people who went to investigate ahead returned and told Akaitis that they found the pirate ship of the Vulture Pirates on the north coast of an uninhabited island called Nice Island.
Everyone immediately began to act according to the previous battle deployment.
Five miles away from Nice Island, the fleet split up and formed an encirclement formation, heading towards Nice Island from three directions.
"Captain, that bastard Xiu Sai is targeting you!" Cody on the side cursed very unhappily.
"Just target us!" Lu Kai didn't care and still commanded the fleet to head to the south of Nice Island, because the attack from the north was snatched away by Xiu Sai.
"Captain, aren't you angry at all?" Cody said anxiously on behalf of Lu Kai.
"Why get angry at someone who's rushing to die?" Lu Kai chuckled.
"Rushing to die? The captain is saying that Xiusai can't beat Luodan?"
"Cody, how much do you know about the strength of pirates?" Lu Kai asked back.
"This..." Cody was really stumped by the question.
