201: If you fall behind, you will be beaten

The driver was stunned on the spot.

Relying on the satellite map in the Hafke vehicle, he could basically drive wherever Raven said he wanted to go.

But… Asara?

Didn't you damn people descend upon us?

Hammer Brother, who was beside him, noticed the driver's predicament.

He helplessly glanced at Raven, then leaned into the driver's ear and whispered:

"First, take us to some land."

The driver nodded blankly, then secretly stole a glance at Raven, who was grinning sinisterly nearby.

That expression made the driver shiver involuntarily.

Fortunately, he knew how to operate a ship, which made him useful to them; otherwise, he had no doubt that the person in front of him would kill him immediately.

As for whether he would be spared once they reached their destination, that was up to fate.

An opportunity was always better than none.

Just as the driver turned the ship to prepare to leave, Raven behind him had already disappeared.

Although he didn't know why, he immediately seized this glimmer of hope and prepared to leave quickly... The drivers of the other few ships successively encountered the same thing.

Raven stood on the deck of one of the ships, arms outstretched, a crazed smile on his face.

"I told everyone I would let them regain their freedom!"

From the direction of the prison, countless figures in yellow prison uniforms cheered as they rushed towards the ships.

They greedily breathed the air outside, the air called freedom.

It wasn't until the decks of several ships were filled with figures in yellow prison uniforms that these ships slowly began to move.

And Raven turned his head, noticing that the first ship was now sailing away into the distance.

Raven's face showed a ferocious anger.

Inside the ship.

The driver was congratulating himself on his narrow escape when he suddenly heard that chilling whistle music again.

The driver froze, his face filled with disbelief, and his head slowly turned mechanically.

At the same time, he prayed frantically in his heart.

However, when he turned his head, he indeed saw that same face again... "What I hate most is betrayal."

"If you help me, even if it's not sincere, I won't kill you."

"And, I will incorporate you into New Asara, to become my people."

"But, you betrayed me."

After speaking, Raven directly shoved a gas bomb into the driver's mouth.

The gas quickly filled the driver's body and permeated the entire cockpit.

But Raven's figure had already vanished.

Leaving only the driver whimpering and wailing... 2 hours later.

On the sea, Raven stood on the deck.

Not far ahead, there was another Tidal Prison.

Raven returned to the cockpit and said to the driver who was operating the ship:

"Stop ahead; there are our people of New Asara there."

After Raven spoke, this driver showed a difficult expression.

He wasn't coerced by Raven.

In fact, during these two hours of interaction, these drivers had roughly understood what Raven wanted to do.

He wanted to rebuild a brand new Asara.

And Raven affectionately referred to these drivers as his people.

Although Raven's Madness appearance initially made them feel very uneasy, after getting to know him, they found that it was not the case.

In fact, Raven made them feel more at ease than the leaders of their original countries.

"Leader... our ship is already full; we can't carry any more compatriots."

Hearing this, the originally excited Raven suddenly deflated.

"Are there any Hafke islands nearby?"

The driver checked the satellite map, then nodded.

"Yes, Leader... But, are you going to attack the island and seize ships?"

Raven did not answer, but his expression already confirmed it.

"Leader... even if we capture it, there won't be any extra drivers..."

Raven waved his hand.

"Among the brothers who got on board together, some know how to drive."

"Go to the island, and have the people driving the ships behind follow."

After speaking, Raven placed a hand on the driver's shoulder.

"Don't worry, you won't need to participate in the battle later; just wait until we're done."

"Also, I will send people to protect your safety."

"If the attack fails, you can just run."

The driver's expression was blank, his gaze long unable to leave Raven's face.

Originally, upon hearing that people would be sent to protect his safety, the driver thought it was for surveillance.

To prevent these drivers from escaping with the ship during the operation.

But the subsequent sentence made the driver change his perception of Raven again.

"Yes, Leader."

"For... New Asara."

...Xia Country — Northeast Region.

"Damn it, this scale, these Sakura Country people who live well are really going all out."

Fuji held military binoculars, looking at the aircraft carriers and ships sailing from the distant sea.

There were even small groups of aircraft on both sides of the aircraft carriers.

"9500 meters... they've entered my firing range, should I shoot?"

Shen Cangsheng lay on the mountaintop, speaking into the microphone in his helmet.

"At this distance, the power against vehicles will be greatly reduced, but hitting the people on the deck is no problem."

"Anyway, bullets are unlimited."

Hearing Shen Cangsheng's words, Fuji shook his head helplessly.

The gap between people was too great.

At this distance, he had to use military binoculars, set to maximum magnification, just to barely see clearly.

Even a slight tremor of the hand would cause the image to shake drastically.

"Don't shoot yet," Liu Yan's voice came through the helmet's earpiece.

"Shooting now will cause them to react; if they start indiscriminate bombing directly, it will be difficult."

"Wait until they enter the ambush zone."

Not long after, Chen Yu's voice also came through.

"Liu Yan, I still can't quite believe that Zhao Chuang can really blast a hole in a ship from the bottom of the sea?"

Chen Yu's voice was full of doubt and disbelief.

Although he had witnessed Zhao Chuang's strength, this was a bit too incredible.

Liu Yan's lips curled into a smile, and he hummed softly.

Since the descent three years ago, and after the battle with Reis, Zhao Chuang's strength became exaggerated.

He basically hadn't used Fossil since then.

After all, his strength was already sufficient; he just needed to find some items that could extend his attack range and swing them around.

Although the dragon claw could make Zhao Chuang's strength even more exaggerated, in many cases, it wasn't needed for clearing small fry.

It was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"Gurgle gurgle, Brother Yan, gurgle gurgle, when do I, gurgle gurgle, make my move?"

"Chuangzi, don't open your mouth underwater. Although the buoyancy compensation equipment allows you to move freely in the water, talking will still fill your mouth with water."

"When it's your turn to act, Liu Yan will naturally tell you."

Cai Ning lay on a beach chair, smoking, and spoke into the helmet beside him.

On the small table next to him, there was also a coconut with a straw inserted into it.

Anyone who didn't know might think Cai Ning was on vacation.

But for him, it was indeed almost like a vacation; he couldn't help much.

He could only find a distant place to watch the battle and listen to what everyone was talking about in the microphone.

At this moment, the entire pier, whether underwater, on the cliffs, or even in the dilapidated residential buildings, was completely ambushed by Xia Country Operatives.

Almost everyone was equipped with mandel brick gear, and many of them used reinforced versions.

Beside them, main weapons were uniformly parked.

Behind them, a large open area was filled with blue eagle helicopters waiting to take off.

Surrounding the sea, 5,000 blade servers faced the sea. Once approached, the people behind the blade servers would press the switch.

Although the distance was not enough to attack them, it could isolate them on the sea, used for containment.

Compared to the Sakura Country, which launched a full-scale attack, Xia Country was rather rudimentary.

Facing such a large-scale battle, the things that could be done with only special items were very limited.

Even the vertical and horizontal, with a range of 50 meters, felt somewhat powerless in this situation.

But this was already Xia Country's entire strength at present.

The vast land area meant that Xia Country had not yet explored overseas.

Long Wu put down his military binoculars, his face grave.

"The Xia Country predecessors were right."

"If you fall behind... you get beaten."
