Chapter 318 Tail x Bait
"Grass (a kind of plant), who is it?" Xia Jieren cursed angrily.
Seventeen large merchant ships will not cause any serious damage to the Umbrella Group.
What really makes Xia Jieren angry is that he still doesn't know who the rat in the dark is.
"I'm very sorry! I disappoint the Lord." On the screen, Marcus lowered his head and said guiltily.
Xia Jieren waved his hand and consoled them, "It's okay! You did a great job."
No matter what, Xia Jieren would not vent his anger on his loyal subordinates.
After that, Xia Jieren said in a cold voice: "Kerrigan, find out the mastermind as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Kerrigan answered seriously.
After making the arrangements, Xia Jieren waved his hand and said, "You guys go get busy first."
"Yes!" Marcus bowed and stepped back.
Umbrella Group Headquarters.
Marcus' eyes were cold, and he cursed inwardly: "Damn you, you made me fail the Lord's expectations. Don't let me know who it is, otherwise..."
Just as Marcus was about to urge the intelligence officer, the secretary pushed the door open and walked in.
"Sir Marcus, here's the latest intelligence." The secretary handed the information to Marcus with a serious expression.
Marcus took it and only glanced at it twice before he cursed, "Damn it! It's never going to end, is it?"
After cursing, he suppressed the urge to kill and continued reading.
As time passed, a smile appeared on Marcus' face.
Seeing the end, he couldn't help but say: "Well done, you are worthy of being my subordinate."
"Such important news was not forgotten in this dangerous time."
Seeing that Lord Marcus was so happy, the secretary took the opportunity to ask, "Lord Marcus, what should we do next?"
This question made Marcus a little confused.
He stroked his chin and thought, "It's a bit difficult."
"The enemy has the ability to move freely in the sea, so it's hard to catch them!"
The intelligence just now showed that the enemy came from the bottom of the sea.
Don't get me wrong, they are not mermen or mermaids, but humans riding in submarines.
Marcus pondered for a moment and said, "Stay alert for now. I will ask the Lord for instructions first."
The secretary nodded in understanding.
A moment later, Marcus contacted Xia Jieren again.
When Xia Jieren saw Marcus contacting him again within two minutes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
After seeing Xia Jieren, Marcus said directly: "Master, we have already got a glimpse of the enemy's tail."
"Oh~" Xia Jieren was a little surprised.
After all, it was only a short time ago.
However, Xia Jieren also didn't think that Marcus would deceive him.
So, he asked with interest: "Who is it?"
Xia Jieren wanted to see whether his enemy was the character that appeared in the original work.
"Uh~, I'm not sure who it is yet." Marcus touched his head awkwardly.
"Okay." Xia Jieren responded helplessly, feeling a little disappointed.
Marcus then reported the information he knew.
"Just now, two more merchant ships traveling between the Drum Kingdom and the Alabasta Kingdom were attacked."
"According to the footage secretly filmed by the merchant ship's staff, the enemy was riding a submarine and had the ability to move freely on the seabed."
After listening to this, Xia Jieren understood a little and said, "No wonder they appear and disappear like ghosts."
"Not only that, there must be some very powerful guys in the submarine."
"Otherwise, they won't be able to stop the scouts moving at high speed in the air."
Marcus nodded and agreed, "That's right!"
Then he asked again: "Master, I hope to get support."
"Okay!" Xia Jieren agreed without hesitation, "I'll let the airship worm transport energy blocks worth 1 million energy to you first."
"You can produce some sea king worms to escort merchant ships."
Hearing this, Marcus said happily: "Yes!"
After ending the call, Marcus said excitedly: "Damn rat, I'll see where you can escape this time."
Another half an hour later, ten airship worms loaded with energy blocks slowly rose into the air.
One day later, thousands of sea worms were hatched.
At the same time, Marcus released the news: Two days later, the Umbrella Group will send thirty large merchant ships to transport a batch of timber from St. Poplar Island to the Seven Waters City.
This news was passed through layers of channels and reached the ears of those who were interested.
Gaya Island, Mogu Town, Dark Harbor.
In a dimly lit room, three people sat around a coffee table.
A tall and mighty man spoke first: "Boss, have you heard?"
The middle-aged man sitting in the first seat, who was called the boss, stroked his beard twice and replied with a smile: "Of course."
On the right side of the coffee table, a man with eyes as sharp as an eagle asked cautiously, "Have you checked it out?"
The boss nodded, then shook his head.
Seeing the two looking over, he said seriously: "If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a bait."
"The Umbrella Group is probably trying to use this to lure us out."
Hearing this, the two of them were slightly stunned.
But they didn't say anything in rebuttal.
Countless times have told them that they can trust their boss's intuition.
The tall and mighty man asked calmly, "Are we going or not?"
"Go! Why not?" The boss said with a smile, "This is also our opportunity."
"Although the Umbrella Group does not have any experts in charge, it is developing very fast and its influence is very widespread."
"The opportunity to inflict serious damage to the umbrella protection team in one fell swoop is right in front of us. How can we miss it?"
"As long as this is successful, our Deep Sea Shipping Company will monopolize the trade and transportation of Paradise's underground world."
The other two agreed with the boss's words.
After chatting for a while, the boss waved his hand and said, "Okay! You guys go get ready too."
"In three days, we will ambush the Umbrella Group's fleet near the Seven Waters."
......
Time passes quickly like running water.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
This time, Marcus personally led thirty merchant ships and set off in a mighty manner.
What no one expected was that when the fleet passed by the Navy G-8 Branch, the commander of the G-8 Branch, Lieutenant General Jonathan, actually took the initiative to contact Marcus and expressed his willingness to provide him with help.
Marcus was moved for a moment, then decisively refused.
But he left Lieutenant General Jonathan's contact information and said that they could strengthen cooperation in the future.
After this little episode, the fleet continued to move forward.
After being away from the G-8 branch of the Navy, pirates appeared frequently.
Some pirates who were not afraid of death wanted to rob people on the road, but without exception they all ended up dead in the sea.
After killing a chicken, the monkeys following behind it scattered like birds and beasts.
Marcus was extremely nervous throughout the whole process, paying close attention to what was happening under the sea.
Just in case, the Sea King Worm was neither too far nor too close to the fleet.
Make sure that when a battle occurs, the Sea King Worm can come to support in a short time.
