The battle ended as soon as it began.

With overwhelming power and the advantage of stealth and darkness.

These elite guards from the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce had a short-lived defense. They succ.u.mbed to the onslaught of diverse creatures, including Naga warriors, Shallow Sea Murlocs, and Pure Water Sea Sea Pixies, falling like dominoes, one after another.

When the casualty rate reached 50%, the entire team instantly collapsed. The remaining members dropped their weapons and surrendered, as fear had completely taken over their minds.

Although they were told there were only a hundred or so second-tier enemies, what they saw now were third-tier enemies across the board, and their combat strength was terrifying. They had hardly any ability to resist.

Faced with the b.l.o.o.d.y deaths and slaughter, these guards wisely surrendered.

Looking at this group of defeated and broken soldiers, Ji Chen did not choose to slaughter them all.

He only ordered the pirates who arrived later to tie them up and deal with them later.

Understanding this situation was the most important thing now.

In addition to ambushing in the jungle, Ji Chen also sent a small group of Murlocs, Murloc Rangers, and pirates to the several ships anch.o.r.ed on the sea surface, taking advantage of the weak defenses to secretly seize the ships and cut off the enemy’s escape route.

Willow, who was attempting to flee through the jungle, was swiftly apprehended by the allied forces that had seized control of the ships and subsequently returned him to captivity.

Upon laying eyes on Willow once more, Ji Chen found him tightly bound, resembling a bundled rice dumpling, his face etched with frustration.

When Willow saw Ji Chen, he became somewhat frightened.

But then, as if he remembered something, his face suddenly calmed down, and he said sharply, “I advise you to untie me and safely send me away. Otherwise, if I die here, Lord Ga.s.sani and the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce will not let you off. Death will await you!”

But then, as if he had thought of something, his expression suddenly calmed down

Ji Chen looked at him like he was an idiot, wondering if there was something wrong with him.

He was still so arrogant even when he was about to die.

Seeing that Ji Chen didn’t say anything, Willow thought that he had successfully frightened him, so he said in an even more domineering tone, “Do you think you’re great just because you’ve dealt with two ships of guards? Allow me to enlighten you; the might of the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce surpa.s.ses your wildest imagination. Lord Ga.s.sani alone can muster a fleet of ten ships such as this, and he commands an even more formidable army and navy, comprising the elite forces of unparalleled prowess.”

Ji Chen squinted his eyes, catching a crucial keyword, “Did you say Ga.s.sani?”

With the pride of a dog hearing its master mentioned, Willow immediately became boastful, barking madly, “Absolutely! My master is none other than Lord Ga.s.sani. I am his most trusted lieutenant, wielding great power. If you’re wise, you’ll set me free and surrender this archipelago willingly. Perhaps then, Lord Ga.s.sani might grant you a chance to escape… Ahh!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Anina, unable to bear it any longer, lunged forward. Her fists came down like a relentless rain, pummeling Willow mercilessly. “I’ve tolerated you for far too long. Even at death’s door, you dare to speak with such audacity. I won’t tolerate your arrogance.”

After a thorough beating, Anina stepped back with a satisfied expression, leaving Willow in a pitiful state. She hadn’t joined the previous battle, itching for a fight, and now she had the perfect opportunity to vent her pent-up frustration on this fool.

“I give up, I give up… I surrender,” Willow cowered on the ground, trembling and sporting a battered face with swollen eyes. Bruises covered his body, and several of his teeth were missing. His speech was now slurred.

However, it was thanks to Anina’s restraint that he wasn’t beaten into a pulp with her immense strength, comparable to that of a whale. Physically speaking, that is.

Observing the guy finally quieting down, Ji Chen squatted in front of him, sighing, “If you had cooperated from the beginning, you wouldn’t have endured such pain and suffering. What’s the point?”

“From now on, you will answer my questions promptly, understood? Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to let her continue using you as a punching bag.”

Upon hearing this, Willow’s head bobbed like a woodp.e.c.k.e.r. He cast a terrified glance at Anina, who was eagerly flexing her fists, leaving him with a mix of fear and resignation.

Who could have foreseen that such a small girl, seemingly delicate, possessed such an alarming strength? She nearly beat him to a pulp.

One could say that he’d prefer a swift death by beheading rather than enduring this kind of merciless pummelling.

“You mentioned Ga.s.sani. Who is he? And what role did he play in this operation?”

“Lord Ga.s.sani is a member of the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce and the main architect of this operation.”

“Is he on the same level as Raymond within the chamber?”

“In theory, yes. However, Lord Ga.s.sani has been a member for a long time, whereas Raymond joined only in the last couple of years. In terms of power, he holds a slightly higher position among the many members.”

Ji Chen nodded, then continued, “You mentioned Ga.s.sani being the main planner. Does that mean other members of the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce were directly or indirectly involved?”

Willow hesitated for a moment, but upon seeing a mischievous smile creeping across Anina’s face, he quickly replied, “Yes, indeed! To mobilize the chamber’s guards, the consent of multiple members is required. Hence, the majority of members agreed to partic.i.p.ate. However, Lord Ga.s.sani himself proposed the plan, and others provided support. I’m just a lowly subordinate following orders. So, if you seek revenge, you should confront them directly..”
