While Wang Fan was actively preparing for battle, the Black Wind Alliance was in complete chaos.
"After searching for so long, you still can't find anyone named Li Fan. What are you doing?" the leader of the Black Wind Alliance roared angrily.
"Chief, this vast sea only sees occasional ships coming and going, but we haven't found any trace of Li Fan," the subordinate replied tremblingly.
"A bunch of useless trash! What good are you! You haven't even found a single person in all this time!" The leader glared angrily. "Increase the search efforts! If you still can't find them, you can all prepare to feed the fish!"
“Boss, please calm down. We’ve searched everywhere we can think of. Could it be that he’s not even in this area? Or perhaps he used some special method of concealment?” another subordinate said, forcing a smile.
"Hmph! I don't care, keep looking, don't come back if you can't find it!" The leader kicked over a chair next to him.
"I refuse to believe he can just vanish into thin air! If I find out any of you dare to slack off, you'll know what I'm capable of!"
The subordinate said tremblingly, "Leader, could it be a nickname? Maybe we've been looking in the wrong direction all along."
The leader roared, "Whether it's a nickname or not, it's better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free! Even if we have to turn this entire sea upside down, we must find him for me!"
The subordinate quickly replied, "Yes!"
They then began searching everywhere, leaving no ship or corner unchecked.
The Black Wind Alliance's ships rampaged across the sea, causing panic wherever they went.
Meanwhile, Wang Fan gradually noticed the unusual atmosphere around him.
Wang Fan frowned and said, "Has the Black Wind Alliance gone mad? Acting so recklessly, aren't they afraid of offending everyone?"
What Wang Fan didn't know was that the one-eyed strongman he killed last time was the younger brother of the Black Wind Alliance leader.
That's why the leader was so frantically hunting him down, determined to tear him to pieces.
Wang Fan was well aware of the seriousness of the crisis, and he quickly opened the system trading platform.
They began using their accumulated resources to exchange for a large amount of materials needed to manufacture artillery shells.
Seeing Wang Fan so busy and anxious, Xiao Meng couldn't help but complain to her younger sister Su Yalin, "The Black Wind Alliance is too evil. They're just a bunch of bullies who bully people everywhere without any reason."
Su Yalin nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's made us so nervous now."
Su Yaqi said with a serious expression, "Stop complaining. Let's train hard and improve our skills so we don't become a burden at crucial moments."
Qin Xiaoxuan also said, "Yaqi is right. We need to seize the time to train and not cause trouble for Wang Fan."
Hua Nianci gently encouraged everyone: "Sisters, let's cheer each other on and we will definitely get through this difficult time. Don't let Wang Fan look down on us."
The women nodded in agreement, their resolve strengthened.
Qin Xiaoxuan began organizing everyone for more targeted training, while Hua Nianci carefully inspected the weapons and equipment to ensure everything was in perfect working order.
Xiao Meng and Su Yalin stopped complaining and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to training.
Wang Fan was frantically manufacturing shells, his clothes soaked with sweat, but his hands never stopped moving.
Finally, after tireless efforts, Wang Fan successfully manufactured 10,000 shells.
He straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his eyes revealed confidence and determination.
"Haha, all done. I'd like to see what this damn Black Wind Alliance can do to me!" Wang Fan thought to himself. "With these cannonballs, even if they all come, I'll still have a fighting chance."
Wang Fan began to picture the Black Wind Alliance's miserable state under the bombardment of artillery shells.
Their ships were riddled with holes, flames leaped up, and black smoke billowed out.
The usually arrogant and domineering members of the Black Wind Alliance were thrown into a panic and fled in all directions.
Some were injured by the explosion and fell to the ground, groaning in pain; others jumped directly into the sea and swam desperately, only to be mercilessly battered by the waves.
Wang Fan imagined the leader of the Black Wind Alliance, that arrogant guy, whose face was now filled with fear and despair.
His former power was gone, and he could only watch helplessly as his influence was gradually destroyed.
Thinking of this, Wang Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He turned to look at the group of people who were training intensely, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
"Who says women are useless? Look at them, training so diligently and hard. Add some artillery, and this time we'll blow the Black Wind Alliance to smithereens," Wang Fan muttered to himself.
Then, Wang Fan went up to the deck and said loudly, "Everyone, take a rest first. Only by combining work and rest can we better cope with the upcoming battle."
Upon hearing this, the women all stopped what they were doing and gathered around.
Su Yaqi said, panting, "Wang Fan, we're not tired, we can keep practicing."
Wang Fan replied with a smile, "I know everyone's determination, but a proper rest is for a more powerful attack. Come on, have some water and something to replenish your energy."
Qin Xiaoxuan nodded and said, "Wang Fan is right. Let's conserve our energy and then give the Black Wind Alliance a good beating."
Hua Nianci smiled and chimed in, "Yes, Wang Fan is right. A balance between work and rest is essential to better cope with crises. We can't just act recklessly."
Hearing this, everyone relaxed a bit and started drinking water, eating, chatting and laughing.
Xiao Meng and Su Yalin sat together, eating their food and chattering about funny things from the past.
Su Yalin asked Xiaomeng curiously, "Sister Xiaomeng, is that cannon really that fun?"
Xiao Meng replied with a smile, "That's not just for fun, it's incredibly powerful! When the Black Wind Alliance comes, I'll teach you how to fire the cannon."
Su Yalin clapped her hands excitedly: "Great, Sister Xiaomeng, it's settled then, you can't lie to me."
Xiao Meng patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I was the one who controlled the cannon in the last battle. Its power will absolutely amaze you!"
Su Yalin's eyes were full of anticipation: "Wow, Sister Meng, you're amazing!"
Wang Fan looked at the two people hiding in the corner and asked in confusion, "What are you shooting at?"
Xiao Meng blushed instantly and hurriedly explained, "Brother, don't misunderstand, I was just talking to Ya Lin about operating artillery in battle."
Wang Fan smiled and said, "Oh, I see. I thought you were talking about something else."
Wang Fan continued, "Xiao Meng, I think you're getting worse and worse, and you often say things that can be misunderstood."
Xiao Meng pouted and retorted, "No way, I'm just sharing my experience with Ya Lin."
At this moment, Su Yalin chimed in with a smile, "That's right, Brother Wang Fan, don't talk about Sister Xiaomeng."
Wang Fan glared at Xiao Meng and said, "Xiao Meng, don't corrupt Ya Lin, or you'll face the family rules!"
Xiao Meng stuck out her tongue and made a face: "Hmph! Fine, I'll discipline you then! Who's afraid of who!"
Wang Fan was about to teach Xiao Meng a lesson when he saw her like this when a ship suddenly appeared in the distance.
