"Full speed ahead, I'll handle the steering!" Li Yuan fixed his gaze on the Khufu Ship charging towards them, focusing with all his might.

Avril was currently unable to assist; she had to pretend to control the steering. However, since the two ships were moving towards each other, it didn't make much difference.

Both ships advanced aggressively, neither showing any intention of veering away.

This was quite an interesting situation. Even though Huang Biao's ship was larger, colliding with Li Yuan's would be unbearable for both. And Li Yuan, well, he had nothing to lose.

But right now, it was all about the momentum. Speaking of momentum, Li Yuan was not one to be outdone by the Khufu Ship. His newly evolved ship had been chased around like a monkey for so long, and Huang Biao and his crew even dared to target his crew members.

As the captain, how could he tolerate this?

"Come on, if you have the guts, don't dodge! I'll crash into you! Worst case, I'll go back to using a bamboo raft!"

He still had a pearl, enough to buy ten pieces of wood and make a bamboo raft without any problem.

The two ships drew closer, and Li Yuan could already see Huang Biao's expression. The guy's face was growing more rigid, and the helmsman behind him kept glancing at the captain, seemingly waiting for orders.

Avril, on the other hand, looked resolute. After the crisis in the Reef Zone, she trusted Li Yuan more than anyone else.

She believed that their captain would surely win!

Just as the ships were about thirty to forty meters apart, someone finally couldn't hold it in any longer!

"Idiots, they want to go down with us. Only a fool would fall for it. Piri, turn the helm to the right!"

The helmsman named Piri sighed in relief. If they collided, he'd be the unluckiest one. As soon as he received the order, his hands, already prepared, swiftly turned the helm, causing the Khufu Ship to tilt slightly and brush past Li Yuan's ship!

Xiao Bei raised an eyebrow, taking a puff from his cigar and exhaling a cloud of smoke. "This captain is quite something."

In terms of momentum, the Khufu Ship had already lost a step.

"Oh! Huang Biao, can't you do it? Not even as tough as a woman!"

"Huang Biao, you coward, how embarrassing, hahaha."

After the two ships brushed past each other, they quickly turned their bows.

Huang Biao had been in this trade market for a long time. His biggest asset wasn't having connections in the navy but his ferocity. It was his ferocity that gave him the chance to meet those navy soldiers, and it was his ferocity that made people here fear him.

But just now, he lost to a woman, which severely damaged his image!

Huang Biao gritted his teeth, squinting his eyes as he stared at Avril.

"You damn woman, want to die, huh? I'll grant your wish! Get the catapult ready!"

Immediately, four crew members ran to operate the catapult.

At first glance, the catapult had only one arm and a chamber, but after they prepared it, Li Yuan realized, fuck, the catapult was actually foldable.

Initially, the arm was folded like a fan, but now, the catapult opened up like a fan, revealing three arms, each with two chambers positioned at different spots!

Li Yuan quickly did the math in his head: two times three equals six! They could fire six projectiles at once!

"Damn, Huang Biao's catapult has been modified!"

"This is impressive, firing six shots at once, it can almost cover a small area. That woman's ship will be hard to maneuver."

"They brought out the catapult so quickly, looks like this is the end."

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

Avril kept her eyes on the catapult on the Khufu Ship, whispering, "Captain, what do we do now?"

"No choice! We only have one wooden spike, it must hit the target. Keep going full speed, I'll handle the navigation!"

Avril's breath quickened. "Captain, we can win, right? You won't leave us behind, right?"

"Of course not, what do you think?"

Avril was scolded, but instead of getting angry, she felt reassured. "Alright, you're the best captain, we all trust you. Our lives are in your hands!"

Li Yuan took a deep breath, focusing intently on the catapult ahead.

"Captain, what kind of ammo should we use?" a burly man asked.

Huang Biao thought for a moment, then a cruel smile crept onto his lips. "Ignite it, use fire bombs, quick! Take them down, I can't wait to see them fall into the sea."

"Yes, Captain!"

"Ammo loaded!"

"Aim... fire!"

Boom, boom, boom, six massive stones, engulfed in flames, shot towards Li Yuan like a giant net.

Xiao Bei watched coldly, "Fire bombs? They must have soaked them in fish oil. Even a slight touch will destroy that little wooden boat."

"Full speed ahead!" Avril shouted, following Li Yuan's instructions.

Ashan and the others gave it their all, vigorously cranking the handles. Ashan even grabbed an empty handle, operating two propellers by herself.

"Captain, it's up to you now!" Ashan shouted excitedly.

To outsiders, it seemed like she was talking to Avril, but Li Yuan knew she was counting on him!

Alright, leave it to me!

Man and ship as one!

Fuck, he was the ship, damn it...

The fire bombs came, and Li Yuan precisely controlled the ship's direction, narrowly dodging the bombs with millimeter precision, weaving through the barrage.

"This..." Sean's brow furrowed deeper, the cigar in his hand burning for a long time, forgotten. "Is that woman really that good?"

Seeing them dodge the fire bombs, Huang Biao wasn't stupid. The second wave of fire bombs was ready.

Weaving, sharp turns, Li Yuan felt his body almost tipping over! Just as he adjusted, he had to tilt to the other side.

Avril and the others were fortunate to have handholds; otherwise, they would have been thrown out with such intense jolting. Rookie, hiding in the cabin, was probably getting tossed around.

Only 100 meters left! 90 meters!

Li Yuan activated the weapon system in his mind.

[The enemy ship's bottom is wooden and unreinforced.] They only bullied others, not really transporting goods, so why spend money on reinforcement?

[The optimal firing distance for the wooden spike is 46 meters.]

The wooden spike's penetration range was 30-50 meters, but firing at 40 meters would give it maximum force!

Boom, boom, boom, another wave of fire bombs came, the closing distance leaving Li Yuan with less time to dodge. The right side of Li Yuan's ship was hit.

The projectile didn't land on the ship, but just a graze set the right side planks on fire.

"Hahaha, you're done for! Die!" Huang Biao laughed wildly. "Fire!"

Another round of fire bombs.

"I'm going to turn you into a beehive!"

Li Yuan stared intently at the incoming fire bombs. If he could dodge this wave, he'd be in the optimal range.

His crew had entrusted their lives to him!

He had only one chance!

"Accelerate!" Li Yuan ordered!
