Watching the mermaid in the surveillance cabin daintily picking at her food, Sariel felt a sense of relief and eagerly ordered the fleet to return to the city at full speed.
Just then, the ship's radar issued an alert: "Four suspected treasure hunting ships detected approaching from the southwest and southeast!"
Sariel asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
The captain, however, remained calm: "When lions are hunting, hyenas tend to linger nearby. These treasure hunting ships are probably here to clean up some valuable fish meat. Your privileges have been greatly depleted in this battle. Shouldn't we let the fishing boats clean up the battlefield a bit to make up for the consumption?"
Lurking hyenas?
The butler reminded, "These treasure hunting ships are highly likely to intervene as NPCs! They're waiting for us to be exhausted from battle to attack, and hidden powerful figures can't be ruled out!"
