Seeing the unfavorable situation, Latin Wei immediately ordered a retreat.
His ships were continuously sunk, and his Pokémon suffered heavy losses; fighting any longer would only lead to complete annihilation.
He gritted his teeth, glaring at Dawn's warships, his heart filled with unwillingness and anger, but at the moment, saving his life was paramount.
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat immediately!" Latin Wei roared into the megaphone, a hint of panic in his voice.
He quickly recalled his Pokémon; Blastoise and Tentacruel were returned to their Poké Balls, but the two Kingler were firmly entangled by Eevee and Swampert, unable to break free.
Latin Wei gritted his teeth, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
If he delayed any longer, Dawn's shells would soon fall on his head, and his life would not be guaranteed, so Latin Wei finally decided to abandon the two Kingler.
"Leave all Tentacool to cover our retreat! Everyone else, full speed ahead!" Latin Wei roared.
Following his command, a large group of Tentacool were left behind, attempting to hinder Dawn's pursuit.
Latin Wei, meanwhile, took the remaining ships and fled in different directions.
On Dawn's warship, Jiang Mo coldly watched Latin Wei's ships begin to scatter and flee.
"You come when you want, and leave when you want, what do you take Dawn for?"
"Baldy, keep firing! Don't let them escape easily!" Jiang Mo ordered.
Baldy grinned and excitedly directed the gunners to continue attacking.
Dawn's warships once again unleashed their full firepower, shells and energy pulses raining down like a storm.
Although Latin Wei's ships desperately fled, in front of Dawn's powerful barrage, one or two shells always managed to hit their targets.
At this moment, the ship Latin Wei was on also took a hit; a huge hole was blasted in its stern, and seawater poured in frantically.
Latin Wei's face changed drastically; he quickly ordered his subordinates to plug the leak and accelerate their escape.
Several of the Latin Armed Forces' subordinates immediately released several Golduck and had them dive underwater to repair the leak.
"Quick! Get the ship moving! Don't let them catch up!" Latin Wei roared.
However, Dawn's warships did not give them a moment to breathe.
Shells and energy pulses continuously struck, Latin Wei's ships were riddled with holes, and the crew members jumped into the sea to escape.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Latin Wei cursed through gritted teeth, then jumped onto a speedboat and desperately sped away.
Although Dawn's warship had powerful firepower, it was only one ship and could not pursue all the fleeing vessels simultaneously.
Seeing this, Jiang Mo decided to concentrate fire on one of the nearest ships.
"Baldy, aim at that ship and sink it for me!" Jiang Mo said, pointing at a ship desperately fleeing in the distance.
Baldy nodded, quickly adjusted the cannon, and aimed at the unfortunate ship.
"Fire!"
At Baldy's command, several shells and energy pulse beams shot out simultaneously, heading straight for that ship.
The shells accurately hit the ship's deck, instantly triggering a violent explosion.
The unfortunate ship was immediately blown to pieces, seawater gurgled in, and it sank to the bottom of the sea in a short while.
The Latin Armed Forces members and Pokémon on board all fell into the water, screams and cries for help rising and falling.
Jiang Mo coldly watched the ship sink to the bottom of the sea, without a trace of pity in his heart.
"Stop the pursuit, clear the battlefield!" Jiang Mo gave the order.
Dawn's members quickly took action, beginning to clear the enemies from the sea surface.
Those Latin Armed Forces' small soldiers still wanted to beg for mercy, but Dawn's members would not be soft-hearted, "Bang bang bang" with one shot to each head.
Especially Chen Jiaxing, he seemed to particularly enjoy the dull sound when a skull exploded.
The surface was covered with yellow and white, it seemed the nearby Water-type Pokémon had a big meal to enjoy today.
At the same time, Latin Wei's speedboat had escaped Dawn's firing range.
He stood at the stern, looking at Dawn's warship gradually disappearing in the distance, his eyes filled with resentment.
After the battle, peace returned to Dawn's warship.
Jiang Mo stood on the deck, looking at the floating wreckage and Pokémon corpses on the sea, without any emotion.
"Young Master, how should we deal with those Tentacool and Kingler?" Lingxi walked to Jiang Mo's side and asked softly.
Jiang Mo glanced at the abandoned Pokémon and decided their fate.
Latin Wei's two Kingler were firmly entangled by Eevee and Swampert, trapped on the sea surface and unable to escape.
Their eyes showed a hint of sadness and despair, clearly realizing that they had been abandoned by their Trainer.
And those Tentacool scattered and fled, appearing very flustered.
"Pikachu, Gengar, deal with those two Kingler." Jiang Mo said coldly.
Pikachu and Gengar quickly attacked; Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball simultaneously hit the two Kingler.
The Kingler let out a tragic scream, then sank to the bottom of the sea, losing their life force.
As for those Tentacool, Jiang Mo did not kill them all.
The main reason was that their numbers were too large, and these low-level Pokémon had little impact on the overall situation, so there was no need to waste time and effort pursuing them.
"Lingxi, have the crew clear the battlefield and prepare to continue moving forward." Jiang Mo instructed.
Lingxi nodded, then turned to arrange the next tasks.
At the same time, Latin Wei returned to his base camp in a sorry state.
Most of his ships were destroyed, and his subordinates suffered heavy losses; most importantly, he lost two Elite Four-level Kingler, which was what pained him the most.
Latin Wei's elder brother, the Latin Armed Forces' Marshal Latin Wei, seeing his younger brother in such a sorry state, was immediately enraged.
"Useless! How could you lose so badly!" Latin Wei roared, slapping Latin Wei across the face.
Latin Wei staggered a few steps, his face full of shame and anger.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, Dawn doesn't know where they got so many huge future weapons; the firepower of those weapons is too strong, we are no match for them at all!"
Latin Wei frowned, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "Dawn, why don't they stay in the Shenzhou Alliance, and insist on extending their reach into our Taiping Islands region? Their ambition is too great."
Latin Wei nodded, then said, "Yes, Brother, we must unite with other warlords to deal with Dawn! Otherwise, they will sooner or later threaten our position!"
Latin Wei pondered for a moment, then said, "You are right, Dawn can develop so well under the nose of the Shenzhou Alliance, their strength must not be weak, if it weren't for the Hunter Organization giving so much, I wouldn't dare to intercept their reinforcements."
"Later, I will contact several other major warlords to discuss countermeasures against Dawn, but the fact that you handled this matter poorly is undeniable, don't think about getting away with it, next time when fighting Dawn's Four Protectors, your Blastoise and Gyarados will lead the charge, consider it your punishment."
Latin Wei's face turned pale and then green upon hearing this; fighting Heavenly King Level experts, having Elite Four-level Pokémon lead the charge was suicide, the purpose was merely to use the life of an Elite Four-level Pokémon to exhaust the opponent's stamina.
