This allowed Chen Ming to quickly gather his forces and wipe out two more small roaming fleets.
But Cheng Xinghai noticed something was amiss here.
Chen Ming seemed to have pinpoint accuracy, making all interference entirely futile.
Continuing like this would only lead to Chen Ming breaking them apart, and the key was that it was her "splitting" it herself.
Thus, Cheng Xinghai could only regroup her fleet, leaving about two hundred remaining ships to stay put and reorganize.
She was now forced by Chen Ming into the option of direct confrontation, and she had to face it in her best condition.
This was precisely the scenario Chen Ming most wanted to see.
Moreover, his ships required no wartime maintenance, able to remain in optimal condition at all times, whereas the opponent's ships clearly needed time to rest after several battles.
So Chen Ming would not give the opponent any breathing room.
