"What we aim to seize is this northern port city. With such a vast territory, once the heist is successful, combined with the reputation of our Disaster Pirates, we can make the newspapers."
Lily continued, "Because it's a port city, we don't need to dock for long. As soon as we complete the heist, we can leave, thus greatly avoiding naval pursuit."
"But there's one issue..."
Lily looked at Lucci and his team, saying, "We're not clear about the defense of this northern city. Other than knowing it's worth looting, we have no other intelligence. Although the bigger the commotion, the better, we now have to consider our strength, and that's where your help is needed."
"You're special agents, right? Gathering intelligence here shouldn't be difficult for you. We'll land first, and after figuring things out, we'll plan where to strike for the best yield and maximum impact."
Robbing civilians?
They've done it so many times that they've long known that if they only rob civilians, it won't cause any stir at all.
Only by robbing the noble and the wealthy, even just a few, would have a more profound impact than robbing hundreds of civilians.
"Understood."
Lucci stood up and said, "If this is the mission, then we accept it as our collaboration."
"Then prepare yourselves. We have only an hour until we arrive," Lily said calmly.
Yet, at that moment, there was something unusual in her eyes.
If it were Sage...
He wouldn't think too much at all.
He'd just go straight for the heist once they arrived.
All those intel, those military configurations, they are completely unnecessary to know.
Now Lily understood, it wasn't that Sage's plans were simple, but that no matter how difficult a place was, it would become simple in face of his strength.
Considering intelligence was entirely a waste of effort.
Two thousand soldiers, five thousand soldiers, ten thousand soldiers... to him, they made no difference.
If a subordinate couldn't hold their own, they would be eliminated; only those who could would remain in the Pirates, and all these reins were held by Sage. He knew clearly when to strike and when not to.
That's Sage...
Sage, whose plans always succeeded.
Even when surrounded by three powerful forces, their plan to rob Water Seven was still a success.
Lily couldn't achieve that.
Sage could act recklessly like that, but she couldn't. She also couldn't control the casualties among her subordinates, so she needed intelligence to devise more comprehensive plans to make things simpler.
"But... I have my own way! Sage, I'll show you!"
Lily clenched her fair fists, gradually becoming resolute.
She is a High-Ranking Officer, and during Sage's absence, she is the acknowledged interim captain. At this moment... she couldn't embarrass Sage!
...
An hour later, the Death Star arrived at a large island filled with an aura of harvest, docking at a distance where the city's outline was visible.
Autumn Island, in the Sisomia Kingdom.
"Awaiting news from Lord Jabra!"
Jabra took a Radio Snail, turned to the people on the ship with a smile, and disembarked with Lucci and the others.
Of course, Owl didn't go.
Although CP9 didn't really care, Lily insisted that Owl stay behind.
This blabbermouth... couldn't distinguish between friend and foe, unsuitable for undercover and reconnaissance tasks.
