White Butcher's idea was simple. The Barton Empire's three remaining governors each possessed Vajra Realm-level combat power. If he seized the opportunity to kill one first, he could easily avoid the worst-case scenario.
After all, even if the remaining two joined forces, their current strength was still enough to deal with them.
With that in mind, judging by their current positions, the closest target was Island No. 5, where the East Sea Governor was stationed!
"For the sake of caution, Bishop Bolevin will act with us. As for your side, considering that you may encounter the West Sea or South Sea Fleets during this operation, I'll arrange ten warships to act alongside you."
"On top of that, Barton's Royal Fleet is also at our disposal. I'll assign it to you as well."
At this point, White Butcher's voice paused. Seemingly having thought of something, he hurriedly added another sentence.
"I want one ship from the Royal Fleet. It will be useful."
White Butcher taking one ship from the Royal Fleet would have little impact on Soros. Even if they truly could not win when the time came, given the fleet's scale, it would not be easy for the enemy to wipe them out.
At worst, they could request reinforcements. Once the two Steam Ironclad Ships arrived, there would be nothing within the waters of the Barton Empire that they could not settle.
While they spoke, White Butcher had already arranged everything clearly.
The moment they decided to set out, White Butcher and Soros immediately split up and acted separately.
They did not dawdle afterward. The Barton capital had been occupied in the morning, and the subsequent operation began in the afternoon.
In theory, the other governors stationed on outlying islands could not possibly move faster than they had.
