Meanwhile, the Harpies' retreat was within Eredar's expectations—or, to put it bluntly, it had been ordered by him.
Given the Harpies' abilities, they made an excellent harassment force. However, they also had an irreparable weakness: they lacked the combat power to achieve victory.
With this force, one could harass and disgust the enemy without end, but one could not win.
Under these circumstances, Eredar naturally could not send the Black Sail Warship to coordinate with the Harpies.
The moment the Black Sail Warship appeared at sea, it would be like raising a target for Wright and Shilke. They would inevitably attack it at the first opportunity, so sending it out would amount to giving it away for free.
The Harpies were different. They were numerous, and they could fly. Even a Vertical and Horizontal Realm martial artist would find it extremely troublesome to kill them all.
And that was exactly what Eredar needed now.
Just as Shilke had analyzed, he was using the Harpies to wear down Wright and Shilke.
As long as the two of them were weakened enough, it was not impossible for him to fight them both at once.
At the same time, this was the only method Eredar could think of at this stage that still possessed a certain degree of feasibility.
During this process, the retreating Harpies soon returned to report the situation to him.

But during this night raid, they had attacked from point-blank range. Although they had suffered considerable casualties, they had at least achieved their objective, and
