"Hahaha, brothers, Bullet's side can't hold on anymore!"
"Let's seize this chance and wipe them out!"
"Yeah! Once we wipe them out, we can avenge Boss Red-Hair!"
"Brothers, charge..."
The two sides had originally been fighting desperately, with little difference in strength.
The arrival of the Red Hair Pirates' subordinate forces instantly turned the tide.
This menacing sight also left the forces hiding in the shadows unable to sit still.
"What do we do? Over a thousand more Marines arrived as reinforcements last night, and now even the Red Hair Pirates have joined in."
"Should we make our move?"
After the fighting had gone on this long, the Red Hair Pirates had finally acted.
That meant Bullet's side, already physically and mentally exhausted from a night of fierce fighting, would surely be wiped out!
"Wait a little longer. I keep feeling that Bullet's side hasn't gone all out yet. In fact, I don't think the Marines or the Red Hair Pirates have really made their moves either."
"If we rush in now, we'll become sitting ducks!"
"Yes, exactly. We can't act rashly, or if something unexpected happens..."
"At the very least, we should wait until Bullet's side truly can't hold on before we act!"
In the end, though the hidden forces worried that Bullet's side would be completely annihilated, they still chose not to intervene.
After this night of fighting, they had also seen how tenacious and powerful Bullet's side was.
Over nearly an entire night of battle, they had managed a one-to-two casualty ratio against opponents of the same level.
That one-to-two casualty ratio had come from these troops fighting desperately and trading their lives.
In this battle, nearly a thousand pirates had died, while the Marines had lost well over two thousand.
Even so, that was already insane
