Facing the seeming threat from a Master-level Phoenix Feather, Da Bing definitely wouldn't engage without preparation. Nor did he plan to report it to Da Fei. If every little thing needed to alert the big boss, what was his use? Moreover, reporting to Da Fei wouldn't solve anything; he still needed to figure it out himself.
So, Da Bing intended to resolve this matter on his own. The 500-cabin medium cargo ship was a standard clunker with no gun cabins, no sailor quarters, and absolutely zero self-defense capabilities. Its base speed was an extremely slow 4, making it impossible to escape pursuit by any ship. So on one hand, he would, of course, recruit Little Sword with the strength of his 10 Dark Night Druids, equivalent to level 6 troops, serving as powerful bodyguards. On the other, he would mobilize the guild's transport boats to form an "escort fleet."
