These two vessels encountered a sniper attack while passing through Stinky Foot Bay.
A group of torpedo boats protecting a shark-class vessel suddenly emerged from the inland river, intercepted the Buffalo ahead, and then, without warning, fired a barrage of torpedoes and commenced shelling.
It must have been Dingding Face and the Unlucky Man who got wind of the news and wanted to destroy as many of the participating Allied warships as possible en route.
This ambush was well-designed and looked likely to succeed.
However, they had greatly underestimated the Buffalo.
Bai Quan's father, Bai Chi, was a star captain from the Grey Wolf Academy and had spent three years gaining experience in the Southern Sanctitude fleet, participating in dozens of naval battles both large and small.
Upon discovering the pirates, the Buffalo first steered outward and took a detour.
