"What should we do, what should we do?" Gu Ling, watching everyone caught in a bitter battle, was feeling desperate. Another piercing howl echoed as another person was blasted and dropped into the sea.
"That's it!" An idea dawned on Gu Ling, and he shouted urgently, "Everyone, retreat to the ship's hold immediately!"
Those who heard him, terrified and without the will to fight, turned and bolted for the shelter of the ship's hold first.
Lu Yi, flushed with urgency, approached Gu Ling saying, "Miss, we're already short on manpower. If you keep shouting like that, everyone will run off."
Gu Ling explained his reasoning, "This open area is disadvantageous for us; they're knocking us off into the sea one by one. Inside the ship's hold, it will be a different story."
After hearing this, Lu Yi was enlightened. He gave Gu Ling a thumbs-up and himself shouted, "Everyone retreat! Fall back to the ship's hold!"
