The young man kept hiswith obstinance The Yong soldier gave a small smile and didn’t ask any more questions He flourished his saber and was about to cleave dohen the young ed your saber?”

The blade ca only a bloody scratch on the young man’s neck Besides the soldiers still on the seaworthy shi+ps sailing the vessels, the rest of the Yong troops had landed on the shore by this point Ahtly different, clearlyman’s question, he went up and said with a smile, “Don’t you know that our military carted off hai’s ed by the sun Mo”

A knowing look shone in the eyes of the soldier wielding the saber “You’re talking about Gongsun Ban, right? The blades he forges are pretty good too, but he’sHis father and brother were still alive The joy fro news of his loved ones made it difficult for him to control himself He heard the soldier say in a frosty tone, “What does Gongsun Mo have anything to do with you? How many volunteer soldiers are in the fort? If you confess honestly, I’ll pardon your death”

A sharp light glittered in the young man’s eyes, and he replied, “You people took away my flesh and blood and invaded ive you intelligence on the volunteer arhtened his back, then threw his neck toward the edge of the saber

The soldier was quick of eye and deft of hand He swiftly sheathed his saber, but it still sliced open a huge wound on the youngup inside hiood news that his father and brother were still alive, there would be nothing wrong with dying However, hisat the young ht appeared in the coood ht flashed in the swordsman’s eyes He whispered a feords into the ear of the commander The commander pondered these words for a moment: “Let’s do this instead His injury isn’t serious Dress his wound and allow hi, the commander replied, “Good idea Let’s do that” Then he strode across the beach In front of him was the seawall Not far past the seaas the volunteer ar sneak attacks was a battle tactic the Eastern Sea Navy ell-versed in Even though the volunteer army was brave and skilled in warfare, there was not s Behind the co into for with a dense killing intent

When the pouring rain awoke the young et up and looked around his surroundings but didn’t see any hu on the seawall by hiered to his feet and started running toward the ca his entire body When he reached the camp, he was petrified He saw corpses scattered all around and inside of the camp The heavy rain had pooled into rivers, and the rainwater mixed with blood and flowed out of the ca time, he stood up and circled around the inside and outside of the cah blood and tears covered his face, soht had returned to his eyes He muttered, “They’re not all dead, they’re not all dead; that’s good” He counted just over thirty bodies here There were originally a hundred soldiers stationed here, so it looked like most of the navy would just have captured theained today, his brothers-in-ar of this, he was coreat deal

But he suddenly re soldiers had asked hi for Sir Yun If his co troops and confessed under cruel torture, divulging the whereabouts of Sir Yun, it would be catastrophic Sir Yun had ed the construction of the tunnels between coastal fortified villages He’d worked hard and performed a valuable service How could he be allowed to coether and resolved to report the events that happened here to Sir Yun to have hi

Thunder booain, heavy rain pelted Showers of </eure receded into the rain and fog and soon disappeared But he didn’t know that two dark figures were following hi violently at the foot of a sheer cliff a thousand y rocks strewn about at the bottom of the cliff, the foam thousands of piles of snow The sapphire waves concealed inexhaustible killing intent Right after the rain cleared, Jing Xin stood atop the cliff, sighing softly in hisfor a full three years Thinking of how crossing the vast blue sea would lead hihed even heavier on his heart

Spry and steady footsteps reached his ear Jing Xin didn’t look back,calmly, “Brother Huo, how do you have ti Xin never stopped resenting hi didn’tnan Coh it was just a brief sentence, Jing Xin shuddered A long while later, he finally said in a slightly ratulations, brother Huo Brother Huo has been trapped at sea for the past few years, likely no freer thanout of the sea,¹ no longer trapped on this shoal I presuhter glowed in Huo Cong’s eyes in response “Brother Jing flatters hai because the sea lanes were blocked and the land routes were difficult to cross In addition, the Duke of the Tranquil Sea counted on this one to be here, so this one stayed behind in Dinghai Moreover, the Duke of the Tranquil Sea placed over five hundred thousand co and sion is vast with many islands and a dense population
