Chapter 479: Final Destination (2/2)

The face of Lord Qi sank and his complexion became cold as he lowered his voice, “Then, what about that beast group? Where are they located now? Did you dispatch more people to monitor closely?”

“A scout reported back not long ago, the beast group is already a few dozens of li away, and they are still going straight from the west to the east, and soon, they will be far away from the nearby territorial waters.” The bodyguard captain answered. He became nervous under the glare of Lord qi and added, “And according to Lord Qi’s orders, all warships were withdrawn back to avoid alarming the beast group, but many hidden lookouts were dispatched throughout the way to monitor this beast group closely to ensure everything is perfectly safe.”

“That’s more like it!”

The irritated Lord Qi finally heard good news, then pausing for a bit, he said, “Although the beast group is just passing by, it is also uncertain that there will be no mishap. Pass down my orders, the leaders of various levels must strictly restrain their subordinates and prevent them from alarming this beast group. In addition, be prepared for a battle at any time and beware of any mishaps!”

“Yes!”

The bodyguard captain bowed to receive the orders, then he quickly left to convey the orders.

It was not a problem to strictly restrict the subordinates. There was no one that didn’t have eyes and dare to go and provoke that monstrous beast group. As for being prepared for a battle at any time, it was hard to say. The scouts had already monitored the movement of that beast group repeatedly and determined that they were only passing by. Thus, after the initial nervousness, the soldiers were no longer disturbed and nervous. Moreover, since they had been drifting on the surface of the sea for a long time and this was a rare return to the base camp, a lot of people seek pleasure and made merry and the leaders of different levels also turned a blind eye. In such a moment, if they were ordered to be prepared for a battle at any time, the soldiers will clearly be unwilling and it was also impossible.

This bodyguard captain knew the current circumstances like the palm of his hand, but even if he was given a tiger’s guts, he would not dare to offer advice to Lord Qi and explain the current circumstances. Afterward, no need to speak about how Lord Qi would make the life difficult for soldiers, if by chance, Lord Qi’s mood turn worse and vented his fury on him, then what? Wasn’t that asking trouble on oneself?

Like being close to the emperor was like being close to a tiger, the bodyguard captain simply didn’t dare to speak more to unpredictable Lord Qi.

Like every strategy had a counter-strategy, many stern regulations often become a mere formality at the critical moment.

But, no one knew a great calamity was getting closer and closer.

Lord Qi sat cross-legged on the woolen rug again. This time, under the fragrance of sandalwood, he finally calmed down. Outside the grotto, soldiers beamed with joy. Then, some began to drink strong wine, some began to sleep without any worry and some sneaked into the residential houses where many women were imprisoned.

The soldiers rarely got together, so they relaxed and played to their heart’s content. The orders of Lord Qi reached only to the leaders of different levels, but these leaders also ignored and played to their heart’s content. Soldiers naturally imitated their leaders. The orders of Lord Qi was completely muddled through. But, no one knew that the beast group was approaching Bellowing Waves Island under the lead of the armored warship at an astonishing speed.

In order to take precautions for all contingency, the leaders had indeed dispatched many hidden lookouts to monitor the beast group closely, unfortunately, all those hidden lookouts were already gotten rid by the group of Ye Chuan. And in order to avoid alarming the beast group, all armored warships were also docked at the harbor. Thus, it was like this army had lost its ears and eyes, entirely unaware of the approaching danger. In addition to this, it was a dark night, thus, a few guards who were still standing fast at their post also had a limited field of vision and were unable to see the approaching danger.

On the deck of the armored warship, Ye Chuan stood still. Behind the ship, there was a mighty yao beast wave, slowly about to catch up. Everybody was nervous, but he was undaunted, on the contrary, looking at Bellowing Waves Island that was getting closer and closer, his eyes were blazing like torches with soaring fighting spirit.

“Your Excellency Patriarch, are you sure that the entrance to Lost City is in that underground grotto?” Ye Chuan suddenly asked Sea Demon Patriarch standing beside him.

“I am sure, absolutely sure!”

The old man nodded his head and looking at Bellowing Waves Island that was getting closer and closer, he was also excited. Success or failure would be decided with this one move. Whether he could enter their racial Holy Land, Lost City, again or not depended on this battle.

“Tonight, Death God is with us!”

Ye Chuan sneered and made a beheading motion with his right hand. The armored warship accelerated and sailed towards Bellowing Waves Island at even faster speed.
