Late that night, Mu Yan was the only one left in a tavern on a street corner in Qisha City, and there were countless empty bottles of wine he had drunk on the table, but he was not drunk. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I knew you couldn't let him go." Not long ago, he learned from Yu Shuo, who had just returned to the city, that Mu Yunmo disappeared after evening, and then thought of the news that Xi Zhaoguo had sent Xuan Shao to lead troops to Yanmiao Continent during the day, Mu Yan had already guessed where she should have gone.

He continued to pick up the bottle and pour it down. When he had drunk the last drop, he smashed the bottle and turned to leave the tavern for the southern harbor leading to the open sea.

"Oh, how can I ever let you go."

After some disguise, Mu Yunmo blended into the cargo ship behind Xizhao to support supplies, and this ship followed the ships of Xizhao's army and entered the waters of Yanmiaozhou after sailing for two days.

Since Xi Zhao's plan was to try to negotiate peacefully first, and the other party did not accept it before attacking, the fleet led by Xuan Shao did not act rashly after getting a little closer to Chihu Island, but waited for the reaction of the Chihu Island side.

The topography of Chihu Island is very peculiar, the island is almost entirely mountainous, the island is surrounded by cliffs, the city-state is built on the mountain in the middle of the island, and from a distance Chihu Island is a high mountain towering in the middle of the sea. There is a natural harbor on the west side of the island, which is a wide inner bay, stationed on Chihu Island's powerful naval fleet, which has the advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is why the pirates of Chihu Island have been more reckless in hijacking cargo ships at sea in recent years, robbing property, ignoring warnings and negotiations in other regions.

Sure enough, before I asked the Xizhao army, the fleet of Chihu Island had already been dispatched, and the cannons on the huge ship were bombarded towards the Xizhao army, and several of the Xizhao army had been damaged by the shelling, and the personnel were not injured, so Xuanshao had to order the fleet to retreat and did not fight head-on with the other party.

Before the Xizhao troops set off, Cangxuan Pavilion had reminded them that there was a large amount of untapped magical energy stored in the depths of the sea area of Chihu Island, and the geological environment was very unstable, so it was not recommended that Xizhao Kingdom attack it with magic, so as not to cause a greater disaster. In addition, many soldiers fell down after being unable to adapt to the sea, so Xizhao's fleet had no choice but to go to a nearby desert island to rest and discuss the attack strategy.

"Looking at the strong and fierce attack of the naval fleet on Chihu Island today, it is impossible to negotiate." Xuan Shao stared at the map of the sea area around Chihu Island and said to Miyin, the deputy general who went out this time.

Miyin has a great talent in reconnaissance and analysis, so although she is a woman, she was incorporated into the army very early, and often goes with the team to fight, scouting the terrain, providing intelligence, etc.

"But this island is surrounded by cliffs, and we can't get to the island from anywhere else except the port." Miyin furrowed her brows.

"It seems that the only way to do this is to use magic, General Xuan Shao, we try to carry out magic attacks at sea to avoid affecting the land on the island." Said a captain of the Magic Guard.

"Well, it seems that this is the only way, and when we destroy their fleet, we can attack the shore. Miyin, you and your troops are in the rear, and when we go ashore to fight, look for an opportunity to find and rescue the hijacked crew. Xuan Shao turned back to Miyin Zhengse and said.

"Roger!"

Early the next morning, Xizhao's fleet re-approached Chihu Island, and they were still greeted by the artillery bombardment of the military fleet, only this time the War College and Xizhao's magicians cast spells on the military fleet together, and at this time, there were waves tens of meters high on the sea surface due to explosions, accompanied by a deafening roar. After a series of magical attacks by the magicians, the damaged fleet of Chihu Island could no longer bear to retreat, and many of the surviving warship crew members simply fled back to the island on life rafts.

At this time, suddenly dark clouds covered the sun, the wind was fierce, the sea was turbulent, and the heavy rain was about to occur, but the Xizhao army did not pay attention to the bad weather, but still chose to take advantage of the victory to pursue, attack the island, and start a fierce battle with the pirate army on the island. Due to the rugged and slippery mountain roads on the island, Xizhao's side did not have the upper hand.

Soon, Xuan Shao, who was not familiar with the route on the island, and a small number of soldiers scattered with other troops during the battle, but fortunately, there were not too many enemies in front of him, and Xuan Shao led the soldiers around him to repel the enemy in the rain. However, just as they were about to go to meet with the other teams, a large number of enemies dressed as pirates rushed up around them, surrounding Xuan Shao and the others, and he had to continue to fight with the enemy.

Xuan Shao held a giant sword in his hand, and took the lead in attacking the pirates, with his roar, the hands of the first few people were cut off, and then Xuan Shao rushed towards the rest of the people, ready to solve them, the remaining enemies showed fear on their faces, and they all retreated, but at this time, twenty or thirty enemies rushed up from behind Xuan Shao, and when they saw their accomplices coming, those pirates swung their knives at Xuan Shao. Xuan Shao continued to raise his sword and slash at the enemy, but there were too many enemies behind him, but someone still found a flaw, "Qiang! A bayonet stabbed at the weak place where Xuan Shao's left arm armor was protected, and a sharp pain came instantly. Xuan Shao, whose temples were bruised, gritted his teeth and turned around and stabbed the person behind him to death. But the other twenty or so enemies saw that Xuan Shao's left arm was injured, and at the same time surrounded Xuan Shao, at this time a black shadow suddenly appeared in the crowd, everyone was stunned, Xuan Shao found that in an instant, several enemies' throats had been cut, lying on the ground, he turned his head sharply to look at the comer, and happened to meet the pair of red eyes, it was Mu Yunmo.

"Hey! Stupid big guy, why are you stunned, why don't you kill them quickly! The corners of Mu Yunmo's mouth carried the smile of every time he fought with Xuan Shao on the battlefield in the past.

Xuan Shao immediately reined in his thoughts, and attacked the remaining pirates with Mu Yunmo, and soon the enemy was all killed, Xuan Shao turned his head to look at Mu Yunmo and was about to speak to her, but found that there was an enemy behind her who fell to the ground and was about to throw a flying knife at Mu Yunmo, Xuan Shao immediately kicked a stone at his feet, knocked off the flying knife in the man's hand, and then rushed over with an arrow step, inserting the giant sword in his hand into the man's chest, killing him instantly.

"You fool, why did you come here, do you know it's dangerous just now?!" Xuan Shao's tone was a little angry, but there was joy in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.

Mu Yunmo raised the corners of her mouth and was about to speak, but at this moment she heard something similar to an arrow piercing through the rain and air in the direction behind Xuan Shao, "Get out of the way!" I didn't think much about it, she had turned around and walked behind Xuan Shao, Xuan Shao hadn't reacted yet, only heard a muffled sound, the sound of piercing the flesh, Mu Yunmo's expression just now froze on her face, her eyes dimmed, and she fell to the ground.
