......

Obviously, Xingye City is under martial law.

The arrival of the three of He Wuxian aroused the vigilance of the soldiers guarding the 'gate' of the city.

Fortunately, he took out the token of the leader of Yulin Wei and proved his identity, so he was allowed to enter Xingye City.

The eight-zhang high suspension bridge was slowly lowered and placed on the wide moat, and more than a dozen knights rode their horses and surrounded the three of them.

The leading knight is a strong martial artist, claiming to be the commander of the city guards of Xingye City.

After checking He Wuxie's identity token, he respectfully brought the three of them into the city.

After entering the city, He Wuxian asked his grandfather He Yaotian's movements.

He knew that after his grandfather left the 'jade' capital, he would quickly rush to Xingye City, where he would lead 20,000 soldiers of the Black Armor Battalion to Pearl Island.

When the commander of the city guard learned of He Wuxie's identity, it turned out to be the eldest grandson of He Yaotian, the prince of Zhenguo, and immediately became extremely respectful.

Subsequently, the commander told He Wuhate about the situation one by one.

It turned out that as early as six days ago, He Yaotian had taken his subordinates to Xingye City.

After arriving at Xingye City, He Yaotian quickly recalled the army of the Black Armor Battalion guarding the Blood 'Color' Mountain Range.

After that, He Yaotian personally led an army of 20,000 black armor battalions and entered the East China Sea on an ironclad warship.

The remaining 20,000 Qingyuan soldiers in Xingye City were 'drawn' and transferred 15,000 people to the southern end of the Blood 'Color' Mountain Range to guard the border pass.

The remaining 5,000 soldiers returned to Xingye City to defend it, and for safety reasons, He Yaotian ordered the city to be blocked.

Because of this, there is now the situation that He Wuxian and the three of them have seen.

Not long after, the commander of the city guards brought He Wuxian and the three of them to the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord of Xingye City is called Du Zhenhai, who had been a soldier under He Yaotian for thirty years before, and was one of the first 800 black family soldiers to follow He Yaotian, and he was an absolute confidant.

Du Zhenhai is about 70 years old now, and at his peak, he served as a general in the Black Armor Battalion, and he was also a senior general who commanded an army of 10,000 people.

It's just that twenty years ago, during a battle with the army of the Tianfeng Empire, Du Zhenhai was cut off an arm, and since then he has stepped down from his position as a general and served as the city lord of Xingye City.

Although Du Zhenhai lost an arm, he is still a strong martial artist after all, and he is also a general who is a 'refined' master of the art of war strategy.

He Yaotian took He Feng and He Chong and other henchmen to Pearl Island, but He Wuregret was left in the City Lord's Mansion and taken care of by Du Zhenhai. (wwW.800book)

The arrival of the three of them led Du Zhenhai out of the 'door' to greet him, and then hurriedly set up a banquet to wash the dust.

During the banquet, the identities of He Wuxian and Tang Bao were confessed to everyone, but Mu Zichen's identities were concealed.

Tang Bao is the grandson of General Tang Long, and Du Zhenhai and General Tang Long have also fought side by side many times, and their relationship is extremely deep, so they also love and take care of Tang Bao.

And Mu Zichen's identity as a princess is really not suitable for 'exposure', Du Zhenhai asked, He Wuxian explained that he was his friend, and he passed it off.

During the banquet, he was happy, and He Wuxian also took the opportunity to ask Du Zhenhai a lot about the situation of Xingye City and Pearl Island.

After an hour of eating, He Wuxian learned about the situation in Xingye City and Pearl Island, and also knew He Yaotian's strategic deployment, so he was reluctant to stay in Xingye City.

After thinking about it, he decided to leave Xingye City and enter the East China Sea to go to Pearl Island to meet his grandfather.

After all, it wouldn't be of much use for him to stay in Xingye City now, so it was enough to stay here without regrets.

Instead of staying in Xingye City and waiting for grandpa to return, it is better to go to sea to Pearl Island, at least it can help.

So, after resting for a day in Xingye City, early the next morning, He Wuxian was about to leave the city.

The endless East China Sea is vast and the weather at sea is unpredictable and dangerous.

Originally, for safety reasons, He Wuxi was reluctant to take Mu Zichen and Tang Bao to the sea together, but both of them strongly asked to follow him.

He Wuhate really couldn't resist the two of them, so he had no choice but to take them to sea together.

Ten miles to the east outside Xingye City, there is the harbor of Xingye City, where the boat harbor built has a history of hundreds of years.

Numerous fishing boats, large and small, as well as ironclad warships used by the army, are docked in the harbor.

With Du Zhenhai, the city lord, arranging a qiē, why don't you hate to 'worry' at all.

When Du Zhenhai personally led the three of them to the harbor, there was already a ten-zhang long ironclad warship, docked on the shore and waiting.

The three of them boarded the ironclad warship, and soon left the harbor and sailed into the vast sea, heading for Pearl Island.

Whether it was He Wuxian, Mu Zichen, or Tang Bao, the three of them boarded the ironclad warship for the first time and sailed on the vast sea.

The endless East China Sea, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and what you see is the blue water, the clear sky, and the extraordinarily open.

The three of them fought on the bow deck, the salty and wet sea breeze howling, blowing on their cheeks, carrying the salty smell of the sea.

Even though the ten-foot ironclad warship is already a behemoth to everyone, it is still as small as a lonely boat in the vast sea.

The wind and waves are bumpy, the huge waves are turbulent, and the ironclad warships will also sway in the waves.

There is no doubt that Tang Bao and Mu Zichen, who boarded the warship for the first time and went to sea, began to get seasick.

Fortunately, both of them are martial artists, and they can still restrain the vomiting **, but they are frowning, and their faces are a little embarrassed.

The wind was howling, the sails were full, and the ironclad warship sailed towards the Pearl Island in the wind and waves.

Pearl Island is located in the deep sea area of the East China Sea, about three hundred miles away from Xingye City, and at the current speed of the ironclad warship, it will take about three hours.

Because it was to escort He Wuxian and the three of them to Pearl Island, there were not too many soldiers on the ironclad warship, only more than 20 sailors and a dozen soldiers.

These soldiers and sailors have their own duties, and they have no time to serve He Wuxian and the others for the time being.

So, He Wuxian helped Mu Zichen and Tang Bao to the cabin, so that the two of them could rest, so as not to be seasick and uncomfortable.

However, an hour later, not long after the ironclad warship entered the deep sea area, Xiao Qinglong sent a message to He Wuxian.

"Master, there are two ships to the southwest, coming towards us. ”

Hearing Xiao Qinglong's warning, He Wuxian walked out of the cabin and came to the deck to look.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, the two ships approached, and He Wuxian could already see two black shadows on the horizon.

The East China Sea is vast, but there are not many ships passing through.

After all, there are only four countries on the Eastern Wilderness Continent that are close to the East China Sea, namely the Barbarian Heavenly Kingdom, the Heavenly Wind Empire, the Qingyuan Kingdom, and the Izumo Empire.

And these four countries are basically hostile relations, and there are not many trade relations.

There are quite a few islands in the depths of the East China Sea, but they are all sects, pirates and other forces, and they don't have too many ships.

Two ships suddenly appeared on the vast sea, and they came straight towards this ironclad warship, which couldn't help but arouse He Wuxi's vigilance.

In particular, before entering the East China Sea, he had already learned about the situation in the East China Sea from Du Zhenhai.

Du Zhenhai also mentioned that the Tianfeng Empire has recently besieged Pearl Island, and ships are constantly coming and going to this sea.

There are also several pirate gangs in the East China Sea, and while the two countries are 'fighting', their actions have been very rampant recently.

Because of this, this ironclad warship did not fly the flag of Qingyuan Kingdom, which was also to protect He Wuxie's safety.

So, seeing the appearance of those two ships, He Wuxian had to take precautions, and naturally thought of two bad possibilities in his heart.

He guessed that these two ships, if they were not the warships of the Tianfeng Empire, were very likely to be the warships of pirates.

Whatever the outcome, this is not what He Wuhate wants to see.

He never expected that he would encounter such a thorny problem when he went to sea for the first time.

However, no matter what has come to this, he cannot sit still.

"Captain, order all personnel to be on alert, there are two unidentified warships approaching us. ”

He Wuxian didn't know anything about war, especially the warship battles at sea, so he chose to inform the captain and let the captain make a decision.

The captain is a ninth-level samurai, and he is also a veteran of many years of sailing in the East China Sea, and he has a lot of experience.

After receiving He Wuxian's reminder, the captain did not hesitate to order vigilance, and all of a sudden, all the soldiers and sailors were busy.

The thick planks on the sides of the ship opened, revealing dark holes, and more than a dozen huge ballistae were pushed out, flashing with a cold light.

There are no gunpowder shells in this world, so the fighting between warships depends more on ballistas.

Of course, these are low-level ships, so the main attack weapon is a ballista.

And like the super warships built by some sects, the weapons are very high-end, they are Yuanli cannons built by formations, and a single cannonball can destroy the horror of an ironclad warship.

However, there are not many super warships in the entire Eastern Wilderness, and of course there are no ones in Qingyuan Kingdom.

Fortunately, the ballista used in this ironclad warship is also very powerful.

The ballistas fired arm-thick steel bolts that could pierce five-inch-thick planks at close range, and could inflict fatal injuries if they reached the mast and sails of a ship.

The ballistae of the ironclad warship were already in place, and the entire crew was already in combat mode.

At this time, Xiao Qinglong sent a message back to He Wuxian again.

"Master, the two men have flags on their ships, and the flags are painted with a blood-red flame. ”

When He Wuxian heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, thinking in his mind, but he never understood what this kind of flag represented.

However, when he told the captain the news, the captain's face became obviously unsightly.

"The blood-red 'colored' flame banner, that's the battle flag of the Bloodflame Gang!"

Seeing that the captain's face was cautious, and there was sweat oozing faintly from his forehead, he was obviously very nervous and frightened, so he asked without hatred: "What's going on with the Blood Flame Gang?"

Although the captain was in a heavy mood, he still patiently said to He Wuxi: "The Bloodflame Gang is a pirate gang, they are one of the three notorious pirates in the East China Sea, they are huge and vicious, and the ships they hijack and attack have always left no one alive. ”

"If the ships of the Heavenly Wind Empire are okay, at least they will take prisoners, and the pirates of the Bloodflame Gang will only throw us all into the sea to feed the fish!"

By the end, the captain's voice had begun to tremble, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Seeing this scene, He Wuxian finally knew that this Blood Flame Gang was not only powerful, but also acted so cruelly and bloody.

Today, I'm afraid there will be another bloody battle!
