Chapter 383: Double Standard
On the docks of the Banshee Country, the cannons roared, the flames were everywhere, and the screams were repeated.
But seeing that the naval fleet of the Banshee Country was scattered, people turned on their backs, and the chaos was extreme.
They either fired frantically in all directions, shook their sails and fled quickly, and some were even hit by their own shells.
Looking at the Banshee Country sailors on the battleship, it was also a mess, some were rolling with their heads in their hands, some were shooting arrows into the sea, and some were standing on the deck and diving.
The sailors were all frightened, as if they had seen some huge monster.
Among the many warships in chaos, only one with black sails remained calm.
On the deck, many big Xuanshui soldiers squatted under the side of the ship, watching every move on the dock through the gun holes.
Before that, they had already loaded their shells and were now holding torches, ready to fire at any moment.
While waiting, occasionally one or two shells would streak over the pirate ship, and one even hit the stern, smashing a large chunk of the stern.
Even though some soldiers were wounded, no one dared to move without an order from their superiors.
Listening to the shouting and killing outside, Cao Wu Yubao of the Navy Military Academy looked extremely anxious, and couldn't help but ask Captain Xiao Zhennan:
"I don't know how long this lemon toxin lasts? Why hasn't Lord Xu come back yet? โ
At this moment, Wu Yubao and the others were waiting in Hei Boyu's captain's room, and through the porthole of the captain's room, they could also see the situation outside.
Xiao Zhennan kept staring outside and did not answer Wu Yubao's question.
"Wait," Han Fei'er replied on the side, "According to those pirates who have used alder toxin, these we release can last for two hours."
"It's only half past now, Lord Xu, they will definitely come back!"
"Oh," Wu Yubao frowned deeply, obviously still worried, "What did Lord Xu find?" Could it be that the affairs of the mission really have something to do with the Banshee Kingdom? But if it mattered, then why were these banshee trolls affected by alder toxin? โ
"Hey," suddenly, the guard Hou Zhen shouted at Wu Yubao, "You have too many words, right?" Lord Xu's plan, how can you speculate? โ
"Oh......" Wu Yubao bowed his head, not daring to speak again.
"Yes...... Is it a limon toxin? However, Shen Xingran on the other side asked with a puzzled expression, "Let's ...... Where do we get the lemon toxin? โ
Hearing this, Wu Yubao glanced at Shen Xingran angrily, which means that if you don't let me talk nonsense, you can talk nonsense, right?
However, Hou Zhen had an obvious double standard and politely answered Shen Xingran's question:
"Lord Shen, that's right. After we extinguished the pirate ship fire, dozens of well-preserved boxes of lemon water were found in the bottom compartment.
"So, Lord Xu didn't destroy it, but asked those Black Boyu's subordinates to use the method."
"Lord Xu is really clever," Han Fei'er echoed, "It's just right now." โ
"Oh......" Shen Xingran realized, "So, we released those lemons, and then it produced a hallucinogenic effect. โ
"Yes," Hou Zhen said, "Now in the eyes of those sailors of the Banshee Country, what they see is the Kraken Dragon we saw before!" โ
"That'...... So what are you waiting for? Wu Yubao couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately clapped his palms and said, "Xiao Daxia, let's take advantage of their chaos and just shoot and sink them, right?"
"Otherwise, once the lemon toxin disappears, we will inevitably be surrounded by them!"
It turned out that Wu Yubao had been worried about this matter.
"No," Xiao Zhennan turned his head and said resolutely, "Now that the situation is unclear, releasing alime toxin is one thing, and firing the cannon is another!" โ
"Yes," Han Fei'er echoed with a solemn face, "As long as we don't admit it, they will treat us with nothing."
"But once the cannon is fired, it's a war!"
"What then?" Wu Yubao said excitedly, "What if...... Oh no, Lord Xu hasn't come back yet, or if he's coming back late, we can't leave even if we want to! โ
"You are so noisy," Hou Zhen grabbed Wu Yubao by the collar and lifted him into the air, "Are you cursing Lord Xu?" โ
After speaking, he threw Wu Yubao into the corner of the wall with a force, and threatened: "If you dare to say more, be careful that I cut your tongue, hum!" โ
"......" Wu Yubao hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Huh? Isn't that right? However, Shen Xingran asked again with doubts, "The sailors have been on the deck all the time, and the warriors have all gone to the palace, and those alder lemons ...... How do you get it into the water? โ
"......" Wu Yubao glared at Shen Xingran fiercely, does that mean you also want to be cut off your tongue?
However, the show slapped his face again, but saw that Hou Zhen answered Shen Xingran's question unusually respectfully:
"That's the case, Lord Shen, in fact, those who have changed into sailor uniforms are not warriors, but those pirates we captured from Qizhou, as well as some pirates under Hei Boyu, those are used as cannon fodder!"
"Huh!?" Shen Xingran was taken aback, "Really? โ
"Hehehe," Han Fei'er said with a silver bell-like smile, "Lord Xu gave those people an ordinary qi tonifying pill and lied to them that it was poison.
"As long as they are obedient, they will give them an antidote later, so they honestly acted in front of Kong Zhen."
"And actually," Hou Zhen continued, "those warriors have already taken the lemon off the ship and released it in this harbor dock area. โ
"Huh? In that case," Shen Xingran said worriedly, "Ji Ying, oh, what about Lord Xu's side?" Didn't we plan for the warriors to pretend to be the wounded and then pick them up? โ
"That would be in the open," Han Fei'er said, "and now, the warriors are acting in the shadows, wouldn't it be safer to pick up Lord Xu in this way?" โ
"Yes," Hou Zhen nodded at Shen Xingran and said, "Lord Shen, don't worry, Lord Xu, they will definitely return on time!" โ
"Oh......" Shen Xingran nodded again and again, muttering a prayer, "I hope Ji Ying can find out everything!" I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is okay? โ
Who knows, as if it was fulfilled, as soon as Shen Xingran's words fell, the excited shouts of the sailors came from outside:
"Look, that's Lord Xu! Lord Xu is back, Lord Xu is back! โ
Oh?
Everyone in the captain's room immediately straightened up, and then quickly rushed out of the captain's room to meet outside.
After a while, they saw Xu Zun holding the bitter mother who was already seriously injured and unconscious, and appeared on the deck first.
Immediately afterwards, followed by Zhao Yu, Huo Anu, Ani, Jiang Hua and others, and then followed by first-class warriors led by Zhao Xin.
"Huh?" Han Fei'er saw the bitter mother in Xu Zun's arms, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the bitter girl?" โ
As she spoke, she took the initiative to take the bitter mother and check the injury.
At the same time, Ani also put down the queen Kong Zhen, who was also seriously injured and unconscious.
"Hou Zhen," Xu Zun said, "put her in custody, and there must be no mistakes!" โ
"Huh?" Hou Zhen recognized Kong Zhen, first his body trembled, and then nodded in agreement, "Yes!" Please rest assured! โ
After saying that, he went to charge Kong Zhen.
"Be careful," Huo Anu gasped as he reminded, "This queen also has kung fu!" โ
"Xiao Daxia!" Xu Zun said to Xiao Zhennan with a cold face, "It has now been confirmed that the attack on my Great Xuan Mission was committed by the Banshee King Kong Zhen. โ
After speaking, Xu Zun turned around, looked at the banshee battleships that were still in chaos, and said coldly:
"Now, we're going to sink all the naval warships of the Banshee Countryโ!!"
