Chapter 88: Blowing Up the Woguo Pirates

~8 min read 1,456 words

Yan Ning watched for a while and then didn't want to look anymore; she didn't even sleep well that night.

It was truly disgusting.

When dawn arrived, they reached the Woguo pier.

Someone asked: "#@%#¥!……"

Yan Ning shouted directly: "Shoot them all to death!"

As soon as the words fell, over a dozen guards holding Crossbows killed the few Woguo pirates guarding the pier.

Watching the few people at the pier die as thoroughly as could be.

Yan Ning wanted to go over with Yan Ze, but Yan Ze refused no matter what, insisting she stay on the ship.

Yan Ning could not sway her father, so she could only stay on the ship and look at the situation through the Telescope.

What she didn't expect, however, was that those god-damned Woguo pirates were still forcing those women in broad daylight.

But very quickly, Yan Ning saw the guards her father brought send them to the afterlife with a single arrow.

Some soldiers brought the women onto the ship to treat their wounds.

Those women were so grateful that they were on the verge of kneeling to Yan Ning to thank her.

Yan Ning took them to get their wounds treated, with guards standing watch outside; after their wounds were bandaged, Yan Ning brought over a length of rope.

"Wei Wu, come in quickly and tie them all up."

Qian Ruofang hurriedly said: "Miss, these people were all abducted by the Woguo pirates; it wasn't their own will."

Yan Ning said: "We will decide whether to release them after the fighting is over; if there is any mishap, everyone on our entire ship will have to be buried with them."

Wei Wu moved quickly and tied these people up directly; Yan Ning even searched them, finding no sharp objects.

Wei Wu took the people to another empty room to stay.

Qian Ruofang still felt it was a bit excessive.

Yan Ning tossed her a Telescope and pointed in a direction, "Look at Wu Jiangjun."

She saw someone leading the way for Wu Jiangjun, but very quickly, Wu Jiangjun took a fast step forward, and the arrow that was meant to hit him struck a soldier's leg instead.

Following that was another volley of cold arrows.

Wu Jiangjun killed that woman with one stroke of his Long Blade, and then some people began throwing Explosive Packages, hurling them at the archers in the distance.

With two "Bang, bang" sounds, the archers shot arrows in several other directions, and only then was the situation stabilized.

It was just that there were many wounded who all had to be sent back to have their wounds bandaged.

Yan Ning looked at Qian Ruofang; she could understand the benevolence of a healer, but this was a battlefield, and no one could be trusted.

Qian Ruofang was dumbstruck.

To think there were such insidious women!

Wu Jiangjun killed the man who was about to violate her; they were clearly saviors, yet she still wanted to lead them into a trap.

Seeing how practiced they were, this group of cunning Woguo pirates—no wonder His Majesty had sent troops to attack several times and still hadn't been able to defeat Woguo.

Qian Ruofang: "How could they do such a thing?!"

On the other side, Yan Ze blew up all those thousands of Woguo pirates and continued moving forward.

He encountered another woman who looked crazed.

The woman held a two-year-old girl and knelt, asking: "Are you military men of the Daxia Dynasty? My daughter and I have finally waited for you."

Yan Ze remained somewhat vigilant and only replied with one word: "Yes."

The woman pointed in a direction, "Over there, that is the courtyard where the general lives."

Yan Ze carried explosives on his person; as long as there weren't dozens of archers, he could handle it.

It was also fortunate that the Woguo pirates were used to using blades and not accustomed to archery.

Yan Ze searched his way over, saw that so-called "general," and solved the problem with a single Explosive Package.

The other scattered servants were shot to death with Crossbows.

After resolving the General's Mansion, Yan Ze slapped his forehead, "Ah, I shouldn't have used explosives to blow them up; I should have killed them and checked if there were any maps."

The guard captain at his side, Zhang Quan, said: "Woguo is not considered large; let's kill all the Woguo pirates in this area and then see if we can leave a live one for interrogation."

Afterward, Yan Ze did not use explosives again and even had Zhang Quan help watch for what was in the distance.

It wasn't that Yan Ze was overly cautious, but that this gang of Woguo pirates was too cunning and had no bottom line, so Yan Ze had the two of them watch the surrounding situation at all times.

Not long after, Yan Ze encountered another woman.

The woman was quite good-looking and was wearing Woguo clothing.

She knew some Daxia Dynasty language, but her pronunciation was exceptionally awkward; Yan Ze saw through it at a glance that this woman was from Woguo.

Yan Ze followed her, and sure enough, he found another Martial Arts Arena with three hundred people inside.

The woman looked at Yan Ze very triumphantly: "Hahahaha, you have fallen into a trap!"

A Long Blade stabbed into her body from behind.

This person died thoroughly, but in the Martial Arts Arena below, over three hundred people were swarming out to cause them trouble.

Yan Ze took an Explosive Package and threw it toward them directly.

A large group died all at once, with limbs and chunks of flesh flying everywhere.

Zhang Quan said: "His Highness, I will go down first to see if there are any survivors; we can capture them for interrogation."

Yan Ze nodded: "That's fine, you few go and take a look; don't let any survivors run off to report the news."

Including the women nearby, the guards tied them all up.

Zhang Quan, who went down to inspect, was walking when his ankle was grabbed by someone.

Looking at the fragments all over the ground, Zhang Quan was startled by suddenly having his ankle grabbed.

Seeing it was a man with a severed arm who still had a breath left, he prepared to take him back. Who knew that someone behind him would be brandishing a blade and hacking at him desperately.

Zhang Quan reacted quickly, immediately swinging his blade backward to hack, directly severing his head.

It was as if Zhang Quan did not feel the pain of the blade wound on his back, instead taking the armless Japanese pirate away directly.

Yan Ze frowned and tied the man onto the horse's back; he decided to go back first to see if they could discuss a method, as searching slowly like this would take several months.

Yan Ze led the wounded back; on their side, only Zhang Quan was injured, and everyone else was fine.

The Prince of Nanyang's side was not so lucky.

The Prince of Nanyang did not encounter any women or men, but they were careless and got lost.

They could not find the way back either, as it was winding and twisting, and without a Compass in hand, it was truly difficult to find.

As a result, after wandering around, they ended up at the Martial Arts Arena.

Yan Ze led his men back, and almost as soon as he left, Xiao Chengtian arrived.

Xiao Chengtian looked at the fragments all over the ground, "Truly impressive, hundreds of people died so silently."

"Your Highness, there are still a few horses over there."

The ten men Yan Ze brought were all riding horses, which were inconvenient to take away.

Horses were inconvenient for transport, so they had brought fifteen horses when they came.

This added several more horses to the count.

The few men skirted around the corpse fragments and took the horses back.

That evening, everyone gathered at the pier.

Yan Ze and Wu Jiangjun arrived first; the Prince of Nanyang's side had wandered around, but finally managed to find the way.

Yan Ze's side was better off, while Wu Jiangjun's side had quite a few wounded.

Yan Ze looked at the two and asked, "Gentlemen, I want to make a detailed plan to avoid acting like headless flies over there; as it happens, I brought a captive back, so we can interrogate him first and ask for a general direction before making a plan."

The Prince of Nanyang and Wu Jiangjun had no objections.

The Prince of Nanyang immediately wanted to leave while dragging the captive.

Yan Ze hurriedly said, "No rush, take him to be treated first."
