Chapter 447: Control Movement with Stillness!

The night was deep, and the third watch of the clapper sounded.

The wind was urgent and the flags were chaotic.

The azure boat fleet furled its sails, didn't light torches, and sailed silently in the darkness, flowing out two lines of turbid waves, with the smooth backs of finless porpoises surfacing intermittently.

Soldiers stood on both sides of the large ships, their eyes like stars and fire, patrolling and guarding.

Hearing the clapper sound, the high-level officials of the government office stepped onto the built jumping boards, came to the deck of the leading ship in turn, and waited for the bucket-man to calculate the orientation.

Liang Qu happened to be on the ship and had the fortune to listen in.

At the top of the mast, the bucket-man stood in the fierce wind, his hands protecting a flickering oil lamp, looking up at the stars, circling and hooking according to the star-pulling technique of crossing the ocean.

After a while.

The bucket-man blew out the oil lamp, grabbed the rope, and landed on the deck, kneeling on one knee.

"Reporting to the Lords, this place is about two hundred li away from the destination by water. Based on the current wind speed, it will take an hour and a half of normal sailing!"

"Two hundred li..." Yang Yang Dongxiong looked up at the stars. "At this distance, if the anomaly is a fairy island in the clouds, we might be able to view it directly."

Zuo Heng, the Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, leaned against the railing, stretched, and beckoned to tease the finless porpoises in the water.

"Living in the Imperial Capital for a long time, I've occasionally heard of the wonderful scenery of fairy islands, but I regret not having seen the grand occasion with my own eyes. If this trip has gains, it won't be in vain even if I go back."

"What's the use of the scenery being good if you can't get in? If you want the anomaly to have an effect, you need to be within twenty li, and the closer the better based on this. We've made such a big move to run into the hands of the water tribes to snatch food; whether we can eat it is another matter."

On the deck, the crowd talked all at once, but there was no great pressure, and some even yawned, looking lazy compared to the soldiers on guard.

Two hundred li, not far.

Observing the surrounding situation, the anomaly obviously hadn't occurred yet. As long as it hadn't occurred, there was room for negotiation, and everything was easy to talk about.

Sui Sui Hongyan looked at Xu Xu Yuelong: "Should we continue forward?"

Xu Xu Yuelong shook his head.

"Stop moving for now, observe the changes. It's still early for the anomaly to appear. The strange fish might have just noticed it and haven't mobilized to arrive.

If we go over now, coming aggressively, we will likely have a direct conflict with the Dragon People and the Frogs.

Why not wait a day, let the Dragon People's scouts discover us first, take the initiative to contact us, and wait until we see their attitude. The strange fish will likely arrive by then; at that time, we'll have a backup plan, how about being the oriole catching the mantis?"

The crowd looked at each other, then looked at Wei Lin in the night, only to see Wei Lin standing still, looking like he was letting go of the command.

Facing a heavenly anomaly, the time advantage of knowing in advance is a huge capital.

Coupled with ten large ships, averaging almost one Hunting Tiger expert per ship, the pressure is extremely strong, and no one can ignore it.

Based on their current state and strength, they can completely control movement with stillness and wait for work at ease.

Whoever speaks first, whoever is timid first.

Whoever is timid first concedes, and the negotiation gains the advantage; it's a very simple truth.

Moreover, Xu Xu Yuelong didn't want to show too much aggression and ruin the relationship with the Frog Clan and Dragon People.

He hadn't been at the River Patrol Office for more than a year, and there would be many places to deal with them in the future; there's a long way to go.

Zuo Heng said: "In water matters, the River Patrol Office knows better than us; we only bought boat tickets, we don't know anything else, so naturally we listen to you."

"We agree with Commander Zuo's point of view."

The Demon Suppression Division and the Three Judicial Departments expressed their stance one after another, and the matter was mostly settled; there was no need to ask the families, just follow the instructions.

Xu Xu Yuelong turned his head: "What does Prefecture Magistrate Magistrate Jian think?"

"The same."

"Good!" Xu Xu Yuelong said loudly, "From today on, don't sleep or practice deeply, be vigilant at all times to avoid accidents! And don't go out on the ship privately; I won't be responsible for any consequences! Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

A simple small meeting ended, and the high-level officials returned to their ships one after another, passing down messages and orders, arranging for people to take turns on duty.

The anchors were thrown into the water one after another, pausing the advance.

The finless porpoise tribe circled and guarded.

After arranging the fleet, Xu Xu Yuelong further directed the work of Liang Qu and others, intending to force the Dragon People to take the initiative to contact them, but also to have a clear understanding of the surrounding environment.

"Fang Su, you take people to the east..."

"Lu Kaiyun, you..."

"A-Shui, you go..."

Between the water valleys.

Dragon People rode the water to roam, arranging the environment.

Long Long Binglin held a brown map, and the entire trend of the valley was clear at a glance, with some places marked with blue and red dots.

"Is everything arranged?"

"Reporting to Lord Lin, all the Long Qi collection points have been arranged properly, the feng shui and mountain trends are integrated, and in the battle that breaks out in the valley, those at the Wolf Smoke Realm and above might have a half-percent boost!"

"Half a percent..." Long Long Binglin rubbed the map, sighing in his heart, "Something is better than nothing; go down first, and report if there's any situation."

"Yes!"

The situation at Long Long Eying and Long Long Yanrui's place was similar.

The anomaly was about to appear, and the orders issued by the three became more frequent. After construction was completed, almost half of the Dragon People were sent out as scouts.

The Frog Elder was ashamed of the frogs, but there was nothing to say about treasure hunting, just afraid of others peeping.

"Don't let your guard down, expand the exploration range by another fifty li, and report any movement of demon beasts immediately!"

"Remember to act in groups of three, don't act alone!"

In a corner of the valley unknown to anyone.

In a narrow cave several inches in size, the blue centipede poked its head out slightly, counting the scale of the Dragon People and the Frog Clan one by one, and passed it back.

More than ten li away from the Azure Boat fleet.

Fat Catfish and Round Head floated in the water.

Can't move, Fist lay on the bottom of the water, and further out were pure finless porpoise little brothers.

Rarely gathered together.

Fist's carapace was bright, its momentum was amazing, and its red back shell was extraordinary, obviously well-raised in Xiangyi County.

The fleet formed by the River Patrol Office moved forward, and Liang Qu's water beasts didn't idle either, taking a shortcut from the Frog Clan's hinterland, grabbing toad skins and rushing to meet them.

Liang Qu received Bai Awei's information, let the Fat Catfish divide the toad skins into several pieces, distribute them to everyone, and scatter them to explore whether there were any spirit monster settlements around.

With toad skins, exploring the environment was easy and safe.

At the same time, Round Head led his troops to the east, responsible for scouting the movements of the strange fish.

The sky was bright.

Liang Qu lay in the water grass, witnessing two Dragon People leaving the fleet direction and rushing to the valley.

Round Head, who was leading the patrol, also sent news of "fish wearing armor" approaching.

"That's a coincidence."

Liang Qu looked up at the sky, the light scattered into a piece.

He took the summarized information and boarded the ship to report.

On the other side.

Long Long Binglin received the report, his heart heavy.

"A fleet came from the south, suspected to be the Great Shun River Patrol Office!"

"Strange fish appeared in the east, two large spirit monsters! Suspected to be vanguard scouts!"

The good thing of swallowing it alone was definitely not his turn, but it came too fast!

The convergence of Long Qi corresponds to the container; strange fish probably don't have it, but it doesn't mean they can't cause destruction.

Long Long Yanrui was shocked to see the information.

"It's not strange for the Iron-Headed Fish to come; they are close, the distance is no more than a thousand li, and their perception is strong. Why did the River Patrol Office come so fast? They are so far away... Could it be they knew earlier than the Iron-Headed Fish?"

"What should we do now?"

"Go, go find the Elder to discuss!"
