Chapter 101: Have you eaten breakfast? If not, take my cannon!

Since the plan has been settled, naturally it must be carried out at thunderous speed.

The three armies, together with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, a total of fifteen thousand people, rushed straight toward Moonwatch Valley.

The ferocious beasts originally used to transport the heaven-shaking cannons were tossed aside, and martial artists of the Master and Innate realms were used instead.

Innate realm martial artists carry one cannon each, Master realm carry two, shoulder them and charge toward Moonwatch Valley.

The fact that Innate and Master realm martial artists are faster is one thing, but more importantly, this time we need to move stealthily; those transport beasts are not intelligent, and if they alarm the Japanese pirates, it would be bad.

The moon is bright, the stars sparse.

Taking advantage of the dim night, the troops swiftly sneaked to the outside of Moonwatch Valley.

A Master realm martial artist carrying a heaven-shaking cannon carefully set the cannon on the ground, gauged the distance to Moonwatch Valley, waved his hand, and lowered his voice.

"Range is sufficient! Quick, quick, quick! Assemble!"

Several engineers immediately rushed forward.

The Master realm martial artist kept watch on all sides; this is the moment most likely to expose them.

Because at this moment we are closest to Moonwatch Valley, and activating the cannon still requires a little time to assemble the heaven-shaking cannon, we are very likely to encounter the Japanese pirates' scouts.

Suddenly, a slight movement came from a tree; the Master realm martial artist jerked his head back, saw a black shadow on the tree, and let out a low shout.

"Who goes there!"

Of course, faster than his voice was Shen Qing's flying dagger.

A flying dagger traced a brilliant silver light in the night, followed by a muffled boom; the Japanese pirate was directly blown into a blood mist, and the explosion's sound was also suppressed by overbearing true qi.

Shen Qing walked up to the Master realm martial artist, his voice flat: "Continue."

The Master realm martial artist swallowed, thinking, "Is this a hidden weapon? This power doesn't seem right."

"How can it be more fierce than a heaven-shaking cannon?"

But soon, the Master realm martial artist found a reason to convince himself.

"Single shot! Point shot! One hit, one kill! And silent! Matches the characteristics! It must be a hidden weapon!"

The Master realm martial artist turned, ran to the side of the personnel assembling the heaven-shaking cannon, directly began installing; after a while, the heaven-shaking cannon beside him was fully assembled.

Several soldiers quickly loaded the ammunition, then looked toward Shen Qing.

"Lord Shen! Loading complete!"

At the same time, inside Moonwatch Valley.

The leader of the Black Snake Army, Sato Taro, was inside the valley directing the troops to organize their armaments.

Suddenly, a deputy commander walked over holding a carrier pigeon.

"General! There's a secret letter!"

Sato Taro took the carrier pigeon, his face somewhat doubtful: "Where did it come from?"

"It's an insider from the North River Army."

Sato Taro's doubt then faded: "Looks like we have new intelligence again; prepare to sortie, at dawn we'll rush full speed to assault the North River Army!"

Having said that, Sato Taro opened the secret letter, but there was no message on it, only two lines written in flourish.

"Damn Japanese pirates, I fuck you X!"

"Have you eaten breakfast? If not, take my cannon!"

Sato Taro's face immediately darkened, a bad premonition surged in his heart.

The next moment, a red flare shot up rapidly from the south side, immediately followed by a loud shout.

"Fire!"

As the words fell, the sound of cannon shells being fired continued, and from all directions, the three armies' over a hundred heaven-shaking cannons simultaneously belched flames.

Inside Moonwatch Valley, it also began to rain, but the raindrops were cannon shells.

Sato Taro's face changed drastically: "Take cover quickly!"

But wanting to hide? It's not that easy.

They were gathering, five thousand Japanese pirates in the open ground inside Moonwatch Valley; one could say the first wave of cannon shells hit them fully.

Several shells from the heaven-shaking cannons landed precisely in the crowd.

In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, cries for father and mother.

Before they could even react, the sound of the second wave of cannon shells being fired rang in their ears like the King of Hell demanding their lives.

The terrifying power made the entire Moonwatch Valley tremble slightly, and rocks on both sides continually rolled down.

The Japanese pirates hiding beneath the cliffs were directly buried alive.

After ten consecutive rounds of heaven-shaking cannons, the ground of Moonwatch Valley was completely overturned.

After waiting a long while, the heaven-shaking cannons fell silent.

Sato Taro brushed the dust from his head, gazing at the severed limbs scattered across the ground, gritting his teeth.

"Anyone who can still move, stand up! Their heaven-shaking cannons must be spent; quickly break out toward the two exits!"

"Quick!"

The surviving Japanese pirates also didn't hesitate, picked up their weapons and charged toward the two sides, the fierce footsteps echoing in Moonwatch Valley.

Meanwhile, at the two exits, troops had long been prepared in strict formation.

At the southern exit, the Golden Spear Army had already made preparations; at the forefront, a young soldier scratched the corner of his garment, wiping the sweat from his palm.

His name is Zhang Po, a Postnatal realm soldier, only nineteen years old; he used to dream of becoming a peerless hero, so upon hearing the news of the Japanese pirates' invasion he enlisted.

But after experiencing the cruelty of war, his heroic dream gradually faded.

At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps sounded; a veteran beside him gripped his spear tightly and let out a low shout.

"Japanese pirates are coming! Get ready!"

Soon, a large band of Japanese pirates burst out of the valley.

The soldiers of the Golden Spear Army filled their eyes with killing intent and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

The army surged forward ferociously, and Zhang Po naturally was among them; he gripped his long spear tightly and fought alongside the Japanese pirates rushing toward him.

But ultimately he suffered from lack of experience; in a moment he failed to hold his spear steady and it slipped from his hand.

Meanwhile, the Japanese pirate's sword was already swinging toward his head.

At that instant, Zhang Po's mind went blank.

But just then, a hand flashing with glazed white light reached out and, with a single palm, smashed both the pirate's sword and the pirate himself to pieces.

Shen Qing grabbed Zhang Po's shoulder with one hand and lifted him up, then extended his true qi to draw the spear that Zhang Po had dropped back into his hand.

Shen Qing patted his shoulder: "Wanting to achieve great deeds is good, but staying alive is the key."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qing drew his Crimson Sky sword and strode forward toward the Japanese pirates.

"Your time of death has arrived!"

"Ninefold Thunder Blade!!!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge lightning dragon flickered into view, hurtling at terrifying speed toward the Japanese pirates; wherever it passed, all the pirates were sliced into flying ash, and those caught in its aftermath were also flung into the sky.

This blade caused all the Golden Spear Army soldiers to widen their eyes.

Meanwhile, Zhang Po stared with glowing eyes at Shen Qing's back.

At this moment, the heroic dream long buried in his heart revived once again.

And the face of the peerless hero from his dream gradually overlapped with Shen Qing's face.

Until they completely merged into one.
