Chapter 562 He knows too much
With the artillery's performance still abysmal, the naval battle was very barbaric. After several rounds of arrows, big ships collided and were violently crushed. Not long after, ships sank everywhere, the scene was spectacular and cruel.
What is unsinkable is a hand-to-hand combat on board the ship, where Hai Qianfan, Hua Zhenming and others leap over, and a massacre occurs where the tigers enter the flock.
When Penglai and pirates attacked various countries, it was simply an abuse, with two giants blasting a group of children.
From the strategic purpose of annihilating all countries' fleets, this effect is certainly much better than the previously imagined effect of driving countries to become cannon fodder.
The so-called cannon fodder, others are not fools, how can you just give them all away? Even if someone goes to explore the road, they may not be able to do anything. The ships just wander around and you don't know what they are exploring. After all, the sea is different from the land.
Only by truly breaking things off and attacking from both sides can we achieve maximum results. The bigger the ship, the slower it will turn around and run away. If it is blocked from both sides, it will be impossible to escape even if it wants to.
Lai Qi was stunned, and after a while he stammered: "Hai, Haishuai, you and the Tianyuan Pirates..."
Hai Changkong looked calm: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Lai Qi thinks it’s amazing that you can’t stop talking to me like this...
But I heard Hai Changkong say: "If General Lai can see clearly, he should know that this is indeed the meaning of Poseidon. Of course, this kind of thing... I also know whether I can tell the outside world. I need a 'third party participating in the coalition' to tell me General Lai is a smart man and very suitable for external propaganda."
Lai Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "Hai Shuai needs Lai to say something?"
“Of course there were spies from various countries, which led to a sneak attack by pirates, resulting in heavy casualties. Even several of my ships were sunk. Didn’t you see it?”
“…The general is planning to retreat in defeat? Wouldn’t this damage the general’s reputation?”
“Poseidon’s will is high, so why should I regret my personal reputation?”
Lai Qi had a complicated mood and could only say: "Yes, I know how to publicize it."
Hai Changkong glanced at him and said as if unintentionally: "Where are your two personal guards?"
Lai Qi's heart skipped a beat. When he turned around, he saw that Zhao Changhe and Sanniang had disappeared.
Hai Changkong smiled and patted Lai Qi on the shoulder: "You can choose anyone to publicize your caliber to the outside world. The reason why I chose you is not necessarily because you came early and are the weakest... In fact, because you are too weak, the credibility of your words will be adversely affected. I have to give a discount, it’s not very suitable...the reason why I chose you...haha."
After saying that, he strode away and went straight to a seemingly inconspicuous frigate in his own fleet.
Lai Qi frowned, there was something in Hai Changkong’s last words...
Does this mean he recognized these two guards and chose him, Lai Qi, for their sake?
But where did those two people go?
…
No matter what the old feud is, whether the pirates are close or not, the war can be ignored or you can choose sides, but Zhao Changhe can't stand this kind of cult that sacrifices believers to awaken the evil god.
A war is a war, so what is the point of tricking people into sacrificing to evil gods like this?
If he could just sit back and watch such a thing for the sake of his own "overall situation", Zhao Changhe felt that he would not have the face to see Yue Hongling again in the future.
So he asked Sanniang: "There should be a formation for the sacrifice. Isn't it just a matter of killing someone?"
"Yes." Sanniang knew what he was thinking: "You want to destroy it?"
"Yeah." Zhao Changhe sighed: "What is going on in this war? We are currently confused and cannot judge for the time being, but it can always be done to prevent the evil **** from making sacrifices. At least it can prevent the sea **** from being revived so easily?"
Sanniang was silent for a moment: "Then follow me."
As the Venerable Xuanwu of the Four Symbols Sect, I am very familiar with this kind of thing... She is really not as experienced in this stuff in the Sea as she is in the Four Symbols Sect. How the energy of the sacrifice flows and where the core of the circle is is can be seen almost at a glance.
Then it was on one of the very inconspicuous **** ships of the Penglai warship. If most people found something wrong, they would go straight to the flagship, or they might think it was arranged somewhere on the island, but who knows, they would hide in an ordinary ship. In the boat?
This ship is even seriously fighting people...
The two took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the lower cabin. The cabin was heavily guarded, but to them it was almost nothing.
Before Zhao Changhe took action, the fragrant wind blew by, and all the guards were knocked down by Sanniang and fainted aside.
Zhao Changhe glanced at Sanniang and sighed: "Are you afraid that I will kill them?"
Zhao Changhe laughed dumbly, knowing that the complicated emotions in Guigui's heart might make Guigui lie down. He didn't even bother to talk to her about this, and looked intently at the strange magic circle in the cabin. Compared with the super-large formation formed by connecting the seven seas that is needed to revive the gods, this formation is pitifully small, but in fact it is the largest formation that Zhao Changhe has ever seen in this life. But a big sea ship is not just an ordinary small sampan spread all over the sea. The bilge is full. How big is it?
The entire array glowed with a soft blue light, flowing and inscribed through a texture that Zhao Changhe could not identify. The core of the array was the familiar blue crystal, and a vicious eye faintly floated above the crystal. , staring at the two of them.
Zhao Changhe pulled out the dragon bird: "According to my understanding, if you remove the crystal core, the formation will stop, right?"
Of course that’s right.
The eyes on the crystal core slowly turned into a transparent water person, and he said coldly: "It's a pity that you can't do it."
Zhao Changhe said: "How many of these water-man crystal nuclei have been made by Poseidon? If you have some free time, why don't you go out and play by yourself?"
water man:"…"
"Whoosh!" Longque crossed a few feet away and arrived at the water man's door in an instant: "If we could kill one of us before, we can kill the second one!"
“Pah!” The waterman raised his hand coldly to hold the dragon bird, and immediately looked a little shocked.
If it were in the past, Zhao Changhe's strike would have cut off the water and would have no effect.
At this moment, the knife intersects with the water and cannot go through.
It's not that the water man gathered his strength to hold the knife... but that the knife itself didn't go through. It is truly a water-man body, forming a real energy confrontation!
Although Zhao Changhe grunted and couldn't resist Shui Ren's counter-shock, Shui Ren was not having an easy time either. The water rippled all over his body, and he was obviously affected by the impact.
When a punch can disperse the waves, wouldn't it be the same when using a knife to understand its power?
The next moment there was a roar of heavy punches, and Sanniang's fist had reached her face.
There was a "bang", and the water man's newly condensed head turned into a pulp.
Scattered water droplets splashed in all directions, and each drop of water penetrated easily through the cabin. In an instant, the cabin was riddled with holes, and the warship began to shake.
A sigh came from outside the cabin: "The ship cannot be destroyed. Once this formation melts into the sea, it will be even more destructive and may cause the sea area to mutate, and everyone will be seriously affected. Otherwise, why would we put it on the ship..."
Sanniang suddenly turned her head and met Hai Changkong's complicated eyes.
"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and seeing Her Royal Highness Princess in such a heroic figure... I have mixed feelings." Hai Changkong sighed: "Actually, Your Highness, just don't come back... You don't know anything about things at sea, and blindly meddling in it will only do bad things... not to mention…"
Sanniang said calmly: "What's more?"
"Not to mention arousing my murderous intention." Hai Changkong slowly pulled out the long knife from his waist and whispered: "Everything is fine on land, we all want to go back... The princess has already gone ashore, why bother to come back?"
Sanniang didn't seem to see him draw the sword, and said calmly: "Did you always know that I was there?"
"There is nothing wrong with Lai Qi, but many of the people on Lai Qi's ship are not people at all. Maybe he doesn't even know it." Hai Changkong smiled: "When the princess appeared, the images were transmitted to us...especially the princess. There are injuries that haven’t healed yet, but you can still see clearly.”
Sanniang sighed: "In other words, I pretended to be Lai Qi's personal guard to see you. You always knew it, but you didn't show anything. When did I, a man at sea, become as thoughtful as you? "
"It's nothing but a simple mind, which has become the nourishment of the fishmen." Hai Changkong paused and suddenly smiled: "Thinking of old things aside, we also have an unsolved problem. The princess happened to be here. We can finally solve this mystery."
Sanniang said: "Say."
Hai Changkong raised his long sword and looked solemn: "We really want to know where our strength ranks on the troubled times list? The princess is Xuanwu, second on the earth list, and the world is frightened... So, we old people from Jiangnan, how do we rank? Where?"
Sanniang glanced at him up and down, suddenly laughed, and said lightly: "You are not worthy of fighting with me."
After speaking, he turned to look at Shui Man. Shui Man's head had recovered and he was watching the conversation between the two coldly, as if analyzing the information.
A broad knife was placed across the middle. Zhao Changhe grinned and said, "Master Xuanwu, Xiaozhu, please give me some advice from Marshal Hai."
Hai Changkong looked away from Sanniang. He was obviously humiliated, but his expression remained unchanged.
He looked at Zhao Changhe's broad sword with some interest in his eyes: "How high do you rank on the troubled times list?"
Zhao Changhe said: "Don't enter the stream."
"Why hide it from me...Zhao Changhe, who is number one on the list, is willing to be a little pig in order to kiss our princess Fangze." Hai Changkong laughed loudly: "The king of men is romantic, Haihai knows it."

PS: It’s okay. I took medicine and slept for a day, and the fever went down. It's probably just a common cold.
