The port by the river!
A black mass of people and horses moved, filling up the surroundings of the pier!
These people came from different factions and sects. There were people from large and small sects, and there were also people who had formed teams at the last minute. They were elites from different sects, solo players who were pretty good, and there were also rookies who wanted to take advantage of the situation and try their luck.
In any case, the port was filled with people!
However …
Everyone craned their necks and stared at the government-made road not too far away.
"They're here!"
Heavy booms came from the end of the government-made road. The ground trembled slightly, and they could vaguely see dust flying on the government-made road.
"Get ready!"
"Careful! Everyone, be nervous! This time, it's not a normal army! They're all elite heavy-armored cavaliers from the marshall's army. They're skilled in continuous crossbow fire, sword formations, and longspear thrusts. The defense of their heavy armor is incredibly high! It's not something that normal attacks can break, and it's also very difficult for warhorses to injure them! Later, brace yourselves and fight with all you've got!
"Brothers with shields, come to the front!
"Archers, hide at the back! Don't shoot the wrong person! "
The booms grew clearer, and they swiftly drew closer. The voices at the port instantly became complicated. Quite a number of people were calling out to their companions or giving orders to them. Shouts rose and fell.
"Look at the river!"
"A ship is coming to receive them!"
Some of the sharp-eyed people cried out in surprise, and they snapped a lot of people out of their daze.
When they turned their heads around, they saw that the river behind them was shrouded in fog, but they could vaguely see the shadows of a fleet of ships. They were slowly approaching the port through the hazy river.
"Don't worry, since they're here to receive them, it's impossible for them to carry a lot of people. They won't be surrounded!"
Someone in the crowd quickly comforted them loudly.
'I knew it!'
If anyone looked carefully, it was not difficult to notice that the ships on the river were empty, and the water was shallow. The ships should be empty, but there were only people steering them!
Everyone's attention returned to the heavy-armored cavaliers who appeared on the government-made road to escort the treasures from Eunuch Yang's Warehouse.
The elites with sturdy war shields and longspears were moved to the forefront of the port.
They crouched down and pointed their spears at the area outside the port.
The rows of elites with shields and spears made the people at the back feel at ease. The archers nocked their arrows and looked into the distance. They were ready to draw their bows at any moment!
An austere atmosphere instantly enveloped and filled the entire pier.
Everyone held their breath as they stared at the approaching cavalrymen on the official road along the shore. The oppressive aura they exuded was becoming more and more distinct!
…
The people from Towering Palace had been lying in ambush for a long time in the sparse forest across the port.
Nearly one thousand Towering Palace elites carefully hid their tracks under Clear Music's lead. They hid 328 feet away from the government-made road, and no one made a single sound. They did not join up with the people at the port to attack the marshall's army either.
"Second Palace Master! A large group of people is approaching from behind. "
"Whose people? How many people?" Qin Qing was completely focused on the heavy cavalry and carriages galloping on the official road. When she heard someone coming from behind her, she turned around and glanced at them, not paying much attention.
This was Yangzhou City after all.
The person behind him replied,
"I think it's Class One Hall. Dream Clouds also came personally."
"Is that her?"
Qin Qing's brows furrowed.
"Is she also here for Eunuch Yang's Warehouse?"
"There are eighty chests in the caravan. Eighty million taels of silver is nothing, but eighty low-grade demon vessels. I refuse to believe that anyone in Dream Clouds' position would not be tempted by them," Grim Green, who had been silent by the side, said.
Shangguan Lian nodded slowly.
"If Towering Palace could take eighty demon vessels in one go, it would definitely be a huge boost to our development, but by the looks of it now, Class One Hall is determined to get them as well. They don't want to miss this chance."
"…"
The elders around her nodded.
"How many people are there?"
Clear Music's tone sank.
"There should be nearly one thousand people …"
As she spoke, a loud female voice came from the distance. "I am Dream Clouds! I wonder which palace master of Towering Palace is here? "
"Clear Music!"
At the same time she gave her name, Clear Music shot out from the crowd.
"I see, so you're personally leading the group, Palace Master Music. Greetings, Dream Clouds." Dream Clouds appeared in the forest in a graceful and luxurious dress, and she looked incredibly graceful and charming.
But the people from Towering Palace stared at the black mass of people behind Dream Clouds with great wariness.
There were quite a number of Class One Hall elites on Dragon Rank as well.
"Hall Master Dream, you're too polite. You must be here for the treasures from Eunuch Yang's Warehouse, but you'll have to hurry. The caravan is about to enter the port! If you're any later, the people at the port will divide the treasures among themselves, "Clear Music answered while she stared at Dream Clouds calmly.
This woman had been at the top of Phoenix Rank for a long time.
Class One Hall, which she built with her own hands, had become famous even earlier than Towering Palace, and it had nearly become the strongest sect in the Chinese server.
Once she finished speaking, Dream Clouds smiled faintly.
"The marshal's army is invincible in Jiangnan! Our two hundred elite heavy-armored cavaliers have killed more than two thousand martial artists on their way here. It's true that they can fight against ten people alone, but there's no way they'll be easy to deal with. Palace Master Music, didn't you see this, which is why you didn't take action? "
Clear Music smiled faintly, but she did not continue the conversation.
"The people in the world of martial artists can make all sorts of calculations, but they didn't expect that Eunuch Yang's Warehouse will not be opened to the public and will appear in this manner. Little Sister Music, I'll go straight to the point. This time, I came to you in hopes of working together with Class One Hall and Towering Palace to take down the caravan protected by the heavy-armored cavaliers and divide the treasures from Eunuch Yang's Warehouse equally." When she reached the end of her sentence, Dream Clouds' tone changed, and she said, "With the strength of our sects, it'll be easy for us to take down the items from Eunuch Yang's Warehouse. What do you think?"
"Divide equally?"
"That's right. Each of us will get forty treasure chests. We won't consider the others."
Dream Clouds nodded.
Before her voice faded away, Clear Music laughed coldly.
"Hall Master Dream, it's easy for you to say, but you seem to have forgotten that this is Yangzhou! This is Towering Palace's headquarters. You brought so many people from the north to Yangzhou, and you want to work together with us to snatch the treasures from Eunuch Yang's Warehouse in Towering Palace's territory? You even want to divide the treasures equally? Aren't you looking down on Towering Palace a little too much? " If they truly worked together, the allied sects would definitely pay attention to Towering Palace's reaction. No one would treat Class One Hall, which was a force of power in the north that had traveled a long way, seriously. It was indeed a little inappropriate for Dream Clouds to want half of the treasures with just a few words.
"Then we'll listen to you. Class One Hall will get thirty chests, and the rest will belong to Towering Palace. What do you think?" Dream Clouds was not angry. She continued smiling, and without another word, she took a step back.
Clear Music was tempted. Right when she was about to agree to it, her younger sister, Musical Note's voice rose from the back of the crowd.
"Hall Master Dream, your words sure sound nice. If our sects don't get eighty treasure chests in total and don't even get half of them, what should we say? Wouldn't Towering Palace be working hard for you? "
