Musical Note's appearance and her words instantly alerted Clear Music. She sucked in a sharp breath and understood just what sort of trap she had nearly fallen into.
Even though there was a high possibility that Towering Palace and Class One Hall would be able to take all the treasure chests if they worked together, what if? If there was a later part to the quest and the process did not go smoothly, they would rashly agree to Dream Clouds' request. Then, when they distributed the spoils of war, based on what Dream Clouds said, they must first give thirty to Class One Hall, and Towering Palace could only resign themselves to fate as to how many were left.
"Sister Musical Note, you must be joking. If our sects work together, forget about destroying the marshal's army, we can even get rid of the sects at the port. You're too cautious, Sister Musical Note."
Dream Clouds smiled.
When the people from Towering Palace heard it, they thought that it made sense.
"That might not be the case."
No matter what, Musical Note was the current palace master of Towering Palace. When the crowd parted, she walked to the front and nodded at her sister. She quietly took a step back and looked as if she wanted Musical Note to negotiate.
When she noticed this, Dream Clouds frowned a little.
Her previous words could be considered to have been in vain.
"Since you're worried, then based on your thoughts, how should we distribute the treasure chests?"
"I don't think there's a need for us to work together."
When Musical Note spoke, the people from Class One Hall and Towering Palace were shocked.
Dream Clouds was stunned on the spot.
Clear Music also stared at her sister in shock. She did not know what her sister was thinking.
"Could it be that Towering Palace wants to take all the treasures from Eunuch Yang's Warehouse for themselves? Sister Musical Note, your appetite is much greater than your sister's. It's best if people don't die for wealth. "
Dream Clouds sucked in a deep breath, and her expression was no longer as pleasant as before.
"Eunuch Yang's Warehouse has always been an item without an owner, and anyone can fight for it. I just think that with our strength, we might not be able to take everything, and at that time, we might anger the alliance sects in the coastal area. At that time, Class One Hall can just leave and leave, leaving Towering Palace to become the target of everyone. Hall Master Dream, you sure have your wishful thinking, but I have to think about it. That's why I absolutely cannot agree to working together with you. How many treasure chests we get will depend on our own abilities."
Once she said those words, not only did Dream Clouds and Class One Hall's anger extinguish and turn into resignation, Towering Palace also came to a realization.
That's right!
Right now, the matter regarding Eunuch Yang's Warehouse had stirred up a commotion, and the elites from all over the world had gathered in Yangzhou. If Towering Palace recklessly worked together with Class One Hall, they would truly be risking universal condemnation. They would become enemies with all the heroes in the world, and they would make countless enemies out of the blue.
When he thought about it this way, there was indeed no need for Towering Palace to sink into such an awkward and dangerous situation for a few demon vessels.
"Alright."
Dream Clouds sighed. "Since you have your reservations, Sister Musical Note, I will not force you. How much we can get will depend on our own abilities. Farewell." Once she finished speaking, she flung her sleeves and left with an unpleasant expression.
Without Towering Palace as their support, even though Class One Hall had quite a lot of people, they would definitely suffer quite a lot of losses if they had to fight for the treasure chests in the crowd.
Furthermore …
He had to take care of Towering Palace's dignity during the fight.
After all, Towering Palace was the local tyrant in Yangzhou. With just one order, they could mobilize their forces to lock down the land and sea. At that time, if they could not bring out the treasure chests even if they obtained them, it would be very awkward.
This was the true reason behind why Dream Clouds' expression was so unpleasant after she was rejected.
…
Just when the negotiation between Towering Palace and Class One Hall broke down, the port was filled with arrows!
Pained screams rose nonstop on the port!
Due to inertia, everyone had overlooked a possibility of the elite heavy-armored cavaliers.
All the way!
The elite heavy-armored cavaliers escorted the caravan never slowed down or stopped.
This situation caused the people at the port to naturally believe that the cavaliers and caravan would definitely rush into the narrow port without hesitation.
But things did not turn out as they wished.
The formation that had been set up a long time ago became like decorations due to the sudden halt of the elite heavy-armored cavaliers, and it was incredibly awkward.
Whoosh!
The heavy-armored cavaliers brought out their crossbows in an orderly fashion and raised them horizontally to point at the crowd at the port.
"Damn it!"
"Fire!"
"Search for cover!"
The defense of the war shields might be strong, but they were not huge shields that could cover the entire body in a real battle. Martial artists could not buy and use that sort of forbidden item.
Hence, when the heavy-armored cavaliers moved into a formation that allowed them to defend their positions and push forward, the people at the port instantly panicked.
Arrows flew everywhere in the air.
But to the heavy-armored cavaliers who were armed to the teeth, these arrows were like a drizzle that fell on the ground. They did not shake their stance of holding their crossbows horizontally.
Thud!
Thud!
Without any orders, the cavaliers pulled their triggers at the same time. Rows of neat crossbow bolts brought with them a fierce sound as they tore through the air. They gathered into rows of dazzling light that shocked the hearts of the people at the port.
The people at the port felt as if their souls were about to leave their bodies. Some of the shield-wielding elites at the front row were also hit by arrows. They could not withstand it and jumped into the river.
Without the protection of the people at the front, the people at the back also jumped into the river. Those who were slightly slower were instantly pierced by thousands of arrows, and they turned into porcupines.
The port had been filled with murderous intent and had a neat formation just moments ago, but in an instant, more than one hundred corpses littered the ground. The river on both sides was dyed red with blood. Many people were hit by arrows and struggled in the river. The entire scene looked like hell.
The elite heavy-armored cavaliers of the marshall's army did not move. They pushed forward slowly and continuously reloaded their crossbows to shoot at the martial artists in the river and at the riverbank.
Wave after wave of arrows mercilessly harvested lives!
When they saw this, the one thousand or so people who hid in the sparse forest at the back sucked in sharp breaths.
Everyone had already realized that they had underestimated the combat abilities of the marshall's elite heavy-armored cavaliers, and they had also underestimated the collective fighting abilities of a truly powerful regular army.
Perhaps many people could kill two hundred elite heavy-armored cavaliers within a short period of time if they attacked them one by one, but when more than one thousand Life and Death Realm martial artists faced two hundred elite heavy-armored cavaliers, they felt as if they were facing a cold and merciless killing machine. They could not fight back at all, and they were utterly defeated.
"…"
Not only did the people from Towering Palace fall silent, even Class One Hall's Dream Clouds did not give the order to attack even after a long time had passed since she personally witnessed the marshall's army's fighting abilities.
She could only watch as the elite heavy-armored cavaliers killed all the living people near the port and chased them away, leaving behind countless corpses!
Thud!
Thud!
Once the elite heavy-armored cavaliers completed the task of harvesting lives, due to the unique terrain of the port, they finally began to change their formation. A group of people protected the sides of the port, and the others protected the carts as they drove into the narrow port.
The transport ships on the river finally approached the port slowly.
When they saw this, the people from Towering Palace and Class One Hall, who originally felt that they had no hope, rushed to the port from the sparse forest at the same time.
Battle broke out again.
However, due to the carts blocking the port, the firepower of the elite heavy-armored cavaliers was clearly weakened by one-third. Two rounds of arrow showers only managed to kill less than one hundred people.
The black mass of people rushed to the elite heavy-armored cavaliers like a tidal wave!
