The alarm sounded and hundreds and thousands of torches were lit one by one. They were like stars in the night sky, illuminating the water stockade as if it was daytime and completely dispelling the darkness of the night.
"What happened?"
Awakened by the ear-piercing alarm, the soldiers who had just crawled out of their warm blankets asked each other what was going on in a daze.
"I don't know. It's the flagship!"
"I heard there are assassins!"
"Assassin? Who's so audacious? Does he not want to live anymore?! "
"Damn it! How dare they disturb my sweet dreams! I will definitely teach them a lesson!"
"That's right. You're making a ruckus in the middle of the night. You're not even letting us rest properly!"
The soldiers who had been woken up were filled with resentment.
"Stop quarreling and gather on the deck!" The leading officer began to gather the troops.
The warships around the Overlord were already closing in on the Overlord, preparing to set up a springboard to provide support. To the navy of Overlord City, being provoked in their territory was something that could not be tolerated.
After being stifled for so many days, the soldiers had long wanted to stretch their muscles and bones.
"Perfect, let's start with these goddamn assassins!" The soldiers were filled with killing intent.
A murderous aura gathered above the water stockade.
At the same time, in an inconspicuous corner of the water stockade, an ambiguous gaze was cast over. Overlord City's navy was not the only one stationed in the Wulin Water Stockade, there were also two other feudal lords.
"Interesting!" A suzerain sighed.
Naturally, they wouldn't join in the fun and would just watch the show quietly from the sidelines. Up until now, no one believed that the enemy's assassination would succeed.
That was simply wishful thinking!
…
On the top deck of the Overlord, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
"General, the enemy's water camp has been alerted. What should we do now?" the soldier asked Wang Feng.
Wang Feng didn't panic, and a look of determination flashed across his face. "Gather all the frogmen to the top deck, and ignore everything else. Once the team has assembled, immediately set the fire! "
"Understood!" A trace of determination flashed across the soldier's face.
Before they set off, they had already thought about the consequences of setting a fire. They were unafraid of death.
"Tell the frogmen to start working immediately. Don't let the target escape!" Wang Feng added.
"Don't worry, General. I've already given the order!"
"Then let's fight!"
Wang Feng threw away the God's Crossbow and took out his spear.
"Kill!"
Immediately, the Divine Martial Guards and the Forbidden Army clashed.
The two most elite troops were like a needle against an awn, competing with each other. In comparison, the three hundred frogmen were not enough. After all, they came from the navy and were not good at close combat.
As the alarm sounded, the Overlord also woke up. Before the frogmen could reap their lives, the soldiers on the warship had already put on their armor and rushed out of the cabin.
Even the sailors of the warship had picked up their weapons and joined the battle.
On every deck, in every corridor, in every room, a massacre was taking place. Under the light of the fire, the shadows of swords and sabers cast erratic shadows on the wall, like the long river of fate that no one could grasp.
The Overlord's fierce counterattack immediately caused the frogmen team responsible for clearing the cabins to suffer heavy losses.
The order to gather at the top had been issued, but the frogmen could not leave. On the contrary, some of the Overlord City's navy broke through the defense line and began to gather on the top deck.
The frogmen naturally wouldn't agree.
Before they set off, they made a death oath in front of Jun Shang. If they didn't complete the task, they wouldn't go back alive.
Both sides fought with their lives on the line, fighting for the passage to the top deck. In just twenty minutes, the small corridor changed hands several times, and the corpses piled up like a small hill.
Blood soaked the deck and dripped onto the deck of the next floor. It was like an endless hell.
The navy of both sides fought in such a way, and it was extremely tragic.
At this time, the frogmen in charge of the periphery arrived in time and finally stabilized the situation. The frogmen team simply built simple fortifications at the entrance of the passage to resist the attack of the Overlord City's navy.
Anyway, on the top deck, Shanhai City had the advantage in terms of military strength. The longer the battle dragged on, the more advantageous it was for Shanhai City.
How could the Overlord City's navy not understand this? Their attacks became more and more frenzied.
The good news was that the reinforcements from the surrounding warships moved quickly and had already smoothly entered the Overlord through the gangplank. Once the reinforcements kept coming, the entire decapitation operation would end in failure.
The most crucial thing now was the battle on the top deck.
The Divine Guards were worthy of being the strongest army in China. Even the powerful Imperial Guards of Overlord City were no match for the Divine Guards. Coupled with the cooperation of the frogmen team, the Imperial Guards were beaten back again and again.
Seeing that they were no match, the Imperial Guards decisively abandoned the deck and retreated to the cabin. They began to fight a special "street battle" with the Divine Guards by relying on the passages, rooms, and other terrain.
It had to be said that the Imperial Guards' choice was very smart.
In the narrow passage, the Divine Guards' advantage in numbers could not be exerted at all. The three hundred frogmen were completely reduced to bystanders and could only be responsible for rescuing the wounded in the rear.
The battle was at a stalemate.
At this time, Xiong Ba rushed out from the end of the passage with his guards. As soon as he arrived at the front line, Xiong Ba recognized the Divine Guards. The scarlet Divine Martial Cloak was too eye-catching.
"How can there be no clothes? It really is you!"
Xiong Ba's expression was strange. He seemed surprised, relaxed, and solemn.
Originally, according to Xiong Ba's speculation, even if the other party was an army, there would not be more than a hundred people. Who would have thought that the news that was reported left him dumbfounded.
Xiong Ba could not imagine what kind of heaven-defying means the other party had used to quietly send more than two thousand people into the water stockade.
At that time, Xiong Ba broke out in a cold sweat.
If not for the patrol member's "accident", he, Xiong Ba, might really have been silently assassinated by the Shanhai City army in his bedroom.
If that really happened, he would be disgraced if word got out.
The difficult situation forced Xiong Ba to step forward and personally participate in the battle. If this dragged on, once the Imperial Guards were destroyed and the reinforcements did not arrive in time, it would be over.
Xiong Ba was unusually valiant. He raised his broadsword and killed his way into the crowd. The two-meter long broadsword flashed coldly and drew a white light in the air. He raised the blade and a Divine Guard's head immediately fell to the ground.
"Good!"
Xiong Ba's move immediately boosted the morale.
With a thud, the head hit the ground and rolled a few times before landing at the feet of Wang Feng.
Seeing this, Wang Feng's eyes turned bloodshot. He raised his spear and fought with Xiong Ba. Before setting off, every member had seen the portraits of Xiong Ba and Wolf Warrior.
Therefore, Wang Feng immediately recognized that the person in front of him was his target.
"Good timing!"
Wang Feng's fighting spirit was aroused and his blood was boiling.
The two masters fought in the narrow passageway, back and forth, it was very lively.
The soldiers on both sides did not stay idle either. They each chose an opponent and fought in pairs. The only unexpected thing was that a captain of the Divine Guards quietly retreated from the passageway.
The deck, which was bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became very deserted.
The captain came to the passageway leading to the lower deck and observed the situation. He saw that the frogmen were fighting with the Overlord City navy. Further away, more and more reinforcements were coming.
The situation was getting more and more critical. The frogmen were about to lose.
A trace of determination flashed in the captain's eyes. Without hesitation, he took out a signal flare and immediately sounded it.
"Whoosh!"
The signal flare streaked across the dark night sky like fireworks.
Almost at the same time, more than twenty frogmen hiding in every corner of the Overlord looked up at the sky and silently stared at the fireworks that streaked across the sky in a beautiful arc and finally disappeared.
The frogmen retracted their gaze and carefully took out a match from their arms. They looked devout as if they were doing a very sacred thing.
The fire lit up and the match was thrown into the Fierce Kerosene. In an instant, the fire soared and the deck was set ablaze. It was as if a fire dragon had suddenly come to life on the deck.
In the sky full of fire, the frogman took out the Tang knife at his waist. A trace of relief flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "Brothers, I'll go first!"
As he spoke, he raised the knife and slashed across his neck. Blood spurted out in a dazzling display. More than twenty nameless heroes fell just like that. They fell in a corner that no one paid attention to and were unknown to the public.
"Not good, the flagship is on fire!"
"Go and put out the fire!"
"Ah ~ ~ ~ Help ~ ~ ~"
"Damn it, where did the fire come from? The road ahead is blocked!"
"Put out the fire first!"
The Overlord was suddenly in a mess. Some of the soldiers who came as reinforcements directly "rushed" into the sea of fire.
Further away, seeing the flagship on fire, the entire water stockade was completely in trouble. Even the lord, who was hiding in the corner and watching the show, panicked a little.
"What's going on? Why is it on fire? "
"Looking at the fire, it seems to have been planned for a long time. It can't even be put out!" A general on the side said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and help put out the fire!" The lord was a little angry.
If Xiong Ba really died like this, then it would be a big problem. What were they going to do? They could just pack up and leave. Who could deal with a dragon like Shanhai City?
"Yes!"
The general hurried away.
…
On the top deck, the tragic battle was still going on.
Until now, Xiong Ba still did not realize that his flagship had fallen into a sea of fire. Until the billowing smoke from the fire at the bottom of the deck spread to the top floor through the cracks of the deck.
"What's going on?" The imperial guards panicked.
Before he could finish his words, the flames had already started to rise.
"Not good, there's a fire!" The imperial guards were the first to react. Without saying anything, they immediately rushed to the front, ready to protect Xiong Ba and escape.
The direction of escape was actually the depths of the passage.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Wang Feng shouted and immediately led his troops to chase.
Looking at the light, there must be a secret escape route in the passage.
Therefore, Wang Feng would not allow the other party to escape under his eyes no matter what.
"Cover the lord!"
At the critical moment, the imperial guards and imperial guards showed a fearless spirit of sacrifice. One by one, they willingly covered the rear, buying time for Xiong Ba to retreat.
