At the same time, in a remote location across thesurface of the Aman River.
Xi Lei’s Duke Ming suddenly felt cold shivers travel fromhis spine down to his thighs.
“Young Lord, you’re shivering.” Because Luo Yun was grippingFeng Ming’s hands, he was the first to notice his shivering body.
His tone, however, no longer was ridiculing or disdainful asit had been in the past.
He did not have the ability to mock Feng Ming after thisnight. The powerful Xiao Family, who for 100 years celebrated their famousability to deter enemies, was the target of bitter defeat.
Floating on the Aman River, they were overwhelmed by thesound of cold wind and the burning of flames. Still burning, while emittingbright light and producing red, hot flames, was the Xiao Family ship’s famousfleet sailing banner.
After the first round of intense fighting, their bodiesreeked of blood and their physical strength completely drained.
From the direction of the mysterious enemy ship, the soundof an unusual horn could be heard. It was as if a lingering ghost was howlingtowards the night sky. Once the terrifying sound of the horn ceased, the wholeriver became deathly quiet and still.
At this moment, if a new attack were to occur, it wouldsurely lead to the whole army being destroyed.
The shadow of death descended heavily on the hearts of thosepresent.
The atmosphere seemed to befrozen, everything surrounded by a deathly stillness that made the situationall the more hateful. The amount of wood scraps in the water lessened and theimpact made by the crashing ship had significantly reduced, but the situationremained bad. The sails of the 6th big ship, where Tong Kingdom’sRoyal Uncle was, caught on fire with flames that were quickly spreading. Woodscraps violently crashed towards the bottom of the ship, creating holes. Waterfrom the river rushed into the bottom cabins through the holes causing the shipto tilt on its side.
Their faces were all white assheets for they already lost control of the fleet’s helms. Don’t even mentionthe possibility of dealing with half of the pirate ships when even coping withone common warship was a difficult task to accomplish without paying a heftyprice.
“Where did all thesepirates actually come from?” Feng Ming’s question attracted the attention ofthe men on board. These were all men who had faced death calmly without even aflinch. Standing at the forefront of the ship, they all stared bewilderinglyupstream in the direction of the enemy’s main ship.
Rong Hu abandoned the arrows, returned his sword to hishand, and went to stand beside Feng Ming. He stared deeply at the source oftheir incoming crisis. “They’re strong. I fear that they may be the infamouspirates of Dan Lin, known for their fierceness and cruelty.”
Feng Ming let out a sharp breath.
This time, they may actually die in an unjust way.
He had only thought the biggest issue he may face during hisjourney was encountering the Kingdom of Li’s lunatic king. If that were thecase, he could just use his father’s name to save himself.
Who would have thought that pirates would attack them at theAman River, stopping them from moving any further? No matter how much Feng Mingracked his brain, he could not understand how he could have offend so manypeople.
Recalling Zi Yan, Feng Ming’s heart skipped a beat.
In order to solve his future troublesand open up a path to transport the sand, Feng Ming first had to deal with DanLin’s pirates.
Currently, Dan Lin’spirates are attacking our Xiao Family’s ships with no apparent reason. Don’ttell me…
“Zi Yan!” Feng Ming cried out, feeling something was wrong,he looked at Rong Hu.
