At the Banshee Country Pier, cannons roared, fires burst out, and screams continued.
However, I saw that the Banshee Kingdom's naval fleet was in disarray, with everyone on their backs, and the chaos was extreme.
They either fired wildly in all directions, or shook their sails and fled quickly, and some were even hit by their own cannonballs.
Looking at the Banshee Nation sailors on the battleship, they were also in chaos. Some were rolling with their heads in their hands, some were shooting arrows into the sea, and some were standing directly on the deck and diving.
The sailors all looked frightened, as if they had seen some huge monster.
Among the many warships in chaos, only one with black sails remained calm.
On the deck, many Daxuan navy troops squatted under the side of the ship, watching every move on the dock through the cannon holes.
Before that, they had already loaded the cannon shells, and now they were holding torches, ready to light the cannon at any time.
While waiting, one or two cannonballs occasionally passed over the pirate ship, and one even hit the stern, breaking off a large piece of the stern.
Even though some soldiers were injured, no one dared to move without orders from superiors.
Listening to the shouts of killing outside, Naval Commander Wu Yubao seemed extremely anxious and couldn't help but ask Captain Xiao Zhennan:
"I don't know how long this lemon toxin can last? Why hasn't Mr. Xu come back yet?"
At this moment, Wu Yubao and others were waiting in Hei Boyu's captain's cabin. Through the porthole of the captain's cabin, they could also see the situation outside.
Xiao Zhennan kept staring outside and did not answer Wu Yubao's question.
"Just wait," Han Feier replied on her behalf, "According to those pirates who have used lemon toxin, what we release can last for two hours.
"It's only halfway through now, Master Xu and the others will definitely come back!"
"Oh," Wu Yubao frowned deeply, obviously still worried, "What exactly did Mr. Xu find? Is the matter of the mission really related to the Banshee Country? But if it is related, then why are these Banshee Marines
Are they all affected by lemon toxin?"
"Hey," suddenly, guard Hou Zhen shouted at Wu Yubao, "You talk too much, don't you? Are you able to figure out Mr. Xu's plan?"
"Oh..." Wu Yubao nodded, not daring to speak any more.
"Is...is it lemon toxin?" However, Shen Xingran on the other side asked with a puzzled face, "We...where did we get the lemon toxin?"
Hearing this, Wu Yubao glanced at Shen Xingran angrily. Does that mean you won't let me talk nonsense? You can just be blind, right?
However, Hou Zhen clearly had double standards and answered Shen Xingran's question politely:
"Master Shen, it's like this. After we put out the fire on the pirate ship, we found dozens of well-preserved lemon water boxes in the bottom warehouse.
"So, Master Xu did not destroy it, but asked Hei Boyu's men to use it."
"Master Xu is really clever," Han Feier echoed, "It's just time to put it to use now."
"Oh..." Shen Xingran realized, "So, we released those lemons, and then the hallucinogenic effect was produced."
"Yes," Hou Zhen said, "What the sailors from the Banshee Nation see now is the giant siren dragon we saw before!"
"Then...then what are you waiting for?" Wu Yubao couldn't bear it anymore and immediately clapped his hands and said, "Xiao Daxia, let's take advantage of their chaos and just fire and sink them?
"Otherwise, once the lemon toxin disappears, we will definitely be surrounded by them!"
It turned out that this was what Wu Yubao had been worried about.
"No," Xiao Zhennan turned around and said firmly, "The situation is not clear now. Releasing lemon toxin is one thing, but firing a cannon is another!"
"Yes," Han Feier agreed with a solemn expression, "As long as we don't admit the lemon poison, they can't do anything to us.
"But once the cannon is fired, it's a war!"
"Then what should we do?" Wu Yubao said excitedly, "What if...oh no, Mr. Xu hasn't come back yet, or comes back late, we won't be able to leave even if we want to!"
"You are so noisy," Hou Zhen grabbed Wu Yubao's collar and lifted him up into the air, "Are you cursing Mr. Xu?"
After saying that, he threw Wu Yubao into the corner with a strong force, and threatened: "If you dare to talk more, be careful and I will cut out your tongue, hum!"
"..." Wu Yubao quickly covered his mouth.
"Huh? That's wrong?" However, Shen Xingran asked again full of doubts, "The sailors were always on the deck, and the warriors all went to the palace. How were those lemons... put into the water?"
"..." Wu Yubao glared at Shen Xingran fiercely, does that mean you also want to have your tongue cut out?
However, the show was slapped in the face again, and Hou Zhen answered Shen Xingran's question with unusual respect:
"It's like this, Mr. Shen. In fact, those who put on the sailor uniforms are not warriors, but the pirates we captured from Qizhou, as well as some pirates under Hei Bo Yu. Those are all used as cannon fodder!"
"Ah!?" Shen Xingran was shocked, "Really?"
"Hahaha," Han Feier said with a silvery smile, "Master Xu gave those people ordinary Qi-boosting pills and lied to them that they were poison.
"As long as they were obedient, they would be given the antidote later, so they honestly acted out a show in front of Kong Zhen."
"In fact," Hou Zhen continued, "the warriors had already disembarked the ship with the lemons and released them in the harbor area."
"Ah? In that case," Shen Xingran said worriedly, "Jiying, oh, what will Master Xu do? Didn't we originally plan to have the warriors pretend to be wounded and then respond to them?"
"That would be in the open," Han Feier said, "but now, the warriors are operating in the dark. Wouldn't it be safer to respond to Lord Xu like this?"
"Yes," Hou Zhen nodded to Shen Xingran, "Don't worry, Master Shen, Master Xu and the others will definitely return on time!"
"Oh..." Shen Xingran nodded repeatedly and murmured a prayer, "I hope Jiying can find out everything! I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince is okay?"
Unexpectedly, as if it came true, as soon as Shen Xingran finished speaking, the excited shouts of the sailors came from outside:
"Look, that's Master Xu! Master Xu is back, Master Xu is back!"
oh?
Everyone in the captain's room straightened up immediately, then quickly rushed out of the captain's room and went outside to greet him.
After a while, they saw Xu Zun first appearing on the deck holding Ku Niang, who was seriously injured and unconscious.
Immediately after, came Zhao Yu, Huo Anu, A Ni, Jiang Hua and others, and behind them were the first-rate warriors headed by Zhao Xin.
"Ah?" Han Feier saw Ku Niang in Xu Zun's arms and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with Ku Niang?"
With that said, she took the initiative to take Ku Niang and check the injury.
At the same time, Ani also put down Queen Kong Zhen, who was also seriously injured and unconscious.
"Hou Zhen," Xu Zun said, "take her into custody and make sure she doesn't make any mistakes!"
"Ah?" Hou Zhen recognized Kong Zhen. First his body trembled, and then he nodded in agreement, "Yes! Sir, please rest assured!"
After saying this, he went to escort Kong Zhen.
"Be careful," Huo Anu reminded, panting heavily, "this queen also has skills!"
"Xiao Daxia!" Xu Zun said to Xiao Zhennan with a cold face, "It has been confirmed that the attack on our Daxuan mission was committed by the Banshee King Kong Zhen."
After saying that, Xu Zun turned around, looked at the banshee battleships that were still in chaos, and said coldly:
"Now, we are going to sink all the naval warships of the Banshee Kingdom!!!"
