Chapter 215 Surprise Attack (Subscription Request)

Longjiang, on a flower boat
Huo Wenxuan, the fourth son of the Huo family, took a sip of wine and was in a very good mood. He shouted loudly:

"Sing for me all day long and I'll reward you."

"I won a thousand taels of silver in gambling today, and I want to spend it all."

Recently, the fourth son of the Huo family felt that he had a lot of good news. His father had recovered his power and was in charge of the family again. His eldest sister could pursue her dream and he could also relax a little.

Unlike the past few days, there was no chance to go out and play.

The lady on the flower boat stuck close to Huo Wenxuan and teased:
"How come you have time to come to this flower boat today? You can't waste money."

"I'm not afraid that the young lady will arrest me and hang me up and beat me."

The two seemed to be very familiar with each other and could afford such a joke.

Huo Wenxuan's hands trembled twice, and then he said firmly:

"It doesn't matter."

"My eldest sister is busy training the army and has no time to care about me."

"After today's fun, I won't be here again for a while..."

Huo Wenxuan just took a sip and wanted to say something when a sharp cry suddenly came from Longcheng:

"Uru!"

The originally noisy and bustling flower boat suddenly became quiet, and the lady on the flower boat forced a smile:
"Master, why don't we just forget about it today?"

Huo Wenxuan said somewhat unhappily:

"What are you afraid of?"

"Dance for me, then play the music, then..."

Before Huo Wenxuan could say anything, a merman suddenly jumped onto the flower boat. Just as the guards on the flower boat were about to step forward to stop him, a water blade pierced his heart.

"Sir, leave quickly!"

The mermaid jumped into the flower boat and killed everyone she saw.

"Why are you leaving? Follow me!"

"I am also from the Huo family."

Huo Wenxuan roared in anger. He was no incompetent as he was chosen as one of the heirs by the Earl of Shunyi. Seeing that the mermaid killed anyone she saw, he immediately overturned the table, drew his sword, and killed the mermaid.

Thunderous Blade——The black thunder falls from the sky!
The crackling thunder and lightning were even more powerful than usual on the vaporous surface of the river.

The merman didn't expect that the warrior would use thunder, and his body suddenly felt numb.

"Why are you still standing there!"

The guards around Huo Wenxuan swarmed forward and cut the mermaid into pieces with their swords.

Compared to the mermaid in the Chu Mansion, this mermaid was at the highest level of the Multi-Embryo Realm and was unable to transform into a water element. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Chu Wujiang's news about the mermaids' attack spread throughout the city.

"The lady of the flower boat, please tell someone to drive the boat back."

"quick!"

Huo Wenxuan shouted hurriedly.

The crew on the lower level cried out:
"The boat is leaking."

"Sir, leave quickly!"

Huo Wenxuan didn't care about the lady on the flower boat, and quickly used his lightness skills to fly to the shore.

However, he forgot one thing, that the mermaids came out of the water.

Just as he flew to the center of the river, a water blade pierced Huo Wenxuan's heart. He smiled bitterly:
"Oh no! My elder sister is going to be sad now."

"Fifth brother, let's not drink wine anymore."

The fourth young master of the Huo family tilted his head and was about to fall down. A mermaid jumped out of the river and tried to drag Huo Wenxuan into the water.

At this time, a wave came.

Blue Sea Tidal Power——The ocean is boundless!
A boat was coming from the distance on the river, and standing on the bow was Hong Tao, the eldest son of the Hong family.

He witnessed the attack from a distance and immediately sped up his boat. He even jumped into the river, causing the water to move and sweep the mermaid away.

"Diver, jump into the river, fight the mermaids, and save the crew!"

"Yes, son!"

Mermaids are sons of the sea, and Hong Tao is now also a sea-dweller. He is no worse than mermaids in the water. The mermaid was shocked and was about to approach Hong Tao.

However, the surrounding river water seemed to obey Hong Tao's command and turned into a big hand, which directly twisted the mermaid's neck before she could react.

Those who are blessed by the sea.

……

"Cough cough..."

Huo Wenxuan opened his eyes and shouted in disbelief:
"I'm alive?"

Hong Tao also sighed:
"Of course, luckily I carried a flesh and blood regeneration pill with me, and the merman's stab was a little off, otherwise it would have been really dangerous."

Huo Wenxuan was shocked:

"Brother Hong, why are you here?"

Before Chu Wujiang appeared out of nowhere, the most important nobles in Longzhou, apart from Di Guangzhu, were Hong Tao and Lu Ce, so Huo Wenxuan had to call them "big brother" whenever he saw them.

"You are lucky. Commander Huo just ordered me to go to Zhenhai City to assist in investigating the soldiers of the Coastal Defense Army. I happened to meet you."

Hong Tao explained first, then asked anxiously:
"Without saying this, can you still move?"

Huo Wenxuan supported himself and stood up, and said quickly:

"Ahem, it's OK." "Where's the flower boat lady, where's my guard?"

Hong Tao shook his head and said:
"The boat sank, and about half of the people died. The lady on the flower boat drowned. The mermaids in the river are even more difficult to deal with."

"I'm afraid you're not the only one being attacked. We need to act quickly."

Huo Wenxuan's face was gloomy, and he immediately said:

"Ahem, Brother Hong, just give your orders."

Hong Tao nodded and said:
"Lord Long Cheng just sent us a message asking us to use lightning to monitor all water bodies."

"Now, we're going to go fry the fish!"

"We can't let any mermaid escape."

Huo Wenxuan gritted his teeth and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Hong. As long as I'm not dead, I can continue."

……

Chu Wujiang sat in the Chu Mansion, constantly thinking about the countermeasures against the mermaids, and shouted them out loudly through his vital energy.

“All water bodies must be tested.”

"Martial artists who possess water-based and lightning-based skills should search all water bodies."

"Their elementalization will be released when stimulated."

Marquis Jingping, Marquis Zhenhai and others received the information and responded one after another:
"Yes, Sir Commander."

Chu Wujiang takes over the post of commander of Longzhou and has to take responsibility to fight against the mermaids.

This time, the merman broke through the Holy Emperor's formation and carried out the assassination plan, causing great chaos in the entire Dragon City.

Chu Wujiang could only capture all the existing mermaids and execute them first, and then consider gathering everyone to discuss ways to deal with the mermaids.

As soon as he finished giving the order, he saw a hint of hesitation on Baili Jin's face:
"Baili Jin, just say whatever you want to say."

"I won't blame you."

Baili Jin quickly replied:
"My Lord, don't you think the behavior of these mermaids is strange?"

"If they want to assassinate the Marquis, they should use all their strength."

"Looking at their current situation, they are just creating chaos in Dragon City."

"If you want to create chaos, wouldn't it be better to wait until the war starts and block the rear?"

Chu Wujiang took a quick look at Baili Jin and nodded.
"Yes, you have a point."

"The leader of the mermaids, Haiyuan, is a man of high character and noble character, a great hero of his generation."

"He must have a reason for wasting his troops and launching a deliberate attack like this."

"It's just that I didn't figure out the problem at the moment."

If Chu Wujiang was in charge, there shouldn't be many hybrid mermen like this, and they should be used as surprise troops.

Now Haiyuan specially sent people to attack Chu Wujiang.

This behavior is simply unbelievable.

If he wanted to kill Chu Wujiang, he would at least have to come in person and cooperate with the Water Spirit Pearl, or send out four or five Yuanling realm masters to hunt him directly. Only then would there be some hope.

Just send two mermaids at the fifth level of Yuandan, who are you looking down on?

Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment:
"Perhaps it is to disrupt Longzhou's layout."

"We don't know how many hybrids he has, so we must heavily guard Dragon City, which will put even more pressure on the coastal defense forces."

Longzhou cannot fight on two fronts, so it must at least retain its troops and protect its families.

Otherwise, the enemy would send out surprise troops to massacre all the family members of Longcheng, and the soldiers would easily collapse.

With Guan Yu's ability to command troops, once Jiangling was lost, his family members would fall into the hands of Eastern Wu and his army would also be defeated.

Anyway, there is nothing to talk about between mermaids and humans. If both sides have the chance to fight, they will never consider any bottom line with you.

The mermaids were more like a warning, a tactical harassment, trying their best to delay the troops deployed by Longzhou on the front line.

The hybrid's sneak attack was just the appetizer.

Only when the fog drifts over and the suppression of the Holy Emperor's formation is lifted, will the mermaid army truly deploy, and the decisive battle between the two sides will break out at that time.

From this we can see that the mermaids already have some very outstanding tactical experts.

In the early days, mermaids could only mindlessly pile up troops and were then pushed into the sea by humans. Now they know how to launch surprise attacks from the rear.

Baili Jin couldn't help but admire:

"My Lord is indeed wise."

"I never thought of this possibility."

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"No need to flatter me. I don't understand the enemy's true actions."

"Tell me your guess, and I'll give you credit."

Baili Jin said quickly:
"I just have a guess."

"Could the real target of the mermaid be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died in Dragon City to divide the relationship between the Marquis and the East Sea Palace."

not good!

Upon hearing this, Chu Wujiang hurriedly shouted:
"Everyone, follow me to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Although he doesn't like Di Guangzhu, he must not die in his own territory.
