The alarm was sounded and thousands of torches were lit; these lights were like the stars in the night sky, illuminating the water fortress like it was day time.

"What happened?"

Awoken by the ear piercing alarm, the soldiers who had climbed out of their beds questioned one another.

"It's the alarm from the flagship!"

"I heard there are assassins!"

"Assassins? Who is so bold, do they want to die?"

"Damn, disturbing my dream, I'll kill them!"

"That's right, waking me up at midnight, I just want to rest!"

The soldiers who were woken up were furious.

"Stop making noise and gather on deck!" The leading officer started to organize the troops.

The warships around King had started to move toward it to assist. Being provoked in their own territory was not something that they could take.

After holding it in for so many days, it was time for them to let it all out.

"Let's vent it all out on these assassins!" The soldiers were filled with killing intent.

A killing aura gathered in the sky.

At the same time, in an unassuming corner, gazes were focused in their direction. Not only was the King City Navy housed here, there were two other Lords.

"Interesting!" The Lord exclaimed.

Naturally, they would not go join in the fun and quietly watched on. Till date, no one thought that the enemy would be able to succeed.

It was simply too impossible.

……

On the top level of King, swords and bows clashed, and the atmosphere had reached its most nerve wrecking state.

"General, the enemy fortress has been awakened, what should we do?" The officer asked Wang Feng.

"Wang Feng did not panic; determination flashed across his eyes, “Gather all the frogmen. After we gather, immediately start the fire!"

"Understood!" A similar determination flashed across the face of the soldier.

The result of setting the fire was something they were all clear about, but they viewed death as a return home.

"Let the frogmen chiseling the boats immediately act, do not let the target run!" Wang Feng added.

"Do not worry general! The instructions have been passed down!"

"Then let's fight!"

Wang Feng threw down the god arm crossbow and pulled out his spear.

"Kill!"

Immediately, the Divine Martial Guards tangled with the enemy guards.

The two elite forces went neck and neck. In comparison, the 300 frogmen were weak; after all, they were sailors and not good at close combat.

Along with the alarm sounding, the King was similarly awakened. The soldiers on board who were not killed yet donned their armor and charged out of their cabins.

Even the sailors took up weapons to join the fray.

Each deck, each corridor, each room had fights going on. The shine of the blades cast fluttering shadows on the walls; like the river of fate, no one was sure what would happen.

The counterattack of the King caused the frogmen in charge of clearing the cabins to suffer heavy losses.

The order to gather toward the top deck was given and the frogmen had to go all out. On the contrary, some navy soldiers had broken through the defenses.

The frogmen forces naturally did not want that to happen.

They had sworn to the Monarch before they left to not return unless they complete the mission.

Both sides fought to the death to try to gain control of the passage to the top deck. The small corridor changed hands multiple times in just twenty minutes and was stacked with corpses.

The fresh blood seeped into the deck, dripping into the level below, making it like a living hell.

Just at that moment, the frogmen in charge of being sentries rushed over, managing to stabilize the situation, they did some simple constructions at the mouth of the passage to block the attacks.

Anyways, they had the numbers advantage on the top deck, so the longer they dragged it on the better it was for them.

The King City Navy obviously knew that and they attacked more crazily.

The good news for them was that the reinforcements had already swiftly jumped onboard. The moment the reinforcements swarmed over, this entire mission would end in failure for the assassins.

The battle on the top deck was crucial.

As expected from the strongest army in China, even the strong King City Guards were not their opponents. Along with the help of the frogmen, they were forced back.

Seeing that they were weaker than the enemy, the guards decided to give up the deck and return to the cabin. They used the passageways and cabins to fight a special alley war.

One had to say that their decision was wise.

The narrow passageways made it hard for the numerical advantage to be used. The 300 frogmen were all the more useless and could only help save the wounded.

It entered a stalemate just like that.

Just at this moment, Xiong Ba brought the Personal Guards from the end of the alley over. Just as he arrived at the front lines, he recognized the red cape of the Divine Martial Guards; after all, they were simply too eye catching.

"Qiyue Wuyi, it really is you!"

Xiong Ba's expression was really weird; he was shocked, relaxed, and solemn.

Originally, he thought that the enemy forces would not pass hundred. Who knew that the intel would cause his mouth to gape.

Xiong Ba totally could not imagine how the enemy sent two thousand men into the fortress without any sounds.

At this moment, Xiong Ba broke out in cold sweat.

If it was not for the patrolling soldier's accident, he probably would have been killed in his sleep.

If that was the case, his face would be totally lost.

The difficulty of the situation gave Xiong Ba no choice but to personally fight. If this dragged on the guards might fall. If the reinforcements did not arrive in time, it was over.

Xiong Ba was fearless, raising his machete and killing into the crowd. The close to two meter ;ong machete shone a cold light as it cut down, and the head of a Divine Martial Guard fell to the ground.

"Great!"

This move by Xiong Ba raised the morale of his troops.

The head tumbled onto the ground and rolled, stopping under Wang Feng's feet.

When Wang Feng saw that, his eyes turned blood red as he raised his spear and engaged Xiong Ba. Before leaving, everyone had seen the portraits of Xiong Ba and Zhan Lang.

Hence, Wang Feng immediately recognized that the person in front of him was his target.

"You came at the right time."

Wang Feng's will to fight was triggered as his blood boiled.

The two experts engaged in the narrow corridor, going at each other.

The soldiers on both sides did not remain still; they each chose an opponent and fought. The only exception was a lieutenant from the Divine Martial Guards who sneaked away.

The deck that was originally so bustling was now really cold.

The lieutenant went to the passage to go to the deck below and check out the battle situation. The frogmen forces and the King City navy were fighting. Further away, more and more reinforcements were rushing over.

The situation was urgent, and it looked like the frogmen were not going to be able to hold on.

A look of determination flashed in his eyes as he took out a signal bullet and fired it without hesitation.

Peng!

It was like fireworks as it streaked across the night sky.

At the same time, 20 frogmen who were hiding at various corner of King looked up at the fireworks. It made a perfect arc in the air before disappearing.

The frogmen looked back down, carefully taking out a match; their expressions were really solemn and sincere, like they were doing a holy matter.

The match was struck and thrown into the alchemical fire oil. All of a sudden, the flames burst apart like a fire dragon that had suddenly come alive on the deck.

In the light from the flames, the frogmen took out the Tang Blades from their waists as they muttered, “Brothers, I am making a move first."

As they spoke, their blades cut across their necks and blood spurted out. 20 unnamed heroes fell like that in an unassuming little corner.

"Not good, the flagship is on fire!"

"Extinguish t!"

"Ah, save me!"

"Damn it, where did this fire come from?"

"Extinguish it first!"

The King was in a total mess and the soldiers who came to assist were charging into a sea of flames.

Further away, seeing the flagship on fire, the entire water fortress was thrown into chaos. Even the Lords who were watching the show from the corner felt astonished.

"What happened? Why is it on fire?"

"Looking at the fire, it probably will not be extinguished in time!" a general said.

"What are you standing here for, help to extinguish it!" The Lord was a little angry.

If Xiong Ba truly died like this, it would be terrible. What else could they do? Who could deal with Shanhai City?

"Yes!"

The general hurried away!

……

On the top deck, the merciless killing was still underway.

At the current moment, Xiong Ba still had not realized that his flagship was in flames. Only until smoke bellowed through the cracks on the deck did it spread to the top layer.

"What's happening?" The guards panicked.

Before they finished their words, the fire started to spread upward.

"Not good, it's a fire!" The first to react were the Personal Guards; they charged to the front to protect Xiong Ba and help him escape.

The direction of the escape was the deep parts of the passageway.

"Where are you going?!"

Wang Feng hollered as he immediately chased.

Looking at the situation, there definitely was a secret exit.

Hence, no matter what, Wang Feng could not allow the enemy to escape from under his nose.

"Protect the Lord!"

At the crucial moment, the guards and Personal Guards acted fearlessly and blocked the way to earn some precious time for the escape.
