Volume 5: The Gathering of Storms Chapter 291 Handsome Man
ah……
With a loud shout from Huo Anu, the enemy holding the fishing net was thrown into the air, knocking over the gunman and several other pirates in the air.
Seeing this, Ani immediately stepped forward and swung her sword, cutting the fishing net covering Huo Anu.
Run!
The pirates are coming...
At this moment, the beach, the pier, and the market were in chaos. People were running, but many were hacked to death by the pirates...
"What's going on, Anucheh!" Huo Anu cursed and asked Xu Zun, "Sir, where did these pirates come from?"
"Yeah," Ani waved her sword to block Xu Zun, "They don't look like people from Daxuan. Are they all from the East China Sea Japanese?"
As he was speaking, several pirates who had just fallen to the ground quickly got up and wanted to attack again.
Upon seeing this, Huo Anu and Ani immediately flew forward. The two girls showed no mercy anymore, waving their umbrellas and flashing their swords. In just a moment, they killed several pirates!
"Anu," Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "where is Zhao Yu?"
"Let's go after Wang Shuncai!" Huo Anu pointed in a direction and said loudly, "Wang Shuncai is very skilled in martial arts and is not easy to deal with!"
Xu Zun looked in the direction Huo Anu pointed, but he could only see a chaotic crowd in the distance and could not see Zhao Yu at all.
"We can't worry about that for now," Xu Zun pointed in the direction of the dock, "Hurry, we must hurry to the navy dock now. I suspect these people are coming for our warships!"
"Ah?" Huo Anu was shocked. "Warship? This is..."
Before Huo Anu could finish his words, he heard a deafening shout of killing behind him. He turned around and saw a large number of pirates swarming onto the beach like ants.
"So many..." Ani was stunned. "How many of them are here?"
"quick!"
Xu Zun also realized that the enemy was powerful, so he quickly took Huo Anu and the other two and ran towards the interior of the water city, intending to bypass the water city and then rush to the navy dock.
Yongming City was indeed a coastal defense naval port, and a city wall was built on the sea side of the water city to defend against the enemy.
However, there has been no war along the coast of Daxuan for decades, so the city walls are still there, but there are no guards, which is basically the same as if they didn't exist.
These pirates were obviously well prepared. They did not just rob money and women. After rushing into the water city, they immediately rushed in all directions, as if they were going to occupy the entire city.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zun had a hundred question marks in his mind. The number of enemies was too large, and it was obvious that they were not an ordinary group of pirates.
But...don't they know how serious the consequences will be by doing this?
The Daxuan Dynasty has vast territory and abundant resources. Since its founding, it has never regarded the Ten Kingdoms of the East China Sea as any threat.
They are going to attack Daxuan now, isn't this courting their own destruction?
Even though they have a chance to occupy Yongming City now, what will happen after that? Once the Daxuan reinforcements arrive, what will they have left to survive?
Besides, Yongming City is not something that can be taken just like that. There are garrisons stationed in the city...
Perhaps because the pirates had already rushed into the city and were afraid of hurting their own people, the ships in the distance no longer launched fireball attacks.
However, the number of pirates was indeed too shocking. When Xu Zun and his companions bypassed the inner wall of the water city, they found that the road leading to the navy dock had been completely blocked by a large number of pirates!
At this moment, a flare arrow was lit on the dock in the distance. It rose into the air and exploded, illuminating the sky red.
But the signal arrows were fired from a warship that was about to go out to sea. It was obvious that it was a distress signal sent by the soldiers guarding the warship.
really……
Xu Zun was now even more certain that the pirates' target was the warship.
"Sir," Ani looked at the dark mass of pirates and asked, "What should we do? The road to the north is blocked!"
"What are you afraid of!" Huo Anu was fearless, "Let's just charge forward!"
"No!" Xu Zun shook his head. "Even if we can rush over, I'm afraid we can't save the boat. We can only retreat back to Yongming County Office first!"
"Sir," Huo Anu pointed at the pirates rushing towards him and said, "What can we do even if we return to the county government? There are not many soldiers in the county government."
"Yes," Ani said, "If it really doesn't work, why don't we run away along the beach and leave this dangerous place first?"
Tsk tsk…
Xu Zun smacked his lips, never expecting that things would turn out like this in an instant.
In desperation, he could only agree to Ani's proposal and temporarily retreat to the south where there were fewer enemies.
To the south is a coastal path lined with shacks where local fishermen live.
Unexpectedly, the enemy came so quickly that when Xu Zun and others were retreating along the road, they found that a group of pirates had already rushed into the shack.
These pirates are truly inhumane. They kill men wantonly, and tear off women's clothes and drag them into the streets to brutalize them...
Seeing this, Huo Anu and Ani immediately flew forward and started fighting with them.
The two girls were full of murderous intent and killed several pirates at the first move.
Wow…
Soon, they attracted the attention of other pirates, and they all rushed here.
They mumbled something incomprehensible, but when they saw how beautiful Huo Anu and Ani were, their eyes naturally lit up with excitement!
Swish…
The man in front pretended to attack, while the two pirates behind picked up the fishing net and prepared for a sneak attack.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two men raised their arms, a folding fan flew out from somewhere!
The folding fan spun rapidly, and after a flash of cold light, the two men found that their throats were cut by something, and blood gushed out.
“Wow!”
Immediately followed by a loud shout, a silver spear stabbed out from the group of pirates, and with several streams of blood spurting out instantly, several pirates died instantly.
The silver spear seemed to have eyes, and it stabbed several pirates in succession with its agility.
A pirate behind him saw that the situation was not good and immediately raised his musket.
But before he could aim, the mysterious folding fan appeared again, and with a swish, it cut the musket in half!
As a result, before the pirate holding the gun could react, the sharp silver spear had already pierced his chest!
As the silver spear was pulled out, Xu Zun saw the person wielding the silver spear was a middle-aged man in his forties.
The man was wearing a white robe, with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, and looked very heroic.
Swish…
The fan spun in the air and landed in the hands of a woman in pink.
The woman in pink has a slim figure and is dressed seductively. Not only does she wear heavy makeup, but there is also a striking cobra carved on her slender neck!
From the way these two people are dressed, it can be seen that they should be people from the martial arts world with special skills.
Most likely they just happened to encounter a pirate invasion and that's why they offered their help.
At the same time, Huo Anu and Ani cut the Gordian knot and killed all the pirates in front of them.
"Wow..." As a result, when the two met, the man was stunned by Ani and couldn't help but exclaimed, "She's so pretty! Oh," she saw Huo Anu and exclaimed even more, "She's from a foreign country? A foreign girl?"
"Anuqie!" Huo Anu didn't care whether it was an enemy or a friend, and immediately cursed Xiyu Street.
"The one wearing a hat at the back," the man blinked and guessed, "wouldn't she be prettier?"
"Fool!" What was even more unexpected was that the woman holding the iron fan came to Xu Zun after muttering angrily, and looked him up and said, "Don't you see that there is a handsome man here?"
"..." Smelling the alluring fragrance of the woman, Xu Zun was speechless...
…
