Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?
Chapter 198 - 182

Chapter 198: 182

When Li Xuan arrived at the canal mouth with two hundred shrimp soldiers and carb generals borrowed from the Dragon King, his older brother Li Yan was completely stunned.

"Fuck, Li Xuan, how do you have such thick skin?"

Those ’Shrimp Soldiers’ following behind Li Xuan, each one was fifty meters long, with claws the size of an off-road vehicle, and bodies comparable to the size of a bus.

The twenty ’Crab Generals’ were even larger, reminding people of the ’Caterpillar 797’ giant trucks commonly seen in modern mines. All of them were heavily armored, their pair of crab claws were like huge hammers, seeming incredibly ferocious.

— This clearly was the most elite force of the Yangzhou Dragon Palace. All members had cultivation at the Fourth-Floor Territory, and their fighting strength in water was enough to stand against several camps of naval soldiers.

"I also felt puzzled." Li Xuan recalled the situation in the Dragon Palace, he was confused: "I said I wanted to borrow two hundred elite soldiers from him, and the Dragon King gave me his royal army.

I mentioned that the upcoming battle at Beigu Mountain might require the Dragon King to lend a hand. He said that as the Dragon King, even though he couldn’t directly intervene in human affairs, as long as Lin Ziyang massively utilizes wind secret techniques, he would claim that Lin Ziyang disturbed the climate of Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, and help us to suppress the wind force."

"Did he really say that?" Li Yan was even more surprised: "Could this Dragon King of Yangzhou have been replaced? That lazy, lascivious guy who spends twelve out of twelve hours a day rolling in the sheets, with a very peculiar taste, anything goes, and shows no gender bias. Last time I went, I saw him rolling with an old mole that has gained spirituality, even kicked me out.

This time he is actually willing to put away his dragon’s penis and personally join the battle? This is strange! Honestly, if you could bring his tortoise minister to lending a hand, I would be surprised."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Li Xuan also found it strange, he carefully recollected the words of the Dragon King of Yangzhou and the tortoise minister, but still, he was in the dark.

"It seems to be related to that imprisoned Dragon King of Poyang? He said I have the scent of that Dragon King of Poyang, and he said she is about to appear."

"How is that possible? The seal is secure, haven’t you gone in and looked?"

Li Yan scoffed, then stroked his chin thoughtfully: "He couldn’t have taken a fancy to you, could he? After thinking it over, the only possibility is that you are more handsome than me. This world that values looks really makes a person feel hopeless."

Li Xuan immediately shivered when he thought of the time he left the Dragon Palace. The Dragon King had been holding his hand all the time, his expression was extraordinarily affectionate and he personally walked him out.

His face immediately turned pale and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Then he looked at the dozens of ships behind Li Yan and the many naval soldiers on the ships: "Is there hope?"

The plan they had set was to first use the eight hundred men of the Zhenjiang navy, together with the two hundred Dragon Palace soldiers, to attack Tieweng City. Later, Shi Shishi, Li Yan’s close friend and the ’Dantu Guard Commander’, would, under the pretext of training, lead his troops into Beigu Mountain.

This would effectively prevent any future problems. But the challenge is, can an army of a thousand men break the ’Tieweng City’ fortified by two thousand elite soldiers?

"Originally we only had a 50% chance, but now ——"

Looking at the shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind Li Xuan, Li Yan said, "There should be no surprises. Lin Ziyang is now gathering his troops in Dantu City, he would never expect us to be so audacious. As long as he is not stationed on Beigu Mountain, Tieweng City is ours!"

"And what about the Abbot of Ganlu Temple?" Li Xuan glanced at the back hill on the riverside of Beigu Mountain again.

This was something that also worried him. Ganlu Temple was also a large temple in Jiangnan. The temple had three hundred monk soldiers and, due to its dangerous location, was also a point to consider in this battle. The abbot himself was a high monk in the ninth house level.

"That abbot is quite cunning. He said that as long as we ’confirm’ that Lin Ziyang is planning a rebellion, they at Ganlu Temple will naturally lend us a hand. Leave him be, he isn’t about to become a thief. He should know that once Lin Ziyang gains power, he will target the abundant supplies in Ganlu Temple."

Li Yan’s voice paused. His eyes turned cold as he looked towards the west: "The night is long and dreams are many, the people are already amassed, let’s begin now!"

※※※※

That same night, the boatmen who were regularly entering and exiting the canal mouth, and the laborers unloading cargo at Ganlu Port pier, witnessed a scene that left them dumbfounded.

A total of one hundred and eighty giant lobsters, the same size as a ship, and twenty even larger crabs suddenly emerged from the water, quickly climbing up Beigu Mountain. Behind them, twenty large ships rushed ashore. The eight hundred naval soldiers who jumped down from the ship followed swiftly.

The two thousand elite soldiers inside Tieweng City had already assembled and waited for Lin Ziyang’s command. The commanding general of Tieweng City was a stalwart, robust, middle-aged military commander, according to Li Yan. However, when the shrimp soldiers rushed up to the city wall under the cover of Xue Yunrou’s technique, the elite commanders in the city were caught off guard. In a few breaths, Tieweng City’s defense had been breached.

— If it weren’t for the fact that they needed this city wall to defend against Lin Ziyang’s army, those crab generals would probably have smashed the city wall to pieces in a few pincers.

As the old naval troops under Li Yan trotted up the city wall using the backs of a few lobsters, this battle ended in less than two hours, the whole process was as quick as a flash, too fast to even blink an eye.
