Chapter 704-Can Only Forcefully Attack

Under the pitch black sky, Wang Feng led 250 Divine Martial Guards and 1 thousand frogmen into the Wulin Fortress. They went straight toward the King.
The arrangement of the fortress had earlier been investigated by the frogmen.
The entire assassination army was like a bunch of fish, drifting at the bottom of the river, no one noticing and without a sound.
The moment they got close, they immediately followed what they practiced and spread out, surrounding the King. 100 of them went around the King to collect the underwater breathing devices and get ready to leave.
"Go!"
Wang Feng made an attacking signal like that of a chain to spread to the entire army.
The hand signal was taught in the special operations base. Hence, the Divine Martial Guards and the Guards Legion soldiers all understood it.
The frogmen who joined in all had similar hand signal training.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
The Divine Martial Guards threw out the flying claws and grabbed onto the sides of the deck. They were like monkeys, climbing up the warship using the ropes.
The entire process flowed like water.
After they went up, they once again placed down a rope ladder to help the frogmen climb up.
"Go!"
Wang Feng did another hand signal.
The Divine Martial Guards pulled out the god arm crossbows on their backs, arming it and disappearing on the deck in a fighting formation.
After a short while, the patrolling soldiers appeared in the view of the Divine Martial Guards.
"Attack!"
Pu! Pu! Pu!
The crossbows fired, the sharp arrows splitting the air.
Each one of them was marksmen, and their control of the weapons had reached at an unmissable level. Even in the night, with only the torch lighting, they were still accurate.
In just a short two minutes, the patrolling soldiers on the first floor fell without any resistance, without even making a sound.
Just like that, they proceeded up floor by floor like ghosts, reaping the lives of the enemy.
The way they fought was like special operations forces in real life. The first step of their mission was to remove the nails of these patrolling squads.
On the other side, 50 men were left to chisel the boats while the frogmen had all gotten up. Along with them were hundreds of barrels of alchemical fire oil.
"Quick, faster!"
The officer said softly and started to command the troops.
The frogmen immediately became an ant army and transported the barrels to various corners of the warship. Flipping the barrels over, letting the oil flow onto the deck.
The placement of the oil was all precisely calculated. The moment it ignited, the entire warship would turn into an ocean of fire. At that time, even the frogmen would not be able to survive.
Hence, this was a failsafe, the last resort.
After placing the oil, the frogmen did not stop and immediately spread out. They followed the plan and entered each cabin to kill the soldiers.
Huge amounts of soldiers were killed in their sleep, sad to the maximum. Some woke up but were swiftly killed, giving out muffled cries.
Blood red started to corrode the pitch black night.
Some of the frogmen went to assist the Divine Martial Guards. After all, they were limited in numbers and clearing the top deck was not going to be easy.
There were some hidden at the dark corners to get ready to light the oil. Those in charge were basically kamikaze warriors.
The last were in charge of being sentries to prevent any enemy reinforcements.
……
The night was deeper and deeper.
The pitch black darkness was like an invisible smoke, choking and hard to breathe.
Even the wind had stopped, everywhere was totally silent.
On the top deck of King, the Divine Martial Guards had already gathered up.
Just at this moment, the moon that was hiding in the clouds suddenly revealed itself. The gentle moonlight shone down and lit up the bodies of the Divine Martial Guards.
Their armor was covered in blood.
Not every assassination attempt was smooth. If they hid in the wrong place or the person had survived the first round of attacks, the Divine Martial Guard would need to go all out.
They needed to quickly kill the enemies without making too much noise. The best way was naturally close combat. With that, it was unavoidable to be splattered with blood and even have deaths.
The killing intent on their bodies had gathered and formed, making one terrified if they looked at them.
At the current moment, everything went smoothly and there were no accidents.
However, Wang Feng's face did not show a single hint of happiness. He knew that what would happen next was the greatest test to them. What they had faced was just the appetizer.
Intel showed that the reading room and sleeping quarters of Xiong Ba was at the top level. Hence, the defense here was the strictest and they had three layers of defenses.
The outermost layer was still the navy patrolling squad with close to a hundred of them; the middle was Xiong Ba's guards, around 200 who were well-equipped and good at fighting.
The deepest layer was his Personal Guards with a hundred of them.
For the Divine Martial Guards to break through, it was as tough as ascending the heavens.
Luckily, they did not fight alone. 10 minutes later, 300 elite frogmen rushed over.
"General!"
The frogmen captain came over to report.
"Let’s go!"
Wang Feng was just so decisive; the moment they arrived, he ordered the start of the fight.
500 people sneakily surrounded the patrolling squad; the god arm crossbows fired once more.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
The outermost layer of troops became like porcupines in an instance.
When Wang Feng saw this scene, he let out a sigh of relief. One must know that they were less than 100 meters away from the guards, if they were a little louder, the guards would hear it.
At that time, the situation would get out of hand.
Suddenly, an accident happened!
A patrolling member walked out from behind the cabin. Looking at the situation, this person should have temporarily left the squad to attend nature's call.
"I'm back!"
The moment he walked out, he saw his brothers lying in blood.
"Murder!"
The moment he shouted, a sharp arrow pierced his throat as he fell right away.
The Divine Martial Guards thought they had finished their battle and were resting when he appeared. Who knew that there was a fish that missed the net?
The cry broke the silence of the night.
Wang Feng's face instantly became ugly.
Such a loud shout stunned the guards in the middle.
"Who?"
"Go take a look; what's the situation?"
"Keep your guard up!"
……
"Prepare for battle!"
The guards in charge of defending were elites and did not panic. They arranged people to take a look while forming a battle formation and reporting the matter.
With that, they did not give the Divine Martial Guards any chance.
On the deck, corpses laid in blood, appearing really white under the shine of the moonlight. At the same time, the Divine Martial Guards who were lying in wait appeared in the field of vision of the guards.
"Who are you?" The guards had grabbed onto the weapons in their hands.
"Charge!"
Seeing the situation, Wang Feng knew that could only forcefully attack.
Wang Feng immediately recognized that the enemy totally did not think about getting answers and just asked to drag time.
"Kill!"
An assassination attempt became a head on sword-on-sword blade-on-blade battle.
……
"There are assassins!"
At the current moment, the Personal Guards had gotten the news and woken up the entire top deck.
"What happened?"
Xiong Ba walked out of the door, like Ouyang Shuo, even as he slept, he would remain alert. The chaos outside had stunned him.
The worry before he slept became a nightmare while he slept. In his dreams, Xiong Ba saw the entire stronghold become an ocean of fire.
"Lord, there are assassins!" The Personal Guards Captain reported.
"Assassins, what assassins?" Xiong Ba did not react right away, “Were they sent by other Lords?"
Xiong Ba could not understand; this fortress was like a barracks, so why would there be an assassin? Was there still a spy amongst them?
The current Xiong Ba panicked.
If it truly was the spy jumping out, Xiong Ba would instead be happy. He did not believe that there would be anyone who could assassinate him in this fortress.
"Lord, the enemy is a proper force." The captain's face was solemn, “I just got news that the entire flagship had fallen."
"What, the situation has reached such a stage?" Xiong Ba was astonished.
"Lord, let's retreat!" The captain was anxious.
"Retreat? No, let me think about it." Xiong Ba was still Xiong Ba; he was not an easily scared fellow. "Damn it, could it be Qiyue Wuyi! How did they sneak in?"
The players in China did not know about underwater breathing devices.
"Sound the alarm, they truly are bold!" Xiong Ba was an arrogant person. Since the enemy dared to enter his land, he was going to make sure they did not return.
"Qiyue Wuyi, I did not think you would use such a despicable method." Xiong Ba calmed down; like he had won a battle, he grinned.
As expected from an ambitious person, he thought differently from others.
……
The rumbling war drums exploded in the water fortress, breaking the silent night.
The sleeping fortress immediately woke up. The sleeping beast slowly opened its eyes and revealed its fangs, a terrifying sight.
