“What happened?”

The Crown Prince called the guards in to ask. He had a bad feeling in his heart. The officials sent to pick up Lanting had not returned. Could something have happened?

“Reporting to the Crown Prince, there’s a fire at the dock.”

The guard hurriedly reported. The Crown Prince panicked when he heard this.

“Quickly gather the soldiers and go to the dock.”

The prince of the pirates rushed to the dock with his men. Zhong Yong and the others were on a few small boats. They were lost in the sea when they heard an explosion, and flames shot into the sky on their left.

“It’s my master. My master is there.”

Zhong Yong was seasick. He was lying on the side of the boat and vomiting. When he heard the explosion, he immediately became alert. He pointed at the position of the fire and shouted.

“Quick, speed up.”

After finding the right direction, the small boats sailed towards Japan as fast as they could.

The dock was already in a mess. Su Qing was using binoculars to give instructions. The Japanese soldiers running around were like live targets, and Zhang Jinglin and the others could use them to practice their accuracy.

After a series of explosions, the dock was in a mess. Those who were lucky enough to escape the bombs did not dare to act rashly.

Usually, they were highly vicious when they robbed the fishermen. Now, they were lying on the ground like logs. They were all afraid of death.

Such a huge commotion at the dock would alert the Japanese army. Zhang Jinglin wanted to end the battle quickly and leave after snatching the ship.

However, Su Qing felt that it was not easy for her to come here, so she might as well go all the way to the eastern capital of Japan.

“Empress, this won’t do. It’s too risky.”

Zhang Jinglin was really on tenterhooks following the Empress. She was still pregnant. What if something happened to her?

A dozen people couldn’t take down Japan.

“Let’s try.”

With Su Qing, there was nothing that couldn’t be done. How could he say that she couldn’t do it with mortars? Then what would those who used the axe and sickle to conquer the world think?

Su Qing knew that the Emperor of Japan would not surrender without a fight. Seeing that there were not many capable pirates left at the dock, she raised her binoculars and carefully looked around. As long as the Japanese appeared, she would be the first to see them.

” Xiao Qi, how many more cannonballs do you have?”

The crown prince cried out. This was the legendary great killing weapon, the weapon that he had spent a lot of effort to obtain.

In the end, he tasted the power of a great killing weapon. No matter how high his martial arts were, it was useless. He could not withstand a single blow in front of a great killing weapon.

“Call Hermit over.”

The crown prince’s eyes were red. He ordered his subordinates to find Hermit. If he could not defeat him openly, he would sneak attack and snatch the great killing weapon.

The explosion’s flames burned, illuminating the situation on the crown prince’s side. Su Qing took her binoculars and saw the crown prince’s sneaky movements. She ordered Zhang Jinglin,

“Turn the muzzle forty-five degrees to the left.”

Zhang Jinglin hurriedly turned the cannon and waited for Su Qing’s order.

“Release.”

Su Qing ordered Zhang Jinglin when he saw the crown prince picking up his hat.

Zhang Jinglin hurriedly opened fire. The crown prince seemed to have sensed danger. When he heard the sound of the air being torn apart, he scrambled away. The artillery shell landed behind him, and the gravel on the ground was blown up into the sky and fell with a pitter-patter.

The crown prince touched his forehead, which had a significant bump from the explosion, and glared hatefully toward the dock. He did not dare to come out of his hiding place. He felt a pair of eyes staring at him.

“Put out the torches.”

The crown prince ordered his subordinates but later found it useless to extinguish it. The places where the shells had exploded were on fire, and the flames were much brighter than torches.

He had learned to be innovative. He no longer showed himself, nor did he let his subordinates move around. He scattered and hid in the direction of the dock. He went wherever it was dark, like a rat that advanced in the dark.

However, this was not a problem for Su Qing. She ordered Xiao Qi in the system,

“Activate thermal imaging.”

With thermal imaging on, even if you hid behind the wall, it would be useless.

Xiao Qi heard her master’s order and ran to turn on the thermal imaging. Su Qing saw a group of moving figures surrounding her.

“Ah!”

A scream rang out from behind. The soldier Zhang Jinglin had sent to watch the rear had been killed, but Zhang Jinglin and the others did not see anyone.

Hermit?

These people specialized in assassinations and sneak attacks. They would hide behind the black cloth and quietly approach you. Once they got close, they would kill you. These people’s martial arts were ruthless, and they killed people invisibly. They were tough to deal with.

Su Qing unsheathed her sword and stood in front of the mortar. The wind blew her messy hair, and her cold eyes looked ahead calmly.

A black cloth floated behind her...
