The Eight-Faced Buddha was an ambitious man, and he knew that he would only work under Guangyao for the rest of his life, but joining the Wanxiang Kingdom would be different, and he had plenty of room for advancement, and General Hai had promised to give him an island in the open sea near the Wanxiang Sea, where he could still develop himself.
After the two sides had been drinking and chatting for a while, the eight-faced Buddha rose to rest with a slight sense of inebriation, and the feast ended with pleasant laughter, unaware that they were in great trouble.
By the time Lin Mo approached General Hai’s territory it was already a quarter past three in the morning, the time when people fall asleep the deepest and are the most sleepy.
“Boss, we’ve scouted out the defence system of this area.”
Fei took out the sea map and then marked each of the key areas.
“This area over here is where General Hai’s main troops are stationed, and where they are holding the hostages is five kilometres away on this side of the warehouse.”
After Lin Mo understood the situation, considering that the hostages were likely to be in danger in the event of a firefight later, Lin Mo immediately gave the operational orders.
“Crown Prince, you take Di Yun and the others to the place where the hostages are being held and rescue them first, then send a signal and we will attack from both ends.”
Since Di Yun and the others were deployed to come over naturally they were not meant to watch the show.
Although the prince could not train in martial arts, he had an amazing talent for this kind of hot weapon combat. After he received Lin Mo’s arrangement, he immediately led more than 1,000 men around the back of the island and slowly approached through the night.
As there were no patrol boats in the area where the hostages were being held, the Prince and his men landed easily.
“Ah Fei, we’ll each take a bunch of men and sneak over.
Tong Jun, your sniper team will find a good position and work with us to clear out all the patrol guards.”
“Later, you guys pay attention, make sure to take care of the patrolling guards quietly, never let them send out an alarm signal, understand?”
The Crown Prince understood that Lin Mo’s purpose of this arrangement was to let him lead this group of children who were first exposed to large battlefields, and only after all the members of the Featherwood Guards had nodded their heads to indicate that they understood, did the Crown Prince wave his hand and start moving.
Under the cover of the night, the Prince’s side split into two pairs of men and horses, paddling their kayaks silently closer.
It was also the first time that Di Yun had come across this type of combat. If he made a single mistake and gave the enemy a chance to transmit a signal, the whole battle would collapse because of him.
So it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. As Di Yun watched the guards approaching, his breathing became heavier.
After noticing his difference, the prince turned his head and gently patted him on the shoulder, then nodded with an encouraging look towards the children behind him, waiting for them to take a few deep breaths before the prince extended three fingers.
With a clench of his fist, Di Yun’s ambling body sprang up, bringing a dozen of his companions behind him in a rapid dash. Several members of the opposing patrol had just noticed the abnormality and were about to raise their guns but unfortunately it was already too late, and after Di Yun got close to one of the patrolmen, he reached out and squeezed his hand and the other man died directly on the spot.
When he turned his head to observe the situation of his companions, he was relieved that he had not made a mistake and 16 guards had died silently.
The prince was satisfied with the performance of the guards, they were swift and decisive, although they were a little younger, they had a good base, all they lacked was a little experience.
After disposing of the corpses of the guards, the prince led his party onwards, and after following the previous formula of tackling the first four or five waves of patrols in succession, the group finally approached the centre of the camp.
The Prince looked at the five-metre high wooden wall in front of him and frowned slightly.
