175: One Two Five: Gui Qinshao’s Dead End!
Annihilation!_2 175: One Two Five: Gui Qinshao’s Dead End!
Annihilation!_2 The people on the island, who had already been filled with despair, were bravely waiting for death to come, only to find that their lord, Suo Lun, had returned at this moment, and he had brought a powerful army to save them.
“Charge, block the enemy forces,” commanded Suo Mu, the family samurai, as he led a hundred family warriors to rush towards the sea with great speed.
Meanwhile, Ye Jingyu was dragging Suo Ningbing as they sprinted away from the shore at the fastest speed possible, avoiding capture by the Gui Clan forces and preventing any disadvantage to Suo Lun.
“Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish…”
The third, fourth, and fifth volleys of arrows from Duke Zhi Ting’s army ferociously pummeled down from behind.
As they shot their arrows, the fleet drew closer.
Finally, during the sixth volley of fire arrows, they hit the Gui Clan Fleet.
Screams of agony immediately filled the Gui Family Naval Forces.
At the same time, Suo’s family warriors dived into the sea, reaching under the ships of the Gui Family Naval Forces, desperately digging and piercing.
“Return fire, return fire…” commanded Gui Qinzhong loudly.
Immediately, the Gui Family Naval Forces hurriedly bent their bows and prepared their arrows to counter-attack against Duke Zhi Ting’s fleet.
But, unluckily for them, they were positioned downwind, so while the enemy could hit them, they couldn’t strike back.
“Stop the ships,” ordered the cunning Suo Lun.
Instantly, the naval forces of Duke Zhi Ting stopped rowing and even began to row in reverse, bringing the fleet to a halt as quickly as possible.
This maintained a distance of several hundred meters between the two fleets, one downwind and the other upwind.
As a result, the Gui Clan’s Naval Forces faced complete tragedy, utterly passive under fire.
“Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish…” volley after volley of arrows rained down from Duke Zhi Ting’s forces.
Despite the hit rate not being high, even a mere ten percent success rate was terrifying in its consequences.
Since these were fire arrows raining down, soon the Gui Clan’s ships were ablaze.
Moreover, the Suo warriors hiding under the water were fiercely digging into the hulls, blocking the enemy ships from reaching land.
Immediately, the Gui Clan Fleet found themselves unable to move forward or retreat, chaotically squeezed together in the sea.
“Into the water, into the water, kill those thieves who are digging at our ships,” roared Gui Qinzhong in rage.
So, the Gui Clan’s warriors dived into the water, fighting fiercely with Suo’s warriors in the sea.
Meanwhile, the archers of the Gui Family Naval Forces desperately fired back at Zhi Ting’s fleet.
However, all their efforts were in vain; they were downwind, completely out of range.
The fire arrows shot from the enemy ships kept hitting them, igniting their vessels with roaring flames.
At this moment, Gui Qinzhong deeply regretted his underestimation and rash decision to lead the naval forces to Chaos Stone Island for vengeance.
Without even deploying scouts, they hadn’t noticed the enemy’s approach within a thousand meters in the dark, leading to this hopeless situation.
His father, Gui Xingfu, had repeatedly warned him not to underestimate Suo Lun, who was very cunning and sinister – warnings he had not taken seriously.
Now, he tasted the bitter consequences of his actions.
As the volleys of fire arrows grew denser, Gui Qinzhong watched in despair as the fleet was engulfed in flames and his soldiers fell into the water like dumplings.
At this time, Gui Qinshao, with her stunningly pale face, showed eyes shimmering with unwillingness and infinite regret.
Today, it seemed the Gui Family Naval Forces would be doomed by her hands.
If her brother had not acted rashly out of vengeance for her, this would not have happened.
“Little sister, run,” suddenly bellowed Gui Qinzhong.
“It does not matter if I fall into the enemy’s hands, but if you do, Suo Lun…
the consequences are unimaginable.”
Gui Qinshao said, “If we go, we go together.”
“No, I am the commander of the Gui Family Naval Forces; I shall live and die with my brothers.
I cannot abandon them and flee,” said Gui Qinzhong.
Ming, follow me,” Gui Qinshao said, casting a deep glance at her brother.
Then, she plunged into the sea with a slender figure closely following her.
Gui Qinshao was not fleeing but stealthily swimming towards Chaos Stone Island amidst the chaos; she was determined to capture Suo Ningbing.
Because Suo Ningbing was the person Suo Lun cared about most.
Capturing her as a hostage could press for their lives, giving her and her brother Gui Qinzhong a glimmer of hope.
In such chaotic circumstances, no one noticed Gui Qinshao’s figure; she led a skilled family expert, rapidly chasing in the direction Suo Ningbing had gone.
At sea, the Gui Clan’s fleet was nearly entirely swallowed by the flames.
Immediately, the Zhi Ting Fleet fiercely pounced, and from their high vantage, they shot down at the thrashing Gui Family Naval Forces in the sea.
Suddenly, the sounds of arrows piercing flesh and the death cries before dying were incessant, and the sea was almost completely dyed red with blood.
The naval forces that Gui Xingfu had established at great expense were being slaughtered madly, like the sun melting snow.
Unable to cope, Gui Qinzhong shouted, “We surrender, we surrender…”
But Duke Zhi Ting’s forces seemed deaf to his cries, continuing their relentless attack.
Their intention was clear: to take the opportunity to wipe out the Suo Family Naval Forces completely, ensuring they would no longer threaten Chaos Stone Island.
Upon seeing this, Gui Qinzhong’s eyes threatened to split with rage as he bellowed, “Despicable, shameless, Suo Lun the thief, kill me, kill me!”
Then, he rushed toward the command ship, intent on killing Suo Lun.
Yet before Gui Qinzhong could get close, countless fine, sharp poison needles shot from the darkness, and he instantly felt numb, collapsing to the ground.
The next second, he was pinned down, kneeling.
