Chapter 934: Rebellious, the Eldest Prince of the Central Empire
As soon as the small boat that Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu were in moved away, the Eldest Prince issued a killing order, and the martial gods who were hiding under the water emerged from the water in an instant.
*Poof* As soon as he took action, he killed the people guarding the ship.
"You, you…" The bandits were in a mess. The bandit leader looked at the Eldest Prince with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe that this was true.
“Your, your… …" The bandit leader wanted to ask the Eldest Prince why. But the next second, the eldest prince's knife was inserted into his body.
"Your Highness…" The bandit leader looked at the Eldest Prince with wide eyes, filled with sadness.
Is this the Eldest Prince of the Central Empire?
Did he think too naively before?
Thinking that he could earn the Eldest Prince's trust with loyalty.
The Eldest Prince took advantage of the opportunity of the attack and leaned forward: "No vital points are hurt. Jump down and someone will come to help you. They will smash all the boats and take the gold away."
He was the Eldest Prince of the Central Empire. He must eliminate the bandits, but he will not sacrifice his loyal men. Even if he knows that it is better to kill them than let them go at this time, he does not want to kill them.
It was easy to kill people, but it was not easy to cultivate a group of subordinates who were loyal to you.
The bandit leader's eyes lit up, and his dim eyes became bright again. Without any hesitation, the moment the Eldest Prince drew the knife, the bandit leader jumped into the water, dragging his wounds and swimming desperately in the sea.
“Smash all the boats and take the gold away.” The bandit leader fell into the sea and did not forget to inform the people on the boat.
“Plop, plop…” The martial gods and dead warriors pretending to be bandits jumped into the sea. The martial gods of the Central Empire would not let them run away and chased after them.
At the level of martial gods, although there will be restrictions in the sea, they cannot stay for long like ordinary people. They can survive for half an hour even if they sink to the bottom of the water.
As both sides fell into the water one after another, the battlefield changed from the boat to the bottom of the water. The bandits were all good players in the water. The martial gods of the Central Empire were not easy to deal with in the water. Some people were eager to fight and wanted to kill one or two martial gods, but a word from their companions reminded them: "Smash the ship and leave. The Central Empire's reinforcements are about to arrive."
Although they were all highly skilled in martial arts, their numbers were too small, and they would lose against the Central Empire's army.
The martial gods among the bandits entangled the martial gods of the Central Empire, while the others went to smash the ships. They all had weapons on them, and they smashed all the ships in a few strokes, leaving only a small boat dragging the ship containing gold.
“You take the gold and go first.” The five martial gods among the bandits stayed behind to hold off the martial gods of the Central Empire, while the others climbed onto the boat.
The martial gods of the Central Empire naturally refused to give in, but the strength of both sides was evenly matched. It was very difficult for the martial gods of the Central Empire to stop the bandits.
After a melee, the bandits caused numerous casualties and even killed a martial god. However, the martial gods of the Central Empire didn't stop chasing the bandits' ship.
“Catch up!” All the surrounding boats sank to the bottom of the water, but for the martial gods, a wooden plank was enough for them to walk on the sea, but…
When they were chasing after them using the plank, a figure suddenly appeared from the bottom of the water and injured them, including the eldest prince, with lightning, and blocked their way.
The person was dressed in a fishing suit. They could not see his appearance or even his body shape because the opponent was moving so fast that people became speechless. By the time they reacted, the person had already run away.
"Your Highness…" Each of the martial gods of the Central Empire fell into the water one after another, all with injuries on their bodies. They looked at the boat getting further away and couldn't make up their minds for a moment.
"Wait for the black-armored guards to come with their troops." The Eldest Prince looked ahead with a deep look and ordered with a cold face.
The martial gods of the Central Empire looked at their injuries and said nothing. They floated on the water holding wooden blocks one by one, waiting for the black-armored guards to arrive in their warships.
The lightning-like figure seemed to have appeared just to kill them. It suddenly appeared and suddenly disappeared. If it weren't for the injuries on their body, the martial gods of the Central Empire would have thought they were dreaming.
The black-armored guard was driving a warship, which was very fast. They arrived at the sea area in just two-quarters of an hour. From a distance, they saw the Eldest Prince and his party lying on the sea in embarrassment. They quickly stepped forward and pulled the Eldest Prince and the rest into the boat.
"Your Highness, what's going on?" The black-armored guard asked nervously when he saw that the Eldest Prince and the martial gods of the Central Empire were all injured.
The Eldest Prince had a cold face and did not speak. A martial god wearing blue-robed behind him sighed: "Suddenly, a master who is a supreme martial god appeared and blocked our way, allowing the bandits to escape."
Had it not been for the sudden appearance of that master, they would have caught up with the bandits.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" The black-armored guard looked solemn after hearing this.
The supreme martial god was different from the martial gods. The Black Armored Guard can deal with the martial god, but cannot do anything to the supreme martial god.
“Chase after them! This prince doesn’t believe we can’t catch them!” The Eldest Prince had a dark face, looking very angry.
The martial gods of the Central Empire beside him all lowered their heads and dared not speak.
It was normal for the Eldest Prince to be angry. Seeing that they were about to catch the bandits and take the gold back, but encountered a supreme martial god and blocked their way, it was embarrassing to think about it.
The black-armored guards were ordered to trace the whereabouts of the bandits at full speed. The black-armored guards drove a warship. The bandits only drove a small boat and dragged a boatload of gold. Their speed would naturally be slow. With their fast speed, the black-armored guards should be able to catch up with the bandit, but after chasing him on the sea for an hour, they didn't see any sign of the bandit.
"Your Highness, we can't go any further. It's too dark to see clearly." The bandits were very smart and made an appointment in the afternoon, so the sky turned dark soon.
Once it gets dark, the dark sea surface is like the mouth of a beast. It was very unsafe to travel on the sea at this time.
“Rest where we are and continue searching tomorrow.” The Eldest Prince did not chase after the bandits but also didn't give up pursuing them.
"Yes." When the black-armored guard heard the order, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They were an ace team on land, but their strength at sea was average, only slightly better than ordinary naval forces.
In half an hour, one hundred thousand naval forces found the Black Armored Warships and joined them. Naturally, the Third Prince, the Seventh Prince, Xiao Tianyao, and Lin Chujiu also came.
"Brother." After tidying himself, the Third prince looked much more energetic, but his eyes were very gloomy. Especially the way he looked at the Eldest Prince, which was even more unkind.
The Eldest Prince seemed to have not seen it. He nodded and looked at the Seventh Prince next to the Third Prince. Seeing his silence, the guilty Eldest Prince stepped forward and touched his head: "Xiao Qi, what's wrong?"
The Seventh Prince did not avoid him and allowed the Eldest Prince to touch him. However, he didn't try to get close to the Eldest Prince. He said distantly but politely: "I am fine, please don't worry, eldest brother."
"I am not worried. Look at you grow up now. Don't worry, Xiao Qi. I will catch those bandits and avenge you." The Eldest Prince was not close to the Seventh Prince before, but he had indeed cheated the Seventh Prince in this matter. The Eldest Prince felt guilty and wanted to treat the Seventh Prince better.
But he doesn’t know that in the eyes of others, he truly cares for his younger brother. At least it is better than those who say they love their younger brother but only care about themselves at the critical moment…
