Rong Hu’s expression darkened.

Luo Deng had earlier suspected their attackers may be pirates, but he certainly did not consider that they would be the infamous Dan Lin pirates. However, if Rong Hu is right about their identity, then the chance that Zi Yan has met with misfortune is high.

But at this moment, their situation is already hanging by a thin thread. Informing Duke Ming about his concerns would only add more to his worries. The most important thing right now is to look for an opportunity for Duke Ming to get out from this perilous predicament.

FM: “Rong Hu, it’s possible that Zi Yan is already…”

LY: “Young Master, what predicament are we in right now? Do you think it is the best time to be worrying about matters that are unrelated and not as important?”

Luo Yun interrupted Feng Ming mid-sentence with his cold and ruthless words. Despite being younger than Feng Ming yet he has seen much more death than him. So, when it comes to the matter of life and death, Luo Yun was much more calm and prepared.

“Young Lord!” Luo Deng, who had been holding in his breath while observing the events, suddenly called out.

‘Young Lord, come quick! The enemy’s main ship is starting to move!”

Turning to look in the direction Luo Deng pointed at, sure enough the sinister enemy ship was slowly moving. On board, a figure could be seen waving the ship’s banner towards their other ships as a silent command. Even though they couldn’t understand what the command meant, they could see all the other ships slowly make their way towards the main ship, creating a formation.

Luo Deng, who has experience as a fleet captain, began making a prediction based on the movements of the ships.

“The enemy seems to be abandoning their assault on us.”

FM: “What?”

The expression on Feng Ming’s face changed to one of disbelief from hearing Luo Deng’s words.

We are already near being defeated, and the disparity between our strength and theirs is great. Wiping us out completely wouldn’t be a problem for them if they wanted to, so why would they all of sudden stop their assault on us now?

Five of their ships had been utterly damaged by the pirates. The Xiao Family’s men all had similar suspicions that the enemy’s retreat was just a trick in their calculated strategy. The enemy ships that were currently retreating were still within attacking distance. Everyone was on alert looking out for a sudden attack towards them.

Appearance wise, the other side really seemed to be retreating, but during the whole process, both sides continued to be vigilant.

However, if the pirate’s leader truly gave the command to withdraw, the Xiao Family, who was on the side of near defeat, was not stupid enough to stir up any further conflict.

At this very moment, both sides were in the middle of a strangely quiet and deadly situation. Just a few moments ago, they were killing and fighting each other to the point where blood would flow down the ship and mix with the water in the river. But now, unexpectedly, they are simply passing each other on the river without any fighting.

Feng Ming gripped his sword and quietly held in his breath as he looked on at the unbelievable scene occurring before his eyes.

Eventually, the two enemy fleets separated from one another with each fleet on a different side. 

Suddenly, Rong Hu said, “Duke Ming it seems like their main ship is heading in our direction.”

Everyone looked in the direction of the enemy. The ship heading towards them was most likely where the mastermind of the attack was, along with the enemy’s most powerful fighting force.

The Xiao Family’s main ship was certainly large, but by now, two enemy ships had already crashed into it and the guardrail had been completely destroyed. The ship’s sail had been burnt down by the flame arrows that were shot by the pirates, and the bottom of the ship was continuously flooded by the water. At this rate, the boat could sink at any given time.

In contrast, the enemy ship had not participated in the battle and was completely undamaged. As it approached, those of the Xiao Family felt a sense of oppression that was hard to describe.
