Chapter 498: Capturing the King

At this moment, Princess Shuiyue had already landed on the shore. She didn’t care that she was soaking wet. She asked the soldiers for a cloak and wrapped it around her body to cover the parts that were more visible. She picked up a knife next to the corpse on the ground, pointed at the warship of the Black Cloud Kingdom and shouted, "Who is the Grand Commander? Why are you attacking my country for no reason?"

The Grand Commander was in his thirties and looked strong. He stood at the bow and laughed loudly, "How dare a tiny place with tens of thousands of people call itself a country? Besides, you broke your promise first. I will bring some people to teach you a lesson." The Grand Commander didn't dare to say anything too definite because he was afraid of the big ship that didn't understand the situation.

Princess Shuiyue said angrily, "What is breaking your promise? My ship encountered a shipwreck and half of the crew died. Fortunately, I was saved by Engong and was able to survive. If I died, would it be considered breaking my promise?"

Everyone knew that the Black Cloud Kingdom coveted Baiqian Island, but for the sake of face, one found a reason to fight, and the other found a reason not to fight. It was a literal game.

The Grand Commander sneered, "You can say whatever you want, I only look at the facts."

"Okay, you just want me to marry you, and the soldiers of both armies will be witnesses. I will marry you now. Do you dare to marry me?"

The Grand Commander was stunned. Is this possible? It was so hard to lead the troops to fight back, but how come everything happened?

Fang Jian shook his head slightly. This woman is really smart. The enemy army is approaching, and she knows that she can't fight brute force, not to mention that she may not win, so she sacrificed herself to save the people. She had already held such a mentality when she agreed to marry. Now the situation is urgent, it's just a rehash of the old things.

Zhang Pa thought further. The Black Cloud Country has hundreds of people to attack the island? The White Thousand Country has only three hundred guards? Why does it feel wrong to look at it this way? He released his spiritual sense and found that there was also a war behind the island. There are more people than here, and the battle is much more tragic.

Don't be afraid of quarrels, no matter how fierce the scolding is, no one will die. The battlefield behind is not like this, and people may die at any time. Zhang Pa rushed away and disappeared in the dense forest behind the coast in the blink of an eye.

Some soldiers on Baiqian Island were confused about the situation and shot arrows to intercept them, but the people had already run away and the arrows had not fallen. A group of people were surprised when an explosion sounded behind the island. The two gangs on the sea and the shore were stunned and kept wondering who this guy was helping. Some Baiqian soldiers were worried that their old nest would be destroyed and wanted to run back to fight.

At this time, the man came back again, holding one person in each hand. One was a man in his fifties, naked from the waist up; the other was wearing leather armor and was about forty years old.

Zhang Pa threw the two people on the beach after he came back, sat cross-legged and did not speak.

Princess Shuiyue saw the two people he had captured, rushed over and shouted loudly: "Dad." The soldiers of the Black Cloud Kingdom on the sea also exclaimed: "General?"

The soldiers of the Black Cloud Kingdom were divided into two groups. One group was led by the Grand Commander to attack from the beach, and the other group was led by the General to lead the Death Soldier to climb over the cliff behind the island to attack. Because the death soldiers were brave and fierce, they tied up most of the troops of the Baiqian Kingdom, and even the island owner personally went to the battlefield to fight.

Now the generals of the two armies were captured by Zhang Pa, and the soldiers under them had no time to fight. The leaders were all captured, so what was there to fight about? Except for Princess Shuiyue, no one acted rashly. That guy could easily kidnap the highest generals in front of the two armies, and two of them. What level is this?

The Grand Commander said loudly: "This young man, can you come on board to talk?" He didn't even ask his name and origin, and rescued the general first.

Zhang Pa waved at him: "Come and talk." He also said to the soldiers around who were ready to move: "Don't come over, you will kill people if you come over." He flicked his hand and a silver light shot in front of the fifty-year-old naked man, and a long sword like a pool was half inserted in the sand and swayed slightly.

The soldiers on both sides understood that this guy was either abnormal or very capable, and dared to offend two countries at the same time.

The Grand Commander saw Zhang Pa's performance and thought for a moment. He must not lose face in front of the army anyway. He is the future leader of the Black Cloud Kingdom and a role model for the army. If he is cowardly and dares not step forward, how can he govern the country in the future? Gritting his teeth, he said, "Prepare the boats."

The surrounding deputy generals all knelt down to stop him. The Grand Commander said coldly, "It's nothing more than a life. What are you afraid of? If the general can't be saved, do you and I still have the face to return to the country? Prepare the boats!"

This battle was fought too foolishly. Originally, I thought it was easy to capture, but I didn't expect that there would be an additional variable of fear. It's just a small country with tens of thousands of people. What can it do? Rather than calling it a country, it's more appropriate to call it a tribe. The Black Cloud Country doesn't look down on it at all. Send out three thousand elite soldiers and one thousand dead soldiers to attack, led by two close relatives, just to accumulate military merits for the two.

Now there is no way to accumulate military merits, but you can't let the general die here. The Grand Commander was very upset. If you want to attack, you can attack. Why are you, a prince, running on the battlefield? The general is his uncle, don't save him? Let him die here? Then it doesn't make any difference whether you go back or not. You are timid, irresponsible, and abandon your relatives without saving them. Don't even think about being the king if you go back. It's better to take a chance.

After a long delay, the Grand Admiral finally came to the shore. Zhang Pa shouted: "All soldiers retreat a hundred meters. If anyone violates the rules, they will be killed without mercy!" He picked up a stone the size of a millstone on the beach and smashed it with his right hand. The stone was shattered and shot out.

Zhang Tianfang pouted on the boat and said: "Shame on you. You can only scare people." After laughing at Zhang Pa, he laughed at the soldiers of the two countries: "With just such a small number of people, you still call it fighting? It's boring."

Zhang Tianfang thought it was boring, but the soldiers of both sides did not dare to think so. If you can break stones, won't your head break with a touch? The soldiers of both sides slowly retreated. Zhang Pa was left with the island owner in his fifties, her daughter Princess Shuiyue, and the general and the Grand Admiral.

The Grand Admiral approached his uncle and checked his body. He found no injuries and complained in a low voice: "There are so many soldiers, why did you rush forward?" The general smiled bitterly and said: "No, I was in the warship and was caught by someone. That guy ran very fast on the water." The Grand Admiral heard that he could easily capture the king in the army but didn't catch me? Was he giving me face or looking down on me?

Zhang Pa said: "Let's talk about how to avoid fighting." War is like a child's play in his eyes.

The four giants didn't speak, especially Princess Shuiyue, who was very angry and glared at the general and the Grand Admiral. The Grand Admiral smiled bitterly: "Don't look at it, can't you withdraw the troops?" The island owner snorted coldly: "Come and leave as you like, what do you think my Bai Qian country is?"

Zhang Pa's inner thoughts: "Don't put on airs, you dare to call yourself a country with so few people, alas." Look at the Grand Admiral to listen to what he says. The Grand Commander said, "We've already fought, what else can we do? If you want to keep me, you have to have the ability to do it."

He looked down on the Lord of Bai Qian from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for his daughter Princess Shuiyue being pretty, he wouldn't have come. There are not many beauties on the sea, and it's rare to have a great beauty, so he was willing to give up the benefits of an island and just ask Princess Shuiyue to accompany him.

Fundamentally speaking, the Black Cloud Kingdom wants both territory and women, but Princess Shuiyue has a strong temper. If you want territory, I will fight you to death, or I will give up the territory. You can only choose one of the two. The Lord of Black Cloud considered his descendants and reluctantly chose the beauty to give up the country. Unexpectedly, the beauty disappeared, so he led his troops to take over the country. When the battle was in full swing, the beauty appeared. Isn't this a torment?
