Chapter 208 The Fortress
"Silence!"
"It's you, who told you to speak first."
Chen Dao's brows furrowed as he addressed the man who had spoken first.
Upon hearing this, the man immediately scrambled to Chen Dao's feet, respectfully saying, "Thank you, my lord, thank you!"
"Get out of the way, I'll deal with these trash after!"
Chen Dao kicked him aside with a cold voice.
Being kicked was still far better than dying, so the man immediately got up and stood to the side, not daring to speak again.
And Chen Dao, once more began his slaughter.
The remaining bandits quickly perished at Chen Dao's hands, leaving nothing but bodies and blood on the ground.
Chen Dao's methods were undeniably brutal, as every punch and kick was a killing blow.
With his half-step Battle King strength, these bandits without any martial cultivation were no match for him; a single punch or kick from him could easily claim their lives.
After dealing with all the bandits on the beach, Chen Dao turned and spoke to Ye Ling on the deck, "My lord, the bandits have been cleansed, shall we now head to the stronghold of the Wo Country samurai?"
Ye Ling nodded slightly and then leapt down from the deck.
Unlike Chen Dao, whose jump from the deck was mighty and grand, Ye Ling seemed more like a falling leaf, gently touching down on the sand without stirring any dust.
If a powerful person were here, they would surely recognize at a glance that Ye Ling's strength was far superior to Chen Dao's.
A grand entrance did not necessarily indicate greater strength, and in fact, landing as lightly as Ye Ling was a testament to the utmost control over one's own power.
Only a true master could achieve what Ye Ling had done.
"Let's go, to the samurai stronghold in Wo Country!"
Chen Dao slapped the man on his body and said coldly.
The man also came back to his senses immediately, nodding and bowing as he led Chen Dao and Ye Ling deeper into the island.
As for the soldiers of the East Sea Army, they all remained on the warship.
They would mostly be facing Wo Country samurai, who were likely martial artists. Although they were soldiers of the East Sea Army, they were still ordinary people who wouldn't be much help even if they went.
Under the lead of the bandit, Ye Ling and Chen Dao quickly passed through places that looked like bandit bases and arrived at a forest.
"Lords, those people from Wo Country usually stay deep in this forest and seldom show themselves."
"Their stronghold is inside, but I'm not clear on its exact location."
A few minutes later, as they walked through the forest, they finally saw something other than trees.
It was a fortress-like structure, entirely made of metal.
Above the structure were several dark gun barrels pointing in all directions.
The pitch-black gun barrels made it clear that anyone attempting to approach the building would definitely be greeted with a barrage of gunfire.
"These Wo Country samurai have actually built a fortress here?!"
Seeing the fortress, Chen Dao's eyes twitched, and he said in disbelief.
But Ye Ling had an indifferent expression and lightly said, "What's so strange about that? The people of Wo Country have never ceased to covet the Dragon Country; establishing a fortress here is only to be expected."
"What can mere gunfire do against us?"
Chen Dao nodded at his words and followed Ye Ling straight toward the fortress.
Before they had taken a few steps, however, the gun barrels on the fortress suddenly all aimed at Ye Ling and Chen Dao.
The dark gun barrels glinted with a faint light, as if flames could burst out of them at any moment.
"Who goes there!"
A shout exploded from within the fortress.
Chen Dao's eyebrows raised, and he said coldly, "The ones coming to take your lives!"
"Your Wo Country's Sky Wolf Island in the East Sea has been utterly annihilated, and today we've come here to settle the score with you invaders of the Dragon Country!"
As soon as these words came out, there was no more sound from the fortress, it fell into complete silence.
However, Ye Ling showed no hesitation, bent down, and picked up a few pebbles from the ground.
Then the pebbles, no larger than a thumb, shot out from Ye Ling's hand, heading straight for the fortress!
"Bang!"
The pebbles seemed to carry terrifying destructive power in Ye Ling's hands, instantly piercing through the metal fortress and rushing inside.
"Ah!"
A scream followed immediately afterwards.
Ye Ling's actions were uninterrupted; pebbles kept shooting out from his fingertips.
Like a storm of bullets, they continually struck the fortress, punching holes into it.
Scream after scream arose continuously from within the fortress.
