Chapter 515: Demon Hunters! (III)
The Guard moved as one when they deployed—nearly one thousand of them. The newly rescued water supernatural had been delighted because there was no need to be afraid of pirates when there were one thousand Silver Moon Guards present. But... how many were here?
The Guard was a secret to most people, but rather familiar to merchants who sailed the seas. The Silver Moon Guard was known throughout the sea.
“General, are you... are you part of the Silver Moon Guard?”
“Yes, we are the Demon Hunters troop of the Guard!” Li Hao answered affirmatively. “Are you certain that it was the White Shark Raiders?”
“Yes... Did... Did you not leave with Director Hou?”
“Correct, we are the defending force remaining behind.” Li Hao frowned into the distance. He’d simply wanted to encounter some small groups of pirates, but here they were, grappling with one of the eight major factions—the White Shark Raiders. There were six hundred supernaturals to contend with and one of their leaders... This was troublesome.
“How many of you... are there?”
“As many as you see.”
“We’re doomed!” yelped the water supernatural. “Hurry, run, flee! Notify Southern Ford and request reinforcements! The city is doomed, I suspect they’re here for revenge! The Silver Moon Guard defeated one of their three commanders two years ago and made their reputation known far and wide. The pirates of the seas showed them some face after that and did not make trouble in Silver Moon. Now that the White Shark Raiders have appeared here, they must want to take revenge while the Guards have left! FOlloow newest stories at
“We won’t have enough time if we drag our feet! Those guys have no humanity in them and there will be rivers of blood in the streets if they enter Southern Ford...”
This was all there was to the Guards?? The supernatural’s joy immediately melted away, leaving only horror and resignation. They should run! Six hundred supernaturals was ten times what was present on this ship!
“How strong are they?” Li Hao asked after momentary thought.
“What?”
“I mean, do they have many Solars and Novas?”
“Well...”
“How long will it take them to reach Southern Ford if we run now?”
“They’ll be here within three hours. They’re not that fast and they’re taking their time enjoying themselves. I threw everything I had to escape, so it’s three hours at most or less.”
“Can Southern Ford fully evacuate within three hours?”
“Ah... absolutely not!” The man shook his head as he was well experienced with the world. “But however many can get away is good. For three hours... they can evacuate half of the city if directions are given well. Although there’s only several hundred pirates, they’re all supernatural powerhouses. There are only three thousand city defenders, they won’t hold off the pirates for long even if they all mobilize. Hot weapons will be ineffective when there are supreme powerhouses present...”
“Three hours... six hundred supernaturals...” Li Hao breathed out heavily. “You’re a veteran of the seas, aren’t you?”
“General, I...”
“Answer me!”
“Do you think you’re something just because you’re a supernatural?!”
“......” Immediate outrage boiled over.
“This is Southern Ford! Where does this little savage come from? So what if you’re a supernatural?” someone yelled angrily.
Several supernatural presences materialized in the distance. A troop of supernaturals swiftly appeared and looked alertly at Wang Ming.
“Good, the Night Watchers are here!” yelled a partygoer. “This kid is so arrogant and comes here to act like he’s the boss. Get him!”
The Night Watchers found Wang Ming vaguely familiar, but were also wary of his obvious strength. They hesitated, giving enough time for a Sunflare to approach. Wang Ming couldn’t be bothered to explain himself when the man landed and threw out a medallion.
“Take me to the Night Watcher branch and place this area under heavy guard. I’m going to host an important guest!”
The newcomer was one of the Sunflares in charge of the Southern Ford branch. He blinked at the medallion and looked at Wang Ming. “Is... it... Director Li?”
Li Hao! His promotion had just been made public during the day, but here he was that very night?
“Shut up!” Wang Ming transmitted. “I’m here on a secret mission, so cut the blather. Have people clear the nearby shores and close the port. Say that a young master of the Wangs is entertaining people tonight...”
Wang Ming!
The Sunflare now recognized Wang Ming. Closing the port... this was no small matter. But he didn’t dare say anything.
This was a deputy director’s medallion. Even though Li Hao had just assumed his post, no one dared truly overlook him. He was a powerhouse who’d killed six Solars! The Sunflare swiftly gave his orders and sent his men rushing through the beach.
The sounds of music vanished. Some people were waiting for the arrogant young man to be made a fool of, but they were resigned and dejected when the Night Watchers fanned out to shoo them away. There was nothing to be done but leave swiftly.
So unlucky! It looks like some hotshot really had run here in the middle of the night for a snack. Damn it!
In this day and age, it wasn’t intolerable for highly placed personages to exercise their privilege. The modern day Skystar Dynasty was very tolerant of important people making mistakes. This guy just wanted a late night snack, he wasn’t killing people or setting fires everywhere. As disgruntled as the people might be, they had to stay quiet.
It took a short while before the beaches around the port were silent. Wang Ming finished explaining a few things to the Sunflare—the man’s face went white with horror. The White Shark Raiders! Director Li had brought his modest crew of Silver Moon Guard rookies to fight the pirates! The consequences were unthinkable.
There was only fear and worry on his mind. “Wang Ming... why didn’t you try to make him come to his senses? We can evacuate Southern Ford if it comes to it. How could you let Director Li and the others engage enemies that outnumber them by tenfold??” transmitted the Sunflare.
This was madness! They were just going to their deaths, there was a Nova among the pirates!
“Southern Ford... the losses will be heavy if we evacuate the city,” Wang Ming responded dejectedly. Li Hao’s decision might have something to do with what he’d said. He’d exaggerated slightly and said that the city supported thousands upon thousands of people. His senior brother might have chosen to march into battle because of his words.
It was all his big mouth’s fault! He should not have said so much! If Southern Ford wasn’t as important, then Li Hao may not have taken the risk. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t have risked the rest of his people against six hundred supernaturals. There was a Nova and Solars... it was too dangerous.
Wang Ming felt a bit frantic and regretful. He really needed to watch his tongue in the future! If anything happened as a result of this... it would all be because of his nonsense!
“Let’s hurry to the branch and contact Inspector General Kong...” Wang Ming picked up the pace, unaware that Li Hao had already killed Novas before. Only Liu Long was aware of that.
