Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1435

Chapter 1435: Chapter 1430: Fight to the Death

The confined Lu Fenglang in the enemy ship’s cabin could imagine, as could the King of Hancheng!

And the general of the Dongyi Kingdom’s navy, Du Yulang, naturally could think the same.

Since a war with Zhou was inevitable, Du Yulang’s plan was to seize this opportunity to first damage part of Zhou’s navy here, making them much easier to deal with in the future.

Both armies had begun exchanging arrows and crossbow bolts. The Dongyi sailors, having more ships and manpower than Zhou’s navy, had already dived into the sea, stealthily swimming towards Zhou’s navy.

Du Yulang shouted loudly, his voice echoing among the giant waves: "General Huaiyi and General Liuhu, I order you both to each lead a unit of the navy. Go around both sides to chase Zhou’s envoy’s ship. You must...sink the ship to ensure that the Seventh Prince has no escape! Kill any gods you encounter! Exterminate any ghosts in your way! If you fail, bring your heads to me!"

"Yes, Commander!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Quickly, the two generals of the Dongyi Kingdom accepted their orders and departed, leading their troops around Zhou’s navy to pursue Zhou’s envoy’s ship.

Du Yulang had already secured himself to the ship’s railing with a rope, using his hands to stabilize himself against the relentless waves. He glanced across at the battleship of Zhou’s navy, where the King of Hancheng stood. He grabbed an archer beside him, pointed towards the King of Hancheng, and ordered: "Shoot for me! Kill their commander and you’ll be the greatest hero!"

But the distance between the two sides was considerable, and with the ships rocking on the sea, aiming was difficult. The archer’s arrow missed, but it served as a warning to Cheng Yuanzhi.

Cheng Yuanzhi pulled down the King of Hancheng swiftly, saying, "King of Hancheng, this is not how battles are fought! You are the commander! You shouldn’t stand in the most dangerous place; go to the back and give orders instead!"

After all, in Cheng Yuanzhi’s eyes, the King of Hancheng was not their Young General Bai. Their Young General Bai had a natural gift for sensing danger on the battlefield, something others couldn’t learn...

"General Cheng!" The King of Hancheng gripped Cheng Yuanzhi’s shoulder, glanced at his companion, then squeezed Cheng Yuanzhi’s shoulder firmly and spoke to him, "Today, Dongyi Kingdom seems to intentionally start a fight with our Zhou! They have strength in numbers, and we have fewer ships and fewer people. I can only try my best to delay them!"

The King of Hancheng placed the gold medal into Cheng Yuanzhi’s hand solemnly: "This was given by His Majesty; take it back for me, General Cheng! If...if I don’t return today! Please take care of my wife for me! Tell His Majesty...King Hancheng Xiao Ruxing failed to fulfill his duty, farewell to His Majesty, and in the next life... I will serve His Majesty again!"

Today, unless they fought to the death, they couldn’t delay the Dongyi Army. Without saying the envoy’s ship of Zhou, even the fishing boats might not be able to return.

The sea stretches endlessly, with no cover. By that time...there would be no one to report the war between Zhou and Dongyi. Zhou would undoubtedly be caught off guard, and the coastal people might not survive! The King of Hancheng couldn’t let that happen!

So today, the King of Hancheng...would fight to the death!

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at the round face of the King of Hancheng, covered in sweat yet with a determined expression, about to shout a rebuke, but the King of Hancheng’s companion knocked Cheng Yuanzhi unconscious.

Usually appearing mild and soft, the King of Hancheng now harnessed the courage once shown in surrendering for his father, willing to sacrifice his life for the coastal people! Willing to sacrifice for Zhou! Willing to sacrifice for...the Emperor he acknowledged, Bai Qingyan!
