c1557: 827: Night Assassination (2)

Under the night sky, the river was murky, and the fleet continued forward.

Mo Hua sat at the bow of the ship, pointing the direction.

And at the bow, a silver line swam freely in the water, it was the Little Silver Fish.

It happily led the way for Mo Hua.

However, no one else could see it.

After crossing the wide river area, they reached the natural marsh “Maze,” where the waterways narrowed, mud accumulated, making it difficult for the ships to advance.

Xia Canonical Official ordered all the ships to connect stern to bow, forming a long snake-like line, proceeding through the “Maze” so they wouldn’t get lost or stuck in the mud.

After an unknown period, they arrived in front of the island.

Mo Hua looked up, the moon cool and wind high, the night deep, the small island remained as quiet as that day, silently lurking in the Mistwater River, like a dormant beast.

Xia Canonical Official waved her hand, “Conceal.”

All Spirit Boats trembled slightly, emitting a faint humming sound; a light veil rose, covering the ship bodies, concealing them.

Mo Hua was taken aback at the sight.

Concealment Spirit Boat!

These more than thirty ships are actually Spirit Boats with concealment capabilities!

Concealment Spiritual Artifacts are expensive, not to mention for such large-sized Spirit Boats.

The Xia family surely has deep pockets.

Mo Hua silently sighed to himself.

Once all the ships were concealed, they hid among the water grasses surrounding the small island.

Xia Canonical Official gathered some leading Enforcement Leaders, then informed them of the more detailed encirclement plan:

“This is the Formation Diagram of the small island, created by…”

Xia Canonical Official glanced at Mo Hua, said quietly, “…a highly skilled Formation Master, who personally examined and designed it…”

“On the Formation Diagram, the layout of the island’s formations is drawn, with the positions of the Eight Trigrams Eight Gates marked…”

“At approximately 10 p.m., we will take action. At this time, the water bandits will go out to plunder, the village gates open wide, and we will intercept them halfway as they leave, first killing a batch, then breaking open the gates and storming inside.”

“Once inside, it becomes crucial.”

“The gate used by the water bandits to exit the village is the Kan Gate. If the plan goes smoothly, then our time to crash through the Kan Gate would be 1 p.m.”

“After 1 p.m., once we rush onto the island, the water bandits will surely activate the formation, then, about every hour, the eight gates within the formation will rotate once.”
