218 Assassination
May 15th, great Shang state Beihai Harbor
...Today, the weather at Beihai port was very good. The flags of the entire Beihai port were fluttering in the air. The jubilant citizens were waving the National flags of the great Shang and the Navy. They gathered at the docks on both sides of the shipyard and the shore opposite the dock. Each and every one of them was waiting with their heads raised, ready to witness the great Shang’s latest generation of battleships and the crown prince’s glory.
In the shipyard’s dry dock, the great Shang’s latest generation of battleships were hung full of colored flags and ribbons, just like a soldier about to go to war, quietly waiting for the moment to enter the water.
Around the dock, influential people gathered. On the grandstand, most of them were Navy generals and officers of the great Shang kingdom who were wearing white navy uniforms.
In addition to the Navy generals and officers, the shipyards ‘people-in-charge, worker representatives, local officials and gentlemen of Beihai, steel plant representatives, various Research Institute heads, and many big shots from Shangjing were gathered here.
Only by sitting on both sides of the grandstand could one truly feel the immense pressure that the great Shang’s latest generation of warships brought.
With a displacement of 19800 tons, the weight of the armor alone was 5600 tons, 528 feet in length and 77 feet in width. The huge cannons on the warship were like a steel forest that covered the entire body of the warship. It made the warship parked in the dock look like a mountain, full of oppression.
The rising sun cast a huge shadow on the Northwest side of the dock, which covered the edge of the grandstand. Those sitting on the grandstand and nearby had to raise their heads and necks to see the magnificent figure of the warship.
Right behind the edge of the grandstand, being isolated by a row of Navy sailors in ceremonial robes and holding rifles, were the place where the attendants of those big figures stayed.
Yan duo was among a group of attendants and followers. He raised his head and looked at the huge battleship.
The current Yan duo no longer had a head full of white hair. Instead, he had a short and neat black hair and a little beard. He was completely different from before. Yan duo was wearing black clothes, a hat, and a short sword at his waist. He was handsome, cool, and charming.
Yan duo slightly pouted and squinted his eyes as he looked at the huge battleship. He muttered in his heart. It seemed that the great Shang Empire’s technological development level was not bad. They could even build a battleship of this scale.
That’s right, as long as the firepower was strong enough, not many bodies could withstand the power of the cannons.
Of course, there were Summoners who could resist the cannon, but even if they had such an ability, few Summoners were willing to use their divine power to compete with the consumption of gunpowder.
Moreover, it was said that there were also Summoners on these warships of the Navy.
By the way, he wondered if Xia ping ‘an, Jiang duo’ er, and the others had also met with an accident during the spatial teleportation and were teleported to another place.
Xia Pingan probably didn’t expect that he would be able to reach the one sun realm in such a short time. This time, he should have finally surpassed that pervert. If they met again, he should be able to see the surprise on his face.
As he thought about it, Yan duo’s thoughts couldn’t help but drift and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Brother, who did you come with?”
A slightly chubby middle-aged man was sitting next to Yan duo. That middle-aged man nudged Yan duo with his arm and asked in a low voice.
The middle-aged man’s words pulled Yan duo’s thoughts back to the scene.
cough, cough. I’m count Lin Qing’s driver and bodyguard, Zhenzhen. Yan duo turned his head.
“Count Lin Qing, the beautiful widow Jian Jia who owns several docks and a fleet in the North Sea and occupies the trade route with Medicine King Island.” The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and then looked at Yan duo enviously. He winked and said in a tone that all men understood,”hehe, brother, you’re so lucky, Jian Jia.”
Yan duo shrugged his shoulders and looked at the grandstand in the distance.
At a prominent position on the grandstand, a beautiful woman in her thirties wearing a blue dress, white gloves, and a lady’s hat turned around and met Yan duo’s eyes.
The woman smiled affectionately and Yan duo returned the smile. He even raised his eyebrows, pouted his lips, and blew a kiss.
The woman’s face slightly blushed.
Sigh, for earth, for humanity, I can only sacrifice myself. Do I have it easy?
Yan duo was almost touched by his own “spirit of sacrifice.”
the crown prince’s airship is here! someone suddenly said.
After that, they all fixated onto an airship in the sky almost at the same time.
It was a beautiful silver-white airship, which was flying over from the North, attracting the attention of thousands of people.
At the sight of that airship, many people on both sides of the dock and the opposite bank cheered up as they waved their flags desperately. After a short while, the airship had landed in an open land near the dry dock.
A large group of people gathered around.
Yan duo and the others were here and didn’t have the right to go over. They could only watch as the airship’s hatch opened. Then, a man in a gorgeous suit walked out of the airship and waved to the surrounding people.
The Crown Prince of the great Shang, Beitang Wangchuan, alighted from the airship. He was followed by a group of guards and an old man in a black robe.
After Beitang Wangchuan said a few words to the people who welcomed him, he came to the observation platform on the side of the dry dock. As the military band began to play, the launching ceremony of the warship officially began.
The commander of the great Shang’s Northsea fleet hosted the ceremony.
Beitang Wangchuan gave a short and inspiring speech. After that, he lit incense and used the incense in his hands to light a string of ceremonial cannons hanging on the bow of the warship.
In the rumbling gun salutes, the colorful egg at the head of the battleship exploded, spraying colorful ribbons and sweet liquor over the sky. Closely after that, the huge battleship which weighed tens of thousands of tons rushed into the sea from the dock along the sliding rail, arousing a huge wave in the sea. Snow-white spatters rose dozens of meters high, causing dense mist.
The crowd burst into warm applause and cheers.
The ribbons that filled the sky fell from the sky one after another. Many of them fell directly beside Beitang Wangchuan, but all of a sudden, the thousands of ribbons turned into blades.
At such a close distance, thousands of blades were as fast as lightning. They came from all directions like a storm, cutting towards Beitang Wangchuan.
This time, he was caught off guard.
The huge waves caused by the warship were ten times more violent.
The sea water boiled, and the waves suddenly became dozens of meters high, turning into huge waves. The huge waves immediately pressed down the battleship weighing tens of thousands of tons and slapped towards the shore. Two glittering 100-meter-long Dragons flew out of the waves and splashes at the same time. They opened their mouths and tried to swallow Beitang Wangchuan.
F * ck!
Yan duo was stunned.
There was actually someone here to assassinate Beitang Wangchuan, and with such a terrifying move.
