Chapter 1648 Emergency Departure
This attack was unexpected, but reasonable.
After all, we knew from the beginning that Anxiangtang would not let Tang Lianyu go, and would jump out from any place we could think of and attack.
Everyone really didn't expect that the people of Anxiangtang could actually cross the wide river by diving and secretly climb onto the big ship sailing in the middle of the river.
It was dark, the weather was cold, and the current was fast. Fishermen who claimed to be good at swimming didn't dare to go into the water casually. If they tried to cling to the side of the boat at this time, they would probably freeze to death.
So we really didn't expect Anxiangtang to attack at this time.
But not expecting a sneak attack at any time doesn't mean that the defense is relaxed.
Yang Yiyi got up early just to change shifts with the previous wave of guards. Since there were quite a lot of people in the Sixteen Villages and Tianjue Palace, everyone on the boat took turns on duty in four shifts, and there was always someone watching.
The killers of Anxiangtang came in through the window, which was really scary, but because there were guards, these guys were beaten up as soon as they entered the cabin.
Coupled with Yang Yiyi's shout, everyone on the ship was awakened. Many assassins of Anxiang Hall were surrounded and beaten by the crew, the heroes of the Sixteen Villages, and the masters of Tianjue Palace before they could draw their swords. They were all killed without even seeing Tang Lianyu's room.
Compared with the previous assassinations, this assassination was too rough, or too reckless.
The various branches of Anxiang Hall would not communicate with each other casually. Chu Yue had no idea what the first three branch leaders had encountered. He just found out that Tang Lianyu was on the ship, so he led a group of people here.
It feels like this guy was not only cut off, but his brain should not be complete...
Yeah, he is indeed a eunuch.
Or he once wanted to be a eunuch.
Ning Xianer said that Chu Yue's family was poor when he was a child. As the youngest in the family, he was sent to the palace to be a eunuch.
But after all the cuttings were done, the palace said they would not accept him...
Later, he could no longer afford to support himself at home, so he packed his bags and went out to make a living. He learned a lot of skills from somewhere and has been working as a killer for the Anxiang Hall.
Of course, these are all rumors in the martial arts world. Chu Yue himself is probably the only one who knows whether it is true or not. Maybe he wanted to change from a man to a woman and cut himself.
It's just that this LGBT warrior doesn't seem to have a good brain, but it seems to be a standard operation.
The person didn't die. After Ning Xian'er confirmed that Yang Yiyi was not injured, she dealt with Chu Yue, such as abolishing his martial arts.
Then she stuffed him into the bottom of the cabin and interrogated him when she had time.
Don't speak?
Once you are in the hands of the Tianjue Palace, you can't do it.

Li Chengxi saw that the matter on Yang Yiyi's side was settled, and the only thing left was to clean up the battlefield. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he said a few words to Yang Yiyi and then prepared to go back to the room to sleep.
Li Chengxi's biggest weakness is that he is not good at staying up late. He really can't survive without refreshing drinks, and it is very uncomfortable to stay up all night.
Aoerdai and the others were still rubbing the dust off their bodies in the bathroom. Li Chengxi told Viola that he went back to the room and just touched the pillow with his head. He was almost in a coma and fell into a sweet dream.
However, although Li Chengxi fell asleep, something else happened.
For example, Alyssa.
As soon as the Swan entered the port, a large group of maintenance personnel rushed up and used a crane to refill the ammunition of the Swan's mine dispenser.
And there was a group of people who relied on the microgravity environment to fly directly above the Swan, holding a special spray gun in their hands to repaint the Swan.
This was the part that was hit and damaged in the previous battle, but the dock had not been free, so it started to repaint it now.
Alyssa asked the crew to go back to sleep. The frequency of the next attack should be getting higher and higher. After all, they are now very close to the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic, and the reconnaissance fleets of both sides will run into each other from time to time.
After sending the supply work order to the maintenance personnel, Alyssa leaned back in her chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go back to your room and sleep. You'll catch a cold if you sleep here."
Long pushed Alyssa, who groaned and was a little reluctant.
To be honest, she didn't really want to go back to her room to sleep. She would be more relaxed in the captain's seat.
"Someone has to be on duty in the bridge. I'll stay here."
Long couldn't persuade Alyssa, and thought about finding her a blanket later, but at this moment, a quick reminder sounded on the communication station.
Alyssa opened her eyes almost immediately, and she immediately saw through the glass of the Swan's bridge that the red light inside the dock outside began to flash, indicating an alarm.
She sat up quickly and answered the communication.
This was not a real-time communication, but an emergency notice.
Alyssa took a look and immediately turned on the ship's broadcast:
"This is Captain Alyssa, all crew members stop resting and take your positions, we need to leave the port urgently!"
I'm afraid that many people have just touched their pillows, and they have to get up and return to their work immediately after hearing this broadcast, which is somewhat torturous.
But there is no way, it's an emergency.
Long, who hadn't left yet, hurriedly sat back in the position of weapons officer and turned around to ask:
"What happened?"
"The reconnaissance fleet discovered that the main force of the enemy is approaching us, which may be the prelude to a large-scale fleet battle."
The fleet of the Red Maple Republic has been gathering with the capital as the center during this period, but apart from the gathering, there has been no major movement.
This also allowed the Rotating Water Federation to advance steadily step by step to a position very close to the capital of the Red Maple Republic.
Of course, this closeness does not mean that we can attack the capital in one or two months. It can only be said that the war has reached this point and it is indeed close to a decisive battle.
At this time, the Red Maple Republic's fleet approached, probably out of the idea of defending the enemy from outside, just like the Rotating Water Federation intercepted the Red Maple Republic fleet approaching the capital halfway.
But no matter what, the other party's fleet is coming, and we have to attack.
After casually replying to Long, Alyssa hurriedly communicated with the maintenance personnel:
"How long will it take to complete the supply? What? An hour? There is no such free time. You only have ten minutes. Fill the ammunition of the mine dispenser first. We need to set off as soon as possible."
Although the enemy is still far away from us, we can't wait for them to drive to our faces before taking action, otherwise it will be too late.
So the maintenance personnel were severely stressed.
However, this is also normal. The pressure on the personnel responsible for logistics maintenance is no less than that of the crew members working hard on the front line. There is endless work to do every day.
Alyssa originally wanted to replenish some anti-aircraft gun ammunition, but she saw that there was still about half of the stock, which should be enough.
Then forget about it, and the priority is to leave the port as soon as possible.
Ten minutes is the time for the crew to return to their work stations from their respective dormitories. When the time is up, Alyssa immediately applies to the tower to leave the port and then starts the engine.
The Swan, which had just entered the port, was once again equipped for battle.
