Chapter 2966 Chapter 2968 [The army arrives]
?Other people on the boat slashed at Xiang Nan with their swords.
Xiang Nan remained calm and waved his palms continuously. In less than a moment, they had knocked all these people into the water and captured the boat.
“Catch them all and interrogate them one by one to see how tough their mouths are.” Xiang Nan shouted while standing on the boat.
Hearing what he said, many people responded and stepped forward to arrest these Westerners.
?However, except for the three envoys, no one else could understand Chinese, and the heroes did not understand Persian. Therefore, they wanted to interrogate, but they didn''t know where to start.
“Let me do it instead.” When Xiang Nan saw this, he jumped out of the boat, grabbed a congregant, and asked in Persian, “Who are you, where are you from, and why are you here?”
When he was in the world of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", in order to learn the martial arts in the Holy Fire Order, he once learned Persian from a Persian businessman. To this day, I still haven''t forgotten it.
"Kill me, and don''t tell me if you kill me. A pious emir is not afraid of any threats." The man raised his head and said.
When Xiang Nan saw this, he was not polite and stabbed him to death with a sword. Then he asked the next person.
When he killed the seventh person without any mercy, that person finally broke down and told the whole truth.
As Xiang Nan knows, they all came from Persia and passed through the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, Strait of Malacca, and all the way to China.
Their purpose is to co-opt the Middle-earth Ming Cult and make them obey the orders of the Persian Archbishop, while also searching for the long-lost Saint Dai Qisi.
??When the fleet arrived in Quanzhou, they inquired and learned that the Golden Retriever Lion King, the Dharma King of Mingjiao, had appeared on Spirit Snake Island, so they hurriedly sailed over.
??Their idea is to take over the Golden Retriever Lion King first, and then take over the Middle Earth Ming Cult.
They never thought that the Mingjiao of China would be over long ago. Even if there are still remnants of the Ming Cult, after losing the resource support of the headquarters and being suppressed by Yuan Ting, they don''t have much strength left.
In order to successfully recruit them, they specially brought fifteen sailing ships. Each ship not only had a hundred elite soldiers, but also twenty large artillery pieces. If they resist, they must be suppressed by force.
Xiang Nan acted as a simultaneous interpreter and soon told all about the Persian Mingjiao.
?When everyone present heard this, they started to curse.
?The martial arts people in the Central Plains have long hated Mingjiao, and they just destroyed it last year. Now that the Persian Ming Cult actually sent people to recruit them, wouldn''t it mean that they would establish the Ming Cult again and then antagonize the martial arts in the Central Plains?
?Mingjiao has weird teachings and extreme actions. It has long been deeply feared by the martial arts community in the Central Plains and has become a public nuisance to the martial arts community. Therefore, they were naturally not angry with the Persian chief minister.
…
?When the three Persian envoys saw that the man had been recruited, they no longer concealed anything and added some things that the man did not know.
?It turns out that the Persian fleet is right behind them and will arrive in half an hour at most.
"You''d better let us go now. Otherwise, we will definitely not be polite to you and will defend the dignity of our head teacher to the death." Liuyunshi shouted.
?Seeing that he was about to die and still stubborn, all the heroes shouted, "Kill them! Kill them!"
?These Persian Mingjiao people are simply abominable. Only death can atone for one''s sins.
"Don''t get excited, everyone. Didn''t you hear what they said? The Persian Ming Cult brought fifteen warships this time, and they were equipped with twenty large artillery pieces." Xiang Nan said immediately, "We must seize the time to prepare now, otherwise , when the fleet of the Persian Ming Cult arrives, we may not be able to survive."
When everyone heard this, they nodded.
No one here is a country bumpkin. I have never seen or heard the power of artillery. It can really tear apart mountains and rocks. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, if you are shot from the front, you will definitely die.
What''s more, they also brought fifteen warships and twenty artillery pieces. How powerful must be the fire fired together? I am afraid that with one salvo, there will be very few people left on the island.
“Song Shaoxia, what do you think we should do?”
“Young Master Song, we all listen to you.” “Young Master Song, what are your strategies to defend against the enemy?”
?Some people in the crowd shouted sparsely, but not everyone was willing to listen to Xiang Nande.
After all, there are many people here including heads of various sects, gang leaders, heads of aristocratic families, etc. Almost everyone is a powerful person.
? Even if gangs such as the Sea Sand Sect, the Giant Whale Gang, and the Divine Fist Sect may not seem to be popular, they are actually the overlords of at least one state, one county, and one city.
So naturally not everyone will listen to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan also knew this, but he still said, "Everyone go to the mountain and take away the corpses to lure the enemy deeper."
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, everyone nodded and immediately started to take action.
??As for Xie Xun''s enemies, they were all in a hurry and stepped forward to take revenge.
?Lest he be accidentally killed under the artillery fire of the Persian Ming Cult, they would lose the chance of revenge.
In the end, Xie Xun was stabbed in the chest by more than two hundred more swords, and was stabbed in the chest by Miejie Shitai, Du Baidang, Yi Sanniang and his wife, and his soul returned to that world.
Xiang Nan had no sympathy for his experience.
??Although he was plotted by Cheng Kun, it was indeed pitiful. But in order to take revenge on Cheng Kun, he killed innocent people indiscriminately and took so many lives. Being killed now is the retribution he deserves.
He killed Xie Xun and avenged his relatives, which also made everyone very grateful to Xiang Nan.
??Had he not restrained Xie Xun, with their martial arts, it would have been difficult to even get close, let alone kill Xie Xun for revenge.
So people like Du Baidang, Yi Sanniang and others knelt down directly in front of Xiang Nan.
"Young Master Song, thank you for allowing us to take revenge. From now on, as long as you are ordered, we and I will go through fire and water, and we will not give up!"
“Young Master Song, you asked me to avenge the murder of my father. From now on, my life will be yours. I will do whatever you ask me to do.”
“Young Master Song, it’s thanks to you that I can take revenge. From now on, our Golden Dragon Gang will only follow the lead of the Wudang Sect. Please give me your orders!”
Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly stepped forward to help him up, feeling secretly proud at the same time.
Xie Xun committed more than 30 major crimes that year, many of which involved prominent figures. Now that Xiang Nan has avenged them, they all owe Xiang Nan a big favor.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????With so many friends here, he will not have to worry about anything big happening in the future.
…
As soon as Xie Xun died, several boat shadows appeared on the horizon.
As soon as everyone saw it, they immediately warned him.
“Everyone, hurry up the mountain.” Xiang Nan greeted immediately.
Spirit Snake Island is a large island with verdant trees. There are many towering mountains on the island.
Therefore, people on top can avoid artillery attacks. After all, the artillery of the fourteenth century had a range of only five to six hundred meters at most.
To be honest, it’s not even as far as the range of an arrow.
It was not until the birth of modern artillery in the seventeenth century that the range was greatly extended.
