Xu Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. Was that the point right now?
"Xiao Ping, if you have time, go help them. Don't bother me."
"If I go over, they won't be able to fake it."
Xiao Ping was quite confident.
Xu Qian shot him a look and instructed, "You remember to keep Xu Lu down and prevent him from coming out. Let's deal with these people first."
A smile curved Xiao Ping's lips. This was the first time Xu Qian had kept him back.
"En!"
Xu Qian raised her binoculars and saw that the number of warships had increased from five to eight. It seemed they were determined to win.
Suddenly, a loud "boom" echoed.
A cannonball landed precisely within the anti-bombing zone, igniting a fierce blaze.
The two sides engaged in fierce combat. After a while, they retreated as instructed.
In an instant, there wasn't a single person on the shore. Everyone was fleeing inland.
Xu Qian continued to observe the movements. They didn't act rashly, but first sent some people from one warship ashore.
There weren't many people, mostly with blonde hair and blue eyes. As soon as they landed, they chased after them inland.
Seeing that there were no issues, warships began to dock one after another, though one remained far away, refusing to dock.
Xu Qian's expression turned slightly cold. These people were quite smart; their leader was afraid of death.
Fortunately, there were enough traps inside to keep them occupied for a while.
She closed her eyes slightly and unleashed her abilities.
Her current mental power range was about two football fields large, but they were too far away for her to bring them into her space.
Xu Qian could, of course, collect the warships docked on the shore first. She simply didn't want to alert them. If they escaped this time, it would lead to a new round of battles.
She didn't want to procrastinate; it would be better to wipe them out completely, eliminating future trouble.
"Xiao Ping, wait here. I'm going into the water."
Since they wouldn't come over, she would go to them.
Xiao Ping scratched his head, his face full of confusion. "Xu Qian, don't we have submarines?"
Why did she still need to swim over herself?
Xu Qian shook her head. "It would cause too much commotion. You stay on the shore and watch. I'll be back as soon as possible."
Xiao Ping's brows furrowed, a little worried. It was in the water, after all. What if they fired cannons in the water...
"Xu Qian, you have to be careful."
Xu Qian nodded, took off her shoes and jacket, and jumped into the sea.
The sea had not been polluted and was still a shallow blue.
The seawater was very comfortable, enveloping her the moment she entered.
She swam very fast, reaching her destination in less than 10 minutes.
Xu Qian closed her eyes, preparing to cover the area with her mental power, when suddenly, a loud "boom" sounded.
The cannonball exploded right beside her ear.
She was almost deafened, her ears buzzing, and her head splitting with pain.
Xu Qian knew she couldn't stay any longer. Relying on muscle memory, she dove back underwater.
Soon, another cannonball exploded nearby.
The position was targeted.
They had found her.
She had been holding her breath underwater the whole time, so why did they find her?
Xiao Ping's face turned pale with fright. He ignored everything and jumped into the water, swimming towards Xu Qian.
"Xu Qian, Xu Qian."
"Sister..."
His eyes flickered between dark green and light green. The explosion had caused too much mental stimulation for him. They couldn't handle it.
Finally, the boy's eyes stabilized to a dark green. Xu Qian had instructed him to suppress Xu Lu before the battle ended.
Xu Lu was so timid and easily stimulated; he definitely couldn't be let out.
Xu Qian leaned against a corner between the warships, taking a deep breath. Blood dripped from her ear.
Her vision went black, and she could barely see the scene in front of her.
Just a little more, and she could have brought that warship into her space.
