บท 489: The Exchange

A small fleet of skiffs reached shore in the wee hours of the morning, bringing shocking news with them.

The huge bridge at the westernmost part of the Xiaoyao Lake was already set up and huge groups of soldiers from the Golden Roc army were crossing the lake to set up camp. Its vanguard units were only about 10 kilometers away from the Dragon army and each side could see the dust and smoke billowing from the opposing camp.

Shangguan Jianyi did not think highly of the power of the Fierce Bombs and the next day after his troops crossed the bridge, he sent messengers to officially invite the Dragon army to a battle.

Gu Shenwei had every intention of accepting the offer and before he could give an official reply, more than 30 skiffs came sailing over in the night.

Engaging in battle earlier than planned would be beneficial for both parties.
