The other soldiers felt the same. They were stationed at Black Bear Island, and while they had initially just wanted to make a living, their commoner origins meant they despised the pirates to the bone.
Besides, it was their duty. Who wouldn't want to eliminate a scourge for the people and build a name for themselves?
Watching Chu Lingguang unleash a massacre on the mountaintop, sending the pirates scattering in terror, the soldiers howled with excitement. Under Zhang Baofu's command, the entire force began an orderly charge against the pirates.
First, the Archers picked off the scattered pirates.
Then, the vanguard ran forward to support Chu Lingguang.
With a single slash, Xuanyuan Jinkang fought his way to Chu Lingguang's side, cut a pirate in two, and demanded, "Chu Lingguang, I don't care about these small fry. Tell me, where are their leaders?"
"They're all inside the stone cave. They've probably set up traps and mechanisms."
Chu Lingguang replied.
