Chapter 156 Chapter 156 The action is finally about to begin...
Searching for a warship on the seabed is not an easy task.
The advance soldiers could only confirm that there was indeed a warship here, but because they could not get close, they could not give the exact location and coordinates.
So they still have to search within a roughly defined area.
The designated sea area wasn't large, only a few dozen nautical miles in diameter. However, they also had to consider the enemy's diving depth and speed, so accurately locking onto the target was no easy task. Furthermore, they couldn't alert the enemy during this process, lest they alert the enemy.
They were not sure whether the rebels had any other deployments, so in order to prevent the other party from discovering any clues in advance, Long Qi let the aircraft hover on the sea a little further away.
In addition to Xilos, there are also many sea orcs on it.
But since the rebels are so short of fused orcs, they may not kill them casually, but will find a way to bring them back.
The rest of the warships were sailing according to the route given by Long Qi, and the communication between the warships was also cut off by Long Qi.
It would be easy for the other party to pretend to be Xilos and communicate with Ye Ning, and then pretend to be him to give orders to the other warships.
The most direct way is to cut off contact and completely seize command.
That way, everyone only knows where they are going.
But this is not an absolute solution. The infiltration of the rebels is beyond their imagination. There is no guarantee that someone will not inform the rebels or temporarily defect.
So Ye Ning also contacted Xilos's minister Yarlin. When Xilos was seriously injured, it was he who accompanied him to the Xisha District.
Since Ye Ning had personally suggested this, Yaerlin didn't hesitate. He immediately joined forces with the other ministers and granted Long Qi command of an entire army. Therefore, in addition to the previously deployed warships, the nearby fleet, along with other unmanned vessels, submarines, and fighter jets, were also rapidly en route.
Additional troops were also dispatched from Xisha District and Gaojiang District. Some were sent to the ocean, while others were sent to the coastline. Since the enemy was bound to come ashore, blocking the coastline was a necessary measure.
Now, everyone is moving in a circle, gradually surrounding the area where they are.
In the command room, Long Qi held the scales of Xilos in his hand.
In fact, even without touching the scales, he could easily distinguish the breath of Xilos.
But Ye Ning gave him the scales.
The blue scales, illuminated by the light, appear a lustrous, bright blue, and a colorful halo appears around the edges due to the refraction of light.
Even though it was inappropriate, Ye Ning still admired in her heart that Xilos' scales were really beautiful.
The amazement in Ye Ning's eyes was beyond words. Long Qi casually put the scales into his pocket and asked, "Is the ring I gave you here?"
Ye Ning took out the ring from her pocket and said, "Here."
The ring inlaid with rubies also looks very dazzling.
Long Qi took the ring and put it on Ye Ning's index finger.
"Wear it."
The metal part of the ring will automatically fit the size of the finger when worn. Because she usually grows plants and it is inconvenient to have something on her hand, she has never worn it.
Ye Ning habitually fiddled with the black scales on the ring setting twice and agreed.
Long Qi said that by wearing the ring he would be able to better sense her location.
She quite likes this ring, which is classic yet has a sense of understated luxury. However, she has been planting plants and it is not convenient to wear such jewelry on her hands, so she has not worn it, but she will take it out and admire it occasionally.
After putting on the ring, Ye Ning looked at the command screen again, "Did you find it?"
Long Qi nodded slightly.
He was operating the command console, and in the corner, the underwater image was clearly transmitted back.

When the black muzzles of the guns were collectively lowered, some people cried for joy at having survived the disaster, some collapsed on the ground, shaking uncontrollably, and some had very ugly expressions because they had guessed something.
They were also recaptured by the rebels and gathered together.
All the actions of the rebels were telling them that Silos had been captured.
After Silos appeared, the rebels quickly took him under control.
They did not look down on him at all because of his current weakness. Not only did they carefully check his body, they also tied him up tightly and even took off the bracelet.
Under the layers of restraints, he could hardly move his body.
The rebels who captured him said nothing and took him directly to the warship's control room.
The rebel soldier with the commander's insignia stood on the command platform and looked at him, "Your Majesty, you finally showed up."
This was the command center of the entire warship, now the rebels' main base. The metal walls were stained with blue and red blood, and there were even broken limbs and debris on the ground.
Anger rose in Xilos' heart, but the smile on his face became more gentle and brighter.
He glanced to the side with a smile. That was his exclusive sofa in the command room. But now, sitting there was a heavily veiled rebel. His face couldn't be seen, but he exuded a provocative aura.
Especially when he looked over, he unconsciously raised his chin and leaned back.
He was still wondering who had betrayed him. Everyone around him seemed normal, but now he finally knew.
If it was such an idiot, how could he not notice it?
The smile on Siros's face gradually disappeared. His eyes were sharp and his voice was low but with unquestionable majesty. "The Bachel family has collectively betrayed me, right?"
The air around them suddenly became quiet.
The person on the sofa gasped, his face beneath the mask filled with disbelief.
His whole body stiffened, panic and fear surged in his heart. In his panic, the sense of submission to Silos that was deeply rooted in his bones surged up again.
But when his eyes fell on the bound body of Silos again, the fear in his heart was gradually replaced by a twisted confidence.
Siros had been captured by them and would soon become a test subject for the rebels. Whether the experiment succeeded or failed, he would never again be able to become the king of the empire.
Therefore, there is no possibility for Xilos to turn things around in this life!
This realization changed his mindset. His initial panic gradually faded, and his tone took on a hint of contempt. "Your Majesty, please stop making wild guesses. You are now nothing more than a prisoner at our mercy. Cooperate with us, or we cannot guarantee your safety or the safety of the others."
Silos chuckled and looked at the leading rebel commander.
"Kill him, and I'll help you open the planting room."
Everyone paused, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
They all knew that there was a thousand-square-meter planting room on the top floor, but the top floor was heavily guarded, and only people around Silos and Ye Ning could enter on a regular basis. After they took control of the entire warship, they tried everything but couldn't open the door.
If Siros is willing to cooperate——
Siros continued, "The plants in the top-floor planting room were planted for me by Lord Ye Ning himself. The concentration of plant elements is dozens of times higher than that of the plants outside. It also stores several tons of green stone and--"
His face was pale and he seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. He leaned on the rebels behind him to relax.
"Kill him, and I'll help you open it now."
Everyone's attention was once again focused on the man sitting on the chair.
There is exploration and hesitation, but this kind of convergence of gazes is undoubtedly telling men that they are really moved!
The man's heart was filled with alarm. He had also told them about the planting room. The rebels had an extraordinary passion for plants, especially after learning that those plants were planted by Lord Ye Ning himself. They had repeatedly asked him about the situation in his planting room.
But who could have imagined that the cultivation room was the most secure area on the entire ship? They could easily enter the command room and kill the commander, but they couldn't break through the defenses of the cultivation room. The entire cultivation room, even the power system, was completely independent and equipped with several automatic generators.
The man who had been so arrogant just now was completely panicked.
He pretended to be calm and said, "Don't drive a wedge between us. If you don't tell us, we'll just kill the others."
Siros laughed again, still as gentle as ever, but one could sense the unquestionable nature of his laughter. "Think about it for yourselves."
The rebels nearby suddenly took action, and someone ran to the rebel commander's ear and said something.
"Bang--"
Without any hesitation, the laser beam instantly penetrated the man's chest.
Siros didn't raise his eyebrows, "I won't die."
Two more shots fired, and bright red blood instantly covered the entire sofa. Three large holes appeared on his body. Beneath the mask, his mouth was wide open, his pupils suddenly constricted, and his face was full of horror.
The rebel commander looked at Silos, "If the door doesn't open immediately, the next shot will be on you."
He seemed to be worried about something. Siros seemed to sense it and this time his smile was much more sincere. "Let's go, those plants are yours."
A large group of rebels, along with a senior officer, escorted Silos to the top floor.
After they left, the man nearby immediately grabbed the person next to them and asked, "How could they find our location so accurately?!"
Ships carrying the scent of Silos flew out from all directions. Although the warships were large targets, they were just a drop in the ocean in the vast ocean. It was impossible for them to be found so quickly.
Unless someone passed the message on.
The next second, everyone rejected this possibility. The signal source had been completely cut off by them long ago. The signal channel they were using now was also the rebels' exclusive channel, which only they could use.
The vast majority of those present were fused orcs, and there was no way they would betray the rebels.
"Sir, their people are here, we must speed up."
"Why rush? This is something we had anticipated." The commander's tone did not change at all. He operated the command console and sent messages to others.
"Where is Lord Ye Ning?"
"She's here too. Dilong is with her. They came here together on a flying vehicle. They're near us now."
Everyone present became excited instantly.
The body lying on the sofa was still bleeding. The rebel commander took a look, frowned slightly, and said with a hint of disgust: "Put his body away."
"Being able to find so many good opportunities for us, it can be considered that his death was well deserved."
"Get ready, get ready. Our action is finally about to begin."
