Vice General Wu wiped the blood off his face, and after his men checked, they reported that only one boat suddenly approached. They were too busy dealing with the people on the island to notice; by the time they saw it, people from the boat had already swum ashore.
The men reported, "The women in the village were escorted by those people to board that boat."
Upon hearing this, Vice General Wu broke into a cold sweat once more.
If those women are alive, the matter on the island can't be covered up; even if all remaining people on the island are killed, what's the use?
"What about the boat? Has it left the island?" Vice General Wu asked.
"Not yet," a subordinate replied, "It's likely waiting to pick up those kept at the mine."
Vice General Wu nodded: "Bring me the Stone-Throwing Machine, and prepare the crossbow with fire attack arrows and thorn fireballs. Follow me to burn that boat."
