It was well past midnight.
A small boat, loaded with an abundance of fishing gear brought by soldiers to please the three, set out for the Great Marsh.
The fish baskets gently swayed in the river wind.
Ke Wenbin was rowing, Xiang Fangsu was staring at the map, and Liang Qu was holding the Compass.
Above the Great Marsh, the waves were in all directions, without any geographical markers—it was truly easy to get lost without a Compass.
As soon as the building ship was completely out of sight, the small boat immediately turned around and carved a long arc.
After being out for three-quarters of an hour, the three re-entered Yudi, carefully avoiding the surveillance around them as they made their way near the island chain.
"Disembark, we'll swim over stealthily."
The area near the island chain was filled with scouts; the boat was too big of a target and could be easily discovered by the scouts.
