Ruo Hai knelt on one knee, cupped his fists, and said, "Please, General, allow me to put to sea and test whether this Yellow Talisman is effective!"
Tonight the wind is fierce, and anyone who has lived by the sea knows that you must not set sail when a hurricane is approaching, or else there's a nine-in-ten chance you'll never return.
Yan Heng looked at the letter Ruo Hai had given him along with a stack of Yellow Talismans, then glanced at the hourglass.
There were still two hours left before the hurricane mentioned in the letter was due to pass.
If they set sail now, it would take but an hour to reach Nanyu Island. By the time the hurricane passed, their forces would already be ashore.
During this time the storm would grow fiercer and fiercer. The enemy surely be convinced that they wouldn't dare to launch a nighttime naval attack in such conditions. With the wind and waves so brutal, the enemy would certainly let down their guard, perhaps to the extent of not even patrolling.
