They could feel the strong will to fight in the eyes of the soldiers.
The troops were waiting for battle, ready to set off at any time.
They could see Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Wu Yong, and other strategists among them. They would be needed to strategize for the army this time. It was only right for them to formulate battle strategies and follow the army into battle.
"Where is Zhou Yu?!"
Yi Tianxing stepped onto the platform and said.
"Here!!"
Zhou Yu, who was dressed in martial attire, bowed and said.
"How is the preparation of the Blue Legion?"
Yi Tianxing asked.
"Your Majesty, the Blue Legion has been reorganized. The 500,000 soldiers have returned to their posts. Moreover, all of the soldiers are adept in water. They are very good at water battles. They can go to the seas for Da Yi to defend against foreign enemies at any time. "
Zhou Yu said without hesitation. He looked very confident. The Blue Army had a full complement of 500,000 soldiers. After all, the Army Spirit Battle Domain had a large number of elite soldiers. It was not just the tens of millions of soldiers from back then. Over the years, there had been an endless stream of commoners who had joined the army. This caused the number of soldiers in the Army Soul Battle Universe to soar again. There was an abundance of soldiers.
This allowed the number of soldiers in the Army Soul Battle Universe to remain at a shocking figure of no less than 70 million.
If it was not for the Great Change Dynasty, the huge number of soldiers they had to support would be enough to bankrupt a dynasty. They could not even afford to support them, let alone use them as resources for cultivation. That was the number of ships. It would be an astronomical figure if it was made known to others.
"Very good. How are the preparations for the Blue Legion's Sky Ships?"
Yi Tianxing asked again.
"Each Blue Sky Ship can carry ten thousand soldiers. Currently, the Blue Legion has 50 Blue Sky Ships. It is enough to equip the entire legion. We can set off at any time. "Zhou Yu could not help but feel excited when he mentioned the Blue Sky Ships. Such Sky Ships were too powerful. Before this, he had not expected the Great Change Dynasty to have such a strong foundation.
Together with top-notch soldiers, they would definitely be able to unleash several times their combat power.
Fifty blue sky ships. These were the sky ships that carried the Blue Legion. No matter how many there were, it would be useless. The Heaven Ship's maximum capacity was twenty thousand soldiers. Right now, it could only carry ten thousand, which was already quite generous. At the same time, it could ensure that the most powerful battle force would not be affected.
"Alright, the Blue Army will set off first. When we reach land, we'll receive the other armies. "However, among the seven armies, only the Blue Army is capable of conquering the sea. Today, I wish to form a new army."
"Where is Gan Ning?"
Yi Tianxing did not choose to set off immediately. Instead, he was preparing to appoint a new army.
"Here."
Gan Ning stepped forward from the ranks of his generals.
"Gan Ningshui's battle prowess is outstanding. Today, he will be appointed as the commander of the Crimson Legion. He will be in charge of building the Crimson Legion with five hundred thousand soldiers and mounting the Crimson Sky Ship. I hope I can form a fighting force in the shortest time possible. "
Yi Tianxing looked at Gan Ning. He had no doubts about Gan Ning's abilities at all. He was a famous naval general in history, and extremely skilled in water battles.
"I am willing to die for Your Majesty."
Gan Ning expressed his loyalty without further ado.
He was confident that he was as good as Zhou Yu in water battles. Now that he was in charge of an army, he had to make the Crimson Legion one of the most powerful armies of the Great Change Dynasty.
The other armies were a little disappointed that they couldn't follow the army directly, but they didn't say anything about it. They could teleport there as soon as a base was built. If they wanted to conquer land, they'd have to work together. They'd have plenty of opportunities to show their worth. There was no rush.
"Blue Army, heed my command. Please board the sky ships. We're setting off!"
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Several Heavenly Boats emitting a blue glow appeared in the rift. The Heavenly Boats were only the size of an adult at the beginning, but in just a short period of time, they grew into enormous Heavenly Boats capable of accommodating over ten thousand people. The deck was extremely spacious.
Fifty ships, not one more, not one less.
The army boarded the sky ships in an orderly fashion. There were ten thousand men on each ship. Once they were on deck, the soldiers took their positions in a practiced manner, weapons unsheathed, bows nocked. A murderous aura permeated the air. The sharpness of the aura was palpable.
In the blink of an eye, all five hundred thousand soldiers had boarded the sky ships.
"Your Majesty, please board the ship."
Zhou Yu invited Yi Tianxing.
The group boarded Zhou Yu's flagship as well.
"It's a sky ship indeed, a peerless immortal ship. It's very different from the giant whale warships I've seen before. "
Jia Xu sighed to himself as he stood on the deck.
The deck beneath his feet seemed to be formed from a layer of blue water, yet it was as sturdy and as ethereal as a cloud. It was a refreshing sight to behold.
The sky ships soon took to the air.
The rainbow bridge appeared and transported the Blue Army to the coastal area.
"What a majestic sea. There's no end to it. "
Zhuge Liang exclaimed.
The majesty of the sea was rare in this world. No matter who it was, at first sight, they would feel small and insignificant. It was easy to get lost in the sea. Once lost, one might never be able to leave the sea for the rest of their lives, never to find their way back. And that was only one of the most insignificant aspects of the sea.
That was why one needed a compass and a nautical chart.
With the Vast Sea Chart in hand, it was the best thing they could rely on to set foot in the sea.
He took out the chart.
It could be seen that the map was a miniature version of the Immensity Sea that had shrunk countless times. A large area was shrouded in fog, and the islands and continents could be seen. Among them, the continent that Yi Zhou was on was extremely clear.
In the sea chart, there was an island that was clearly marked.
That island was named Heavenly Hawk Island on the map. It was the island that belonged to the Heavenhawk Dynasty. With the coordinates imprinted by First Madam Gongsun, he could fuse them into the sea map and clearly form the fastest sailing route.
It was obvious that Heavenhawk Island was not too far from Yi Zhou. However, he would have to pass through three islands that were almost the same size. Along the way, there was a restricted area in the sea. It was not to be approached easily.
"According to the chart, we have to pass through these three islands if we want to reach Heavenhawk Island. These three islands are not as big as Yi Zhou, but they are about a quarter the size of Yi Zhou. But we don't know the specifics. Whether they are suitable for living, whether there are powerful forces on them, these are all unknown. Everything is possible. "
Zhuge Liang opened the sea map and waved his feather fan, pointing at the map as he said, "Now, we have two choices. The first is to head straight for Heavenhawk Island. As for the islands and continents along the way, we will ignore them for now. We will think about it later. The second is to attack and occupy these three islands, and occupy the resources along the way. Step by step, we will completely turn this area into Da Yi's territory. In this way, we can attack steadily. It will be connected to Yi Zhou, and will not become an enclave.
”
One was to disregard everything and directly attack Heavenhawk Island. The other was to seek victory steadily. Keep one's feet on the ground.
How to choose was a problem.
"I believe that since we, Da Yi, have entered the path of official expansion, we will naturally take one step at a time and move forward steadily. As long as there is a sea, there will be warships of Da Yi patrolling, and as long as there is a continent, there will be dragon flags of Da Yi. In this way, the Teleportation Formation will be more convenient for transportation, and the distance between each destination will be controllable. Regardless of whether we advance or retreat, we will be invincible. "
Jia Xu said with a smile.
Da Yi currently had a good hand of cards, and if they wanted to continue playing their cards and smoothly reach the peak, they would have to seek stability.
"Hmm, then we will move forward steadily. As long as there is a continent above the sea, even if it is a small island that is not suitable for a large number of people to live on, we will still need to build a Teleportation Formation, and build a perfect transportation system."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
Although they wanted to reach Heavenhawk Island as soon as possible, there was a saying, 'haste makes waste', especially when it came to war. The more impatient one was, the easier it was to cause trouble. Without a stable foundation, even if they reached Heavenhawk Island, they would only be rootless duckweed. This expedition was to reach Heavenhawk Island, and also to expand their territory.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Zhuge Liang and the others said with a smile.
This decision was obviously in line with their plans.
The general trend was now in Da Yi's hands. Nibbling away at the outside world step by step, and bringing them under Da Yi's control, this was the most appropriate, and the most stable foundation. This was the way to plan a country.
The Heavenly Ship traveled at a high speed, traveling above the sea, following the sea map, and moving forward. The sea beasts in the surrounding waters had already been suppressed, and a large number of sea beasts had been killed, causing the number of sea beasts to be very low. Even if there were, most of them were hiding in the sea. Some sea beasts looked up at the sky from the bottom of the sea, and when they saw the Heavenly Ship tearing through the air, they did not dare to move recklessly.
The sea beasts' senses were stronger than that of humans, and they could feel the pressure from the Heavenly Ship. They could sense a trace of danger. They would not easily offend it.
After leaving Yi Province, the Heavenly Ship sailed for nearly a thousand li, and a lookout came to report.
"There is land ahead, it is a small island. It has a circumference of about three hundred li. There are no forests, and we can only see a large area of rocks. It should be formed by large reefs in the sea. "
Although it was called a land, it was more like a small island.
In his previous life, a circumference of three hundred li would definitely be considered a large island, but in the Eternal World, it was a small island that was not even recorded on the sea map. There was no vegetation, and the rocks were everywhere. It did not seem suitable for the growth of plants. In the middle of the sea, it was just an isolated island.
