Late at night, nearly four-hundred miles away from the Winter Ridge Province … The waves on the surface of the sea surged, and the most violent part even stirred up waves that were nearly five meters high. Although the battleships built by the Empire were all very large, they were still bobbing up and down like small boats, as if they could be capsized by the mysterious power of the sea at any time.
Except for the helmsman, scouts, and soldiers who were keeping watch, most people had already gone into their cabins to rest. The fleet seemed to be very quiet.
Thirty-five hundred and fifty thousand people and nearly four-eight hundred warships were divided into twenty-four groups, sailing in the ocean according to the echelons. The warships alone had spread for tens of miles on the ocean. Many small lamps were hung on each ship, which were used to communicate with each other and illuminate the flag bearers.
The snow stopped again, but the ocean surface grew colder. The waves bumped against the sides of the ships, but were already frozen by the time they landed on the ships.
On the deck, every five meters, there was a sentry with a sword in their hands. These sentry sentry guards stood like mountains, motionless, not moving even a little bit no matter how the wind blew and how the snow fell.
…
On the deck, a person was standing, wearing a white fox fur cloak. It was Lin Muyu.
He placed his hand on the handrail of the ship and closed his eyes. He activated his Spirit Pulse Technique and sensed everything around him at the bottom of the sea. Five kilometers away, the vanguard fleet led by Feng Jixing was opening up a path. Even further away, there were auras flying at high speed in the air. Those were the patrolling troops of the Xingtian Heavenly Army. The Xingtian Heavenly Army would play an extremely important role in this expedition. The Empire could only rely on them to deal with the dragonriders.
In the deep ocean, enormous creatures seemed to be ready to move. They were deep-sea flood dragons.
Apart from them, about ten meters under the ocean, Gong Gong's navy warriors were guarding the fleet with weapons in their hands. They didn't show their heads for the whole day, but they had been guarding the fleet. In fact, no one knew that in the afternoon, over ten deep-sea flood dragons attempted to attack the fleet, but were all killed by Gong Gong's navy warriors on the bottom of the ocean. Otherwise, another great disturbance would be caused.
The spirit pulse magic reached further away, and no power could be sensed at all.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but furrow his brows. Had his cultivation fallen to such an extent? He could only sense auras within five kilometers. If it were in the past, sensing auras from a thousand kilometers away would not be an issue.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky. There was a faint sound of thunder. Although the Heavenly Punishment had already descended, it did not seem to have left. The weather was still getting worse by the day. He did not know what was happening in the Heaven Realm. It felt as if the Heaven Realm had already changed. Otherwise, the Mortal Realm would not have such a terrible scene of doomsday.
The first Demon God had already descended. It was a God.
It seemed that the new laws and order had already been established. The future Gods would be divided into three levels: High, Middle, and Low. However … if they were all cruel and ruthless Demon Gods, it would be a nightmare for humans. Where was the future?
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh. In the past, when she had the power of an Emperor God, she felt that she could control everything. But now, she couldn't anymore. Everyone's fate was in the hands of heaven's will.
"His Royal Highness is still awake?"
A gentle voice sounded from behind him. He didn't even need to turn around to know who it was. It was Ouyang Yan.
"Ouyang, why aren't you sleeping?" Lin Muyu asked.
Ouyang Yan walked forward and stood side by side with Lin Muyu. As if she felt cold, she put her face on Lin Muyu's shoulder and snuggled up to him. She said, "I can't sleep. What about you?"
"I can't sleep either." Lin Muyu looked at the distant waves and asked, "Why can't you sleep?"
"I'm worried that I won't be able to get married in the future." Ouyang Yan's eyes flashed with slyness. She smiled and asked, "What about you?"
"I'm worried that I'll lose the battle," Lin Muyu answered truthfully.
"Oh my, it's not easy. Our invincible Highness Yu is actually worried that he can't defeat the Celestial Pole Continent? Hmph, it seems that your confidence is just an act for others to see. "
"You can say that," Lin Muyu smiled bitterly and asked, "Ouyang, have you seen the Heavenly Punishment before?"
"No, I'm such a young god. How could I have seen this kind of mighty heavenly might?"
Ouyang Yan's bright eyes stared at Lin Muyu's face. After looking for a while, she smiled and said, "I'm afraid that what you're really worried about isn't the battle, but the Devil God called Filet from the other side?"
"You're so smart!"
Lin Muyu glanced at her approvingly and said, "The difference in strength between gods and mortals is too great. Back then, Luo Lan, a mere false god, was able to destroy our mountains and rivers. Now, a middle god has actually appeared on the other side. No one knows how strong this middle god is, so I'm always uncertain."
"Middle god …"
Ouyang Yan raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "I heard that the Southern Divine Realm used to have such a ranking system. The gods were divided into three ranks: lower god, middle god, and higher god. Later, this system was abandoned and re-divided into three ranks: Hierarch, Divine King, and God Emperor. They are essentially the same. If nothing goes wrong, that middle god should be around the level of Divine King. Of course, it's not impossible. After all, after the Heavenly Punishment, order was re-established. Perhaps the new gods are far stronger than the old gods."
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "What are we going to use to fight against the evil Devil God in the future?"
"We'll deal with it when it comes. What are you worried about? Besides, the laws are mutually reinforcing. Since there are Devil Gods, then there will definitely be Righteous Gods in the future."
"Righteous Gods?"
"Yes, they're more or less the gods who defend the righteous path …"
Lin Muyu suddenly thought of the Demon Emperor's words, "The righteousness of heaven and earth is vast and everlasting." Everyone with an obsession had a breath of righteousness, but would this breath of righteousness really be recognized by the heavens and ascend to become a god?
At least until now, Lin Muyu hadn't felt the slightest summon from the Divine Oracle, let alone the recovery of her strength.
Ouyang Yan blinked her eyes, as if she had guessed what Lin Muyu was thinking. She hugged one of his arms and said with a smile, "It's alright. This Devil God Filet only ascended to become a god when his savagery reached the pinnacle. As for us, once the obsession in our hearts reaches the pinnacle, we will definitely regain our divine power, just like you and me right now …"
"Right now?" Lin Muyu looked at her.
"That's right …" Ouyang Yan gently twisted her slender waist and rubbed her full chest against Lin Muyu's arm. She said, "Our current posture is originally not tolerated by the world, but now it seems so natural. Why? It's because I, Ouyang Yan, respect and love you. I've long placed you in an extremely important position at the bottom of my heart. "
"Is that so? Isn't it because of the darkness of the night? " Lin Muyu smiled and pulled back her arm. "Don't be like this in the future. If Xiao Yin and Xiao Xi see this, I'll have to kneel on the washboard."
"Hmph, Your Highness Yu, you really are a coward!"
"Can I not be a coward?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Muyu's entire body suddenly trembled. "Not good!"
"What's wrong?"
"A powerful aura has intruded into our fleet's range from the sky! It's a dragonrider! The Celestial Pole Continent's dragonriders have come! "
"Should we head over now?"
"No need." Lin Muyu waved her hand. "Situ Sen has already brought the Xingtian Army over."
Situ Sen was also a dragonrider, and together with the power of the Xingtian Army's Undying Phoenix Knights, a trifling Celestial Pole Continent's dragonrider wasn't a problem at all.
Sure enough, roughly ten minutes later, a row of Xingtian Army soldiers appeared in the sky, covered in raging flames. Situ Sen spurred on an enormous dragon and brought several dragonriders from the Longdan Army Camp down from the sky. At the same time, they tossed the corpse of an enormous dragon onto the deck.
Peng!
Snow flew everywhere. Situ Sen flipped his body over and landed on the deck. He respectfully said, "Sir, this dragonrider tried to spy on our military intelligence, so we've already killed him on the spot."
Lin Muyu shot it a glance. This was a Blue Dragon. Its abdomen had been pierced, and there was a sword wound on its neck as well. This was Situ Sen's masterpiece. Meanwhile, the dragonrider was a warrior in his early twenties. He was extremely young, and his chest had been pierced through by the Xingtian Army's flame spears, moreover more than ten flame spears. One could imagine just how bitter the battle was back then.
"Are you sure there aren't any other dragonriders?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Yes, we're sure there aren't any. Our alert radius is a hundred miles. He entered our range a long time ago, but he still came to die without even knowing it."
"Very good. Continue to maintain vigilance." Lin Muyu glanced at the dragonrider's corpse and said, "Push it to the bottom of the sea to feed the fishes."
"Yes!"
Ouyang Yan pursed her red lips and didn't say anything. She just watched a group of armored warriors push the corpses of the dragonriders and dragons off the ship. Boom! Water splashed, and instantly, a group of Nightmare people appeared and began fighting over the corpses. Unlike Gong Gong's navy, Nightmare people were more like wild beasts. They could eat anything they wanted, and they were unrestrained. QianFeng didn't even bother to restrain them. As long as they didn't hurt his own people, it would be fine. Only by maintaining their nature could they maintain their fighting power.
Ouyang Yan knew that Lin Muyu was known as the most famous general of the empire, and she was also a benevolent general. Logically speaking, she should bury the enemy's corpses as a sign of respect. However, she couldn't do that in the sea. She could only throw the corpses away, or else they would be a burden. This kind of behavior didn't meet the standard of a benevolent general, but it was very much in line with the style of an excellent commander-in-chief.
The East gradually turned bright, and the dawn came.
However, this was only the first day. Lin Muyu felt a bit tired, yawned, and said to Situ Sen, "From now on, you and Wei Chou will be in charge of today's patrol. I'm going to take a nap."
"Yes, Lord. Have a good rest."
Situ Sen carried his long sword and said, "Everyone, continue the patrol with me!"
"Yes, Deputy Commander!"
Although Lin Muyu was the commander-in-chief, Situ Sen, Fengxi, Situ Xue, and a few other deputy commanders truly controlled most of the military power in the Longdan Army Camp. Therefore, the soldiers respected the deputy commanders as much as they respected Lin Muyu, the commander-in-chief.
…
The flagship warship rose and fell with the waves, swaying left and right, causing many people to vomit. "Wah!" sounds could be heard in the cabin from time to time. It was really hard for them.
Lin Muyu's room was next to Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi's. When she opened the door, there was a warm quilt and a warm stove. After taking off her cold armor, she crawled into the quilt and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
