Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation On a moonlit night, a warm breeze brushed past the Daojiang River. Spring had come especially fast in Cangnan Province. In the middle of the river, huge imperial warships were cleaving through the waves. On the warships, there were huge black cannons. Each warship had three cannons. There were nearly fifty warships moving slowly in the river. However, the people on the ships were not in the mood to sleep. Their eyes were wide open as if they wanted to see through the water of Daojiang.
"Vice Commander Wei, what are you looking at?"
Commander Baili Cang smiled and looked at the water outside of the ship, "Could it be that there are some water monsters in the water?"
Baili Cang had not experienced the battle of Wildfire Plains, so he naturally did not know about these things. Wei Chou only smiled and said, "No, but it is better to be careful … … The demon race has a kind of underwater army that is very scary. We must be careful."
"Are you talking about the Winged Ones?"
"Yes."
Baili Cang could not help but smile, "I am the commander of the navy, but to be honest, I have never seen this kind of underwater army of the demon race. It is a bit strange."
"Don't be strange. You do not want to see the Winged Ones." Wei Chou placed his hand on the hilt of the sword on his waist and said, "Come, gather our guards and protect the warships at all times."
"Yes!"
Behind him, a general wearing the insignia of a Golden Star Sparring Master cupped his fist and said, "Vice Commander, please do not worry. Everything has been prepared. Nothing will happen."
"Ah, that is good."
Wei Chou looked up at the starlight and said, "The last time we transported the magic crystal cannons by water, it did not escape the eyes of the winged demons. If nothing goes wrong, this time we will transport the magic crystal cannons by water. With QianFeng's shrewdness, he will definitely notice it and take action. Everyone, stay alert and do not sleep at night."
"Yes, Vice Commander!"
Baili Cang looked at the two sides of the river in the distance and said, "This war has been going on for two years. I do not know when it will end. If it continues, I am afraid that the empire's national strength will be completely exhausted."
"It will not be long."
"I hope so."
Suddenly, a long soft tongue shot out from the water and went straight for Baili Cang. It stuck to Baili Cang's chest armor and pulled him to the surface of the water!
"Be careful!"
Wei Chou hurriedly grabbed Baili Cang's arm and pulled him back to the side of the ship. He raised his sword and cut off Baili Cang's soft tongue. He shouted, "The horseshoe crab man has appeared. Prepare for battle!"
Everyone was shocked and drew their swords! The archers came to the edge of the deck, and arrows rained down. The arrows whizzed into the water, seemingly having no effect.
The Mengs did not attack from the front. Instead, clanking sounds of chiseling came from the bottom of the ship. The Mengs were using the same trick, trying to pierce through the warship!
"Damn it!"
Wei Chou brandished his sword and said, "Beast Taming Division, what are you waiting for? Release your treasures!"
"Yes!"
A group of generals dressed in the armor of the Holy Temple put their fingers to their mouths and whistled. Not far away, a whirlpool appeared at the bottom of the water. That was the sound of a giant swimming underwater. In the next moment, a Mengs were swept out of the water by a huge tail and were bitten in half by a Frost Armored Horned Dragon!
"Keke …"
Violent screams could be heard from under the water. The fifty Frost Armored Horned Dragons and the Mastiffs were engaged in a fierce battle. The Mastiffs relied on their ability to breathe underwater, but the Frost Armored Horned Dragons could do the same. Furthermore, the Frost Armored Horned Dragons were covered in extremely hard scales that the Mastiffs were unable to pierce through.
In the blink of an eye, the surface of the water was dyed dark red. No one knew how the battle was progressing underwater. But judging from the floating Mengs' corpses, the Frost Armored Horned Dragons had the absolute upper hand. Even though the Mengs had the advantage in numbers, they were still no match for the Frost Armored Horned Dragons!
About two hours later, the Mengs' corpses on the surface of the water were floating together, reflecting a strange radiance under the moonlight. One by one, the Frost Armored Horned Dragons emerged from the water, their heads bowing to their masters on the warship. The masters immediately threw the fishes into the water, feeding the Frost Armored Horned Dragons as if they were dogs.
Baili Cang was still in a state of shock. He stared dumbfoundedly and said, "Commander Yu's taming of these Frost Armored Horned Dragons is indeed effective … Oh my god, the demon race's underwater legion has actually found their way here."
Wei Chou muttered, "Fifty Frost Armored Horned Dragons eat a hundred cows and five hundred sheep every day. After raising them for so many days, I can finally see the results. Hehe, Commander Yu is indeed far-sighted. If we did not have the Frost Armored Horned Dragons to protect us, we would definitely be at a disadvantage this time. Perhaps all the Magic Crystal Cannons would have sunk into the river, making it even harder to predict the outcome of the battle."
"That's right …"
Baili Cang squinted his eyes and smiled, "If you could distribute a few of these Frost Armored Horned Dragons to our navy …"
"Don't think too much. Commander Baili, you don't know that these Frost Armored Horned Dragons are my lord's flesh and blood. You want to take away his flesh, hmph … Do you think a stingy person like him will agree?"
"Haha, that's true … Deputy Commander Wei is right …"
…
A bright moon hung high in the sky. Hundred Ridge City was as quiet as usual. Once midnight arrived, the city would be under martial law. No one was allowed to enter or leave the city. However, tonight was different. On the city wall, Lei Manfang was patrolling above the city as usual. The two golden stars on his shoulders sparkled under the moonlight.
"Clap, clap …"
The sound of birds flapping their wings came from the sky. A messenger bird landed on Lei Manfang's shoulder. He hurriedly took down the letter, unfolded it, and looked into the distance. Hundred Ridge City was surrounded by mountains, but at this moment, he could vaguely see the light of fire in the distant mountains. He could even faintly hear the sound of galloping warhorses.
"My Lord, have they arrived?" a chiliarch asked respectfully.
"Yes."
Lei Manfang said indifferently, "Who is on duty at the north gate tonight?"
"It's Zhou Chao, chiliarch of the Heaven's Vault Army."
"Good. Bring the brothers and follow me. Let's treat Zhou Chao to a drink."
"Yes!"
A group of people walked down from the city wall and arrived at the camp guarding the city. Lei Manfang carried a jar of wine under his arm and walked into the tent casually. He laughed and said, "Brother Zhou Chao, how have you been?"
Zhou Chao was a middle-aged general about forty years old. He sniffed and said with a smile, "Hahaha, apricot wine from a small town in the southwest of Hundred Ridge City. I wonder if I guessed correctly?"
"Haha, brother, you really are a god of wine! Come come come, I happen to have nothing to do today. I'll come and drink with you. "
"But …" Zhou Chao frowned and said, "I'm on duty at the city gate today. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to drink!"
"It's fine. Commander Ye is trapped in Cang Lin Valley. We don't even know if he's dead or alive. Who can care about you? There's wine tonight, so let's get drunk. What's the point of caring so much?"
"That's true. Come come come, let's not stop until we're drunk!"
The two of them placed good wine and meat on the table and drank without restraint. After they were half drunk, a hint of killing intent flashed through Lei Manfang's eyes. He said with a smile, "General Ji has led three hundred thousand troops and is surrounded by the demon race. They're most likely going to be swallowed whole. I think the situation in Yihe Country is about to change. Brother Zhou Chao, don't you think about the future?"
Zhou Chao was startled, "General Lei, what do you mean by that? Are you thinking of defecting to the enemy?"
"That's exactly what I'm thinking."
Lei Manfang smiled slightly, "The reason I'm treating you to a drink today is to ask for something from you. I want to present it to Commander Xiang Yu of the empire!"
"What … What do you want?!" Zhou Chao was half sober now. He flipped over and grabbed his sword.
"I want your head!"
Lei Manfang's eyes flashed fiercely. He opened his palm and a flame shot out. Instantly, Zhou Chao groaned and fell to the ground. The difference in strength was too great. There was no suspense at all. Lei Manfang walked forward and cut off his head. Just like when he came, he carried something under his armpit. However, this time, it wasn't wine but a head.
"Get rid of those who are in the way. Immediately open the city gates and welcome the empire's army into the city!"
With Lei Manfang's order, Zhou Chao's guards were almost all killed in an instant. The city gates buzzed open. Not long after, the iron hooves from afar arrived. The Purple Yinhua emblem shone under the light of the torches. After five years, the Purple Yinhua finally appeared in Hundred Ridge City again. The iron horses in front all had human heads hanging on their necks. Needless to say, the Yihe Country's guards along the way had all been killed. In the distance, Xiang Yu's army was densely packed!
"Commander Xiang!"
Lei Manfang held up Zhou Chao's head and smiled. "This is the head of Zhou Chao, who was on duty in the North City tonight. Please accept it, Commander Xiang."
Xiang Yu rode forward, his eyes filled with pride and a smile. "General Lei, I wonder what kind of reward His Highness promised you for you to take such a risk."
"Marquis Lingnan."
"Oh, I see!" Xiang Yu cupped his fists and smiled. "Then congratulations, Marquis Lingnan. Let's go. We'll enter the city and immediately take control of everything in Hundred Ridge City!"
"Yes!"
"Enter the city!" Xiang Yu raised his arm and shouted. "Once you enter the city, you are not allowed to plunder or kill any civilians. Attack the four city gates immediately and kill all the Yihe Country's guards!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Amidst the clattering of hooves, a row of imperial cavalrymen galloped into the city. The magnificent Hundred Ridge City, the capital of the Yihe Kingdom, had been left with less than ten thousand soldiers. Xiang Yu had seized the city so easily!
…
At the same time, Cang Lin Valley was in flames. Only a few of the Yihe Country's two hundred thousand elite soldiers were left, but the remaining thousands were still fighting to the death. Among the crowd, a blazing flame rushed back and forth, crushing the Armor Demons and Winged People. It was the Fire Dance Deity King, Ouyang Yan.
"Ouyang Yan!"
Suddenly, a majestic voice came from the sky. When Ouyang Yan looked up, she saw a person descending from the sky. His giant palm was filled with divine power!
Bam!
When the two palms collided, air currents flew everywhere. Ouyang Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and flew far away like a falling leaf. She looked up at the person in the sky. It was a black-robed elder. She gritted her teeth and said, "You are …"
Not far away, QianFeng and the other high-level demons knelt down and said the answer Ouyang Yan wanted, "Greetings, Deity King!"
The Demon King laughed and opened his palm. "Ouyang Yan, you useless deity, how dare you resist my army. I think you must be tired of living!"
"You!"
Ouyang Yan gritted her teeth, but the Demon King's power was too strong. He was so strong that she could not resist. She quickly retreated. A purple light flashed behind her, and she disappeared. It was the Void Step's teleportation technique.
"Hmph, scoundrel!"
The Demon King looked at the place where Ouyang Yan disappeared. He waved his arm and said, "Marshal QianFeng, you have wasted too much time. Clean up the battlefield immediately and attack the empire's position. I want to see the heads of Qin Yin and Lin Muyu within three days."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
In the crowd, Ye Xunhuan trembled. He raised his sword and rushed over angrily. He shouted, "I'll fight you to the death!"
The Demon King looked at him fiercely and activated the power of the Celestial Territory. Ye Xunhuan was immediately immobilized. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose. In the blink of an eye, his face was ashen. He knelt on the ground, no longer breathing. The dignified commander of the Yihe Country's Heaven Vault Army had died in battle without a sound!
"Who else wants to resist the Celestial Race?" The Demon King looked coldly at the last troops of the Yihe Country.
…
Clang …
The sword in Ji Yao's hand fell on the mountain rock. He slowly knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice, "Subordinate Ji Yao … is willing … willing to surrender to the Celestial Race. I hope the Deity King … can take me in."
"Hmph, despicable person."
The Demon King smiled faintly. "Marshal QianFeng, this Ji Yao … should we keep him or not?"
QianFeng couldn't help but laugh. "Your Majesty, the Celestial Race lacks a commander for the advance army. This Ji Yao has some prestige in the Yihe Country. Let him stay."
"Yes, you deal with him."
"Yes!"
