On Dragon-shaped Island, the fog of early spring lingered on the sea, causing one's field of vision to be no more than 50 meters. After many years of operation, numerous artificial islands and reefs were buried along the coast of Dragon-shaped Island to prevent warships from docking from any direction. There was a temporary sentry post every 100 meters on the coast, and a temporary camp every one kilometer.
Early in the morning, the rain and fog fell from the sky. Spring seemed to have come earlier on the island. Many Yihe Nation soldiers had already taken off their armor. They surrounded a huge rock and shouted the number of the dice loudly. Their faces were flushed. They were gambling on nothing else but the three opportunities to "have fun" every month.
In order to stabilize the army's morale, Young Master Qin Huan had set a new rule for female soldiers. Every 100 soldiers would have one female soldier, but each soldier could only enjoy the female soldier three times a month. Therefore, the chips these soldiers used to gamble in their spare time were not Jinyin dollars, but the opportunities to enjoy the female soldier.
"Leopard! Leopard! "
An old soldier with two silver stars on his shoulder shouted loudly. He was a centurion, but he looked to be at least 50 years old.
When he picked up the cup made of bamboo, there were indeed three "1s" on the dice. The old centurion was instantly ecstatic. He was so happy that the veins on his face were bulging. "Hahaha, Zhang San 'er, Li Houzi, your three chances this month are all mine. Hahaha, are you convinced?"
The lean soldier grinned in disappointment. "Three times in a row. I don't know if it's real. They might have done something! I say, Geezer Wang, you have to take it easy. Can you take 21 chances to 'have a big fight' in a month? Don't sprain your old waist. I heard that there was an old guy in the Vanguard who died on the female soldier's belly not long ago! "
The centurion raised his hand. "Brat, you dare to curse me? I'll make you pay for it!"
However, Li Houzi laughed loudly and ran away as fast as he could.
"Where are you going, brat? Don't leave your post without permission. Otherwise, if Marshal Ding catches you, he'll give you 100 military lashes!"
"I'm not leaving. I'm going to pee!"
"Hmph, a lazy donkey is full of shit and urine. Go, go, come back quickly."
Monkey Li lifted his pants and ran straight to the shore. Looking at the fog from afar, there was a patch of reeds on the shore. He jumped into the reeds and peed while humming a song from Yihe Country — "Big girl, fair and fair, with her two * * * raised, calling me brother. You're so naughty. I said I don't want you, but you still came.
If you come in January, it will be Shangxi. If you come in February, it will be steamed with flower cakes. Little sister, little sister, why haven't you come yet? Big brother will wait for you … "
Before he finished singing, a black shadow suddenly attacked from above the reeds!
"Pu!"
An arrow pierced through his throat and blood splashed ten meters away. Li Houzi retreated a few steps. His face was full of confusion. His throat was completely pierced through. After the arrow pierced through his throat, it shot straight into the rocks behind him. The feathers were buzzing and trembling. What kind of powerful arm strength was needed to shoot such a powerful arrow?
"Monkey Li! Monkey Li! "
A soldier walked over and took off his pants with his eyes squinted. Just as he was about to urinate, he saw the corpse lying on the ground in front of him. His body suddenly trembled and his face turned pale. "Quick … Help! Li Houzi is dead! Monkey Li is dead! "
The soldiers who were gambling in the camp on the shore rushed over quickly. Each of them put on their armor as if they were facing a formidable enemy. However, it seemed that they found nothing except Monkey Li's corpse.
"Who killed Monkey Li?" The old centurion held the iron spear and said, "Damn it. Doesn't he know that Monkey Li's sister is the concubine of His Royal Highness Qin Huan? He's courting death … "
"Sir, listen. There's a sound on the sea …"
"What sound? Why can't I hear it?"
"Listen carefully!"
The centurion frowned. The surroundings were silent. The sound of the tide came from the sea. At the same time … there seemed to be some rhythmic sounds. It was the sound of paddling!
"The fog is too thick. Is there someone on the sea?"
"I don't know. What should we do now?"
"Light the beacon fire!"
"Yes!"
A soldier lit a torch and went straight to a beacon tower not far away.
However, he stood still before he came to the side of the beacon tower.
"What's wrong, Zhang San 'er? Are you possessed?" the centurion asked impatiently.
Zhang San 'er stared straight at the sky above his head. There … was a person. That's right. The person was standing on the beacon tower. He was bare-handed, but he was wearing a suit of refined armor. Above him was a huge shadow. It was a giant beast that was hovering in the sky — a dragon!
"I … I …"
Zhang San 'er couldn't even speak a complete sentence. Suddenly, he began to bleed from his seven orifices. A powerful domain aura that almost made his heart stop beating descended. In the blink of an eye, Zhang San' er spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body exploded into a cloud of blood mist. He died without a complete corpse!
"Oh my god, what's going on!?" The centurion was shocked.
At this moment, the sound from the shore became louder and louder. There was an endless "peng peng peng" sound. It was the sound of ships hitting the artificial reefs. Following that, extremely dense arrows were shot from the sea. Screams were heard one after another. In the blink of an eye, half of the hundred soldiers in the temporary camp were killed. They didn't even see the traces of their opponents.
"Raise your shields and defend!"
The centurion shouted loudly.
A group of soldiers picked up their shields from the ground and formed a shield formation. They curled their bodies behind the shields and raised their spears to meet the enemy solemnly. There were no weak soldiers under a strong general. The army brought by Ding Xi and Long Qianlin was destined to be strong.
But this time, the opponent was far beyond their imagination. A huge creature descended from the sky with a whistling sound. It was a fire dragon. Its entire body was covered in red scales. On the dragon's back was a dragon knight in fiery red armor. Its cold eyes were filled with the desire to kill!
"It's over …" This was the old centurion's last sentence.
"Roar!"
The fire dragon raised its neck. Flames surged in its throat. The next moment, it lowered its head and poured the dragon flames on the crowd. The high-temperature dragon flames were terrifying. They almost instantly melted the shields of the Yihe Nation soldiers. They were burned to ashes along with their armor and weapons. In the blink of an eye, the temporary camp had been cleared.
"Lord Han Shu!"
A shout came from a warship in the distance. "They've buried submerged reefs at the edge of the coast. Many of our warships have already hit the reefs. What should we do?"
The dragon knight in the sky was Han Shu. He smiled coldly. "What's there to fear about a mere submerged reef? Get out of the way. I'll do it. "
"Swoosh!"
A figure shot down from the dragon's back. Han Shu's entire body was filled with godly power. A heavy punch descended from the sky. The space distorted. "Bang!" A shockwave erupted. Instantly, the surface of the water trembled. Countless water droplets condensed on the surface of the water and swayed. The pulsating impact spread out in the seawater. The submerged reefs hidden at the bottom of the water were all shattered!
Heaven Shattering Fist. Han Shu's proud technique quickly won a round of cheers.
The warships began to dock. After the decks were lowered, the cavalry and infantry disembarked. In the blink of an eye, an army was formed on the dragon-shaped island. At the same time, the huge dragon circled in the sky, roaring incessantly.
Han Shu returned to the dragon's back. He looked down at the army below and said, "When will the Marshal's warship arrive?"
"In the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn."
"Good! Quickly clean up the surrounding battlefield. Remove all the Yihe Nation soldiers. This dragon-shaped island will be the first territory our Blackstone Empire will conquer in the Shattered Cauldron Realm! In addition, send envoys to the capital of the Yihe Nation. Tell that old fellow Qin Yi that our Marshal wants to see him. If he agrees to surrender, we might let him live. Otherwise … we will raze this dragon-shaped island to the ground! "
"Yes!"
… …
At dusk, purple light shot up into the sky from the dragon-shaped island.
The Magic Crystal Cannons were huge cannons developed from the intelligence obtained from the empire's territory. Although the Yihe Nation's Magic Crystal Cannons were slightly crude and not accurate enough, their power was not much inferior.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
The shockwave from the Magic Crystal Cannons swept back to the army, forcing some of the weaker soldiers to retreat. Inside the trenches, Ding Xi was dressed in golden armor. He held his saber horizontally and looked at the sky with an ashen face.
That's right. Huge dragons were slowly rising from the ground where the Magic Crystal Cannons had just ravaged. Each dragon was surrounded by a blue cyclone of different shades. It was the Dragon Imperial Battle Cyclone!
"They aren't afraid of the Magic Crystal Cannons …"
Ding Xi's voice was trembling.
"What do we do, Commander Ding?" The Commander-level Battle General at the side had a livid expression. "The Darkstone Empire's army is extremely powerful. Although their numbers might not be much greater than ours, they have the Darkstone Dragonriders while we have nothing. How are we supposed to fight this battle?"
"We don't have a choice."
Ding Xi waved his flag and said in a low voice, "Send out cavalry to attack their formation. Use spears and kill as many as you can. The Yihe Nation won't just sit and wait for death!"
"Yes!"
The sounds of killing filled the air. The countless cavalry that the Yihe Nation had painstakingly gathered on the island charged at the enemy. However, under the roar of the huge dragons, the fate of these cavalry seemed to have been decided.
"Hahaha, are they here to die?"
In the sky, Han Shu laughed arrogantly. "Everyone says that Ding Xi is a famous general, but it seems like he's just so-so. Then … let this old man end the legend of this famous general today!"
"Buzz!"
He landed and punched the ground, causing the space around him to crack. Countless Yihe Nation cavalry and their horses were torn to shreds by the distorted space. The smell of blood quickly filled the air. The battle had become extremely intense.
"Kill! Throw! "
The Chihe Empire's cavaliers that were moving at high speed raised their javelins and tossed them out with a swoosh. The might of the javelins was shocking, and in just a single round, at least a few hundred cavaliers, infantrymen, and archers from the Darkstone Empire were buried on foreign soil.
However, the number of spears was limited. Once they were used up, the Yihe Nation army could only rely on swords and sabers to fight.
The Dragon Cavalry circled in the sky. Dragon breath and sword qi crisscrossed the ground, causing the entire battlefield to become unbalanced.
