Zhang Yu reached out, and the Cicada Sword returned to his hand in a streak of light. He stroked the sword's spine, and the light on the blade immediately disappeared. He threw the sword back into its scabbard and glanced around.
The surroundings were filled with scattered ashes and drifting grayish-white dust.
In the previous round of surprise attacks, nearly a hundred ships of the Frost Continent's main fleet had been destroyed by him and the cultivators behind.
He didn't chase after the remaining ships. First, the enemy's main ship had been destroyed, and the entire fleet had lost a unified command. The remaining ships were no longer a threat.
Furthermore, these flying ships were also military exploits. He had already accomplished what he wanted to do, so there was no need for him to snatch the military exploits that belonged to the soldiers.
At this time, a blue light flew from behind him, and then a dark blue metal giant appeared in front of him. It bowed to him in the sky, and a clear voice came from under the helmet, "Sir."
He recognized Mo Ruohua and nodded to her, "Be careful."
Mo Ruohua nodded and continued to move forward. Not long after, countless creations and armored soldiers flew past him and joined in the attack on the remaining Frost Continent's fleet.
In the main ship of the Qingyang Fleet, a soldier hurriedly ran over and handed over a report.
The vice officer took a glance and handed it to Cao Du, saying excitedly, "General, there's news from the front. Xuan Zheng and Xuanxiu have already heavily damaged the Frost Continent's fleet. The enemy's main ship has been destroyed, and the enemy's general has also been killed. Now our vanguard has rushed into the enemy's fleet. General, this is a great opportunity!"
When the surrounding military academies heard this news, they were also very excited. These were all military merits, and they couldn't help but look at Cao Du with eager and hopeful eyes.
Cao Du's expression remained unchanged. Since he dared to order the fleet to advance, he naturally had a certain level of foresight. He took the report and looked at it, then raised his head and said, "Order the entire fleet to advance as fast as possible."
"Yes!"
The military academies responded loudly.
Cao Du then said to Vice Cong, "Order Lieutenant Zhan to speed up and try to cut off this fleet's escape route. We must devour this fleet outside and not let them go back!"
On the other side, although the Frost Continent fleet had lost nearly a hundred battleships, they didn't completely lose their will to fight. However, they had suffered heavy losses in the middle. The entire fleet was almost cut into two, and they had lost their commander, so they could only fight in small groups.
In the beginning, they could still rely on their Xuan Weapons to support themselves against the creators and armored warriors. However, as the Greensun Empire's fleet began to join the battle, they could no longer hold on.
In just a short moment, the morale of the fleet had completely collapsed. The remaining flying ships retreated under the cover of the earth rampart, but in the end, only about twenty flying ships broke away from the pursuit and escaped back to the Mishou Realm.
Although they couldn't completely wipe out this fleet, the main force of this fleet had been wiped out, and the remaining flying ships were no longer much of a threat.
The Greensun Empire quickly received a rough tally of the results of the battle. They had obtained their first victory, and the morale of the entire army was greatly boosted. Most importantly, from now on, at least in the Mishou Realm, there was no longer any power in the sky that could stop them. They could move freely in the skies of the Mishou Realm without worry.
However, at this time, Cao Du still calmly reined in the fleet. He didn't disperse the fleet according to the military academies' suggestion. Instead, he still followed the previous steps, using the Xuan Weapons to clear out the earth ramparts in front of them and advancing one after another.
This move of his received the approval and support of many of the advisors.
After the fleet had advanced another thousand or so li, a wide and long white line appeared in everyone's sight. It drew a long semicircle on the ground, and there were many silver nodes in the middle. It extended to both sides, and the end couldn't be seen at a glance.
After the Mishou Realm was attacked by Zhang Yu last time, they began to build all kinds of fortifications and expanded the defensive range. This was the defensive ramparts and platforms they had built on the ground.
Unlike the military fortresses outside that could be destroyed in one hit, the ramparts here were built extremely sturdy, and could withstand the bombardment of Xuan Weapons to a certain extent.
If they were given enough time, they could build the defensive ramparts even further away, just like the strategy that the Greensun Empire and Greensun Empire had used against the Mythical Beast Taibo in the Wilderness.
However, the Greensun Empire and Greensun Empire had immediately turned to deal with the Frost Continent after defeating the Mythical Beast Taibo. Clearly, they weren't prepared to give them this opportunity.
Meanwhile, on a high platform in the Mishou Realm's ramparts, the old man with the tall hat and crystal jade armor stood there, gazing towards the east.
He first saw a row of shining horizontal lines appear on the horizon, and as the other party gradually approached, he could see that it was tens of thousands of silver-white flying ships. They were like white waves surging over, as if they could crush everything in front of them.
After looking for a moment, he turned around.
Behind him, on the wide platform, there were more than three hundred small altars. In front of each altar stood a fifteen or sixteen year old boy from the Shuang Continent. When they saw him looking over, these young people showed nervous and expectant expressions.
The old man with the tall hat looked at them and said, "You are all people of the Frost Continent with strong life potential. You should be the future of the Frost Continent, but the Frost Continent is facing a huge crisis today. The Frost Continent needs you to stand and save it."
He paused, "The Righteous Nation knows what you have done. After you die, you will return to the Smelting Pool and wait for your rebirth there. I promise you, as long as you do this well, then after the enemy is defeated, you will be among the first batch to revive."
After he finished speaking, he gestured again, and someone immediately distributed a silver knife to each person. As a youth from the Shuang Continent stabbed the knife into his heart, the rest of the people in the field also did the same under the urging of the soldiers.
The bodies of the youths fell on the altar, and then waves of black fog surged from it. One could see the shadows of the Tian Sha Generals condensing inside.
The old man with the tall hat looked at all this with deep eyes.
These youths had enough life potential. After their souls were sacrificed, they could greatly increase the power of the summoned Tian Sha Generals.
However, if that was the case, these young people would naturally not be able to revive. Therefore, what he said just now was naturally just a lie.
Next to the altar, there was an old man with a walking stick. He looked at the rolling black fog below and gradually calmed down, then looked up and said, "Xiang Guo, it's about time. Do you need me to wake them up?"
The old man with the tall hat said in a deep voice, "No, wait." He looked again in the direction of the Qingyang fleet, "Now is not the time."
The large fleet of the Qingyang fleet gradually moved forward. At this time, they were only about three hundred miles away from the Mi Continent.
Three hundred miles was a relatively safe distance. Mystic weapons would not be much of a threat beyond this distance. Even if they were shot out, they might explode halfway under the influence of the Turbid Tide, or they might even deviate from their course.
When the entire fleet arrived here, they were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they stopped here and adjusted their formation.
Cao Du asked, "Where's the fleet in the south?"
The assistant said, "Half a summer ago, they broke through the outer perimeter of the Mi Continent and are now gradually advancing. However, the Mi Continent's resistance is very tenacious. They've placed most of their aerial battle creations there, so the fleet's advance is not fast."
Cao Du glanced at the south. Flashes of light would occasionally come from there. Indeed, the battle was very intense. He asked again, "Is there any movement in the north?"
The assistant replied, "No, there are still no reinforcements coming from the Independent Continent."
Cao Du thought for a moment and said, "Looks like the Mi Continent still has the confidence to persist. You Ao, what do you think it will be?"
The assistant thought for a moment and said, "General, I really don't know."
Cao Du turned back and asked the advisors, "What do you all think?"
The middle-aged advisor cupped his hands and then took out a letter from his sleeve. He handed it over with both hands and said, "We've already made a plan in advance and have written it all in this letter. Please take a look."
Cao Du took it and opened it. "Great minds think alike." He stuffed the letter into his sleeve and said, "Pass down the order, all troops rise into the air."
After his order was passed down, the entire fleet began to slowly rise. The warships had the advantage in the air, so they naturally had to use it to bombard and attack the enemy from the air.
This was an incomparable advantage. Frost Continent had lost the warships, so the only things that could contend with them were the flying creations and armored soldiers. However, the creations and tens of thousands of armored soldiers they carried were not just for show.
After reaching the high altitude, the fleet slowly pressed forward like a thick layer of clouds towards the defensive barrier. At this moment, numerous flying creations and crystal jade giants flew out from the ground and into the sky, trying to stop the fleet's advance.
Zhang Yu led the cultivators forward with the fleet. Daoist Wan Ming floated over from afar and cupped his hands. "Xuan Zheng, do we need to take action?"
Zhang Yu glanced over and said, "No need, the military can deal with these. Have everyone recover as soon as possible. If I'm not wrong, there will be something that needs to be dealt with later."
It could be seen that Frost Continent's defense still had some order. At least there was no internal chaos, so there should be some tricks that they hadn't used yet. Especially since the north had been very calm and there were no reinforcements from the Independent Continent.
Frost Continent had two continents, while the Independent Continent and Mi Continent were each other's horns. It was impossible for them to give up on the Independent Continent. If they still didn't appear at this time, he judged that they were waiting for an opportunity.
The creations and armored sergeants outside the Qingyang Fleet charged at the enemies from the Frost Continent. The two sides were entangled in midair. The fleet gradually reached the sky above the military forts on the ground. As the hatches in the abdomens of the flying boats opened, huge dark weapons shining with white light began to fall to the ground!
