"Overturning the Seas, Dragon's Saliva Volley!"
Zhou Yu clutched the Ying Long Legion banner and waved it. Strands of five-colored energy flowed from his body, a manifestation of his cultivation technique, the Blood Sea Big Dipper Five Energies Art. Over the ocean, this art was several times more potent than on land. In the void above, the Ying Long materialized, its wings flapping, stirring up hundred-zhang waves that surged forward. The Ying Long roared, and endless streams of yellow light imbued the arrows launched by the army. At this moment, the sky filled with arrows, like divine treasures unleashed for slaughter. Together with the rolling tsunami, they directly overwhelmed the vanguard of the Heavenly Treasure Sect's navy. With a thunderous rumble, each stream of light carried the divine power of the Ying Long, seemingly surpassing the Saint King divine power of the soldiers. Each yellow arrow possessed the aura of a Great Saint of the Three Thousand Provinces!
"What kind of creature is that? How can it stir up such mighty waves? Not good, retreat, and seek another opportunity to fight!!"
Witnessing the surging waves that rolled in, instantly engulfing several warships, Xu Fei was greatly alarmed. He extended his left hand, conjuring an ordinary immortal treasure, the Glazed Pagoda, channeling divine radiance to protect his million-strong army. With his right hand, he drew the Heavenly Treasure Sect's Profound Heaven Sword, its sword energy churning the heavens and earth, as layers of waves surged forth, clashing against the waves stirred by Zhou Yu!
However, compared to the waves controlled by Zhou Yu's army banner, the waves churned by Xu Fei were no match at all!
Moreover, the sky was still filled with those yellow Dragon's Saliva Volleys. Ordinary immortal treasure warships could barely withstand tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of arrows. Alas, under the overwhelming deluge of yellow light, several more warships sank, and tens of thousands of disciples perished in the Boundless Sea. In his stunned gaze, the Boundless Sea turned crimson with blood, with Heavenly Treasure Sect uniforms scattered everywhere. Cracks began to appear on the Glazed Pagoda in his left hand!
"Retreat! Hurry and retreat!"
He shouted urgently. This was a peerless immortal treasure, the Glazed Pagoda, yet it still couldn't withstand the sky-covering Dragon's Saliva Volleys and those terrifying waves. As Xu Fei bellowed again, dozens of warships turned their direction and accelerated away.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Han Shizhong roared. He stood at the bow of the ship, with three warships behind him, all crewed by female soldiers, each wielding a drumstick.
Upon his fierce shout, Liang Hongyu instantly understood. She waved her drumstick, and the female soldiers on the three warships beat their drums to encourage the troops. Han Shizhong, wielding his long saber, activated an ordinary immortal treasure. Although not a true immortal being, he could use an ordinary immortal treasure once a month. Now, channeling his battle saber, his aura was terrifying. With a single saber strike, soldiers on several surrounding warships simultaneously unleashed their full might!
This saber strike, empowered by an immortal treasure and united with the strength of a hundred thousand soldiers, was pushed to its absolute limit by Liang Hongyu's augmentation!
"Go!"
Zhou Yu waved his army banner, and with a sweep towards the horizontally slashing saber energy, a stream of yellow light was imbued. The power of this strike was no less than Zhang Dingbian's spear attack; it was utterly terrifying!
Boom!
Heaven and earth shattered, and the sea roiled with wind and clouds. The hulls of three warships were pierced by the saber energy, and countless Heavenly Treasure Sect disciples were consumed by it, exploding into pieces. Those not directly hit by the saber energy fell into the Boundless Sea and vanished from its surface!
"Damn Great Han Immortal Dynasty!"
Xu Fei, gradually retreating from the battlefield, watched the destruction of the three warships, his heart filled with immense rage and hatred. However, in this battle, he had also gauged the combat strength of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty's navy, which was truly formidable. Even with a peerless immortal treasure in his hand, he couldn't halt the offensive of the Great Han soldiers. On the sea, Zhou Yu quietly observed the retreating Heavenly Treasure Sect army, not ordering a pursuit.
At this moment, it was not yet the optimal time to annihilate the Heavenly Treasure Sect's navy. He intended to consume their maritime strength with minimal cost. The Heavenly Treasure navy disappeared on the horizon. The battlefield was left with the wreckage of twelve warships and the countless uniforms of Heavenly Treasure Sect disciples, drifting far away with the push of the waves.
Half a month later.
"Reporting to the Commander, the precise location of the Heavenly Treasure Sect's main army has been found!" Zhang Dingbian piloted a warship and hurried onto the main battleship to respectfully report to Zhou Yu, who was examining a map of the sea area near the Heavenly Treasure Realm.
To Zhou Yu's right, four banners were displayed: one inscribed with "Han!", a yellow banner inscribed with "Ying Long!", a red banner inscribed with "Zhu Que," and a dark green banner inscribed with "Kui Niu!"
"Oh!"
Zhou Yu slightly raised his head, glanced at Zhang Dingbian, and smiled faintly, "The time to annihilate the Heavenly Treasure Sect's main army has arrived!"
"Summon the three main generals and their deputies to the command tent for a council of war!"
Half an hour later, Zhou Yu was seated at the head of the table, with Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Han Shizhong, Liang Hongyu, and Zhang Dingbian seated on his left and right.
"Generals, the Heavenly Treasure army has now been locked onto by General Zhang. The Zhu Que Legion banner and the Kui Niu Legion banner have been integrated into my Ying Long Legion. Heaven, earth, and human harmony are all on our side. The time to destroy the Heavenly Treasure army has come. Generals, receive your orders!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Han Shizhong, Liang Hongyu, and Zhang Dingbian instantly rose, clasped their fists, and awaited Zhou Yu's command.
"Gan Ning, you will command three warships, carrying the Zhu Que Legion banner. Once the sea winds and waves surge, and thunder fills the air, immediately wave the Zhu Que Legion banner to summon the Zhu Que Divine Fire and burn the Heavenly Treasure Sect's warships!"
"Your subordinate obeys!" Gan Ning received the Zhu Que Legion banner, bowed respectfully, and withdrew from the hall. Zhou Yu then looked at Zhou Tai and said, "Zhou Tai, you will command three warships, carrying the Kui Niu Legion banner. When the sea drums beat mightily and the arrow rain fills the sky, wave the Kui Niu Legion banner, summon wind and waves, conjure rain, and harness the power of the Kui Niu divine beast to create a death tsunami and launch a surprise attack on the Heavenly Treasure army!"
"Your subordinate obeys!" Zhou Tai solemnly received the Kui Niu Legion banner, turned, and exited the hall, leaving the main battleship.
"Han Shizhong and Zhang Dingbian, you will each command five warships and lead your subordinate soldiers, forming the left and right flanks. Once the death tsunami subsides and the scarlet divine fire extinguishes, lead your flanks into the Heavenly Treasure army!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
The two bowed respectfully and withdrew from the hall.
"Liang Hongyu, you will command four warships and lead your subordinate soldiers. Upon my command, beat the drums to encourage the troops and awe the three armies!"
"Your subordinate obeys!" Liang Hongyu received the military token and walked out of the hall. Zhou Yu then exited the hall, walked onto the deck, and said to the deputy general beside him, "Pass down the order to the three armies: Set sail!"
"Yes!"
Instantly, the order was transmitted throughout the army. Six warships departed from the main force, heading towards the northwest. Zhou Yu commanded ten warships, forming the center of the army. Liang Hongyu, commanding four warships, led the way. Zhang Dingbian and Han Shizhong, on the left and right flanks respectively, commanded their armies to follow closely. All thirty warships of the Ying Long Legion were deployed, heading north, rapidly advancing towards the Heavenly Treasure Sect's encampment.
