The sea breeze blows gently and the moon shines brightly in the sky.
The surrounding sea was shrouded in darkness on such a night.
Liu Xia stood on a bumpy battleship, looking at the stars in the sky, silent.
"Your Highness, the Nangong family's navy has been setting out for three days. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely pass by here tonight."
At this moment, Liu Liansheng stood on Liu Xia's side, cupping his fists and saying.
Today, their location is near Tianming Island, more than sixty miles away from Longya Gang.
If the Nangong Navy wants to pass by the Jiangzhou Navy Camp, they will definitely avoid it. This is their best navigation route.
Their goal is Yong'an Port, which is just a democratic port, but the canal connects Yong'an Port to Longdu.
Once they capture Yong'an Port, they can reach Longdu within two days.[
In the past few days, the Tianxuan Dynasty's troops have been pressing down on the border, and friction has occasionally occurred in the northwest border. The imperial court has mobilized various military posts to go north to prepare to resist the Tianxuan Dynasty's offensive.
In this way, they could successfully capture Longdu while its defenses were empty.
Once Longdu is lost, the Tianji Dynasty will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, the Nangong family will take the opportunity to counterattack. In this way, the collapse of the Tianji Dynasty will be a foregone conclusion.
And tonight is the key to the entire battle.
Once they are allowed to safely cross Longya Port, the navy in the north can resist them.
However, Liu Xia would not let their conspiracy succeed.
At this moment, there are about thirty warships around Tianming Island. However, these warships are very dilapidated, and some of them are floating on the sea, tilted.
When a wave hits, some warships creak and creak, and there is a real possibility of breaking apart at any time.
There are not many soldiers on the battleship, only enough to barely drive the battleship.
However, these battleships are not used to deal with the Nangong family, they are just fishing bait.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was already past midnight. I believe that the Nangong family's battleship was not far away from them.
At this time, a golden light fell in the sky, and then he saw clearly that it was Zhang Zong who was coming in a hurry.
"Your Highness, as expected, we saw a large number of Nangong family warships approaching fifteen miles away. I didn't look at the specific number carefully, for fear that they would find out. But it stretches for dozens of miles and is brightly lit. I believe it should be
The main force of the Nangong family."
"Very good, I'm just afraid they won't pass by here. Send the order and all the warships light up their lights. We must let them see us and raise the royal flag."
Liu Xia sneered.[
Immediately, all the warships lurking around Tianming Island lit up the trap stones on the ship, and even on Tianming Island, a huge bonfire was lit.
In an instant, the surrounding sea seemed like daylight.
As for Liu Xia's royal flag, it was raised high, and anyone with some level of cultivation would be able to see this huge dragon-patterned flag fluttering in the wind at a glance from three to four miles away.
After a while, a vast array of battleships indeed appeared on the other side of the horizon.
Looking from a distance, the lights on the ship look like a rising sun rising in the east.
Liu Xia couldn't help but clenched her fist tightly at this moment and said: "Go to sea."
Immediately, the main ship gave the order and began to issue orders to the other surrounding warships.
The well-trained sailors began to raise the sails, and the warship slowly left Tianming Island and began to approach the Nangong family's ship.
A great war began at this moment.
————————————————————————
Nangong Yongwu was lying on the bed fully clothed.
Because I had to cross Longya Port secretly today, I was afraid of an accident, so I didn't dare to sleep peacefully.
Although, he very much wanted to change direction at this moment, enter Longya Port, beat Jiangzhou Navy to a pulp, and then find Liu Xia and kill him with his own hands.
However, he knew that once the Tianji Dynasty discovered it, Longdu would be alert, and by then, their plan would probably fail.
For this reason, Nangong Yongwu felt a little aggrieved in his heart.
He took a deep breath, calmed down his inner anger, and closed his eyes peacefully.
At this time, he heard a rush of footsteps.
"General, an enemy warship has been discovered ten miles ahead. Exploration horses have been sent out."
"oh?"
Nangong Yongwu stood up without saying anything, and hurried towards the deck without even putting on his shoes.
Because he knew in his heart that once discovered by the enemy, the consequences would be disastrous.
By the time he arrived on the deck, all the lights on their ship had been turned off, and it was completely dark.
And he stood on the bow of the boat and saw that Tianming Island in the distance was brightly lit, like daylight.
At this time, most of the generals on the ship had gathered here, and everyone was a little nervous.
"General, the enemy suddenly appeared there. Did the enemy know our plan and send people there to stop us?"
Zhang Bishan, deputy commander of the Navy, said uneasily.
At this time, a spiritual master hurriedly descended from the sky, clasped his fists and said: "General, ahead are indeed the battleships of the Jiangzhou Navy Camp. However, there are only more than fifty ships, and they are slowly moving towards us at the moment."
"More than fifty ships?"
Nangong Yongwu breathed a sigh of relief. With more than 50 ships, they had enough strength to kill each other in a short time. Then, by pretending to have some evidence of looting by pirates, they could blame the pirates and leave quietly.
"General, I think that before they find us, we can change our course to avoid them. Unless we sail an extra distance, it will have no impact on our plan."
Zhang Bishan suggested.
"Well, I also think General Zhang's proposal is good."
At this moment, Zhao Wanzhi, who was standing behind Nangong Yongwu, also agreed.
"They are really cheap."
Nangong Yongwu said disdainfully.
At this time, Nangong Yongwu could already see the shadow of the Jiangzhou Navy warship in the distance. Just as he was about to issue an order, the second spy landed on the deck.
"Report, General. The enemy's warship just hoisted the dragon flag, so he took the risk to take a closer look. The other side is indeed the Jiangzhou Navy. Moreover, I discovered that Liu Xia seems to be on the ship."
said the second spy.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Who is Liu Xia? Needless to say, they all know it in their hearts.
The majestic Southern Expedition Army Governor, the commander-in-chief responsible for attacking their Nangong family, unexpectedly appeared here.
This is like a pie falling in the world, and Nangong Yongwu's heart suddenly begins to stir.
"General, Liu Xia is a cunning and vicious man. If he appears here alone, he may be deceitful again. It would be better for us to leave."
Zhang Bishan reminded.
"I think he only has fifty warships. We can consider rushing in and killing Liu Xia. In this way, the southern expedition army will lose its leader, which will be a great benefit to us."
Zhao Wenzhi took the opportunity to say.
"Mr. Zhao, this place is too close to the Jiangzhou Navy Camp. If something goes wrong, we will be exposed. Besides, Liu Xia's cultivation level is not low, and some of us may not be his opponent. In my opinion, we should avoid it.
That’s wonderful.”
Zhang Bishan insisted.
"Let's explore again!"
Nangong Yongwu was obviously moved. The murderer of his grandfather was right in front of him. If he could kill him with his own hands, how could Nangong Yongwu let go of this opportunity?
"General..."
Just as Zhang Bishan was about to speak, he was interrupted by Nangong Yongwu: "General Zhang, I know what I know. I ordered you to change course and avoid them first."
Immediately, the main ship began to issue orders, and a vast group of ships began to sail towards the east.
Zhang Bishan suddenly felt relieved.
What he was most worried about was that Nangong Yongwu would be impulsive and cause trouble.
Of course, what worries him the most is Liu Xia's cultivation. When he killed Nangong Xingchen that day, Liu Xia could be said to be unstoppable.
He doesn't put a mere fifty warships there, but if Liu Xia escapes, wouldn't everything be in vain?
It is better to do less than to do more.
At this moment, more than 500 warships of the Nangong family, large and small, have slowly deviated from their course and are heading east.
With the speed of Liu Xia's ship, by the time they arrived, the Nangong family's ship had long disappeared.
Nangong Yongwu stood on the side of the ship, clenching his fists, not because he was nervous, but because he was unwilling to do so.
"General, we are all saddened by the passing of the old gentleman. But if the general puts the overall situation first today, the master of the family will definitely look at you differently when he finds out. Besides, when we take over Longdu, we may not get revenge.
Any chance?"
Zhang Bishan saw Nangong Yongwu's unwilling look and comforted him.
However, at this moment, the calm sponge in the distance suddenly set off rolling waves, and then a huge whirlpool appeared.
Although the Nangong family ship was far away, it still felt the bumps caused by this wave.
Suddenly, Nangong Yongwu looked towards the imperial ship in the distance.
"roar!"
An earth-shaking roar suddenly came.
Suddenly, a huge figure appeared in the peaceful scene.
His body is as huge as the largest warship in the imperial court. Looking from a distance, he has nine huge heads. The hair all over his body is as brilliant as brocade.
Yes, this is the ancient beast that Liu Xia recovered.
Liu Xia knew in his heart that Nangong Yongwu was not so easily fooled, so naturally he wanted to make him feel that they were very sure. Liu Xia had been planning this scene for a long time.
The ancient ferocious beast suddenly appeared on the side of the imperial navy, opened its bloody mouth, and spit out a burst of breath.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky over Mingyue Island, and huge waves arose on the sea surface. The ships of the imperial court were overturned by the huge waves, and the remaining ships also fled for their lives.
At this time, Nangong Yongwu saw a golden light rising from the main ship in the distance.
"You evil beast, are you here to die today?"
Liu Xia shouted angrily while suspended in mid-air.
"Haha, I didn't kill you in Tianlin Mountain that day, but I found you today. Don't think about living. Just accept death."
Suddenly, the ancient ferocious beast exhaled.
Liu Xia immediately dodged, and then his handprints flew, and he immediately used the Sky-Subverting Technique, turning into a golden light and smashing it down towards the ancient ferocious beast.
The ancient ferocious beast did not show any weakness, and all nine huge heads began to breathe out.
Suddenly, nine black rays of light converged into one and collided with Liu Xia's Sky-Subverting Technique.
"boom!'
With a loud noise, Liu Xia was thrown away, but two pieces of spiritual power suddenly appeared in his hand, and they immediately smashed down on the ancient beast.
"Boom!'
There was another loud noise, and the ancient ferocious beast was suddenly thrown dozens of meters away, and hit the sea with a roar, causing huge waves.
