Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396: Fireworks Bursting

Niu Ang jumped up, shouting and cursing, "Big brother, it must be that brat Long Fei relying on his strong mana, playing tricks behind our backs. Since he doesn’t follow the rules, we won’t either. Let’s immediately invite Jade Dragon Zhenren from the island, kill this thief first, and then talk about other things."

Jade Dragon Zhenren is the guardian of the island.

With a Soul Ascension Stage cultivation level, he cultivates on the highest peak of the island and generally does not concern himself with worldly matters.

He is Ji Xiaolian’s master and the strongest cultivator in Yunmeng Marsh.

Military Advisor Fang Qian, fanning himself, pondered, "According to the returning Yaksha’s report, it was three strange Magic Artifacts that sunk their warship. These artifacts have immense power; when they explode, they erupt into towering flames. Unlike swords or the like, they disappear after the explosion, and no one sees them being retrieved. I deduce that this is just the Government Forces using some advanced Magical Treasure and has nothing to do with Long Fei himself."

General Yang Xiong said, "Indeed, in chess, one doesn’t expose the old general before the battle even starts. We have so few cards in our hand; we absolutely cannot let the Ancient God emerge prematurely."

Everyone nodded in agreement, each harboring their own mentors in the background.

Without their masters’ commands, how dare they act?

This would imply incompetence, like children being bullied and running to parents to complain.

Ji Xiaolian pondered and instructed everyone not to send Yaksha for pointless sacrifices, but to sharpen their weapons, ready to engage the Government Forces in an open battle tomorrow.

As dawn broke, Ji Xiaolian took his men to the highest point of Snake Island early to survey the military situation.

As the sun rose, hundreds of enormous ironclad warships cut through the waves, like colossal beasts in Yunmeng Marsh.

No soldiers were visible on the ships,

only cold, ironclad long tubes whose purpose was unknown, with interiors as dark as rods.

"They’re coming!"

Fang Qian exclaimed softly.

Ji Xiaolian replied softly, "The enemy ships are fierce; this battle will be perilous!"

Fang Qian asked, "Big brother, do you have a contingency plan?"

Ji Xiaolian asked, "When we raised this venture that day, what was it for?"

Fang Qian said, "It was, of course, to cleanse the corruption of this era and give the people a clear and bright world!"

Ji Xiaolian said, "Then what have we done all these years? Because the island isn’t fit for farming, we loot the people. Waging war to feed war, earning the wrath of heaven and envy of the people, everyone sees us as bandits. This is contrary to my original ideals."

Fang Qian frowned, "Big brother, do you mean to surrender?"

Ji Xiaolian said, "The Princess is wise and decisive; upon arriving in Wuzhou, she overthrew Yi Zhongcheng and Sima Yuan and now firmly controls the situation. If they win this battle, they will rise even further, with limitless future prospects. If we want to avoid becoming stepping stones, surrendering to the Princess is our only option."

Fang Qian said, "Then why didn’t you say so earlier, but instead let people face the Princess in battle?"

Ji Xiaolian sighed, "Now that Snake Island is vast and possesses great assets, how can it be swayed by me alone? Without suffering a bit, how could our hundred-thousand-strong force surrender to ten thousand enemies?"

Fang Qian nodded without saying more.

He, too, felt that Ji Xiaolian spoke too soon.

After all, the great battle has just begun; how could millions fall so easily?

On the lake, the Five Tiger General Zhan Jun had already led the vanguard of naval soldiers forward, with a thousand warships surrounding Long Fei’s forces from three sides.

On the warships, the radar buzzed.

Without satellite navigation, the Yin Yang Sect’s Artifact Refining Division similarly improved radar scanning.

Replacing it with a detection array, it also emits detection waves with a scanning range of thousands of miles.

Enemy ships appeared one by one on the radar.

The ship’s cannons and missiles all locked onto their targets.

As the distance closed, Long Fei immediately ordered, "Fire!"

Woosh, woosh, woosh!

Hundreds of warships simultaneously ignited, shooting skyward like meteors, crashing down on the distant water bandit ships.

The sky lit up like a meteor shower, crashing down.

Boom,

Boom,

Boom!

The lake boats were instantly engulfed by explosions, with sky-high flames and rolling black smoke blasted to smithereens by immense force.

The explosions were deafening, shocking all around.

Tens of thousands of warships, crafted from the finest wood, their cannons unfired, sank to the lake’s bottom.

The lake turned into a sea of fire.

Groups of water bandits fell into the water, wailing and screaming.

Zhan Jun, full of vigor, had hoped for a swift victory, but in a blink, a thousand warships were shattered.

They hadn’t even seen the enemy’s face, now reduced to floating planks on the lake surface.

Fighter jets took off from aircraft carriers, swiftly rising above Snake Island.

Snake Island’s water bandits also had aerial capabilities.

They had tamed Giant Eagles, spreading wings of five to six meters, intending to drop Fiery Stones on Long Fei’s ships.

These Fiery Stones were filled with concentrated Fire Elemental Force.

Once thrown, the Fiery Stone smashes into the ground, causing a tremendous explosion, akin to a bomb.

This was their strategy for defeating the Government Forces.

Long Fei had long deciphered their tactics, with fighter jets taking flight, surrounding these Giant Eagle Demonic Beasts in the air.

The lake’s explosions had just ceased when the air’s explosions echoed furiously around.

Missiles from the fighter jets locked onto targets, wooshing towards the Giant Eagle Demonic Beasts, engulfing them in fire as they climbed to strike.

How could the speed of Giant Eagle Demonic Beasts compare to the missiles from the fighter jets? Bang, bang, bang, each explosion echoed.

The sky seemed to burst with fireworks, one after another, blazing into rolling black smoke.

The Giant Eagles were blasted apart, leaving not even a bone behind.

These missiles were modified, with warheads powered by Spirit Stone-driven Fiery Arrays, amplifying the explosion’s power tenfold.

The battle raged below and above.

Everywhere echoed with water bandits’ wails and screams, along with the stunned cries of their leaders.

The ship’s cannons and missiles locked onto Snake Island’s defense fortifications and lines.

With Long Fei’s command, the ship’s cannons fired again, delivering concentrated firepower upon Snake Island.

Thud, thud, thud, a barrage of focused shots.

The shells, like raindrops, smashed down on Snake Island in an instant, followed by a massive quake.

On Snake Island, the ground crumbled, smoke soared, mountain rocks shattered.

Nearly a stick of incense’s duration of saturation bombardment, with over a hundred warships firing tens of thousands of shells.

Snake Island’s ground sank over a meter, turning into a sea of fire, vegetation burnt to ashes, bodies everywhere, with tens of thousands of water bandits defending the front lines dead under the bombardment.

Ji Xiaolian staggered, squatting down, dizzy, "It’s over, all over, these are Heavenly Soldiers descending; we are no match."

Military Advisor Fang Qian’s heart raced, witnessing such an eerie battle for the first time.

No human encounter, and the war was almost over.

Niu Ang, leading over ten thousand elite troops, was supposed to be the vanguard, ready to face the Government Forces the moment they landed.

Who knew, the Government Forces hadn’t shown at all; the sky seemed to have collapsed, raining down a meteor shower that scattered them, unable to find a complete formation.

Niu Ang cursed, "Damn it, what kind of crap is this? Anyone left? Join me in the battle."

His furious roar drowned in the explosion’s noise.

Chu Feng and a few others followed behind, shouting to him, "Brother Niu, we’re here to help you."

Their eyes glowed brightly, wearing expressions of cunning smiles.
