Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2206 Naval Generals, Battle of Two Fierce Warriors

A navy, whose sailors and various support personnel make up almost a third of their naval forces.

Therefore, whether it is the Great Yan Navy, the Tianhe Navy, or the Yanbei Navy, they appear to be equipped with 3 personnel, but in reality, their numbers are all over 4.

However, the remaining people were not part of the military establishment.

A warship typically has only a few hundred combat personnel, and even the largest warships barely reach a thousand or a little over a thousand combat personnel.

With his two underlings and over a hundred soldiers behind him, Jiu Tao was virtually invincible on the battlefield where manpower was limited.

Although the two sides appear to be on a single battlefield, each colliding warship can be divided into separate smaller battlefields, making it difficult for them to support each other.

Under these circumstances, it is very favorable to have such highly skilled personnel.

However, although there are many fierce generals in the world, there are very few who can fight naval battles.

For most military generals, once they boarded a warship, let alone fight, it was a problem whether they could even stand still on the moving ship.

Not only Jiu Tao of the Han Navy, but Zheng Zishan of the Yan Navy did the same, leading a team to shoot down two warships.

However, these two naval admirals from both sides were clearly not going to meet so easily in a naval battle.

With a combined navy of 90,000 and a fleet of warships exceeding four digits, the probability of them encountering each other in a short period of time was extremely low.

However, if they don't run into each other, but instead run into their respective generals, then they're in trouble.

Wu Guotai, a top-tier general of the Great Yan Navy, Sun Zhonghua, a first-class general, and Yu E, among others, all encountered Jiu Tao, who was attacking the ships, on the battlefield.

Apart from Wu Guotai, who survived five rounds, the rest were basically matters that Jiu Tao could resolve in a single encounter.

Aside from these people, the others, let alone Jiu Tao, could be taken down even if his two henchmen joined forces.

Meanwhile, the brothers Yu Long and Yu Hu, naval generals of the Han Dynasty, also died at the hands of Xu Zishan.

The Zhang brothers, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, originally intended to launch a sneak attack, but Xu Zishan slashed one of them down instead. Zhang Heng, who was supposed to launch the sneak attack, was caught off guard by Xu Zishan's counterattack and didn't even have time to react.

Zhang Shun also failed to withstand a single attack, but at least he wasn't killed on the spot. Although he was seriously injured, he managed to jump off the warship and into the sea.

After a few thuds, they disappeared without a trace.

Zheng Zishan couldn't possibly jump into the sea to chase after such an unknown person.

Or rather, with Zhang Shun's limited abilities, he simply doesn't have the qualifications.

However, although Jiu Tao and Zheng Zishan, the two top generals of both sides, had not met before, as the casualties of the Great Yan Navy increased and the number of warships they could control decreased, the two finally clashed.

One of the two men wielded a crescent shovel, while the other used a broadsword. When they clashed, they both clearly saw the bloodthirsty aura beneath the other's weapon.

Now, without needing anyone else to identify them, their identity is already clear.

"So it was you, you old codger!"

"Death!"

Finally, a formidable figure arrived. Jiu Tao's eyes lit up, and he immediately charged forward with his crescent shovel.

"Ding, Jiutao Demon Soul skill activated."
The Demon Soul, a howling demon on the battlefield, its blade gleaming with frost, its soul suspended in the flames of war, a sacrifice to the eight wastelands—only the reincarnation of a great demon can awaken this skill. The effects vary depending on the individual, and it can be upgraded to the True God skill, Demon God. Effect 1: As the killing intent in one's heart increases, so does martial power. Each activation grants +4 martial power, up to a maximum of three activations. When killing intent is at its peak, this skill effect can be activated consecutively.

Effect 2: During combat, the opponent's strength is reduced by 1 to 5 points, depending on the strength of both sides.

Effect 3: During combat, if the opponent's skills contain words related to animals or beasts, and their martial arts level is lower than yours, then their warhorse bonus will be sealed.

Effect 4: During naval battles, attack power is increased by an additional 2.

Once the Nine Waves Demon Soul skill is activated, the martial power increases with the increase of killing intent in one's heart. Each activation increases martial power by 4, and it can be activated up to three times.

Current martial prowess +4, Jiu Tao's martial prowess rises to 116.

"Ding! Nine Waves Demon Soul skill effect four activated. During water battles, martial power is increased by 2, and current martial power is increased to 118."

Faced with Jiu Tao's aggressive attack, Zheng Zishan did not fight him head-on, but instead focused on dodging.

After all, the crescent shovel is a weapon of considerable weight. Although he uses a knife, it is not a wide, heavy knife like Guan Yu's, but a straight knife that is light and agile.

Therefore, they certainly wouldn't engage in a direct confrontation with someone who is clearly much stronger.

"Ding! Zheng Zishan's Divine Blade skill activated."
Divine Blade: The top-tier skill for blade-wielding generals, which can be upgraded from Blade Courage and Blade Might skills. The effect of activating the skill varies depending on the character. It can be further upgraded to the True God General skill, Blade God.

Effect 1: When fighting with sword-type weapons, attack power +4.

Effect 2: The more you fight, the stronger you become. Every ten rounds you fight, your martial prowess increases by 1. This effect can be activated up to five times.

Effect 3: When fighting against sword-wielding generals, if their base martial strength is lower than yours, suppress their martial strength by 2 points.

Effect 4: When fighting against non-sword-wielding generals, suppress their martial prowess by 1 point.

Zheng Zishan's Divine Blade skill effect activated: Strength +4, base Strength 105, Dragon Fang Blade +1, Martial God +4, current Strength increased to 114.

After dodging the attack, Zheng Zishan slashed his broadsword down onto the crescent shovel that his opponent was bringing down.

Then, he slashed upwards along the shaft of the opponent's crescent shovel, heading straight for Jiu Tao's wrist.

If he were to slip and hit the target, it could cripple one of Jiu Tao's hands.

However, Jiu Tao was clearly no pushover either; he immediately released his weapon, dodging the opponent's attack.

At the same time, he kicked his own crescent shovel, using it to deflect the opponent's longsword.

After regaining control of his crescent shovel with a backhand, he unleashed a powerful sweeping motion.

At this sudden attack, Zheng Zishan raised his knife to block, but was sent flying several steps away in one breath.

Both of them are formidable naval warriors, and both possess enhanced abilities in naval battles, so neither can gain an advantage over the other in this respect.

However, one of these two people is a mid-level Divine General, while the other is a low-level Divine General, and even lower-level one among low-level Divine Generals.

Therefore, the difference in combat strength between the two is quite significant.

After only twenty rounds of fighting, Zheng Zishan, the most powerful general of the Great Yan Navy, was already at a disadvantage.
