dawn of dynasty

Smoke filled the air, and burning fires and thick black smoke could be seen everywhere on the sea.

These are sunk warships.

Most of them were sunk by Shen Guanye and the attendant gods.

Although the warships consciously stayed away from the area where the two powerful national-level warriors were fighting, they also had strict protection.

But for Shen Guanye, Gu Jianlangjun, Long Yuan and others, they can cause serious damage to the warship with a casual blow, and the aftermath of the battle alone can cause great damage to the warship.

Large warships cannot be sunk by the aftermath of the battle alone. How can smaller warships be sunk?

Sometimes a shocking sword energy would pass by, and the warship would be cut off in the middle.

Not only the wreckage of warships, but also the corpses of heroic spirits were everywhere. The densely packed corpses of heroic spirits, large and small, almost filled the sea and river areas near Tiannan City.

Blood of various colors almost dyed the water into a sea of ​​​​color.

Yes, heroic spirits also have blood, and the color of the blood of different heroic spirits is very different. It is not limited to bright red, but red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and various colors.

However, heroic spirits are not real creatures after all, and the blood they shed will evaporate and disappear quickly over time, and will not exist for a long time.

Among these countless corpses of heroic spirits, there are actually a large number of human corpses mixed in, but compared to the countless corpses of heroic spirits that are generally larger than humans, the human corpses are mixed in and are not conspicuous at all.

From the horizon, several rays of rainbow light came flying towards them, it was Shen Guanye, Gu Jian Langjun, Long Yuan and others.

He had just gone after Watanabe Shuichi and the Fuso Kingdom's fleet, wondering if he could hold on until Gu Jian Langjun could use the sword that "pacified the world".

However, Watanabe Shuichi's timing of retreat was very good, and did not give Gu Jianlangjun a chance to activate the "Pingtianxia" sword. Therefore, Shen Guanye gave up after chasing for a while.

He didn't dare to chase too deeply. He was just a strong man at the national level, not invincible. Facing the entire fleet of Fuso Kingdom, if he accidentally fell into a heavy siege, he might still fall.

Of course, after a chase, he was not without gains.

In the end, he killed a giant frost dragon in Fuso Kingdom.

Counting the Shuten Doji he had killed before, he had killed two 14th-level heroic spirits on the opposite side in total, and his quick eyesight and quick hands had taken the corpses into the Kingdom of God.

But at this moment, Shen Guanye's face did not show much joy. On the contrary, his brows were furrowed.

Because compared to the results of the battle, Tianxia's side suffered greater losses.

He did have the upper hand against Watanabe Shuichi, but in terms of combat power at all levels below the town level, Fuso Kingdom had the upper hand.

Fusang Kingdom knew that he might participate in the war, so how could it not make more preparations?

In addition to Shuichi Watanabe, a powerful person at the national level, Fuso Kingdom also sent twenty more 14th-level heroic spirits, including the dozen or so 14th-level heroic spirits originally present in the Yanglong Strait garrison and the 14th-level heroic spirits under Watanabe Shuichi. Tier 14th-level heroic spirits, that is, more than forty th-level heroic spirits.

Even if Shen Guanye brought three 14th-level heroic spirits, the gap was still huge.

Therefore, despite the fact that Shen Guanye killed two 14th-level heroic spirits from Fusang Kingdom, in fact, Tianxia's side lost more 14th-level heroic spirits, five in total.

This is just a tentative battle, not a real life and death battle!

As Shen Guanye approached the dock and the coast, Shen Guanye's expression became more solemn and serious. The dock was severely damaged and there was no hope of recovery in a short time.

The corpses of heroic spirits can be seen everywhere on the shore. The city wall has suffered more serious damage, and the piles of corpses on both sides of the city wall are bloody, showing how cruel this battle was and how many people and heroic spirits died.

In terms of the number of 14th level combat power, Tianxia's side is obviously at a disadvantage, and in terms of combat power below 14th level, the gap between the two sides is even greater. Therefore, from a glance, Tianxia's casualties are much more serious than Fusang's.

This is because Tianxia's side has the advantage of defending the city. Without this advantage, the casualties will only be greater.

Unfortunately, even with the advantage of defending the city, there is no way to prevent the city from being breached.

In this world with extraordinary power, a fortified city that could last for a year and a half as long as there was enough food in the city did not exist in this world.

An individual's power is enough to destroy mountains, how can it be blocked by a mere city wall?

Therefore, no matter how majestic the city wall is, it can only bring certain advantages to the defenders. It is impossible to expect that hundreds of thousands of troops can be overwhelmed by relying on the excellent terrain and high walls like in the previous life. .

Not to mention that powerful Apocalypse and Heroic Spirits can destroy city walls, but without powerful Apocalypse and Heroic Spirits, wouldn't middle and low-level Apocalypse and Heroic Spirits be able to climb a city wall that is dozens of meters high?

The city wall is only an obstacle, not a natural chasm.

Therefore, even with the advantage of defending the city, Tianxia's side still suffered high casualties.

The two infantry regiments under Shen Guanye were relatively good compared to the others on the third line of defense, but according to subsequent statistics, they also lost nearly one-third of their men.

This is just human beings, the death and injury rate of heroic spirits is even more exaggerated.

There was no way, both sides had about the same military strength, even Tianxia's side had more, but in terms of number of heroic spirits, Fuso Kingdom had much more.

The reason why Tianxia was beaten was only a secondary reason because of his technological backwardness. After all, technology has not yet developed to the level of future generations, and its lethality is not that high compared to the heroic spirits.

The main reason for falling behind and being beaten is that the number of heroic spirits is too small. Compared with several major powers, Tianxia gave birth to lairs and heroic spirits at least a hundred years later. Compared with the Star Kingdom, which first gave birth to heroic spirits, it was even later. Hundreds of years.

During this period, how many heroic spirits can the major powers accumulate?

Such a huge gap cannot be caught up in a short time.

Tianxia's weakness in heroic spirits can be seen just by looking at the number of 14th-level lairs. In such a huge empire and boundless territory, there is only one 14th-level lair in total!

Even the Nile Kingdom, which is also suffering from aggression, is far behind!

Of course, you can say that this is because Tianxia lost several level 14 lairs in previous wars, but even in its heyday, Tianxia only had three level 14 lairs at most!

Moreover, they have only been possessed for a short period of time, and there are not many 14th-level heroic spirits accumulated at all. It is incomparable to the accumulation of hundreds or even hundreds of years by several major powers.

The Xia Nan clan's soldiers have a very high ratio of heroic spirits, which can be called luxurious, but this is compared with other warlords. However, compared with Fuso Kingdom, the Xia Nan clan's heroic spirit configuration is only average.

How could there be few casualties under such circumstances?

Next, Tiannan City began to clean up the mess, and Shen Guanye also left Tiannan City.

After this battle, Shen Guanye felt grateful to the five warlords.

Of course, this was only Shen Guanye's secondary purpose. The main purpose was to prevent Fusang Kingdom from capturing Tiannan City.

Tiannan City is Tianxia's important tax base. If it is captured by Fusang, Tianxia will lose a lot of tax revenue and the situation will become more difficult.

This is not the most uncomfortable part. The most uncomfortable part is that once the Fuso Kingdom takes over Tiannan City and uses it as a springboard to gradually expand, coupled with the linkage with the Yanglong Strait, a large area of ​​​​the sea will be covered. It became an inland sea controlled by Fuso State.

When the time comes, I don’t know how much effort it will take to uproot Fuso’s influence. Therefore, even if it was not a good time for the Xia Nan clan to enter the game at this moment, Shen Guanye still agreed to the request for help from Marshal Ling and others.

It's better to contain it from the early stage than to wait until the tail is too big and then target it, right?

Furthermore, this is also what Zen Master Dagui meant.

Zen Master Dahui had approached him privately, hoping that he would come to Tiannan City to take charge.

For this reason, Zen Master Dahui also promised a benefit.

Or else?

Now the Xia Nan Clan is still at war with the Po Warlords. Shen Guanye's involvement in the situation is tantamount to taking the initiative to confront the Fuso Kingdom, making the Xia Nan Clan face a situation of fighting on two fronts.

There is no benefit, no promise, even a heavenly being would not be able to say this, right?

Even heavenly beings who have descended into the world can't use their hands and arms to command people, can they?

I also want the horse to run fast, but I also want the horse not to eat grass. Just once or twice is enough. If the number of times is too many, even if Zen Master Dahui has the reputation of being a heavenly being, stop trying to control people.

The Xia Nan Clan has entered the situation, and Fusang Kingdom no longer takes chances and begins to deploy its troops in the direction of Xia Nan Province.

The movement on the Yanglong Strait seemed to give King Yan Zhao hope again, and the broken warlord who had been shrinking began to make moves.

However, these changes had been anticipated by the Xia Nan clan's military headquarters, so the only way to deal with them was to block them with troops and to cover them with water.

War does not happen overnight. It does not mean that a declaration of war is issued on the first day, and a large number of high-end combat forces are assembled on the next day to march directly to Huanglong and have a decisive battle with the enemy, and then the war is over.

Real war is much more complex and protracted than this.

On the front line, the two sides continued to exchange fire.

In the rear area, the Xia Nan Clan's strength is still increasing in an orderly manner.

Every once in a while, a large number of mountain gods, water gods, four seasons gods, and solar terms gods will be born to further expand the livable area.

House gods and five immortals have also settled in ordinary people's homes one after another. While protecting every household, they also bring a lot of income to the government.

The God of Tiangang, the God of Earthly Evil, the God of Six Ding Liujia, the God of Grass Head, the Yellow Turban Hercules and numerous non-god-like heroic spirits were constantly sent to the front line.

More and more people are offering their patron saints.

More importantly, as the territory expanded and the population increased, the benefits of Shen Guanye's original decision to locate the territory in the Nanyang Continent became more and more apparent.

More lairs are discovered, as well as various mineral resources.

The probability of discovering lairs and minerals is much higher than that of Tianxia, ​​and also higher than that of expedition teams from various countries.

After all, one expedition after another plunges into the vast Nanyang continent. How can its efficiency compare with such a large area and so many people?

The two are not of the same magnitude at all - give the great powers a little shock of the people's ocean.

A large number of nests contributed a large number of heroic spirits to the territory, and the discovery of gold, silver and special gem mines also gave the territory sufficient recruitment materials, so there was no need to worry about lack of money.

……

In the Nanyang Continent, a flying force from the Fuso Kingdom flew across the sky.

On the back of the flying hero, the soldiers of the Fusang Kingdom were chattering in Fusang and complaining.

They are scouts from the Fuso Kingdom, and they are conducting daily investigations on the movements of the Xia Nan Clan's army.

This is something that both sides need to do every day. It is not just daily investigation, but both sides also use their own methods to insert a large number of spies into the other side's camp.

For a world with extraordinary power, it is really easy to insert spies into the opponent's camp. There is no need to bribe or pretend to be a spy, just use extraordinary power to force them.

Many spies don't want to betray, but you are being manipulated by the other party, so is it okay if you don't want to betray?

Of course, where there is a spear, there is a shield, and where there are means to force people to become spies, there are corresponding detection means, but there are always fish that slip through the net, right?

And the reason why both sides take the trouble to do this every day is to determine the location of the enemy's top combat power.

Like a powerful person at the national level, if you are not sure about the opponent's location and he suddenly appears in an unexpected place, what should you do?

You can only catch someone blind!

Therefore, intelligence penetration and investigation work are top priorities and cannot be neglected.

The soldiers of Fuso Kingdom were complaining when suddenly, the swamp below broke open and a huge thing rushed out. These soldiers of the Fuso Kingdom were considered experts, and the heroic spirits riding under them were of high levels. However, they had no ability to resist at all in front of this behemoth. They were easily torn into pieces and then devoured.

Soon after, the behemoth returned to the swamp.

The swamp returned to calm. With a flurry of earthy color, the swamp showed subtle changes, and all traces were quickly disappearing.

In the blink of an eye, it returned to its previous appearance, as if there was no giant thing at all, and this giant thing didn't suddenly rush out of the swamp and launch an attack.

It was as if nothing had happened.

However, the disappearance of an investigation team would not be erased. Soon, the headquarters of the Fuso Kingdom in the direction of the Xia Nan Clan received the news and launched an investigation.

After some investigation, they found the place where this investigation team disappeared, and successfully found out the murderer, who was a flying dragon king.

Because of miscalculation, the Flying Dragon King's men were stained with the blood of many Fuso people.

However, no matter how powerful the Flying Dragon King is, he is only a 13th-level heroic spirit. To a tribe or a town, it is an irresistible natural disaster, but to the Fuso Kingdom, it is just a bigger ant.

Soon, the Feilong King became a corpse.

But the matter did not end there. The tragedy caused by this flying dragon king eventually led to the nest of a flying dragon king.

When Fuso Kingdom confirmed this matter, it was already three months later.

"Are you sure it's a Flying Dragon King's lair?"

A general from the Fuso Kingdom asked in a deep voice, but he could not hide his excitement on his face.

A 13th level lair!

Even for their powerful Da Fuso Empire, it is not dispensable. If he can successfully capture the Flying Dragon King's lair, with this merit and the merit he accumulated in the past, he will soon be able to take a step further! (End of chapter)
