Late at night, the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom Palace.
Imperial Study Room.
"Bang!"
Emperor Guangde was so angry that he slammed the table and threw the memorial in the face of the Minister of War.
"This is the record achieved by your military department? This is the record that our powerful navy team of Seven Islands Sea Country should have? In the first battle with the Hailong Gang, they actually suffered such a big loss. What are the officials of your military department doing?
Of!"
"This is a shame! A great shame! It is not only a shame for the army, but also a shame for the entire country!"
"Minister of War, tell me how you fought this battle!"
"If word of this gets out, the people of our Seven Islands Sea Country will call you people idiots!"
The Minister of War lowered his head and said with cupped hands: "This is just an accident. Although we suffered a slight loss in the first battle, it will not affect our future victory. Please calm down, Your Majesty."
"Calm down your anger? How do you ask me to calm down my anger?"
Emperor Guangde said angrily: "Those scholars in the Holy Forest Continent are watching! They are watching the soldiers die on the front line one by one, and they don't know how they will laugh at us behind our backs. I am afraid that in their eyes, our Seven Islands Sea Country
That’s all!”
The Minister of War's chest rose and fell violently. He really never expected that the Seven Islands Sea Congress would suffer such heavy losses in this battle.
Not only was he defeated by the Hailong Gang, but he also lost a lot of face in front of the scholars in the Holy Forest Continent.
It is foreseeable that the scholars in the Holy Forest Continent will definitely laugh at their Seven Islands Sea Country.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I promise you that such an accident will never happen again. I will order the army in the name of the Ministry of War to annihilate the Hailong Gang at all costs to maintain the reputation of our Seven Islands Sea Country."
Shangshu said.
"Fart!"
Emperor Guangde scolded: "It is not to annihilate the Hailong Gang at all costs, but to exchange for the greatest victory with the smallest casualties. This is war. Do I still need to remind you of this military principle?"
The face of the Minister of War changed and he hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty is wise, I understand. I will convey your intention to the Governor and let them achieve the greatest victory with the least casualties. We will definitely not let you down!" Emperor Guangde said: "Convey my will to Geng Cunshan. If we can't defeat the Hailong Gang, let him come to see you."
"According to the decree."
A cold sweat broke out on the back of the Minister of War. He could definitely feel the anger of Emperor Guangde at this time.
…………
The next day.
As soon as the sun rose in the east, the Hailong Gang sent Ge Fanjiang out to call for formation.
Ge Fanjiang pointed his spear at the warship where Geng Cunshan was and said loudly: "You all listen to me, our Haiye has an order to give you another chance to choose. If you are willing to surrender the island and join our Hailong Gang,
We, Mr. Hai, have a lot of people, so I won’t take the blame for you, otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!”
His tone was very condescending, as if he was ordering Geng Cunshan.
"Presumptuous!"
Geng Cunshan said angrily: "You are just a group of pirates on the sea. You are not even a regular army. What qualifications do you have to ask us to surrender? It's really ridiculous!"
"Shut up!"
Ge Fanjiang said: "My defeated general, what right do you have to say that I am presumptuous? Who do you think you are? In the eyes of the strong, there is no place for a weakling like you!"
"What did you say! Who do you think is the loser!"
Geng Cunshan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, feeling that it was a great shame to be called a defeated general by Ge Fanjiang.
"Am I not wrong? Your navy team from the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom will be our Sea Dragon Gang's opponent? Ridiculous! Yesterday, more people from your Seven Islands Sea Kingdom died in battle than we did! And we also captured several of your islands.
A big warship, but you didn’t even take down a single one of our warships, so you still have the nerve to make such a fuss in front of us? This really makes me laugh to death!”
Ge Fanjiang looked at Geng Cunshan with an expression full of disdain, even extreme contempt and contempt, as if he looked down upon the soldiers of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom as if they were local chickens and tile dogs.
The generals of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom were furious and simply could not tolerate the repeated humiliation of them by the Sea Dragon Gang.
"This is unreasonable. This Ge Fanjiang is simply too arrogant!"
"That guy killed three generals of our Seven Islands Sea Country yesterday. If we can't kill him, how will the prestige of our Seven Islands Sea Country survive!"
"Ge Fanjiang, do you dare to stand up and challenge me!"
Someone roared.
Ge Fanjiang immediately responded: "Why don't you dare? A bunch of chickens and dogs, can they still be my opponents? Ridiculous! You so-called scholars, one by one, are all rubbish!"
The generals of the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom became more murderous.
They knew very well that the reason why Ge Fanjiang agreed to the duel now was because he wanted to build up morale before the war.
As long as the morale of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom is hit, it will be easier for them to defeat the warships of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom.
When two armies fight, morale always comes first!
This is a fact proven by countless wars over thousands of years!
"Come here! Kill him!"
Geng Cunshan roared angrily: "Those who kill people and cross rivers will be promoted to three levels in a row!"
"Get the order!"
Many generals said in unison.
But at this moment, a blue cloud quickly flew out from the army and arrived in front of the two armies.
"You are such an arrogant warrior, do you really think that our army is invincible? Today, I, Fan Rulong, am here to kill you!"
This person is none other than Fan Rulong from the Holy Forest Continent.
Du Ning saw that there was another duel ahead, so he immediately sent Fan Rulong to the battlefield first.
This battle is crucial. The Seven Islands Sea Kingdom cannot lose again, otherwise there will be no need to fight at all. The Seven Islands Sea Kingdom will soon collapse.
With the appearance of Fan Rulong, the expressions of many generals of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom changed drastically.
Scholars from the Holy Forest Continent actually want to get involved!
Is this really a big deal?
Does it mean that the dignity and face of the Seven Islands Sea Country must be restored by the scholars of the Holy Forest Continent?
This is a slap in the face!
"Presumptuous!"
Geng Cunshan was furious, pointed at Fan Rulong and said: "Fan, who do you think you are? You can't interfere here? Get out of here!"
A general next to him also said loudly: "Do you think you will be Ge Fanjiang's opponent based on your strength? You'd better retreat and don't affect our military morale!"
Fan Rulong responded: "Captain, please calm down. I have been ordered by Du Jun to take action. If you have any questions, just come to him."
With this sentence, the burden was instantly thrown to Du Ning.
Geng Cunshan immediately said to Du Ning: "Master Yunqi, what do you mean by this? Are you despising the people in our Seven Islands Sea Country? It's not your turn to take action in the affairs of our Seven Islands Sea Country! Let Fan Rulong quickly
Back off!"
Du Ning said unceremoniously: "We are both human beings, and the affairs of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom are the affairs of our Holy Forest Continent. However, I can sell you a favor. As long as you order the warships in front of our army to leave, I
What do you think, let Brother Fan come back immediately?"
"You..."
Geng Cunshan was furious. He didn't think that Du Ning's navy of ten thousand people would be the opponent of the Hailong Gang. Once the warships in front were allowed to sail away, wouldn't Du Ning's navy be in danger of being wiped out?
Du Ning does not regard the lives of his soldiers from the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom as human lives. Geng Cunshan, as the Grand Governor of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, cannot sit idly by.
"Du Jun, you are too impulsive. Do you think Fan Rulong will be Ge Fanjiang's opponent based on his cultivation? Have you considered the consequences? If Fan Rulong fails, it will have a great impact on our Seven Islands Sea Country.
This will cause a severe blow to morale. If our Seven Islands Sea Country is defeated because of this, you will be the sinner of our Seven Islands Sea Country!" Geng Cunshan said fiercely.
Du Ning said with a smile: "If Brother Fan can kill Ge Fanjiang, and the Governor prevents us from taking action, can it be regarded as suppressing the alliance? Can it be regarded as a seven-island sea country when it is clear that it can boost morale but sends others to die?
sinner?"
"Presumptuous!"
Geng Cunshan was so angry that he didn't expect Du Ning to be so bold and dare to say such words to him.
In front of all the soldiers, Du Ning actually challenged him openly. It was so abominable to deny him face like this!
"Please answer my question, Grand Governor!"
Du Ning was unreasonable and asked directly and loudly.
Are you the only one who knows how to give a high hat? I can too!
If Fan Rulong loses, I will be a sinner of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom.
If you win, you will be the sinner of the Seven Islands and Sea Country.
Do you dare to bet!
Du Ning has great confidence in Fan Rulong, but Geng Cunshan may not dare to bet.
That's why Geng Cunshan acted extremely angry and angry when Du Ning said those words.
"You...you..."
Geng Cunshan was so angry that his whole body was shaking. Just as Du Ningruo guessed, he didn't dare to gamble.
"Captain, please calm down."
A general said: "Du Ning doesn't know how high the sky is, so why not let Fan Rulong go into battle? Once Fan Rulong fails, we can find an excuse to attack Du Ning. Then the competition between our Ministry of War and Du Ning will naturally be won by our Ministry of War." Another general said: "What if Fan Rulong can kill Ge Fanjiang? Doesn't it prove that the scholars in our Seven Islands Sea Country are not as good as their Holy Forest Continent? The strength of their Holy Forest Continent's scholars in single combat should not be underestimated." p>
The former immediately sneered and said: "Who is Fan Rulong? Does he deserve to be Ge Fanjiang's opponent? He is just Han Lin. Three generals in our army have been killed by Ge Fanjiang. What ability does he have to kill Ge Fanjiang?"
?How about letting Fan Rulong consume Ge Fanjiang's physical strength. After he is killed, it will be time for our generals from the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom to kill Ge Fanjiang."
"Okay! This is a great plan!"
Geng Cunshan smiled when he heard this and said to Du Ning: "Since Du Jun is so confident, I will leave this first battle to you. I hope that the scholars sent by Du Jun can win the victory for our Seven Islands Sea Kingdom."
First win."
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, just watch!" Du Ning smiled.
The generals of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom also smiled and cast extremely contemptuous looks at Fan Rulong.
