"Report, we have entered Shizuoka City after three nautical miles. We have contacted Nishihorai and plan to enter the port from the west."
Soldiers in crisp blue uniforms loudly reported the latest situation. This is the core of the huge fleet, and all orders will be issued from here to coordinate the actions of hundreds of warships.
The person standing on the bridge of the main ship is none other than Liu Chong, who once "beat down" Li Mu. Now he has ranked first among the generals of the Cangyun Empire. Apart from his father Liu Yi, he has the highest reputation in the military circles.
people.
The three people standing behind him are also old acquaintances, including Liu Qingling, who is known as the Queen of Naval Battles of the Cangyun Empire, Pu Hui, who has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, and who once worked with Li Mu to defeat the "Blood" organization's conspiracy in Lishui City
The willow dragon.
It can be seen that the troops sent to Penglai Island this time are all elite, with the Empire's ace Eastern Military Region as the main team, and almost half of the generals who can fight in the Mesozoic era are sent. It can be said that they are determined to win.
"Send the order, maintain the defensive formation, enter the port one by one according to the predetermined plan, and ask those brats to be more restrained and not to cause any conflict with the people in Xi Penglai."
Liu Chong, who walked off the bridge, finally relaxed his tense nerves a little. The Cangyun Empire did not have that rich experience in naval battles, let alone such long-distance ocean battles.
Although a lot of preparations were made in the early stage, in order to avoid being intercepted at sea by Higashi Horai's fleet, the distant Shizuoka Castle was specially chosen as the landing point. However, Liu Chong still had to maintain a high altitude until the last warship successfully entered the port.
alert.
"What are you doing poking your head over there? If you have any farts, come over and let it go."
Seeing Liu Long who was hesitant to speak not far away, he immediately called him to his side with a smile and a curse. He still liked this younger brother who had a big age gap.
And Liu Long has never let his family down. Whether it is his achievements in fighting or the strategy of leading troops in battle, he is far superior to his peers. With his outstanding performance in the defense battle of Qinglan City, he has been promoted to
Lieutenant General.
"Hehe, brother, I just want to ask, is that boy Li Mu also in Penglai?"
When he was at the military headquarters, Liu Long happened to hear information about Li Mu. It was said that he was the one who finally promoted the alliance between Xi Penglai and the Cangyun Empire. He hadn't seen his good brother for a long time, so he naturally missed him very much. He took advantage of the battleship to enter the port.
, so he spoke up and asked.
"I have told you so many times that you are not allowed to call me big brother in the army. As for whether Li Mu is in Penglai or not, you can just get off the ship and ask him directly at the port."
Liu Chong slapped Liu Long on the head, then turned and left. Although he did not answer directly, he basically said everything he could say.
"As you command, General."
Liu Long was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would be able to fight alongside Li Mu during this expedition. He didn't know why, but as long as the other party was there, no matter how difficult the battle was, he believed that he would definitely win the final victory.
Li Mu on the shore was also looking forward to it. When he saw the giant battleships at first, he was shocked. After all, he had never heard that the Cangyun Empire had such a huge fleet.
I sighed in my heart that Huangfu Qing had made drastic changes to many of the previous stubborn problems during his absence, and was able to allocate resources and build such a powerful battleship group in such a short period of time.
"If we had such strength back then, those brothers at the East China Sea outpost wouldn't have to sacrifice themselves. We might have been able to stop Penglai's invincible fleet at sea."
Accompanied by the sound of waves crashing against the embankment, the first warship of the Cangyun Empire finally docked at the dock. The heavy anchor was slowly lowered, the huge sails were furled, and the imperial soldiers who had been waiting in line stepped onto the ship.
The land of Penglai Immortal Kingdom.
"Li Mu, Li Mu, here."
A familiar greeting suddenly sounded, and Li Mu quickly turned his head and saw that Liu Long was waving frantically at him on the deck of the battleship.
"Brother Liu! Are you here too?"
Li Mu expected that many colleagues who had fought side by side before would come, but he did not expect that the first person to meet him would be Liu Long. Although he was his elder in terms of generation, the two of them had similar temperaments.
Socialize like brothers.
Whether they are facing the evil city lord in Lishui City, or fighting against foreign enemies together in Qinglan City, this kind of friendship forged in the flames of war has long surpassed the nominal relationship.
The two greeted each other in the air but did not meet immediately. On the one hand, both Liu Long and Li Mu had their own missions. On the other hand, the troops would rest in Shizuoka City for a day, so they had plenty of time.
.
It took a full half day for more than a hundred giant warships to enter the port of Shizuoka City. In addition to the original troops, Nishihorai also sent a large number of personnel to participate in supply and preparation work.
After completing all the docking work, Li Mu finally had free time and took Xiao Taomaru to the military camp where the Cangyun Empire troops were temporarily stationed.
"Li Mu, are you here? It's been a while since I last saw you. I feel like you've grown taller again."
Just as he stepped into the camp, another familiar face appeared in front of Li Mu, calling him in a calm and clear voice. "General Liu, are you here too? It seems that His Majesty is moving this time.
Seriously, with you here, our chances of winning in the future will be even better."
Li Mu knew Liu Qingling's ability very well. She was on par with Katori, who was known as the female military goddess of Horai at that time. It can be seen that her achievements in naval warfare can definitely be ranked at the forefront of the immortal world.
The conversation between the two quickly attracted the attention of other acquaintances, including many monks from the sect who voluntarily followed the fleet.
Since the end of the Qinglan City Defense War, more and more sects have begun to realize that monks without combat experience cannot reach the pinnacle of the avenue.
Therefore, under the initiative of Yunlan Sect, they changed their previous style of being indifferent to worldly affairs, and instead devoted a large number of younger generation monks to experience in the world.
A considerable number of them cooperated with the imperial military, or simply joined the army directly, pursuing a higher realm on the battlefield and in life and death.
The effect of this can be said to be immediate. Many monks who were originally stuck in a certain realm have broken through themselves in battles.
The emergence of this virtuous cycle has given all the major immortal cultivating sects the hope of rapidly improving the strength of their disciples, and their trust in the imperial royal family has also increased day by day.
This is why when Huangfu Qing proposed to support Xi Penglai, the Immortal Cultivation Sect unanimously chose to support it.
Because they know that if they can successfully obtain Penglai Immortal Kingdom's mature experience in building a cultivation system, over time, more and more monks will break through to the Transformation Infant Realm, the Infinite Realm and even the Tribulation Realm.
The monks of the Cangyun Empire will truly get rid of the titles of poor, weak, and barbarian, and go to a broader world to pursue a realm that was unimaginable in the past.
Li Mu hugged these monks one by one, including Bai Jingting of the Zichuan Sect. This genius swordsman has now reached the full strength of the Transformation Infant Realm. He came with the fleet this time because he wanted to try to break through the threshold of the Infinite Realm.
The reminiscing meeting lasted for a long time until the loud bugle sounded and everyone returned to their posts. Li Mu and Xiao Taowan also followed Liu Qingling to the camp of Commander-in-Chief Liu Chong.
