"Pushpengpeng—"

The heavy artillery on the side of the warship kept firing, and fire tongues spewed on the sea surface. Then the cannon bombs exploded, causing a group of undead giants to retreat, but only hurt but not hurt. This level of offensive seemed to be tickling the giants. At the same time, fire eagles kept slapping down in the air, while the archers on the warship shot one by one, and in a blink of an eye, they were killed.

"Stay!"

The general on the deck was wearing dragon battle armor, pointed the sword blade forward, shouting in a low voice: "The second team of warships attacked from the flanks, launching shelling lines, and archers pay attention to the air targets!"

The fleet constantly changes its formation, sometimes vertical, sometimes oblique, sometimes geese, sometimes circular, and constantly refuses the opponent's continuous creation of land, but its overall strength is far from the alien demon legion. In the sea, countless ghouls and ghosts are swimming in the water, and are about to attack the fleet at close range.

"Damn it!"

The general on the deck grabbed the blade and shouted: "The spearman and the sword shield are under the cabin, ready to attack the enemy from both sides of the cabin. The entire fleet will slowly retreat and stretch the distance, so that they can attack too easily."

"Yes, Master Commander!"

...

At this moment, suddenly, a huge number of people slowly appeared in the sea water in the distance. They were covered with fish scales, strong and tall, and rose from the bottom of the sea. The highest one was even thousands of meters high, which was scary. They carried huge stalagmites from the bottom of the sea and threw them out one by one. For a moment, the huge rocks turned in the air and headed straight for the human fleet.

"Boom boom boom boom~~~"

There were loud noises, and some stalagmites fell to nothing, causing big waves all over the sky, while others fell directly on the warships. Some small and medium-sized iron-clad ships were severely injured and sunk almost instantly, while some giant Yang Fan wooden warships were even worse and were cut off in the waist. Countless sailors were wailing in the water for help. In a blink of an eye, all the water surface was covered with broken wood and people asking for help.

My heart was heavy. This fleet was the strongest East China Sea fleet in the Xuanyuan Empire. The fleet commander, the general on the deck, also met once or twice in the court. His name was Ding Yuchang. He was a famous general who was good at naval battles. He had defeated the fleet of the Daxiang Dynasty again and again in the East China Sea, and even had a brilliant record of annihilation of a fleet. However, he guarded the East China Sea for many years and rarely appeared in the court, so he was not familiar with it. So after I was promoted to King Xiaoyao, I had never seen this famous general with outstanding achievements in the water battle.

However, the battle in front of us is almost bound to be defeated. How can the Imperial Navy fight against the powerful demon legion with a strong army and an amphibious land? After all, the navy of the entire empire only has 300,000 troops, and the force of this fleet is even more difficult. Can it be defeated by a whole demon legion that intends to land in the land?

Obviously not.

Retreat.

I went straight down the sky and descended from the sky to the earth. I turned into a spark and stood on the deck of the flagship with a "swish" sound, and appeared in front of Ding Yuchang.

"ah?!"

The navy commander was as stunned as a group of war generals. He was so scared that he took several steps back. After seeing my appearance, he hurriedly knelt on one knee and clasped his fists: "The navy commander Ding Yuchang, see Your Highness Xiaoyao!"

"No gift."

I raised my hand: "Mr. Commander, don't be so polite. Retreat quickly. Here I'm just a unnecessary sacrifice. I'll send the entire fleet to retreat slowly, lay water and thunder on the sea surface, and delay their attacks as much as possible without huge damage. Then return to the port. If necessary, I plan to reclaim all fleets and incorporate them into Neijiang and inland rivers to avoid naval battles with the alien legion."

"But Your Highness..."

A deputy general clasped his fists and said, "If we retreat like this, it would be like giving up the imperial territorial waters directly to the Demon Legion. As a member of the navy, how do we have to return to the country?"

“It’s different.”

I waved my hand: "The Demon Legion came too quickly and had nothing to do with the navy. You can just follow the orders and retreat. If anyone criticizes it, just push it on me."

Suddenly, the navy commander Ding Yuchang laughed heartily: "Your Highness is serious. The failure of our fleet is because of the failure of our fleet. What does it have to do with Your Highness? Even if Your Highness does not give orders, your subordinates will order their retreat."

"That's good, go back to the port immediately."

"yes!"

"I'll leave first."

...

Returning to the sky, when he came down again, he fell directly into the side hall of the meeting hall of the Fan Book City. Unexpectedly, in the side hall, the new emperor Xuanyuan Li, the white-clothed nobles, the giant tripods and the Shanhai Gong Nangong Yi, and a group of civil and military officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Revenue were also there. On the scroll in front of the new emperor Xuanyuan Li, the scene of the war in the East China Sea was emerging, live broadcast in real time.

"what to do?"

Nangong Yi frowned: "The war in Beiyue has just ended. While His Highness Xiaoyao made great contributions, he never thought that the war in the East China Sea would start again. This alien demon territory really did not want our Xuanyuan Empire to have a moment of peace!"

"nature."

I sat down beside Feng Buwen and said, "When catching prey, you often have to exhaust the prey first. This is what everyone understands. Now the Demon Legion is doing this."

The new emperor Xuanyuan Li frowned and said, "Brother, are there any solutions?"

"have."

I looked at Feng Buwen and smiled and said, "But I want to listen to Feng Xiang's meaning first to see if it coincides with me."

"Can."

Feng Buwen said: "The original idea is very simple. Just make the Southern Mountains the success of the Northern Mountains. King Xiaoyao has the magical power to summon the ancient spirits of the mountain. We can also gather in the Far East Province. The mountains in the Lingnan Province are the Eastern Mountains. At the same time, it maintains several large rivers at the mouth of the sea, keeping the empire's water and land flow smoothly, and not being closed to the country."

Xuanyuan Li looked at me.

I nodded gently: "There are basically no big differences. As for the specific arrangements, I also thought of some things. For example, the highest mountain range on the east coast - Donghuang Mountain, was granted the Northern Mountain of the Empire. As for Guling Mountains, I will take special care of the seven sea estuaries, namely the Three Rivers and Four Rivers in the mountains and rivers of the Ministry of Revenue, namely the Zhenlong River, Qingfeng River, Fenglin River, Yulong River, Baiyu River, Feiyu River, and Qingshui River. These three Rivers and Four Rivers were originally already the god of the river. There is no need to re-authorize them. The first candidate we need to consider is the candidate of Dongyue Mountain Lord, which is crucial."

"Um."

Feng Buwen nodded and said, "The spiritual boat will soon descend to the palace. We might as well discuss this matter on the way to Donghuang Mountain. Moreover, there are too many mountain and water gods involved in the planning of Dongyue Mountain. We also need to inform the Donghuang Mountain Mountain God and the river gods of the three rivers and four rivers, so as not to blame our court for being too domineering."

"Can."

Not long after, everyone got on the New Emperor's imperial spiritual boat one by one, soared up and flew straight to the east coast. In less than twenty minutes, they had already arrived on a towering mountain. Just above the mountain, a middle-aged scholar, with a golden body, bowed to us. It was the original mountain god of Donghuang Mountain.

Unfortunately, it was just a Wensheng. His merits during his lifetime and incense were a little less after his death. It was indeed no problem to stay in Donghuang Mountain. However, once Donghuang Mountain was upgraded to Dongyue and became the leader of the eastern mountains, his merits and incense could not bear the weight of Dongyue. He could only change a person with fame and higher merits. In this way, the power of the gods that Dongyue Mountains could exert stronger. Moreover, this time it was not just Dongyue, but also the cooperation between the three rivers and four rivers. Once the fortune of the gods in the eastern empire was connected to a front line, it would probably be stronger than that of Nanyue and Beiyue. After all, it was too important. Once it was sealed by Dongyue and all the entrances and exits of the sea were cut off, the entire Xuanyuan Empire would really become a temple in the turtle shell. He could only talk to himself and isolate it from the whole world.

In the mountain god temple, the king and his ministers gathered together, and even the navy commander Ding Yuchang, who was in the naval battle, picked up the spiritual boat together.

...

The new emperor Xuanyuan Li sat, and the ministers stood, just under Qingsong in the mountain temple.

Outside, figures flashed, with men and women. Under my Shifang Huohe, these people had no "popularity" on them, only incense and transcendent Taoist movements. Obviously, they were all nearby mountain gods, Jiang gods, etc., standing in front of the new emperor according to the rank. I had raised my hand to summon the ancient spirits who moved the mountain. After telling them to move the mountain, they would not say anything more. They naturally knew what to do. So in the eastern territory, mountains rose up and galloped towards the Donghuang Mountain.

"Let's discuss it, the candidate for Dongyueshanjun?" Feng Buwen said.

A civil official bowed and said, "I elected the former Minister of Revenue, Mr. Hu Bailin, who died half a year ago. He was honest and full of talents all over the world. He is a rare wise man."

“Not suitable.”

I frowned: "We need a candidate who is good at fighting and dares to fight if he disagrees. Although the former Minister of Revenue was honest, he was just honest. What Dongyue needed even more was martial eunuchs. As for literary eunuchs, that was the matter after the empire was stable."

The new emperor nodded.

Some people elected several candidates, but they were all rejected by Feng Buwen and I.

After a long time, the new emperor Xuanyuan Li was tired, and waved his hand and said, "You all have to rest. Fengxiang, my brother and two great masters will discuss it again."

Everyone dispersed, and there were only a few people left in the whole yard.

...

The white-clothed Qing Xiangfeng looked at the sky, then looked at the earth, and smiled and said, "The rise and fall of spring and autumn is something that cannot be rebelled, and no one can avoid it. My Xuanyuan Empire, Nanyueshan Jun was Fuyugong Fengwen, and Beiyueshan Jun was Zhenyang Public Guan Yang. They are all very competent and saved the national fortune again and again. It seems that the candidate for Dongyueshan Jun is the best..."

"His Majesty!"

Shanhai Gong Nangong also clasped his fists and said, "I can only entrust the mountain god to be entrust people. The last general still wants to keep a useful body to serve Your Majesty. It is not that the last general refuses. As long as your majesty has an imperial edict, the last general will be completely unspeakable, but..."

"No need to say more."

On the side, the giant tripod Gong Yiping smiled bitterly, bowed to Feng Buwen and me, and then knelt in front of the new emperor Xuanyuan Li with his knees, and tears were filled with tears: "The three dukes of the Emperor Longwu period, Fu Yu and Zhenyang, have all gone. I am alone in the world and I am lonely... I have suffered a lot of injuries on the battlefield before. The new and old injuries combined with this life has long been hanging on the front line. Now, Dongyueshan Jun lacks a candidate. Who is more suitable besides me?"

Xuanyuan Li trembled all over: "Duke, you..."

"I'm leaving."

Yiping turned around and walked out of the temple and went straight to the cliff of the back mountain. The wind and I and I came with us.

...

"Drink the last pot of bar in this life."

Yiping threw a pot of wine to me and Feng Buwen, and drank a big mouthful of wine. He burst into tears and said, "Of the three masters, Yiping has the least military achievements, and only Yiping has survived until now. His sick body and body are useless. At this time, the empire needs me, so how can I refuse? Whether it is better, this is not disappointing the expectations of the late emperor. Your Highness, Feng Xiang, after drinking a pot of wine together, the giant tripod Gong Yiping went first."

Feng Buwen and I were speechless, just drinking wine sips by sip.

Today's wine is particularly bitter.

But when Feng Buwen and I were still drinking sips, Yiping had already finished drinking his pot of wine and threw the pot out of the cliff. Before we could finish drinking, we drew our sword "crown" and a wisp of blood splattered to the ground.

...

"The wind."

I watched the wind blow, and tears fell involuntarily.
