Mythical Three Kingdoms-Chapter 1436 - 1384: A Battle with All Our Might

When Zaliha received the lookout’s message and rushed out, he saw dozens of warships lined up on the sea in a long row and his face turned gloomy.

"Quickly send someone south!" After all, Zaliha knew what his responsibility was, to guard the Strait of Malacca and avoid being ambushed. Although it seemed silly at the time when he received this task, he now had to admit the Chief Priestess was very wise.

Once this place is blocked, and the navy ahead doesn’t receive the message, the fleet now appearing on the sea would be a major disaster for any returning Kushan Navy alone.

"All ships, break through with all your might if any opportunity arises, make sure to inform the fleet going south about the situation here! The ships in the rear should return to our country and bring back the news from here!" Zaliha flipped onto the warship and led ten warships straight out of the water village.

Zaliha now understood why Yano Lian hadn’t returned. Although he had various conflicts with Yano Lian, any conflict compared to the possible annihilation of the Kushan Navy was nothing, and personal honors and disgraces could be thrown aside.

[Why did I just think Yano Lian’s failure to return was his provocation. If I had been suspicious at that time, we wouldn’t be so passive now!] Zaliha’s heart screamed madly.

The ten large ships were arranged in a V-shaped arc, heading without fear towards the main gate of the water village, then stopped there. Zaliha was very clear, he was doomed to die in this battle, now what he could do was to protect his family in the Empire as much as possible.

If the Kushan Navy was indeed wiped out here due to his mistake, then even if the Zaliha Family had hundreds of years of glory, they would need to give an account to other families!

"Muhelei, when you retreat, send someone to swim back to shore and take the message back by land." Zaliha said to Muhelei, "I’ll send people to block the front. Take the remaining ships through the other side of the water village. I’ll try to hold them here."

"I will, if I can break through, I’ll inform the Brahmin of your performance." Muhelei replied solemnly.

"We share the same fate, but unfortunately, there are no roles in our fleet who understand Telepathy or Heart Connection, otherwise, at least we would know who our opponent is." Zaliha chuckled at this time.

"That idiot Yano Lian didn’t even send out the intelligence. If he didn’t chase after, given the current situation, if we risk our lives, we could at least shield him a bit, he could escape, and the Empire would avenge us." Muhelei sighed.

"Saying these things is meaningless now." Zaliha drew his longsword, looked at the arrayed warships ahead, and said calmly, "I’ll go first, if you can run, then run. As long as one of us delivers the message back to the country, the Empire will at least be prepared."

"Sound the horn!" Zaliha lifted the longsword high and roared, controlling the power of the entire fleet. The urgent horn was heard clearly in Gan Ning’s heart.

"It seems the other side hasn’t discovered us." Gan Ning said with a smile, "Originally, I thought we were already careless enough, but I didn’t expect them to be even more careless than us."

Before Taishi Ci could speak, Gan Ning’s expression turned serious, "But this is not our ability, it’s just our luck, we absolutely have to be careful in the future."

"All captains, heed orders, arm the Upper String, prepare for Heavy Crossbow attack!" Gan Ning laughed as he spoke. Although the moisture from the sea greatly affected bowstrings, those who fought in naval battles for years had their own countermeasures.

Moreover, even if no countermeasures worked, Nurturing could make the bowstring develop in their favored direction.

"Boom~" The dull sound of air explosions, after all, Zaliha was the commander-in-chief who sat in this position by ability, although due to a series of mistakes he lost many opportunities, the defense of the water village had never been reduced.

Half-man-sized stones were hurled by the water village’s stone throwers, and at the same time, Zaliha unreservedly mobilized all the Cloud Qi, a huge Legion Attack burst out from the water village.

Gan Ning acknowledged the opponent’s will, but that didn’t mean Gan Ning would go easy, he brought all ships to end the battle faster with the Legion Attack!

The azure Radiance emerged around Gan Ning’s entire fleet as Zaliha’s Legion Attack charged forward.

Ship coordination and defense was truly inexplicable if you didn’t understand it, but once seen, even if the nurturing direction of the ships differed, it posed no difficulty for Gan Ning.

Although it’s different from the Kushan’s self-adjusting type, with Gan Ning there, using Legion Talent to link, consuming Cloud Qi and Will to form a common defensive stance was still straightforward.

Zaliha’s seemingly grand attack, when slashed onto a blockade infused with strong Legion Will, resulted in nothing more than a slight indentation in the azure "egg-shell" layer, and Gan Ning’s entire fleet retreated several feet with no damage to any ship.

"Not bad, just that the consumption for the controller is considerable, indeed Legion Attack requires not only mobilizing Inner Qi but contending the Will of both Legions, and Legion Talent is inherently about transformation of Will and Cloud Qi; using it this way provides adequate resistance to Legion Attacks." Gan Ning quietly withdrew the Legion Talent, his face slightly pale.

"The downside is it consumes the main commander’s energy too much." Taishi Ci drew the Sky Piercer strapped to his back, holding it with both hands and said with a smile, "Don’t overthink opportunistic things, now watch me!"

Taishi Ci roared, the Cloud Qi in the sky appeared as though grabbed by a giant hand, slowly splitting into a Great Halberd, this was the ultimate version of Legion Attack, but on Ground Battle, no side had ever had this much preparation time!

"Take this halberd!" Taishi Ci infused the soldiers’ Will responding to his own Legion Talent into the halberd, just like Inner Qi Manifestation infused with Spirit for Inner Qi Refinement to enhance power.

The Cloud Qi Halberd, formed by the convergence of massive Cloud Qi, controlled by over three thousand men under Taishi Ci’s connection, capable of cleaving mountains and splitting peaks, at this moment was wielded by an invisible hand, fiercely hitting towards the Kushan Water Village!

"Block it for me!" Zaliha raised his left hand, triggering an immense burst of stored Cloud Qi in the water village, a dark blue distortion visible to the naked eye briefly enveloped the water village.

Zaliha’s right hand firmly clenched the longsword, releasing boundless Radiance, simultaneously all his escort emitted endless Golden Light, and he himself appeared as if a Buddha incarnate, absorbing infinite Radiance, his beard, and clothing shimmering as if gilded.
