“Come on! Move the stuff here!”

A moment later, with the assistance of the Xiangyang soldiers, all the stuff was moved to the warship that could accommodate hundreds of people.

“Done!”

Ji Ye moved his hand away from An Quan’s neck. The man’s throat, which was slit by a Yuan player during the battle, had stopped bleeding.

Thanks to the help of the wolves and the dozens of elite Song soldiers, they had secured a landslide victory.

Although many of them were wounded, none of their injuries were grave except for An Quan’s.

That wasn’t surprising. After all, Qin Yueyu and Wu Qiao were among the best players, and Little Dragon Maiden, Nie Xiaoqian, Aunt Ying, Shi the Third, and Zhou Zhiruo were Extraordinary Rank-5 and Rank-6 Commanders too. Even Shi the Fourth was not weak either. He was only a Quasi Commander, but he could fight Extraordinary Rank-6 experts with his natural-born physical strength!

Since Ji Ye’s side had five Extraordinary Rank-7 experts, the Yuan participants lost twenty men without being able to kill anyone in the battle. Only a handful of them was able to escape from the wolves with their equipment or skills.

“This is so much fun! I didn’t expect to see so many toys from the Yuan people…”

It was needless to say how many spoils of war were dropped after the death of so many enemies.

For example, the Old Kid was playing with a bamboo object that seemed like a musical instrument as if it were a whistle, and a dart made of similar materials was swirling in midair following the command of the bamboo object.

Clang!

Shi the Fourth, whose hard copper pipe had been softened and crushed by the palm of a female battle participant, picked up a pair of hammers that could trigger a mass of white airwaves when they hit each other!

“This spear is even more refined than the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword…”

Even Yang Guo also grabbed a silver spear that was originally half a foot long but could extend to ten feet long when the button on it was pressed!

“Why are you dawdling here?

“You will be punished according to military law if your unauthorized operation affects the battle!”

However, at this moment, someone scolded them angrily from one side.

The voice came from a warship that was larger in size and partly covered by iron.

A man, who had scars on his face and was wearing the Song army’s uniform, but whose personal objects suggested that he should be a hero, was speaking coldly

“This is Mr. Guo’s arrangement that has been approved by General Wang…”

Ruan Xiaoer looked at the man in the eyes provocatively.

“Humph. We know you’re dawdling because you don’t want your ship to be sunk by the Water Demons…”

The scar-faced hero sneered. Because his ship was moving fast, his voice was no longer audible after he moved away.

“F*ck you. When I sank the court’s ships as a ‘Water Demon’, you weren’t even born yet!”

Ruan Xiaoer spat out aloud.

“Sorry I failed my task, Master. I wasn’t able to take control of the navy of Xiangyang City!”

He turned around and said to Ji Ye, who was deep in thought, in a low voice with regret.

As a militarily-critical location, Xiangyang City had a moat. In fact, not only did it have a moat, but the city had been established right next to the Han River.

Therefore, it had a maritime force made of a hundred warships.

In the history of Chidragon, the food crisis in Xiangyang after it was surrounded by the Mongolians was resolved by freight transport.

The case was the same here.

Although the Song army wasn’t as strong as Yuan’s on the land, the Yuan army wasn’t able to completely surround Xiangyang City because of its maritime force. The Song people were able to continuously ship food and resources into the city for battle.

Theoretically speaking, this maritime force of about five thousand soldiers would be a trump card if they were used judiciously.

Therefore, Elder Meng and Ji Ye had picked the maritime force as their strategic focus during their discussion.

However, some accidents happened when the plan was implemented…

Even though the Twin Dragon Mount fort made early plans, the navy didn’t encounter many battles, and Ruan Xiaoer didn’t have many chances to prove himself although he was a Superior hero.

More importantly, Ruan Xiaoer had competitors!

A settlement with “pirates” as their setting also focused their attention on the navy after entering Xiangyang City.

Compared to Ruan Xiaoer who was all by himself, the settlement of pirates, which boasted a dozen heroes and players who were familiar with water battles, had obvious advantages. Their influence in the Xiangyang navy was already higher than Ruan Xiaoer’s.

“Humph… If my fifth and seventh brother were here, we would’ve taught them a lesson on the power of the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s navy!”

Commanding the warship to sail to Xiangyang City, Ruan Xiaoer said, not completely satisfied.

“The navy didn’t encounter many battles… Was the Yuan navy deliberately avoiding battle? Or do they have no navy at all?” asked Wu Qiao in confusion.

“They have, but their navy is different from ours.

“Their navy is mainly made of the Water Soldiers who have practiced special techniques that allow them to lurk for a long time in the water!

“In addition, they have a special troop named ‘Water Demons’.

“It’s said that the Water Demons are the best troop under the North King’s command. It’s not large in number, but every Water Demon is above Extraordinary Rank-5, and they can transform their body into water currents with a special skill.”

Ruan Xiaoer explained.

“Those Water Demons never surfaced; they only fought in the water. They’re best at sinking ships. The Xiangyang navy originally had more than three hundred ships, but the Water Demons have sunk a lot of them.

“Today, our ship is carrying food and weapons, so the Water Demons may take action. Master, I’ll dive into the water right now! The Water Demons will never go back alive if they dare to come!”

Ruan Xiaoer looked at the warship that belonged to the settlement of pirates and then grabbed his Tiger Shark Saber aggressively.

“No, you just stay on the ship. Those soldiers need your command.

“I’ll take care of the underwater!”

Ji Ye only shook his head.

“As it happens, I’m quite interested in those Water Demons.”

There was an eagerness on his face.

Based on his intelligence, those Water Demons were similar to the Shadow Assassins and were a special powerful unit above Extraordinary Rank-5.

Theoretically speaking, he would be able to get offerings similar to the Shadow Totem after killing them!

In that case, the Twin Dragon Mount fort would have two navy forces, namely “Dragon Teeth” and “Water Demons”, which would be very helpful, considering that the settlement was surrounded by the sea.

“Go!”

Ji Ye didn’t personally dive into the sea. He simply threw the Jade Dragon Sword into the water.

Then, he simply chatted with Ruan Xiaoer on the information on the Yuan people.

“Was the condor on the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s ship Yang Guo’s Divine Condor? Then, the man who carried the black sword and the girl in white were Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden?”

At the same time, several players were discussing the people of the Twin Dragon Mount fort that they just saw on the ship of pirates.

Although everybody was in ancient clothes on this Battlefield of Providence, which made it hard to identify the projections of heroes, it was very easy to recognize the condor that was even taller than an adult.

“How is it possible? I don’t remember the plots of the original novel clearly because of all the messed-up TV adaptations, but I remember vividly that Yang Guo’s condor is a hideous one.

“Besides, Yang Guo’s arm should still be broken, shouldn’t it?”

Another player expressed his suspicion.

“No, it’s indeed the Divine Condor. There are also Yang Guo, Little Dragon Maiden, Zhou Botong, Reverend Yideng, and Qiu Qianren…”

Another player, who was holding what appeared to be a monocular, opened his mouth.

“Seriously? It means that four of the Five Top Experts have been gathered there.

“How did the Twin Dragon Mount fort gather so many of them? Can we even play this game now?”

A player, who was wearing a floral hairband, sounded rather surprised.

“It seems that the rumor is true. The Twin Dragon Mount fort has monopolized the projections of heroes and wants to take over the command of the Xiangyang army too. They don’t want to share at all!”

A pirate player, who had braided hair and was holding a black cylindrical weapon, sneered and said.

“What’s the point? They gained the advantages because they accomplished the Ten-Species Competition quest faster than we did.

“Cut the crap. We’re already approaching the moat. Ready for battle!”

The player who was holding the monocular was rather calm.

“That’s right. We can get enough advantages by taking control of the navy. Then, we can upgrade our settlement to higher levels with the power of providence… However powerful the Top Five Experts are, they are just weakened wuxia characters in this world. Can they possibly compare to the Four Emperors and the Nine Red Scabbards from One Piece?”
