n“Are they a pair of phoenixes?”

n“Phoenixes? That’s an auspicious sign! We should report it to His Majesty!”

n“Not good! They’re coming at us!”

nAfter seeing that it was “phoenixes” that were coming at them, because of their admiration for fire and light, some soldiers in Fang La’s troops were quite delighted.

nHowever, their delight turned into screams in the blink of an eye!

nIt was because the phoenixes didn’t stop at all after swooping to the battlefield. Instead, they flew among the warships on Fang La’s side at a rather low altitude.

nSplash!

nWhen the red female phoenix flew by, its long feather tails simply brushed the sails on the warships and set them ablaze.

nHum!

nThe golden male phoenix simply flew across a deck.

nAfter it unfolded its wings, the high-temperature flames enshrouded everybody on the deck!

n“Ah, help!”

n“Run! Jump into the sea!”

nAlthough they did worship the Lord of Light and the fire that represented light, when they were truly caught in flames and their clothes were burnt up, nothing but fear was left on their face.

n“Everybody, don’t panic. We’re protected by the divine fire from the Lord of Light. This ordinary fire cannot hurt us!”

nHowever, not all the soldiers were scared of fire. The elite soldiers who had already become Extraordinary had flames popping up from the center of their eyebrows, which shielded them from the heat and flames on the ship so that they were still alive after the phoenix flew away!

nPop! Crackle!

nHowever, while those people could resist flames to some extent, the warship under their feet couldn’t.

nIn particular, most of those warships were powered by sails, and their combat abilities would be greatly affected when the sails were all burnt up by the phoenixes.

nBoom!

nHardly had the Extraordinary Rank-4 Quasi Commander said that when his warship was hit by a cannonball from an Iron Armored Warship.

nIt hit the arsenal of the warship precisely, and after an enormous explosion, the whole warship fell apart into pieces of wood on the surface of the sea!

n“Caw! Caw! Caw…”

nThe golden and red phoenixes flew across the whole battlefield and ignited a lot of warships, which were then sunken by the Twin Dragon Island’s attacks.

nOf course, not all of Fang La’s warships were vulnerable to the phoenixes.

nWhen the phoenixes flew above the golden ship which had fiery patterns engraved on the surface, a dark smoke suddenly rose to the sky from the deck and expanded into a black cloud above the ship, before it went at the male phoenix that was flying at a lower altitude…

nIn the black cloud, a golden-armored god, who was more than three meters tall and held a gigantic stick that had a pointy end, appeared.

n“Humph. It’s nothing but an evil technique. Let me take care of it on my own!”

nThe bottom end of the black smoke was connected to the center of the eyebrows of a brawny man.

nZheng Biao

nLevel: Extraordinary Rank-7

nRarity: Commander

nDescription: He’s Bao Daoyi’s disciple and a general.

nHe wasn’t a Mr. Nobody either.

nHe was known as Fiend Zheng in Water Margin, and he killed Wang Ying and Hu Sanniang of Liangshan!

nBoom!

nAfter igniting dozens of warships in a row, the phoenixes had apparently lost a lot of their fiery energy. The male phoenix was easily destroyed by the blow.

n“Haha!”

nThe barbaric general who had black smoke above his head laughed gloatingly.

nHowever, before his blatant laughter came to an end, the sound of the phoenix had echoed again.

n“Caw!”

nIt could be seen that the golden male phoenix, which had been destroyed by the golden-armored god in the black smoke, reappeared next to the female phoenix that had flown past the golden ship.

nClearly, the pair of phoenixes had some sort of power of resurrection.

nUnless both of them were destroyed at the same time, they would be invulnerable!

nFiend Zheng Biao was merely Extraordinary Rank-7, and he couldn’t ride a cloud to the sky like Gongsun Sheng could.

nSince he couldn’t do that, he could only watch the pair of phoenixes swooping to another warship and causing new panic!

n“They have already invoked phoenixes!”

n“Four Dragons of Zhejiang, where is your divine dragon? It’s time to summon it to help us!”

nOn the deck of the golden ship, the middle-aged man, who rode a white magnificent horse and held a long spear, watched the phoenixes that were flying among warships and the Mirage Dragon Warship that he couldn’t catch up to, and asked furiously.

n“Sorry, sir. Our second brother was accidentally killed yesterday, and we cannot summon the divine dragon with only the three of us!”

nThe remainder of the Four Dragons of Zhejiang, who were standing behind him, replied with embarrassment and fear.

nIt was because the middle-aged man was a very powerful man.

nHe wasn’t one of the four marshals, but he was as important as them.

nWang Yin

nLevel: Extraordinary Rank-8

nRarity: Commander

nDescription: He’s the Minister of War. He has a magnificent horse that can climb mountains and cross rivers as quickly as flying!

nThe Minister of War was supposed to be a civil official in the Song Dynasty.

nHowever, Wang Yin was one of the few subordinates under Fang La’s command who were capable of both dealing with civil affairs and martial arts.

nNot only was he very smart, but he was even a stronger warrior than the Four Marshals were.

nWhen his city was conquered by Liangshan, he escaped from the siege on his own and fought Sun Li, Huang Xin, Zou Yuan, and Zou Run at the same time without losing!

nIt must be noted that although those four people were Earthly Fiends, they were all capable warriors.

nIn particular, Sun Li and Huang Xin ranked second and third among the Earthly Fiends, only second to Zhu Wu, the Resourceful Advisor.

nThey were even better at fighting than some of the Heavenly Spirits who got nominated with their connections.

nHowever, Wang Yin fought them at the same time without losing.

nThat was an achievement that only Lu Junyi, who fought four princes of Liao on his own, could have.

nFurthermore, even the environments of their battlefields were rather similar.

nOne of them had to break the siege on his own, and the other was ambushed by the enemy and had to flee alone.

nHowever, the results of the battles were quite different.

nAfter fighting the four princes of Liao for an hour, Lu Junyi killed one of them and scared off the others.

nYet, after Wang Yin fought the four men for a long time, Lin Chong joined the battlefield, and he was brutally killed by them together!

n“You stay here and control the golden ship to chase after the enemy.

n“I’ll go take care of the man who’s commanding the battle with the phoenixes!”

nAs the Minister of War, Wang Yin was a keen observer.

nHe had already sensed that the phoenixes that Zhou Yu created weren’t just burning the warships. They were also influencing the whole battlefield with the trajectories and sounds of the phoenixes.

nAfter he said that, the Minister of War spurred his horse and leaped off from the golden ship.

nWhen he fell on the surface of the water, a sheen of white light appeared on the feet of the magnificent horse, and it simply galloped towards the guqin ship several kilometers away. He was apparently going to decapitate the enemy commander on his own!
