After gathering the power of King Huainan, Kunlun Yuting naturally also possessed a fleet that roamed the Yellow Sea. This fleet had many ships, including the fleets of the former Dongshan aristocratic families and the sea warships of the former dynasties.
Sparks rose slowly from the swaying surface of the sea, then bloomed, conveying information to the distance. At the same time, their warnings were also seen by the dragon boat fleet in the sky.
"Do we need to sink them?" On the deck, the captain with an inscribed longsword on his waist came to the side of the current commander of the fleet. The figure standing in the cold wind with his arms folded was exceptionally tall and majestic, with the golden dragon cloak fluttering behind him.
"Don't worry about it, just keep moving forward." His voice was deep and his eyes swept across the sea fiercely.
"Yes." Then the lanterns hanging on the dragon boat flickered, indicating that everything would remain the same as before, and they headed directly towards the headquarters of Kunlun Yuting, which was the location of Dongshan Yunmen.
After the people behind him left, the corners of the sturdy man's mouth curled up slightly.
"If it were me, I would naturally fire a few shots to vent my anger, but since Junior Sister Luo Lan has instructed me, I will just ignore you little ants." The lantern hanging on the dragon boat shone from high above at his profile, reflecting his well-defined face. He was none other than Gu Lie, one of the three heroes of the new generation of the Huangyu Sect.
Ever since Loran Hill reunited the Xiangyu Sect, he went to Qiumu Tonglong Valley to visit this senior brother and asked him to resolve the conflict with Senior Sister Jinhua. In fact, the conflict between the two was not irreconcilable back then. One of the reasons why Gu Lie left was that he did not want to implicate the Xiangyu Sect. Having a big quarrel and severing relations, splitting and weakening the sect, could instead dispel the doubts of outsiders and make the Xiangyu Sect no longer feared by the dynasty.
Compared to the gentler Jinhua and Luolan, Gu Lie is not the kind of person who is easily soft-hearted. Before he climbed Luolan Hill, he traveled around the world, visiting and competing with various major masters. His fame was largely earned through fighting. Although most of the competitions were friendly, there were also some factions that were too embarrassed to admit their shame and were jealous and disgusted with them. However, relying on his wide range of friends and strong strength, Gu Lie always managed to escape unscathed.
During the construction of the Xiangyu Sect's dragon ship, Loran Hill considered who would lead the fleet. Although her own identity was the most suitable, her energy was limited. Apart from her, the most suitable person in the sect was the eldest brother Gu Lie.
Most of the members of this group of dragon boat warships came from Huiluzhou and the Four Sects of Xuanwu, among which the majority were from the Xiangyu Sect. Gu Lie not only had prestige within the Xiangyu Sect, but many people in the Four Sects of Xuanwu also admired him, among whom Qiumu Bronze Dragon Valley had the most. It could be said that if Loran Hill had not returned, Gu Lie might have taken over the position of the head of Qiumu Bronze Dragon Valley.
Time slowly approached noon. After a day of full-speed sailing, the fleet had now entered the central part of the Yellow Sea. If they continued at this moderate speed, they would reach Yunmen Mountain around midnight. This was the plan, but looking at the gradually emerging clouds and figures on the horizon, it didn't seem to be going smoothly.
Members of Kunlun Yuting arrived.
Flocks of birds with white downy owl feathers flew, each as large as two men. Aboard them sat cavalrymen in white cloth armor, likely part of the former Eastern Frontier Army. The large birds they rode were called Yellow Birds, with owl-like heads and white feathers, so named because they were commonly seen around the Yellow Sea.
Although the combat effectiveness of such White Feather Flying Cavalry is not as good as the Dynasty's Dragon Cavalry, it is also a very good supplement to combat power. Its advantage is that it is easy to train and there are many of them.
With their backs to the gradually rising winter sun, about five thousand white-feathered cavalrymen covered most of the sky and rushed towards the dragon boat warship that was coming across the sea. Among them were many disciples of Kunlun Yuting, who were hiding among them. Under the cover of these cavalrymen, they approached the dragon boat.
On the deck of the flagship, Gu Lie looked at the enemies appearing above the sea. Instead of being surprised, he was full of fighting spirit. He thought that these people could be used to verify the strength of the dragon ship battleship.
"Slow down, raise the red feather long sail, and deploy the Fire Phoenix Covering the Sky formation!"
“Here!”
At the command, the dragon boat warship in front opened the sails and oars on both sides like fish fins. The colorless flames spewing from the stern gradually subsided, the speed slowly decreased, and the sails and oars began to be covered with red glow.
Heat waves rolled around their ears, and the members on the deck could feel the scorching breath coming from the sails and oars on both sides. They felt a bit of anticipation and uneasiness in their hearts. Although they believed in their own strength, they were still a little nervous as it was their first official battle.
"put!"
As the commander at the bow gave the order, the sails and oars on both sides burst into brilliant and dazzling waves of fire, and then they were waved forward. About a dozen dragon boat warships were ignited at the same time, and red flames rushed out, gathering into a burning phoenix in the sky and flying forward.
The fire phoenix screamed and rushed forward with burning wings. Countless white-feathered cavalry in the sky were unable to dodge and turned into fireballs in the air and fell into the sea.
Feathers of flames and scorched earth fell from the sky. The suffocating heat wave was like a wall, making it difficult for the cavalrymen approaching head-on to move forward. It was like being in a high-temperature hell. They could only struggle to fall rapidly from the sky to avoid being burned to death by the scorching breath in their lungs.
In the first confrontation, Kunlun Yuting lost nearly one-third of its flying cavalry, and the hidden and dodging disciples among them were also revealed, frowning as they looked at the dragon boat warship floating in the air.
Seeing that the frontal attack was not going well, the members of Kunlun Yuting quickly dispersed, and the remaining flying cavalry turned into scattered individuals and flew in all directions, and then tried to attack these dragon boats from other corners in all directions.
Gu Lie watched this scene on the flagship and slowly shook his head.
"Since you can think of this, we will naturally be prepared."
"Qingxiao lightning, get ready."
