"Bang—"
A fast-flying white-feathered yellow bird fell from the sky towards the deck of a medium-sized dragon boat, smashing various objects and blowing off broken wooden boards. The deck was covered with flying feathers and blood. The rider who was originally riding on the bird's back struggled to stand up, but soon a sharp gun blade was placed on his neck, forcing him to stop. The cold feeling along his skin made him dare not act rashly.
"Behave yourself." With that, several soldiers on the ship tied him up with ropes, and then forced him to drink some kind of potion that dissipated magic power and made people drowsy, and then took him to the cell in the ship.
The battle in the sky is still going on, but there are fewer and fewer White Feather Flying Cavalry still flying. They are all elites above Sequence 5. If they were among the common people, each of them would be a respected master. However, in the current confrontation between the two sides, they are nothing more than insignificant cannon fodder, and they can be easily damaged and killed.
Without the cover of these white-feathered flying cavalry, although there were still about 400 disciples of Kunlun Yuting flying in the air, their situation was very difficult. They had to keep flying at high speed from time to time, otherwise they would be pierced by the blue lightning that kept flashing in the sky.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the four Kunlun Yuting "immortal officials" who were the leaders led their men to fight and retreat, constantly moving away from the position of the dragon boat fleet, and then disappeared in the distance.
After chasing for a while, Gu Lie also asked people to stop and watch the other party disappear at the end of the sea level.
"Reorganize the warships and continue heading towards Yunmen Mountain."
"Yes." Then the dragon ship warships in the sky were rearranged, some of the seriously damaged ones were placed at the back, and the personnel were redistributed to balance the needs of each ship.
After returning to the flagship, Gu Lie entered the meeting hall on the ship and discussed what would happen next with everyone who came with him.
"What are the casualties this time?" This was the first question Gu Lie asked after he sat down.
"The casualties were minimal. We were in a panic at the beginning, which allowed the opponent's disciples to take advantage." One of the imperial celestial masters wearing blue-silver light armor answered. He came from the Fenxiang Guanxing Mansion and was now also the adjutant of the fleet, holding some command positions.
"During the previous battle, I carefully counted from the back. Kunlun Jade Court dispatched about 10 eighth-level Ascension Realm Immortal Officials, 500 seventh-level True Disciples, and the rest were fifth- and sixth-level White Feather Flying Cavalry."
"It seems that the other party is very cautious. They didn't even send out a sixth-level disciple."
"They probably don't want too many casualties. After all, the sixth-rank disciples are generally carefully trained inner disciples, and not every sect is good at air combat." A veiled woman shook her head slightly. She came from Ningzi Zhaoye Palace and was now one of the core members of the same group.
"According to our previous estimates, there are approximately 70-80 members of the Eighth Stage Ascension Realm in Kunlun Jade Court. After all, it is a joint effort of twelve families, so it cannot be underestimated."
"As for the seventh-level true disciples, there are probably between 8,000 and 10,000 of them. This number is also terrifying."
"Although it's unlikely that Kunlun Yuting will gather all its personnel at Yunmen Mountain, we must be mentally prepared. They may deploy nearly 50 masters of the eighth-level ascending realm, and even more than 5,000 seventh-level true disciples. This is an extremely terrifying force."
"There are nearly five thousand seventh-order true disciples..." An old man in the hall shook his head, feeling the strength of the Shangmen. He was from a faction in Huilu Continent and was recruited into the Dragon Boat Fleet because of his expertise in craftsmanship. The strongest leader in the faction had only barely been promoted to Sequence 7, but now in the face of the Shangmen, Sequence 7 didn't even have a name.
"The Shangmen sect is different from ordinary factions. Not only does it have an extremely complete inheritance, but it also has hundreds of years of accumulation of various resources and the assistance of the secret realm of the cave. It does have a lot of advantages." A man with sword-like eyebrows and heroic eyes not far from the old man answered. He came from Zhuzhan Huolianyuan and was also one of the direct descendants of Chifeng.
"This time, His Majesty has summoned members from the eight southwestern continents to join forces. Although we are outnumbered, with the support of the dragon boats, we may not be unable to defeat them."
At this moment, another man with thick fingers and a burly figure spoke. He was from the Longshu Xuejie Sect and was now the second most powerful person in the sect after the leader.
There are more than one or two heroes in the world. After Loran Hill gradually established a new dynasty or country, more and more powerful characters appeared among the forces that came to join them. Most of them came from major families, and there were also some self-taught geniuses who were unexpected.
Some of them are as strong as the disciples of the same level, some are extremely good at other unconventional things, some are proficient in numerology, some are good at writing, some are good at engineering design, some are proficient in alchemy and fire, etc. It makes people wonder where all these people went when the Plantagenet dynasty was in power.
"It's not that we didn't want to go out at that time, but we couldn't." This was the answer when Loran Hill asked one of them.
There are limited positions in the social structure. When others have already occupied them, other people will have nowhere to display their talents even if they have them. This is the case. What's more, most of these people have no power or influence, so it is naturally difficult for them to obtain resources.
For example, if the person who is proficient in numerology is used for calculation and planning of the country's finances and economy, he will definitely be a good hand. However, under normal circumstances, a position like Wang Chao must be held by a high-ranking official of the Chunguansi. How could they let a person with unknown origins and no qualifications take it?
The others are similar. Although the engineering design is good, without more than 100,000 manpower and resource allocation, no matter how good the design is, it can only remain on paper. The same is true for the art of alchemy and fire refining. Rare medicinal materials are extremely valuable, and which small sect can afford to support them? They can only make excellent products under limited conditions, and cannot cause surprises.
