The news of the appearance of dragon bones instantly shocked the people on the shore! Everyone rushed out from the boats and tents, looking towards the thundering sea. There were indeed dragon bones, floating and sinking amidst the storm, as if they had come to life.
Thats really dragon bones! Ive seen it with my own eyes!
On that day, it flew away like this, and now it has returned!
My luck has come! Haha
Dragon bones! Im coming!
Everyone went crazy and rushed towards the sea. Countless ships, disregarding the howling sea winds and surging waves, set sail.
Some warriors couldnt wait and jumped into the sea to swim towards the dragon bones.
People from the Great Wu also rushed out, but they didnt act rashly; they looked to Lin Beifan, waiting for his command. Lin Beifan calmly said, Dont be in a hurry, dragon bones are not so easily obtained.
Yes, Supreme Commander!
As they spoke, the floating dragon bones slowly rose into the air, concealed within the dark clouds. At this moment, the wind gradually calmed, the rain stopped, and the waves subsided. The dark clouds gradually dissipated, leaving only a bright moon in the sky.
The dragon bones also disappeared, leaving people feeling melancholic.
However, from that night onwards, news of the dragon bones appearing in the South Sea spread rapidly.
At the coast of the East Sea, near the South Sea, there really are dragon bones!
At that time, accompanied by storms, thunder, and lightning, the dragon bones drifted down from the sky, a truly awe-inspiring sight!
All the people on the shore witnessed this miracle and rushed into the sea, going crazy!
However, its regrettable that the dragon bones disappeared in less than a cup of teas time, leaving everyone disappointed!
But based on the signs of the dragon bones appearing, it seems they will continue to emerge!
The appearance of the dragon bones truly stirred various factions into action, and they sent out experts. Its said that after the Great Xia Dynasty received this news, they immediately dispatched 100,000 navy troops, heading to seize the dragon bones. The Great Yan Dynasty went even further, sending 100,000 navy troops and 200,000 infantry, totaling 500,000 soldiers, gathering in the South Sea.
Only the Great Wu Dynasty, sandwiched in between, didnt make many moves.
At the coast of the East Sea, experts gathered. There were too many innate warriors to count, and even occasionally, you could see a couple of grandmaster-level experts.
On the sea, ships filled the deep grooves, presenting a bustling scene of competing vessels.
Everyone was fervently searching for the dragon bones.
Among them, the location where the dragon bones had disappeared was especially crowded with many experts and ships, but at this moment, tensions were running high.
This is the territory of our Great Yan in the sea. Without His Majestys orders, no one is allowed to approach! I advise you to leave quickly, you may still save your lives, otherwise, dont blame us for being ruthless! A general of Great Yan stood on a large dragon-headed ship, confronting powerful enemies from all directions.
Behind him were densely packed large ships, filled with soldiers holding crossbows and arrows. These were all soldiers of the Great Yan Navy, numbering 200,000, with ships numbering in the tens of thousands.
Why should we not be allowed to pass?
You all just want to monopolize the dragon bones, weve seen through your intentions!
Dragon bones belong to the virtuous!
Dont be afraid, were in this together!
They shouted, standing their ground.
The general of Great Yan narrowed his eyes, raised his sword, and warned, If you dont retreat now, I wont be polite!
Hah! The soldiers behind him were all prepared for battle. Various experts showed signs of fear.
Most of them were martial artists accustomed to fighting on land, and naval warfare was disadvantageous for them.
At that moment, a fleet hurriedly arrived. The Great Xia Navy is here!
This fleet that rushed over was the Great Xia Navy, with a total force of 150,000 soldiers. While smaller in scale than Great Yans forces, they were not to be underestimated. This imposing fleet quickly sailed across the sea and entered the South Sea territory, confronting the Great Yan Navy.
The general of Great Yan wore a grave expression and loudly declared, This is the territory of Great Yan in the sea! Anyone who violates this order and enters will be considered an invader! You Great Xia Navy, quickly withdraw, and I wont hold it against you!
Great Yans sea territory? What a joke! The Great Xia general laughed. Ive never heard of territories in the sea! I advise you to step aside, or I can lead my fleet to break through!
You dare! The Great Yan general angrily retorted.
Why wouldnt I dare? The Great Xia general laughed heartily. Heroes, the dragon bones are right ahead! This is a priceless treasure; lets charge together!
Good! The old general is right! Everyone cheered.
With this, the Great Xia Navy, combined with various miscellaneous ships, had a greater strength than the Great Yan Navy. The General of Great Yan realized this was turning against them. They hadnt even found the dragon bones, yet they were losing troops. How would they face the Emperor?
The General of Great Yan shouted, Wait! The dragon bones havent appeared yet, and were already fighting among ourselves. This will only benefit the Great Wu!
Then what do you suggest? My troops need to enter the South Sea to search for the dragon bones! the Great Xia general insisted.
Thats right, we need to enter the South Sea. If you dont let us through, well fight!
It was now clear to everyone that the Great Wus people were watching from the shore. If both sides suffered losses and the Great Wu took advantage, they would be at a disadvantage.
You must let us pass, or we wont be polite!
Whether its war or peace, you decide!
The General of Great Yan was very helpless. After careful consideration, he reluctantly agreed to allow a small portion of the ships to enter.
This temporarily eased the tension. If the dragon bones appeared, they could quickly assemble a larger force and eliminate this small contingent, securing the dragon bones.
At this moment, no one wanted to engage in a conflict, so they followed the plan. Both sides remained peaceful for now.
On the shore, Lin Beifan smiled and said, Generals, I think its time for us to take action!
The generals eyes lit up. Supreme Commander, what should we do?
Lin Beifan whispered, The method is simple. Infiltrate the two opposing camps in disguise as their people, then wait for the right moment to strike, creating discord among them
The generals nodded in agreement and immediately put the plan into action.
Once again, the night fell, and many ships returned to rest, planning to continue the search for the dragon bones on the next day.
At this moment, the weather suddenly changed, and strong winds swept across the sea, whipping up terrifying waves. The sky became densely overcast, and lightning and thunder followed, followed by heavy rain pouring down.
Amidst this eerie weather, a colossal entity intermittently appeared in the South Sea.
As soon as everyone saw this object, they were filled with excitement.
Dragon bones! Its dragon bones!
Dragon bones have reappeared!
Quick, chase after it!
Once again, everyone went mad, heading toward the location of the Great Yan Navy.
The General of Great Yan saw this scene, feeling a mix of joy and headache. He was delighted because the dragon bones had indeed appeared, and they were now in his navys territory, giving them a better chance to obtain the dragon bones than others. However, he was also worried because everyone else was converging on the location. How could they fend them off?
Never mind that, lets get the dragon bones first!
The General of Great Yan led a fleet to seize the dragon bones and left another fleet to block the others.
The arriving fleets quickly engaged the Great Yan Navy in battle. One side desperately advanced, while the other side desperately obstructed, with neither willing to yield. They fought fiercely, and the day turned into night, with no light from the sun or the moon.
One ship after another collapsed, and soldiers on the ships fell into the water.
The generals of Great Wu mixed in between the two armies, attacking each other and increasing casualties on both sides.
Of course, many experts broke through layers of barriers and rode the waves, racing to seize the dragon bones. Many had caught up with the fleet where the General of Great Yan was stationed.
The General of Great Yan was very anxious. Innate experts, block them for me!
Yes, General!
A battle between Innate experts quickly erupted. The General of Great Yan led a small fleet and swiftly moved toward the location of the dragon bones.
As they saw the dragon bones getting closer, the General of Great Yan was overjoyed. Closer, closer! Were about to get the dragon bones! Everyone, faster, faster!
As a result, the flagship of the generals fleet sped up by another three points. In about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the Great Yan Navy got even closer to the dragon bones.
The distance between the two sides was less than twenty zhang, and it could be described as within arms reach.
The General of Great Yan thought they were about to obtain the dragon bones when, to his shock, the dragon bones slowly ascended into the air and quickly disappeared into the dark clouds.
My dragon bones! The General of Great Yan shouted in despair.
The dragon bones had flown away again, and the battle naturally came to an end.
When the General of Great Yan returned to count his troops, he coughed up another mouthful of blood. His flagship had lost around 300 ships, and over 80,000 soldiers were sacrificed, yet they had gained nothing. It was a huge loss.
The Great Xia Navy didnt fare much better. They lost over 200 ships and more than 60,000 soldiers, and they also gained nothing.
As for the other martial factions, they suffered significant casualties as well, but thats not worth mentioning.
The generals of Great Wu returned, all smiles.
Supreme Commander, we really turned the tables on them!
Guess how many ships I destroyed? A total of 33, haha!
I even outsmarted a General from Great Xia, so satisfying!
How lucky! I also outsmarted a General from Great Yan, haha!
Supreme Commander, next time if such a good opportunity arises, dont forget about us!
Everyone had achieved significant results.
Lin Beifan smiled and said, I estimate that the dragon bones will continue to appear, so the battle is not over yet! Rest up and aim to inflict even greater damage on them next time!
Yes, Supreme Commander! They all replied in unison.
