Chapter 343: Hero: Yue He
Fang La’s troops also had hot weapons, which were almost a hundred cannons.
In reality, firearms hadn’t really been popularized in the Northern Song Dynasty in real history.
Even the troops of the court couldn’t have installed many cannons on their s.h.i.+p!
However, since technicians like Ling Zhen could be found in Water Margin, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Fang La’s troops had cannons.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Those cannons which were no more powerful than Extraordinary Rank-5 were no threats to the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p at all.
Most of the cannonb.a.l.l.s had already been blocked by a red protective s.h.i.+eld before they could hit the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p!
Splash…
On the deck of the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p, a tree whose trunk seemed like red jade was standing. The leaves of the tree emitted red light and created a b.l.o.o.d.y s.h.i.+eld that covered the critical regions such as the a.r.s.enal and the engine compartment.
Furthermore, there were also vines covered in red light that had been woven into a net. They blocked some of the cannonb.a.l.l.s in midair.
[b.l.o.o.d.y Vines]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-8]
[Rarity: Commander]
[Description: The seed of the Thousand-Year Tree Demon has absorbed the power of the Bloodsoul Vine Tree and mutated into this.]
Because it was rooted on the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p and preyed on the fish in the sea to boost its evolution, the mutated tree had already reached the peak of Rank-8!
With enough blood, it could even carry out the defense ability as good as Extraordinary Rank-9.
However, faced with a hundred wars.h.i.+ps with thousands of soldiers on them, even a real Extraordinary Rank-9 wars.h.i.+p couldn’t have just charged at them.
Therefore, the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p stopped firing and began to “retreat” to the Twin Dragon Island.
However, on a closer look, one would realize that something was clearly wrong with the retreat.
It was because although the “paddle algae” at the bottom of the wars.h.i.+p were powering the wars.h.i.+p, the Hurricane Pirate Flag that contained Transcendent power wasn’t activated at all, and the two Fire Oil Turbines were only providing the minimal impetus!
“The blasphemer is on the wars.h.i.+p too.”
“He’s a monster with the bloodline of evil dragons. He can cause storms on the sea!”
On Fang La’s side, someone noticed that Ji Ye had boarded the retreating Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p.
“The sea… No, we have to chase after them. We cannot let this wars.h.i.+p escape!”
On a s.h.i.+p that was made of golden materials, which looked like the sun, and s.p.a.cious enough to accommodate a thousand people, a middle-aged man, who was holding a long spear and riding a magnificent horse, gravely gave the order to chase the enemy after a moment of hesitation!
It was not because Ji Ye had desecrated the Lord of Light, but because he found that the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p wasn’t alone on the surface of the sea now that the sun had risen up.
Another five weirdly-shaped wars.h.i.+ps that had black smoke popping up were moving from the Twin Dragon Island to them.
[Iron Armored Wars.h.i.+p]
[Level: Extraordinary]
[Rarity: Excellent]
[Description: It’s a medium-sized wars.h.i.+p made with the special heart of the red wood of the Twin Dragon Island as well as a lot of alloys!]
Those Iron Armored Wars.h.i.+ps were not real modern wars.h.i.+ps, but their bodies were built with red wood and their key parts were protected by Extraordinary alloys.
For the ancient people, they were even more bizarre-looking than the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p which was covered in a mist.
One Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p alone had almost destroyed the military camp.
If the five bizarre wars.h.i.+ps came close to the military camp, it would probably be razed to the ground.
For that reason, altogether three thousand soldiers and fifteen Commanders left the port and came at the Twin Dragon Island’s s.h.i.+ps!
“Well, the plan has worked… Chief Yue, let’s begin!”
Seeing that, on the red guqin s.h.i.+p several kilometers away from the battlefield, Zhou Yu, who looked even more handsome in military uniform, laid his hands on the strings of the guqin that was transformed from the Yuan emperor’s Sonic Bow!
Ting! Ting! Ting!
Instantly, a familiar piece of music came out.
The red guqin s.h.i.+p emitted the glow of the fire along with the music, which then turned into a transparent golden phoenix.
However, the phoenix didn’t fly away immediately after it was created.
Instead, it hovered around the s.h.i.+p as if it was waiting for something!
“Caw!”
Very soon, another loud and clear sound came from the guqin.
Another phoenix had appeared. It was redder and had a longer neck and tail.
The first golden phoenix that flew out was a male one, and the second one was female.
This time, it was a pair of phoenixes that had been invoked by the song of Fei Qiu Huang.
That was because apart from the newly-founded music division, which was exclusively made of Extraordinary music players, and the two natives of the Musical House settlement, namely Pei Xingnu and the pipa woman, there was someone else who was playing the song together with Zhou Yu on the s.h.i.+p. He was a handsome young man with an iron long flute on his waist.
[Yue He]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-7]
[Rarity: Commander]
[Description: t.i.tle: Earthly Music Star. Nickname: Iron Singer. He leads the scouts on Liangshan.]
[Note: He learns all kinds of music easily, he can get anything done, and he loves martial arts.]
Yue He had a mediocre ranking among the Earthly Fiends, but he actually had excellent abilities.
It could be seen from the poetic announcement when he arrived that he was almost another Yan Qing.
Although he was not as good at fighting as Yan Qing was, he was even better than him in terms of music.
He was as good at music as An Daoquan was at medicine or Ling Zhen at making cannons.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been proclaimed the Earthly Music Star.
His talent and specialty was to work with others with his music.
He was a better supporter by himself than Chu Yin and Nie Xiaoqian combined!
“Caw!”
The golden and red phoenixes both cawed after they showed up.
After that, they flew towards the battlefield in two streaks of fiery light several meters above the surface of the sea.
“Huh?”
“The phoenixes are here. Prepare to attack!”
Seeing the phoenixes, the retreating Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p suddenly doubled its speed and changed its direction. The ten cannons on the wars.h.i.+p started firing cannonb.a.l.l.s at Fang La’s wars.h.i.+ps again.
Boom, boom, boom…
The five Iron Armored Wars.h.i.+ps on the sea also moved at full speed and drew close to Fang La’s fleet, before they followed the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p to bombard the enemy.
Boom! Boom!
In the blink of an eye, almost eight medium-sized wars.h.i.+ps were hit, and a lot of holes were left on them with gray smoke popping up.
Some of the smaller wars.h.i.+ps had even been blown up and sunk by the cannonb.a.l.l.s!
“Disperse and surround them!”
“n.o.body is allowed to retreat! Get close to them and board on their s.h.i.+ps!”
However, faced with such a situation, the commander of Fang La’s fleet made up his mind too.
He commanded the remaining wars.h.i.+ps to get in formation. They blocked the Twin Dragon Island’s attacks with extraordinary powers and approached the enemy wars.h.i.+ps from all directions.
While the Twin Dragon Island’s wars.h.i.+ps were powerful, there were too few of them.
Once they were surrounded and attacked from all directions, even the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p would hardly be able to react!
“Look, what’s that?”
However, while those wars.h.i.+ps tried to surround the enemies, the fiery streaks of light that were the two golden and red phoenixes had arrived at the battlefield!
