Chapter 1007: Enemies on a Narrow Road

~7 min read 1,319 words

"Roar, roar, roar, roar!"

"Roar, roar, roar, roar!"

"Train hard!"

"Expand the mountains and rivers!"

"Train with all your might!"

"Secure the mountains and rivers!"

At this moment, the drills on Java Island were still continuing.

As the commanding general, Xie Fang was no longer the soft-skinned Longyan Crown Prince he had been before.

After such a long time of exposure to the wind and sun, and day and night of toil, Xie Fang's skin had become incredibly dark; his whole person looked much more formidable, and naturally, much healthier as well.

"Careful, my wife..."

It was another day of drills.

Seeing his wife's increasingly prominent belly, Xie Fang hurried down to support her.

She was close to giving birth.

Seeing that his wife was about to go into labor, Xie Fang's eyes were filled with nothing but tenderness as he looked at her.

On Java Island, he had found his life's value.

The increasingly strong army on Java Island and his soon-to-be-born child had become all the hope in his heart at this time.

"My husband should be the one to take care and rest."

Hei Zhenzhu smiled softly.

"Let's eat together, let's eat together."

Xie Fang's eyes were full of love.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"The enemy force is not small!"

"Enemy attack!"

In an instant, the entire Java Island became tense.

An enemy attack?

Xie Fang was also completely bewildered.

He knew the geography of his Java Island; he had been here for over a year, and this place was like a paradise, never having been disturbed by anyone. Even the Nanyang Xie Clan, which occupied almost the entire Nanyang, rarely set foot here.

There was actually an enemy attack?

Xie Fang was shocked to his core.

"Did you see the military banners? Which tribe are they from?"

The Scout panted: "General, we don't recognize them, but that ship, that ship..."

It was too big!

That ship was too big!

Each ship was like a war beast, making one's heart palpitate.

How could these tribal soldiers, who were almost like primitive people, have ever seen such a thing?

"What did you say? A big ship?" Xie Fang commanded the great army to prepare for battle while the alarm spread across the entire island.

The hundreds of thousands of troops immediately sharpened their weapons and fed their horses.

A big ship?

Something that could be called a "big ship"...

Was truly rare in this era.

Could it be...

Suddenly, a wave of excitement surged in Xie Fang's heart.

Could it be the Yinzhou Fleet from Longyan?

This...

Xie Fang was excited, yet also melancholy.

He was excited because he could finally see people from Longyan. He was melancholy because he had already begun to wonder in his heart...

If there were an opportunity.

Would he still return to Longyan?

Would he truly be happy if he returned to Longyan?

"Do the arrivals have hostile intent? Go and negotiate immediately, the whole island is to prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

Java Island's total of three hundred thousand troops was no joke. Over the past year or so, under Xie Fang's training, they had become disciplined and possessed impressive combat power.

Although they were quite inferior in terms of Weaponry and Equipment, war was ultimately about people; as long as the combat power, spirit, and morale were high—especially in this era of cold weapons—the outcome of a war depended more on morale.

Soon, everyone on the island began to take defensive measures.

"General, we..."

On the Yinzhou Fleet.

Su Qi shook his head and said indifferently, "Do not resort to killing at every turn. If we can negotiate peacefully, we should negotiate peacefully. Remember one thing: a powerful dragon does not suppress the local serpent, and this is the ocean."

"Yes!"

Originally, in the minds of these deputy generals, their Yinzhou warships were almost invincible on the ocean. But the storm a few days ago still made them see how small humans were in the face of the ocean.

But there were still those who disagreed.

They thought Su Qi was a bit too cautious.

During this sailing plan, they had encountered too many such backward indigenous tribes.

Which one of them didn't have at most a few thousand people, including men, women, the old, and the young?

What kind of combat power could these backward Barbarians have?

Since they didn't even have food to eat, just fight and be done with it!

Many naval generals actually did not approve of Su Qi's timid and cautious style.

A few even sneered at it.

Just these Barbarians?

Still negotiating with them?

Are they worthy?

What they did not expect was that Su Qi's approach was the only one that could truly represent the demeanor of a great nation like Longyan, and was the true foundation for being able to roam the oceans.

They did not believe it.

And so.

The things that followed caused them to completely collapse, and also made them never dare to defy Su Qi's military orders again.

The soldiers on the speedboat that went to negotiate felt that they were Longyan people, and when they spoke, they were simply arrogant and bossy. Although the two sides did not share a language, at least they could communicate with gestures.

However, these few Longyan soldiers did not take these Barbarians wearing tree bark and hemp clothes seriously at all.

At the slightest disagreement, they actually drew the swords in their hands.

This was a disaster.

They already couldn't understand each other's language.

This provocative action made the other side's people alert immediately.

A conflict was inevitable.

"You bunch of Barbarians, what do you want to do!"

How could these few Longyan soldiers tolerate this?

As soldiers of the Celestial Empire, did they still have to bicker with you Barbarians?

In the midst of the conflict, they directly slashed their swords at the people who came.

The indigenous people of Java Island saw that these people were here to invade them!

Fight!

Consequently, countless arrows were shot out from the grass and the woods. These arrows directly hit the few Longyan soldiers, killing them on the spot!

"This..."

"These Barbarians!"

"Kill!"

Now, how could these Longyan generals take this anymore! They ordered an attack immediately!

"Stop, all of you stop!"

Su Qi's expression changed drastically on the spot.

However, it was already too late.

Several Yinzhou warships had already moved forward, and a large number of Longyan soldiers swarmed down.

The troops of both sides were soon locked in battle.

"What did you say, they are attacking us?"

The moment Xie Fang received the news, he was also furious in his heart.

He had been thinking about catching up with them, but they, on the contrary, directly attacked his troops!

Do they really think the Longyan Army is invincible?

"First Legion, attack!"

"Second Legion, flank!"

"Third Legion..."

Since they wanted to fight.

Xie Fang actually also wanted to fight a battle.

He had long wanted to test the combat power of his own troops, but before, he only dared to cower, because he definitely could not beat the Nanyang Xie Clan; not only could he not beat them, he also could not let them

discover that he was sharpening his weapons here.

Since the Longyan Army had attacked now, it was the perfect time to test his strength against this so-called invincible Longyan Army.

Soon.

He also arrived at the front line of Java Island.

Upon seeing the military flag over there, Xie Fang was also amused.

The Liangzhou Army?

This really is a case of enemies crossing paths!

His desire to fight also became increasingly intense.

Good grief.

With only fifty or sixty thousand, he wants to attack my Java Island?

Do I, Xie Fang, have no face? Recently, pop-ups have been severe; you can click to download to avoid pop-ups.
