Chapter 1051: Blocking At The South

Chapter 1052: Blocking At The South

The south territory from Donglin to Central Cloud Continent would 12 days to cross if one sat on normal cloud ships.

Zong Shou took just a day using the Royal Demon God Shuttle.

When he arrived, it was just when Shi Ruolan’s navy entered the Cloud World.

Nine Taiyi God Lightning Ships, six Nine Bright Broken Star Ships at the helm, and 40 large Spaceships broke through the world pillar and floated above the cloud ocean.

Many giant ships gave off an overbearing aura. Along with the four Nine Tooth Warships and 50 Seven Tooth Warships that Great Gan built, they could fully suppress the Great Shang navy.

Above the cloud ocean, Zong Shou used his World Burning Blood Eyes to look out and he noticed that Great Shang had far more than 22 Nine Tooth Ships.

Apart from that, they had 9 turreted ships surrounded by spiritual light which gave off celestial energy. There were also eight of the infamous Demon Path Seven Kill Spirit Ships.

They were all Celestial Treasures used to fly, however, they could also be used as warships. Even when compared to Earth Grade Warships specially designed to fight like the Taiyi God Lightning Ships, the difference wouldn’t be too huge.

Especially the Seven Kill Spirit, the more it killed, the denser the spiritual light around it would become.

The stronger one was, the more one was restricted by the light, it was really terrifying.

As he expected, the Confucian and Demon Factions both had strong trump cards.

In terms of the navy, Great Shang still had the advantage.

However, Shi Ruolan was still really confident in this battle.

“Don’t worry brother, I need just three days and I will heavy damage them! This ship channel will be fine.”

Based on what Shi Ruolan said, these three days were just to adjust their focus, to let them adapt to the Cloud World environment.

“For this battle, Great Shang mobilized 10 million troops and stretched deep into the south. Each day, their resources are tough to keep count of, they are in a worse situation than us! Which is why we just need enough ships and it would be fine…”

As long as they could carry enough grain and resources, Great Shang wouldn’t be able to block them and they wouldn’t be able to go all-in against Shi Ruolan.

Zong Shou smiled, looking at Shi Ruolan, she was prepared to let one battle decide it all.

She roughly saw through the situation of Great Gan and knew how crucial the battle was, it was what was going to decide the war.

Actually, according to his original plan, he was just prepared for Shi Ruolan to restrict and hold them down.

As long as they didn’t lose on the cloud ocean, then Great Gan had some chance of winning.

“If we are able to crush the Great Shang navy, Sister Kong Yao will find things much easier!”

Shi Ruolan was rarely so confident in front of Zong Shou, she was even arrogant now. She naturally knew the responsibility of this battle.

If Great Gan won, then the naval path would be smooth and with endless resources, Great Shang would rush to have a final battle on land.

Once Kong Yao grasped the initiative, then this top commander would be able to reduce their advantage to the lowest possible point.

However, if they lost, then Great Gan would be in the worst situation.

This was why Shi Ruolan swore, it was to calm Zong Shou down and it was also to take on that duty.

She couldn’t help but think back to before. If it wasn’t for Zong Shou pulling her out from the depths of the cloud ocean, she might have still been struggling in hell. She would have no one to rely on and she would have had no loved ones.

In the past, although she commanded ships and had gone through many battles, most of the time it was when Zong Shou had established enough of an advantage. Even if she won it was just a cherry on top.

Only this battle was one where she had to use her power to turn the tides and to help Zong Shou.

This was why even if they went all out and fought to the death, she was going to deal heavy losses to the Great Shang navy, so as to be able to set down the foundations for a Great Gan victory.

Zong Shou roughly knew what she was thinking about. After laughing bitterly, he could only helplessly pat her head.

“Anyway, just make your own decisions, there is no need to force yourself and there is no need to be too anxious.”

Although he wasn’t a true Unparalleled Famous General, in the past life he had gone through numerous wars. His ability on land was no weaker than anyone else.

Moreover, at the moment, Great Gan’s army was star-studded.

Among them were Kong Yao, Zong Yuan, Ren Tianxing, Hu Zhongyuan, Chai Zhou, Heli, etc., who were slowly growing up.

This was why he wasn’t willing to pile too much pressure onto the shoulders of the thin and weak Shi Ruolan.

However, looking at her now, she seemed determined. All that he could do was to let the more careful Gu Liekong help her clean up the pieces and remind her from the side.

He continued to drive the Royal Demon God Shuttle into the south. The moment he entered, he felt a spreading killing intent.

Although there were numerous swamps in this area and dense forests, the soil was really fertile.

The production of grain on the exact same amount of land was double that of in Donglin!

Along the way, Zong Shou saw that the dozens of tribes were either living at choke points or had locked themselves up.

In the wilderness and forests, he was unable to see anyone. Most of the farms were abandoned to avoid being affected by this war.

Zong Shou didn’t mind. These tribes fought often, so they probably got used to these matters.

It also helped save effort from Great Gan to make them hide and allow them to clear out the wilderness.

The 3.2 million troops led by Kong Yao was south of the Henglian Mountain Range. They were split into numerous waves, blocking the few entrances on the mountain range.

The mountain range was really steep and it was tough for a huge army to pass which was why very little troops were needed to defend the important areas. As such, the enemy would find it tough to enter and back off.

Kong Yao knew how to use troops, so she would obviously make use of such a perfect environment.

When Zong Shou drove his Royal Demon God Shuttle in, hundreds of thousands of troops cheered.

All the generals were really excited.

This was what was good about personally leading the troops. With Zong Shou here, the rise in morale was indescribable.

Zong Yuan and Ren Tianxing had rushed over from the camp a few hundred miles out to meet Zong Shou.

Only Kong Yao treated his arrival a little coldly.

“I don’t have enough troops and the few entrances are extremely tough. The only reason I am still able to hold on is because Great Shang hasn’t gotten serious yet. They are prepared to wait for us to give it up ourselves.”

There was only one way to make Kong Yao give up such an advantage which was if the navy lost.

At that time, apart from trying to end this battle quickly, they could only flee.

After saying this, Kong Yao looked at Zong Shou with suspicious eyes.

“Ruler, you came alone?”

Zong Shou nodded, he did indeed come alone.

He didn’t even bring anything with him.

“Uncle Qiu has recruited four million Grade Three cultivators, but to use them on the battlefield will take some time.”

At this moment, Great Gan had money but it didn’t have many troops that it could use.
