Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 287 - 285: The Spirit Light Flying Boat Reveals Itself, Surprise Attack on the Li Huo Imperial Capital
The soldiers made some guesses, thinking that this boat-like thing should be for transportation.
But it’s so small, it can’t even hold ten thousand at a time. What’s the Emperor’s Son going to do with it?
Despite their doubts, no one questioned his decision.
When a million soldiers entered the Spirit Light Flying Boat in square formations, Gu Sha couldn’t help but open his mouth wide.
"Emperor’s Son, what is this?"
"Can this thing... is this thing convenient to carry?"
With no other soldiers around, Xia Feng lightly kicked him.
"If it weren’t convenient to carry, why would I take it out?"
"Just thinking about it makes me angry, none of you use your brains. I worry about whether you’ll be able to hold these places when I go to the Divine Domain in the future."
Gu Sha scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed.
Xia Feng squinted towards the direction of the Southern Continent: "But you’re not too dumb, at least you know to pick the soft target."
"Once we reach the Li Huo Empire, lead the troops well and fight well."
"If you end up like last time, I’ll demote you to a stable hand."
Xia Feng turned and glared at Gu Sha, not caring how stunned he was by these words, and directly pushed him into the Spirit Light Flying Boat.
The initial Spirit Light Flying Boat, though it could hold a million people, was pitch black inside, so dark you couldn’t even see your hand in front of you.
Xia Feng had to dig out quite a few Treasure Pearls from the Ancient Ruins to light up this space; now, accommodating a million people doesn’t feel cramped.
He stood atop the Spirit Boat, slightly closing his eyes, using Star Power to maneuver the disc, controlling the Spirit Boat’s movement.
Compared to traversing the Spirit Boat alone, bringing a million people significantly increased the consumption.
Fortunately, the Star Power within him was quite abundant, allowing the Spirit Light Flying Boat to traverse quickly.
Just as the soldiers inside the Spirit Light Ark were getting used to the Void, the vibrations outside gradually subsided.
Some restless soldiers started whispering to each other.
"It’s not shaking anymore, does that mean we’ve already taken off and started flying?"
"It’s quite stable, just a slight wobble at the start, almost negligible."
"Where did the Emperor’s Son find something so useful? Moving large numbers of troops during campaigns will be much easier, surprise attacks will be too convenient."
While everyone was whispering, the portal they entered through was reopened.
The soldiers who said it wasn’t shaking were slightly embarrassed, murmuring, "Is it because there are too many soldiers and it can’t fly?"
After all the commotion of going in and out, it would be humiliating if it hadn’t moved an inch.
Outside, Xia Feng’s voice rang out: "We’re here, everyone out."
Everyone exchanged glances, where have they arrived?
Some of the soldiers, quick in action, had already gone out.
Outside was open ground, with unfamiliar mountain ranges in the distance.
Though their movements were swift, their expressions carried confusion.
These were mountains they hadn’t seen before, definitely not near Great Li.
Beiman was mostly plains, with few mountains.
Celestial Wind was primarily coasts, they hadn’t seen such mountains there either, where were they now?
Once all the million soldiers had come out, Xia Feng retracted the Spirit Light Flying Boat back into his body.
"Ladies and gentlemen, over the past three months, you’ve undergone a lot of training."
Xia Feng flew into the air, looking down at the neatly arranged formations.
"You should know why I had Gu Sha drill you."
"And I know some of you are dissatisfied, thinking your previous performance, though poor, had external reasons."
He pointed in the direction opposite the mountains with a fierce gaze.
"Now, the chance to prove it to me has arrived."
"Regardless of what you think, I don’t care; I only need a victory."
"A complete and utter victory."
He looked towards the distance with determination: "The Li Huo Empire is right there, the only requirement is no harm to civilians, no other restrictions set."
The crowd was instantly in an uproar, not because they doubted Xia Feng’s orders, but because they couldn’t help but look around.
The Emperor’s Son says this is the Li Huo Empire?
How is this possible?
They had only been in that strange Ark for a moment, the time spent wasn’t even longer than going in and out.
The Emperor’s Son claims this is the Li Huo Empire?
Yet everything surrounding them was unfamiliar compared to what they’d seen in the Eastern and Northern Continents.
Moreover, the Emperor’s Son wouldn’t lie.
The crowd couldn’t help but start murmuring again.
Gu Sha’s gaze turned sharp, and he said coldly: "Silence!"
The surroundings returned to silence, though Gu Sha was also surprised, he knew the Emperor’s Son was seriously evaluating them this time.
Great Xia needed a victory, the Great Xia Soldiers needed a victory, and Gu Sha needed a victory to prove he hadn’t become useless.
Watching as Gu Sha neatly led the army out, Xia Feng stood in the sky, without any intention to intervene in this war.
The Li Huo Empire was a small border empire, not even as large as the Celestial Wind Empire.
He had directly sent a million soldiers to the mountains not far from the Imperial Capital.
If they couldn’t take the Li Huo Empire...
At this time, the Li Huo Royal Family had no clue about anything happening there.
The Li Huo Emperor was carefully reviewing a war report, then casually tossed it aside.
Nearby, the guard looked puzzled: "Your Majesty, has something happened?"
The Li Huo Emperor smirked: "Whatever happens doesn’t concern us here."
"The Vermilion Bird Empire is still ahead of us."
"Previously found the Vermilion Bird Empire’s existence to be an eyesore, but now it’s good to have someone at the front, what do we have to worry about at the rear?"
The guard was puzzled.
The Li Huo Emperor pointed at the war report: "It says the Great Xia soldiers started moving today, and now the Vermilion Bird Empire and the White Tiger Empire are very nervous, not knowing which side the Great Xia would attack first."
The guard didn’t understand the current continental layout but knew that despite being a coastal area, they were backed by the Endless Sea, and no one could attack directly bypassing the Vermilion Bird Empire.
The Li Huo Emperor stretched lazily: "Hmph, let them fight, the more intense the better. If Great Xia wins, it would be a pyrrhic victory, and maybe we can fish in troubled waters."
"If they lose, we’ll strike the Vermilion Bird Empire and take a bite out of our neighbor."
As the Li Huo Emperor fantasized about a bright future, an orderly rushed in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, an urgent war report, bad news, the Great Xia Army suddenly appeared just north of the Imperial Capital."
