Chapter 139: The Marquis Knows Warfare

oment's thought, he said: "I have a friend in the Criminal Justice Department. This time, the demon attack has two most useful clues. One is that before the demon attacked, it stayed at the Fuklai Inn...The Maze Realm has no up, down, left, or right, no distinction between east, south, west, or north. It is a boundless void. The warship "Flying Cloud" spread its steel wings, like an ancient behemoth, soaring within it. Its purple flags fluttered in the wind, and armored figures lined the decks.

This type of weaponry is both offensive and defensive. Under the condition that Dao Yuan stones are abundant and formations can provide constant support, it can rival even the combat strength of a God-king.

Jiang Wang and Fu Yanqing had separated before entering the Illusory Realm. This expedition was a battle, not a sightseeing trip to visit friends. He called out to Fu Yanqing passing by, more to understand the current situation in the Illusory Realm.

Qi Shuijun's order was very urgent, and these assignments were not done thoroughly in advance. Moreover, Jiemingshi Island and Yanggu had different understandings of the Illusory Realm, which could complement each other.

If the Myriad Realms is viewed as a gigantic crystal, the territories of the Human Race marked by the heavenly stems and earthly branches are like irregularly shaped pieces cut from this crystal. Each territory is connected to others by boundary rivers.

Of course, this description is not accurate because the most distinctive feature of the Myriad Realms is its "disorder". It is chaotic both in space and time. Two regions that are not connected by a boundary river may not even be in the same space at all.

The year Jiazi, Jiayin, Jiacun, Jiwu, Jiashen...

These areas were of course sequentially connected, at least when the human race began marking the Demiplanes.

After years and months had passed, it was already impossible to make sense of the beginning and end.

As the Mist Boundary War progressed, every time a shift occurred in the Mist Boundary, the first thing both the Human Race and the Sea Race did was to investigate the surrounding area and redraw the map.

The occurrence of dimensional displacement is also utterly unpredictable, sometimes lasting for months or even years, while at other times only a few days. Before his departure, Jiang Wang had already donned the record slate containing the latest intelligence.

Even after "Flying Cloud" crashed into the Realm of Mist, he personally acted as a scout, disembarking and confirming the location of the Louzhou in the shortest amount of time — Y geng-yin.

Based on the information from each region, quickly plan out a clear and feasible route. Take a detour at Xinmao, then Bingwu, and again Gengwu.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After the last dimensional shift, three boundary rivers appeared within the Gengwu region, and one of them connects to the Dingmao region.

In these areas, the Geng Yin and Xin Mao regions, the human and sea races are relatively balanced. The Bing Wu region is even more dominated by humans, with five floating islands facing two sea nests.

>

The maritime forces in the Gengwu region were slightly stronger, but it was still a situation where Sihai Nest faced three Floating Islands.

With the strength of the Feiyun ship, it would be very unlikely to encounter any insurmountable dangers along this route.

Even without going too fast, maintaining the current six-array movement speed would still allow them to arrive at their destination at least three hours earlier. As for the "Flying Cloud" ship's maximum speed, it is twelve arrays, meaning all twelve acceleration formations are activated simultaneously.

The focus of this military mission, after all, is defense, not speed. So there's a lot of flexibility in terms of time.

Both the Geng Yin and Xin Mao areas were passed through peacefully. When traveling through the Bing Wu area, they happened to encounter a small-scale war between the Diu Hai Lou and the Sea Tribes.

Without a second word, Jiang Wang issued the order to attack. The "Flying Cloud" warship directly pierced through the Sea Clan army formation, effortlessly ending the battle. This frightened the two sea nests in the Bingwu region, causing them to immediately raise their defenses.

And "Flying Cloud" merely swaggered over from the sea nest's edge, passing through the boundary river and veering towards the Gengwu region. It left behind the gratitude of the cultivators at Diaohai Tower and the fear of the two sea nests, all tossed to the stern of the ship.

Like a mighty cloud-piercing warship, the construction of this flagship vessel incorporates a significant amount of shimmering crystals. It can be viewed as a miniature floating island and, for a short time, it can also act as a bridge to temporarily stabilize the rules of the boundary river.

"My Lord, we have arrived at the Third Floating Island of Gengwu. We are an hour ahead of schedule," Fang Yuanyuan reported outside the cabin.

Jiang Wang, who was sitting in the cabin reading a book intently, replied faintly: "Continue forward." He had been familiar with these situations for a long time.

The main reason was that Qi Shuijun's order came too suddenly, and he didn't give Jiang someone much time to learn. As a result, Bai Yuxia hadn't finished reading the few books she had prepared for her voyage out to sea.

It's only during the time that things were going smoothly on the "Flying Cloud," after military duties had been completed, when I could spare a few pages for reading.

A ship's deck patrolled by able seamen..., three thousand soldiers acted like the real deal, wielding crossbows, keeping watch, and manning the helm, each doing their part.

A single lamp illuminates the cabin, alongside a book and a cushion. A Duke engrossed in his studies sits there, muttering to himself. Who wouldn't say he is diligent in his learning!

Mr. Jiang was skimming the surface of the ocean of knowledge when suddenly the boat lurched, as if it had hit something, and its speed abruptly slowed.

There was a faint sound in my ears, and I felt a growing sense of disgust.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

He, who had already experienced this before, immediately realized that something was different about the environment. The shift in the Realm of Illusions was taking place!

No!

He suddenly stood up, clutching the scroll in his hand.

Fang Yuan-you, feeling this kind of change for the first time, was very nervous. He shouted, "Don't panic! String the heavy crossbows, lower three sails, and all officers and soldiers hold their positions and await orders!"

One rushed to the head coach's cabin, whispering urgently, "My lord, something seems amiss!"

The realm of bewilderment has no heaven or earth, it is empty and boundless everywhere.

But the direction a boat travels is from above as sky and below as earth. This is also consistent with the direction of this domain's floating island.

At this moment, the sky is filled with heavy clouds and low pressure. Lightning flashes for miles, and torrential rain pours down suddenly. The "Feiyun" is like a boat in a raging sea.

"Don't panic, it's just a normal dimensional shift." Da Qi Wu An Hou pushed open the door and strode out, his blue robes billowing in the wind and rain, looking remarkably calm.

He actually ground his molars to dust.

>

It's not that I'm afraid of encountering a powerful enemy after being displaced by the Maze Realm. To be honest, in such a vast battlefield as the Maze Realm, the chance of running into an opponent terrifying enough is actually quite low.

The main issue is the spatial displacement, meaning he needs to find a new route. Who knows where the Dingmao region connects to now!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Updating the map of the world is a massive undertaking that requires collaboration between people and spirits. It's not something that can be done overnight. Trying to forge a path through the river of realms on your own would take an immeasurable amount of time.

Young Master Jiang diligently trained his troops, humbly studying military strategies, vowing to earn the respect he couldn't obtain on the academic battlefield.

But I truly didn't expect that the first challenge encountered in the expedition to the Demon Realm... would be being late.

How did it get displaced again

According to existing information, the Netherworld has stabilized for over three months.—. It's happening right now!

If Tai Xu Jiao Lou could be set up in the Mist Realm, updates and picture loading would be much faster... But it's just wishful thinking. The Sea Race would never allow such a thing to happen.

Jiang Wang strode onto the deck, his red eyes blazing like lightning. He looked up at the sky, where dark clouds gathered and rain poured down like a monstrous beast about to devour all mankind.

Do you remember the last time we were displaced by the realm's shift There weren't any unusual phenomena then. What's different this time

Now Jiang Wang doesn't need to wait for an answer.

With a light tap of his toes, he left an afterimage behind as he vanished into the thunderclouds. Boom boom boom!

Amidst the rolling thunderclouds, Jiang Wang leisurely strolled through the courtyard. With a casual flick of his finger, a crimson flame ignited at his fingertips, and his long hair whipped around him suddenly——

Thousands of soldiers on board the warships looked up at the high heavens.

But then a single ray of red light pierced through the dark clouds and rain, expanding in an instant. The sky was momentarily bathed in its glow.

Thousands of miles of thunderclouds reflect the red glow!

That crimson light, as if it could expand infinitely, suddenly retracted to a tiny ember, obediently hovering at the tip of Jiang Wang's finger.

And when the thunder and rain had subsided, Qing Yi stood alone, like a god. The soldiers looked around, but there was nothing to be seen.

Jiang Wang's index finger flickered lightly, the crimson flames extinguished, drifting onto the deck and heading towards the cabin: "Set sail at eight formations speed, search for the newly born boundary river."

His nonchalant demeanor soothed the army's morale, and one by one, the formation arrays ignited. The enormous warships lined up, targeting an unknown direction, sailing into the abyss.

There are scouts in the army who specialize in finding their way, so Jiang Wang needn't worry too much about it. Right now, he was walking into the cabin, thinking about the changes that had occurred throughout the bewildering world.

In the sudden downpour, Samādhi's true fire had caught a snippet of unusual information.

It's a pity that when I first came to the realm back then, my cultivation was too low. I couldn't sense the changes in heaven and earth at the time, so I couldn't compare them and couldn't find the key issues.

Time passed by little by little, and the deadline set by Qi Shuai was getting closer and closer. Jiang Wang sat down again quietly and read a book.

After turning several times, about three hours later, "Flying Cloud" finally found a newly born river and quickly crossed it.

whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

A sound of breaking air suddenly collided with the eardrum. The field of vision was invaded by a ghastly white.

That was a dense mass of white bone spears, covering the sky and earth like a sudden hailstorm. After this volley, it seemed as if a wall of bone-white had been pushed forward.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Raise the shield! Deploy the Spiny Vessel, and scout towards the direction of Mao Shi Yi Ge!" Fang Yuyou commanded loudly. He leaped onto the Stargazing Platform himself.

Only then did he see the full extent of that "white wall". Where was the wall

It was clearly a huge sea creature.

...and are specially bred by the Sea Race as war beasts to be used in mutations.

Its lower body is adorned with twelve enormous fins, supporting it as it floats through the air. Its massive, circular torso allows it to store vast amounts of energy and possesses extreme shock absorption capabilities.

It had no nose, eyes, or mouth; all that remained were pale bone sockets around its form. Inside, bone spears were growing, preparing for the next attack.

As is well known, the true form of the Sea Clan is beastly. The Sea Beasts are the original form of the Sea Clan.

But in the civilization of the Sea Clan, only when sea beasts grow to a certain stage, are born with intelligence, and manifest their Taoist bodies, will they be considered true members of the Sea Clan.

Because the vast ocean really has no resources, the marine civilization can only rely on itself to develop.

This includes, but is not limited to, marine beasts that could have grown into sea creatures and warlike beasts bred to adapt to various combat environments.

The human race also has people who refine infants as weapons, but they are all evil spirits, and everyone should kill them.

The various methods of breeding and raising juvenile sea beasts by the merfolk are a normal phenomenon of their civilization. Of course, judging the merfolk's civilization by human standards is somewhat unfair.

The morality of one race is not applicable to another.

The lord of Yanggu, the True Monarch Yuejie, once said: - The harsh environment of Canghai need not be seen to be believed. Just look at what kind of grotesque and powerful civilization was born there!

And now this civilization, unfolds before Fang Yuan-you.

This was his first time seeing the war beasts of the sea race in real life, and the feeling was completely different from what he had seen in the scrolls.

With his command, the defensive formation on the deck of the warship lit up. Hundreds of soldiers channeled their lifeblood into it in turn. In an instant, the waves surged!

The surging waters ahead of the boat formed a river current, then froze into an ice flow.

>

A blizzard of bones rained down like a sudden storm, shattering the ice with deafening cracks and booms.

The giant sea beast retreated dozens of meters, probably in its simple understanding, the Flying Cloud Tower ship was also a terrifying behemoth. But soon it received an order and pressed forward again.

"Fire!" Fang Yuan You pressed his hand down.

The fully-drawn Moon-Piercing Crossbow roared out, its massive steel arrow, a full zhang in diameter and fourteen zhang long, smashed straight through the Glacial Shield, creating a gaping hole. It greedily absorbed the celestial energy of the surrounding area, blasting a void in the hail of bone spears.

Continuously accelerating, accelerating, a distance of less than a thousand feet, was almost swept past.

A steel crossbow bolt, comparable to a divine strike, enveloped in a cyclone of primal energy, slammed directly into the war beast. The monstrous sea creature, towering hundreds of meters tall, was sent reeling backwards by the impact!

During this tumbling descent, the massive beast known as "The Cetacea" in _Beasts of the Sea_, produced a sound like an earthquake within its own body.

And the voice grew lower and lower, until finally it was like a lifeless mountain of flesh, falling straight down into an abyss.

At this time, the two squads of sea creatures running away in the distance and a human general with tattered armor and bloodied body appeared in the eyes of the soldiers on deck.

>>> Jigawa, who had been dispatched to investigate, quickly chased after them. Kin Gyeom's spiky spear, infused with his power, shot out one by one, wiping out both squads of sea creatures.

This ship is actually Jiang Wang's vessel! Regardless of any regulations or how you try to persuade him, it won't budge.

Wu Du Qiu looked at this young generation of martial merit the most prominent military marquis, for a time a hundred taste mixed feelings, finally what superfluous words also did not say, turned around quickly fly: "Please follow me!"

Jiang Wang casually grabbed him, pulling the already grievously wounded man onto the boat. His voice remained calm: "Just point the way."

The massive Feicun Tower ship soars through the Xinyou region, its mission-complete Jizhou escorts on the left side of the ship, while another Jizhou takes to the skies, escorting on the right.

A thousand soldiers each took their posts for the shift.

The crossbow quivered, arrows strung, blades drawn. Every formation node was packed with Dao Yuan stones.

Soldiers resting in the hold also began to don their armor, and one squad after another marched onto the deck, forming battle lines and brandishing their weapons.

Qi and blood surge around the ship, vital energy surging.

The entire warship was now fully displaying its battle readiness, its speed set to twelve formations. It resembled a roused beast, roaring as it crashed through dragon-like tails of water, recklessly charging towards the first floating island of Xin You.

The Xinxi region has a total of three floating islands and seven sea nests, which are areas where the Sea Clan holds a significant advantage. The three floating islands watch over each other, maintaining a fragile balance and consolidating a small portion of territory.

But three days prior, a dramatic turn of events occurred.

The Third Floating Island collapsed overnight for an unknown reason, and the unprepared Second Floating Island was heavily damaged by the invading army. They could only defend themselves within their own island.

The Hai Clan army nearly emptied their ranks, encircling the First and Second Floating Islands completely.

As the deputy island master of the First Floating Island, Wu Duoqiu broke through the siege to seek aid. Caught in a chaotic dimensional shift, he was nearly defeated. Just as all hope seemed lost, he saw the Feiyun Tower vessel and was given a second chance at life.

At this time, standing on the boat, staring intently ahead, he nearly clenched his hand until it broke.

When the full-speed Feiyun ship arrived at its destination, the first floating island was just being breached by a powerful force! The Sea Race army surged onto the island like a tidal wave, engaging in fierce combat with the cultivators who defended it.

Of course, the Qi nation's warships approaching at high speed were also noticed by the sea tribes. From the continuous sounding of the horns and the rapid retreat of the elite troops, one could see the efforts made by the sea tribe commander to deal with this unexpected situation.

An army that could be slain together, how could it be so easily separated again

At this time, the reserve forces were deployed. Two thousand Sea Clan warriors quickly formed a battle formation and charged towards Feiyun.

>

Jiang Wang stood at the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, gazing at the battlefield before him, a chaotic mess where friend and foe were nearly indistinguishable. He said calmly, "General Wu, this Marquis has been studying military strategy these past few days and gained some insights. Do you know which sentence in military strategy is the most important"

Wu Du Qiu stared intently at the sea creatures: "Uninvited"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang lightly patted the waist sword, her body like a green rainbow piercing through the sun, already into the Haizu army formation! Wu Duqiu hadn't reacted yet.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

All the large crossbows on the Feiyun Tower ship, including the "qiezhāng," "huángjiān," and "shèyuè," were fully deployed. Their power was unleashed, unleashing a torrential rain of arrows!
