Chapter 1626: Chapter 1626: Dark Clouds Shroud the Cauldron

The message was quickly delivered to Long Fei.

Long Fei was not surprised. A week ago, when Penglai Island, Fangzhang Island, Yingzhou Island, and the Southern Sea Black Dragon King held a meeting, he already received the news.

The various intelligence networks are inherently intertwined.

While Penglai Island planted agents on Jade Island, Long Fei also placed agents on the subordinate islands of Penglai Island.

In truth, the Four Islands didn’t even think about preventing the leakage of information when causing such a big commotion.

They intended to openly attack Jade Island with the Fury of Thunder to annihilate these foreigners daring to challenge them.

The army’s march was majestic and overwhelming.

In the sky flew numerous Azure Hawk Brigades and elite disciples flying with swords, while dragon boats gleamed with Five-Colored Divine Light, soaring with large sails and wings.

This type of flying vessel is an ancient art, found only on Penglai Island.

On the water, massive wooden warships sailed through the waves, alongside giant Long Whisker Leviathans nearly a hundred meters long.

The Demon Clan of Fangzhang Island sat in the mouth of the dragon whales, whose mouth could accommodate thousands of demons, navigating the waters almost as well as the warships.

The new Island Master is this Dragon Whisker Leviathan turned spirit, known as Dragon Whale Daoist.

He is inherently immensely powerful and one lineage with Kun Tun’ao.

However, Kun Tun’ao simultaneously refined the Great Roc bloodline, proclaiming himself as Kun.

Dragon Whale Daoist simultaneously refined the Azure Dragon Bloodline, taking a different path.

From afar, the two hundred thousand strong force appeared like a colossal dark cloud, enveloping Jade Island.

The loose cultivators who had returned to their respective islands heard the commotion, quietly gathered around, watching the spectacle.

To them, Jade Island is merely a casual acquaintance.

The so-called alliance was just an opportunistic move of theirs.

If Jade Island wins, they gain advantage.

If Jade Island loses, they don’t lose much.

The tense situation overwhelmed even the spectating loose cultivators.

Long Fei was not arrogant, knowing this battle is life or death for Jade Island’s foothold in the sea.

If victorious, Jade Island can stand alongside Penglai Island, Fangzhang Island, and Yingzhou Island.

Though they can’t defeat them now, they can make them dare not harbor any thoughts anymore.

That day, far in South Yangtze Prefecture, Murong Chong, Wang Jie, Ji Wanyu, Lin Shanshan, and the Poison Demon Spider Queen, along with the Dark Night Elf Anna and Nightingale, guarding Ji Wanrong, all came to support.

A group of disciples held a pre-war meeting on the Martial Arts Field, took their tasks, and left.

Long Fei called over Anna and Nightingale, frowned at them, “Who let you come? Why didn’t you stay to protect the princess?”

The Elf Sisters blushed, weakly said, “The princess was worried about you, that’s why she sent us over. She said if you agree, she will personally lead the army to assist you.”

Long Fei sweated, thought to himself how fierce his wives were, none of them letting him relax.

Since they were here, he couldn’t send them back. He assigned them to Bald Dog’s intelligence department to scout enemy situations.

This intelligence department has always been managed by Bald Dog and Ground Rat Demon King; they do well on land, digging tunnels everywhere.

But at sea, they are somewhat confused.

One cannot let a rat dive underwater to gather intelligence.

For maritime intelligence, they haven’t yet devised a good plan, relying on the War Eagle clan to probe instead.

The War Eagles are too conspicuous, originally unsuitable for intelligence work, but given the tense situation, they had no choice.

In the main hall, Long Fei called Chu Feng, Murong Chong, and Wang Jie to discuss the battle strategy.

Murong Chong and Wang Jie hadn’t met them in a long time, excitedly shouted for drinks, but Long Fei blocked them.

He got Liuu Ruyan to serve them tea, making them jokingly say, “Brother Long, a great figure in your world once said, to despise the enemy strategically, but value the enemy tactically. Is having a drink to mock them too much?”

Long Fei scolded with a laugh, “No drinking, the lives of this family rest in my hands, no mood for drinks. Chu the Second, brief them on the current situation.”

Chu Feng stood up and explained to them the intelligence gathered over the past days.

The two exchanged glances, furrowed brows, and said, “Impressive, didn’t expect the sea cultivators to be so powerful, gathering two hundred thousand forces in one attack?”

Chu Feng jokingly said, “How about that, a higher level than our siege of Mount Wudang, right?” Get full chapters from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱

The two laughed heartily and asked Long Fei, “Brother Long, what’s the good strategy to repel them?”

Long Fei stood, took down a scroll painting from the wall showing a maritime map.

It was already marked with red lines, things he’s studied over the past days.

He said to Chu Feng and the two, “There’s a worldly saying in warfare about saving Zhao by besieging Wei. The enemy has clearly gone all out this time, their rear must be empty. Should we do something at their rear, catching them off guard?”

They exchanged glances, looked at the data on the map, and calculated feasibility in their minds.

Chu Feng jokingly said, “Brother Long and I think alike; I’m the kind of person who likes attacking from behind!”

Wang Jie and Murong Chong immediately understood and laughed, nodding, “This idea’s good, they come to attack us, we can also attack them, catch them unprepared.”

Murong Chong said, “Military strategy suggests deception, but don’t split forces too much, lest we fail to achieve desired effect and scatter our strength.”

Wang Jie said, “Then let’s focus on one, knock them out, flatten them, completely crush them!”

Long Fei pointed to Yingzhou Island on the map, saying, “I’ve calculated carefully, of the Three Islands, Yingzhou Island is the weakest. Though Penglai Island has mobilized massively, it has profound reserves and is the head of the Three Immortal Islands overseas, surely there are experts we dare not provoke hibernating there.

Fangzhang Island clearly hasn’t put in effort, with current information indicating a large number of Demon Kings remaining on the island, only the Island Master brought mid-level Great Demons along.

Only Yingzhou Island sent out thirty thousand troops, nearly emptied themselves. Additionally, their foundation is not strong, originally taking the path of Physique Refining Warrior.

They are closest to our Jade Island, roughly over thirty thousand nautical miles away. If the fleet fully mobilizes, a round trip takes three days easily. This time, we could seize the opportunity to eliminate Yingzhou Island, cut off one finger first.”

Chu Feng, Murong Chong, and Wang Jie stood up, playful banter aside, they showed a reliable demeanor when talking serious matters.

Long Fei instructed, “This operation must be swift, no need to follow any rules, don’t skimp on ammunition, don’t care for the island’s resources, the goal is to flatten this island. Bald Dog, Ground Rat Demon King, Da Heiniu, Sea Demon Ape, Golden-Winged Roc, and Five Poison Demon, all to be dispatched by you. In three days, we’ll meet on the island again.”

Chu Feng and the others simultaneously clasped fists, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
