"General - we can't continue to move forward anymore! The soldiers' spirits have been almost wiped out. The opponent's offensive is more violent than imagined. Moreover, we can't find a way to break through the opponents under the sea. If this continues, all fleets will be wiped out!"

Zhou Hong, sitting on the shaking warship, soon received a more unfavorable notice from his subordinates. With the full force of the Xuanwu Legion, the Zhou family army was facing the most dangerous situation at this moment. Starting from the beginning, every wrong step may cost a heavy price! What's more, on the sea, it is the world of Xuanwu Navy! Looking at the entire Magic Martial Continent, no army can compete with the army of the Xuanwu Empire on the water!

"How is the Sky Sword Team? Are you still being entangled and unable to take action directly? What about the mage army? How can you not be able to get the opponent at the bottom of the sea?"

After thinking with a gloomy face for a long time, Zhou Hong was still a little unwilling to retreat without doing anything and asked in a deep voice.

"No, the Tianjian Team was completely entangled by the opponent's fire and water mage corps, and could not concentrate on fighting against the enemies under the sea! As for the mage corps, they were also entangled by some Xuanwu corps, and could not effectively attack the opponents under the sea. Moreover, our casualties are increasing rapidly. The increase in the number of wounded personnel will affect the combat efficiency of the soldiers. If you delay this way, it will only cause an irreversible situation. General! Please think twice!"

This general was obviously quite accurate in grasping the situation at this moment. Under the enemy from both sides, the Zhou family army was helpless at first. When the mage army was at a disadvantage, how could it cause an effective blow to the Xuanwu Legion? Even if it really landed on the island, it would probably not be able to capture Lingxiao City!

After holding his fists tightly for a long time, Zhou Hong sighed irritably, his face was extremely difficult to see. He didn't say anything, but slowly stood up from his seat, walked to the bow of the warship, and looked at the Lingxiao City, which was almost close to him, across the coast!

With Zhou Hong's strength and eyesight, you can clearly see the young man standing on the wall of Lingxiao City with his hands on his back with a relaxed expression. Although it was the first time he had met, Zhou Hong was enough to judge that this person must be the opponent who suffered a lot in this battle, the crown prince of the Xuanwu Empire!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince of Xuanwu Empire - you really have good courage and good means! This battle is considered to be my conquering you! I hope your Xuanwu Empire can truly defend this Lingxiao City! The next time I come, it is time for my army of the Dragon Empire to crush your Xuanwu Legion! At that time, I will definitely come to personally understand the skills of Your Highness the Crown Prince -!"

The lucky shouting was clearly transmitted to the opposite Lingxiao City through the sea less than a hundred meters. A smile flashed across the face of the Crown Prince Xuanwu, and he replied softly: "Then I am waiting for the advice of General Zhou. I hope that the next time I meet, I will not let the prince feel so boring! The rumored Zhou family army is just like this! Hahahaha-"

With a hint of ridiculous and provocative laughter, Zhou Hong almost lost his patience. Fortunately, he was able to control his emotions after fighting for many years. He took a deep breath and glanced at the city wall opposite with deep meaning in his eyes, and then he said aloud: "Order - the entire army retreat temporarily!"

This retreat completely declares that this attack was defeated again, and even this sea area was unable to survive. The vast 300,000 Zhou family troops returned in vain. After paying the price of tens of thousands of casualties, the results of the war were a shocking "zero". When this battle report was once again placed in front of the old emperor, the Emperor Lanlik, who once dominated the entire Magic Martial Continent, was finally angry!

"Ba"

"A bunch of useless things! Wastes-! All of them are wastes! The Xuanwu Empire has been attacking the coastline of my Shenlong Empire thousands of miles away. It was already exhausted. It was so easy to be captured by Lingxiao City, the fortress on the beach! It sent 300,000 troops without even hurting a hair on the other party, and the entire army retreated? Zhou Hong, wouldn't you be afraid of losing your head when you get such a battle fruit in front of me??"

The blue veins on the forehead were already very obvious. The old emperor stood in front of Zhou Hong and glared at the old general with a look of panic and frustration, and almost slapped him directly! If it weren't for Zhou Hong's contribution, the old emperor would have asked someone to drag him down and ask for a question!

"Report to Your Majesty, I know that such a result is a shame to my Dragon Empire, but I didn't expect that the crown prince of the Xuanwu Empire could have such wisdom and ability. Not only did he mobilize a group of powerful mage corps, but he also built warships that could sail under the sea, which caused a huge blow to our fleet! Moreover, the 150,000 troops collected from the Kong family have not been fully trained, and they cannot cooperate harmoniously with our Zhou family army on the battlefield, so..."

"Hmph - do you think I will forgive you for these excuses? If it weren't for the time being to hire people, you old man would have moved in your head! The Zhou family army and the Kong family army were stationed on the border for decades, but why did the Kong family have no effect at all? Could it be that the peace in the past is all due to the Kong family army? "

"No - Your Majesty, I... I must find a way to retake Lingxiao City! It's just that it only takes some time to think of a countermeasure, otherwise..."

"Time! I have given you ten days, but you have given me such an answer! Now the Xuanwu Empire must look down on the majesty of my Dragon Empire! If this continues, it is difficult to guarantee that the other three empires will start to get ready! Now the empire's army is in a tight position, so I will never have more troops to dispatch you! How to defeat the navy of the Xuanwu Empire and regain Lingxiao City depends on your Zhou family's own ability! The Kong family's 150,000 troops, I don't want it to be just a decoration!"

He glared at Zhou Hong in front of him fiercely. Only he could understand the anger and unwillingness in the old emperor's heart at this moment. If possible, he wanted to wear armor and fight against the invading enemy head-on. But this was a luxury after all. After becoming the king of a country, all kinds of things are waiting for him to deal with every day. He would never be able to participate in such matters as going to the front line.

At this moment, an eunuch outside the door walked in and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince are asking for a meeting..."

"What are they doing at this time? Do you think I am not annoyed enough? Let them wait outside and wait until I finish the matter here before talking to them!"

Frowning his brows, at this time, even if the two sons came, the old emperor was in no mood. He waved his hand to drive away the eunuch, but the latter continued to speak: "This... Your Majesty, the two princes said that this time he came to offer advice for Your Majesty..."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across the old emperor's face. He hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let them come in!"

Shortly after the eunuch left, two men in gorgeous costumes pushed the door open. It was the fourth and sixth princes who wanted to win over Long Jiu in Lanling City. After the two entered the door, when the old emperor did not notice, they exchanged glances with Zhou Hong, who was kneeling on the ground. Then the flexible fourth prince spoke: "Father, Erchen has heard of the battle situation in Lingxiao City. He knows that the battle situation on the front line is somewhat beyond the control. Now the father and the old general Zhou must be confused. However, Erchen has one recommended that if you want to solve this unfavorable situation, you may only rely on this person's wonderful ideas..."

"Oh? Kairo, what do you mean? The current situation is very subtle. It is impossible for the four major families to send troops to support the Zhou family army. How can you tell me to draw masters to assist General Zhou in the battle?"

"Father, although all the four major families are stationed on their borders at this moment, you should not lose their hands, but don't forget that when the empire encountered civil unrest crisis, they all relied on one person to resolve those crises very cleverly. Now, this person did not fight on any front line, but stayed in his territory and lived a comfortable and stable life. My son-in-law felt that when the empire encountered such a crisis, this person should be allowed to make contributions again!"

A smile flashed across the fourth prince's face, and he spoke softly to his father. His words also made the old emperor react a little. He looked at him in surprise and said in a deep voice: "Kelor, what do you mean is to let me use Long Jiu's ability again at this time? But the battlefield on the front line is different from quelling civil strife. If you are not careful, you may have different body and head! Long Jiu has never received militarized training. If you ask him to go directly to war, I'm afraid... "

"Father, you don't need to worry about this. My son trusts the ability of Xiaoyao Prefect! Whether it is personal strength or mental wisdom, this person's ability has not been discovered. At this time of employment, let Xiaoyao Prefect come out to move a little and borrow his wisdom and strength to fight against the navy of the Xuanwu Empire. Maybe it will be a wonderful move. If he really wins, wouldn't he be able to win multiple goals in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, Father, I discussed it with the Fourth Emperor Brother, and I also thought that letting Long Jiu try to fight against the naval army of the Xuanwu Empire is the best way now. The Zhou family army cannot do anything to the Xuanwu Legion for the time being, but Long Jiu may have his own way to make contributions to the battlefield. He should not be able to refuse!"
