“Are they a pair of phoenixes?”

“Phoenixes? That’s an auspicious sign! We should report it to His Majesty!”

“Not good! They’re coming at us!”

After seeing that it was “phoenixes” that were coming at them, because of their admiration for fire and light, some soldiers in Fang La’s troops were quite delighted.

However, their delight turned into screams in the blink of an eye!

It was because the phoenixes didn’t stop at all after swooping to the battlefield. Instead, they flew among the warships on Fang La’s side at a rather low altitude.

Splash!

When the red female phoenix flew by, its long feather tails simply brushed the sails on the warships and set them ablaze.

Hum!

The golden male phoenix simply flew across a deck.

After it unfolded its wings, the high-temperature flames enshrouded everybody on the deck!

“Ah, help!”

“Run! Jump into the sea!”

Although they did worship the Lord of Light and the fire that represented light, when they were truly caught in flames and their clothes were burnt up, nothing but fear was left on their face.

“Everybody, don’t panic. We’re protected by the divine fire from the Lord of Light. This ordinary fire cannot hurt us!”

However, not all the soldiers were scared of fire. The elite soldiers who had already become Extraordinary had flames popping up from the center of their eyebrows, which shielded them from the heat and flames on the ship so that they were still alive after the phoenix flew away!

Pop! Crackle!

However, while those people could resist flames to some extent, the warship under their feet couldn’t.

In particular, most of those warships were powered by sails, and their combat abilities would be greatly affected when the sails were all burnt up by the phoenixes.

Boom!

Hardly had the Extraordinary Rank-4 Quasi Commander said that when his warship was hit by a cannonball from an Iron Armored Warship.

It hit the arsenal of the warship precisely, and after an enormous explosion, the whole warship fell apart into pieces of wood on the surface of the sea!

“Caw! Caw! Caw…”

The golden and red phoenixes flew across the whole battlefield and ignited a lot of warships, which were then sunken by the Twin Dragon Island’s attacks.

Of course, not all of Fang La’s warships were vulnerable to the phoenixes.

When the phoenixes flew above the golden ship which had fiery patterns engraved on the surface, a dark smoke suddenly rose to the sky from the deck and expanded into a black cloud above the ship, before it went at the male phoenix that was flying at a lower altitude…

In the black cloud, a golden-armored god, who was more than three meters tall and held a gigantic stick that had a pointy end, appeared.

“Humph. It’s nothing but an evil technique. Let me take care of it on my own!”

The bottom end of the black smoke was connected to the center of the eyebrows of a brawny man.

[Zheng Biao]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-7]

[Rarity: Commander]

[Description: He’s Bao Daoyi’s disciple and a general.]

He wasn’t a Mr. Nobody either.

He was known as Fiend Zheng in Water Margin, and he killed Wang Ying and Hu Sanniang of Liangshan!

Boom!

After igniting dozens of warships in a row, the phoenixes had apparently lost a lot of their fiery energy. The male phoenix was easily destroyed by the blow.

“Haha!”

The barbaric general who had black smoke above his head laughed gloatingly.

However, before his blatant laughter came to an end, the sound of the phoenix had echoed again.

“Caw!”

It could be seen that the golden male phoenix, which had been destroyed by the golden-armored god in the black smoke, reappeared next to the female phoenix that had flown past the golden ship.

Clearly, the pair of phoenixes had some sort of power of resurrection.

Unless both of them were destroyed at the same time, they would be invulnerable!

Fiend Zheng Biao was merely Extraordinary Rank-7, and he couldn’t ride a cloud to the sky like Gongsun Sheng could.

Since he couldn’t do that, he could only watch the pair of phoenixes swooping to another warship and causing new panic!

“They have already invoked phoenixes!”

“Four Dragons of Zhejiang, where is your divine dragon? It’s time to summon it to help us!”

On the deck of the golden ship, the middle-aged man, who rode a white magnificent horse and held a long spear, watched the phoenixes that were flying among warships and the Mirage Dragon Warship that he couldn’t catch up to, and asked furiously.

“Sorry, sir. Our second brother was accidentally killed yesterday, and we cannot summon the divine dragon with only the three of us!”

The remainder of the Four Dragons of Zhejiang, who were standing behind him, replied with embarrassment and fear.

It was because the middle-aged man was a very powerful man.

He wasn’t one of the four marshals, but he was as important as them.

[Wang Yin]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-8]

[Rarity: Commander]

[Description: He’s the Minister of War. He has a magnificent horse that can climb mountains and cross rivers as quickly as flying!]

The Minister of War was supposed to be a civil official in the Song Dynasty.

However, Wang Yin was one of the few subordinates under Fang La’s command who were capable of both dealing with civil affairs and martial arts.

Not only was he very smart, but he was even a stronger warrior than the Four Marshals were.

When his city was conquered by Liangshan, he escaped from the siege on his own and fought Sun Li, Huang Xin, Zou Yuan, and Zou Run at the same time without losing!

It must be noted that although those four people were Earthly Fiends, they were all capable warriors.

In particular, Sun Li and Huang Xin ranked second and third among the Earthly Fiends, only second to Zhu Wu, the Resourceful Advisor.

They were even better at fighting than some of the Heavenly Spirits who got nominated with their connections.

However, Wang Yin fought them at the same time without losing.

That was an achievement that only Lu Junyi, who fought four princes of Liao on his own, could have.

Furthermore, even the environments of their battlefields were rather similar.

One of them had to break the siege on his own, and the other was ambushed by the enemy and had to flee alone.

However, the results of the battles were quite different.

After fighting the four princes of Liao for an hour, Lu Junyi killed one of them and scared off the others.

Yet, after Wang Yin fought the four men for a long time, Lin Chong joined the battlefield, and he was brutally killed by them together!

“You stay here and control the golden ship to chase after the enemy.

“I’ll go take care of the man who’s commanding the battle with the phoenixes!”

As the Minister of War, Wang Yin was a keen observer.

He had already sensed that the phoenixes that Zhou Yu created weren’t just burning the warships. They were also influencing the whole battlefield with the trajectories and sounds of the phoenixes.

After he said that, the Minister of War spurred his horse and leaped off from the golden ship.

When he fell on the surface of the water, a sheen of white light appeared on the feet of the magnificent horse, and it simply galloped towards the guqin ship several kilometers away. He was apparently going to decapitate the enemy commander on his own!
