Daning East Sea!
This place is the eastern sea area near Great Ning. Sea Liang Island is some distance away from Great Ning, so it is not within Great Ning's sphere of influence and was easily occupied by Gan Ning.
However, this location is not simple. Not only does it block the southward flow of the upstream, but it is also close to the easternmost direction, making it very conducive to the development of the island.
With over 50,000 Eastern Wu Navy and more than 100,000 ordinary civilians on the island, this force was not to be underestimated and was practically invincible in the area.
Nowadays, if you don't have at least 100,000 troops on Sea Liang Island, coming here is basically suicide.
After more than half a month of construction, the area has taken initial shape, forming a small island nation. With Gan Ning's assistance, shipyards and cement plants have also been established.
Using special cement, they managed to build a small sea base on the island.
On the drill ground!
Guan Hai looked at the broadsword at his neck, then at the ruddy face in front of him, and sighed bitterly, "Boss Guan, you're too strong! I've been trying to adapt for two days, and I still can't withstand ten moves!"
"Losing to Guan is not shameful; on the contrary, being able to withstand ten moves already makes you a formidable general!" Guan Yu glanced at Guan Hai with his phoenix eyes and said in a deep voice.
Forehead!
Guan Hai's lips twitched. This arrogant tone was really annoying. If he could beat this show-off, he really wanted to give him a good beating.
But there's nothing we can do; they're just that strong.
Three days have passed since Guan Yu entered Sea Liang Island. With his formidable strength, Guan Yu displayed his might as soon as he arrived on the island, defeating several generals single-handedly.
He then defeated Guan Hai, the instructor, with a single move, leaving the islanders in awe.
He glanced at the gloating guys and said irritably, "What are you looking at? I've already taken ten moves. Come and try me if you dare!"
"Hahaha!"
"The instructor is unconvinced, but the prefect is too powerful. I'll kneel before anyone who can fight him."
"Boss Guan is indeed formidable. That Green Dragon Crescent Blade is no ordinary weapon. Last time I fought him one-on-one, he even cleaved my weapon in two!"
"This guy's ruthless. No wonder the lord appointed him as the governor of Sea Liang Island. He's probably here to do something big."
"The coach is a ruthless guy; it's been three days, and he still dares to go up!"
The group burst into laughter. They now had a clear understanding of Guan Yu's strength; this powerful figure was beyond their capabilities, his power was simply too formidable.
In the military, strength is respected, and since this person was sent by their own lord, they naturally had no objections.
As everyone was talking, a Ziyuan, which made Guan Yu's eyes light up. Finally, news had arrived.
[ Great Ning established a naval base along the Min River and simultaneously launched a large-scale fishing operation involving more than 300 vessels!]
"Wow, a big deal has come in!"
Upon seeing this message, Guan Yu couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile, which terrified Guan Hai, who was standing nearby. What was going on? Why was he suddenly so murderous?
Guan Hai's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Boss Guan, are we about to start the battle?"
"Indeed, news from the Net indicates that the navy of Great Ning has set sail again, and its fleet exceeds three hundred ships!" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Guan Yu's eyes as he pointed to the sea and said excitedly.
More than three hundred ships?
Everyone gasped in astonishment. This was a huge deal; Great Ning was really going all out, and he'd certainly reaped the benefits.
Guan Hai exclaimed excitedly, "Prefect, does our lord want us to attack the fishing boats of Great Ning? This is a huge mission!"
That's great, finally some work has come!
He's been training his troops these past few days, and now he finally has the opportunity to take the initiative—this is truly fantastic news!
"Attack?"
Guan Yu shook his head, a cruel smile creeping onto his lips. He sneered, "The lord's order isn't to attack, but to completely crush them. The best enemy is a dead one; any enemy that's still breathing is annoying!"
Our lord said that if these targets are not big enough, we can even launch a preemptive attack on the Min River area. This is not a small raid, but a big one.
This time, we will wipe them out completely; that's what it means to truly defeat them!
As he spoke, he suddenly swung his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which flashed through the air with a chilling light, causing Guan Hai's heart to pound. This fellow had actually held back just now.
Holy crap!
Everyone gasped in shock. This murderous aura was immense! Was it trying to devour all three hundred-plus enemy ships? This was simply too insane!
"Boss Guan, if the enemy wants to escape on the water, it will be very difficult to catch them," Guan Hai said, frowning.
After all, the ocean is too vast. Although there are at most a few dozen naval warships among the three hundred-plus ships, they are currently fishing in various places, so it would be difficult to capture them all.
"Hmph, who said we should go now? Wouldn't it be better to wait until they've filled their containers with fish?" Guan Yu glanced at Guan Hai and said meaningfully.
Grunt!
Guan Hai instantly understood: once the ships were loaded with fish, they wouldn't be able to move fast, and for safety, they would gather together, making it easier for their side to attack.
If the plan succeeds, we can also get fish from hundreds of boats for free, which is simply wonderful.
He exclaimed excitedly, "If that's the case, then there's really potential! We're going to make a fortune this time!!!"
This business is practically handed to me; it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.
Guan Yu nodded and smiled, " Guan Hai, go and make preparations. We'll set off this All Under Heaven! But this time we can't use our own name; we need to use the guise of pirates, and we absolutely mustn't reveal our identities!"
The fishermen only arrived at the sea area today and will need at least a day to fish before they can return. The best time to fish is at night. They only need to light torches to illuminate the surroundings, and naturally, curious schools of fish will come to them.
They should be able to finish their catch tonight, and they'll be leaving tomorrow morning, so I have plenty of time.
"Hehe, don't worry, I was prepared!"
Guan Hai smiled confidently, took out a flag from the side of the training ground, carried it over, and then unfurled it in the wind. A strange black flag appeared in front of everyone, with an enormous skull on it!
"Yes, very good!"
Upon seeing the flag, Guan Yu nodded, but instructed, "The flag is fine, but the warships still need to be concealed. After all, Great Ning knows the original design of the warships; we need to use newer models."
