In the devastated city, shackled figures hunched their backs, numbly cleaning the battlefield of the bloody lake.

Scarlet soil, building debris, sticky flesh, weird human body parts...

The various ingredients are thoroughly stirred together and fermented in the sun to create a disgusting and curious taste.

Damn~

Damn~

Walking in the flesh and blood swamp of Sticky Lake, the senses of vision, touch, smell, and hearing are constantly impacted. Coupled with the overwhelming blowflies, everyone's mental endurance is severely challenged!

"Is this really the scene created by your Majesty alone? How many people has he killed?"

A few hundred meters away from the battlefield and upwind, Cen Xing and Tang Hongda looked at the hellish scene in the distance, their faces turning pale.

Compared to the Army, which is used to mountains of corpses and seas of blood, how has the Navy ever seen such a battle?

"The exact number of people who died will probably only be known through final statistical comparison. However, with the statistical level of these Japanese pirates, I am afraid that there will be another unsolved problem in the end."

Tang Hongda shook his head and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, as if he wanted to spit out the nausea.

At this moment, a distant whistle came from the distant port area. Cen Xing closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. A torrent of mysterious information entered his brain, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily curled up into a smile.

"What's wrong?"

"All the islands have been captured and the war is over."

Opening his eyes, Cen Xing felt both joy and regret, and sighed with a complicated expression.

The navy has not yet shown its value, and your Majesty has solved all the problems alone. This makes us look very stupid...

Originally, he was mentally prepared to die in a bloody battle, but in the end he only had to clean up the battlefield and clean up his mess. This gap made Cen Xing feel happy and uncomfortable at the same time.

According to this style of play, in the future, I can win even with a dog in my position, but it will not reflect the value at all!

"This is what fighting with you is like, just get used to it."

After patting Cen Xing on the shoulder, Tang Hongda looked as if he had experienced this with emotion.

After a long sigh, Cen Xing wiped his face and cheered up again.

"You ask the prisoners to clean up these things quickly. Although the weather has turned cooler, maggots will grow and rot in them in a few days at most. It would be terrible if a plague breaks out."

"Okay, there are tens of thousands of prisoners on Taiping Island. I'll have them work in three shifts. I think they can be cleared out tomorrow."

"Well, then I'll leave this to you. I'll report the battle situation to you."

Patting his cheek, Cen Xing walked around the swamp of the Flesh Mold Lake, walked through most of the city, and came to a quiet courtyard.

After crossing the hanging flower gate and passing through the hand-chaoshou veranda, a young man in white clothes was sitting in the courtyard, looking at the sky leisurely, as if he was lost in thought.

"The last general, Cen Xing, comes to see your Majesty."

Hearing the voice, the young man slowly turned his head, his empty and unfocused eyes gradually condensed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Is there a problem?"

"Your Majesty, all seventeen major islands in Taiping Bay have been captured. Except for Taiping Island, we have captured more than 10,000 pirates and rescued 40,000 slaves."

"Well, good job."

"Your Majesty is invincible, but I will be ashamed of myself!"

Cen Xing quickly raised his hands and shook his head, not daring to take credit.

Just kidding, after you gather the enemies together and kill them, we will do some cleaning work of the old, weak, sick and disabled, even another dog can do the job!

But when he thought about the harvest this time, Cen Xing's eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"In addition, because you killed all the enemy's ships, the pirate fleet was all stranded in the port, and we almost completely took over their fleet!"

"Oh? How many results were there?"

"There are three Tier 6 armored ships of the same level as the [Tianlei], 14 Tier 5 armored battleships, 30 Tier 4 battleships, and hundreds of supply transport ships."

Speaking of this, Cen Xing couldn't help but feel a hint of sourness in his mouth.

Her ship [Tianhong] hasn't even been upgraded yet, and here are three more Tier 6 ironclads!

The flagship of the majestic fleet commander is actually at the bottom of the battle!

But he quickly suppressed the sourness in his heart, Cen Xing's face became solemn, and he reported the report solemnly.

"Your Majesty, although many battleships have been captured, the gap in our navy's officers and men is even greater!"

"The current full strength rate of the fleet is only more than 70%. It is impossible to use the full strength of the warships, let alone allocate manpower to digest the captured warships!"

"Preliminary statistics show that we need at least 20,000 naval officers of all levels to maximize the performance of all current warships!"

Listening to Cen Xing's words, Zhao Yinshun nodded helplessly.

"I can't do anything about personnel matters in a short period of time. You can continue to write letters to your former colleagues and poach the Imperial Navy."

"In addition, [Taiping Island] will be left to you from now on. We will establish a naval academy as soon as possible and form our own talent training system!"

Hearing this, Cen Xing's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly.

"Follow the order!"

After sending away his high-spirited right-hand man, Zhao Yinshun returned his attention to his body.

In his empty and out-of-focus eyes, an attribute panel that could not be observed by others emerged.

[Basic Swordsmanship]: LV.90 (transformation/bottleneck) → LV.91 (return to void)

[Floating Dream Shadow Sword]: LV.79 (Grandmaster) → LV.100 (Hedao)

[Vajra Indestructible Supernatural Power]: LV.56 (Dacheng) → LV.67 (Master)

[Aragami Shattering Star Strength]: LV.55 (Dacheng) → LV.69 (Master)

[Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill]: LV.56 (Dacheng) → LV.66 (Master)

Fighting happily all night long, killing the enemy with blood flowing into rivers, the insights that had been accumulated in the sea of ​​consciousness in the past were completely integrated, and a leap forward that ordinary people could not imagine was achieved!

Especially in the state of divine resonance, the last sword released in the form of [divine power] directly pushed the [Floating Dream Shadow Sword] to the extreme!

However, Zhao Yinshun also understood that this was because the upper limit of his self-created swordsmanship was not high.

Originally, it was based on the Myth S-level [Basic Swordsmanship] as the conceptual framework, so its upper limit is Myth S-level!

Compared with several other high-level mythological techniques, there is obviously still a certain gap.

However, compared to the perfection of [Floating Light Dream Shadow Sword], what makes Zhao Yinshun even more happy is the breakthrough of [Basic Sword Technique].

With a thought, more detailed information unfolded before his eyes.

"The basic sword skill [Crest of Truth] fragments evolve, and the [Sword King] expertise is upgraded to [Sword God]."

【Sword God】(Myth·SSS Level)

Sword power +100%

Sword training speed +500%

The effect of [Basic Sword Technique] is still so simple and unpretentious, and... terrifying!

Looking at the information in the properties panel, Zhao Yinshun was filled with emotions.

Immediately, his eyes moved slightly, and the seabird flying hundreds of meters above his head instantly turned into a ball of blood mist. The shrill invisible sword energy completely destroyed every cell in it, leaving only a random ball on the spot.

Hazy red clouds blown away by the wind.

Attack distance, speed, destructive power, penetrating power, law suppression power...

All positive effects are doubled, while all negative effects such as consumption are halved!

This expertise alone can turn any extraordinary person into a rare swordsman genius!

If it hadn't greatly reduced the cost of drawing the sword, I wouldn't have been able to fight fiercely all night after releasing all my power!

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhao Yinshun rubbed his chin and looked at his [Floating Light Dream Shadow Sword] which was in perfect harmony.

Since it reached its limit, the inspiration for the next stage has been looming in my mind.

Taking the mythical SSS-level [Basic Sword Technique] as the conceptual framework, I should be able to create a top-notch sword technique!

With a thought in his mind, a young man in white clothes spread out his hand deep in the sea of ​​consciousness, and an ancient and mysterious book appeared in his palm.

【Book of Truth】!

Putting the truth emblems of [Floating Light Dream Shadow Sword] and [Basic Sword Technique] into it, ripples of time and space appeared on the chaotic pages containing all colors, like a miniature black hole unfolding, and the endless suction force was suddenly released,

The huge divine power was absorbed.

His face turned slightly pale, and after an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yinshun felt blessed and took off the [White Emperor] from his waist and gently unsheathed it.

The warm and jade-like Gang Qi on the sword quietly left, floating between the eyebrows and fluctuating violently.

The young man stroked the White Emperor's sword and smiled with nostalgia and relief.

"Thank you for following me for so long."

After saying that, he put the [White Emperor] into the scabbard and stared blankly at the Gang Qi between his eyebrows.
To be continued...
