In Xianwu, people evolve infinitely starting from the prince

"Back to Your Highness, no trace of other pirate groups has been found yet."

Lin Wuya replied respectfully.

Yang An frowned slightly, somewhat incomprehensible.

Generally speaking, the lair of each pirate group is very secretive and cannot be known by other pirates, let alone allow other pirates to wander near their lair.

But the White Devil Pirates are different.

Because Yang An's kingship assessment task is no longer a secret.

Not only everyone in Haizhou is extremely concerned about this matter, but even many pirates in the South Sea are aware of it.

So as early as Yang An arrived at Haizhou and announced the content of the king's assessment mission, many forces had already focused their attention on Yang An and the White Demon Pirates, looking forward to their collision.

The lair of the White Devil Pirates is indeed very secretive, but it is not true that no one knows about it.

Now the imperial army was dispatched with great momentum, heading towards Shirakami Island with almost no cover.

Are the other pirates in the Nanyang Pirate Alliance so relieved that they are not afraid of the imperial court trying to catch rabbits and take care of them?

And his enemies, could they really give up this great opportunity to eradicate him?

Yang An expressed doubts about this and ordered Li Jinzhong behind him: "Deploy a few flying boats to expand the warning range. If any traces of other pirate groups are found, report them immediately."

He didn't want other pirate groups to come and cause trouble when the imperial army was fighting against the White Devil pirate group.

I don't even want to be touched by the enemy without knowing it right under my nose.

The sea is vast.

It's better to be cautious.

The most important thing is that Yang Anke has not forgotten how severely he offended the local forces in Haizhou this time.

Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

He had been staying at the Governor's Mansion before, and even if everyone in Haizhou hated him to death, there was nothing they could do against him.

Now he has personally gone to the front line and personally led an army to destroy the White Demon Pirates.

With the hatred of everyone in Haizhou towards him, there is no guarantee that they will not jump over the wall and collude with other pirates, hoping to take this opportunity to kill him in the Nanyang waters.

Not to mention.

In addition to everyone in Haizhou, Yang An also has many other enemies.

For example, the Way of No Return, the Blood Demon Sect, the Blood Soul Sect, the Zhang Family of Xuanzhou, the Han Palace, other princes, etc.

These forces are no better than the local aristocratic families and martial arts sects in Haizhou who are as weak as chickens. One or two powerful Celestial Grandmasters cannot scare them.

If they want to take this opportunity to attack Yang An.

Li Ruhai and the other three alone may not be able to protect him.

This is also the reason why Yang An has always been extremely wary of Lord Blood Slaughter.

Because the other party does not really have no choice, there may be many forces that want to cooperate with the Blood Sect and join forces to get rid of him.

Good thing.

It’s not that Yang An doesn’t have a trump card.

His biggest trump card is himself.

After swallowing thousands of precious medicines and converting them all into qi, blood and martial arts essence.

Even if a hundred-year-old medicine can provide him with a year's worth of skill and true energy accumulation.

Thousands of medicinal plants were smashed down.

That is also the accumulation of thousands of years of skill and true energy.

Therefore, even Yang An himself does not know how powerful he has become at this time.

According to his own calculation.

Even if we don't talk about the extraordinary and terrifying physical body of a martial arts immortal, the accumulation of martial arts true energy alone has reached a terrifying nine thousand years of skill.

One punch can give you nine thousand years of skill.

Let me ask you whether it is scary or not.

Anyway, as far as Yang An knew, there was no powerful celestial being who could have such a terrifying accumulation of skills.

the reason is simple.

There are no limits to the world, but humans themselves have limits.

The physical body of an ordinary warrior, even a powerful Heavenly Master of the first level of martial arts, has a limit to the amount of true energy that can be contained in its Dantian and acupoints.

In the warrior's own words, it is the limitation of one's base and qualifications.

If not, with the terrifying resource accumulation of the aristocratic families and the martial arts holy land sects, and the accumulation of countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, wouldn't everyone of their core disciples be able to accumulate their skills for thousands or tens of thousands of years? Or even hundreds of thousands of years?

It is really necessary that everyone has tens of thousands of years of accumulation of skill.

Even if he is just a Qi martial artist, he can still beat a first-level martial arts master.

This is obviously impossible.

A warrior's Dantian and acupuncture points are not bottomless pits, let alone dimensional space. There must be a limit to the accumulation of true energy that can be carried, just like a bucket cannot hold all the world.

Moreover, there is really no limit to a warrior's Dantian and acupoints.

How does inner strength transform into true energy?

How can the true energy be condensed into true essence?

Didn’t it mean that after the Dantian’s capacity reached its limit, it had to be compressed and condensed?

Generally speaking, even if it is a supreme heavenly master who practices the three methods of essence, energy, and spirit, the amount of true energy that his Dantian can contain can hardly exceed a thousand years of skill.

As for an ordinary Grand Master, the amount of true energy that his Dantian can hold is only a few hundred years of skill.

Other Zhoutian acupoints, etc., can hold even less amount of true energy.

Usually only a few years' worth of power can be accommodated.

In this way, even a supreme grandmaster would be extremely unlikely to accumulate martial arts essence for more than ten thousand years, usually only about three thousand years, and rarely more than five thousand years.

Therefore, in terms of accumulation of martial arts true energy, Yang An has surpassed ninety-nine percent of the great masters of heaven and man in the world.

One punch will take nine thousand years of skill, just ask who can take the next step.

Even if the celestial warrior mobilizes the power of heaven and earth for defense, he can still shatter you.

With the powerful body comparable to the martial arts immortal creatures, as well as the terrifying spiritual will of the main soul and the fourteen gods in his body.

Unless the other party activates the ancient immortal weapon.

Otherwise, Yang An is fearless.

This is the real reason why he dared to walk out of the Governor's Mansion of Haizhou, break away from the protection of the Golden Dragon of Daqian National Destiny, and personally participate in the operation to eliminate the White Demon Pirate Group.

Or.

This time, Yang An went to the front line in person, and he did not have the idea of ​​fishing, wanting to see which people would really jump out and make up their minds to be his enemy.

"The servant obeys the order!"

Li Jinzhong replied respectfully, keeping this order firmly in mind.

Yang An nodded and stopped talking.

He still trusted Li Jinzhong, the new military marquis of the Haizhou Imperial City.

Of course, he trusted Li Ruhai instead of Li Jinzhong.

In the past year or so, Li Ruhai has proved his loyalty with his own actions.

This Li Jinzhong is Li Ruhai's adopted son.

Or, he is one of the adopted sons that Li Ruhai accepted in the Daqian Palace when he was in power.

He is a eunuch.

He has no children, so it is understandable to adopt a few adopted sons and daughters for the sake of retirement.

Emperor Tailong appointed Li Jinzhong as the military marquis of the Haizhou Imperial City Division, and his intention is self-evident.

He is obviously very satisfied with Yang An's performance in Haizhou and intends to let him train his own team in Haizhou.

Yang An gave the task of flying boat alert and reconnaissance to Li Jinzhong instead of the accompanying Tianhai Corps Scout Battalion General because he did not trust the Tianhai Corps.

There is no way.

Who made his previous conscription order so hated?

For example, the Tianhai Corps, Lihuo Corps, Haizhou City Defense Army and other court border troops have long been infiltrated to a very deep extent by local aristocratic families and martial arts sects.

How big is Yang An's heart to dare to give all the reconnaissance and alert tasks to the scout battalion of the Tianhai Corps.

Even if he himself is not afraid of being plotted against, he should still consider his subordinates.

He can't just ignore his subordinates' lives when he knows there is a problem.

If he really does this.

It's hard to say whether it will make his subordinates feel disheartened, but it will definitely make the enemy laugh.

Even if this matter is recorded by the people from the Imperial Household Department and the Imperial Clan Court, and known by Emperor Tailong and the people in the court, who knows what kind of reputation he will be given as a brave but foolish person.

Although Yang An doesn't care much about his reputation, he has never thought about defiling himself.

So it's better to play normally and not deliberately act too stupid.

His life is already difficult enough.

There's no need to make it more difficult for himself.

…………

The arrival of Yang An and his group soon broke the tranquility of Kagoshima.

The entire island was plunged into a noisy bustle.

In addition to the 3,000 Jinwu Guards and dozens of palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied him to Kagoshima, there were more than 300 warriors from the three divisions of Haizhou and 10,000 elite soldiers from the Tianhai Corps.

The first thing these people did after landing on the island was to deploy defenses along the entire island, and a large number of people were drawn to cut down trees and build temporary camps.

Strictly speaking, they are the real vanguard army.

And the vanguard camp composed of those recruited personnel is a cannon fodder camp that is sent to die.

It is the cannon fodder used by Yang An to test the strength of the White Demon Pirates.

After all, the Tianhai Corps is the elite frontier army of Daqian, which cannot be compared with the city defense army in the hinterland of Shenzhou that has not experienced war for a long time, and the 10,000 Tianhai Corps soldiers who accompanied them are the real elite of the Tianhai Corps.

So they are very skilled in scouting Kagoshima, arranging the camp defense formation, and setting up the camp sentry.

In less than a day.

A simple temporary camp was built, and the formation master with the army arranged a large number of traps around the camp, as well as protective warning formations.

In addition, there are various light and dark sentries, real and fake artillery, chain crossbow formations, etc.

All kinds of arrangements are amazing and dazzling to Yang An.

Obviously, in the past 100,000 years, it is not only the individual practice of the way of immortal martial arts that has achieved great development and improvement, but also the marching and fighting methods of the military.

Yang An can get a glimpse of the whole picture from the camp defense of the Tianhai Corps, and almost understand the military methods of the world's military army.

Considering the entire legion as a subject, whether it is the camp defense or the army's conquest, it is carried out around the legion, and then creates a unique feature of the legion.

Take the Tianhai Corps as an example.

As the navy of the Daqian Dynasty, all soldiers of the Tianhai Corps have a unified practice method, namely [Tianhai Jiaolong Method].

【Tianhai Jiaolong Method】, including three parts: body training, qi training, and spirit training, almost covers all the skills and martial arts of the immortal martial arts from the ninth-grade entry to the first-grade Tianren Grandmaster.

In this way, once tens of thousands of soldiers who practice 【Tianhai Jiaolong Method】 form a military formation, their spirit and blood can quickly merge into one, condense a terrifying military force and military soul, and use it to compete with or even suppress the upper third-grade warriors.

Of course, a qualified legion must not only have a systematic practice method to condense its own military force and military soul, but also have a supporting formation system to assist.

For example, the supporting formations of the Tianhai Legion include not only various battlefield military formations, but also warning formations, defense formations, and even illusion formations for camp defense.

This is different from the ancient immortal formation.

This legion formation is not centered on heaven and earth, but on the legion itself, and is arranged by the military power and military spirit condensed by the legion soldiers.

Even the materials used for the formation are the military flags, armor, swords and other items used by the army in daily life as the center of the formation.

Once such a formation is laid, it will form a whole with the entire legion, and the qi between each other will be connected.

Even if the legion soldiers are suddenly attacked in their sleep, they can react quickly and gather at the fastest speed to form a battle formation to resist, and can distinguish between the enemy and us through the qi between each other.

Therefore, sneak into the enemy camp and pretend to be an enemy soldier to sabotage something.

Unless you have specially practiced the legion technique, you will be noticed as soon as you sneak in, which is more conspicuous than a husky mixed in with a wolf pack.

It has to be said.

Such a legion system opened Yang An's eyes and amazed him to the extreme.

It is no wonder that in this world of extraordinary military power, all the major forces still attach great importance to the imperial army.

It is because the method of this legion has already taken a path of collective practice. Each legion with its own number can, under certain circumstances, be comparable to a great master of heaven and man and suppress a Daozhou.

The only pity is that on the sea, the Tianhai Legion cannot play its own advantages.

Otherwise, why would it need the support of the court.

Just one Tianhai Legion is enough to sweep all the South China Sea pirate groups.

In fact, this is also the real reason why pirates ravage the South China Sea but dare not approach Tiannan City.

Because near Tiannan City, there are two legions of the Daqian Dynasty stationed, which is equivalent to two great masters of heaven and man.

In addition, the defense of Tiannan City itself can also be comparable to a great master of heaven and man.

In this way, let alone a group of pirates.

Even a real great master of heaven and man dare not wreak havoc in Tiannan City.

What a pity.

Legion, legion.

There is not only the word "army", but also the word "group".

Since it is a group, it is difficult to be truly united.

Not to mention that most of the generals who serve as the middle and high-level generals of the Tianhai Corps are from the local aristocratic families and martial arts sects in Haizhou.

This alone has doomed them to be different from Yang An.

Especially the Tianhai Corps has been stationed in Haizhou for more than 300 years. The entire corps has been infiltrated by the local forces of Haizhou to an unimaginable degree. It is hard to say whether the owner of the corps is still surnamed Yang.

So Yang An really finds it difficult to trust the Tianhai Corps.

In fact, not only the Tianhai Corps, but also the Lihuo Corps, and the many corps deployed by the Daqian court in other Daozhou, etc., are difficult to guarantee their loyalty to the court.

Just like the end of dynasties, there are always warlords making trouble.

This was the case in the previous dynasty.

This is also the case in Daqian.
