Compared to the previous land battle, the water battle was more important to the teamwork and cooperation of the army. The ability to control the horses on the ground was as important as the ability to control the water on the water, and a part of the army led by Shi Chen Wen, led by a team of four hundred thousand soldiers, would be the main force in the water battle this time.

The reason why the Wei Guogong was so anxious to start the water battle that could be said to be impossible, was because the follow-up plan she had made with her own senior brother, needed this link to be pushed forward, and this link was also the most important part.

Shi Chen Wen looked at Wei Guogong, who had just issued a private order to him, while he was hesitating to speak. He was muttering in his heart, when Wei Guogong had whispered an order to him in the ear earlier, he knew that he must not overestimate himself, and that he must lose this battle.

Shi Chen Wen frowned, his firm lips formed a line, although his heart was filled with suspicions, the trust in his heart for the Wei Guogong forced him to suppress it.

Since the Wei Guogong had made this plan, then there must be some interesting hidden meaning.

Shi Chen Wen's sonorous and forceful voice reverberated between the heaven and earth. With a wave of his arm, a hundred thousand water soldiers valiantly boarded the majestic battleship docked at the Yongan River with a third of the land troops.

People in the city rushed out of the city. Some of them were holding white wine brewed by their families, while others were holding their own food. They wanted to take a bite to eat or to drink white wine while the soldiers were boarding the ship.

The entire Dreamy Cloud City seemed to have turned into a giant, as she raised her arms in a grand gesture, preparing to play this game of life-and-death game with the other races on Yongan River.

In order to protect and reclaim the territory of his own homeland, the people and soldiers of the entire Dreamy Cloud City, who had gathered to form a city, had risked their lives to rebel against the heavens, forcibly taking in all of the cities that were supposed to be part of the heavens.

There was even a time when they wanted to lay their hands on the Dreamy Cloud City. The Heavenly Court would never let these heartless and disloyal subordinate barbarian tribes off easily.

Just when everyone was anxiously waiting for the news to spread.

Banners and drums were fluttering in the air, causing the sky to shake. When the spear pierced through the body of the Yongan River, the ear-piercing sound of a thousand different mixed sounds of blood being cut apart could be heard, mixed with the howls of ghosts and the howls of wolves above the river for a long time.

The Wei Guogong on the shore had long climbed up the city walls and sent spies to check on the situation at the front lines. The citizens under the city walls were all escorted back to the city by him.

With a cold expression, he looked through the observation mirror and saw that not far away, there was a sea of water. Three strangely shaped battleships were circling around one of the ships, and the enemy's ship seemed to be shooting something that resembled an arrow at the ship, in just a moment, the entire body of the ship and all of the soldiers were buried in the river.

Shi Chen Wen secretly took in a deep breath of cold air. The thing that the strange warship was shooting at him seemed like it wanted to shoot arrows, but upon closer inspection, he realized that it was actually shooting something with life force. The moment it touched a stranger, it would immediately bite their flesh and blood.

Just as the tail ship was about to sink, that unknown creature shook itself off and silently dived into the river.

The entire scene was reflected in his eyes. The slender white hand holding the observation mirror, along with the faint cocoon, was trembling subconsciously. Such a terrifying scene caused the young general to feel a moment of fear.

After calming his emotions, Shi Chen Wen brought his eyes closer to the mirror. Sure enough, wherever the three peculiar warships went, they were all destroyed and killed. At this point in time, he estimated that about ten warships were pulled into the river by them.

There was some unease in his heart. Thinking about what the Wei Guogong had ordered, she had the thought of returning home.

Even if he did not take the initiative to give up on victory, based on the current situation, Shi Chen Wen reckoned that he would fall into defeat. If he returned in time, he would still be able to reduce the number of casualties by half.

"Pass down the order, retreat!" Shi Chen Wen had made up his mind, as his icy voice sounded in the ears of the people on the boat.

"Yes," a servant at the side answered immediately, turned around and hurried to the middle of the boat to call the drummer, "General has ordered for the withdrawal of troops."

Shi Chen Wen held onto the observation mirror, and while listening to the beating of the retreating drums, he stuck his head out and carefully observed the creatures in the river, who were still marching. It was just that he did not know what were they eating so happily while facing the corpses in the river.

Three or four piles of corpses floating on top of the river attracted a bunch of unknown creatures that looked like arrows. With the help of the cold wind, apart from the thick smell of blood, there was also a faint stinky smell that was very similar to the smell of rotten corpses that had not been buried for a long time.

Shi Chen Wen looked at the broken limbs in the river, and sometimes, his body would be pierced by this disgusting object, pulling out a bunch of organs that floated on the water. This disgusting and bloody scene made the iron-blooded general, who could not find the enemy's head anywhere, feel disgust even while waving his hands.

Shi Chen Wen rolled his throat as he suppressed the disgust in his heart. He turned and left the deck, quickly stepping onto the main battleship's counting platform, he looked around, only to see the ruins of his troops, the uncontrollable desolation in his heart, making him extremely suspicious and curious about the purpose of this battle.

He had to ask Wei Guogong about the reason behind this when she returned today. Otherwise, even if she did not ask, the tens of thousands of soldiers in the army would definitely cause some ripples.

The first battle between the Celestial army and the one sob tribe was fought because the Celestial army was defeated.

The citizens of Dreamless City rushed to report, and the first battle of the Celestial army was a disappointment to the citizens, who had great trust in the Wei Guogong. The citizens were disappointed, and then they understood that victory or defeat was a common occurrence, but who knew that victory was not meant to be a victory for the Celestial army?

Furthermore, although the Heaven Empire's armies were not that skilled in water battles, there were countless talented soldiers in the army. Just the water army in Shi Chen Wen's hands and the iron macingo in the Wei Guogong's hands could be considered as the most well-trained and famous elite soldiers in the empire.
