Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1693: Chapter 1622: Avatar of the Ancient Deity

Right when Lub Su and the others were discussing Gan Ning, Gan Ning was about to give in. Looking at the sea ships in front of him, it was the first time he became aware of the Empire’s unusual standards—not by empty boasting but by the power of violent warships.

Gan Ning observed the sea ships bearing the Kushan battle flag streaming in from the Strait of Malacca, estimating about a thousand. His own warships... it’s better not to mention them, definitely won’t win.

The time rolls back a bit, after Gan Ning eliminated the Kushan troops stationed in the Malacca region, he naturally set up camp in the Strait of Malacca and waited vigilantly. As expected, he encountered the returning Kushan Fleet continuously for two months.

And just as Gan Ning predicted, the arrogant Empire had never thought anyone would ambush them here; moreover, they hardly conducted any recon at sea.

In addition, Gan Ning was skilled in disguising, so after destroying the Kushan Empire’s Water Village in Malacca, he didn’t wreak havoc extensively but instead replicated it almost completely—fortifying certain defenses on his side, while other arrangements mirrored the previous Kushan Water Village.

Though the Kushan Water Village differed greatly from the Han Dynasty’s Water Village, it also had some exceptional aspects in its naval arrangements.

Some arrangements the Han Dynasty did not have, but being a skilled Naval Commander, Gan Ning understood their significance upon seeing the physical structures, combining both he made some progress in his marines’ camping and fortification.

The Kushan Empire pursued the Zixu Fleet for months to no avail, abiding by previous rules they had to return; as for the unlucky ones chased to the East Coast of Australia by Lyu Bu, they were shredded to rags in the center of the Pacific Ocean...

During the period crossing the Solomon Islands, the Kushan Fleet even disembarked to form arrays once to fend off Lyu Bu, but the single cavalryman, equivalent to an Elite Cavalry, swiftly routed this navy ashore; to be precise, it was easier than fumbling in the sea.

No way around it, though the Kushan Empire Navy had done terrestrial battle training, their capability was just a notch higher than Eastern Wu Navy ashore, but at best they were miscellaneous soldiers barely avoiding the fate of cannon fodder.

Lyu Bu, despite being slashed by Legion Attack, once more decapitated the Fleet Commander, causing the morale of almost ten thousand troops to crumble instantly. Though Lyu Bu also sustained injuries, his ghostly deity-like oppression caused the Kushan Fleet to crumble again once the Commander was lost.

Lyu Bu now was quite adept at single-handedly breaking armies, simply put, the first and most crucial step—the opponent’s army must be miscellaneous soldiers, second, you personally must be strong enough, with the basic requirement to withstand one or two Legion Attacks, and third, you need a horse that runs fast enough.

If you possess the second and third conditions, you’ve met the minimum requirements for single-handedly breaking armies, then you just simply and violently charge into the enemy ranks, slashing down their Command Banner along with the Commander, the more violent the better.

The more violent, the more intimidating it is to the opponent; but honestly, if the first condition isn’t met, unless you stack the second and third to a degree that could take on five Lyu Bus, you likely won’t succeed.

After all, against a regiment like Danyang Troops or Xiliang Iron Cavalry, where the army fights on even if the Commander falls, Lyu Bu’s breach would be a dead-end street—those Ten-Stone Strong Bows are not something one’s body suppressed by Cloud Qi could withstand, so single-handedly breaking armies emphasizes acuity over mere power!

Naturally, once again Lyu Bu achieved single-handedly breaking armies, causing the Kushan Navy—oh, it should be called Marine Corps—to dissolve, then quickly fleeing to their ships while Lyu Bu, exhaustingly devoured three Legion Attacks, for anyone else it would be fatal.

Hence, Lyu Bu set a lock on the Kushan Navy, then began resting on site, ate several pounds of roasted whale, had a nap, and upon waking fully recovered, mounted Red Hare, letting it stand on the Great Kun’s head and chased once more towards the locked direction.

By now the Kushan Navy was near collapse, if not for them being devout and fervent followers, they might have already crumbled.

Even such elite forces of the navy, after suffering repeated heavy losses, the entire fleet was about to lose its soul, as losing to another fleet isn’t major, after all, even the Invincible Fleet was crafted gradually amid failures.

But now the issue was not losing to another fleet, but losing to a person; a force mighty enough to rival the avatars in myth and legend, or even rival certain gods and buddhas, the power that routed an entire fleet alone, the Kushan Navy was utterly rattled.

Although they knew that guy was a noble of the Han Empire, this strength level was utterly unfit for any supposed noble, many panicked Kushan Navy even dubbed Lyu Bu as the avatar of Mahesvara wandering the Mortal World.

That is the avatar of the Supreme God in Hinduism, only thus explained this entirely abnormal power. But speaking of which, Kushan’s cultivation method was all about attaining the Spiritual Relic, transforming into the avatar of gods and buddhas in the Mortal World.

Though initially this was mere propagation, after cultivating for long even the practitioners believed it, and eventually did cultivate into the imagery of gods and buddhas they envisaged, hence even the propagators believed it in the end, for it was a magical realm.
