Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1710: Chapter 1629: If There Is a Next Life, I Will Crush the Kushan Empire

As an empire half-dead due to the fundamental teachings of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism in the Central Asian Region, they have inherited some advantages, which is inclusiveness, for them, ethnic concepts are very indifferent, they can accept anyone entering the empire.

For them, there is no so-called ”if they are not of our race, their hearts must be different” view. There are Caucasians from Europe, Asians from Asia, Africans from Africa, with Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and all kinds of strange things there.

Therefore, they simply don’t care where a person is from. What they care about is whether this person has the potential to become a noble, or rather, whether they have the potential to obtain a noble position, and it is clear that both Kasani and Zhukashyapa believe Gan Ning has it.

Then convincing Gan Ning seems to have practical significance for them, after all, they are confident that the empire’s civilization is sufficient to conquer an outsider, which is the confidence of the empire’s generals, and also the confidence of the generals in the empire.

”Okay, let this strike determine the result!” Zhukashyapa nodded his head, though he was a bit dissatisfied that Kasani did not directly agree with his proposal, but he was very clear that the other party had already given him face, and the slight dissatisfaction in his heart was more because of his pride of being born from a Brahmin.

However, compared to Kasani’s excellence in military matters, even though he was born from a Brahmin, he had to show respect, how can ordinary Brahmins who master divine power compare with those who have become avatars of gods through Inner Qi Manifestation?

”Crack~” With a crisp sound, Gan Ning’s Great Sword finally shattered under the continuous collision of two immense forces.

The moment Gan Ning’s Great Sword shattered, he was bounced away like playing tennis by the legion attack, Kasani, having a favorable impression of Gan Ning, did not deliver a killing blow, but merely altered the legion attack to knock Gan Ning away.

”Boom!” The Kushan Navy’s legion attack did not directly hit the two remaining warships of Gan Ning’s navy but slammed into the sea beside them. The sea erupted with a massive wave nearly a hundred meters high, and even though the Great Han Navy had no Cloud Qi Formation, like a small boat in a storm, it seemed they were on the verge of capsizing.

Perhaps it was Heaven’s blessing, though the huge waves rolled and slammed tons of seawater onto the warship, amidst the creaking sound of the ship, it somehow managed to endure, but in this wave, they lost hundreds of marines.

After this strike, the Kushan Navy stopped, standing on their ships and watching as Gan Ning’s navy departed. To him, although Taishi Ci and Guann Hai were commendable, they were far inferior to Gan Ning, sometimes being a bit lenient might yield better results.

”You’ve rested enough, your ships have left, now there’s only a few people left, how about we have a talk?” Kasani spoke through Telepathy to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning’s eyes were cold as he looked at Kasani, he understood the other’s intentions, even letting go of his already scarce marines, which to Gan Ning only made him feel more humiliated. If a general cannot use his ability to protect his men but must rely on the enemy’s mercy to survive, then he might as well die.

”Do you still want to fight?” Kasani countered, ”You’re very aware of the gap between us, even if it’s just me alone, with equal forces you wouldn’t be my match, you’re an exceptionally promising naval commander, you shouldn’t die here.”

Gan Ning’s eyes remained cold, yet the sorrow in his gaze couldn’t be hidden. The other was right; his proud ability to command a navy was indeed far, far inferior.

If Gan Ning and Zhou Yu’s gap in naval prowess is only several large steps apart and can defeat Zhou Yu with the advantage of ships, then the gap between him and Kasani could be said to be between gazing at neck level and an unattainable distance, which cannot be compensated even by generations of ships.

”It seems you already understand the gap between us, you have great potential. Joining our Kushan and systematically learning how to command a navy, you might become an even better naval commander than me. The thousand warships you saw, if you join, we will give you command of thirty!” Kasani continued to persuade Gan Ning.

Honestly, in this aspect, the Kushan and Great Han Dynasty are not much different, truly a thousand troops are easy to acquire, but a commander is hard to find.

As for thirty ships, newly launched fourth or fifth generation warships, Kasani really doesn’t care. To be honest, Taishi Ci and Guann Hai also have interest, but relatively speaking, to a naval commander like Kasani, they cannot compare to a potential-filled Gan Ning.

”And we will hand-teach you how to command a navy.” Zhukashyapa also spoke, he too hoped to bring Gan Ning into his faction, not only did Kasani see Gan Ning’s potential, but Zhukashyapa was no blind man.

”Yes, we will hand-teach you.” Kasani solemnly said to Gan Ning, ”And you wouldn’t hope for anyone else to die needlessly, right?”

Speaking of which, Kasani pointed to the resolute Gan Family Army behind Gan Ning, causing Gan Ning to falter slightly, Kasani instantly captured this expression, immediately said, ”We can put these people on a ship and let them leave, and provide enough provisions, as long as you stay.”

This time, Gan Ning even opened his mouth, but in the next moment shut it, for he heard Gan Ling shout from behind, ”Damn the barbarians, we are the Family Head’s guards, how can we let him be distressed, brothers follow me to kill the enemy!”

With a furious roar, Gan Ling charged out boldly, followed by everyone rushing out behind Gan Ning, wielding their weapons to launch an attack against the Kushan Navy.

Gan Ning’s eyes couldn’t stop shedding tears, watching the young soldiers behind him charge out one by one, teardrops falling onto the Broken Sword.

”Kill!” Gan Ning roared, the Broken Sword extended a Biqing-colored Light Blade, then Gan Ning directly dove towards the front-facing Kushan Soldiers.

Kasani shook his head slightly but did not shoot arrows, he personally went to block Gan Ning, while the other Gan clan guards were stopped individually by the Kushan Soldiers, battling so on the warship, Gan Ning’s guards fell one by one, Gan Ning’s eyes continued to bloodshot, unable to save anyone, exhausted, he was stubbornly blocked by Kasani.

”General, you must fight your way out!” When the last guard fell, Gan Ning was already weeping profusely, just standing there clutching the Broken Sword.

”What’s the point of doing this?” Kasani said as he looked at Gan Ning, ”Actually, none of them had to die.”

At this moment, Gan Ning was already almost full of wounds, his right hand holding the Broken Sword kept trembling, looking at Kasani with only anger, but anger could not kill the enemy.

”Do you want to kill me?” Kasani said as he looked at Gan Ning, ”With your current level, there’s no chance in naval warfare, if you join us, you’ll have an opportunity to kill me, how about it, do you want to try?”

”Go to hell!” Hearing these words, Gan Ning felt a surge of anger within for some unknown reason, and the Broken Sword swung with all his might towards Kasani, but unfortunately, at this moment, the exhausted Gan Ning was effortlessly blocked by the opponent.

”Intransigent?” Kasani said as he shook his head while looking at Gan Ning, a hint of anger also appearing in his eyes.

At this time, Gan Ning’s vision was blurred due to excessive blood loss, his lips pulled into a difficult curve, ”It’s just death, there’s absolutely no possibility of me switching sides.”

Though due to excessive blood loss, this sentence had lost its sonorous force, yet the firmness within it was clearly heard by Kasani.

Slightly shaking his head, reaching such a degree, Kasani already understood that the other party had absolutely no possibility of surrendering. So, he silently drew his sword, ”I respect you as a hero, don’t be our enemy in your next life, reincarnate in Kushan.”

”Whoever offends the Strong Han, even if far away, must be punished!” Gan Ning murmured softly, then slowly closed his eyes, ”In the next life, if there is one, I will surely flatten Kushan.”
