Volume 1 Chapter 1: The Fragrance of a Single Incense Can Fill an Entire Room 026 General Thunderbolt

  The prince's efficiency is not bad, and by the second day, I received a commission from the military. He was appointed as General Thunderbolt! The position is equal to Long Nu Gou, and it is actually the supervisor of the army!

  I wore a black armor, with my hair tied up high. The slightly curled ends were swept back behind my ears. Standing in the sea breeze, in front of the Dragon God Army, I looked so majestic and refreshing! This is the battlefield that belongs to me! The Dragon God Army was neatly dressed, with each soldier's spirit high, holding a trident in their hands. The sea breeze blew the black silk flag embroidered with golden dragon, making it flutter loudly. After several days of rest and replenishment, the fleet set off again!

  Life is indeed an unpredictable game. Not long ago, we were sworn enemies fighting for our lives, now we're fighting side by side!

  He looked up at the fleet that had fought with him countless times, and on the front deck, Long Nuyue's elegant figure slowly walked to the railing, propping himself against it with both hands, his body slightly leaning forward. The golden sunlight was behind him, and he was bathed in its radiance, looking like a heavenly palace from afar! He seemed to have known of my arrival long ago, and upon seeing me, he didn't reveal even a hint of surprise, but instead coldly ordered, "Leng Shuai! Board the ship!"

  "Yes! Marshal!" I said, and with a flying body, I started from the nearest ship, flying towards the Longnuyi's ship. The Shenlong Army shouted out in unison. In the morning sea breeze, I was like a black seagull, finally returning to my own battlefield, feeling incredibly refreshed! A new official on duty, just showing off his lightness skills, is enough to establish prestige in the Shenlong Army!

  He stood in front of me, his eyes scanning me from head to toe, and after a moment's silence, he let out a cold snort. "You're showing off!" He turned around and shouted, "Set sail!"

  The ship moved slowly! The leading ship moved, and the fleet behind it followed in a mighty sweep! From here to there, the entire Divine Dragon Army's warship, amazingly has nearly a thousand ships! Such a massive scale of the fleet, I have never seen in my life! Even before the dragon anger bay fought with me, at most only ten or so speedboats! Each ship is equipped with one hundred people, and it would take a million soldiers!

  "What! Have you never seen so many ships?" He stood beside me, the sea wind disheveling his hair, standing between the sea and sky, and yet he was so dazzlingly bewildered!

  "So many ships moving at the same time, it feels so unrealistic!" I smiled slightly.

  He gritted his teeth, "That's because you're inexperienced! This is just a part of the Divine Dragon Army! If it weren't for Cold Intention being suddenly killed and the insufficient supplies at sea, our naval forces wouldn't have gathered in full at the border city! Yesterday, Father Emperor issued an edict, ordering us to avenge Cold Intention and uphold military prestige. Taking this opportunity, we'll select generals who can follow you to Fengguo! When you return to the border defense, you'll see how many troops are stationed there and know the scale of the Divine Dragon Army!" His face was filled with proud splendor. This man took pride in the iron troops behind him! With so many soldiers under his command, it's no wonder the Crown Prince saw him as a thorn in his side!

  "General Nur Lei is leading so many troops by himself, he's really young and promising!" I smiled calmly. The tip of my nose smelled the familiar salty taste of the sea breeze, it was so refreshing! It had only been two days since I left the sea! I missed it this much! Just like a seabird that has escaped from its cage!

  "You look delighted!" He narrowed his eyes at me, "Come on! As a supervisor, you should give me your opinion!"

  He said, then led the way into the cabin! I took a deep breath and followed him into the cabin. This cabin was obviously his exclusive use. He was so tall that he didn't need to lower his head when entering the cabin! In front of the cabin, stood a high flag made of ivory. In the army, only the commander's tent had such an ivory flag!

  His cabin was very clean, with a carved redwood desk and a large redwood bed. There was also a wardrobe for clothes. On the bedside were several pairs of black boots with golden edges. The boots were very big, but unexpectedly clean. Above the bed hung a map, which was a sea area map of the border of Jiang Guo! On the map, dozens of large and small red circles were drawn. If he wasn't mistaken, they were actually the locations of all the pirate islands!

  There's a traitor in the Demon Dragon Clan! This was my first thought.

  He took down the map and spread it out on the table. Seeing me standing at the door, he raised his head and beckoned to me, "Leng Shuai! Come over here! Close the door!"

  I was taken aback for a moment, but then I understood. The commander must have made battle plans that couldn't be overheard by the enemy! I closed the door with a flourish, only to find that it was pitch black inside the cabin!

  Just as I was about to speak, he had already lit the oil lamp. Under the fiery light, he stared at me intensely and after a while, pointed his hand at the map. "Our target this time is here!"

  I raised an eyebrow, and without taking a step closer, I already had a number in mind. "You said, Red Flame Island?" I asked coldly, my arms crossed over my chest. "Does the general think that Young Master was killed by someone from Red Flame Island?"

  He shook his head, "Who killed him, you should be clearer than anyone! Leng Yiluan, died at whose hands, died where, so far only a rumor from Yu Yan's mouth! I sent troops to the area you mentioned and found their bodies, obviously dead under the sword of a master! Whether it was done by the people of Chiyan Island is still to be investigated. Let's take a look, although Chiyan Island is small, it has been attacking for so long without success! It's because there are many sharks around the island that have been trained to be extremely ferocious! If we force an attack on the island, our side will suffer countless casualties!"

  I raised an eyebrow, "Unexpectedly, General Nu Lei appears rough on the surface but is actually such a gentle person!"

  "He was taken aback, 'What nonsense are you talking about! Let's talk seriously, what are you saying?'"

  I smiled faintly, "General, if you really want to win, then use poison! There are many poisons that can make sharks die unnatural deaths!"

  His face was slightly pale. After a while, he said, "If poison is used, it will inevitably affect the lives of the island's residents! So, we can only launch a strong attack!"

  I snorted. There must be something important on this island. Otherwise, how could this small Red Flame Island bring him down?

  "General, insist on a strong attack, then start from here!" My hand pointed to the map. "This place is the natural danger of Red Flame Island, with a huge whirlpool below and steep cliffs above. It's the only place on the island that doesn't need to be guarded by sentries! And because of this whirlpool, sharks won't approach this place either! No one has ever passed through this natural danger, so let's set an example! I believe Lin Jinghong didn't think of it either!"

  "I was wondering why the Crown Prince brought you here, and I'm still not convinced. But it seems you've done your homework! You even know about Lin Xinghong! However, I don't want any islanders to die, nor do I want my soldiers to die. This is a perilous move, one that only one person in this world would make!" He smiled calmly. His gaze swept over me, "Your hand!" He suddenly grasped my hand, "Cold General! You're indeed a woman!"
