Mythical Three Kingdoms Chapter 1704 - 1626: The Two Pursuing Fleets

For Gan Ning now, these things are no longer important. What matters is that his Legion Talent truly allows him to accomplish so tasks only fireflies can do in the dark night.

The seven Legion Talents glowing behind him not only made Gan Ning’s face pitch black but also caused most ships in the originally seven hundred warship strong fleet to co to a slow halt after chasing out of the Strait of Malacca. Only those seven fleets with their Legion Talents activated pursued Gan Ning at a much faster speed than before.

"I’m afraid such a large fleet must have a central command," Taishi Ci said gravely as he looked at the seven fleets racing towards them at full speed.

"It doesn’t matter; let’s retreat first. Compared to the previous overwhelming force, although these seven fleets are more formidable, the pressure isn’t as overwhelming as that endless fleet before," Gan Ning squinted his eyes slightly, but he already had a plan in mind.

"That’s all we can do, but it’s really not easy to shake them off," Taishi Ci muttered after being silent for a while. "These aren’t ordinary miscellaneous soldiers; they really stand on the sa height as us, much stronger than before by more than just a little."

"Heh, whether they’re standing at the sa height as us can’t be seen just by looking. At most, the experience we gained before is now useless anyway, not to ntion..." A trace of cold light flashed in Gan Ning’s eyes.

The Kushan Naval Commander Qiu Lique is considered one of the few excellent commanders in Kushan today. He was part of one of the Five Branches of the forr Great Yuezhi, essentially royalty at the ti, but after Yano Gaozhen successfully established Kushan, these other branches of the Great Yuezhi have mostly declined, although the familial ties remain, roughly equating to a non-threatening noble clan akin to the Central Plains.

Being no threat to the Emperor’s Position, coupled with particularly strong capabilities, ans the emperor naturally was willing to greatly support him. So, relying on his abilities and the emperor’s special care, Qiu Lique smoothly ascended to the commander’s position.

As a commander with very solid basic abilities, when he saw Gan Ning’s fleet display Legion Talent, Qiu Lique imdiately understood. His opponents weren’t likely pirates or water bandits as he previously thought but more probably the regular navy of so country.

After all, Legion Talent holders have never been as common as cabbage at any ti; even in an empire like Kushan, those with Legion Talent are the real controllers of legions, similar to the Han Empire.

One could say in the Kushan Empire, the only true way to change one’s fate is by acquiring Legion Talent. As long as you can gain such power, even if you were born in the lower class, you can be granted the position of Kshatriya, a force that truly breaks class barriers.

But speaking of it, so far, only two lower-class individuals have obtained Legion Talent, and the reason they were bestowed a higher noble status is that even if they are from a lower class, after acquiring this power, even when led by a lower class person, they can still overthrow the so-called God’s representatives.

This can be seen as a force that shakes the foundation of God’s power, and maybe God doesn’t care about this force, but if God’s representatives on earth don’t want to be overthrown, it’s best to acknowledge the power of others.

Therefore, if there’s anything the deeply religiously entrenched Kushan Empire was proud of before, it was having a distinctly clear path to changing one’s fate. While it’s a path countless people strive for, many spend their entire lives without results...

Nevertheless, the power attribute of Legion Talent has deeply embedded itself in the mory of all Kushan people. Those with a Legion Talent can be called a Renowned General!

Whether through brave charges or tactical deploynts, as long as one possesses Legion Talent, they have an aspect in battle that far surpasses others. Even a nation like Kushan must acknowledge these people as the essence of a nation in this regard.

Therefore, the mont Qiu Lique saw the Legion Talent, he gave the order to display the power of the Kushan Empire and capture Gan Ning’s fleet.

If the other side turned out to be a nationless force like pirates or water bandits, although the possibility is minimal, if true, they would use martial force to conquer and then invite them to join Kushan.

As to whether they’d harbor resentnt after joining, it doesn’t really matter; the strength of the empire would naturally give them a sense of belonging. As the commander of the empire, he has confidence in this aspect.

If the other side is indeed the regular navy of so country, then destroying them ans this sea belongs exclusively to the Kushan Empire, and a proud empire wouldn’t share its authority with the weak.

Upon receiving this signal, the non-flagship guard units stopped collectively, while the main fleet as the fleet of the seven major fleets’ commander in the Kushan Navy charged out with no hesitation, boosted by their Fleet Commander’s Legion Talent.

Qiu Lique also had no thought of stopping this scene; the seven major fleet commanders had a competitive spirit, which was easier for him to control.

Unlike the other fleets, all the ships of these seven major fleets were not newly launched vessels. They had their own fleets, and now, having truly established the empire’s spirit along the way, they needed a battle to prove themselves.

As for potential dangers, Qiu Lique didn’t care at all; it’s not a joke. Even if a single fleet encountered Lyu Bu riding the Great Kun, there was nothing to fear.
