Chapter 6696 Passing Ants

Although the army under Ansar's command also came from Northern Nobility, the Sethi family belonged to the Yuezhi nobles who had penetrated deep into Southern Nobility, resulting in a relatively deep level of involvement of certain Brahman systems. Even though the unique training methods of Northern Nobility were used, Ansar's army was still influenced by the visualization of gods and Buddhas.

With a scale of about a hundred people, the Kushans are definitely the strongest in terms of combat effectiveness. On the island of Ceylon, there are a large number of fortresses, bunkers, tunnels, trenches and other defensive facilities that were built by Meng Kangbu during this period. Relying on these things, facing the landing Han army, if they resist step by step, it should not be a problem to drag it out until Meng Kangbu returns. As long as the island of Ceylon does not change hands directly, it will not be too difficult to drive the Han Dynasty out.

"General, you will personally lead the navy to harass Zhou Yu along the coast?" Galan was shocked after hearing the order given by Ansar. This was no joke. That was Zhou Yu, and the opponent's fleet was no smaller than the one currently stationed by the Kushans on Ceylon. How could Ansar harass him?

"Except for me, no one else can do this, even with the permanent artillery batteries along the coast, they won't be able to hold out for long. Only if I go personally to block and tangle with them can I delay the enemy and buy enough time for the army to disperse and reorganize." Ansar answered calmly, not feeling despair because of this matter with a high probability of death.

"But!" Galan's face turned pale.

Although Galan is only a retainer of the Seti family, his father is a servant serving Celian, and he is a servant serving the current patriarch. Their lineage has always been dependent on the Seti family of the Xumi line, and the power and rise and fall of the Seti family is directly related to their family's social status.

For Galan, the death of Celian has greatly weakened his power. If the current patriarch Ansar also dies here, the Sethi family will basically be finished in the Kushan political landscape. None of the remaining Ben Bhutto, Nikaya, Anar, etc. can bear the burden of the Sethi family. These people are not capable enough and their qualifications are also insufficient!
Although these people are only slightly weaker than Anshar in terms of ability, sometimes it is not a question of strength or weakness, but a question of qualifications and experience.

"No buts. I'll leave the army to you. If I die, you will hand over the position of clan leader to Anar." Ansar took out a token from his arms and handed it to Galan. "After I die, you don't have to serve the Sethi family anymore. Live as an independent person. I have a recommendation document prepared for you in my study. This document can guarantee that you will be reused."

Galan was silent after hearing this, then he sneered twice, "General, if you die, can I still go back? Or, if the master is dead, why should I, as a subject, go back?"

"I'll buy you some time. Your army command is better than mine. You don't have to respect me. You lose to me every time. Even if I'm a fool, I should have realized it after all these years." Ansar said with a smile, "You command. No matter what, you have to hold on until the eighth day. I believe in your ability. This is for the sake of the Sisi family."

After hearing this, Gal'an was silent for a while, and finally spoke slowly, "I will definitely hold on, and you must come back alive. Anar is not a suitable clan leader."

"It's rare for you to say such an outrageous thing. In the past, you would never speak on such matters." Ansar spoke with a bit of ease. He did not feel dissatisfied with Galan's words. At this point, he just said whatever he should say.

"The Sethi family is not a family that pursues the ocean. It only has this reputation because of my father. But other than my father, no one else is actually suitable." Ansar said with some reminiscence, "I think a person's talent is important, but love for something is more important."

"In the Sethi family, except for my father and Kapil who love the navy, the others just inherited the legacy of the strong. Most people don't have a love for the ocean, so everyone in the Sethi family can only reach my current level at most." Ansar said to himself softly, "So when I die, it's time to remove the shackles that bind the Sethi family."

"What do you think of Ansar?" Galan instantly understood Ansar's thinking.

"Anar has a love for the army and is qualified enough. Even in a place like the Sethi family, he has not changed after so many years." Ansar said calmly, "A family should not be bound by inheritance, but should work hard for survival. Anar's qualifications and love from the heart at least make it possible."

"Is it possible?" Galan nodded slowly. Indeed, when everyone's qualifications are similar, whether or not there is an interest in pursuing this will have a huge impact.

"Nothing will change if other people come up. The Sethi family will still be stagnant." Ansar looked at the ships that had already started in the distance with an extremely calm expression, "Only Anar can bring about change, and in this era, sticking to the old ways will not bring a different future."

"I will do my best." Gal'an bowed slightly, "I wish you good luck and victory in the next battle!"

"You can tell some jokes too." Ansar laughed and led the main navy to the hidden port specially built on Ceylon Island. After Galan saluted Ansar, he took the seal and quickly began to mobilize the remaining less than 20,000 army soldiers as a close minister.

"There is a special mystical creation ahead!" The lookout of the Han army raised a flag to the flagship that was rushing in the front. After receiving the message, Gan Ning directly ordered the archers to operate the secondary guns to clear the target. One shot from the secondary gun hit the target, and a splash of water as high as tens of meters was created.

"It's the Kushan's offshore defense mine." Gan Ning instantly understood what this thing was. After all, he had heard of it before, and this time he finally saw it.

"Order the gunners to clear the mines floating on the water." Gan Ning ordered the flag bearer to give orders to the surrounding ships, and soon all kinds of chaotic attacks were launched at the mines.

The mines that were only developed these days are not very resistant to various attacks and can be easily detonated by naval guns driven by top archers, so they quickly clear a path on the sea.

"Be careful underwater, there are hidden mines underwater." The reconnaissance equipment of the seventh-generation ship quickly captured the existence of underwater obstacles. Moreover, compared with the mines on the surface used to attract attention, those underwater mines are larger and even have a certain degree of mobility.

"Use the secret art of waves." Gan Ning gave the order calmly. He had been on the opposite side of Ceylon Island and had communicated with Moncomb a lot. He knew very well how many means the other party had deployed on Ceylon Island. Mines could only be one of the defense means near the coast.

As for diving, it is difficult to bypass underwater means, and the use of diving by the seventh-generation ships is quite stressful for Gan Ning.

Six-meter-high waves extended in front of Gan Ning's flagship. Waves of this magnitude would be quite dangerous in the real world, but for a fleet with a group defense, this level of waves was not a problem at all. It was easy to use them to clear minefields.

"The wave secret technique has been activated to clear the minefield." The first thing Ansar did after boarding the ship was to use the reconnaissance secret technique to determine the situation ahead. When he saw the wave secret technique, Ansar understood what the Han Dynasty was doing. However, this was within the Kushan's estimation. These mines in the minefield were just things used by Meng Kangbu to create confusion.

The violent waves dragged the mines in the minefield forward, but when the mines were dragged forward by the waves, it seemed as if something was pulling at the bottom of the mines, and they suddenly stagnated until the waves pushed the mines forward with greater force. After this force reached its limit, the originally invisible restraint seemed to be suddenly broken.

Six beams of light with unparalleled brilliance penetrated from under the sea surface, and then smashed down against the direction of the waves. These were six ultra-high-density energy attacks, a by-product of Kushan's research on the air-rail cannon. They were main gun attacks of an energy nature. The combined power of the six shots was definitely not inferior to the air-rail cannon. It was one of the gifts that Meng Kangbu prepared for the future Zhou Yu on Ceylon Island.

When six light pillars spurted out from the bottom of the sea and blasted towards Gan Ning with unparalleled power, Gan Ning was not surprised at all, he even wanted to laugh.

The bright light mixed into chaotic colors and blasted towards the direction of the seventh-generation ship. The astonishing energy pressure created a huge gap on the sea surface, but even with such an astonishing blow, it stopped more than 300 meters in front of the seventh-generation ship and finally completely melted.

"What is this?" Lu Xun's back was almost soaked with sweat. When the beam of light shot over, Lu Xun really felt the shadow of death covering him. As a result, such a shocking blow just dissipated more than 300 meters away.

"Only the seventh-generation ships can use the super Xuanxiang, a special Xuanxiang that can completely restore energy attacks below a certain energy level into the essence of heaven and earth. In other words, Ziyi's hundreds of legion attacks on the seventh-generation ships that have activated the Xuanxiang formation will have no effect." Gan Ning said calmly, "Ordinary ships cannot carry this level of Xuanxiang military formation at all."

Lu Xun knew that there were many kinds of Xuanxiang magic array that could have this kind of effect. After all, calling upon the essence of heaven and earth, transforming the essence of heaven and earth, and reconstructing the essence of heaven and earth were the basic effects of the Xuanxiang magic array. However, the only one that could show such an amazing effect was the seventh-generation ship that Lu Xun saw this time.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate." Gan Ning briefly explained to Lu Xun and ordered the soldiers to activate the cannon on the bow of the ship. He did not add the solid projectiles with complex etchings into it. Those were used to deal with Montcomb. Ordinary opponents were not qualified to face such things.

The moment the gun was activated, lines appeared on the entire deck of the ship, and then the colorless essence of heaven and earth directly formed a storm of essence of heaven and earth with the energy storage unit of the gun as the core, five-colored brilliance, seven-colored light, and even dyed the entire sky.

"Is this a naval gun?" Lu Xun finally realized how powerful his father, who had a low sense of existence, was. Was this thing really made by his father?
"Yes, it's just the startup mode of the energy storage unit. Start the ship's gun and test fire!" Gan Ning said with emotion.

As Gan Ning spoke, a beam of white light was released from the ship's cannon, cutting through the wind and waves and heading straight for Ceylon. Before Ansar could react, he saw a giant transparent bowl suddenly emerge on Ceylon. However, the bowl was only formed for a moment before it was pierced by the white light and then hit the edge of Ceylon. The pale light instantly covered everyone's eyes, and then the roar and turbulence caused all the blinded Kushan soldiers to fall into chaos.

When Ansar saw clearly what had happened with tears in his eyes, he could only see that Ceylon Island had been sunken into a huge semicircle of hundreds of meters, with the sea water pouring back in with a roar. The fleet that was originally together had now obviously tilted.

At this moment Ansar clearly realized that there was a huge gap between him and the naval commander on the opposite side. To put it bluntly, even if he fully activated the group defense mode and exerted all the skills and tactics he had learned to the limit, no ship could withstand that shot.

No, it was no longer a question of whether he could hold on or not; it was a question of being over as long as he was hit. And now, just as he had regained his sight, another beam of white light pierced through him.

Gan Ning fired eleven rounds of naval guns, without noticing the Kushan fleet hidden in the blind spot, but Ansar's fleet had disappeared in the aftermath, and Ansar himself had sunk to the bottom of the sea. All the means that Meng Kangbu had deployed against Zhou Yu's fleet off the coast of Ceylon were crushed.

Super mines, super-large integrated defense circles built on the basis of earth veins and islands, and impact and kinetic energy absorption layers built on the basis of waves, all lost their meaning when facing the seventh-generation ships. Under eleven rounds of naval guns, an inner harbor of nearly one kilometer in size was blasted out of Ceylon Island.

A blow powerful enough to shatter an island is no joke. At least judging from the current performance, even if it is a super large island like Ceylon, the commander who controls the seventh-generation warships can blow up half of the island in a few years if he is willing to spend time.

"Let's go, land." Gan Ning said calmly. He didn't know who the naval officer left behind by Montcomb to guard the island was, nor did he know how many fleets the other side had. But as long as it was not Montcomb and there was no self-circulating system, it would be meaningless. Under the caliber of the seventh-generation ships, any fleet that could not provide self-circulating defense of this level would only die!

The seventh-generation ships have only two opponents at sea, one is Zhou Yu and the other is Meng Kangbu. The others are only different in appearance.

"This is too exaggerated. Is this how naval warfare works?" Lu Xun said after a long silence. He somewhat understood why Gan Ning did not dive, because there was really no need. With such attack intensity and frequency, no normal opponent would even be able to withstand it.

"That's how naval warfare works. Decades of accumulation are lost in just a few minutes." Gan Ning said calmly, "Without the self-circulation-provided defense capability beyond the limit within the attack range of this ship, there is basically only death. It's too late to dive."

"Is it too late to dive?" Lu Xun felt a gnawing pain in his teeth. The secret technique of diving is said to be enough to deal with the excessive attack created by the self-circulating system, so it should also be enough to deal with the ordinary attack of this ship.

"The one who can rely on submarine navigation to withstand the self-circulation is the governor, others don't have this ability. In fact, the guy who can rely on submarine navigation to withstand this kind of attack is better off just turning on the self-circulation to fight head-on." Gan Ning said very calmly. It's not that the submarine secret technique is not strong enough, it's that normal people don't have such a strong submarine secret technique.

"Is that so?" Lu Xun nodded. In this case, does it mean that the attack strength of this thing is actually at the level of self-loop?

"I don't know which one is stronger, but I know from having experienced that kind of attack that under the self-circulation system, the attack frequency cannot reach this level. Moreover, the seventh-generation ships can also use self-circulation. Even in the self-circulation, the seventh-generation ships can only be used as large ships, but this kind of thing..." Gan Ning didn't say the rest, but Lu Xun understood everything.

Even if the self-circulation cannot bring incredible blessing to the seventh-generation ship, the seventh-generation ship is already strong enough. Even if it only has a 1% bonus, it is enough to crush other things, not to mention that it is more than a 1% blessing!
"I can't use the navy's top secret technique of self-circulation." Gan Ning was obviously disappointed when he said this. Without this, there is no way he can become the strongest naval commander. At least that's the case in this era. If you can activate self-circulation, you are invincible!
"But this ship itself has the ability to overwhelm the system." Gan Ning said excitedly, "Let's go, soldiers, follow me to capture Ceylon!"

Ansar lost, people died, the naval fleet was defeated, all preparations and plans ended, the naval battle was over without any ships or boats being launched, Gan Ning only fired eleven long-range shots, and the patriarch of the Sethi family, the naval commander who, like Gan Ning, stood second only to Zhou Yu and Meng Kangbu, ended his life.

All the techniques and tactics, all the secret skills, all the group defense methods are like paper under the conventional attack of the seventh-generation ships. There is no difference at all.

So when Gan Ning landed on the island, he had not yet realized that his previous test launch to break the remaining means of Meng Kangbu had put an end to the navy arranged by Kushan around Ceylon.

"It's strange that Montcomb didn't leave any navy behind?" Gan Ning asked with some doubts after landing.

Although there were indeed some broken sampans on the sea when they came over, the overpowering energy attack and the backflow of waves destroyed the overall structure of the damaged warship.

As a result, there were no large ship structures on the sea, and Gan Ning did not realize that he had destroyed a main fleet of the Kushan Empire and a big shot.
