The dragon shark is also a unique water beast in the wild waters.
They have a slender body, like a dragon without claws, but have a rugged and huge mouth like a sea shark. They are one of the top hunters in the wild waters. They swim extremely fast, and their endurance is far inferior to that of the river ox. However, in a short sprint of three to five hours, their speed can reach more than three times that of the river ox.
Six dragon sharks came in the waves, and the boats they dragged were also holding two sides to recognize the cards.
"Prefect of Mangzhou", "Mo".
"Master Mo Yu, the governor of Mangzhou, is here. Oh, their formation is not small. There are thirty escort ships accompanying them!"
On the fish market pier, a fisherman climbed up a big tree by the river, looking into the distance and shouting loudly.
"Can you not bring more people? The section of the river between Mangzhou and Minzhou can be regarded as the territory of the three states. If we don't bring more guards, if the Mangzhou prefect is kidnapped by the giant bandits of the three states, That’s embarrassing!”
Amidst the sharp screams of dragon sharks, the ship of the Mangzhou Prefecture slowly docked at the pier. The Mangzhou Prefecture Mo Mo, who was wearing a wide green robe and holding a cane, had an elegant white hair and silver beard. With the support of two maids, Yu walked tremblingly along the gangway to the dock.
Standing on the dock and taking a breath, Mo Yu narrowed his small triangular eyes and naturally placed his left hand on the tender waist of the maid next to him.
"Everyone, hehe, hehe, hehe, Dragon Gate Banquet, a big carp with golden scales over one foot long! Okay, okay, okay, this time, I came at the right time!"
He hunched over his waist and coughed heavily, then slid his left hand down half a foot. Mo Yu rolled his turbid eyes twice and said slowly: "Bachelor Zhou Liuyun, a well-educated master from Bailu Academy, good, good, good!"
After saying a few incomprehensible words, Mo Yu stopped talking and stepped onto a carriage. Surrounded by dozens of guards, the carriage moved briskly towards Yazhou City.
Behind Mo Yu, dozens of people from aristocratic families who were powerful in Mangzhou and usually able to influence the world got into the carriage with gloomy expressions and hurriedly followed Mo Yu's team.
Like Minzhou's fleet, the thirty warships accompanying Mo Yu did not dock, but were also lined up on the Baimang River.
The people at the Baimangjiang Fish Market Pier and the Commercial Commodity Pier had not yet woken up from the shock of the successive arrivals of the Minzhou Prefect and the Mangzhou Prefect, when the high-pitched and clear birdsong sounded again in the air.
A large group of shadows quickly crossed the ground. Everyone on the dock looked up and saw giant birds with wingspans of several feet, either in groups of three or five, or more than a dozen gathered together, like dark clouds passing quickly. Sky.
On the backs of those giant birds were people of varying sizes, including men and women, all of whom were beautifully dressed.
Many stewards of wealthy families in Yazhou on the pier rubbed their eyes. From a distance of more than a hundred feet, they vaguely recognized the origins of these people riding on giant birds.
The top aristocratic figures from Minzhou and Mangzhou followed Zhu Jie and Mo Yu and came to Yazhou on their ships.
As for the representatives of the middle and lower families, they were obviously not qualified to be invited by Zhu Jie and Mo Yu, but they also received invitations to the Longmen Banquet, so they could only use their own special way to rush over.
These small and medium-sized families do not have the financial resources to tame and raise giant beasts such as river oxen and dragon sharks, but there are countless giant birds to ride on in the vast wilderness. The flight of these giant birds is extinct, and their speed is much faster than the river ox and the dragon shark.
Around Shiwanmanghuang, apart from the strong and uncomfortable winds at high altitudes, driving these giant birds for long distances is much safer than taking a boat.
Waves left and right, seeing hundreds of representatives of small and medium-sized families in Minzhou and Mangzhou flying through the sky on giant birds, everyone on the dock held their breath. The scene they saw today, Enough for them to brag and discuss for the next half year.
Suddenly, a low sound of war drums came from the direction of Baimang River Estuary.
"There are still people coming! Scary, it's such a big boat, this, this, what kind of boat is this?" A fisherman lying on a big tree looked in the direction of the drum sound, his body trembled, and he almost Fell from the tree.
The masts are like forests, the sails are like clouds, and the sails with strange colors are like the clouds in the sky. Each huge talisman shines brightly. The wind on the river is very small, but these huge sails blow on their own, pushing the giant ship upstream. And up.
The original warships of the Minzhou and Mangzhou navies were already top-notch giant ships around Shiwanmanghuang. The warships, which were five feet high and more than thirty feet long, were enough to run rampant in the great rivers of Shiwanmanghuang.
But compared with these huge ships approaching side by side, like mountains, the warships of the two states suddenly seemed dwarfed.
Ten giant ships lined up in a row, with ferocious animal heads carved on the bows that were more than ten feet high. I don't know what the mystery of these animal head statues is. Their mouths and eyes continued to spit out thick smoke and bright light. It’s daunting.
The nearly one hundred feet long hull is made entirely of black riveted steel plates. The thick steel plates are engraved with densely packed strange traces. From time to time, strange streams of light follow these traces and flow rapidly from the bow to the stern.
The giant ships lined up in a row were like mountains pressing against the top of the mountain, and the huge waves roared upstream. The warships of Minzhou and Mangzhou hurriedly moved to the distance, not daring to block the passage of these giant ships.
Even though they dodge quickly, the waves set off by the giant ship still pushed their hulls to shake violently, and the waves even hit their deck.
At a glance, there were at least three hundred large and small armored ships stretching for nearly a hundred miles. There are huge war drums on the bows of many giant ships. There are shirtless men holding drum hammers, jumping and jumping beside the war drums, beating the huge drums continuously, and the sound is hundreds of miles away.
On the sails of those giant ships, complex and beautiful family crests faced the sun, emitting dazzling light.
Under these family emblems, there are ancient seal characters that describe the family affairs. On the sails of dozens of giant ships, "Li", "Zhao", "Lin", "Shi", "Qiao" can be seen. ", "Han" six surnames.
The six rich men Li Qian, Zhao Kuo and his party who were killed by Chu Tian yesterday had the same surnames.
These giant ships come from the hinterland of Jin Dynasty!
These giant ships are the aid to Zhou Liuyun from the major families who have a secret cooperation agreement with Zhou Liuyun!
These giant ships had already headed towards Yazhou before Zhou Liuyun set off to return to Yazhou. It's just that Zhou Liuyun traveled lightly. He returned to Yazhou a few days early, and these giant ships just arrived today!
It was a coincidence, or God's will, that at a critical point less than two hours before the Dragon Gate Banquet was held, the combined fleet of thirty-two wealthy families from the hinterland of the Jin Dynasty arrived in Yazhou in a mighty manner, and came to a distance from Yazhou City. There are only thirty miles of commercial docks.
The first batch of ten giant ships docked arrogantly at the dock, and one of the giant ships even smashed a trestle on the commercial cargo dock to pieces.
Gangways made of steel plates stretched out from the open cabin, and large groups of armored and fully armed family private soldiers filed out.
There was a sound of "crash", and the family battle flags were raised one after another, flying fiercely in the morning wind.
