The storyline of the Altar of Heroes had ended, and the ten times army speed was gone.
The journey from Yue Ling Pass to Ling An City was about two hundred miles. The Iron Eagle Guards were all cavalrymen. If they traveled at a normal speed, it would take about eight hours. If they traveled at a rapid speed, they would be able to return to Ling An City in about three hours.
If they were infantrymen, they would need at least 14 hours to march normally, and 9 hours to march quickly.
On this day, Xu Shu was still in Linhai City, counting the spoils and arranging the aftermath. Ling An City was about 200 kilometers away from Linhai City. The messenger he had sent the day before should have arrived today.
As for Xu Shu returning to Ling An City tomorrow, it would take about two days. Xu Shu had brought back a lot of things, which slowed down the speed of the army.
"Emergency military intelligence!"
"Emergency military intelligence!"
A scout rushed straight to the Guardian's Residence at Yueling Pass.
At this time, Su Yi was still cultivating his relationship with Sun Ren!
"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?" Su Yi shouted. Coincidentally, Feng Wanzhen and Xiao Longnu weren't around at this time, so he was prepared to take advantage of Sun Ren.
"This subordinate has offended, please forgive me, my lord!”The scout hurriedly straightened his helmet and knelt down on one knee.
"Husband, forget it!" Sun Ren hugged Su Yi's arm and whispered into his ear.
"I forgive you!" Su Yi said. Sun Ren was already blowing into his ear, how could Su Yi not agree!
"Thank you, my lord!" The scout was nervous.
"What military intelligence?" Su Yi immediately asked.
"Lord, the Jinfan bandits are here!" The scout replied, his body still trembling a little.
"Jin Fan Gan Ning is here. Where is he?”Su Yi said excitedly. Finally, someone from the 20 or so people he had summoned had arrived.
"Just outside the pass!" the scout replied.
"Bring me there!" Su Yi couldn't wait to see Gan Ning.
" My lord, Gan Ning is brave and Jin Fan is powerful…" The scout didn't want Su Yi to take any risks.
"I told you to bring me there!" Su Yi interrupted.
"Yes, my lord." Cold sweat broke out on the scout's forehead.
"Husband, let Shangxiang go with you.”Sun Ren said. Of course, she didn't want to see Gan Ning. She was afraid that he would harm Su Yi.
"Alright." Su Yi immediately agreed.
"Husband, wait for Shangxiang for a while!" Sun Ren said. She was going to call Feng Wanzhen and Xiao Longnu. Gan Ning's reputation was too great for her to handle.
"Yes!" Su Yi agreed with a smile. Su Yi was overjoyed to see Gan Ning.
Soon, Su Yi brought Feng Wanzhen, Xiao Longnu, and Sun Ren to the door.
Along the way, the three women were worried. Su Yi was in high spirits and did not notice the state of the three.
Su Yi was quite shocked after he ascended the city tower. He had seen what it meant to have a powerful Jin Fan.
There were 200 battleships parked on the surface of the Spirit River. Their flags fluttered. Although most of the battleships were not impressive, their aura could only be described as extraordinary.
There were also 20,000 people gathered on the riverbank. It seemed that their equipment was not bad.
He saw the largest sailless warship among the many warships. Su Yi estimated that it should be a Gold Rank.
Currently, the two fleets under Su Yi's command didn't have gold grade warships. The territory had the ability to produce them, but they didn't have the raw materials to produce them.
"I'm Gan Ning, known as the Jinfan Thief. Who's the person in charge here? Come out and meet me!" A young man dressed in a luxurious brocade robe appeared on the battleship. He carried two short halberds on his back and a large saber at his waist. It was Gan Ning.
"Haha, so you're Gan Ning. I've heard a lot about you. I am Su Yi, the person in charge here.”Su Yi laughed and replied loudly.
"The world calls me a thief, why do you call me a chivalrous man?”Gan Ning replied loudly.
"Haha, Xing Ba is a chivalrous man known for his filial piety. How can he be called a thief?”Su Yi replied loudly.
"Haha, are you afraid of death? I call you a thief who is willing to be filial and chivalrous!" Gan Ning's tone was mocking.
Su Yi could tolerate it, but that didn't mean his woman could. Su Yi called Gan Ning the Golden Sail Ranger, but Gan Ning called Su Yi a coward.
"Sister Shangxiang, shoot an arrow at that shameless bastard!”Feng Wanzhen couldn't stand it anymore.
"Husband!" Sun Ren cast a questioning look at Su Yi.
"Don't be rash." Su Yi understood what the two of them meant and immediately stopped them.
"Are you afraid of death?" Gan Ning sneered,"The Sword of Anger (xiè) of yesteryear is a beautiful woman's song in the midst of war!"”
"F * ck, he even knows that I wanted to save Wan 'er when I was weak.”Su Yi couldn't believe it.
"Is it just a name to use Can to treat scholars?”Gan Ning taunted.
Su Yi hadn't expected Gan Ning to be so sharp-tongued.
"Husband, let Shang Xiang kill him with one arrow!”Sun Ren said as he was about to take down the Flowing Cloud Bow.
Su Yi hurriedly stopped her. My Xiang 'er, don't cause trouble at this critical moment!
"Haha, I, Su Yi, can't compare to you!”Su Yi replied loudly. Su Yi also knew some classical Chinese, so he started to show off.
Su Yi's words were easy to understand. He could understand why Gan Ning had such a big mouth, but he couldn't compare to Su Yi. When you put it that way, you're implying that Gan Ning is just a good talker. You don't have any real skills!
Sure enough, Su Yi's words immediately silenced Gan Ning.
"How can you call yourself a thief when you are a tyrant, filial, righteous, chivalrous, and ambitious?”Su Yi couldn't see Gan Ning's expression because the two of them were quite a distance away. Since Gan Ning didn't speak, Su Yi said,
"Haha, the princes are all swallows." Gan Ning immediately replied. He hadn't been upset when Su Yi had interrupted him, and he had even mocked Su Yi a few times.
"I have an endless blue sky!" Su Yi had already made it very clear. Since you are a swan, I can provide you with the blue sky to soar!
"I'd rather soar in the blue sky of the king!" Gan Ning immediately replied.
Su Yi was the one who had summoned Gan Ning. Unless Su Yi didn't want him and chased him away. Also, if you call him a thief when Gan Ning scolds you, you can forget about Gan Ning.
"Open the gates and welcome the Bravesail Ranger Gan Ning!”Su Yi ordered, expressing his trust in Gan Ning.
" Lord, Gan Ning…" Fang Rui immediately tried to persuade him.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?”Su Yi said a little angrily.
Su Yi decided to open the door. He didn't try to stop Gan Ning, so he agreed. If Gan Ning suddenly attacked, he would have to risk his life to protect him.
Feng Wanzhen and the other two women looked bitter. No one knew what they were thinking!
"Da da…"
The huge door slowly opened!
None of Gan Ning's ships moved. Gan Ning's flagship lowered a small boat. Gan Ning dismounted his weapon, jumped off the flagship, and pushed the boat into the pass alone.
Gan Ning's actions showed his trust in Su Yi and his confidence in his own strength.
Soon, someone led Gan Ning to Su Yi.
"Jinfan Thief Gan Ning greets my lord. I was rude just now. Please forgive me!”Gan Ning immediately went down on one knee to Su Yi.
"Xing Ba is too serious, please get up!”Su Yi immediately helped Gan Ning up.
Su Yi had seen many of such films and movies, and he could do it easily! He was also very happy to have Su Yi.
"Thank you, my lord!" Gan Ning said.
"Xing Ba, don't call yourself a thief anymore. From now on, Xing Ba will be the commander of the Jinfan Army!”Su Yi immediately said. Gan Ning was an Imperial General, and Su Yi had made his decision after seeing his Attributes.

"Thank you for your trust, my lord!" Gan Ning didn't know that Su Yi's position as commander was important, but he was quite grateful that Su Yi had given him such an important task.
"Xing Ba, quickly call our brothers into the city!”Su Yi said. He couldn't possibly abandon the system's summoning if Gan Ning was already here!
"My lord, I have prepared a gift for you.”Gan Ning said.
"Oh!" Su Yi was curious about what gift Gan Ning would bring him.
With Su Yi's order, the Jinfan Army quickly entered the checkpoint.
"My lord, please come with me and take a look at the gifts I have prepared.”Gan Ning said as he led Su Yi onto his flagship.
"Xing Ba, there's no rush. First, introduce me to the Jinfan athletes under Xing Ba!”Su Yi said. He was more concerned about Gan Ning's army than the present.
"My lord, I have a total of 50,000 people under me. 20,000 of them are my exclusive four-star special army, the Jinfan Army. They are proficient in water and land warfare.”"The other 30,000 can't be trained into the Jinfan Army due to their aptitude and constitution, but they're at least Tier 6."”
"Xing Ba's subordinates are all powerful soldiers!" Su Yi sighed.
"Does Xing Ba have an emperor level general under him?”Su Yi asked.
"My lord, I have no emperor-level generals or king-level generals under me. I only have five special-class generals!”Gan Ning felt a little embarrassed. The entire Jinfan Army only had one elite force.
Su Yi sighed. The system was so stingy. It didn't even give him a king level general.
"My lord, this general will first bring you to see the gift this general has given you.”Gan Ning said when he saw Su Yi sigh.
"Xing Ba, let's go take a look!" Su Yi laughed.
"Brother Yi, let's go too!" Feng Wanzhen immediately said. She was still worried that Gan Ning would harm Su Yi.
"Then come!" Su Yi agreed without thinking!
"My lord, who are they?" Gan Ning asked curiously.
"They are your matriarchs!" Su Yi said.
"Ning greets Mistress!" Gan Ning didn't know who they were, so he bowed to each of them. He didn't dare underestimate them.
"No need for formalities!" Feng Wanzhen didn't really care about Gan Ning and didn't have a good impression of him.
Gan Ning didn't mind. Since it's the mistress, then I'll just have to be polite.
Soon, Gan Ning brought Su Yi and the others to his flagship.
"Xing Ba, this battleship of yours is not bad.”Su Yi said.
"My lord, this is a gold-grade ship, the only one in the world. It is 300 meters long, 30 meters wide, and has a draft of 10 meters. It is equipped with 50 large catapults and 50 large ballistae. Use the energy crystal as the driving force." Gan Ning said proudly.
"I snatched this from Duke Ling Ping, hehe.”Gan Ning said sheepishly.
"Xing Ba, well done. This was a weapon that could dominate the sea!”Su Yi said happily and gave Gan Ning a thumbs up.
"Thank you for your praise, my lord." Gan Ning could tell that Su Yi valued the troll army.
"Xing Ba, although you have a lot of ships under your command, they don't seem to be of a high grade.”Su Yi looked around and saw that Gan Ning's ships were of various models.
"My lord, other than this Henghai warship, I only have ten silver-level warships, twenty bronze-level warships, eighty black-iron warships, and a hundred ordinary warships.”Gan Ning said. Only Bronze and above could be called a ship.
Gan Ning's ships were in this state because the ruler didn't pay much attention to the navy.
"Xing Ba, in the future, you can eliminate the warships below the Black Iron Rank. I will try my best to provide you with Silver Rank warships.”Su Yi said. Gan Ning's Jinfan Corps was a four-star special force, so Su Yi valued it very much. Silver-level warships were the mainstream of future naval battles. Gold-level warships were too difficult to build and could not be equipped on a large scale.
"Xing Ba, the power source of the Henghai warship is energy crystals, but where does this thing come from?”Su Yi asked.
"My Lord, there is a small energy crystal mine in Ling Country's Ling Xiang County. I will snatch it!”"But I only have a thousand low-grade energy crystals and a dozen mid-grade energy crystals left."”
"Haha, Gan Ning's a rich leader!”Su Yi thought to himself that he should give Gan Ning a big gift first.
"Xing Ba, since that's the case, let me, the lord, give you a big gift.”Su Yi laughed.
"Thank you, my lord." Gan Ning didn't know what Su Yi was going to give him, but he didn't usually find anything that caught his eye.
"Xing Ba, watch carefully!" Su Yi took out the Blue Sea Ship from his personal space. There were five Gold grade ships at once.
"Xing Ba, what do you think?" Su Yi took out five battleships from his personal space and showed them to Gan Ning, shocking him.
These ships came with their own equipment. Fifty large catapults and fifty large ballistae were installed on both sides. One heavy catapult was installed on the front deck, and two heavy ballistae were installed on the rear deck. Every single one of them was protected by armor, much more advanced than Gan Ning's.
" My lord, this…" Gan Ning was shocked. Five behemoths appeared at once.
"The sea is so vast. These five gold-level Sea Ships are just small boats in the sea!”Su Yi sighed. He was acting tough!
"My lord, you're right." Gan Ning could tell that Su Yi thought highly of him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out such a treasure. His loyalty to Su Yi immediately increased.
"Xing Ba, I still have six of these battleships here, and one of them is even platinum.”Su Yi's casual words stunned Gan Ning. "Unfortunately, our territory doesn't have an energy crystal mine. Even with your thousand or so crystals, you won't be able to last long!”
"My lord, Lingxiang County has a crystal mine!”Gan Ning said nonchalantly.
"Haha, Gan Xingba is the one who knows me!”Su Yi said happily.
