The wicked man nodded. This was precisely the source of his confidence.

For the past five months, the Mohist mechanics have poured almost all their energy into this fleet. From the ship's structure to the design of its mechanisms, they have strived for perfection in every aspect.

Each warship is a mobile fortress, and each mechanism is a weapon of victory.

"Give the order to the entire army," he said in a deep voice. "Form ranks according to plan. Remember, once the battle begins, do not allow any enemy ship to approach!"

"Yes, sir!"

As the command was given, the fifty warships began to adjust their formation. Special signal flags made by the Mohists fluttered atop the ships, directing the position of each vessel.

This is a formation specifically designed by the wicked man based on the characteristics of the Baiyue navy. The vanguard breaks through the enemy, the flanks contain them, and the rear guard provides support.

Once they are surrounded, it will be their death!

"Grand Commandant, look!" Zhang Erhe suddenly pointed into the distance, "The warships of the Baiyue!"

Sure enough, a massive fleet could be vaguely seen gathering at the horizon.

Judging by the scale, there must be no fewer than a hundred ships. Clearly, the Baiyue people had also mobilized their entire forces, ready to fight it out at sea.

"Haha!" the wicked man laughed loudly. "Well done! Order the entire army to prepare for battle! Let the Baiyue see what the might of Qin is all about!"

Logs, catapults, repeating crossbows... one by one, Mohist mechanisms were installed in battle positions.

The wicked man knew that the Water King was also watching them from the opposing fleet. He was a figure even the Baiyue navy held in high esteem.

But he was not afraid at all.

This battle is not only about seizing sea routes, but also about making the world understand—

On land, the Qin Dynasty can already be considered invincible.

Now is the time to sweep across the world!

"Gentlemen," he said, looking at his generals, "are you ready?"

"Grand Commandant, please give the order!" the generals responded in unison.

The wicked man took a deep breath, his gaze sharp as lightning:

"Pass on my order: the entire army shall attack!"
