Ten days later.

Thanks to the fact that the heads of the five major forces habitually bring their most important and capable ministers with them, the first joint meeting of ministers from various forces on the mainland was successfully held.

The meeting went smoothly. After all, the five heads of state were sitting on the stage, so even though their minds and cognition had suffered a huge shock, the audience seemed extremely peaceful.

After all, even if he was sent to attack the Abyss, that would be four years later. But if he offended his immediate superior, and his immediate superior was an emperor who was above secular laws, then he would definitely demonstrate on the spot how miserable a human being's end would be.

Fortunately, with the assistance of the four heads of state, Lin Hai relied on the sand table that had just been built and the clay had not yet completely dried, and explained the defense measures inside the abyss in detail.

As for the weapons in the abyss, well, Lin Hai believed that everyone, especially the generals understood it. After all, he asked three times, and anyone who didn't understand could raise their hands, but no one answered, so he could only trust the generals' ability to understand.

Of course, Lin Hai knew full well that until the day the bombs exploded right beside them, the generals might never be able to imagine the horror of that scene. And considering that the Abyss's weapons technology tree had already reached the era of World War I, and even some parts had reached the late stages of World War II, the possibility of biological and chemical weapons... was even more beyond their comprehension.

The generals were quite open-minded about this.

Duke Longqiu of Yan summed up the mentality of these ruthless people in one sentence: They will all die anyway, whether they are hacked to death, shot to death, or blown to death, it doesn’t really matter. As for the plague that makes people sick that His Majesty Lin Hai mentioned, it is even less of a problem.

There are only two outcomes if you get the plague: either die now or die later.

If they die now, then this plague seems to be no different from the other weapons His Majesty Lin Hai mentioned. They all kill people, and they can even leave their bodies intact, which sounds more humane.

If you have to wait and die, then why bother? Just pick up your knife and keep charging. You might die before the disease strikes, so why bother?

As for the strength of the defense forces in the Abyss, both Lin Hai's most trusted brother Wang Liang Luyou and Longqiu Gao Chong from other countries agreed that since such complex fortifications have been built in the Abyss, it would be impossible to defend such a large area and fill the front line to the point where the minimum defense requirements are met with 10,000 soldiers, and 4,000 is even more of a fantasy.

Of course, this is not important.

The generals gave the five heads of state a solution, which was to mobilize the power of the entire continent to fight, no matter if there was only one person or ten thousand people on the Abyss's defense line.

"In war, we always have to underestimate the enemy. We can't rely on the enemy's weakness to bring us victory, and this time the enemy is not weak at all. So after our discussion, if we want to win with one strike, we need to mobilize all our strength and give our utmost effort. After all, if we can't win, we will all die, so let's give them a full-strength attack!"

After several hours of discussion, the representative of the military generals, the oldest and most experienced Duke of Yan, gave their answer.

"If we want to give it our all, we need to start preparing now, and we don't need to hold back. Simply put, if we launch a general offensive tomorrow and we want to win within a day, then we don't even need to prepare food and supplies for the day after tomorrow. We can either charge in, and as long as we win and some of our men survive, there will always be a way to deal with it later. Or we lose, and the supplies left behind will be useless."

Ling Yang, on behalf of all the civil servants on the mainland, said: Maybe we cannot be the best in governing the country, but when it comes to how to drain the pond and squeeze out all the potential of the mainland, we must be professional.

There were even ministers from the Chen Dynasty who stood up and said that their ancestors had been officials in the Chen Dynasty for more than ten generations, and there had not been a single honest official. They were very proficient in plundering land. If the emperor needed it, he was willing to offer the "Corruption Manual" passed down by his ancestors, which would surely make the power of the people "voluntarily and proactively" be gathered to the court.

Of course, Chen Xu's hatred was another matter, but Lin Hai discovered that Xia Junao was really considering such a plan...

It has to be said that once he becomes an emperor, he may not be the same species as his people...

On July 1, the first year of Jianchu, the Alliance Propaganda Department, composed of propaganda agencies from five countries, jointly issued a conference communiqué signed by the heads of state of the five countries and co-signed by the heads of state of nineteen forces. This conference in Dawn City, which was watched by the entire continent, finally unveiled its mysterious veil to ordinary people, and the bloody truth was intuitively displayed to the public.

Excerpt from the Dawn Continental Alliance Bulletin.

The leaders agreed that all people were threatened by a hostile force called "The Abyss".

"Dark Abyss", as the most evil and bloody enemy in history, has been secretly lurking on the continent for countless times. All dynasties in the continent have fought a desperate battle with the Dark Abyss.

Now, the leaders of the alliance have received accurate intelligence that the Abyss will launch an all-out war against the entire continent within the next four years. It is reported that the intensity and severity of this war will exceed any war in the continent's history, and if we are defeated, no one, whether military or civilian, will be able to survive.

The ultimate goal of the Abyss is to exterminate all humans on the continent.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the continent's various factions united unprecedentedly. At the suggestion of His Majesty Lin Hai, the continent was officially renamed the Dawn Continent, symbolizing the irreconcilable stance of all humanity on the continent against the Abyss. Simultaneously, Dawn City would serve as the Dawn Continent Alliance's war headquarters, commanded by all alliance leaders. The leaders' presence on the front lines also demonstrated...
