Although everyone was mentally prepared for the war, before that, everyone thought that the war would break out on an auspicious day after the autumn harvest was completed.

When Lin Hai announced that we still had seven days to prepare, most people were actually confused deep down.

This is easy to understand. Imagine you know the company is laying you off, you've even seen the layoff list and know you'll be "graduated" at the end of the third quarter. But what if, at the end of the second quarter, HR happily finds you and tells you there's still a spot left for the second quarter, and they've carefully considered it and, because you all know each other well and have such a good relationship, they've reserved it for you... All you have to do is sign your name, get some money, and slink out of the company...

I believe that most people are also confused at this time.

This is Lin Hai’s advantage!

He was laid off!

Lin Hai never thought that the experience of being suddenly laid off would become one of his psychological advantages. It can only be said that things in the world are unpredictable.

Of course, if you have ever had the experience of being broken up with by your girlfriend without any preparation or knowledge, this might also come in handy at this time...

However, Lin Hai looked back at the four leaders and didn't think they had ever experienced a breakup. After all, they still had to flip cards every day to decide where to sleep that night...

But no matter what, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back, and life or death is just a matter of a moment. Therefore, even though deep down they still have a thousand horses running around and spitting in everyone's faces, these people who are used to being heads of state know that as long as the order to go to war is issued in seven days, the largest war machine in the entire continent will be activated at full power, and no one can stop it.

However, the alliance leaders did not leave the people and soldiers without any explanation.

Wasn’t the original plan to choose an auspicious day after the autumn harvest to start the war?

There is no way to delay it until after the autumn harvest, so we must choose an auspicious day.

People who are familiar with Lin Hai know that in Lin Hai's view, auspicious days can be defined.

Wang Maoduan, the chief technician of the Qinghe Chemical Industry Department, the head of the First Military Secret Factory, and the imperial chief magistrate (temporarily serving in this capacity), was tasked with carrying out a massive celestial prayer ceremony on a high platform hastily erected by the construction team, gathering all the religious figures he could find near Liming City...

After a three-hour long religious sacrificial ceremony performed by numerous Taoist priests, monks, lamas, fortune-tellers and shamans from all over the country, Wang Maoduan, wearing a purple robe he had just "borrowed" from a Taoist temple, announced on behalf of God that June 23, the fifth year of Jianchu, which was five days later, would be the most suitable day to start a war in recent decades!

Of course, that's not what the almanac says...

Wang Maoduan gave a very reasonable explanation for this from a religious perspective - we are offering sacrifices to heaven, right?

It’s like you go to your leader to do something, and the leader says it can’t be done.

Then we gave gifts, and the leader said that this matter could not be done in principle.

Now we've been presented with a gift we've never seen before. The leader said this was the original plan, but there were issues with the previous planning, so I'm changing it now...

With this explanation, everyone understood. After all, everyone wants their leader to do things for them. If they don't have this idea, then they just want to be a leader...

As for the religious figures who knew the inside story, it didn't matter. They belonged to the newly reorganized religious assault team. Not only were they stationed far away from the normal military camps, but they were also ranked at the front of the assault sequence. Well, everything was just right.

On June 23rd, the fifth year of Jianchu, the war began at the hour of Chen.

Lin Hai's voice was transmitted through the broadcasting system to the entire Dark Abyss encirclement, Dawn City, Jiankang, Zhongdu, Xijing, Zhongxing Prefecture and every city and village on this land.

This was also the first time that people across the continent heard the voice from the highest levels of the alliance since they knew that a war would break out.

"People of the Dawn Continent, speaking here are all members of the Council of the Alliance Heads of State. I, Qinghe Emperor Lin Hai, speak to you on behalf of all the heads of the Alliance Heads of State Council, on behalf of Emperor Xia Junao of the Great Liang Empire, Emperor Chen Xu of the Great Chen Dynasty, Wei Mingyuan, the King of the Great Xia Kingdom, Xin Yuetu, and all the chiefs and chieftains of the autonomous tribes.

Today, we stand here! Standing on the lands of all people on the Dawn Continent! Standing in Dawn City, a city built with our hard work and wisdom! At my side are the most powerful armed forces in the entire continent! They are the most powerful armed forces we have ever established!

Standing in front of me is a race, a race groaning in humiliation and misfortune!

Ever since the Abyss and the Dawn Continent simultaneously descended upon this world, our freedom and pride as humans have been lost! For countless millennia of history, both those we can explore and those we cannot comprehend, the Abyss has consistently used despicable and vile means to drive us to the brink of genocide, blocking our understanding and trapping us in the trap of genocide.

Tell me, how long will we have to live like this?

This continent has never been an easy place to survive. Our ancestors fought through hardships to gain even a sliver of land. We slash and burn to earn our daily bread. We weave, we build, we smelt, we use every possible means, hoping to thrive on this continent, to make our ancestors proud and our descendants thrive. But all this will be in vain. The torment from the abyss will become increasingly frequent and intense in the future. They are no longer content to be the mastermind behind the scenes; they will step forward to openly captive and enslave us!
