"Lord God, a large number of sea beasts have been spotted near the bay. Judging from their direction, they should be heading towards us."
The mermaid who was exploring ahead hurried back to report.
"Is that so? Then we will strengthen the garrison at the mouth of the bay, send the coastal troops to inform the human army on land of the news, and prepare the main force in the rear to begin planning the attack."
Xia Liuli immediately became alert upon hearing the news, walked out of the temple, opened the Divine Realm Network and started contacting Zhao Yuqing.
The entire coastal area and surrounding areas began to deploy defenses, and the short musketeers of the Shenqi Kingdom and the city-guarding infantry were already heading towards the coastal defenses.
"The sea monster is indeed attacking from the sea."
In a heavily guarded building in Xinqi City, Wang Kun said calmly.
This situation had already been taken into consideration. The main force of ordinary human beings in the entire Sea Beast Kingdom had been annihilated, and sea beasts were more suitable for sea attacks than land attacks.
"Well, you, the Shenqi Nation, will go first. If the other side sends out their main force right away, our Yan Nation's main combat force will be there soon."
Luo Wu looked quietly at the map in front of him, feeling a little solemn.
The pressure from the sea beasts coming from the sea is not that of ordinary human armies. These beasts all have spiritual powers, and most of them are spiritual units. This war is obviously not easy.
"What I'm more worried about now is the possibility of the Sea Beast Kingdom and the Mermaid Kingdom in the East China Sea joining forces. If that happens, the pressure on us will be even greater, and we must be fully prepared to retreat."
Luo Wu looked at Wang Kun with a serious expression. As the commander this time, he would definitely not make the same mistake of underestimating the opponent as last time.
"That's right, but there will be soldiers from Liuli Country coming to share the pressure in the ocean direction. Their soldiers are considered to be the most powerful among the current gods."
Wang Kun pointed to the bay in the middle, and then briefly introduced the armed forces of the Liuli Divine Kingdom that were currently known.
"In this case, we need to establish contact with the Glazed Divine Kingdom and form a joint advisory center. We can't put all our hopes here. Time is precious right now. Even if we hold off this large-scale attack, our progress will likely be limited here. Therefore, we need to move the entire front outward."
Luo Wu pointed at the huge island on the map and slid his finger along the coast from the southeast bay to the capital of the Sea Beast Kingdom in the north.
"We in Yan Country currently have three fronts, all equipped with the latest equipment. We have also obtained authorization from the king for the supply of bolt-action rifles in the rear. You should arrange for the frontline firearm troops to be fully equipped. Cao Zhuo is relatively simple, and those with a basic foundation can quickly master it."
Luo Wu picked up the bolt-action rifle from the side, handed it to Wang Kun, and taught him to try it a few more times.
“You want…”
Wang Kun is naturally not a stupid person. The current situation is very clear. The main force of Yan State will not be sent here.
"We will arrange for the Yan Nation's First Front Army to cooperate with you in defending the front line. The Second and Third Front Armies will continue their current operations, directly attacking the enemy's capital, cutting off their supply routes, and forcing them to open a second front, creating an opportunity for this counterattack."
Luo Wu explained the strategy in detail. Before the war, Duan Tianming had handed over almost all the authority to Luo Wu. In the entire Yan Kingdom, Duan Tianming was naturally ranked first in terms of internal affairs and business development capabilities. However, when it came to large-scale military strategies, he was only capable of commanding a small part of the army, but would be overwhelmed once the number of troops exceeded 10,000.
Duan Tianming is very clear about his abilities on this point, so when it comes to this kind of war, he still has to leave it to professionals.
"I think we need to wait until the combat staff of the Liuli Divine Nation arrives before we can discuss the coordination measures in detail. Yan Nation's action of expanding the battle line this time is too dangerous. We still need the cooperation of Liuli Nation to defend the coastal supply lines."
Wang Kun immediately pointed out the key part of this plan.
If you want to arrange the army to march thousands of miles along the coastal plains, the rear supply line must be guaranteed. If the rear supply is cut off without full preparation, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Well, so this time the plan requires stealth, speed, and a powerful strike to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."
Luo Wu used three words to make arrangements for this bold strategic plan.
Needless to say, the relevant discussions afterwards were all carried out. Anyway, the Second Front Army of Yan State, which was operating in the extended area, had already received the news and started to prepare in cooperation with the cavalry of the Third Front Army.
What we have to face now is the huge pressure from the coastal front.
······
In the offshore area, under the sunlight, the ocean has lost its original color.
At first glance, you can see blue, black, pink, and red. The area can be large or small, and the distribution can be dense or scattered.
The entire East China Sea region, including the large number of sea beasts on land, have basically gathered together. Looking from the coastal defense heights, they are so densely packed that there is no end in sight.
In front of this group of sea beasts, a huge fishman holds a steel fork in his hand and wears a crown on his head, looking majestic.
"Soldiers of the Sea Beast Kingdom, attack! Do not retreat! Let these ordinary human slaves see our capabilities. Captured sea beast slaves, there is no time to retreat. Charge forward or die."
"I believe you will make the wisest choice. As long as you charge forward this time and don't retreat, you can become part of our ocean tribe and no longer be lowly slaves. If you retreat, you will have only one fate: death!"
Simple words are still very effective for these mostly simple-minded sea beasts. With just a few words, the morale of this army of at least 100,000 sea beasts was all mobilized.
From this perspective, the king of the Sea Beast Kingdom does have a certain talent for leadership.
"roar!"
"kill!"
"ah!"
Chaotic and uneven sounds, messy charges brought about by different speeds.
The whole scene gave people a strong deterrent effect, and the battlefield was displayed in a very tragic way.
These sea beasts cleverly bypassed the heavily defended bay entrance and instead attacked from the surrounding coastal areas, opening an exit through the enemy's weak line.
"For the gods! For freedom!"
The captured slave sea beasts shouted this slogan. They had lost their gods, their heritage, and the foundation of civilization.
All that is left for them is to charge forward, and the reason for the charge has gradually changed from the gods to freedom. This can perhaps be regarded as a disguised form of personality development and ideological liberation!
"Don't charge, go back to the shore. The Mermaid Mage starts firing cannonballs, and the Giant Lizard Knight retreats and defends."
Near the coastal area, the soldiers of Liuli Kingdom began to retreat gradually. They originally thought that it was just a small-scale invasion of sea beasts, but they didn't expect that it would be a big move right at the beginning. Naturally, they could not rush forward and die.
