Inside a temporary command tent of the beast army from the Lingyun River rainforest.
A member of the Chief of Staff's Guard received a secretly delivered letter and quietly entered the tent.
"Chief of Staff, I just received your letter."
After the soldier entered the tent, he did not immediately approach the chief of staff.
Standing at a distance, he reported in a voice that was barely audible.
His voice was not loud, but his pronunciation was clear and his content was concise and clear.
The thick tents can completely isolate the outside world, so the voices will not be heard outside.
In front of him, the chief of staff, sitting behind a carved wooden table in the center of the tent, looked quite serious.
There were many white hairs among his originally black hair, and it was obvious that he was getting old.
Behind him, one could vaguely see red and black tentacles processing files simultaneously.
The chief of staff of the beastman tribe, who had the bloodline of soul-eating worms, raised his eyes.
He recognized that it was a member of his own guard at a glance.
"Hand it over."
After hearing this, the guard stepped forward respectfully and handed the letter to the other guards beside him.
After being checked by three people, the letter was confirmed to be safe and then brought to the chief of staff.
The moment the chief of staff saw the letter, his pupils trembled slightly, but there was no expression on his face.
He did not destroy the red wax seal with black tentacles outlined on it, but simply cut open the edge of the envelope with a knife and took out the letter inside.
The letter was not big, and there was only this sentence on it:
"The Second Prince of the Sea Tribe intends to launch a surprise attack on southern Kaiyang, and his army has already set out."
The chief of staff gently stroked the elegant and vigorous handwriting. The familiar handwriting made him subconsciously lower his eyes slightly to hide his turbulent emotions.
Then, they said, "The front troops should remain stationary, and the rear troops should withdraw to guard against any situation at the mouth of the river."
If the sea people want to launch a surprise attack, they will definitely not let go of the south bank of Kaiyang in addition to Lingyun River.
In this way, if the human race in Yin City is not notified in advance, it will suddenly fall into a dangerous situation where it will be attacked from all sides.
In that case, let’s just take advantage of their trick.
All they need to do is retreat to the rainforest in advance and wait for the sea tribe to weaken the human race.
The beastmen have their backs to the inland, so they can retreat to protect themselves and avoid heavy losses.
Even if the human race also has secret agents on the sea tribe's side and can learn about this sneak attack in advance, the beast tribe will at least not lose.
Just when the beastmen received the news in advance and began to make their plans.
…
On the other side, the human army on the other side of the Lingyun River also received an urgent military report from the Jianjia Pavilion.
Cao Yuxin, commander of the southern Kaiyang garrison, is currently stationed at a military base between Yin City and the front line.
He was now thinking about something seriously, his hands clenched into fists, his nails almost digging into the flesh.
In this ever-changing situation within the human race, the actions of the reformists are like a long and difficult game of chess.
This war, which is completely led and commanded by the reformists, is an opportunity that their faction has been waiting for many years and cannot be missed.
However, nearly three months have passed since the temporary seminar for all parliament members after the "Bloody Examination".
He led his troops to attack the Lingyun River rainforest, and it has been nearly two months.
Perhaps it was because of the complex terrain of the rainforest, or perhaps it was because his command ability was limited.
Anyway, his performance has already caused some complaints from senior lawmakers.
The council members sitting in the capital's sub-cities constantly made accusations in meetings, questioning the ability and decision-making of the reformists.
Even at the suggestion of other factions, they began to consider whether to replace the person leading the operation.
For Cao Yuxin now, the situation is even worse.
If he completely loses the chance of winning the war against the beastmen because of the attack of the sea tribe, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The orc subjugation war was an important battle concerning the ownership of Lingyun River.
If he fails, not only will the human race lose everything, but his own future will also be ruined.
Those senior lawmakers will never let him and the reformists behind him off easily.
He was dismissed from office, tried, and disappeared from the political arena without a trace - this was considered a leniency.
Cao Yuxin sat in the dim tent, tightly holding the intelligence about the sea tribe's impending raid in his hand.
His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes revealed endless fear and anxiety.
It felt as if countless cold bugs were crawling on his back, and cold sweat kept oozing out of his forehead, soaking his hair and collar.
"No, we have to send some people to use the mudflats to stop the sea tribe's army from landing on the south coast."
Cao Yuxin gritted his teeth and secretly calculated the gains and losses in his mind.
Ask for help from Jianjia Pavilion and ask them to take action from within the sea clan?
What a joke! They also have their own undercover mission. Helping them will only expose Jianjia Pavilion in advance.
In this way, Cao Yuxin's crime is even more serious.
He knew that using human lives to resist the sea people was the safest way at the moment.
Yin City is sandwiched between Canglang Ocean and Lingyun River, which makes it destined to have prosperous commerce. However, once a war breaks out, it will be easy to attack but difficult to defend.
The mudflats have complex terrain and are extremely muddy, making it difficult for the sea clan's fleet to dock, and their movements there will be somewhat restricted.
If we can make good use of this terrain, we may be able to hold off the sea tribe's attack for a while until support arrives.
However, he also knew very well that the human fleet would not arrive so quickly in the short term.
During this time, the sea clan's fleet was approaching the south coast.
Sending people to the shore to stop the sea clan fleet is tantamount to exchanging human lives for the safety of Yin City.
However, compared to their own future, their own lives and property, it doesn't matter if those low-level soldiers sacrifice themselves.
At this moment, he didn't even dare to think about the multiple crimes he committed in killing a large number of soldiers.
He just spoke indifferently, called the messenger, and gave the order.
"Gather the soldiers below the second level of the Xuanjie realm and immediately go to the south bank beach to be on guard."
…
Zi Sui followed the sea clan's fleet that was transporting prisoners. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the metal hull of the ship, reflecting an orange-red color like flowing blood.
In the evening, the fleet crossed the Fenhai Reef, which served as the boundary, and officially entered the Canglang Ocean.
The bloody smell mixed with the howling sound of the wind drifted in faintly.
Combining the various information he had obtained with He Yu when he was bored along the way, Zi Sui easily guessed the origin of this blood energy.
Those are traces left by war, the product of the increasingly intense friction near Lingyun River in recent times.
When the sea tribe army comes ashore tonight, the fragrance will only become stronger.
Zi Sui naturally would not miss this opportunity to collect flesh and blood.
He confirmed again that the puppets in the cabin that he had planted with He Yu were all normal.
Afterwards, a space wormhole invisible to outsiders opened, and he crossed hundreds of kilometers and headed towards the southern coast of Kaiyang Island.
