The oath's forceful declaration of war caught the entire battlefield off guard, not only the sea creatures but also the human forces, who belonged to the land faction.
The Japanese army, which had landed on the Chinese mainland from Dongsheng Shenzhou seeking refuge, halted its advance at this moment.
"What should we do? The Chinese oath has issued a warning. If we cross the line, it will probably be a kill order from them!" The highest-ranking Japanese general was so worried that his hair had turned gray.
Japan is an island nation, and it was the first country to be affected in the naval and land war. In just a few days, the entire country sank into the sea and had no choice but to seek refuge in foreign lands. Although they harbored ambitions, they were also aware that their nation was on the verge of extinction.
"We cannot cross the line any further. Currently, only China can hold its own against the Sea Clan on the main battlefield. If China decides to quell the internal strife at all costs, our Japanese clan will perish before we can even achieve victory on land!" the Shogunate minister advised.
"fart!"
Another left-wing leader angrily declared, "Our Japanese people are the noblest people, and no race can destroy us!"
The self-proclaimed noble leftists were completely unaware of the gravity of the situation. The sinking of Japan demonstrated that a country without any strategic depth could not survive such a massive naval and land battle.
Just as the two factions in Japan were locked in a dispute, a spaceship traversed the void and arrived above them.
"Your Majesty, China's ultimatum has arrived. Make a decision quickly!"
The emergence of the space-class warship is China's final warning. When China throws its first punch, it signifies the awakening of the entire nation's will, and no foreign power will be allowed to sleep soundly beside its bed.
"All soldiers, listen to my command! Report your troop data to the nearest Chinese city. Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from our Great Japanese nation. Our Great Japanese nation will no longer bear any responsibility for your personal actions!" The frail old man slowly issued a command, which seemed to have drained all his energy, representing the decline of the Great Japanese nation.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"
Countless people knelt down below, but the old man paid no attention, only muttering some words to himself.
"The gears of history have turned once again. China still stands tall, while we Japanese have been utterly defeated."
"But you must remember, Japan may have lost, but humanity has not!"
"Now, we can only hope that China will not hold us accountable for our sins in Japan and will give our people a way to live!"
...
Almost simultaneously, news of victory spread across the turbulent land of Kyushu.
Japan has integrated all its forces and reported to the capital of Tianzhou and the sea city of Wuzhou, expressing its willingness to obey any orders from China, on the sole condition that the surviving ordinary people of the Great Japanese nation be properly settled.
All the forces in the Golden Triangle gathered in the Ten Thousand Mountains and, at dawn, presented the scepter representing power to Chuancheng in Lizhou.
Stanzhen Kingdom and Brahma Temple withdrew from China and raised the banner of resistance against the sea tribes in their own territories.
Siberia...
One force after another saw hope in China's counterattack against the half-dead. If there is one nation that is the last light of humanity on the battlefield, it must be China; if there is one force that is the war spirit charging at the forefront, it must be Oath.
"Damn it, which race of people caused our Sea Clan to lose two top-tier Half-Decadents and an elite force for nothing!"
Inside Neptune's palace, Neptune slammed his fist on the table, his anger palpable.
The appearance of the Sea Clan's half-decayers was originally intended to target Jiang Yuan, the leader of the human race. However, their attempt backfired, resulting in the deaths of two top-tier half-decayers. How could the Sea Clan possibly forgive this?
"Your Majesty, the two clans in charge of this operation are the Kangsu Water Cube Illusion Snow Sky Dolphin and the Ghost-Faced Crawfish," someone replied tremblingly from below.
"Kill all the people in charge of this matter! My sea race has no need for such trash!"
Aquaman's angry roar echoed throughout the ocean, but the outcome was irreversible.
The sea tribe suffered a crushing defeat in the first major battle, the Battle of Twin Rivers, and now, in the counterattack, their elite forces have been annihilated by the human race. This is destined to leave a shameful mark on history.
...
"Now, the higher-ups have spoken: everyone involved in this operation must atone with their lives!"
Inside the Kangsu Water Cube, the people of the Illusory Snow Pig and the Ghost-Faced Shrimp had worried expressions on their faces.
The order from above is simple, but it certainly cannot be carried out in the same way below. Even if we temporarily set aside the division of responsibilities, the mass slaughter of one's own kind before the battle is an act that shakes the morale of the army, not to mention that there are meritorious people who have sworn to defend the sea people to the death among them.
"Is there still no news from Asar?"
A woman frowned repeatedly, clearly displeased with the orders from above.
"Lady Avi, the matter of the teleportation gate has been fully verified. Asa was struck down into a horde of sea monsters by a human while covering his teammates' attempt to transmit intelligence to the clan. His fate is currently unknown!" The intelligence officer in charge of the investigation was presenting a large stack of materials as evidence.
"Nonsense! Who is my brother? Would he betray his clan?"
Yawei's tone was cold because all the sea creatures had previously believed that there was a traitor among the Illusionary Snow Pig, but it turned out that the real traitor came from the Ghost-Faced Shrimp Guard.
However, they are still waiting for the most crucial evidence, which is to see which of the two guard teams survived. In the battle to maintain the teleportation array, both guard teams were almost completely wiped out.
With all the evidence gathered, only those with a clear conscience dare to return!
"But Lady Avi, the higher-ups have ordered the execution of those in charge of this operation. What about us?"
"Execute?"
Yawei smiled faintly and asked in return, "Those who should be executed have already been executed. Are there any who shouldn't be executed?"
