King Cherla, who worked hard to govern the country and was both a wise and capable man, was about to face his biggest defeat in the second year of leading the Kingdom of Foss on a large-scale eastward expedition.
Battle of the Great Trench.
This is the most important war between the Kingdom of Fox and the Kingdom of Jet. As long as the Colled Fortress can be captured, the entire army of the Kingdom of Fox will march straight into the heart of the East Ocean and completely destroy the entire Kingdom of Jet and other small countries that are still lingering on.
In order to conquer the entire East Ocean and lay the foundation for a unified empire, King Cherla of Foss mobilized the entire country's strength and mobilized the main forces of the two oceans under his command, all of which were transported on a large scale with war weapons.
This is a decisive battle that concerns the future.
Even the South Pacific and the Arctic Ocean sent a large number of coalition forces to provide assistance, hoping to crush the strategic intentions of the Fox Kingdom.
In this decisive battle, the Kingdom of Fox deployed 700,000 troops and a logistics support force of 240,000, a force arguably one million strong. The combined forces of the Kingdom of Jet numbered only around 330,000. Furthermore, the coalition was a mixed bag, with each force having its own agenda, making the outcome of this battle far from certain.
If it weren't for the fact that the Colled Trench is so long, has a dangerous environment, is full of undercurrents and deep trenches, has a great strategic depth, and forms a natural war barrier, and has the strength to fight, I'm afraid the Jet coalition would have already lost their morale.
Behind Fort Coller.
"What are you going to do?! Rebellion at this time?! Once the fortress falls, the Kingdom of Fos will surely massacre everyone. Even if you surrender to them now, you will still be doomed to destruction!"
In the command fortress, Lask, the Grand Duke of the Jet Kingdom and the commander of the coalition forces, looked at the murlocs who forced their way in, his face turned ashen, and he couldn't help but yelled.
"Grand Duke Lask, you misunderstood. Our Kingdom of Nok will not turn against the enemy at this moment."
The leading marlin man stood tall and straight, with scales all over his body emitting a dazzling luster. He was none other than Allen, a civilian who studied in the kendo gym and was now the commander-in-chief of the Nok Kingdom’s army.
Alan has changed a lot in the past two years. After becoming an extraordinary merman, he quickly rose in the kingdom. Not only did he marry the youngest princess of the Nok royal family, he also became the most powerful general in the kingdom.
This time, he was the commander-in-chief of the army of the Kingdom of Nok. Although the actual number of troops under the commander's command was only 7,000, for the small and sparsely populated Kingdom of Nok, it was already the entire country's strength.
This amount of troops seems to be not enough in this battle. The position of the Kingdom of Nok in the coalition is not even as good as that of its overlord, the Kingdom of Lido, let alone the Kingdom of Jet.
But for the extraordinary fishman Allen, great power belongs to the individual, and he doesn't care about the number of soldiers.
Look, he had only been in the fortress for less than a week when he carefully planned this power seizure.
"...Then what is your purpose?" Grand Duke Lask was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "General Allen from the Kingdom of Nok, I don't care what your purpose is, but you must think clearly. This is a coalition of forces from various nations. If anything goes wrong in the command post, a mutiny will immediately occur. The consequences can be imagined."
While he was speaking, he was looking around and found that the personal soldiers who were originally guarding outside were not moving at all, and even the entire command post was silent. He couldn't help but feel terrified.
"Damn it! Could it be that these Nok fishmen have already collaborated with the Kingdom of Foss? And planted spies around me? Otherwise, how could they break in so easily?"
"You alone can't be a match for the Foss Kingdom." Allen ignored Grand Duke Lasker's thoughts and said seriously, "According to intelligence reports from my subordinates, the Foss Kingdom possesses a secret weapon with extremely high lethality. It can be delivered over long distances and pollute the local waters, creating a terrifying environment where only the Foss sharks can survive."
"It's conceivable that as soon as this war reaches a stalemate, the Kingdom of Fox will madly deploy these weapons to the Eastern Ocean. By then... all other races in the entire sea area will be completely wiped out."
Alan's words made Grand Duke Lask doubtful, and he couldn't help but ask: "If that's the case, then what are you going to do?"
"My goal is simple: I hope Grand Duke Lask will relinquish his power." Allen smiled faintly. "I need to mobilize all available forces to launch a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Foss's army and directly annihilate the main force of their eastern expedition."
Crazy!
When Grand Duke Lask heard the other party's plan, this was the only thought in his mind.
To raid the Fox Kingdom army means to give up the geographical advantage of controlling the fortress and forcibly launch an attack on the Fox army on the other side of the trench. However, with the current strength of the coalition forces, it is tantamount to seeking death.
"Impossible! You're dragging everyone down with you!" Grand Duke Lask refused without a second thought. "Besides, even if you kill me, it's useless. The lower-level military will immediately notice something's wrong and then they'll directly wipe out all those thousands of Nok-men!"
"Forget it, it's a waste of words." Allen took a step back and looked at the beautiful mermaid wearing a black eyepatch next to him. "Senior Sister Vivian, I'm going to trouble you again this time."
Vivian nodded silently and took off the eye mask covering her face, revealing her azure pupils that formed a strange swirling shape like the ocean.
"What...are you going to do?!"
Grand Duke Lask finally realized that something was wrong, but after seeing the swirling pupils, his consciousness immediately became blurred.
