Thanks to the Sea Race, the Top Contributor, for Opening a Third Battlefield
The setting sun bathed the sky in a deep red glow, making the Spirit Resonance River appear like a red ribbon stretching across the edge of the forest.
Today, the banks of the Spirit Resonance River are unusually quiet, with only the sound of the river rushing by.
The Human Race and Beastfolk armies tacitly avoided any conflict at this moment.
Shisui leaped out of the Wormhole, suddenly appearing above the edge of the rainforest, and silently landed on the treetop of a giant rainforest tree.
He shook his wings, smoothing out the few remaining wrinkles in the space after the Wormhole healed.
The distorted space around him perfectly concealed his figure, allowing him to blend seamlessly into his surroundings.
"Shh..."
The tall, dense evergreen trees swayed gently in the river breeze, their rustling branches adding to the tranquility of the place.
It's quiet here now, of course.
A sense of Shisui gently swept across the surroundings as he thought to himself.
After all, most of the soldiers originally stationed on the riverbank had retreated to establish a more solid defensive line, leaving only a few squads to make a show of it.
It seems that both sides are somewhat aware that the Sea Race army is about to "sneak attack" Kaiyang Continent.
"Hmph, it seems there are quite a few spies in Chongming City."
Shisui sighed, then stopped lingering, flapped its wings lightly, and rose into the air with the wind.
As the Ukaku flapped, dark Radiant Feathers fell off and landed on the ground covered with branches, weeds, and shrubs.
He needed to spread out the Radiant Feathers before the war began to ensure that he could collect as much flesh and Psychic Energy as possible.
Many tiny feathers drifted into the Spirit Resonance River.
The Spirit Resonance River, which already had a high level of Psychic Energy, has become so rich in Psychic Energy that it is overflowing after being nourished by flesh and blood for nearly two months.
The spiritual mist that once appeared on the Wunu River Snow Spirit was born now floats in a thin layer on the reddened river surface.
As a result, Radiant Feathers immediately began to Energy Crystals after coming into contact with the Psychic Energy rich river water.
Shisui sensed the slow increase in crystallization in the Alternate Space, and sprinkled more Radiant Feathers into the river.
At the same moment, in the outer sea area of Canglang Ocean.
The various aquatic animals that had been peacefully inhabiting the seabed suddenly seemed to sense some great threat and scattered in panic.
The tranquility of this sea area was instantly shattered, replaced by chaos and panic.
The reason for all this is that an extremely large Sea Race army is marching mightily across the seabed.
This legion was exceptionally impressive, consisting of warships and all sorts of sea creatures.
The team advanced in an orderly fashion, like an unstoppable torrent.
The legion's fleet traveled at high speed on the seabed, creating huge waves as they crashed through the water, even affecting the surface and stirring up considerable spray.
In the center of this massive fleet, there was a submarine that was exceptionally large.
Compared to the colorful and strangely shaped sea creatures that crisscrossed the accompanying warships.
The submarine's color and design were unremarkable, but its size was exceptionally large, resembling a mobile fortress.
Judging from its location, it is almost certain that this submarine, situated in the center of the fleet, is the command ship of the entire legion.
"Your Highness, Yin City reports..."
On the command ship, a liaison officer walked to the back of the central command room and bowed to the Second Prince Yuan Yuan.
Then he continued.
"After our troops set out, there were no further clashes along the banks of the Spirit Resonance River, which suggests that our plan has likely been exposed."
Yuan Yuan wasn't surprised; he simply tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with his fingers, seemingly deep in thought.
"As expected," he began, "Once the army sets out, the commotion won't be contained."
A cold smile played on Yuan Yuan's lips as he waved away the liaison officer and then gave orders to the messenger.
"The plan remains unchanged; the main focus will be on attacking Yin City."
"Yes."
He never intended to keep it a secret until after the army had set off.
After that brat Yuanli "took it upon himself" to capture Mao City, Chongming City will surely be flooded with spies.
In this situation, no amount of secrecy can help.
It would be better to catch the land creatures off guard before they figure out the "weapons" that the Sea Race have developed in the last hundred years.
Moreover, given their current speed of travel, even if they knew the Sea Race army was approaching, it would be of no use.
Because the Human Race is fighting on multiple fronts, the number of troops available for deployment is now limited, and they are no longer able to quickly assemble manpower for support.
Yuan Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the myriad thoughts in his red pupils, and continued to rhythmically tap the wooden handrail.
The only thing to worry about now is the Beastfolk.
They have always been known for their numbers, surviving numerous large-scale wars without going extinct, thanks to their reproductive capacity.
After decades of peace, it's difficult to calculate how many troops the Beastfolk currently possess.
That night, the sunset finally faded, leaving only the moon hanging high in the sky.
Shisui leaned against an old tree in the mangrove forest on the south bank of the Kaiyang Continent.
Numerous branches sprouted from the thick tree trunk, and the shadows of the leaves swallowed his figure, making him invisible to the moonlight.
Shisui rested quietly while waiting for the Sea Race army to arrive.
Suddenly, the sound of the waves carried on the wind grew louder.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his Kakugan appearing simultaneously. As he gazed at the vast, dark sea, he keenly noticed the unusual movement on the water's surface.
"It's finally here."
Rc Cells surged rapidly within his body, Kakuhou behind him began to activate, instantly bursting forth from his Kagune.
His Shisui face showed neither murderous intent nor twisted madness.
In the crimson Kakugan shimmering in the moonlight, there was only pure joy, the anticipation of a bountiful harvest.
"Thanks to the top-ranked Sea Race for opening up the third battlefield~"
He was in an exceptionally good mood, and he made a rare joke, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
If you look back now and into the distance, you'll see why Shisui is so happy.
Behind the vast mudflats on the distant shore, lurking, was a Human Race army of up to 90,000.
Three full legions! And that's just the Human Race side.
If this were to collide with the Sea Race's army, how spectacular it would be!
Shisui pulled his wandering thoughts back, and with a slight effort, Ukaku suddenly rose into the air.
Under his control, a light mist suddenly began to rise nearby, enveloping the mudflats along the coast.
The next moment, a large number of ugly, giant sea monsters suddenly burst out of the water, lined up in rows, and crashed against the mangroves on the shore like waves.
The massive tree, as thick as three people could hug, crashed down.
"Boom--!"
A deafening roar echoed, announcing the arrival of the Sea Race's first wave of attack!
