While Song Changsheng was ambushing Song Daoling, Yongan Island had not been idle either.
Thirty warships charged forcefully into the Gemini Islands. With speed too swift to cover one's ears, they first swept clean the demon beasts on the two central Third-Tier spirit islands, then split into two groups to scour the demon beasts on the remaining spirit islands.
The process had been remarkably easy. There were no particularly troublesome targets, and the few Third-Tier demon beasts died as miserably as could be in the hands of Xu Yunhe, Niu Dazhuang, and the others.
There had been little difficulty on the islands. With the warships holding air superiority, the battle was over in just three days.
During the period that followed, aside from clearing out the remaining enemies, their main task was dealing with the incessant harassment from the sea demons in the archipelago's inner seas.
These sea demons were numerous and everywhere, causing no small amount of trouble for the expeditionary coalition army. There was no shortage among them of Great Demons at the Third-Tier level.
