Could they defend the Manifestation Water Mansion with their current strength?
Ever since the Great Sage of the Sea had taken his own life, Ye Zhen had been running calculations on this question.
Calculations, not mere consideration.
By estimating the strength, strategies, losses, and other factors on both sides, he sought to derive the final outcome.
Ye Zhen's military simulations had three variables. The first assumed a serious, standard offensive and defensive battle. The second magnified the impact of the enemy's strategic and tactical arrangements on the battle situation. The third magnified the impact of their own strategic and tactical arrangements on the battle situation.
The first simulation could be called the normal scenario, the second the worst-case scenario, and the third the most favorable scenario for their side.
These three simulations basically encompassed most changes and possibilities.
Yet, never mind the worst-case scenario—even under the third simulation, the best and most favorable circumstances for their side, Ye Zhen still could not hold the Manifestation Water Mansion.
The disparity between the Water Clan's forces and strength was simply too vast. Ye Zhen's Zhenhai Army was elite, but that was on land.
If the Zhenhai Army entered the sea to battle the Water Clan, they would be little different from food.

The Great Sage of Sea Quelling and the Sea Breaking Great Sage believed they must never abandon it!
But Ye Zhen had a different
