Heading to the Pacific Ocean

Ever since that day, the detection mages had been gone for nearly seven days.

They finally returned.

According to the information they had gathered, the Sea Monsters indeed had no intention of giving up. It was just that their target didn't seem to be the island nation, but Huaxia!!

The mages sent to scout from Huaxia had already been wiped out.

Actually, that made sense. This place had already been picked clean. Even if they took it back, it would be no better than some of the nearby islands, with little of value to gain.

But Huaxia was different. After all this time, that land still hadn't fallen, so it was naturally rich in resources.

If it was so rich in resources, why would they choose to attack the heavily defended island nation instead of Huaxia?

After hearing the news, Hua Zhanhong immediately ordered the troops to withdraw and return home.

It wasn't that he hadn't considered whether the information was true. He simply had no grounds to question it. This was an empty island, after all. Even if it had resources, there was no way to mine them. Huaxia was different; their country hadn't suffered any major damage.

So giving up their own country for a ruined one was obviously not a wise choice.

The army had been on campaign for nearly half a year, marching in great numbers. Could they really call it a victory?

It seemed they had indeed won.

And yet, they couldn't shake the feeling that they hadn't accomplished anything at all.

Some had suggested launching a direct assault into the depths of the Pacific.

But fighting Sea Monsters on the open ocean and in the deep sea?

It simply wasn't realistic. The ocean's power was at their disposal, and supplies and provisions alone would
