Qiuniu pointed to several major cities along the coast of Douluo Continent on the map and said:
"Before I joined Grace Hall, I traveled across the continent. For personal reasons, I stayed in several major coastal cities.
"From what I observed, even the coastal cities with the best defenses, the most soldiers, and the strongest combat power could only be considered lower-middle tier compared to major inland cities. But that was only the level they could achieve when facing enemies attacking from within the continent.
"All of those coastal cities have their ports within the city. There are no city walls to block ships approaching from the sea, and they do not even set up defenses against ships. If war formally breaks out in the future, attacking those major cities by sea would require far less effort.
"Moreover, this would catch them by surprise and leave them scrambling. No one should expect us to launch an attack from the sea."
"Indeed. Since the two great empires have always fought only land wars, their navies are bound to be pitifully weak—or perhaps they have never even formed proper naval forces, merely using the army to fill in from time to time. Attacking by sea should be far easier than advancing by land. As long as we seize the coastal regions, we can encircle the entire Star Luo Empire from three sides. At the same time, those inland forces cannot possibly unite completely; they may even continue fighting one another. We can slowly erode them," Mo Lin said.
