The piercing air raid sirens blared across the Japan coastal positions. Just before the hail of bullets fell, a magical barrier rose up across the entire position, shutting out the artillery fire on the other side.
This scene was captured by the long-range surveillance camera of the Great Asian Alliance Flagship and displayed on the flagship's large screen. Looking at the barrier magic that had withstood the artillery fire without collapsing, Yunyi sighed, "The ' Phalanx ' is indeed a very powerful defensive magic. However, the Katsuto Jumonji is effective against humans. How long can you hold out by yourself?"
"Send the order: keep the offensive going and smash the ' Phalanx ' of the Jumonji formation!" Yunyi gave the order directly.
However, after he gave the order, the messengers on the bridge looked at each other in bewilderment. Liu Yunde, sitting in the main seat, was also somewhat taken aback, but he did not show any other reaction. Instead, he quietly nodded to the adjutant standing next to him, signaling him to pass on the order.
After the order was relayed, Yunyi turned to Liu Yunde: "Once the barrier is breached, I will lead the assault team to the beach. Leave a portion of the fleet to provide cover, and send the rest back to pick up the troops. I have already had Xiaoxue dispatch support troops to Jinhae Naval Port."
Upon hearing Yunyi's words, Liu Yunde raised an eyebrow.
"You mean that girl from the Qiao Family? Wasn't it said that your engagement was just a formality? What, is that girl willing to do things for you?"
Yunyi sighed softly, "This fiancée was chosen by my mother. She won't budge, so the engagement can't be broken off. Besides, Xiaoxue has been helping me develop my power in the Great Asian Alliance. In a sense, my subordinates only obey her orders. Even if I personally assign them tasks, they still have to get Xiaoxue's approval before they can carry them out."
Upon hearing Yunyi's words, Liu Yunde burst into laughter, disregarding the occasion.
"You little rascal, looks like you don't have much of a place in your family, huh? You're usually so arrogant, I never thought someone could actually put you in your place!"
Squeezed out by Liu Yunde, Yunyi was helpless. After he and Shen Yi left the Great Asian Alliance, their control over the forces remaining within the alliance weakened considerably. Therefore, Shen Yi used the pretext of a marriage alliance to select a trustworthy person to cultivate. And Xiaoxue was that chosen person.
Because Yunyi is often away from the country, the responsibility for connecting with and controlling domestic forces falls almost entirely on Xiaoxue's shoulders. Shen Yi had anticipated this situation from the beginning. It could be said that this was the result of her deliberate guidance. After all, what Yunyi wants to do is very risky, and if he were to truly control all the power himself, it could very well lead to him acting unilaterally.
Currently, the fleet and research ships at sea are under Shen Yi's command, while the magic force within the Great Asian Alliance is controlled by Xiaoxue. The two of them are two safeguards against Yunyi. Even if Yunyi loses his mind for some reason, it is difficult for him to completely disrupt all the plans with his own strength.
Of course, this was just Shen Yi's initial idea. As Yunyi's strength gradually increased, he alone almost possessed the power to confront an entire country. Combining the internal magic force with the naval fleet would only be icing on the cake.
Liu Yunde breathed a sigh of relief after Yunyi left the bridge. His relationship with Yunyi was merely one of cooperation, and he remained cautiously optimistic about Yunyi's true intentions. The reason he cooperated with Yunyi in sending troops to Japan was because Japan had made the first move. Moreover, Yunyi had destroyed most of Japan's fleet, and it would be unreasonable for him not to send troops with such a tremendous opportunity.
Moreover, Liu Yunde was well aware that the complex web of power struggles within the Great Asian Alliance had severely disrupted the country's operations. Coupled with the discontent stemming from internal conflicts, the union's collapse was imminent if not handled properly. Yunyi's emergence offered hope for ending this situation. Furthermore, the war with Japan would effectively divert attention from these internal conflicts, which he was happy to accept.
On the other side, Katsuto Jumonji was struggling to maintain the " Phalanx," was covered in sweat. He could clearly feel that the artillery fire from the Great Asian Alliance had not weakened and was even showing signs of intensifying.
" Jumonji, the Great Asian Alliance's fleet intends to cripple you completely with a saturation attack! Have the people on the defensive line retreat, avoid the bombardment, and rebuild their positions. If this continues, something bad will happen!" Masaki Ichijo came to Katsuto Jumonji's side. He had already seen through the Great Asian Alliance's intentions, which was why he came to discuss it with Katsuto Jumonji.
Katsuto Jumonji had also anticipated the actions of the Great Asian Alliance, but he didn't want to abandon the beachhead so easily. If they were to retreat, it would be tantamount to giving the enemy landing force an opportunity!
At this moment, the artillery bombardment from the Great Asian Alliance gradually weakened. Before long, the bombardment ceased.
After the bombing stopped, Katsuto Jumonji finally breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he relaxed, he collapsed to the ground.
Masaki Ichijo summoned men to escort Katsuto Jumonji to the rear to rest, while he himself remained on the front lines. He knew very well that the artillery barrage had ceased to avoid impacting the landing force's amphibious assault! Faced with the relentless bombardment, Masaki Ichijo had no effective means of defense. However, against the landing force, his " Rupture " technique could unleash its full power!
On the landing craft of the Great Asian Alliance Landing Force, Yunyi looked at the distant coastline and the " Phalanx " that had disappeared into the sky, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration. The fact that they could hold out for so long under continuous Phalanx bombardment was truly commendable.
"How much strength do you have left after just Jumonji and a round of bombardment?" Yunyi muttered to himself.
He knew very well that there was more than just Katsuto Jumonji on the opposite front; there was also Masaki Ichijo. If he didn't take care of this guy as well, the landing force would likely be sniped by the Ichijo Family's " Rupture " long-range attacks. It has to be said that the Japan Ten Master Clans sent the two of them here after much consideration.
" Masaki Ichijo and Katsuto Jumonji, you two will experience my Celestial Magic firsthand."
As soon as Yunyi finished Kanon, the Domain Magic spread out towards the distant coastline. After enveloping the Japan defensive positions on the coast, Yunyi suddenly activated his Celestial Magic.
"Feel the wrath of the heavens, face the judgment of the stars! Celestial Magic ' Star Sin '!"
