The stressful day passed quickly. On the evening of the second day, a huge fleet appeared in the waters of the Hua Xia region. This fleet was, of course, the navy of the Dorym Empire.
The main composition of this fleet was 27 battleships, all of which were new ironclad warships. They were slightly different from warships in the real world, but their overall composition was similar. Of course, apart from the battleships, there were also various large and small frigates and support ships. The naval tactics of the Trioleun continent were much more complete than those of the Hua Xia continent. Their fleet was really a fleet, with each ship cooperating with each other. It was a rather mature combat system.
Of course, most of the ships were transport ships. Yes, they were here to occupy territory, not to fight a naval battle. Therefore, most of the warships were used as escorts. The landing troops on the transport ships were the main force. At least, that was what they thought.
Just like Li Huailin's side, the Dorimut Empire had also sent spies to their side. However, they didn't manage to gather much information. The reason was the same as before. Of course, because the Dorym Empire had planned this earlier than Li Huailin's side, they had more information than Li Huailin's side.
According to the information they received, they had a rough understanding of the combat power of the Hua Xia continent. The enemy's navy was too backward and couldn't pose any threat to them. The main problem was that the landing troops would be more troublesome to fight. Therefore, according to this line of thought, the commander-in-chief of the war, Marquis Ledwater of the Dorym Empire, made a plan that was related to the landing troops.
According to his current plan, the landing troops wouldn't penetrate deep into the continent at once. They would only slowly build bases along the coast. After all, they had the advantage of the navy. If the enemy chose to attack, they would rely on the navy to destroy the attacking troops. If the enemy didn't attack, they would build strongholds and bunkers. Then, they would rely on the navy to transport backup personnel and supplies. They weren't in a hurry.
Marquis Ledwater was the captain of the First Fleet of the Dorym Empire. Therefore, he was biased towards the navy when it came to land and navy. From his point of view, as long as they had control of the sea, the enemy wouldn't be able to fight back. Even if they really encountered trouble and everyone boarded the ship, the other party wouldn't be able to catch them, right?
"Captain, the ship ahead can already see the Vatusen Continent (the name of the Hua Xia Continent in the game)." On the bridge, a Navy soldier reported to Marquis Ledwater. "They are expected to arrive in one hour."
"Don't worry." Marquis Ledvart waved his hand and said, "Shift the fleet's direction to the north by 20 degrees. Adjust the speed to 40 Tam (the speed of the ships in the game)."
"Yes." The soldier immediately went to pass the order.
"Sir Marquis, have you decided on the landing location and time?" Sampus, Marquis Ledwater's adjutant, walked over and asked. That's right, this battle plan was completely confidential. Due to the lack of intelligence on the Hua Xia continent, the landing location and time were decided by the commander-in-chief, Marquis Ledwater. Even the adjutant didn't know.
"Yes." Marquis Ledwater nodded. "I've looked at it. According to this map, this place is more suitable for landing and the operations after landing. As for the time, now is the best time to land. After a while, the sky will turn dark, and it will be more disadvantageous for the landing. Before the sun completely sets, we must send the first wave of troops ashore. Then, let them raid the city at night and establish a stronghold. That way, we will have a frontline base by tomorrow morning."
"The target is this city called Oatletin?" Sampus looked at the route map and pointed at Marquis Ledwater's target. After thinking for a while, he said, "According to the current intelligence, this city called Oatletin is a relatively large city on the east coast of the continent. Will this be too aggressive?"
As the adjutant, his responsibility was, of course, to give some suggestions to the commander-in-chief. Marquis Ledwater, of course, understood this, but he still shook his hand. "No, with the help of our fleet, the landing operation should be over soon. According to the current intelligence, it seems that the Demons of this continent don't pay much attention to the eastern cities, so there shouldn't be many guards in the city. The main thing is that we attack quickly. I think we can quickly take down this city. Once we successfully occupy it, we will have a reliable frontline base, which will be much more profitable than those small cities. "
"Yes, Lord Ledwater." The adjutant thought about it and nodded. He felt that Ledwater was right.
Therefore, the entire fleet began to accelerate toward the direction of Oatletin, preparing to land before the sun completely set. In the transport ship behind, another group of people also received this order. Of course, this group of people was led by several players.
The leaders of these players were mainly the guild leaders of the major guilds. The most familiar ones were the guild leader of the Vengeance Guild, Ten Stone Lotus, and the guild leader of the Taichi Guild, Profound Life. That's right. This battle had united the Korean and Japanese guilds. Because they now had a common enemy, they were currently working together. Compared to them, the other leaders could only be considered ordinary guild leaders. All the decisions were basically made by these two people.
"Based on the current situation, Hua Xia hasn't discovered our plan yet." The one who spoke was the leader of the Vengeance Guild, Ten Stone Lotus. "Not only did they not discover it, but the Hua Xia region is also currently in a civil war. What a joke."
The civil war that Ten Stone Lotus mentioned happened this morning. Just this morning, the two largest guilds in the Hua Xia region, Spirit World and Gods, started fighting again. The word "again" was used because these two guilds were fighting for first place, so it wasn't uncommon for them to fight each other. However, today's situation seemed to be a little complicated. Not only did they fight each other, but they even started fighting each other in the afternoon. According to the current intelligence, Spirit World was dissatisfied with the Gods' response, so they gathered their troops and prepared to attack the Gods' guild territory. On the other hand, the third-ranked guild, Lei Zhu, seemed to have released a statement saying that they were ready to help the Gods. The fact that the first, second, and third ranked guilds were about to fight immediately attracted everyone's attention. Of course, the East Asia region also knew about such a big event.
"Yeah. Currently, Spirit World is leading their troops to attack the Gods' guild territory. Lei Zhu is also preparing to send reinforcements, but their speed is very slow. It seems like they're waiting for these two guilds to wear them down for a while before reaping the benefits." Xuan Ming nodded. Of course, these large guilds had their spies, so they were very clear about the situation.
"Guild Leader Nangong sure has a good plan. It's a pity that he didn't expect us to be the oriole," Ten Stone Lotus said with a smile. "But it's mainly because of the situation in Dragon's Field. After all, the place we logged in is the territory of the Demons in the Hua Xia region, and the largest guild in the Demons' territory is Dragon's Field …"
"But there's no movement from Dragon's Field today," Xuan Ming said. "So far, it seems that the elite team is just organizing guild activities as usual."
"It seems that they haven't discovered us yet. They'll probably be shocked when we officially log in," Ten Stone Lotus said, chuckling. "What's wrong? Do you think there's a problem?"
"In terms of overall strength, there's still a gap between us and the Guilds in the Hua Xia region. After all, they've been grinding in cross-server battlefields for so long. Their equipment levels are much higher than ours, and they have an advantage in numbers. For now, it seems that we can only rely on these NPCs. However, the NPCs in the Hua Xia region will definitely respond, "Xuan Ming said after giving the matter some thought.
"We're already here, yet you're still worried about this?" Ten Stone Lotus said. "Yes, it's true that the NPCs in the Hua Xia region might organize an army to attack us, but when will that happen? Do you know how big of a gap there is between us and Hua Xia's Guild? It's all that damned Hua Xia Guild Leader's fault. We can't grind on the battlefield at all. If we don't take advantage of our naval advantage to do something, once players' Engineers catch up, the advantage of our ships will be gone. Do we even have a chance to turn the tables? "
"That's true." Xuan Ming was still a little worried. However, Ten Stone Lotus was right. Since he was already here, he couldn't just tell his guild members to disband and go home. Ten Stone Lotus had personally come to persuade him, but now that he thought about it, he felt that he had been a little too rash. Xuan Ming felt a little uneasy, but he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
"Adventurers, prepare to disembark." Someone from above informed them that they were about to disembark. They were already nearing the coast of the Hua Xia continent.
"Damn, these NPCs are treating us like a suicide squad," a guild leader said in a displeased tone. Of course, the NPCs wouldn't negotiate with these adventurers. The plan was set by the higher-ups. The only reason they were using adventurers was because they weren't afraid of death.
"That's enough. Everyone, tell everyone to prepare for battle," Ten Stone Lotus said.
On the other side of the Hua Xia continent, a player was looking at the large number of ships that had appeared on the ocean's surface. The player nodded and immediately opened his long-distance communication window. "Guild leader, I've found them. They're near Ultralestyn City."
"Do you see them clearly?" Yuan Xing asked directly.
"Yes, I see them clearly. They're all here. There are at least a hundred ships of all sizes," the player replied.
"Okay, you can return to the city first." Yuan Xing nodded. After a while, the news also reached Li Huailin's side.
