When a few copies of the defensive arrangements were sent to the front line staff officer department, even Gou Cheng WenDao, who did not show his emotions, had his face twitch twice.
Gou Cheng WenDao's face did not have any fluctuations, he watched the battlefield expressionlessly.
The Honorable Martial Continent had infiltrated the Southern Region for many years, they had secretly gathered intelligence from various places, and the strategically important Ocean Guardian Stronghold was naturally the most important.
The surrounding generals all looked excited, as if they were waiting to watch a good show. The siege fleet was as slow as a tortoise, but they had finally arrived. The probing attack made everyone understand how tough the Ocean Guardian Stronghold was.
Their speed was slow, and their defenses were weak, but their firepower was fierce, and their range was so long that all the other warships paled in comparison.
"Yes!"
The figure that brought them to where they were today.
Really, he was too greedy. Even at this stage, he was still not satisfied?
However, was there still a chance?
Gou Cheng WenDao's trump card was the siege boats that he brought along with his army.
But after they fought with Xie Yu An, the Stronghold reconstruction project that no one paid much attention to immediately made everyone worried.
The surrounding generals looked at each other in dismay. They had followed Daren for a long time and knew that Daren was always stingy with praising his enemies. It was truly rare to receive praise from Daren.
Was he going to lose?
No matter how hard the tortoise shell was, they could still smash it with a hammer.
The soldiers around him were all dumbstruck, their faces pale.
He was not crying in a dark corner, regretting that he had never come.
But my war never stopped.
It had not been easy all this way. ~ It wasn't easy to reach here, it wasn't easy for the Swift Army to reach their current standard, it wasn't easy. ~
His spirit, which had long been worn down, leaped out of the horizon like the sun. It swept past his lethargic body, and the burning pain made him feel alive.
Large-scale siege boats were war beasts, and at the same time, they were gold devouring beasts. Every single one of them had an astronomical price, and they were unquestionably the most expensive battle units. The Honorable Martial Continent had taken out 22 of them at once, their wealth was extremely robust, causing people to be speechless.
An astonishingly large fleet slowly entered the battlefield.
After the Honorable Martial Continent lost a few of their intelligence personnel, they heard about Xie Yu An's new defense. In the past, no one paid much attention to a nobody like Xie Yu An.
From the start of his preparations, he did not consider defense at all. All of his preparations were for offense. As for the casualties, he didn't care at all. He knew that the higher-ups wouldn't care either.
As long as they could quickly take down the Shang Continent, nothing else would be a problem.
How despairing.
Up until now, the development of the war had not exceeded his pre-war plans.
The battle was extremely intense.
For the first time, his unwavering confidence was shaken.
The familiar voice of the Master caused them to gradually regain their senses.
Xie Yu An stared blankly at these incredibly slow war beasts, his face ashen. There was no stronghold that could remain unscathed under the attack of 22 large sieging ships.
From the start of the preparation work before departure, all of his plans revolved around this point. In many people's eyes, Gou Cheng WenDao was impulsive and crazy, but very few people knew that Gou Cheng WenDao had made ample preparations before the battle.
At a time when time was more important than anything else, it was worth it no matter what they used to exchange for time.
In his deduced plans, the Ocean Guardian Stronghold had appeared more than once. The number of strongholds in the Southern Region could be counted with one's fingers, and the Ocean Guardian Stronghold's strategic position was extremely important. The Shang Continent's fighting strength was at a disadvantage, and borrowing the advantage of the stronghold's defense was extremely normal.
Like how strict their commander was, the soldiers of the Swift Army were mostly silent, they did not discuss or speak, they only quietly returned to their positions and started to prepare for the upcoming battle.
They were not lying on their sickbeds waiting for death to descend upon them.
"The upcoming attack will be extremely intense, everyone must be mentally prepared. But, it is not that we do not have a chance, six hours, as long as we persevere for six hours, we will have a chance to win. "
Gou Cheng WenDao's determination to fight was naturally not something that could be scared off by just a few defense plans. There was no need to doubt Xie Yu An's standard, but it was not like he did not have any trump cards.
"Six hours, no matter what, I hope everyone can help me hold on for six hours."
"If only it was the Ocean Guardian Stronghold in the past." The adjutant said.
The soldiers who were on fire all cried out in pain as they jumped down from the flames and fell into the Sea of Energy.
When the 22 large scale siege boats slowly entered the battlefield, the huge battle immediately quietened down.
Since ancient times, the battle between offense and defense had never stopped.
The stronghold's advantage in defense had always made it difficult for an army to advance. But strongholds also had their natural enemies, and that was the siege boats. These siege boats were specially designed to deal with defensive fortifications, they possessed extremely strong firepower and extremely long range.
Xie Yu An who became famous in one battle attracted the attention of the Honorable Martial Continent's intelligence department, and every bit of information about him was quickly dug out. Even his homework in the academy was dug out from the pile of old papers and turned into research materials.
But this time, his preparations were not in vain.
He had carefully researched all the possible routes of attack, and tried out all the possible defensive and counterattack methods of the Shang Continent, and finally came up with a plan that involved 62 types of contingency plans.
~ Then I will hold on for six hours. ~
The Ocean Guardian Stronghold was enveloped by dazzling light auras.
In the hands of the people who were just eating and waiting to die, the Ocean Guardian Stronghold was just a dazzling gold warehouse, but in the hands of a famed general, a weapon warehouse with money and rations was enough to create a terrifying stronghold.
"Everyone, please prepare for battle."
Xie Yu An's voice was not impassioned, but sincere, causing people to involuntarily think of the warm and gentle figure, the figure that accompanied them to crawl and roll in the mud, the figure that was not good at talking and boastful, but always had a smile on his face.
Now, it was time for him to reveal his trump card.
The generals around all nodded their heads, before Xie Yu An took over, the Ocean Guardian Stronghold's defenses were lax, and was like an armory filled with expensive weapons. At that time, the intelligence personnel had given a conclusion, that even a group of pirates could easily take down the luxurious stronghold.
It was said that the siege boats were weapons used to defeat strongholds, and the large scale siege boats were true war beasts, the nightmares of all strongholds. Even for Xie Yu An, who was an expert in defense, when he saw the war beasts, his face could not help but change.
He was not complacent, but he was not blindly confident. No matter how meticulous the plan was, it was impossible to predict the changes in the battlefield, and upon stepping onto the battlefield, he would hand the battle over to his berserk fighting instincts.
The Ocean Guardian Stronghold was an extremely tough bone, it was the strongest point of the enemy's defense, and was the nightmare of all attacking parties. But, upon breaking through the Ocean Guardian Stronghold, the entire defense would instantly crumble, and they would be able to break through and attack the Shang Continent.
~ Six hours? ~
~ Even if I die like that, it will be worth it. ~
Gou Cheng WenDao nodded his head: "It truly lives up to its name."
Twenty-two big fellows were like twenty-two giant beasts with their bloody mouths wide open. No stronghold could withstand the siege of twenty-two giant beasts.
The generals around clenched their fists tightly, their faces turning pale white. Such a siege was the cruelest. There was no leeway, no room for schemes, every inch of space could only be fought with blood and determination.
Xie Yu An revealed a bitter smile, he raised his head again, the light aura in his eyes piercing through the haze like the sun.
In his calculations before the battle, the Ocean Guardian Stronghold had given them a huge problem. How to pull out this nail was a problem that he had to face. He steeled his heart and decided to build an army of siege boats specially to deal with the Ocean Guardian Stronghold.
After a moment, the adjutant spoke out in surprise: "Master! The siege boats are in position! "
~ That's right, I can't accept it. ~
The large scale siege boats of the Honorable Martial Continent were incomparable to the small scale siege boats used to attack the Sword Forest Stronghold, the large scale siege boats that resembled floating islands were the nightmare of all strongholds.
"Prepare for battle."
The once unattainable dream had once again appeared in the middle aged man's dreams.
The siege boat army that consisted of 22 large scale siege boats and 70 medium scale siege boats could be said to be the strongest siege boat army in history, they were vast and mighty. Once the slow and defenseless sieging ships were attacked, it would be a disaster. Gou Cheng WenDao personally escorted them, and did not hesitate to slow down their speed.
No one underestimated the battle, furthermore, the opponent was Xie Yu An, who was famed for his defense. But no one objected to Master Gou Cheng WenDao's decision, to the Honorable Martial Continent, every second was extremely precious, to the point that they were willing to pay with their blood.
~ Is my dream of becoming a Gold Ranked Military General going to end? ~
The Master's voice was as calm as usual, as though he was talking about an extremely ordinary matter.
The densely packed warships surrounded it like a swarm of locusts, the light auras spewed out from the warships like raindrops. The Ocean Guardian Stronghold was not to be outdone and retaliated, thick light pillars, groups of sword auras, and light regiments that resembled raindrops pounced onto the densely packed warships.
From time to time, there would be warships exploding, releasing white light auras that illuminated the Sea of Energy like a sun. When the light auras dimmed, the orange-red flames that resembled a blossoming flower enveloped the wreckage of the warships.
"Begin the attack." Gou Cheng WenDao said indifferently, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. The Ocean Guardian Stronghold was like a porcupine in a tortoise shell, causing no one to be able to attack.
Everyone then understood what grade of porcupine the Ocean Guardian Stronghold in front of them was.
The blood that had long cooled down started to warm up again, it started to boil with desire, and started to burn with longing, just like when they were young.
~ Whose dreams will definitely come true? ~
All of this changed after Xie Yu An's inspection.
~ That's right, unknowingly, it has happened. ~
Many people revealed looks of suspicion, ~ In front of such absolute strength, why does the Master say that we still have a chance? ~
The warm voice sounded out in every corner of the Ocean Guardian Stronghold, causing the dazed soldiers to raise their heads.
