Dragon Moon Island, when it was first named, was not only because of the dragon culture of the Eastern Country but also because of its shape lying on the sea.
It is long and circular, resembling a dragon embracing a Dragon Ball in its sleep; from a different angle, it looks like a shattered crescent moon.
And now, the crescent has gathered into a full moon, the dragon lying down is slowly lifting its head.
The giant dragon head, formed by mountain ranges, effortlessly tore through the ocean.
A flash of red light instantly vaporized the sea, sweeping through everything with a halo of cyan lightning amidst the red.
The Fishman Legion obstructing its path was cleaved in two, with hundreds of large Giant Soldiers being evaporated where that red light passed.
The colossal Rock Dragon was vaguely taking form, but if you spoke of a traditional dragon, it more closely resembled a coiled Dragon Turtle.
It advanced slowly, the sea naturally parting before it, with just the waves stirred up by its movement being strong enough to toss any ships that got too close.
The Fishmen, who now had ships and even rudimentary artillery... yet the explosions sounded like firecrackers against a colossal dam.
The dragon-like monster didn’t even have to lower its head; it just kept moving forward slowly, neither speeding up nor slowing down.
In the face of the Fishman Legion’s interception, it didn’t stop for a second... It just rolled straight over them!
"Hold it back....."
Those Exotic Realm Invaders seemed to still be attempting to resist.
They were not unprepared, and although the organism of Dragon Moon Island cut off the possibility of spatial transmission, Shadow Creatures were trying to help the invaders by conducting aerial drops.
But towering grand walls had already been erected around the island, leaving no areas to climb except for deliberately maintained ports. The walls were equipped with various defenses, with artillery fire never ceasing, turning Shadow Creatures into expendable targets.
Another Shadow Ray was shattered, and the creature inside jumped ship in time. Unfortunately, even the closest one was still too far from scaling the walls.
The Giant Soldier Race, once War Beasts, now struggle like frontline loser fodder attempting to climb the seemingly sky-high giant walls.
However, they didn’t even reach the midpoint before the rampaging lightning turned them into ash.
Lu Ping’an put down the Flame in his hand and sighed... He hadn’t made a move yet, but someone else had beaten him to it.
The massive Island Class Warship, which seemed to move slowly but was actually fast, didn’t even consider the intercepting fleet that was scattered into disarray worth annihilating.
But this wasn’t the first wave of interception, nor was it the last... Yet this invasion Legion, once capable of destroying a city, now instantly disappeared under the leadership of at least two Rule-level Kings or higher.
And two Rule-level Combat Powers? Instantaneously taken out, Lu Ping’an still couldn’t intervene in time.
Within this mobile fortress, at least a double-digit number of Quasi-Gods are in a state of readiness for war, and through the Eye of Truth, Lu Ping’an saw even more outrageous things, some of which he hardly dared to even ask about.
After all, although he possesses many abilities, he doesn’t want to be famous for his Perception Ability. Many things feel like once they are discovered by others, they are indeed worth silencing by murder.
"It seems that in the short term, they won’t be able to assemble sufficient legions...." Another wave easily broke through the interception, but that does not mean the end of it.
Lu Ping’an contemplated for a moment, the invaders may not have enough time to organize, and it’s quite possible that this is the reality.
𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
To launch a great strategic counteroffensive in modern warfare, mobilization of troops takes months to start with, let alone the tribal system of the Foreign Domain Invaders....
"Not necessarily, it depends on luck, if there’s a Plane Master Level presence, maybe it could pressure all Overlords and Quasi-Gods to come over and have a decisive battle with us," Chris raised another possibility.
"Indeed, we need to depend on luck."
Sometimes intelligence work is impossible, like the tribal clusters full of Overlords and Kings at their core formed by Exotic Realm Invaders, it’s impossible for humans to understand the actions of all tribes.....even they themselves can’t make clear of their deployment, there are too many random possibilities.
But Lu Ping’an believes that the initial phase should go smoothly.
After all, the Eastern Country has been preparing for a long time, and the timing chosen is quite delicate....Pacific War is in full swing, each island, each country in Southeast Asia is in a fierce struggle, which means the main forces of both enemies and us have their own battlefields.
All invaders are fighting for their own territories, making them leave their lands to battle humans in the Poison Sea? Just by imagining, one can know how difficult this task of mobilization and organization is.
However, just as Big Cat said, personal prestige and strength of leaders are very important in these tribal federations. If a real Big Shot appears and rounds up the Overlords and leaders of those tribes once, perhaps they could really be organized.
The authority system of the tribes has many advantages like low efficiency, prone to mistakes, Strongmen rather than Wise Men/Professionals holding high positions, but when they go berserk, they also have the unique advantage of low human life cost and high action efficiency.
".....Continue the adjustments, we are running out of time. We need more time to let our legions adapt to each other."
Lu Ping’an shook his head and ignored the Thunder Storm that was once again passing overhead, heading towards his temporary residence.
Just this number of enemies is not enough for those idle Top Combat Powers to share.....and the most important work at the moment is actually also related to those Extraordinary combat forces.
"Is this list okay to hand over?"
Catherine took out a thick booklet, which contained basic information of various mercenaries, beast swarms, Magic Plants, and Advanced Combat Power within the societies...just the most basic shape, appearance, Power traits, and Skills, to facilitate identification of friends and foes and also to provide a possibility for organizational combat.
This is indeed the most crucial work at the moment, after all, besides the defensive forces of Dragon Moon Island itself, there are also those fleets that have been brought into the (Divine Work) lake area of the island; all the Quasi-God Big Shots have their own legions and followers.
These combat forces are strong, but if they are released haphazardly, without being able to distinguish friend from foe, it will be wasteful and even quite dangerous.
For instance, during the recent battle, someone’s ability was to transform into a Metal Man and then jump onto the city walls.....they could easily be struck dead by a bolt of Thunder, while our own seeing a High-Tier Professional leaping through like thunderbolt, will have to think twice, whether they are one of us, whether they need to be intercepted or not.
Most people received this invitation temporarily, they had no preparation beforehand, even if they knew some of each others’ possibilities, they couldn’t possibly know everything, friendly fire was almost unavoidable.....if there were no Extraordinary in this world.
Now, it seems they plan to give everyone a number and a tag by some means and design a communication network for the High level Commanders, naturally premised on providing sufficient information.
And before heading to the Mountainous Kingdom, this combat system must be established, and in this process, Lu Ping’an also got a glimpse of just how outrageous the assets of the Quasi-God level Big Shots really are.
