The emergence of the King-grade Divine Vein had already caused some ripples.
But the annihilation of all the strongmen from the three prefectures by the Great Wu Dynasty, this was a huge wave, a shocking shockwave.
News returned to the three prefectures, causing unrest.
The rulers of the three prefectures were outraged, each of them filled with anger.
They could never have imagined that the Great Wu could be so audacious, completely disregarding the three prefectures, going as far as to kill their strongmen within the mine vein itself.
Such an act was a provocation!
Also, they were very close to Guihai Prefecture. If this continues, wasn't the Great Wu going to swallow them up as well?
If they didn't fight back, they would become the laughing stocks of the Eastern Profound Domain, a doormat for everyone to step on.
Therefore, the usually quarreling three prefectures quickly united and issued a declaration of war towards the Great Wu.
Inside Wu City.
Lu Qianfu, Zhu Fengfeng, Fang Lei, and others gathered in the main hall, looking up at the great figure above the throne.
"Your Majesty, the three prefectures have assembled a large number of strongmen in a few days, forming an alliance. Countless ships have gathered in the sea area, moving along the coast, advancing towards our Guihai Prefecture. It seems they plan to attack Guihai Prefecture from sea."
Fang Lei stepped forward and promptly reported.
Guihai, Cangshan, Yuning, Lezhang, these four prefectures were not very far apart.
If the three prefectures wanted to launch a mass invasion from another direction, not to mention the time it would take, they would need to pass through other prefectures.
On the other hand, launching an attack from Cangshan Prefecture, which was the closest to the Great Wu, would allow them to envelop Guihai Prefecture within their bombardment range, land directly into the core area of Guihai Prefecture, Wu City, and avoid any strikes along the way.
In the past, in order to establish a waterway with the Martial Domain, Wu City was located near the sea and was directly exposed to threats from the ocean.
"The mine vein is just a fuse."
Chu Yuan said, "The Great Wu based in the Eastern Profound Domain is bound to cause conflicts or even wars. I have foreseen this. Since they have issued a declaration of war and want to provoke this war, I will accept it on behalf of the Great Wu and fight a good battle with them!"
"Your Majesty, I volunteer to fight!" Fang Lei immediately declared.
[Choose Option One: Lead the army yourself to rip apart the allied forces of the three prefectures and gain 500 Destiny Points and the Earth Splitting King-grade Divine Artifact.]
[Choose Option Two: Stay in the core area, unmoving, and command your subordinates to fight against the allied forces of the three prefectures and gain 500 Destiny Points and a 10% increase in the construction phase of the Sky Thunder Gate.]
"This battle must be fought. I will station myself in Wu City. Sky warships, sky soldiers, Thunderbolt Cannons, and a large number of war supplies, I will allocate everything to you. It's time for a battle."
"Right, the Great Wu Dynasty is extremely arrogant, killing our strongmen from the three prefectures within the mine vein. This action of theirs is a blatant disrespect. If we don't mobilize our forces and wipe them out, we will be laughed at endlessly in the future!" .net
The General of Cangshan Prefecture was seething with killing intent, his gaze suddenly looking towards the distant sea.
It was filled with innumerable, sky-blocking ships.
"The allied forces of the three prefectures are up ahead, tear them apart!"
Thirty-five sky warships flew in the sky, and on the sea surface were numerous Armored Flying Boats!
Although Chu Yuan lacks many materials to build sky warships, he was able to construct many Armored Flying Boats.
The Armored Flying Boats were far inferior to sky warships and couldn't fly in the fierce spiritual layer, but compared to the ships of the three prefectures, they were far more powerful, especially their huge tonnage made the ships of the three prefectures seem like small boats.
"Hahaha, these small boats dare to confront the mighty soldiers of the Great Wu. The people of the three prefectures really do not know what death means."
When Fang Lei saw the ships of the three prefectures, he didn't bother to waste talk with them. He didn't bother to throw rounds of mutual threats, but immediately took a stance ready for attack.
"Let the sky warships fly into the spiritual layer and descend above them, all sky cannons, Thunderbolt Cannons, fire at once, give them a round of concentrated bombardment!"
"Let the Armored Flying Boats move into the firing range of the spiritual layer, coordinate with the Thunderbolt Cannon to fire at will!"
"Sky soldiers, man the sky warships, ready to kill at any time!"
"Everyone, get ready for close combat!"
Fang Lei, once a sect master, may not have had experience with large army confrontations before, but as a Crossing Divinity strongman, he conducted this war methodically.
As for the Thunderbolt Cannon,
Although there were only three thousand Thunderbolt Cannons, there were hundreds of thousands of spiritual cannons. This concentrated fire suddenly poured out. Fang Lei seemed to have already seen the scene of the opponent's ships being blown to pieces and countless people being buried at the bottom of the sea.
"Attack!"
The sky warships suddenly flew into the spiritual layer, then appeared above the allied forces of the three prefectures. The Thunderbolt Cannon on top had long condensed its kinetic energy.
The ships of the other side had also entered the firing range of the spiritual cannons.
The spiritual cannons were not as good as the Thunderbolt Cannons, but they were not something the three prefectures could have. And since the material was easy to find, Chu Yuan could construct many of them, compensating for power with more intense bombardment.
Boom!
In an instant, countless bombardments hit the allied forces of the three prefectures, brutally shredding them apart!
A major naval battle thus unfolded!
