As the clock struck the allocated time, the idle engines of Ress War Machines started to be brought to life. There was no need for any instructions since everyone knew what they had to do because of the extensive planning performed by the military bigwigs who were sitting comfortably in various locations.
Jin had made sure that all of the commands had been separated in various locations in the event that one bomb was enough to decimate the entire Royal Ress Castle ]supposedly where the original War Room was supposed to be held.
The King of Ress had fought in sufficient battles to ensure that there were duplicates and decoys to ensure that the generals and officers of various divisions had been dispersed so that if there was a loss of command, the other could take over. It was a systematic sharing of power and the chain of command had been established in such a way that there were contingencies installed as backup.
But what they needed the most was communication and the System was able to provide that easily. The earring had enabled them not to be worried about the sudden loss of communication and they could do what was needed to ensure that the line of command continued on.
Tanks were seen hiding near bunker like fortifications and there were some stationed in the woods. Fighter planes had already sortied out and they were hovering outside of the isolation barrier, doing a slow detour while waiting for the enemies to appear before they enter. The Rifle Mages had been stationed in various places in lieu of the locations of the combat support that they are able to have.
After all, the battle would most likely be done in the skies...or so they thought.

The moment the clock ticks to twelve midnight, the entire skies started to glow as if the sun had risen once more. The shining lights of the heavens continued to pollute the silent sea of stars and they rendered the moon useless.
"And I am the King of Ress. You are violating the property of"
"SUCH INSOLENCE SHALL NOT BE TOLERATED!" Matsya shouted and his words caused the air to revebrated violently. If not for the fact that everyone was magically trained, their ears would have already been busted.
"Hey. You are the one that is insolent, Fishman. We gave you ample warning. Respect that warning and fuck off our lands or else we need to use appropriate force to get you out." Jin said as he pointed at his kingdom's flag.
It was waving around proudly right beside him and the available magic eyes that were transmitted to the troops made them feel proud that their King did not waver at such vast numbers. Instead, he made fun of them and even ridiculed these so called gods.
But to see that the gods were not as benevolent as they thought they would be, more of them believed that Jin wanted to be a God Slayer for a reason.
"To think, the last signs of Vishnu came from this pathetic country. Looks like what we need to do is some cleaning ." Matsya said as he held up a conch shell and blew it, giving the signal for the rest of the Dashavatara to enter battle. His army of killer fishes began to descend down the skies as silhouettes of giant waves accompanied it.
That also meant that the rest of the Dashavatara would start to make their moves to attack.
"Oh, that's what we thought too. We wanted to sleep but you disturbed our peaceful night. Not to mention trespassing with the intention to kill. That is the premise for defensive actions. All units!
Commence Operation Celestial Mopping!" Jin said and at that instant, a bombardment of artillery fire and missiles was seen bursting out of Ress's fortifications, indicating the start of this Celestial Battle.
