1281 TWO Chapter 1281-Lamu warship (1/2)
Chapter 1281 – Lamu Warship
The Darkness empire not interfering in the war of Java did not mean that it was not going to start any waves.
1st month, 15th day, just as the war of Java was hotly underway, the Darkness empire sent out 150 thousand troops to attack Hawaii.
This was the battle that announced the Darkness Empire Navy to the world.
The Mu Continent was vast and huge, and the biggest lake in it - the Lamu Lake - was as big as Caspian City. The lake housed the strongest squadron of the Darkness empire - the Darkness Squadron.
Their warships were not the man o' war series or the iron armored warships. Instead, it was a combination of the Mu Empire's greatest technologies; it was a completely new type of warship.
These warships were not big, but their firepower was comparable to the iron armored warships.
As they say, how can one sleep soundly beside a wall that is about to collapse? Considering how fearful the Darkness empire was of Great Xia, they had all the more reason to not allow Hawaii to remain occupied by Great Xia.
”To take down Hawaii, we will stop at nothing.” Darkness Empire emperor Keisuke Honda said.
News had it that the 150 thousand were only their vanguard forces. To take down Hawaii, they were planning to throw in a million troops, ”We will suck them dry.”
Facing such circumstances, the Cabinet suggested that they directly give up on Hawaii Prefecture.
Ouyang Shuo had other ideas. First, he asked the civilians of Hawaii to teleport away using the teleportation formation. After that, he ordered the 1st legion of the Tiger legion corps as well as the Pacific Squadron to engage the enemy immediately.
He wanted to test out the strength of the Darkness empire.
The intel that the Black Snake Guards had obtained so far was merely the surface. As for their actual strength, only by engaging them on the battlefield could Ouyang Shuo gauge it.
Since this was the case, this battle had to be fought.
Moreover, Ouyang Shuo was already annoyed about giving up Morocco, and he could not forgive himself for that. As such, he could not easily give up on Hawaii; if he did, how would the civilians of Great Xia look at their Imperial Court?
How would the world look at Great Xia?
Hence, not only did they have to fight this war, but they also had to fight it well.
They could not fight a long, drawn-out battle. Moreover, they had to make it painful for those fellows and make these failure realize that, ”Your father is still your father!”
Do not think that you are invincible just because all of you are sticking together.
It was under such circumstances that the war of Hawaii broke out, shocking the entire Pacific Ocean.
...
1st month, 16th day, the navy squadrons of both sides engaged on the ocean.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions of the Darkness Squadron exited the Lamu Lake and entered the Pacific Ocean, going up north of the shoreline of the Mu Continent to attack Hawaii Prefecture.
Leading the way was a navy general of the Federation, Ichiro Eguchi.
At the same time, he was also the Fleet Admiral of the Darkness Squadron. He held an important position in supporting the power of the Japanese in the Darkness empire.
After the destruction of their countries, the historical people of each country had no more ties with them.
In the current Darkness empire, be it in terms of military or Imperial Court, the ones holding the important positions were all players. It was a new dynasty model in the game world.
As for the Mu Continent natives?
Since they had taken the players in as slaves before, this debt was naturally paid back to them. Now, the natives had become slaves.
The Darkness empire had created another world's first, becoming the first dynasty in the game to openly raise slaves.
In the entire trial lands, there were over 300 million players. Even without natives, they had enough to support the Darkness empire. All the combat occupation players were drafted into the army.
The 4th and 5th divisions of the Darkness Squadron went down south, trying to make a loop to get to the north of Hawaii to pincer Hawaii Prefecture.
Who would have expected that the 2nd and 3rd division of the Pacific Ocean Squadron were not prepared to simply defend? After the war began, they used their familiarity with the geography to directly go down south.
The two squadrons bumped into one another in the ocean region near the Mu Continent.
