The Mulan infantry that escaped in the aftermath of the battle caused great suffering for the over hundred thousand elderly, weak, and infirm who hadn’t managed to retreat to Witherspoon’s main city in the Northeast Province; the defeated soldiers had no supplies and couldn’t rely solely on hunting to survive long in the wasteland, so they beca unusually brutal.
Including the hundred thousand cal cavalry that had been routed early on, more than eighty thousand Mulan defeated troops road the Northeast Wasteland. To muster the effort to annihilate these scattered remnants wasn’t easy and required a sizable amount of ti; it was sothing inevitable, as war is without humanity. From the very start, all the Beamon leadership had understood that those who hadn’t retreated to the main city were bound to suffer the enemy’s frenzied retaliation. Now, all that could be done was to try to save as many as possible.
To vent his anger, Liu Zhenhan purchased a large quantity of tiger dog butterfish from Tang Zang’s Fifth Highness and poured them all into the four snowwater tributaries outside Wei City.
These tiger dog butterfish, with teeth like saw blades, had dedicated breeding bases in the Tang Zang Empire, serving as specialized military equipnt, ant for use in moats. A hundred tiger dog butterfish could strip a head of cattle to its skeleton in five minutes. When these creatures arrived in Aegean, the Sea Clan warriors who sought refuge in the snowwater streams t their downfall, with heart-wrenching screams echoing almost continuously across the wastelands.
Cleaning up this battlefield took Beamon three days and nights. Several volcanoes in the Underground World were used as cremation furnaces, belching black smoke. This thod also led to a very good outco, as since this battle, the iron fished out from the lava river by the Undermark Arsenal consists entirely of the finest steel forged from the offerings of hundreds of thousands to the furnace.
The spoils from this battle were substantial, marking the Beamon Kingdom’s second-largest acquisition in recent years. In addition to a large quantity of grain, military equipnt, skilled craftsn, and dical officers, the Sea Clan’s abandoned conch shell encampnts eased considerable trouble for Beamon in future construction.
As the logistics beasts of the Sea Clan army, the two hundred twenty-seven giant dragon turtles were twice the total number of Base Dragons collected by Undermark over the years, even more with a twist. However, after this battle, none of the Beamon priests needed to replace their magic pets. Aside from gifting ten giant tortoises to Tang Zang’s Prince as paynt, the remaining rippled dragon turtles were saved as inventory for later.
Regarding heavy weaponry, aside from an Avril iron tower, two gno siege chariots were intactly seized by Old Liu. The Golden Giant Dragon Hasselbaink’s superb electrode magic attacks only killed the chariots’ drivers without damaging the bronze structures; these were originally Roml’s legacy to the Mulan Empire, which ultimately fell into Old Liu’s hands after circling round.
Roml had tried repeatedly to redeem these two chariots, but twice he failed to reach an agreent with Old Liu.
The great victory also brought another advantage strategically, as the Sea Clan joint forces besieging Sabak obediently opted for siege tactics, no longer daring to launch a frontal assault on cities like Witherspoon.
This stalemate played perfectly into Beamon’s hands. After all, so use has to co from the useless fish in the Sanggan River.
The teleportation array mines destroyed the head of the Sea Clan joint forces at Sand City. However, with the portable magic teleportation array by the troops, the Sea Clan joint forces besieging Sabak quickly regained new leadership; they swiftly split about half of the Sea Clan’s main army to advance northwest toward the Donau Wasteland.
The remaining half of the invaders, besides honestly spending ti creating siege machinery, also dug trenches and erected tall barricades outside their field camp, indicating a posture of preventing a heavy phantom beast cluster charge.
According to Roml, the Sea Clan commanders must be insane!
Steady and finessed strategy had no aning for the Sea Clan army anymore. After all, these two enormous, combined corps landed in the Donau Wasteland not just to destroy the Beamon Kingdom, but to coordinate with the primary Sea Clan forces on the battlefront, to encircle the Aegean Humans from west to east!
Since they couldn’t swallow Beamon whole now, why waste ti here?
Although the current situation is adverse, the Sea Clan’s advantages are still overwhelming. The correct approach now is to adjust the strategy promptly, rather than clinging to montary pride! Continuing to entangle and skirmish with Beamon reduces the war to a ga of pretentiousness!
Roml doubted whether the Sea Clan, when formulating their battle plans, even assigned a stipulated arrival ti for these two corps to reach Dorott.
"If I were the Sea Clan joint forces’ commander, I would station a million Mulanese in the Donau Wasteland to steadily manufacture siege machinery and attack Beamon cities, while the remaining two million Sea Clan troops would imdiately dash toward Yif Castle in Dorott! What’s the point of keeping so many together here? Siege warfare still requires waves of replenishnt!" After hearing Roml’s evaluations and analyses, Old Liu sneakily stunned Emperor Sal: "For re historical grudges, they’re foolishly engaging with us like this, the commander of this Sea Clan joint forces is simply idiotic beyond compare!"
Swearing by the sea gods Amphitrite and Neptune, there are sensible people within the Sea Clan army.
Without ntioning others, both Coral Crown Princes have repeatedly advised Emperor Beckenbauer of Seia against wasting precious ti on Beamon: just besiege their cities and eventually those Beamon will starve to death—Beamon’s staple food is livestock and cheese, now with their cities surrounded like iron barrels, the herds within have no pasture land and can only be fed on hay. Before long, they’ll starve. In winter, the dead livestock can be preserved for a long ti, but now it’s sumr, if the siege continues, how can Beamon fight on with spoiled and rotten at?
