Capítulo 2083: Chapter 651: Naga, Here to Visit!
“You’re right, this Naga army is indeed around two hundred thousand strong. The main part is made up of sixty thousand seal warriors and sixty thousand sea dog warriors as infantry. There are also about twenty thousand sea lion chariot troops and around twenty thousand walrus cavalry. The Naga are the backbone, with roughly eight thousand strong, and there’s still two to three thousand seahorse n driving fifty to sixty giant eels. You could say these seahorse n are either civilian workers or logistics troops; in any case, they shouldn’t be counted as part of the combat forces,” Liu Zhenhan counted on his fingers one by one: “The weapons of this Naga army have been ironized, but most of the armor and shields are still mainly made of shells and crab shells.”
Roml gulped down so saliva.
“Oh right…” Old Liu tilted his head in thought and added: “In terms of heavy weapons, they also brought ten ‘Hai Lan War Ancient Trees,’ but as for other heavy equipnt, nothing else is visible for now. Besides, the Naga themselves also carry weapons similar to bows and arrows—hiss—when I fought them last year, these guys didn’t use bow and arrow at all!”
“Eight thousand Naga? Hmph… Judging by the entire population of these fallen Elves, they must have already exerted every ounce of their strength, mobilizing all the forces they can,” Roml rested his fingers on his brows, closed his eyes, and thought for a mont: “Their confidence is truly overflowing…”
“Do they have any choice but to fight desperately? The seas the Naga live in are full of vortices and murky water, with nurous ferocious sea beasts making the Naga’s ho their hunting ground. Moreover, there are also massive carnivorous jellyfish and highly toxic coral reefs!” Liu Zhenhan twisted his mouth: “It’s not the first ti the Naga fought with such desperation. Last ti during the land-sea war, they were just as fierce! They’re driven by life circumstances! If they could deal with Seia and Ares, they wouldn’t target the land in the first place!”
“Let them be desperate or not!” The graceful commander suddenly opened his eyes, a sly grin appearing at the corner of his mouth: “The physical build of marine Orcs cannot be compared to land-based Beamon. Among these two hundred thousand, only those eight thousand Naga are slightly tricky to handle, but with the Totem Pillar of War Songs, this advantage is neutralized. Why do you co asking what to do?”
“I’m here to ask you what to do right now!”
“How do you want to fight?”
“How do I want to fight? That’s for you to decide!”
“It doesn’t matter, with twenty thousand how we fight, we will win. I an—whether it’s an open-field battle—or relying on fortresses at Sunset Swamp for defensive counterattacks!”
“I’m glad to hear you say so.” Liu Zhenhan squinted, lighting a cigar for himself: “Defensive counterattacks from fortresses are definitely not a problem, but as for field battles, Beamon might struggle to muster the forces. I hope you at Lucian can lend a hand.”
“No problem!” Roml readily agreed, with no hint of refusal or delay: “What I an is that field battle is the key, holding fortresses lacks technical sophistication! However…our Lucian air force can definitely make it on ti, but other forces might not keep pace. So, could you possibly coordinate with Lord Mourinho to draw five thousand troops from the Northwestern Province to partner with for an annihilation battle?”
“Look at that! One person falls, a million stand up!” Liu Zhenhan was even a bit surprised; he hadn’t expected Roml would agree so easily: “No need to find Mourinho, I can manage to dispatch Lucian’s forces over!”
“You…” Roml thought to himself, ‘With those twenty or so seven-degree gold rings you have, having to balance out other Beamon city transfers and logistics, while helping us transport tens of thousands of troops, isn’t that a bit of a stretch?’
Old Liu didn’t say a word, simply biting his cigar with a mischievous smile. He turned back and clapped his hands with force.
Fat Luo dropped a basin full of Seven-degree Gold Rings with a clang right in front of the stunned commander.

Seeing a brother asked an interesting question:
Can a city rely on groundwater and within-the-city water sources to sustain the city’s consumption?
Without talking about the fantasy solution of using Seven-degree Gold Rings for transportation in Beast Blood, back in the Ming Dynasty, when the Imperial City was reportedly established by Liu Bowen, an evil dragon was trapped in the bitter sea under the city. So, there weren’t many sweet water wells in the Imperial City. Ordinary people drank from bitter water wells, while the Emperor drank the water hauled from Jade Spring Mountain.
Actually, there’s another interesting point many might not have noticed. Most fantasy war depictions hardly or never detail the logistics supply line’s transport force. Just think about the Huaihai War, how many civilians pushed wheelbarrows to supply food to the front lines?
That’s why I specially ntioned before, for the 1.4 million Hai Mu allied army, at least two hundred thousand were logistics troops, also known as non-combat fish bellies.
Writing more sotis makes things drag a bit. Please stop accusing of writing nonsense to scam money. With such a big scene left unexplained, even I would feel embarrassed… Writing poorly is a capability issue, right… In short, for those who find it not worth spending money but still want to keep reading, just go read the pirated versions, okay?
Since I started writing this book, not a single day has gone by without soone in the reviews section calling my work rubbish! (To be continued. To find out what happens next, please visit CMFU, more chapters there, support the author, support legitimate reading!)
