After dealing with the humans, the Beamon are like teeth without lips. Exposed to the cold wind, they won’t last long.
Surveying her perfect defense line and firepower arrangent, the Siren Queen felt very satisfied, the black beauty mark at the corner of her mouth heightened once more.
The Sea Clan’s strategic deploynt has taken shape, a reality that no weak nation can alter.
The Sea Clan’s army has made significant progress these days; baptized and tested by combat, the warriors have gradually begun to adapt to land-based warfare. Unlike the sea, the land offers no waters for floating or diving; faced with dense forests and towering mountains, ocean warriors cannot swim across, but must asure the land step by step with their own feet.
Compared to the troubles caused by human armies, the rugged and treacherous terrestrial environnt is even more vexing for Sea Clan warriors. The Alps Wetland, straddling the north-south axis of Kalimdo, inconveniently stretches across the crucial golden waterway on the Sea Clan’s westward path. If they bypass it, they must traverse mountains, which is evidently impractical for a grand army; but if they choose the direct approach, the human army only needs to seize the Forgotten Valley to block the Sea Clan’s advance relentlessly.
Sea Clan’s military intelligence departnt generally believes the unsatisfactory early combat performance was mainly due to the Sea Clan’s warriors not yet adapting to the land environnt and combat style; with the most perilous terrain of the Alps Wetland finally in their grasp, the "Coral Sea Line" defense stands like a wall of iron, forcing constant futile human attacks, extracting heavy prices in blood and casualties, dampening morale, and frustrating human spirits.
The bashful goddess of victory has unveiled her veil, and the Sea Clan army is about to enjoy her enchanting smile.
"This is strength against strength, our power surpasses yours by far!" Queen Chaoheran gave a contemptuous cold laugh at the posturing human war formations, the black beauty mark at her corner of her mouth perked up defiantly: "I’m curious to see what kind of big shot you’ve invited!"
"They’re coming!" The Sea Clan’s military intelligence staff shouted nervously. A petal of transparent crystal straightened on the ground like a sail, concave facing toward the distant human army, like a solitary sunflower; another shell petal lay flat, filled with azure sea water, the mirror-like surface revealed a squad of valiant Terrestrial Dragon Cavalry, holding golden spears with elegant red triangular flags, lined up along a red carpeted road.
"Zoom in the surveillance lens of the crystal petal!" Queen Chaoheran ordered her staff: "The Terrestrial Dragon Cavalry is the human’s elite cavalry; using them for an honor guard today ans the guest isn’t ordinary."
"No need to guess; it’s certainly that Erald Overlord, our Beckenbauer’s ’beloved son-in-law.’" A military intelligence officer with three gold sea stars on his shoulder unlocked his tactical gloves, bet his eyes playfully as he teased about the Seia court’s scandal, and pressed deeply along the grooves of the crystal petal with his fingers.
The azure sea water in the horizontal crystal petal suddenly shook violently, and once the ripples cald, the imagery of the human army indeed drew closer.
The red carpet welcoming the Terrestrial Dragon Cavalry stretched westward, connecting to a colossal earthen mound adorned with nurous colorful ribbons and banners; countless faceless human generals in armor awaited solemnly for the esteed guest’s arrival.
"Can we zoom any closer?" asked the Siren Queen.
"If we zoom further, the crystal petal might break." The highest-ranking Sea Snake chief staff lightly flicked his tongue.
"The best steel must be used on the blade; don’t be stingy, zoom the surveillance lens of the crystal petal to the maximum."
"As you command, my Queen."
The upright crystal petal exploded into two halves, the azure water from the shell splashed into fierce waves, and once calm, the gigantic earthen mound ca fully into view.
Teams of large Beamon n, clad in black bear skin coats and tower-like hats, circled from behind the earthen mound to form a triple gate ring below, uniformly muscular and violent, with rough and insolent gazes.
Twelve gigantic tal Spiders with long, open limbs surrounded these Beamon n, aiming their gleaming chainsaw-like mandibles silently in all directions, their crystalline exteriors radiating plunder and slaughter, along with deep brown bloodstains yet to be cleaned.
A mont later, a tearing shriek like a thunder god wife’s soulful moan coursed heavily across the blue sky, as the colossal air-borne Beasts flapped wide wings, lifting Beamon Knights into the air.
The grand military music simultaneously played, vibrating every blade and leaf in the Kalimdo plain, while a handso and majestic young noble ascended the earthen mound with great pomp, surrounded by cheering human generals and leaders.
The Siren Queen released a low hum from her throat, faint as the sound of woodwind.
