Seeing this provocative statent in person, General Sharlonbas, Supre Commander of the Sea Clan’s garrison corps, couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. He’s fought for half his life, yet it’s the first ti he’s seen an enemy stand from his perspective and offer several constructive suggestions, with no threats throughout the full text, yet each word carries a unique chill.
"What kind of person is the commander of this Flying Cal Army?" With the natural intuition of a seasoned soldier, General Sharlonbas keenly realized the difficulty and extraordinariness of his opponent.
Given the fiery trend of the rear occupied areas, the two Sea Emperors, while recruiting Sea Dragons and Prawnian Shrimpn, issued decrees lambasting General Sharlonbas in Eastern Aegean for incompetence and ordered him to imdiately resolve this light cavalry behind enemy lines and stabilize the situation behind the main force.
As the Supre Commander of the Sea Clan corps stationed in Eastern Aegean, General Sharlonbas is not a fatuous diocre person. On the contrary, he is an outstanding military strategist known as the "Intelligent General" in Ares, very wise and clear-minded.
General Sharlonbas understands the overwhelming anger of the two Sea Emperors. The unfavorable progress of the battle caused the Sea Clan’s pre-war declaration of "Aegean’s extinction in three months" to beco an international joke. With the strength of two major mariti powers, if it takes years of tug-of-war to settle the land races the Sea Clan has always despised, it’s a sha that can’t be washed away even with all the water of Seia! But no matter how shaful, General Sharlonbas understands a helpless fact—the Sea Clan military away from the ocean is a crippled force with many hidden dangers, flaws in regional adaptability that cannot be redied!
The Sea Clan lacks truly effective land cavalry units, and first and foremost cannot compete with the Flying Cal Army in terms of mobility. Reinforcing allied forces, pursuing and attacking, setting ambushes and encirclents, without mobility, it’s all nonsense!
The quality of Sea Clan’s armants is very average, whereas the Flying Cal Army has extrely sharp top-level weapons. When Sea Clan warriors clash with them, they are often split in two along with their weapons!
Even more troubling is that the entire million Sea Clan garrison currently needs to defend a vast area of up to 1.8 million square kiloters. Such a broad territory greatly disperses General Sharlonbas’s forces and directly results in relatively sparse Sea Clan garrison forces facing the Flying Cal Army whenever they attack a town.
The ordinary citizens living in this vast territory are not benevolent people; they’re two million humans with intense hostility toward the Sea Clan!
This dangerously volcanic social structure and geographical environnt made General Sharlonbas strongly suggest to the Supre Command at the Base Camp upon taking office that only by quickly killing all humans in the occupied territory and filling the void with massive ocean migrants can the rear truly be stabilized—a perspective coincidentally shared with Roml.
But the progress at the front has always been unfavorable, and the cowardly staff of the Supre Command feared provoking the two million humans in the occupied territories to fight to the death, forcibly shelving General Sharlonbas’s wise proposal for the ti being without consideration.
Faced with a multitude of tricky issues at hand, General Sharlonbas initially wanted to persuade the two Sea Emperors to draw another million reserves from the sea to bolster the rear occupied areas, stepping forward thodically with superior forces, stabilizing the worsening situation, gradually squeezing the Flying Cal Army’s activity space until they are completely wiped out.
But this conservative tactic of boiling a frog in warm water clearly didn’t please the two Sea Emperors. The Sea Clan’s current logistic line is already under great pressure; deploying another million troops is not difficult, but the salt issue is—oddly enough, in this unprecedented war involving over ten million troops, the mighty Sea Clan army lacks neither food nor clothing, only salt!
But facts are facts, even a hero forged of iron would lose their footing without salt after three days. Currently, the salt wells, salt mines of Western Kalimdo Great Plains, and the salt marsh forests in Florendo of Donau Wasteland, have not been claid by the Sea Clan army. This strategic oversight is now magnified, directly leaving the massive army in the seabed world waiting in place.
An ancient Goblin craftsman’s saying fits the Sea Clan’s current awkward plight perfectly—"even the largest, most intricate gear chanism can jam with an invading screw."
General Sharlonbas is no deity; he can’t solve the most troubleso salt issue at hand, alleviating the Sea Emperors’ concerns, so he can only hope for more aid for the garrison corps, considering it’s extrely taxing to guard the vast 1.8 million square kiloters of land and suppress the erging restoration uprisings with a re million infantry.
His request was t with a response; after careful consideration, the two Sea Emperors allocated fifty thousand warriors and two thousand Storm Sorcerers from the main force to assist him in quickly annihilating the Flying Cal Army.
With sufficient resources at hand, General Sharlonbas decisively abandoned many human cities and assembled a huge army group, intending to engage the Flying Cal Army decisively with superior forces and eradicate this most influential rebel force in Eastern Aegean, extinguishing the waves of restoration sprouting everywhere.
