Chapter 663: General Shi Fandream! Chief Therapist of the General Headquarters!

"Mount Dajiao!" Ma Wenhong murmured. "No wonder!"

"What no wonder?"

"No wonder Marshal Xu only scolded you — the real punishment was here!"

"What's wrong with Mount Dajiao?"

Su Yang sensed something was off.

"This isn't a place to talk. Let's go outside."

"Alright!"

Su Yang and Liu Liu Mengyun followed Ma Wenhong out of the General Headquarters and returned to the Eight Military Districts Office, where they sat in an office and Ma Wenhong finally spoke slowly.

"I know a little about Mount Dajiao — I learned it recently from Colonel Liu Yun."

"The Southeast Military District borders the East Sea and has a long coastline. After the Great Catastrophe, sea beasts frequently come ashore and attack coastal cities, destroying many. As a result, large numbers of civilians and Beast Tamer have retreated inland!"

Su Yang asked: "Then what happened to Mount Dajiao?"

"The Southwest Military District couldn't allow all coastal cities to be abandoned — they kept some, including Mount Dajiao," Ma Wenhong explained. "Among these coastal cities, Mount Dajiao is one of the easternmost and most frequently harassed by sea beasts. Recently, it was attacked, and its lord, the Sovereign-level expert Du Du Yongtao, was severely wounded. He still hasn't awakened before Liu Yun left for Shengcheng."

Su Yang asked in confusion: "If it's so dangerous, why bother holding onto Mount Dajiao?"

"The Southeast Military District can't abandon all coastal cities. Think of them as outposts, monitoring sea beast movements and preventing large-scale invasions!" Ma Wenhong explained. "Also, these coastal cities produce excellent water-type pet beasts and rare resources rarely seen inland. The ocean is full of danger — but also a great treasure trove!"

The ocean covers nearly seven-tenths of this planet's surface.

After the Great Catastrophe, various sea beasts became the masters of the ocean.

Since then, the ocean has become a forbidden zone for humans.

Within the ocean, countless powerful sea beasts dwell.

No one doubts this.

Large-scale sea beast invasions have occurred multiple times in history.

Two small nations surrounding the Huaxia Federation were completely wiped out by sea beast invasions.

The Huaxia Federation has also suffered three large-scale sea beast invasions in its history.

Fortunately, except for the first invasion, which caused Suffered heavy losses along the coast, the other two inflicted minimal damage on the Huaxia Federation.

The preserved coastal cities played an indispensable role in this.

When sea beasts launched large-scale land invasions, these coastal cities could relay the warning in advance.

Upon receiving the alert, the major coastal military districts would swiftly formulate plans to evacuate civilians and launch targeted strikes against the sea beasts.

Thanks to the Huaxia Federation's vast territory and strategic depth, the two invasions caused little damage and even brought the Federation considerable gains.
