Chapter 1059: Tit-for-Tat

"So, before I arrived, you had already successfully manufactured a bloody incident?" Hariman held his wine glass. "Not bad, this is our style. To welcome the Enthronement Ceremony of this Yan Wang, we must see some blood."

Bolt shook his head at this time. "General Wesley is drunk. In fact, it hasn't started yet. We are going to act on the day of the Enthronement Ceremony. The news will take ten days or half a month to reach the ears of Yan Wang, who will already be the Emperor of Great Song. It will make him furious then, hahaha..."

Wesley patted his head to make himself a little clearer. He nodded silently, his gaze cast toward Magalan in the western part of Tianzhu.

That was the front line where the Western Lands Allied Forces and the Great Song army were in a standoff.

He had already given orders to the officers there.

On the day of the Abdication Ceremony, they were to manufacture a bloody conflict.

Although he was clear that in this bloody conflict, their relative losses might be greater.

But even so, he could not let Yan Wang ascend the throne so comfortably.

In any case, he had to vent his pent-up anger.

At the same time.

Ashuer stood in a valley outside Songyang Pass, surrounded by his generals.

Bending down to grab a handful of soil under his feet, Ashuer's face twisted.

It was right here that he had encountered an assassination, thereby losing a leg.

Afterward, the wound on this leg would ache whenever it met the cold, and every time it ached, it reminded him of the humiliation that had seeped into his marrow.

"There are two days left until the Abdication Ceremony. When the time comes, we will launch an attack on Songyang Pass. For Great Song's Abdication Ceremony, I, Ashuer, must join in the fun," Ashuer sneered.

The soldiers who came with him this time were few, only three thousand men.

But this number was enough. His idea was the same as Wesley's: to cause trouble.

Or rather, it was Wesley who had reminded him.

He believed that as long as there were people who held hatred for Yan Wang, they would all want to create some unpleasantness for him on the Abdication Ceremony, a day that was supposed to be joyous for Yan Wang.

It was just as he thought.

At this moment, besides Wesley and him, north of Ningjin Dusi, a team of Northern Di Cavalry was heading toward Ningjin Dusi.

They had come precisely under the orders of Wulanba.

They would pass through the Ningjin Dusi defense line, look for villages to carry out a massacre, and offer a gift to Yan Wang.

And in the eastern waters of Great Song, Sam Country warships were sailing on the ocean.

Like the Northern Di, their goal was to attempt to pass through the Great Song Navy's blockade, reach the near seas of Great Song, and raid the coast.

To them, the threat of Great Song had reached the point of being an imminent crisis.

Because of the rise of Great Song, all their plans to colonize Dongtu had fallen through, and they had even lost Dongying, an important trade node.

They had even lost the trade in Dongtu.

What worried them even more was that the operational range of Great Song warships was constantly expanding eastward.

They had even discovered the presence of Great Song warships near Hawaii Island.

If this continued to develop, wouldn't Great Song warships appear off the west coast of Sam Country?

Perhaps before long, they would appear in the New Continent, threatening their interests in the New Continent.

And this was absolutely intolerable to the Sam Country, which was bent on rising.

This was also the reason why they stood firmly with the countries of the Western Lands to encircle and suppress Great Song.

Just as various forces were preparing to cause trouble on the day of the Abdication Ceremony.

The Great Song troops stationed everywhere also had their own plans.

Their plans were naturally completely different from those of the various forces, but their actions were somewhat similar.

Piaoman Kingdom, Mongyuwa.

This was a small city in the region where Piaoman Kingdom bordered Tianzhu.

Opposite the small city was where the Western Lands Allied Forces were stationed.

And the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army and the Vermilion Bird Army were stationed to the east of the small city.

"There are two days left until the Abdication Ceremony. Our Yan Wang will soon inherit the great throne and ascend as Emperor. This is a grand event. Because we are on duty, we cannot return to Yancheng to celebrate for His Highness in person, so we will prepare a gift for His Highness on the day of the ceremony," Shang Yi shouted in front of the trench.

His Grand General Qin Shan and the Vermilion Bird Army Grand General Guan Tong had both returned.

The defense here had been handed over to several of them, the Captains.

When the two left, they allowed them to take some appropriate actions to offer a gift for the Abdication Ceremony.

After discussion, he and the Vermilion Bird Army Captains unanimously decided to take a highland five hundred meters to the front right.

This highland guarded the passage between Piaoman Kingdom and Tianzhu.

It was currently occupied by the Western Lands Allied Forces.

The Western Lands Allied Forces had even dug trenches on the mountain and installed Artillery to prevent them from advancing westward.

In the future, if they were to attack Tianzhu, this highland would become a trouble.

Therefore, capturing this highland could both win an offensive advantage for the Great Song army and serve as a gift for the ceremony—killing two birds with one stone.

When the time came, they would mount Machine Guns on the highland, and the Western Lands Allied Forces would have no choice but to retreat.

While Shang Yi was formulating the action for the day of the Abdication Ceremony, the Black Tortoise Army and the Western Regions Protectorate troops were also planning their own actions.

Jincheng.

Di Ying had learned in advance that a team of Northern Di Cavalry was coming from the direction of the Khan Court toward Ningjin Dusi.

Consequently, he dispatched the Gun Cavalry of the Black Tortoise Army to tail them.

During this period, he had been constantly receiving the latest locations of the Northern Di Cavalry.

At the same time, he had also set a trap, waiting only for this team of cavalry to arrive to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

And in the direction of Tongguan in Jinzhou, a team of Gun Cavalry came from the direction of Yin Mountain, bringing back intelligence on the location of the Northern Di tribes.

Immediately, five thousand Gun Cavalry set out from Tongguan and headed toward the Grassland.

In the direction of Tibet, the White Tiger Army did not take any action.

This was because Tibet was vast and desolate.

Although Dian Zhang, who was garrisoned at Songyang Pass, felt regretful, he could only settle for the next best thing: seeking no merit, but only to avoid mistakes.

Consequently, he ordered the soldiers to strengthen the defenses of Songyang Pass.

While the Army was preoccupied with its own little schemes, the Navy was naturally not idle either.

Following the orders of Yan Wang, after Commander Zhou Yi returned with the fleet, he began to mop up the Warships of Sam Country.

Over this past month, the number of Sam Country Warships they had sunk reached as many as forty-eight.

After Zhou Yi headed to Yancheng, Gong Ying took over the responsibility of mopping up the Sam Country Warships.

"Captain, we have confirmed it; there are eight Sam Country Warships stationed long-term at that island. My subordinates and the soldiers are fully prepared and can set out at any time." In the Wanghai City public office, a naval officer reported to Gong Ying.

Gong Ying nodded.

No fleet could possibly drift on the sea forever.

Even if a Warship had sufficient food, it still had to replenish fresh water every few days.

This was the reason why a fleet needed supply points.

Therefore, the Sam Country fleet could not stay drifting on the sea indefinitely and was bound to find an island capable of providing fresh water to serve as a support base.

Based on this characteristic of the Navy, they had indeed found one of the islands that Sam Country used for resupply.

Moreover, it seemed that a certain Sam Country officer was stationed on the island, which was why Warships were anchored there long-term.

This time, they were going to capture this island and present a grand gift for the grand ceremony.
