Chapter 1605: Chapter 1605

1605: Chapter 1601 Pressure 1605: Chapter 1601 Pressure Emergency situations require urgent handling.

Upon receiving the message, Lu Ping’an immediately dropped everything and headed straight to his own military region.

After all, he was not only the commander of the military region, but at the same time, also responsible for guarding it as a high-tier combat power.

In fact, after arriving, Lu Ping’an also obtained the contact method of three Quasi-Gods…

They should all be in the surrounding cities and will respond to Lu Ping’an’s call when necessary.

“Fortunately, my ‘Trading Land’ over there can already operate on its own….”

What Lu Ping’an could feel relieved about was probably that everything back in his hometown was going smoothly and had started operating in all aspects.

A large number of researchers are engaged in the study of transforming Ancient Trees into Warships….

this is actually something he himself could easily handle; it’s just about converting some fundamental rules of the two worlds, transferring the fabrication technique of Mercury 42 over.

In reality, his “Clone” was overseeing the research there.

The feeling of using a clone was not new to him, but unlike previously controlling it directly, this time it was more like an AI with its personality…

Essentially it was still him, no need to worry about mental fragmentation, but Lu Ping’an indeed did not need to control it personally anymore; he just needed to wait for the results from their side.

The biggest help those researchers could provide was actually the various devices and equipment on the “Warship.”

How effective a warship can be is often not judged by its own performance, but by what it carries and what functions it specifically has.

This should be left to the experts to study…

Lu Ping’an just used his own authority to order several Original Wood Warships.

Just as a combat tool for himself, as an Advanced Combat Power, these things held sufficient value.

“…There has been a warning issued for you from above.”

“Eh, do they want me to work a standard shift?”

Lu Ping’an was slightly surprised to be singled out directly.

Although he really hadn’t been working regularly, shouldn’t the higher-ups already know what he was doing?

“No, they are requesting that you prioritize your own safety; even if the frontline collapses, you must ensure your own survival….”

The deputy relaying the message was a bit puzzled.

How could there be such an order that the commander’s personal safety takes precedence over the entire War Zone?

To lose the frontline without any responsibility?

But Lu Ping’an immediately understood…

The fall of those Quasi-Gods might have scared them, making them realize that in the face of beings like the Octopus, even “Undead Extraordinaries” might accidentally perish.

And his own fall, if it had happened a month ago, would have been the loss of a suspected “future Big Shot”, but now it was a loss they absolutely could not bear.

Lu Ping’an’s Clone informed him that the Courtyard over there was full every day.

Some ordinary people from all walks of life who were trustworthy had started spending points to become Extraordinary.

On the other hand, although Lu Ping’an had not successfully split the Beast God Divine Power to let these people directly become Fishman or other Beastification Men…

through the basic functionality of a Wish, one could still change their Life Form, after all, this power was already in Lu Ping’an’s “Reserve Vault.”

This meant that as long as the Holy Land on Lu Ping’an’s side was operating normally, every day countless individuals could become Extraordinaries, and a vast number of Extraordinaries, warriors, and soldiers could obtain “Water Combat Mastery.”

Although reducing lifespan was a significant cost…

given the current situation, living a few years less really didn’t account for much.

“…Even if I am now a strategic point, there’s no need for the Official channel to issue a warning directly to me.

Couldn’t this just have been said in private?

Isn’t this public communication going to shake the military’s morale?”

Lu Ping’an felt there was a hidden message in the words, but before he could guess anything, the answer revealed itself.

“…The Sakura Kingdom was attacked in a sneak attack?

Half of the Capital was lifted into the sky?”

This news left Lu Ping’an somewhat bewildered; his defense military region and Sakura Island were not in the same direction, and it was a bit late when he received the message.

Originally, all the temporary maritime military regions were stationed locally, waiting for the storm to hit, but it turned out the neighboring country was the one suffering?

“Should we send reinforcements?”

“It seems to be a volunteer army….

Uh, some are selected, but some of the personnel called are volunteering.”

Now, Lu Ping’an understood; it was a warning to him not to “volunteer to go abroad.”

What was happening now could be considered unexpected yet reasonable…

In the era when the Eastern Country was strong enough, naturally, the First Island Chain became their defensive line.

Especially since the Eastern Country’s coastal defense was one-way, numerous Quasi-Gods and armies were waiting there…

Attacking the front part of their territory at this time and gaining a forward outpost was crucial.

Moreover, the islands are surrounded by the sea on all sides, with a ridiculous length of coastline and numerous convenient ports for going ashore that are impossible to count, rendering it impossible to establish comprehensive defense.

Looking at the map, Lu Ping’an fell silent.

This time, the Eastern Country cannot be ignored.

It’s not because there is a particularly great relationship between the Eastern Country and Sakura Island at this time…

if the defense line of the Island Chain is breached, then the next to suffer would be the coastline of the Eastern Country.

If a battle to the death must be fought, naturally it is better not for it to occur on home turf.

Those high-level Extraordinaries going all out is not difficult to sink a few small islands; Sakura Island might not sink, but it is certain that Quasi-Gods will flatten a few cities.

“…This should be the enemy’s probing attack; we cannot let them have a forward base.”

Although the Octopus mostly consists of the Sea Tribe, other Races also contain many Terrestrial races, especially the Giant Soldier Race, this kind of war machine, also needs the terrestrial land as forward stations.

“…Sakura Island cannot be lost, not only that, but all those islands along the continental coastline cannot be abandoned; otherwise, it will be endless trouble.”

Such a simple strategic layout was understood by Lu Ping’an, let alone the military Decision-makers in the rear.

This time, the Eastern Country will not only stop watching the show but will also send a considerable force of reinforcements to beat back this probe…

“Sometimes, we don’t need to outrun the Beasts; we just have to run faster than our fellow companions…”

As time passed, now the ones struck by disaster are actual not just East Asia, Southeast Asia.

Further to the south, the Peninsula, as well as America across the ocean, have also seen the appearance of Sea Beasts and Fishmen.

Now, this has truly become a disaster for humanity…

and over in Huaqi, they are still accusing the Eastern Country of inaction in the international community every day after the big counterattack failed.

Although everyone knows this is nonsensical, it indeed incites quite a few irrational victims.

As a great power, perhaps it was also necessary to do something.

Lu Ping’an sighed; it seemed he could only watch from the rear…

Before some Decision-makers’ nerves calmed down or until a sufficient number of Extraordinary Professionals were born, perhaps he had to enjoy the treatment of a specially protected species.

But soon, he had a new job.

Perhaps it was the Eastern Country Official’s worry that he was too idle and actively looking for things to do or perhaps it was simply the plan list reaching the pre-agreed time; a large number of residents from Mercury 42 arrived.

The arrival of these battle-hardened Exotic Realm Warriors also meant that this temporary military region was no longer an empty shell and could finally start doing something.

And of course, Lu Ping’an saw many of his old acquaintances among them.
