Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1764 Countermeasures
A few days later, after resting, Dragon Prince Ao Ze led his sea tribe forces to attack the seas of the Great Zhou once again.

We are prepared to follow General Octopus's previous suggestion to destroy the enemy's ships and weaken their naval power.

When I got here, I was dumbfounded.

They discovered that there wasn't a single ship left in this area of ​​water!
This situation caught Prince Ao Ze completely off guard.

What the other party could think of, how could Bai Tu and Lin Youshu not think of?
Not to mention, they had already lost a warship to the enemy in the previous battle.

Under normal circumstances, it takes a considerable amount of time for a warship to go from having its hull breached to completely sinking.

If emergency measures are taken in time, and with the help of other ships in the vicinity, it might be possible to tow it back to port for rescue.

But the reality was that the situation was chaotic and the battle was fierce. By the time they came to their senses, the ship had already sunk more than halfway.

Given the circumstances at the time, no one could save it; they could only watch helplessly as the remaining parts of the ship sank completely to the bottom of the sea.

A steam-powered warship is expensive to build, not to mention the large amount of equipment on board.

After confirming the losses of the White Butcher after the war, and with no better solution in sight for dealing with the sea creature forces, they naturally wouldn't risk the remaining steam warships.

Therefore, recently, he directly ordered the sea to be closed, and all steam warships, and even fishing boats, sailed away from this sea area, while the troops withdrew to the coastal area.

If the sea creatures attack again and dare to land, they will meet them directly on the coast.

This is actually a good thing for their Great Zhou army.

After all, the most troublesome aspect of facing the sea tribe forces led by Ao Ze is that the enemy can dive into the sea. Once they dive in, most of the combat capabilities of the Great Zhou Navy will be restricted, or even rendered useless.

But things are different now.

If the other side wants to launch another offensive, they will have no choice but to land.

Once the enemy lands on the island to fight, the combat effectiveness of their Great Zhou troops can be fully utilized.

However, Bai Tu will not continue to implement this tactic indefinitely, nor is it possible for him to continue to implement it indefinitely.

Because tactics themselves can severely impact the internal development of the Barton Islands.

Fishing is a very important industry for the Barton Islands, and it could even be said to be the core industry of the Barton Islands.

The Barton Islands have always been unable to receive support from the mainland for development due to inconvenient transportation, and usually rely on internal industries to achieve self-sufficiency.

If fishing stops, major problems will arise within the archipelago, and many of the island's people will lose their livelihoods and become unable to survive.

On this basis, if the other party is patient enough to prolong the process, this approach would be tantamount to slow suicide for the Barton Islands.

In fact, because of this issue, Bai Tu has been under increasing pressure lately.

However, he had already decided that he would only maintain this state until Jabbar arrived.

Once Jabar, a water mage at the Saint Realm, arrives, they will have a certain means of dealing with the sea creature forces lurking in the sea.

The sea blockade will be lifted when the time comes, allowing the fleet under its command to resume daily patrols and the fishermen to resume their fishing work.

During this time, because the sea tribe forces led by Ao Ze remained submerged in the sea, the Great Zhou forces deployed in the coastal area had no idea whether they had actually arrived.

The best approach in this situation is to simply ignore it and let things unfold at their own pace. Constantly overthinking will only create unnecessary anxiety.

Beneath the sea, Ao Ze, who had already realized that the Great Zhou Navy had retreated to the island, looked grim.

At the same time, he glared fiercely at General Octopus.

"Look at your stupid idea!"

General Octopus, feeling wronged by the mistreatment, thought to himself... [You didn't object before, did you?]

Of course, he only dared to think it in his heart; he wouldn't dare to say it out loud, not even if he had the courage.

After rebuking General Octopus, Ao Ze ignored him and looked at the distant island, his expression uncertain.

He wasn't stupid; landing on the island to fight at this time would be tantamount to giving up their own advantages.

The previous battle had made him realize that the other side was not a weak force that he could easily crush. Once they landed on the island, the situation would be quite uncertain.

Thinking of this, Ao Ze's mood worsened, and he couldn't help but glare at General Octopus again.

Seeing that he was about to be blamed again, General Octopus weakly said...

“Those humans can’t stay cowering like this forever. We can wait and see.”

"..."

Ao Ze didn't say anything; at this point, it was clearly the only option.

Several more days passed, and the ship carrying Bolvin successfully docked at a port in the South China Sea...

At present, while overseas communication is not convenient, communication within the mainland is already quite convenient.

Basically, as soon as the message is sent to the port in the South China Sea, it can reach Zhou Xu's ears at the fastest speed.

At that time, Zhou Xu had just finished his morning work and was about to have lunch and rest for a while as usual before starting to study the mantra and improve his strength.

The urgent message from the Barton Islands undoubtedly disrupted his plans to some extent.

At the same time, Bai Tu's report also mentioned several words that he was slightly concerned about.

For example, the North Sea Dragon Clan...

The last time Zhou Xu heard this word was in the Dragon King Temple, from the projection of the old Dragon King.

He knew then that he had inherited someone else's legacy.

Judging from the current situation, it's obvious that the person in question has come knocking on our door.

Under this premise, the one in the lead, who claimed to be Ao Ze, the prince of the North Sea Dragon King, also sounded like a dragon.

He had been worried that Boraiven and his group would run into trouble when they faced the dragons.

When Zhou Xu first entered the Dragon King Temple and saw the projection of the old Dragon King, he actually had some thoughts.

The old Dragon King and the projection of the Dragon God he had seen were somewhat similar, but overall they were different. This made Zhou Xu suspect that although they were both called dragons, they might not be from the same system.

But then he discovered that the Dragon Language Mantra was actually universal, which made Zhou Xu a little unsure.

Now it is completely confirmed that the dragon's oppressive aura can also be effective on Boreven and his group.

Faced with Ao Ze's dragon might, the dragon-man and half-dragon-man troops led by Bolaiwen were completely unable to resist and were essentially rendered useless.

However, Zhou Xu could understand it. Both dragon people and lizard people were created by the gods, servants created by the dragon god to serve their dragon race.

If the servants you create can rebel against you, that would be absurd.

Given this context, it's fortunate that Bolavin and his team didn't switch sides on the spot.
