God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Having experienced numerous wars, Cecilielian was very clear about the various conditions and factors that influenced warfare. Therefore, for this expedition, he specifically chose a battlefield that would be least affected by war.

This can be considered the largest expedition the Kushan Empire ever launched on the seas, and it may very well be Cecissian's last expedition.

With similar thoughts and will, Cecislian made thorough preparations from the very beginning.

This is also why Cecilielian was able to remain calm in the face of the battle reports coming from the Strait of Malacca.

Regardless of whether the Strait of Malacca was won or lost, or whether it fell into the hands of the Kushan Empire, this matter, which seemed extremely serious to others, was of no importance to Cecissian.

As long as the strategic objectives can be achieved, no matter what the Strait of Malacca becomes, there will be enough time to start over.

Destroying the Han Empire's shipyards and main naval forces would ensure that, even without the Han Empire's presence, the Kushan Empire, with its naval superiority, would not have to worry about the Han Empire's threat at sea for at least twenty years.

As for the world twenty years from now, that's something he can't predict.

If all goes well, the Han Empire, having suffered heavy losses, and with the continued harassment and suppression from the Kushan navy, might not be able to develop a navy for over a hundred years.

At that point, it will no longer be just about defense; the war between the Kushan Empire and the Han Empire will see a shift in the balance of power.

If this can be achieved, then the dream of the Yuezhi people and the long-cherished wish of the nation will have the possibility of being fulfilled.

“Commander Cecissarian, there is indeed nothing wrong with what our army is doing, but your health…” Capil, who was still standing in place, looked at Cecissarian’s actions and asked with concern.

However, before he could finish his words of concern, Kapil saw Cecilian's sharp eyes, eyes that were completely unlike those of an elderly person.

Under that gaze, Kapil suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was not only his grandfather, but also the creator of the Kushan Empire's navy, a true invincible man at sea.

"I understand. I'll go and relay the order to instruct the troops to accelerate their advance northward." Kapil, who had changed his tune immediately, turned and left quickly after speaking, no longer wanting to meet Cecislian's gaze or feel that terrifying pressure.

"Sigh!" Cecissian sighed as he watched Capil leave quickly.

If they don't even have the courage to withstand your own gaze and pressure, can they really shoulder the responsibility of the future navy?
Obviously, the possibility is very low.

Unless he completely cripples the Han Empire beforehand, crippling it to the point that Kapil doesn't feel the pressure and can still exert his full strength to continue refining subsequent arrangements and plans.

Otherwise, if Kapil feels pressured, his performance will only get worse and worse, and it will become increasingly difficult for him to face opponents. He will feel more and more pressure, and his performance will become lower and lower, leading to a vicious cycle.

Even with such a fatal flaw, Cecissian had no choice but to choose Capil under these circumstances, because he had no other options.

If only there were other options, but unfortunately, such options simply don't exist for the vast Ceci family. A naval admiral has the power to decide the life or death of a naval force; an incompetent person will only lead the navy to its demise.

The unique nature of naval warfare dictates that the strong will remain strong and the weak will remain weak; decades of effort are merely a matter of a fleeting moment.

However, it was precisely this unique form of warfare that enabled him, despite his advanced age, to wipe out the elite troops of the Han Empire.

If it were on land, even if their numbers were twice as many, they might not be able to win against the Han Empire's army, let alone fight with the intention of annihilating the enemy.

“If this mission succeeds, then there is still hope for the Empire.” Cecissian slowly walked out of the cabin and onto the deck, looking at the boundless sea and the densely packed naval fleet around him, his tone softening.

Having already executed his orders, Capil had communicated with all ships to accelerate, ignoring the interference from the Han Empire fleet, and reach their destination as quickly as possible.

Capil's face immediately darkened when he turned back to look at Cecissian, who had also come up to the deck.

Normally speaking, it is quite normal for a fleet commander to be on the deck. In fact, to some extent, it would be abnormal for a commander not to wander around on the deck.

But that only applies to other generals, not Cecisarian.

As Cecissarian's grandson who often took care of him, Capil was well aware of Cecissarian's physical condition.

Even when he was on a ship, Cecissian's body was affected by the ship's influence.

To prevent the ships from further impacting Cecisarian, Capil even used secret techniques to stabilize the ships made from Cecisarian on the water, greatly reducing the possibility of the ships swaying.

Of course, the price to pay for doing this is that this secret technique will continuously consume the stored cloud energy, but this cloud energy is incomparable to Cecissian's body.

The fact that Capil was able to go to such lengths to ensure Cecissian's good physical condition also demonstrates Cecissian's physical fragility.

The Kushan Empire, with its numerous secret techniques and life-extending methods, had no way to save or restore Cecissarian, who was old and suffering from many hidden injuries.

Those visible recovery methods and treatments are simply not suitable for Cecilia.

In this physical state, to still carry out high-intensity warfare means that every minute and every second is a struggle against death, until the end of life.

"Here we go again. The Han Empire's harassment tactics are truly nothing new." Gazing at the rainbow on the horizon, the visible flashes of light appeared. Without hesitation, Kapil drew away the clouds surrounding the ships to form a barrier in front of the fleet, preventing these ships from causing further damage.

In any case, before reaching the main battlefield, Kapil's orders were to lead the entire fleet to the designated position with the least possible casualties and to prepare for all possible actions.

Throughout this process, Cecilielian did not intervene in actual command, but simply waited silently aboard the ship. (End of Chapter)
