The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 175 begins again

The moment Kahn saw the submarine in front of him, he was really shocked. He thought to himself, "Are Soka and Tichen really that amazing? They designed a submarine with just the two of them."

Is Soka better suited for a research career?

However, once inside the submarine, he discovered that it wasn't as simple as he had imagined—or rather, it wasn't as difficult as he had thought.

"Using water manipulation techniques to submerge and navigate underwater—it's undeniably a brilliant idea!"

They excitedly introduced their achievements to everyone and praised Soka's creativity.

Soka, though somewhat smug, humbly replied:

"No, no, I just had an idea, and you helped me realize it."

"Don't be so modest, young man."

"However, there is still a problem I cannot solve: the limited oxygen inside the submarine prevents it from moving underwater for long periods of time, and it must surface to replenish oxygen every once in a while."

"If the oxygen problem can be solved, it will undoubtedly change the ecology of the marine battlefield!"

Ti Zhen was captivated by the future he envisioned, while Kahn, standing beside him, roughly understood the principles behind the submarine.

Although it looks very much like the submarine from his previous life, it is currently just a steel shell with no real power system. It can only be moved by the naval master using maneuvering techniques, which means it is driven by human power.

Of course, this was just a hasty effort to deal with the Fire Nation. If given some time, he might actually be able to build a real submarine. And Soka, who came up with the idea of ​​a submarine, is indeed a genius.

In fact, this is a standard practice in this world.

Even the Fire Nation's all-terrain tanks are like this. Although they are quite advanced in every aspect, their attack method is also the same: the fire masters inside use fire magic to attack. They are advanced but primitive.

After all, the art of maneuvering is indeed very convenient. If it weren't for the Fire Kingdom's own strong war needs leading to a shortage of manpower, they probably wouldn't have bothered to develop the technology.

Although it sounds cruel, war is indeed the best catalyst for technological development, no matter in any world.

Submarines weren't their only secret weapon, Ti Zhen continued explaining, and Kahn then saw another product combining science and metaphysics—

Torpedo missiles.

Although it's called a torpedo missile, it's actually just a simple bomb. When using it, the naval master needs to wrap the bomb in ice first, and then control the attack by the naval master. It can even be precisely guided.

It's a little outrageous.

Finally, there are long, heavy tanks resembling pill bugs, made of steel and stone, which also have no power source and require manual operation by earthworkers.

However, due to its large and heavy size, it is difficult to damage with ordinary arrows and fire-resistant techniques, making it an important assault vehicle in amphibious operations.

It must be said that although everything looks very simple, Soka and Tizhen are indeed genius inventors for being able to make full use of the characteristics of their own personnel and design such a set of equipment in a short period of time in response to the attacks of the Fire Nation.

"This is absolutely fantastic!"

"Incredible!"

"Soká, you're a genius!"

"Creator Soka!!"

Anang, Tofu, and the others cheered excitedly, showering each other with praise. Kahn also clapped, making Soka feel a little uncomfortable.

In any case, with this secret weapon, their chances of success have undoubtedly increased significantly.

After coming out of the secret weapons exhibition, they saw Hakuda, Parry, and General Hao huddled together, discussing the leadership of the project.

The three of them are all leaders of their respective teams, but if they continue to act independently in the following actions, then this gathering will be meaningless, or even tantamount to suicide. Therefore, there is no doubt that they need a unified leader.

Hakuda was the first to relinquish leadership because his team was smaller and weaker than the other two's elite teams of fifty men, and he believed that he might not be able to command respect if he took command.

To his surprise, neither Parry nor General Hao intended to vie for leadership; instead, they both recommended him.

Parry said:

"Although my soldiers are all elite, objectively speaking, we don't have much experience fighting against the Fire Nation, so I'll pass."

General Hao said:

"Neither my soldiers nor I are skilled in naval warfare, so I'll have to trouble you with this operation."

"Oh well."

Hakuda didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement without hesitation, then continued:

"Then let's hold a war council meeting first."

As he spoke, he turned and called out to Soka:

"Sokka, come help!"

"They're here!"

After gathering everyone, Soka carried a stack of blueprints and pasted them on the display board. Then he stood behind Hakuda, who gave a loud speech:

"We have all gathered here for the same purpose: to defeat the Flame King and restore peace! I salute the courage and determination of everyone present!"

"Without further ado, let me explain the overall battle plan."

"The first phase of the entire plan was for the main force of the Turkish Empire to launch a counterattack against the Fire Nation to draw the attention of the enemy's main force, and this has already yielded results."

"The second phase of the plan is our action, which is divided into three steps:"

"The first step, with the cover of the main force, is to advance from the flank, bypass the Fire Nation's fleet, and reach the bay of the Fire Nation's capital. The estimated arrival time is 5:00 AM three days later, which will coincide with the solar eclipse at noon that day."

Logically, the main force of the Fire Nation should have been drawn away by the main force led by Elo and others, so there shouldn't be any Fire Nation fleets on the route they chose, but they still had to be careful.

In principle, exposure and conflict should be avoided, but if discovered, the enemy must be annihilated as soon as possible, and their actions should not be exposed.

"The second step is to break through the bay's barrier and venture inland. The most important obstacle is the Gate of Azulong, where we will use our secret weapon, which Soka will explain in detail later."

The Azura Dragon Gate is a massive barrier built by the previous emperor to prevent the invasion of other nations' fleets, and it is also the first line of defense for the Fire Nation.

The operational principle here is also to avoid conflict and close combat, and to pass through as stealthily and quickly as possible. The submarines designed by Soka and Tizen are meant to play a role here.

"The third step is the landing operation, the main objective of which is to escort the Superpower Squad into the palace area and hold out until they defeat the Fire King."

Once ashore, it was a pure assault, but their goal was not to defeat the enemy, but to break through. They had to escort the Superpower Squad into the palace before noon.

The members of the supernatural team mentioned this time also include Terry and May, who are familiar with the layout of the palace and are indispensable members.

"That concludes our mission."

"Next, Soka will give you a detailed explanation of the weapons and vehicles that will be used in this operation."

As Hakuda explained, the atmosphere of battle slowly unfolded. Everyone had a serious expression, because they all knew that this might be their last battle.

Kahn took a deep breath, feeling as if he had returned to the night before the operation against Aozai.

The final battle has begun.
