As Lin Zhan worried about the future of Huaxia, several giant fleets had already approached the islands of Fusang, and one fleet had detached from the main force and headed towards Osaka.
It was Lin Shanhe and Zhang Zhen who led the first wave of Huaxia's army.
In the main ship's conference room, Lin Shanhe and Zhang Zhen, along with a group of staff officers, began issuing orders to their subordinates through video communicators.
"After landing, all units of the Capital Garrison, occupy strategic points along the way, and take over the complete defense of Tokyo City. Any resisters will be shot on sight. The headquarters will be set up at Apple Mountain in Tokyo."
"Zhenlei Legion, rush to Apple Mountain at full speed, set up defenses, and await orders."
After Lin Shanhe issued two important orders, the fleet began to anchor one after another, and various small landing crafts and transport ships carried troops towards the shore.
The members of the He, Wang, and Zhang families, who had been waiting on shore for a long time, immediately connected with the commanding officers of the troops. The special operations brigade under the Zhenlei Legion also began to set up defenses on the spot.
Under the leadership of their respective officers, the troops of the Capital Garrison, guided by the three families, began to march towards Tokyo City. After the Zhenlei Legion completed its integration and left the special operations brigade to defend the area, it also marched towards Apple Mountain in a mighty rush.
Just as the Huaxia troops were docking and landing, Lin Hai received a paging call on his communicator. After immediately informing Di Xin, he, along with more than ten quasi-kings, soared into the sky to meet the troops.
By evening, the Zhenlei Legion, led by Zhang Zhen, had fully taken over the defense of Apple Mountain, and the military command center had been established. At the same time, the Capital Garrison troops had also implemented complete control over Tokyo City.
Inside the military command center, Di Xin, the Old Celestial Master, Liu Che, Liu Xiu, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and a group of old quasi-kings, along with the military staff led by Lin Shanhe and Zhang Zhen, began to discuss the military operations against the Bone Demon and Ghost races for the next day.
Lin Zhan and the members of the Huaxia combat team also attended as observers.
Lin Shanhe looked at the electronic sand table and said, "He Kuang has led the entire army of the Guandong Garrison to Osaka City, cleared out all rebel forces, and begun to take over the defense of the spatial rift."
"Our main problem is the shortage of personnel. This operation will involve combat in the Bone Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm. The biggest drawbacks for our human race are not being on home ground and the unknown geographical environment."
"Our advantages include having many high-level experts who can form an overwhelming advantage against the enemy's high-end forces, our multi-arm coordinated combat capabilities are very strong, and with the cooperation of a group of quasi-kings, we can cause widespread casualties to the enemy's effective forces at the first moment of military conflict."
The people present, especially the few kings, had fought wars their entire lives, and had participated in countless battles, both individual duels and military conflicts. However, a war of extermination of this magnitude was very appealing to the young generation like Lin Zhan.
Di Xin saw that Lin Zhan and the others were deep in thought and said, "You young ones, come and share your thoughts. This is also a rare opportunity for training."
When it came to military operations, among Lin Zhan and his group, only the strategist Jiang Zheng had the most say. "Esteemed ancestors, are there any reasons that restrict you from directly suppressing these two realms?"
"That's right. Because we are the invaders, any attack on ordinary troops or civilians would damage our race's destiny. Of course, if it were in the human realm, we could act without reservation, and it would be the same for the other side. The main purpose of launching this war is to restore the destiny of the human race, so we still have to rely on the troops to conduct conventional warfare." Di Xin nodded.
Lin Zhan stood up and continued, "Then let it be king against king, and general against general. The esteemed ancestors should first eliminate the opposing kings, and the rest will be handled by the esteemed quasi-king grandfathers and a few generals, splitting into three routes to launch a war against the entire Bone Demon tribe. At the latest, the second wave of troops led by my maternal grandfather should also arrive tomorrow evening, and then we will launch a full-scale offensive."
Jiang Zheng also nodded and said, "I agree with Old Lin, but it's better to split into two routes. One route will be led by the esteemed ancestor Wei Qing and Uncle Zhang, Uncle Lin, along with the Feathered Forest Army and the Zhenlei Legion, mainly targeting the main forces of the Bone Demon tribe. Let's gnaw through these tough bones first."
"The other route can be led by the esteemed ancestor Huo Qubing with the Cavalry Army, directly penetrating the rear and striking directly at the enemy's headquarters. This is also Old Ancestor Qubing's specialty."
Huo Qubing, dressed in armor, looked at Jiang Zheng and chuckled, "This kid suits my taste. This time I'll lead him to penetrate the rear, and also teach this young fellow a good lesson."
Di Xin nodded and said, "Then it's settled. Tomorrow, please ask the Old Celestial Master to seal the spatial rift of the Ghost race, and then ask the Old Celestial Master to stay and guard to buy us three days' time."
"Da Zhen, you and Shanhe, along with the staff, will make detailed operational plans for tomorrow. Let the formation masters stabilize the spatial gate overnight to ensure the army's safe passage through the spatial rift. The general offensive will begin at 6 AM tomorrow. Everyone else will carry out their duties. The quasi-kings will be integrated into the legions and will intercept enemy powerhouses immediately during combat."
"Yes." Everyone acknowledged the orders.
As Lin Zhan returned to his tent, the voice of the Black Dragon King came to his mind: "Kid, don't speak, communicate with me mentally. I have already found the hiding place of Yamata no Orochi, which is in Yagari. This guy is also observing your actions."
"Then, esteemed ancestor, can this guy come out and cause trouble? What if he opens the spatial rift of the Ghost race again, and we'll be attacked from both sides?"
The Black Dragon King said indifferently, "That's not a problem. This kid from the Celestial Master's Mansion is extraordinary. Looking at his bloodline, he is a direct descendant of the first generation Celestial Master. At a critical moment, he can even trick his ancestor into descending with his true spirit. You can go and tell him that after entering the Bone Demon Realm to fight this time, you must kill more direct descendants of the Bone Demon Kings. This will increase the recognition of human destiny for you."
"I understand, my ancestor. My grandfather died at the hands of a king of the Bone Demon race. This time, it can be considered blood for blood," Lin Zhan said with overflowing killing intent.
"That's good. When we return to cleanse Fusang, gather the traitors and behead them all. First, to comfort the wronged souls of the human race, and second, to lure out Yamata no Orochi, so I can open Yagari along its fluctuations. This damn thing is too good at running away, and disappears without a trace if you're not careful. Go to the Celestial Master's Mansion and arrange things first," the Black Dragon King said before disappearing into concealment.
Lin Zhan walked out of the tent and came to the residence of the Old Celestial Master. He saw the young Taoist Zhang Haoming walking out of a tent. "Haoming, why are you wandering around instead of resting? You have to fight tomorrow."
"Brother, my ancestor gave me some life-saving items. I'll take you to find my ancestor."
Lin Zhan told the Old Celestial Master that he could ask for the primordial spirit of the first generation Celestial Master when sealing the spatial rift tomorrow.
Looking at Lin Zhan's eyes, the Old Celestial Master nodded, knowing that this mischievous kid was going to plot against another unlucky fellow.
