Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2162 - 666: Birth of the Crown Prince (Part 4)
Perhaps the future of the Aegean cannot escape this fate either?
**
A mere pair of twin brothers pulled the strings of the entire world, as the two Dragon Cities, major human nations, the Dubin Kingdom, the Kingdom of Bonaparte Medusa, the Tang Zang Empire, and even the ever-mysterious Phoenix City on the Aegean Continent all dispatched embassy missions equivalent to a pilgrimage to present their sincerest blessings to the most powerful mage and shaman in the history of Aegean, His Majesty the Flower King of the Thousand Beauty Cups.
The Saint Paul Church, Bimon Temple, and Church of the Snow Goddess almost had a falling out over the right to baptize these babies.
Even the Sea Clan sent envoys to negotiate with the human troops stationed in the Forgotten Valley, proposing that both sides hold a ceasefire temporarily out of respect for the Aegean’s greatest mage, who had just become a father.
Such a grand event, the winged emerald prince’s birth ceremony that halted the world and took place in a glorious ceremony, made every Bimon proud—they had every right to be proud, for even in the era of the Bimon Empire, such a grand gathering of nations had never occurred!
This period of temporary warfare truce allowed Liu Shockwave to quietly accompany his beloved wife and child, enjoying the first moment of tranquility he had since arriving in Aegean.
The only one not idle during this period might have been Rommel. As the Sea Clan ceased attacks and humans and Bimon sheathed their swords, with no word from the Demon Clan, while the three Sea Clans of the Demon World and Abyssal Realm natives busied themselves, Rommel borrowed the air force and Taibao Corps, Punisher Corps from Emerald, turning his sights on the two Mulan armies.
Each of these two Mulan armies consisted of fifty thousand troops, one marching to the northwest towards the Cambridge Oasis, and the other advancing on land towards the eastern foothills of the snow mountain, both aiming to fell trees in the forests, contributing to the Hai Mu Army’s siege equipment.
From the way the war has escalated to its current state, it’s evident that the Mulanese are actually the unluckiest victims on the Aegean Battlefield.
They should not have rashly teamed up with such a behemoth as the Sea Clan, for when a fox partners with a tiger to hunt, in the end, the fox may become the tiger’s snack!
By now, either Liu Shockwave had killed the Mulan’s high-end power like the Sand Lizard Knights and the top Imams, or a teleportation array mine took care of them, leaving the Mulan army with a hundred thousand troops but no real masters to lead them, reliant entirely on the charity of the Sea Clan for food supply—stuck, unable to move forward or retreat—the Sea Clan certainly wouldn’t care for such mediocre allies, as they could mobilize a million troops with slightly reserved activation underwater themselves.
Thus, as the war progresses, Mulan soldiers inevitably fall into the role of laborers for the Sea Clan; unable to bite the hand that feeds, they must accept any dangerous tasks assigned by the Sea Clan hierarchy because their supply is tightly controlled.
"A man under a low eave can’t help but bow his head" has become an apt description of the Mulan warriors who once ruled the Taklamago Desert.
That’s not the only bitter struggle; the logging teams have always been the primary targets of the Bimon air force’s attacks. Yet, not only did the Sea Clan headquarters fail to send storm sorcerers to strengthen the logging team’s air defenses, but they also prepared to retract the few Mulan Imams they had later. This left the naturally fierce Mulan Mojies feeling incredibly angered and humiliated.
If not for the Sea Clan executives noticing the Mulan warriors’ growing unrest and offering the option for all Imams to choose whether to stay at the base camp or join the logging team, the Mulan warriors might have taught their Sea Clan allies a thing or two about knife skills.
Rommel could easily deduce the underlying issues from the reduced air defense capabilities of the logging teams; encountering such a change accelerated the cessation of air attacks, adjusted their plans, and initiated direct contact with the leaders of the Mulan troops.
Four days later, Rommel approached Liu Shockwave for assistance in quickly using the magic teleportation array to move himself and his hodgepodge troops to the area occupied by the Sea Clan in Eastern Aegean.
"You resolved the Mulan soldiers so quickly?" Liu Shockwave was genuinely surprised. It’s only been a few days! It seems I had underestimated Rommel’s influence in the Desert World and his standing among the Mulan soldiers—although anyone with insight could see the Mulan army’s recent perilous position, any ally without a strong backing traditionally falls synonymous with cannon fodder. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"I won’t let you help me in vain. Remember I mentioned before that I found a good territory in Eastern Aegean with large underground coal reserves?" Rommel was well aware of how to quickly enhance the efficiency of the person in front of him: "I can write you an IOU right away. As long as you transfer us quickly, I shall start to deliver a large batch of Charcoal Sprite Bombs to you in the future!"
"I appreciate your courtesy." Old Liu’s eyes lit up: "Don’t worry about being polite. If you want to modify Phantom Beasts or purchase Totem Pillars of War Songs in the future, feel free to exchange aerial bombs with me at an 80% rate—we’re like family!"
"Naturally, I’ll naturally rely on your support in the future!" Rommel seemed to expect this reaction from him: "If I may, can you also lend me some personnel since it involves guerrilla operations behind enemy lines?"
