Chapter 1281 – Lamu Warship

The Darkness empire not interfering in the war of Java did not mean that it was not going to start any waves.

1st month, 15th day, just as the war of Java was hotly underway, the Darkness empire sent out 150 thousand troops to attack Hawaii.

This was the battle that announced the Darkness Empire Navy to the world.

The Mu Continent was vast and huge, and the biggest lake in it – the Lamu Lake – was as big as Caspian City. The lake housed the strongest squadron of the Darkness empire – the Darkness Squadron.

Their warships were not the man o’ war series or the iron armored warships. Instead, it was a combination of the Mu Empire’s greatest technologies; it was a completely new type of warship.

These warships were not big, but their firepower was comparable to the iron armored warships.

As they say, how can one sleep soundly beside a wall that is about to collapse? Considering how fearful the Darkness empire was of Great Xia, they had all the more reason to not allow Hawaii to remain occupied by Great Xia.

“To take down Hawaii, we will stop at nothing.” Darkness Empire emperor Keisuke Honda said.

News had it that the 150 thousand were only their vanguard forces. To take down Hawaii, they were planning to throw in a million troops, “We will suck them dry.”

Facing such circumstances, the Cabinet suggested that they directly give up on Hawaii Prefecture.

Ouyang Shuo had other ideas. First, he asked the civilians of Hawaii to teleport away using the teleportation formation. After that, he ordered the 1st legion of the Tiger legion corps as well as the Pacific Squadron to engage the enemy immediately.

He wanted to test out the strength of the Darkness empire.

The intel that the Black Snake Guards had obtained so far was merely the surface. As for their actual strength, only by engaging them on the battlefield could Ouyang Shuo gauge it.

Since this was the case, this battle had to be fought.

Moreover, Ouyang Shuo was already annoyed about giving up Morocco, and he could not forgive himself for that. As such, he could not easily give up on Hawaii; if he did, how would the civilians of Great Xia look at their Imperial Court?

How would the world look at Great Xia?

Hence, not only did they have to fight this war, but they also had to fight it well.

They could not fight a long, drawn-out battle. Moreover, they had to make it painful for those fellows and make these failure realize that, “Your father is still your father!”

Do not think that you are invincible just because all of you are sticking together.

It was under such circumstances that the war of Hawaii broke out, shocking the entire Pacific Ocean. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

…

1st month, 16th day, the navy squadrons of both sides engaged on the ocean.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions of the Darkness Squadron exited the Lamu Lake and entered the Pacific Ocean, going up north of the shoreline of the Mu Continent to attack Hawaii Prefecture.

Leading the way was a navy general of the Federation, Ichiro Eguchi.

At the same time, he was also the Fleet Admiral of the Darkness Squadron. He held an important position in supporting the power of the Japanese in the Darkness empire.

After the destruction of their countries, the historical people of each country had no more ties with them.

In the current Darkness empire, be it in terms of military or Imperial Court, the ones holding the important positions were all players. It was a new dynasty model in the game world.

As for the Mu Continent natives?

Since they had taken the players in as slaves before, this debt was naturally paid back to them. Now, the natives had become slaves.

The Darkness empire had created another world’s first, becoming the first dynasty in the game to openly raise slaves.

In the entire trial lands, there were over 300 million players. Even without natives, they had enough to support the Darkness empire. All the combat occupation players were drafted into the army.

The 4th and 5th divisions of the Darkness Squadron went down south, trying to make a loop to get to the north of Hawaii to pincer Hawaii Prefecture.

Who would have expected that the 2nd and 3rd division of the Pacific Ocean Squadron were not prepared to simply defend? After the war began, they used their familiarity with the geography to directly go down south.

The two squadrons bumped into one another in the ocean region near the Mu Continent.

The Darkness empire had the black technology Lamu Warships. However, the Great Xia Army was not weak, especially the heavily focused Pacific Ocean Squadron. Its flagships were already iron armored warships. Along with the magic powered submarines and the fighter jets, their might was comparable to modern navies.

With the equipment development speed of the Great Xia navy, the first aircraft carrier squadron in the world would definitely belong to Great Xia. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

As the highest technological work of the Mu Civilization, the Lamu warships were truly amazing. Right away, they stunned the Pacific Squadron Fleet Admiral Shi Lang by spotting the magic powered submarines.

Truly skilled.

Before this, the magic powered submarines had used their cloaking ability and super strong ranged attacks to become one of the trump cards of the Great Xia navy. In every naval war, they had done well and were pretty much invincible.

This time, the magic powered submarines were countered.

The radar system of the Lamu warships immediately revealed the magic powered submarines.

On the flagship, The Darkness, Ichiro Eguchi’s face revealed a revengeful smile upon noticing the enemy submarines. His eyes were filled with reminisce.

During the Battle of Japan, he was one of the main generals of the Japanese Squadron. Under the attacks of the Great Xia magic powered submarines, the Japanese Squadron was crushed.

Ichiro Eguchi had also died in that battle, and he deemed it as the humiliation of his life.

Two and a half years had passed since then. Now, he had finally returned from hell.

“Now, it’s time to pay back an eye for an eye!” Ichiro Eguchi’s eyes shone with excitement.

This loss at the start did not shake Shi Lang’s confidence. He immediately ordered the squadron to fight the enemy head on. Both sides’ cannons fired at one another, causing huge waves on the ocean surface.

Through this engagement, Shi Lang’s heart sank once more.

He noticed that apart from the iron armored warships, the Z1 Type Warships were at a disadvantage it terms of both personal defense and firepower.

Only the iron armored warships could face up against them.

Thinking about it, this was quite normal. The mimicry flying devices Great Xia received from Atlantis and the magic powered submarines from Lemuria were both support items.

The true core of the navy were the warships themselves.

Moreover, the best black technology of the Mu Continent was the Lamu warship. Naturally, they would suppress the Great Xia navy.

The strength of the main warships basically decided the strength of a squadron.

Luckily, Gaia had already unlocked the second industrial revolution technology tree, and the iron armored warships had ascended onto the stage. If not, the Lamu warships would be invincible.

If they had appeared two years ago, they could even challenge Great Xia’s ocean supremacy.

When Ichiro saw this situation, his smile grew thicker as he said, “As expected, the warships did not let me down. Those natives have some ability.”

Toward the ability of the Lamu warships, Ichiro could not be any more delighted.

Thinking back to the new Lamu Warships docked at Lamu Lake, he could not help but jump in joy. Those warships were the foundations of the Mu empire, and they were now all theirs.

After suffering these series of setbacks, Shi Lang’s face turned serious. He was rather sure about the meaning of this battle. If he failed here, he would not be able to answer to the Imperial Court.

“Send my orders, all fighter jets get ready and engage in a suicidal explosion.” Shi Lang was expressionless.

“Yes!”

The messenger general’s face became solemn. He bowed, turned around, and left.

With the Lamu Warship’s firepower net, if the first generation fighter jets used conventional tactics, there was a high chance they would be wiped out by the cannons.

With only a limited number of fighter jets, Shi Lang did not leave himself a way out.

“We have no way out!”

During this battle, the Pacific Squadron had to protect the glory of the Great Xia navy. If they failed in this battle, not only would the Pacific Squadron be affected, but it would even shake the Empire’s ocean authority.

The chain reaction that would follow because of this was something that Shi Lang did not dare to think about.

10 minutes later, 40 first generation fighter jets took off from the deck. All the pilots had determined faces.
