Controlling them with religious faith and establishing divine right to rule could last for 100 years.

Once the kingdom citizens fully adapted, the thoughts of the ruling powers above would no longer matter.

The empire would not carry out massive slaughter of kingdom citizens, but eliminating tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of nobles would be effortless for the empire.

However, it was still too early to discuss these things now.

They had just begun fighting and had not even taken down a few border cities.

It was uncertain how long it would take to conquer the entire 100 kingdoms alliance.

conservatively estimating it would take at least 30 years and if the war did not go smoothly it could easily take a hundred years without even opening up the situation.

It was indeed too early to start thinking about arranging them.

While the full-scale offensive was underway here, other places also began to move.

The vast territory extended the border lines for both sides which provided convenience for the Empire's attack.

In addition to ground assaults, the Empire also launched naval attacks.

Over the years, the Empire had been expanding its territory and had finally reached another coastline, thus developing its own navy.

Although, purely from the perspective of the Empire's main forces, their strength was somewhat lacking.

After all, the development time was too short, and the navy was a branch of service that required a lot of time to mature.

Additionally, the sea was not their strong suit.

So, it was normal that their strength was not very formidable.

But if we include the affiliated sea tribes, then the Empire's navy can no longer be considered weak.

In fact, it could be said to be very powerful, not inferior to some sea players who specialize in naval combat.

Over the years, the development speed of the affiliated sea tribes has been astonishingly fast, and recently they even established the Naga Kingdom, accepting the empire's coronation.

The population of the main tribe has reached tens of millions with dark merman also nearing 30 million while other subordinate sea tribes have long surpassed 100 million.

Compared to the fiercely competitive mainland, the competition in the sea is quite complex both high and low.

Why do I say this? The high part is because there are sea tribes everywhere.

Wherever life can thrive, you can see the presence of sea tribes.

The low part is because most of them are still in the tribal era with relatively primitive weapons, equipment, and social systems reflecting a lower level of civilization.

As long as you cross the threshold of tribalism and develop steadily for a while, you can basically crush 95 of the sea tribes.

On the mainland, the level of civilization is too high.

They are all tough opponents and very difficult to fight.

Just think about how far Su Shing Yu's Eternal Knight Empire has developed.

Yet, there are still two forces that can contend with him, which is truly bizarre.

In the ocean, Naga and Mermin have no developmental restrictions and no worries about social systems.

They don't need to think too much.

As long as they ensure their kin have enough to eat in this situation, their development speed is astonishingly fast, and the number of their kin is rapidly increasing.

On several small islands close to the northern sea, several large fleets are stationed belonging to the Hunter Nations Alliance.

Their task is to blockade the maritime routes of the Eternal Knight Empire compared to the Eternal Knight Empire.

The Hunter Nations Alliance has existed for a longer time and has had more exposure to the sea and in addition they have to face the blood empire across the sea for many years.

So they are much stronger in naval fleet construction than the eternal knight empire with their fleet strength.

Blocking the Empire's navy which has not shown its fangs is completely effortless.

How boring.

Working here is really dull.

There is nothing at all.

The only fun is watching the natives fight.

A naval soldier stretched and yawned, feeling quite frustrated.

You're not going to look for those natives to play again, are you? You're quite something.

Those guys have a strong odor and you can still tolerate it.

Another naval soldier glanced at him, speaking with admiration.

Sigh.

Don't mention it.

If it weren't for the lack of options, who want to do this? The soldier sighed, feeling a sense of regret about the past.

Those ladies from the kingdom are so much better, pretty and gentle.

The people here look stronger than me, and their voices sound like wild boars squealing.

Be careful.

If the captain catches you, you'll be in trouble.

Another soldier chuckled.

Relax, relax.

The Captain OneT care about such trivial matters.

We're already exiled here.

What is wrong with us finding some fun? Exactly.

We V been exiled here, so what is wrong with having a bit of fun? It doesn't tea affect our mission.

Just thinking about how long we have to stay here makes my head hurt.

I don't even know how things are back home.

Why get back? I'm definitely going to enjoy myself.

A group of naval soldiers gathered around a table, enthusiastically discussing which area has the best native women, which place has the tastiest food, and when they can return home.

The sea is vast and boundless, yet also monotonous.

While sailing on the ocean, apart from the sea and sky, there is hardly anything else to see.

Compared to aimless sailing, being stationed on these few small islands is actually quite good.

At least they can freely bathe and enjoy the local cuisine.

The only downside is that they have been here a bit too long.

3 years.

A fleet often has to stay here for 3 years before returning to the kingdom for rest and to rotate in another fleet.

3 years.

Such a long time.

Just thinking about it feels desparing.

While they were chatting, a sudden explosion echoed.

Boom.

The flames instantly illuminated everything before them.

And in the next moment, they lost consciousness in the purifying fire.

On the sea's surface, several large fleets slowly approached, firing terrifying energy cannons that stre across the sky, creating dazzling arcs as they came.

The scale of the fleet was shocking.

Each warship resembled a moving fortress of war, massive and powerful enemy attack.

In an instant, panicked cries spread throughout the entire port area, and all Alliance soldiers, regardless of what they were doing, immediately stopped their work, grabbed their weapons, and instantly entered combat mode.

Energy shields rose, and beams of light shot up into the sky, illuminating the waters near the small island.

Cannons mounted on the shore began to retaliate.

Boom, boom, boom.

Damn it.

What are the scouts doing? The enemy fleet is already at our doorstep and they didn't te detect anything.

A naval commander shouted angrily as he watched the incoming energy cannons.

The entire port area was thrown into chaos.

No one expected to be attacked at this moment.

This was very unreasonable.

It was te that they thought the eternal knight empire wouldn't tea attack them.

It was because they had set up defensive lines.

Yet now the early warning line had sent no messages and the enemy fleet was already at their doorstep.

Filled with confusion and anger, the most important thing now was to defend the port and then counterattack.

However, it was not that simple.

Roar.

A massive figure as huge as a mountain burst through the surface of the sea, smashing through the energy shield and exhaling a thick cloud of poisonous mist that instantly enveloped the entire ship.

The naval soldiers on the deck didn't he even have time to react before they fell unconscious.

At the same time, countless tall, scaly black figures leaped out, landing on the beach and charging toward the gunners with terrifying speed.

Chapter 172.

The chaotic sea clan, the three great nations of the North fire.
