Chapter 489: Chapter 489: The Second Wave Arrives at the Battlefield

"It seems that all those previous gains cannot be kept," Fang Jie sighed helplessly.

The spoils he had acquired earlier were supposed to compensate for the resources he had used up in advance enough. But now, it still had to be utilized first.

These catapults were a bit too expensive, but it was essential to deploy them on a large scale.

The price of a catapult was higher than that of a Mage. Although it seemed that the Mage had more freedom and stronger combat power, forming combat capabilities with Mages took time and training.

Moreover, Mages varied in aptitude, and it was uncertain whether they could reach such heights.

The Elemental Catapult indeed had its shortcomings, but its advantages were equally clear. The speed at which Elemental Power condensed was fast, its attack range was long, and once organized on a large scale, it could form an artillery squad.

Furthermore, the Elemental Catapult was very portable and foldable, allowing for quick redeployment.

Even if encountering special terrains, soldiers could carry it on their backs without any issues.

With so many advantages, Fang Jie, of course, planned to produce a batch for use.

There were also the Griffin Knights, quite similar to those trained on Kapala Island. Fang Jie had always used the formidable power of air forces to suppress the opponents, a very convenient method.

But this time, the aerial advantage was surprisingly held by the enemy, and Fang Jie himself was at a disadvantage.

No, it would be more accurate to say he entirely lacked air forces on his side. Even though he had already taken the Coastal areas, the Griffin Knights continued to harass him relentlessly, exhausting his responses.

Otherwise, his gains would definitely have been higher.

Fang Jie had had enough of this vulnerability in air forces. Had it not been for the enemy’s lack of a large-scale Golden-tier air force, this battle could have ended in a series of humiliating defeats for him.

Therefore, Fang Jie needed to create an air force as soon as possible to contain the enemy.

None of these Griffin Knights had yet reached the Gold level, but the enemy also didn’t possess many Gold-tier ones.

"Lord, the second batch of personnel has arrived, shall we begin the landing?"

"The second batch, the native troops, commence the landing. Logistics needs to be well-prepared, and their merits must be recorded. Lastly, maintain strict control; do not let them cause chaos."

"Hillciss, you go too. Though the troops have a commander, you are the future Lord here. If there are any issues in their command, you must intervene."

Hillciss quickly responded, "As you command, my Lord. I’m on my way."

It was finally his turn to take action. This was his Territory, and it was inappropriate to remain in the background any longer.

Even to nurture Legends, Hillciss couldn’t assume even a nominal command position. During this war, his presence had been quite understated; he needed to step forward and assert himself.

Fang Jie felt uneasy. Strictly speaking, this was the first time his regular troops were entering the battlefield.

But with the various problems inherent to regular troops, it was uncertain whether issues would arise.

The troops he created didn’t need rewards; providing food was sufficient. Fang Jie had always been granting a military salary beyond food to maintain their loyalty, but not in any significant amount.

As for wartime rewards, those were reserved for the Elite and Heroes, not for regular troops.

Had it not been for this approach, a significant portion of his earlier spoils would have been distributed.

But the natives were different; their arrival meant that a large portion of his spoils had to be distributed.

"Never mind, let it go. Inform the internal personnel of this Territory about our current gains, and let them know. Also, regarding the spies within our Territory, find an opportunity to clean them up; we can’t let them take all the information back."

Fang Jie had no choice. He had allowed them in previously to show the two Empires that no single power had emerged dominant in the South.

However, as Fang Jie’s various decrees were implemented, the impact was significant. The spies had to be eliminated or flipped, otherwise, his moves would quickly be revealed.

At this critical juncture of strategizing against the Sea Alliance, Fang Jie certainly didn’t want the two Empires to interfere.

It was rumored that a power in the farther North was getting restless. Currently, the main focus of the two Empires wasn’t on him.

In the evening, the second wave of forces successfully landed, many people were giving speeches at that time. But their behavior was completely different from the troops he had manufactured.

Although very fervent, many were impatient, each harboring their own thoughts.

"Remember, we’ve occupied these Coastal Cities, no disturbances allowed. Also, if anyone violates military rules, they will be executed on the spot," the division commanders reiterated, urging them to avoid mistakes.

Yet when they were finally deployed, some couldn’t restrain themselves.

It was unclear whether these individuals had problematic origins or if there were other reasons.

As a result, the next day, a group was captured and tied up against pillars. Beside them, someone was reading out their previous offenses.

"Chief, it was just a minor issue, was this really necessary?"

"Hmph, a minor issue? What did I say before? Nothing can violate the rules; these are direct orders from above. During wartime, military orders outweigh everything else. Since a mistake was made, military law applies."

"No way, you’re serious? Damn it, I’m not playing this game anymore."

This individual attempted to resist, but was already restrained, unable to utilize any strength. Eventually, under their fearful gazes, each was executed.

The next day, this greatly intimidated the native troops.

They finally realized the vast difference between a real army and their previous adventuring parties.

Those with ulterior motives finally abandoned their schemes.

"You are here to earn military merits; with those, what can’t you do when you return? Don’t mess around on the battlefield. In our Territory, the real power is always the special troop types; no Lord would ever consider you the main force."

This was both a warning and an opportunity for them.

"If it weren’t for the Lord’s kindness, how could you have such an opportunity to climb up? Cherish this, and after a day of rest, I’ll take you to see the real battlefield."

"Did you all hear that? Don’t be arrogant in the military. This is what normal people would say. See those? Those are Hero Units, and they are not easy to deal with."

At this time, special agents arranged among the crowd began to educate the soldiers.

This had all been planned beforehand, all orchestrated by the Earth Military.
