Chapter 398 - 153: Entering the Battle
The Sea Tribe’s attack this time was indeed different from the past, though the battle had always been tense, but after the outset of all-out war, the empire had constructed a thick earthen wall along the new coastline. Each segment of the wall was manned with large legions for defense, and periodically, the regions would rotate troops and make repairs.
While the Sea Tribe was numerous, constrained by the Snowy Region, its attacks on the empire gradually shifted from comprehensive to sectional. Silver Wind had experienced a minor scale attack just before the last troop rotation; though termed "minor," the number of Sea Tribe members mobilized was also in the tens of thousands.
Such harassing attacks happened nearly a hundred times every day, their aim being to continuously wear down the will of the empire’s soldiers. Stationing should have been a simple task, but the constant attacks were a form of psychological torture. As the saying goes, "To attack the city is inferior, to attack the heart is superior," the Sea Tribe’s purpose was to completely break the will of the empire’s soldiers.
The scale of this attack, in comparison, was much larger than before, and Silver Wind sensed something was amiss.
"Doggy, hurry to the rear and report to the Military Department for reinforcements."
"Okay! Woof!" Doggy nodded and leaped down from the city wall.
The Sea Tribe’s tidal wave arrived in an instant, still about a kilometer from the city wall.
Silver Wind swung his arm wide: "Now!"
The Lightning Mage’s skill, which had been charging for a long time, suddenly activated. From the Lightning Mages’ formation, a beam of lightning over ten meters in diameter roared towards the Sea Tribe’s wavefront.
Lightning skills were the bane of water skills; hence Silver Wind had saved this skill for last.
