Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1664: Arrival of Reinforcements
Previously on Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies...
The massive alloy door of the Nautilus opened with a rumbling roar, and three imposing Transcendents appeared before everyone's eyes.
At the lead was a tall, broad figure carrying a massive tech hand cannon on his back, Newton.
The two aces of the Colombia Ocean Fleet, the Lord of the Seas John Cadillus, and the Piercer Yasin Canero, stood on either side of him.
Of the three Transcendents, two had already reached Black Chariot level. Even the weakest, Canero, was widely renowned in the maritime domain as a genius.
The three giants Colombia had dispatched this time were all extraordinarily capable.
The officers of the East China Sea Major Region couldn't help but murmur among themselves, "Colombia has shown tremendous sincerity this time!"
Someone nearby replied, "But of course. If Huaxu Nation falls in this battle, they'll lose their dominion over the Southeast Asian seas as well. In the face of a common enemy, even former rivals can become temporary allies."
The three giants descended from the warship, and behind them, the members of the Sea Wave Special Forces, clad head to toe in battle armor, marched in orderly formation.
Newton approached Li Guangxiao. His gaze swept over Xuanwu, lingered briefly on Zhuque, then he openly extended his hand to shake with Li Guangxiao.
"Marshal Li, greetings. This time, we will assist you in securing the maritime domain."
Li Guangxiao's face was wreathed in smiles. "Excellent! With your help, we now have full confidence in the war for the maritime domain!"
The two most elite naval forces in the world, joining hands, could effortlessly sweep across every sea on the planet.
And their first joint operation was to defend against an enemy not of humanity.
After shaking hands with Li Guangxiao, Newton said directly, "Once the two navies have merged, the maritime defense line will be left to you. As for me, I will be heading to Tianshui City next."
A hint of surprise surfaced on Li Guangxiao's face.
"Tianshui City? I thought you would be heading to Shengjing."
Newton replied, "According to our war game simulations, the next battle has a very high probability of breaking out in Tianshui City!"
This wasn't difficult to deduce.
From the last war, it was clear that the Wuluan Empire's primary target of attack was Tianshui City.
And Zhang Yi himself had inextricable ties to the Wuluan Empire.
They, who had suffered tremendously at Zhang Yi's hands, would inevitably want to reclaim their lost ground here.
Li Guangxiao lowered his eyes and said seriously, "While we are extremely grateful for your support, after coming to Huaxu Nation, we hope you will cooperate with our operations in the upcoming battles."
"Therefore, this matter needs to first be jointly resolved by our major regions."
Newton nodded. There was virtually no expression visible on his face, giving off an almost zombie-like impression.
"That's no problem."
But then he shifted the conversation. "However, I would like to visit Tianshui City first. I am extremely curious about that legendary Chaos."
Li Guangxiao said, "For this matter, you'll have to discuss it with Chaos personally."
No one could make decisions on Zhang Yi's behalf.
Hearing this, Newton slowly nodded. He turned around and said to Cadillus and Canero:
"According to the original plan, you two will coordinate with the Huaxu Nation navy to conduct defense along the coastline. At sea, Cadillus's strength can be maximized, so there's no need for you to consider matters of land warfare."
The two naturally had no objections and nodded.
Cadillus chuckled. "Hey, Newton. What's your action plan, then?"
Newton glanced at him and said coldly, "I am an observer. My specific action plan will be determined based on how this battle develops."
Newton was only here to carry out a mission. Naturally, he wouldn't fight to the death to protect Huaxu Nation.
When he arrived, the orders he received were to cooperate with Huaxu Nation's Transcendents, but to retreat without hesitation the moment danger arose.
Of course, Cadillus and Canero roughly shared the same intentions.
Newton obtained Zhang Yi's communication channel and contacted him directly.
The video call connected quickly.
Zhang Yi was currently using a new communication channel, specifically for wartime use, known only to his trusted confidants and the higher-ups of the major regions.
So he knew that anyone capable of obtaining his contact information was definitely no ordinary person.
Zhang Yi's face appeared on the screen.
Seeing Newton's foreign features, Zhang Yi asked flatly, "Hello, may I ask who this is?"
Newton said, "I am a Transcendent who came from Colombia to provide support. You may call me Newton. Mr. Chaos, for the sake of upcoming wartime defensive arrangements, I wish to visit Tianshui City. I'd like to obtain your permission."
Zhang Yi thought for a moment, then asked, "You're saying you believe Tianshui City will become the primary battlefield going forward?"
Newton said, "From big data analysis, that possibility is extremely high."
Zhang Yi inwardly complained: Now I've practically become a tourist attraction of Huaxu Nation. Everyone who shows up wants to see me. What can I do? Fame brings trouble, just like a fat pig gets slaughtered!
He originally didn't want to deal with Colombia's Transcendents, to avoid these fellows doing anything underhanded on his turf.
But this time, Newton had genuinely come to provide support, and according to the intelligence Shengjing had provided, this guy belonged to Colombia's extremely powerful Transcendent organization, the Natural Science Association, and his strength had also reached Black Chariot level.
For a helper like this, Zhang Yi couldn't very well refuse his request.
"Since Mr. Newton is willing to grace Tianshui City with his presence, I naturally welcome it warmly."
Newton nodded. "Very well, I'll head over immediately."
Zhang Yi: This guy really is impatient!
But he could understand. War could break out at any moment, and everyone was racing against time.
After obtaining Zhang Yi's consent, Newton exchanged no pleasantries and took his leave from Li Guangxiao and the others directly.
He left the Nautilus to Cadillus and, bringing the Sea Wolf Special Forces with him, boarded a warship bound for Tianshui City.
At the same time, in Shengjing, another guest arriving from the Northern Frontier was welcomed.
He was a burly man built like a bear, unsmiling, his expression even somewhat wooden.
His brown-yellow hair was slightly curly, and his long, thick beard was so full that unless he opened his mouth, you couldn't even see where it was.
He appeared at Shengjing's north gate dressed in lumberjack-like clothing, carrying a black metal case almost as large as his entire body.
"Is this Shengjing City?"
He stroked the thick beard on his chin, murmuring in a deep voice.
"It seems the walls are even taller than Kallen's."
Soon, the gates of Shengjing City slowly opened.
Shang Daowen, in a white military robe, led his subordinate Tiangang members to appear at the north gate.
Smiling, he bowed respectfully to the God of Thunder Perun, Alexei.
"Welcome, my sincere friend!"
