Chapter 316: The Appearance of the Aquatic Monster

In the Blackwatch Command Center at New Clark City on January 30th, 2024, the atmosphere was tense but controlled. Richard Gonzales, the head of Blackwatch, was directly engaged in overseeing the initial stages of Operation Ironclad Advance.

"What's the latest update on our naval forces?" Richard inquired, his voice steady, betraying none of the tension that the situation warranted.

"Sir, our fleet has successfully engaged and neutralized a significant number of Flyers," Mark, his second-in-command, reported from his console. "It appears Lin Feng is aware of our approach, given the aerial resistance we encountered."

Richard nodded, understanding the implications. "Once Lin Feng has seen us, there's no retreating. We're fully committed now," he stated, acknowledging the gravity of their decision to advance.
