Chương 42: The First Few Days

As Madam Zheng and Baron's group were so close to each other, they decided that they would each conquer in different directions from each other. Madam Zheng would conquer north and eastwards, while the latter decided to subjugate to the south, west, and east. Zi Bo and Zi Ji Ge were no slowpokes when it came time to train their troops and getting their weapons and such into working order.

Those two spent days before the official start date of the clashing on working out a workable way to win as much land as possible. There weren't a lot of islands in their vicinity and there were in total 3 or 4 giant islands that would prove even more difficult to take once the tournament progressed to the later stages. This was not something that they could control so they could only gradually conquer instead of continuing in one direction so that they could take one of the big islands for themselves.

For one, the waters here were deep enough for submarines to comfortably operate and that would ensure a whole new level of risk that would come with venturing too far from the homeland. The situation with bases was a little unique with the naval tournament in that if you didn't have land in your territory, you could only use your ships as your base. This meant that if you don't have land nor a sturdy enough main fleet, your chances of success weren't very high. Plus, even if you did manage to have a strong fleet, it didn't guarantee that you would have a higher chance of survival.

In this competition, having land was crucially important for a multitude of reasons. The main one being that no matter how powerful you are, there is nothing better than being able to regroup with your men on dry land. The other reason is that it is possible to use land-based weaponry on land. The same could not be said when all you have are ships. This adds an extra layer of defense when it comes to defending territory.

At the beginning, there were over 10 thousand strategists that were vying for supremacy out in the open waters. Those that shared territory with land started to fight each other so that they would be the sole rulers of their island. Others made truces and alliances because they knew that it was better to not get into a death feud right at the start, No matter how many weapons and men one had, there were more uses for them at the later stages rather than at the beginning.

Madam Zheng's group and ZI Ji Ge's group decided to not do this since they knew from experience that these pacts didn't last anyway and it was better to get rid of competition early on rather than when both sides have matured into their most fearsome state. Madam Zheng's group had a much larger island that they had to fight over so they took a little while longer than Zi Ji Ge's but they managed to do it since their opponents weren't the most experienced strategists.

Zi Bo and Zi Ji Ge had a much smaller island to conquer and as such needed less than a week to do so. Madam Zheng's group took closer to 3 weeks. With one small island under their control, the Zi siblings quickly made use of the land to make sure that they had enough defenses on the island. The two leaders did not have many blueprints in this department and Baron and the other two stepped in and provided a few they thought were appropriate. They brought out missiles, radio towers, a bunch of radars and Baron's favorite ancient flamethrower. The reason Baron decided to use this here was that it would be overly useful to fleets that were still made of wood, not so much when it came to anything modern and made of metal.

While this weapon was not exactly useful for the endgame of such a large tournament like this, it would serve to be extremely useful for anyone still using ancient ships. The radio and radar technologies were built in record time and they were able to communicate with each other and be able to detect enemy ships that had a motor within a 25 km radius of them. The only disadvantage would be that wooden ships would be able to slip through, that's why there were multiple men stationed around the island to keep watch of anyone coming to steal their land.

This was only possible because they were able to convince most of the other strategists that had territory within the land to convert themselves to be under the Zi siblings. This proved to be a great boon to their strength and a great early advantage. Once they had prepared all of their defenses, and other infrastructure projects, they continued to conquer all of the territories with the people now under their control.

Within 3 months of the battle start date, the Zi siblings' territory reached from the southwestern edge of the map to the almost a quarter way to the middle of the map. They did not make much leeway into territories from their north due to Madam Zheng instructing them not to do such a thing.

Madam Zheng, on the other hand, had claimed much more territory in addition to their mid-sized island that they had to take control of first. Her group did not rely on absorbing conquered enemies into their own group. Instead, they adopted a tactic like the Bair fighters in the previous competition had. This might have led to an overall decrease in their strength but Madam Zheng knew that it was better to rely on people she has fought with before instead of relying on strangers. Three months in she was doing war with the corner island on the northwesternmost island that extended all the way to the edge of the map.

Chương 43: Elders In Trouble

The battles continued to rage on for another year 6 months after that, then there was a short period of relative peace so that all of the remaining fleets could take a much-needed breather. It was at this time that Madam Zheng and the Zi siblings finally met up after not being able to for the past little while. This meeting would have Baron, Zi Bo, Zi Ji Ge, and Madam Zheng meeting up to discuss what their battle plans for the future would entail.

(MZ) "Nice to see you again Baron. It seems like you and these two seem to get along well if they agreed to let you be allies." Madam Zheng said in a sophisticated voice.

(BM) "Getting to learn from these two experts these past few months have been an incredible experience from my part. It has surely opened my eyes to the possibilities of what is possible to achieve on the open seas." Baron openly complimented the siblings.

(ZJG) "Humph, you better believe it! Though I must say that everyone in his group seems to be quite the quick learner. These past few months they went from having little to no experience to being able to hold their own against even mediocre strategists." Zi Ji Ge said in a flowery voice that did not suit her personality at all.

(ZB) "..." Zi Bo said nothing and looked around the room with his usual blank face.

(MZ) "Heh. Well, I'm glad to hear that. Now, I suppose we should get to the briefing of what we need to achieve in the coming months. First though, let's hear of what your group has accomplished so far, Zi JI Ge and Zi Bo."

(ZJG) "Yes, ma'am. We have managed to conquer the island that we first set our sights on within a few days of the battle commencing. Then, in the coming months, we had claimed lands as far west as the Vesper faction's Wu San Gui's territory, we are fighting them as we speak. Lastly, we have managed to make our borders line up with yours and we are able to merge with your group any time you please." She said with a sort of satisfied look.

(MZ) "Very good, I heard that you had many successes due to the ancient flamethrower against some of the fodder strategists, Baron?"

(BM) "Indeed, it is quite useful against ships made of wood, not so much for something like metal ships. Though I plan on fixing that once I get the formula for Greek fire. Rumors say that they are able to burn anything even underwater, though it may be exaggerated, it is a much stronger substance than whatever nonsense that I have powering my machine right now.

(MZ) "Is that so? Mind if you allow us to test a few of it later?"

(BM) "Not at all, I'll send 50 to you next week. Though they won't be able to melt most metals, it will still serve useful as many other types of attacks, as you will soon be able to see."

(MZ) "Excellent, let me tell you about our end of the situation before we talk about the future. So, as I'm sure that you know, we have taken over the majority of the west, northwest, and a bit of the central region of the maps."

(BM) "Yes, I heard that the people that inhabited the island on the northwest part of the map put up quite a fight when you guys showed up."

(MZ) "Indeed, we suffered a few minor setbacks but nothing too alarming. The problem lies with how the Vesper faction has seriously limited our ability to expand by taking over the majority of the central regions. This means that if we want to get past them to get at the rest of the resources beyond them, we will have to either wipe them off the map or cripple them. Doing either is no small task might I add."

(ZJG) "So what's the plan? Will we be doing traditional tactics or will we be going along with some scheme that you and your two hubbies cooked up?"

(MZ) "This era of peace will not last long. Even so, we have not been able to find a solution to taking them down. If we do nothing and allow them to grow stronger as we stagnate, then this is as good as lost. However, if we do decide to do something, we ourselves might be crippled so badly that we will not be able to continue on with the competition."

(BM) "It seems like there isn't much of a choice is there? Wait for Vesper to become strong enough to take us down or fight them head-on with neither side being at full power."

(ZJG) "Seems so, will the elders be joining us in our battle against Vesper then?"

(MZ) "It seems unlikely that will be the case. Vesper has been hounding them down for quite a while now and I don't think they will be able to hold back until the end of the first year. I've heard that Vesper has sent in some of their best to get rid of our elders right in the beginning."

(BM) "That's not good, especially since we will be needing every possible resource available to us to win against Vesper."

(MZ) "Quite right, but our elders are in a remote part of the other side of the map. We won't exactly be able to sneak past them in order to rescue our allies. Though it pains me to say it, they will likely be terminated by the Vesper faction and we can only sit by and watch as that happens. They are cornered and I believe that there are far more risks than I'd like to take if I were to mount any real sort of recovery mission."

(BM) "What If we didn't try to rescue them, but instead we launch a multi-pronged attack on one of the main bases of the Vesper faction?"
