Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls - Chapter 671 - 335: The Old Master’s Mission, Future Crisis (Part 2)

This is the kind of decisiveness a military leader should have. The old man already understands that the nature of this matter is no longer about conflict and contradiction, but a purposeful invasion.

Since it is an invasion, believing that Sovereign Lanyun would forgo war due to the relationship between the two countries is as naive as assuming a school bully would stop bullying due to a kind heart.

In face of Sovereign Lanyun’s stance, the only way to prevent a full-scale war is by using force to push him back.

Fang Yu felt invigorated.

The old man’s words, like a powerful stimulant, infused Fang Yu’s body, making him understand the old man’s stance.

Because of this, Fang Yu found that he didn’t have to hesitate or run about finding painstaking ways to quell the war.

“I understand, General, what should I do next? Please direct me!”

At this moment, Kong Huaao spoke softly.

A glint appeared in his eyes, and his whole demeanor exuded an air of resolute firmness.

Fang Yu glanced at Kong Huaao in surprise, then gradually came to his senses.

Indeed…

Don’t be fooled by Mr. Kong’s usual rationality and calmness; he even went to Lanyun Sea Country to attempt to mediate the dispute between the two nations due to the Sin Domain issue.

But this self-restraint is what Kong Huaao needs as a military commander.

Upon hearing the old man say it’s okay to let go and fight, Kong Huaao immediately understood the old man’s supportive stance on the matter.

As long as the old man approved, there was nothing else to say but to fight freely.

As the promising young talent favored by the old man in the military, at heart, he is indeed an aggressive commander.

Fang Yu didn’t forget that the South Sea Third Army’s attribute enhancement is in the direction of attack power.

If the commander himself is not aggressive, then his troops naturally won’t have it either, let alone attributes enhancing attack power.

Mr. Kong…is inherently unafraid of battle.

“To wage war, two things must be done.”

The old man seemed a bit tired, his voice even weaker, but his thoughts were crystal clear:

“First, consolidate internally. Xiao Kong, you go to the Central Continent and explain the situation with Lanyun Country to the President. Of course, the President definitely already knows about Lanyun Country; your main purpose is to convey my opinion on this trip.”

“Ultimately, let the President decide, but as long as the President nods, I won’t have to worry about internal disunity and differing opinions.”

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Kong Huaao’s eyes firmed up, standing straight, and he gave a standard military salute:

“Yes! General!”

“As for Fang Yu…”

The old man looked at Fang Yu, then spoke softly:

“Armies march on their stomachs.”

“Why has the South Island Continent heavily developed commerce? It’s all in preparation for today.”

“Now, numerous arms dealers and resource merchants have emerged on South Island Continent.”

“With war looming, besides unifying the Federation’s military forces, consolidating resources for war supplies is critical!”

“You will approach Sky Dome Technology and Essence Feast, informing them to start preparing resources.”

“Just mention my name, and they will surely prepare everything.”

The old man spoke, his voice weak but his mind clear.

As the old man spoke, a systematic prompt sounded in Fang Yu’s mind:

“Congratulations, Captain Fang Yu, for receiving the mission ’Resource Integration’.”

“Mission Introduction: Due to the needs of war, now is the time to integrate war resources. You need to visit Sky Dome Technology and Essence Feast companies and sign armament/resource contracts for the war.”

“Mission Rewards: Military rank promotion, 3 million experience points, ’Immortal’ Ocean Scripture, Essence of Flesh and Blood…”

The two quickly accepted the mission and were about to leave the room.

But at this moment, the old man called Fang Yu to stop:

“Fang Yu, you stay for a moment. Xiao Kong, you wait for him outside.”

“Yes!”

Kong Huaao nodded, then pushed open the door and walked out alone.

Fang Yu remained in the room, looking at the old man, somewhat worriedly saying, “Old man, why don’t you take a rest first? You seem very tired.”

“It’s okay.”

The old man indeed appeared much weaker, but he shook his head: “I don’t have much time. I must give my instructions, and once the military operates normally, I can be at ease.”

Listening to the old man, Fang Yu’s expression changed slightly, and he couldn’t help but say: “Old man, is there something you want to instruct me on?”

“Yes!”

After resting for a while, the old man continued: “You should have heard from Xiao Kong, it is my intention to focus on nurturing you and Xiao Kong.”

Fang Yu nodded slightly.

“But Fang Yu, your identity is special, as an Outer Realm Captain, not of this world’s person. If placed in a high position, you may find it difficult to convince others.”

“Therefore, the one who can take my place in the future should still be Kong Huaao. I hope you won’t blame me for this.”

The old man spoke softly, his gaze directed at Fang Yu.

Hearing the old man’s words, Fang Yu couldn’t help but laugh softly, “Old man, you’re worrying too much, I don’t actually have much interest in power, nor in the glory of the era’s might.”

“If Mr. Kong can take over your position and shoulder the responsibilities in the future, I would be happy for him.”

The old man gazed steadily at Fang Yu, realizing Fang Yu’s expression didn’t seem to be feigned. Internally, he let out a slight sigh of relief, and a hint of comfort swept through his eyes.
