Chapter 1127 – One Real and One Fake

Luzon, Java, and Australia; the three of them were one body.

Thinking along this line, the group of them gathered together, pooling their ideas. This meeting lasted till night before they finally managed to take out an overall structure for this battle.

After this, the Grand Council would be in charge of the specifics and the generals on the frontlines would follow the plan.

The orange red setting sun covered the Xia Palace, shining through the red door and entering the hall. Facing the setting sun, Ouyang Shuo stretched, not bothering about his image. Before the meeting ended, he announced a series of appointments.

The army used to attack Luzon was as usual; it would be known as the expedition army.

Dragon Legion Corps marshal Baiqi was the expedition general, Jia Xu was the advisor, Huo Qubing was the vanguard general, Hanoi marshal Xue Rengui was the left general, and Emperor Squadron Fleet Admiral Zhou Yu was the right general.

The specific troops deployed included the Dragon Legion Corps, the Guards Legion Corps, Hanoi 1st, 2nd, and 3rd legions, Emperor Squadron, Yashan Squadron 1st, 2nd, and 3rd division, and the 4th division of the Indian Ocean Squadron.

The 1st and 5th legions of the City Protection Legion as well as the 1st and 5th division of the Indian Ocean Squadron would act as backup forces to be thrown in if needed.

Since they were backup, they naturally had to be prepared in advance.

At this point, the pre-war preparations for the Battle of Luzon came to an end. Now, only the flames await.

…

11th month, 7th day, Auckland Region.

Before this, after Siam went under Great Xia, New Zealand’s imperial city Wellington did the same. This meant that the entirety of New Zealand belonged to Great Xia.

Although that was the case, in Great Xia’s regional planning, New Zealand was still listed as Auckland region. Jason was still the provincial general and was deeply trusted by Ouyang Shuo.

Auckland City.

Using the cover of the night, Huo Qubing led 350 thousand Guards Legion Corps troops and sneakily teleported over.

Auckland provincial general Jason had received the secret orders from the Imperial Court long ago, and with the help of the Auckland formation, they had set up curfew in the city. This whole matter was a secret to ensure that the tracks of the Guards Legion Corps were not revealed.

Since Australia was one of the war targets, how could the nearby New Zealand be left out?

Of course, if outsiders saw the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps here, they would be shocked. As on the morning of the same day, the Honglu Temple Outreach Division had revealed to the public the dynasty’s plan toward Luzon.

In the announced participating army list, the Guards Legion Corps was included.

Who knew that this eye-catching trump card force would suddenly appear in Auckland, tens of thousands of miles away from Luzon?

Very quickly, the answer was revealed.

The next morning, when the sky turned bright, the 1st and 4th legions of the Guards Legion Corps, under the protection of the 4th division of the Indian Ocean Squadron, advanced toward the neighboring Australia region.

After doing so much, Great Xia was actually going to take down Australia first?

Maybe.

Braving the ocean wind and charging through the mist, the squadron rode the waves and were ready to sound the first gun of the Battle of Luzon.

At 2 PM, the squadron entered Sydney Harbor.

The Australia region did not have a foundation for industrialization and lacked advanced artisans. Apart from purchasing merchant ships from the outside, they only had some fishing boats. They did not have a navy.

Only when the Indian Ocean had already entered the harbor did the garrison forces of Sydney notice.

Sydney was a newly built city, forming a line with main city Melbourne and Canberra. Sydney in the north, Melbourne in the south, and Canberra in the middle of the two.

The Guards Legion Corps chose to disembark here, and it was obviously planned beforehand.

During this period of time, as he was worried that Great Xia would take revenge, Melbourne Lord Avera had gathered his troops in Melbourne, becoming a turtle.

The entire territory did not have any defenses apart from the main city.

It was mentioned that Australia was big but lacking in terms of population. It was an independent giant island with a long coastline.

With 100 thousand troops, how could they defend such a large territory?

Rather than being eaten bite by bite by the enemy, why not gather the troops at one spot and fight to the death?

Of course, without the help of Java, Australia would not be able to decide its own fate. When Jack forced Avera to restrict the supply of ores and coal, enraging Great Xia, it was because of such a promise.

If it were not for the fact that cross continental territories could not form alliances, Dawson Dyansty would personally assist Melbourne.

As a result, when the 1st and 4th legion boarded the beaches under the cover of the squadron’s cannon fire, what they faced was a defenseless city.

In less than an hour, Sydney was lost.

When the country war notification was triggered, Melbourne Lord Avera’s heart slowed by half a beat, and his face instantly turned ashen white.

Avera’s subconscious reaction was to immediately seek help from Uwais.

…

Java, Badong City.

When Uwais received Avera’s call for help, he immediately frowned. Just a few moments ago, Luzon Lord Mading also sent a distress signal, saying that the Great Xia Army had attacked Luzon on all sides.

On the same day, the Great Xia Hanoi legion corps’ three legions, under the protection of the 1st and 2nd division of the Yashan Squadron, successfully disembarked on Mindanao on the north, officially declaring war on Luzon.

“That’s weird!”

Uwais could not understand the situation. Was Great Xia attacking both or was it one real and one fake that aimed to purposely delay the progress of their reinforcements?

If he was not sure of this point, Uwais would not easily send troops out.

Although Badong city had a million troops, this army was their foundation and reliance to standing up in Asia. If they lost too many of them, Badong would become weak, and with Great Xia’s character, they would not give up that chance.

If that happened, everything would be lost.

As a result, Uwais had to be careful. He decided to wait until Australia sent more detailed intel. At least, he had to be sure which army of Great Xia’s was attacking Australia and how many were there.

Receiving Uwais’s question, Avera was totally ashamed.

It was obvious that he was totally freaked out by Great Xia. The moment he heard the notification, he panicked and asked for help, forgetting to even scout about enemy intel.

Luckily, Sydney was one of the main focuses of Avera’s rule. Although it fell, there were still many spies there that quickly found out about the enemy information.

Hearing that the ones who came were two legions from the Guards Legion Corps, Avera’s heart shook.

“Great Xia sent out the Guards Legion Corps, it’s obvious that they are not scaring us but truly striking. This is only the vanguard force, I hope you can swiftly assist.” Avera replied to Uwais.
