Chapter 1494 The Western Sea Shocks

When Chen Chuan saw the news, his eyes flickered. He glanced at it and, as expected, it was indeed a joint operation by the Western Continent nations to annihilate Emperor Capa I.

He paid a little attention, and Kaiyang immediately displayed a detailed 3D map of the area in front of him, showing the surrounding geography and population distribution.

The town of Mekakaren, with a population of less than a thousand, is located in the northeast corner of the Greater Leviswa Coalition. It is a low-lying basin, with the narrow, deep sea less than 100 kilometers to its north.

Great Leviswath borders Norland. In the early stages of the Grand Alliance, it briefly merged with Norland before separating again, becoming the Northern Alliance of Norland and the United Government of Great Leviswath. In the context of the Eastern Continent, it is still preferred to refer to it collectively as Norland.

The western part of the coalition government is densely populated with central cities, where many well-known global corporations have their headquarters. In contrast, the eastern part of the coalition government is relatively underdeveloped, with few and small central cities, and is filled with localists, warlords, and remnants of the old era.

Although the former imperial family of the Western Continent has completely retreated into the fusion region, it still retains considerable influence in this area. This region has long maintained trade relations with the former imperial family, and many small companies have established their laboratories and secret research institutes here.

Chen Chuan glanced at it and realized that Xi Lu's choice of this location for the battle was not random, but rather a deliberate one.

He gathered the previous intelligence and information, and sure enough, the various countries of the Western Continent mobilized their Throne Fighters from all directions, using a series of methods such as interception and encirclement to constantly drive and pressure Capa I, gradually forcing him into this lowland area.

At the same time, they made certain exchanges of interests with the Kingdom of Noros and the Palaneo Faith Region, which led to the sealing of the borders by these countries. Even the Shun Dynasty requested cooperation in guarding the borders to prevent the emperor from crossing over through some of its vassal states.

It's clear this was a meticulously planned encirclement and suppression operation. Not only the Northern Alliance of Norrland, but also the Abyjorn Straits Alliance, the Southern Niss Faith Diocese, and the Great Leviswa United Government all dispatched their respective fighters.

The exact number of people on both sides is currently unclear; only a general figure can be determined. At the time the message was sent, the battle was not yet over.

Chen Chuan was experienced in this kind of situation. He could tell at a glance that when a situation like this, where the battle was not decided for a long time, it must mean that the two sides were relatively evenly matched and that the early attacks were most likely probing attacks.

It seems Emperor Capa I is not fighting alone this time, which makes the outcome of the battle uncertain, especially since the battleground is shifting northwards towards the Deep Sea...

He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

At this time, his security detail received messages from the advisory group, the State Council, and the military.

Pei Xiyan from the five-person group then sent a message: "Advisor Chen, excuse me, I believe you have received news about the siege of Mekakaren. The military would like to ask you to analyze and judge the trend of this battle."

Regarding the course of this war, the military, the State Council, and the advisory group all felt that Chen Chuan's opinion needed to be taken seriously.

After all, while the battles on the World Ring side involve a significant number of top-tier fighters, they are usually fought in small groups. Furthermore, Chen Chuan has led the two largest group battles of Dongxuan Temple fighters in the last fifty years, and no one on the Da Shun side has more experience than him.

Chen Chuan nodded slightly. This was exactly what an advisor should do. After a moment's thought, he said:

"The information is still unclear, and the number of enemy and friendly forces is unknown. At this stage, it seems that the Western Continent has the overall advantage. In terms of movement direction, the battle area is shifting northward without any other bias, which should also be a deliberate move by the Western Continent."

North of the town lies the famous Deep Sea, so the West Land's initial goal was not to engage in a decisive battle, but rather to force people to the sea and launch the final battle there.

Their primary objective was likely to prevent further destruction in the area, and I also suspect they had some prior arrangements in place.

As it turns out, his analysis was absolutely correct.

According to subsequent reports, the two sides did not change their direction of movement and retreated to the sea. Then, it seems that the news from the western lands suddenly stopped.

This is exactly what happens when top fighters engage in combat, thus affecting the information field.

Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly. He knew that the two sides were likely to engage in a decisive battle. The battle should not last too long. If it was quick, the result might be in a few minutes, and if it was slow, it would not exceed half an hour.

At the same time, he finally received more detailed intelligence.

This time, the Western Continent dispatched nine Throne Fighters from various countries and regions, in groups of three.

Meanwhile, five fighters from the former Western Imperial Family assisted King Capa I.

These people could not be considered Capa's old subordinates, because his country already had a new imperial heir. However, these Throne Fighters greatly admired this emperor, so they spontaneously gathered together and participated in the assistance.

In terms of sheer numbers, the disparity isn't that great. Given Capa I's past performance in combat, a fully armed Capa I could easily hold off three or four kings.

but……

Chen Chuan glanced at it; this time, the Western Continent had initiated the encirclement and suppression campaign, so it was impossible for them not to consider various possibilities.
He noticed a message from the secret service that the Western Continent was suspected of deploying an unknown number of active consciousness entities.

At this point, a military representative asked, "Advisor Chen, who do you think will win this battle?"

Chen Chuan said, "I maintain my previous view that the Western Continent has a greater chance of winning. Based on the previous intelligence analysis, the Western Continent must have been planning this battle for a long time. The mobilization of the old imperial family's throne fighters should not have been kept from them, and it is even possible that the Western Continent instigated it. I believe that the Western Continent's real purpose is not just to besiege Capa I, but to use him to lure out and annihilate the forces of the old imperial family of the Western Continent."

The military representatives discussed it privately and all agreed. They had previously made several predictions, one of which led to this conclusion, which was consistent with Chen Chuan's analysis.

They believed that the old imperial family might also have the same goal, wanting to use Capa to carry out a sabotage campaign.

However, they cannot determine who will win or lose; only Chen Chuan can provide a relatively reliable prediction.

Now that he has shown a bias towards the Western Continent, if this continues, the outcome of the war will inevitably rewrite the subsequent regional landscape. The Da Shun government and military immediately made a decision, issuing instructions to Da Shun enterprises within the Western Continent via transoceanic telegrams to prepare for the potential benefits.

Less than twenty minutes after the telegram was sent, the battle came to an end, and news continued to arrive.

This siege ended with the complete annihilation of the throne fighters from the old imperial family, and Emperor Capa I fleeing into the Land of Fusion.

This was consistent with Chen Chuan's judgment, and everyone was convinced.

Chen Chuan didn't actually think he could predict the outcome accurately, but compared to the old imperial family, the Western Continent was technologically far ahead. Fighting on their home turf, in a battlefield they had chosen beforehand, meant that even if they couldn't win, they wouldn't lose.

However, the true extent of the losses suffered by the old imperial family is still unclear, because Throne Fighters usually have mutated organizations behind them, and killing them on the spot would require a lot of planning.

He speculated that Capa I's retreat might also be the result of the West's deliberate indulgence, in order to allow him to disrupt the old imperial court.

The Western Continent seems very determined to eradicate the old imperial family.

The expansion of the Shun dynasty's skyline and the success of eliminating the old imperial family likely had a significant impact on them.

In fact, he thought this was a good thing. The central cities of the world are nodes of the World Ring, and every country plays an important role. Apart from people like Emperor Capa, the other members of the old imperial family are very likely to collude with extraterrestrial beings. If they can be eliminated in advance, it will be beneficial to the maintenance of world order.

At this point, his car finally returned to the field space, and after receiving thanks from military and government officials, he lost contact with them.

Upon entering the mansion, Kaiyang sent a notification:
"Advisor Chen, the weapons storage room you requested has been built and tidied up. Please take a look and see if you are satisfied. If not, we can make further repairs."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

It was supposed to be a collection room, but it was actually a new building constructed next to the main house, connected to the residence by a retractable overpass leading directly to his bedroom. There was only one entrance and exit.

He hurried upstairs and walked along the overpass into the building. Instantly, all the lights turned on, illuminating the place brightly.

He looked around and saw that it was an interior space with five floors, an open center, and only a surrounding corridor at the edges.

This meets the requirements he gave earlier. These five layers correspond to five limits. On the bottom layer, he will display some souvenirs and weapons he obtained after embarking on the path of a fighter.
The second layer contains the spoils from the second limit, the third layer contains the loot from the third limit, and so on upwards.

What he found somewhat regrettable was that those extraterrestrial demons might no longer be able to use weapons.

However, it doesn't matter. Even if they don't, they will still have some body fragments and some unique things left behind. After all, precious materials can also be included here, and they can be listed on it in the future.

Just as he was lost in thought, another message arrived on his device. He glanced at it; it was from Ren Xinshan, and it read:

"Advisor Chen, Cheng Gao has returned to China and is with me. He has also retrieved his belongings. When will he come to pick them up?"

Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow. Cheng Gao had previously said that if everything went smoothly, he might bring back a secret map of heaven and man.

However, there was no news for the next few months. He thought that he might have misjudged the situation, so he didn't take it too seriously.

Unexpectedly, this time not only did the person return, but it seems they also brought the items with them.

He immediately replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."

As he spoke, a wisp of purple energy drifted out from his body and quickly transformed into a figure identical to himself, which then walked out of the building.
