Once the Snake Kingdom started the long-awaited war, they did so with their all, putting in all their efforts to make it as blown out as possible.
They came out with their all, mobilizing their strongest armies.
Like the Anemone Domain, the Snake Kingdom was also a mighty high-grade rural settlement with an even deeper foundation considering that they were the original overlords of this region.
Their depths were as deep as the abyss, their warriors were more powerful individually compared to the clownfish, they had the advantage of top power in the form of their hibernating snake elders, and they were known from antiquity to be the more cunning of the 2 species.
Perhaps, the only advantage where the clownfish were stronger than them was their mechs that had a lot of damage potential in large-scale wars.
Another fact was perhaps, their mysterious clown god.
This time though, all these did not deter the snakes, with the Empires at the top starting it, the hibernating elders once they were informed easily deduced that perhaps this was their only chance of trying to aim for the next level.
The next level in this term was upgrading officially to become a Snake Empire. This was the reason why the Anemone Domain was not their only opponent; every other rural settlement was their opponent.
The military leaders of the Snake Kingdom made meticulous plans and mobilized their massive snake armies in droves, strictly ordering them to follow the plans to the letter.
The plan of this military operation of the Snake Kingdom that was tagged 'World Domination Operation' was in 3 major folds.
The first was dedicated towards all the nearby lesser rural settlements, the 2nd was dedicated to protecting the Snake Kingdom from the aftereffects of the battle between the mighty Empires.
As for the last, it was the most important and was dedicated to upending the reign of the Anemone Domain.
The details of the 3 major plans were confidential, only known by Commander Snark of the Snake Kingdom army. Every major order came from the Commander himself, and every disobeying soldier faced a death sentence.
At this moment, in the whole Snake Kingdom, apart from the 5 hibernating Snake Elders, Commander Snark had the most authority.
Once this Commander finally started giving his commands, the whole region became engulfed by the flames of war that were already ravaging everywhere.
The Snake Kingdom that was built upon an extremely huge seamount entered its most alert and heavily defended state in centuries.
Thousands of military-grade shuttles were mobilized into the surrounding of the seamount, acting as the first defense line. The 2nd and subsequent defense lines were erected in the seamount itself in numerous forms.
Artillery turrets, magic canon propellers, torpedo launchers, massive laser guns, magic poison propellers, were just a part of the defensive means that were employed by the snakes to defend their territory.
The 3rd line of defense was of course the 5 snake elders.
These 5 ancient Red tier predators, the Mobbing Python, the Devouring Anaconda, the King Cobra, the Double-headed Serpent, and the Ancient Basilisk were the backbone of the Snake Kingdom.
With centuries of accumulation, forming a formidable collection of battle experience, cunningness, beast adaptation, and skills, these 5 were some of the most terrifying Red tier predators in Oceania to face in battle.
With this 5, the Snake Kingdom's defense stood as firm as Mountain Kilimanjaro of Africa. Unyielding and Strong!
With the most important defense taken care of, they could finally start the much-anticipated offense under the orders of Commander Snark.
The first strike force consisted of massive snake armies that were sent to invade the nearest low-grade rural settlements. The job of the first strike force was to tyrannically invade and annex all the nearest rural settlements.
As for the second-strike force which was the most comprehensive and had the most numbers of military-grade shuttles, this was the strike force that was tasked with the job of attacking the Anemone Domain.
To get to the Anemone Domain, they needed to transverse a great distance. This time was not wasted though, Commander Snark made good use of it.
Though this snake Commander disdained the filthy clownfish, after clashing with them for a long time, he did not dare to underestimate them and therefore used every means that was available to him in a bid to get the advantage first.
The attack on the clownfish strike force and the subsequent ones that followed that seemed like hit and run tactics were just ways that this Commander used in playing psychological games with his enemies.
If he won the psychological battle, the effects would be massive and he would be one step closer to overall victory.
He was right though. The clownfish were so used to their high pedestal that they completely underestimated the resolve of their archenemies, which was the main reason why they were stunned when the snakes started a full-scale invasion.
The main army of the Snake Kingdom had not arrived at the Anemone Domain yet, but they were already clashing with the field armies of the clownfish.
Having not expected the sudden attack of such a large scale, though the clownfish armies held well, they were slowly being pushed to a retreat.
The Commanders of the Anemone Domain were also trying to preserve as many deaths as possible which was why they ordered a gradual retreat.
It would not take much time and the snakes would finally arrive at their enemies' territory. Once they arrived, the real war would start.
All that was happening now was the calm before the storm.
Once the calm ended, the real war would erupt!
…
"They really started a full-scale invasion!"
Despite the old clownfish's exclamation, silence reigned in the councilor's gathering as every one of the 13 most authoritative clownfish of the Anemone Domain contemplated the current situation of the settlement.
The situation was already serious, against what a lot of the clownfish here expected. Now, they knew that saying anything impulsive actually had consequences which were why all the attention was currently on the chief councilor.
The actions of the past few days that swept throughout not only the Green Mist Sea, but 2 other Great Seas left them in a state of shock.
It was like sleeping normally in the era of earth's prosperity and peace, and suddenly waking up the next day to see that World War III just started.
The shock alone could prevent one from thinking accurately.
All the clownfish here were the most exceptional of the Anemone Domain though, they never buckled under pressure. Now that the situation was like this, they already adjusted their minds to the situation.
All they waited for was the chief councilor's verdict.
The massive aging clownfish directed a weary but still sharp eyes across all the 12 councilors that were in this gathering. He kept silent for minutes, allowing it to grate at the nerves of the councilors for long before he finally spoke.
"We respond".
Once he spoke, his body left the originally lifeless posture that it was in, taking on the posture of an authoritative clownfish once again.
"We respond, that is what we do!" His voice rose a few decibels higher.
"I don't know what in the world is starting this sudden large-scale war, but since the snakes want to use this opportunity to engage in a tug of war with us, I say we tell them that we still got it!"
"This is my order, let the Anemone Domain go to war!"
The old clownfish grinned. "Send this message across if it can get to him".
"Tell Basik that my prime mech is ready to kick his ass again!"
