The Kingdom of Losendas was established.

Jano naturally became the King of Losendas!

And Sophia became the kingdom's co-ruler, managing the kingdom's affairs in Jano's absence.

When the news of the Winged independence reached Proadas, the goblin emperor and his ministers exchanged glances, seemingly having not expected the Winged to react so fiercely.

But the majority of the empire's army was in the northern territory defending against the Bimons court, preventing them from advancing south. The empire could no longer mobilize the various mainland races within its borders, and could only grit their teeth and accept the situation.

Emperor Lyon Amiguel hoped that the sea race would severely punish the Winged.

In July,

The sea race's Great Princess, Themis, personally led her sea-race army to attack the Winged’s east coast.

Firing the first shot in the thousand-year war between the Winged and the sea race.

With the surging waves and tides of the sea, the sea race led countless marine creatures in an assault on the Winged’s territory.

Sea-race knights, riding sharks, giant whales, large crabs, seahorses, octopi, and other marine creatures, charged onto the shore.

Sea-race warriors drove fish-men, jellyfish-people, mud-men, and other intelligent races living in the ocean as cannon fodder, sending them to the shore to fight.

Instantly,

A vast horde of sea-race creatures swarmed into the Winged’s kingdom.

Fortunately, the Winged villages on the coast had been evacuated, and the civilians had been sent to the rear, so this attack did not cause any civilian casualties.

To resist the sea race and protect their homeland,

Sophia mobilized all Winged legions within the Kingdom of Losendas to go to war. The Heavenly Mountain, Lómanda, and Sophia Islands Winged legions were on standby!

She herself, wielding the Lava Sword, also went to the front lines to repel the enemy.

Since abandoning the path to godhood, Sophia had progressed far on the path of a terrestrial Legendary, and with the Lava Fire Authority sword bestowed upon her by Jano, she could be considered demigod-level combat power for the time being.

With home-field advantage, she fought evenly against the demigod-level sea-race Great Princess Themis.

In terms of high-end combat power, the several Legendary sea-race members who appeared this time were contained by the elite Winged professional legions and the Little Tortoise.

The advantage of flight was quite useful in dealing with high-level combatants.

Besides,

The Winged had established defenses in front of several cities on the coast.

They attacked in the sky and defended on the city walls.

But the sea race’s numbers were too great, making it difficult to attend to everything.

After a few months, Sophia discovered that such city defense warfare was causing too many casualties and was not conducive to utilizing the Winged's aerial advantage.

After careful consideration,

She gritted her teeth and abandoned several Winged cities built on the coast, relinquishing a portion of land to expand the strategic depth. The Winged from those cities were relocated to the far rear, while the Winged legions used various mountaintops as strongholds, inflicting maximum casualties on the enemy from the air.

After this strategic adjustment, the Winged quickly gained the upper hand.

Large numbers of the sea race who had landed were shot down by the Winged, while the sea race found it difficult to attack the Winged in the sky.

The territory the sea race had initially occupied could not be held. Even with walls and barricades, their supply lines were constantly cut off by the Winged in the sky.

The sea race found themselves in a dilemma.

Soon, they were driven back into the sea.

At this point, the Winged were helpless against the sea race in the ocean.

The sea race in the sea, like the Winged in the sky, had a complete advantage.

After fighting for some time, the two sides' territory returned to its initial state.

Seeing that the attacks were not yielding results,

Themis grew anxious, because the idea of attacking the mainland was seen by most of the sea race as unnecessary.

The sea race, who had lived in the sea for generations, did not have a strong desire for the land.

They did not care about Themis’s future blueprint; they simply obeyed due to the Sea Mother’s countless years of rule and majesty.

Helpless, Themis requested the Sea Mother’s help.

Fighting against the Winged, who possessed aerial superiority, Themis could not think of any other solution for the moment.

She hoped that the Sea Mother Charybdis would stir up the waves of the sea, flooding the east coast, turning part of the coastal area into sea, creating home-field advantage for the sea-race army to fight.

The Sea Mother was somewhat concerned that doing so would alienate the mainland races and hinder future rule over the mainland.

Because after the seawater flooded the land, the soil would become saline and unable to be farmed or harvested.

But Themis was also right.

If they could not even land, everything else would be useless.

The Sea Mother Charybdis agreed.
