CHAPTER 429: THE GRAND ALLIANCE ASSEMBLED
A brilliant golden dawn rose over the northern coastal harbor, casting long amber rays across five hundred massive iron-reinforced warships anchored in the bay.
Along the rocky shoreline stretched an ocean of armed warriors, one hundred thousand strong, their banners fluttering proudly in the crisp sea breeze.
For the first time in recorded history, the armies of all five corners of the continent stood united beneath a single, sovereign standard.
The united flag of Tasaka flew from every masthead, displaying the ancient golden sun encircled by the radiant silver void blade.
At the eastern drydocks, Chief Tendai Mbeki and Banga supervised the final installation of Molakwa's kinetic barrier cannons along the heavy wooden gunwales.
Each warship had been reinforced with silver-veined kinetic shields, designed to absorb the crushing impact of Lanka's automated coastal artillery.
