The Zhao family, from top to bottom, was acutely aware that the demon tide had finally arrived. In the midst of their shock and fear, they felt an odd sense of relief. It was as if a heavy hammer, which had been suspended high in the sky, had finally fallen to the ground, and they no longer needed to live in constant dread.
According to the pre-established contingency plan, Dome Turtle and its affiliated islands all implemented scorched earth policies, with the population retreating deep into the island's settlements, leaving the periphery of the islands empty.
Meanwhile, apart from the Dome Turtle Treasure Ship and two First Rank Spirit Ships, all other ordinary ships were ordered back to the docks, and no sails were to be set to sea.
As long as they did not intentionally provoke conflict, sea demons generally would not land.
Therefore, the Zhao family's three hundred thousand clan members kept to themselves on the islands and did not venture out, temporarily safe from harm.
