"Sir, killing them is a bit..." Brad looked at the man beside him and said, "We don't need so many prisoners. What will we do if they manage to escape and we've taken control of this city?"
"That makes sense; proceed," replied the man.
Darío watched as hundreds of soldiers were lined up, all of them closing their eyes with the sole thought that their families would remain alive.
"For our nation, for those who have been killed by these people, We didn't start this war, but we will finish it. Now we'll begin to change things," shouted Brad, who gave the order for these soldiers to be eliminated.
In just a fraction of a second, all the heads of the enemy soldiers were cut off. Many witnessed this bloody scene, and there were cries like oaths of revenge.
"You have no right to talk about revenge when you are the invaders." The plan was to leave at least the civilians alive; they would work for the Water Nation and, after a set period, would be exchanged for prisoners of war.
Anyone who wants to survive will need to be useful. If they become a burden, they will be eliminated to avoid problems. At this moment, all enemy cruisers would become part of the Water Nation and, with certain modifications, would be put into operation.
"What should we do with the island?" Brad looked at Darío, who had the blueprints for the island and was in charge of designing the new city.
Looking at the city's blueprints, Darío said, "The houses are in good condition, but most of them must be eliminated because this city is not designed to withstand enemy attacks. We'll have to modify the entire outer ring and adapt the city to our abilities to enhance our defense effectiveness."
"We'll start dismantling the houses and taking useful things, and the main thing now is to create a wall efficient enough to establish an initial defense."
With the idea of a wall in mind, everyone started working. The main thing they had to do was build a port where they would keep the cruisers protected and, beyond the walls, a special area where they would have fish hatcheries.
The important thing now is to move the submarines to unload supplies and move the most dangerous prisoners to the old prison, where their abilities were limited.
Later, they would start establishing a travel channel and expand their fleet to other places to begin forming alliances with islands that lived in fear of being attacked.
Once all this is done, the mission to protect the seas will begin, thus avoiding attacks by the enemy nation. If they can maintain this, communications would begin with the Earth Nation.
But according to Thorian's plans, the first thing was to endure and establish defenses correctly. Creating bases along the South where at least a hundred soldiers were stationed and creating more maximum-security prisons to place those soldiers who should not be killed.
...
In the South Pole, all the tribes had joined Thorian's coalition except for two, one that feared repeating the same events as in the past and another that believed the union would completely change the values for which they had separated from the North.
The truth is that these two villages would end up joining the nation created by all those in the South because not only did they jeopardize the plans that had been created, but they were also at risk of facing retaliation.
And without anyone noticing, a cruiser from the Fire Nation moved through the Southern Seas despite continuous warnings of potential attacks by enemy forces.
"It must be around here," said a young man with a scar on his eye.
"If you don't find what you're looking for, we'll have to leave this place. There's a very lively war going on here, and it seems like the South is showing its claws," said an old man while having his dinner.
But at that moment, the world seemed to sense the arrival of something, and the room where the young man was examining some charts began to shake when suddenly all those ancient figures began to glow.
"He's here..."
The young man ran out of the cruiser and watched as the sky lit up with a white light, announcing the arrival of what he was looking for.
Only a few weren't scared; those who were nearby looked at what was shining, and many thought about abandoning this mission they had been entrusted with. However, since they had to follow the prince, they had no choice.
On the other hand, the young prince, who was the center of attention, felt strange, like being the only person who knew what was happening. However, knowing that he was closer to the mission his father had entrusted him with, he knew that everything was about to end.
