After gaining the highest level of support, or rather, once the supreme leaders of the Liangxia Empire, Tiaoman Empire, and the Raleigh Kingdom had reached a consensus, by mid-March, the Tiaoman and Raleigh military forces officially commenced their military operation to advance into the Xuan Continent. However, it was far from smooth sailing.
Just as Bai Zhizhan had worried, the Bulan Kingdom did not sit and wait for death.
On March 14th, the Bulan Royal Air Force, supported by the Navy, dispatched a fighter wing of about 40 aircraft to Malta Island.
There was sufficient intelligence to confirm that these fighters had been transported to Malta via the "Royal Ark."
Subsequently, the Bulan Royal Navy began to transport troops and combat materials to Malta, intent on turning this isolated island south of the Raleigh Kingdom into a military fortress.
