"Some nations, facing the fiercest assaults and direst situations, even ceded most of their territories, suffering huge losses."
"Thanks to the trait that Ocean Ruin Beasts cannot stay too far or too long away from the sea, these nations barely managed to preserve their sovereignty, but their territories greatly shrank, their populations dwindled, and their national strength suffered immensely!"
"These coastal nations getting no benefit along the coast and losing territories, where can they make up for the losses?"
"Inland!"
"As early as mid-July, coastal nations began expanding inland one after another, robbing Peter to pay Paul, unable to defeat the Ocean Ruin Beasts and contend with the endless Four Oceans Ruin Beasts. But the inland areas once neglected, now with most of the maritime nations freeing up territories and manpower, can certainly be conquered, and are indeed easier to deal with than the Ocean Ruin Beasts."
"War, chaos!"
