"Intelligence indicates that the Tang Empire battleships have appeared near Linshui Port. They have never been there before." A Mirage Country officer stood behind Admiral Shen Haiping, reporting the latest intelligence on Tang Army movements.

Merchant ships from all over the world congregate at Linshui. Equipped with radios, they relay information back to their countries or mention bits and pieces of intelligence during casual communication.
