"Rumble!"
The six cannons bombarded the warship for more than ten minutes, consuming more than half of the spirit stones on the warship.
Depending on the number and grade of energy stones used, the Giant Spirit Cannons could unleash a power equivalent to a rank 1 to rank 3 expert's full strength attack. Just now, Wu Kuang had unleashed his full power. Every shot was equivalent to a spirit refining expert's full strength attack. Naturally, the sea beasts were covered in blood, and the number of sea beasts that died directly or indirectly was no less than a hundred.
Compared to the speed of humans, this kind of war machine was the true harvester of life.
When the warship had consumed more than half of the spirit stones, there was no longer any meaning for the warship to stay in the void. Immediately, they stopped at a simple and dilapidated port at the top of Sea Breeze Fort.
This spaceport built in Sea Breeze Fortress was relatively small and could only accommodate eight warships. Currently, six warships were docked here, but without exception, all of them were damaged and broken. One of them was even on the verge of breaking down, and whether or not it could fly back to the blue sky was a problem.
Although Tsing Hui's warship was damaged by the Sea Wing Serpent's attack, and there were even large holes on the deck, it could still be considered the best among the warships.
"Elder Wu."
As soon as the warship docked, a man whose armor was stained with blood led a group of people to welcome them. He was one of the vice-captains of the Dragon Eagle Squad, Eagle Wing.
"Let's cut to the chase. You've already seen the situation outside the fortress. There are already three holes in the southern wall, and a section of the western wall has also collapsed. Those sea monsters can attack Sea Breeze Fortress at any time. Once we lose the geographical advantage of Sea Breeze Fortress, I'm afraid that all of us here will die here. Therefore, I'll immediately reorganize the people you brought with you and send them to the frontlines. As for you, come with me to see the City Lord."
"Okay."
Wu Yu nodded without hesitation. At the same time, he waved his hand to the people behind him. Naturally, there would be people who would lead them to the perilous defensive position.
However, after a while, he seemed to have thought of something, "Tsing Hui, stay behind. We will go see the city lord together."
Tsing Hui nodded but did not say anything.
On the other hand, the Eagle Wing looked at Tsing Hui in surprise. He didn't know why Wu Yu would allow a True Energy Realm guest elder to attend such a high-level meeting.
"Eagle Wing, you've already arrived at the Sea Breeze Fort a month ago. Have you investigated why so many sea beasts are charging towards our Sea Breeze Fort one after another? On the other hand, the number of sea beasts in the other cities is less than a tenth of ours. "
"Eldest Miss has already sent people to investigate, but they only know that these sea beasts want to go up the Dragon Roaring River and head inland. They haven't found anything else. The Dragon Roaring River is the largest river in our Dragon Whale Country. If the sea beasts really enter the Dragon Roaring River from here, the thousands of kilometers along the way will definitely be plunged into misery and suffering."
The Eagle Wing said and shook his head. "Although we haven't found out the reason why these sea beasts want to go to the Dragon Song River, we can confirm that there is a lord behind these sea beasts who is urging them to attack our Dragon Whale Kingdom."
"Lord!?"
Wu Yu's expression suddenly became serious. "The number of sea beasts attacking our Sea Breeze Fort has already reached thirty to forty thousand. There are close to a hundred rank three sea beasts. If there is a lord behind these sea beasts … it's either a rank three sacred beast or a rank four sea beast …"
"Rank four sea beasts are still manageable. If it's a rank three sacred beast … then we're in big trouble. A rank three sacred beast is only a cub. There must be a mature sacred beast behind it. And a mature sacred beast … the weakest one is equivalent to a rank seven sacred beast. If it's an outstanding one with a powerful bloodline, it won't be difficult for it to grow into a sacred beast … or even a dominator of the sea or a supreme beast …"
"Have you asked for help from the nearby cities?"
"It's useless … it's not just our Sea Breeze Fort. All the places with coastal rivers on the Dragon Whale Island have been attacked. It's just that those places are not as strong as our Sea Breeze Fort. But in this way, those forts have an excuse to refuse to provide us with reinforcements."
"What did the king say?"
"He sent three envoys … yesterday, when the sea beasts attacked, one died, one was injured, and one escaped."
The Eagle Wing's expression was unsightly. In the end, he added in a mocking tone, "Of course, when he said that one escaped, he used the excuse of reporting the situation to the king."
As they spoke, the three of them had already arrived at the tower at the front of the fort.
At the tower, Dan Taiting's body was also covered in blood. It was obvious that at this crucial moment, even he, the city lord, had to personally go down to fight with the sea beasts.
Other than Dan Taiting, there were a few true qi and spirit refining cultivators present. What surprised Tsing Hui was that even Dan Taiyu was present.
Seeing Tsing Hui's arrival, Dan Taiyu even gave him a playful wink as a greeting.
"Wu Yu, you've come at the right time."
Seeing Wu Yu, Dan Taiting nodded his head solemnly. However, when he saw Tsing Hui behind Wu Yu, he was somewhat puzzled, but he did not say anything. Since Tsing Hui was brought here by Wu Yu, he naturally had his reasons.
Tantai Ting immediately opened up a River Map. "Sea Breeze Fortress is not easy to defend. If we continue to defend it, not to mention that the walls of Sea Breeze Fortress can withstand a few waves of attacks from the sea beasts, even our guards won't be able to hold on for much longer without rest. We have to let some sea beasts enter Dragon Chant River! On one hand, we need to follow the sea beasts to see what they're planning. On the other hand, we need to lengthen the battle line, allowing us to have a certain amount of space. "
"Let the sea beasts enter the Dragon Chant River!?"
Wu Yu's face changed greatly, "Once we open the river gate, it will not be easy to close it again. If we're not careful, those sea beasts will swarm in, and at that time … …"
"The river is different from the sea. In the sea, the sea beasts can control the water to fight, and their battle strength is fierce. However, in the river, although the water is also torrential, it is not as abundant as the sea. If we can think of a way to lure them to the river bank, their strength will be reduced, and it will be much easier for us to deal with them. During this time, I have already evacuated all the residents within three hundred kilometers of the Dragon Chant River. As long as we ensure that the battlefield is controlled within three hundred kilometers, it won't cause too much of a disaster … …"
Speaking till here, Dan Taiting's tone slightly paused, "Now, the most important tasks are three. First, who will continue to guard Sea Breeze Fort. Second, who will be responsible for closing the river gate. Last, who will be responsible for leading the troops to kill those sea beasts that enter the Dragon Chant River."
"As you command, city lord."
"Leave the task of leading the troops to kill those sea beasts that enter the Dragon Chant River to me."
At this time, a slightly cold voice came from downstairs. Then, a woman with a ponytail, dressed in silver armor, and holding a long sword that was as tall as a person strode over.
Although this woman was wearing a full body armor, it was not as delicate and beautiful as an ordinary woman wearing a long skirt. However, her body and face were exquisite, and she was tall and slender, filled with a kind of valiant and formidable aura.
"Eldest miss."
Seeing this woman, apart from Dan Taiting, everyone in the room saluted at the same time. Even Wu Yu was no exception.
Dan Taiting.
The eldest daughter of North Sea City's city lord, Dan Taiting. Among the three children, she was the only one who had cultivated to the Spirit Refining realm. Moreover, she had cultivated Spirit rank aura qi.
"You are responsible for leading the troops to kill those sea beasts that enter the Dragon Chant River … …"
"Not bad."
Dan Taiying's gaze swept across everyone and stopped on Tsing Hui for a moment. However, his gaze quickly landed on Dan Taiting again, "Once the river gate is opened, it will be extremely difficult to close it again. Only the strongest among us have the hope of closing the river gate. In terms of cultivation, none of us can compare to you, father. Thus, you are the best candidate to close the river gate. As for Hai Feng Fortress, let Steward Wu take charge. Steward Wu's understanding of everyone is not weaker than any of us. It is not impossible for him to command the battle."
"I can't guarantee the number of sea beasts that enter the Dragon Chant River … … it is too dangerous for you to go kill them … …"
"Other than me, there is no other suitable candidate."
Dan Taiying said firmly, "If father is not at ease, send the Eagle Wing to me. With us two Spirit Refining cultivators, as long as we are careful, any sea beasts or spirit beasts can be killed."
"Let Dong Bo bring his team and go with you. In your team, there is also Yu 'er. Both of my daughters are in there. I must ensure your safety."
Dan Taiting said and looked at Dan Taiyu.
"No need, closing the river gate is the most dangerous part of the plan. We only have eight Spirit Refining cultivators here. Among them, Wang Fu is seriously injured and is unable to fight. That means there are only seven people left. Seven people, excluding the two of us, there are only five left. The five of us have to guard Hai Feng Fortress and open and close the river gate. Our manpower is already very tight. How can I bring Dong Bo along?"
"But … …"
"As long as father closes the river gate in time and does not let too many rank three spirit beasts in, we will not be in danger. Thus, the key is still on you."
Before Dan Taiting could speak, he was interrupted by Dan Taiying.
At this time, Wu Yu suddenly said, "Let Tsing Hui King and big miss's team go together."
"Tsing Hui King?"
Wu Yu's words made everyone's gaze fall on Tsing Hui, the True Qi realm guest elder.
Wu Kuang did not stop there either. He continued, "The guest elder of Qing Xu is only a true qi cultivator, but he cultivates saint grade true qi. According to my observations, his saint grade true qi has already reached great mastery. His battle prowess is no weaker than any cultivator who has cultivated qi and formed energy. With the guest elder of Qing Xu, your group will be equivalent to having three great spirit refining cultivators. Your safety will be guaranteed."
"Is this true!?"
"Large success holy grade Qi!?"
"En!?"
As soon as Wu Yu finished speaking, Dan Taiying and Dan Taiting were moved. Even Dan Taiyu looked at Tsing Hui in surprise.
She had only managed to cultivate saint grade true qi by chance, so her progress after that was extremely slow. On the other hand, not only had Qing Xu cultivated saint grade true qi, he had even reached great accomplishment and great perfection. If he could take another step forward and condense saint grade true qi …
His future was limitless!
"Absolutely true."
Wu Yu said seriously.
"Good!"
Tantai Ting agreed heavily, "Guest elder of Qing Xu, if you and my two daughters can return safely, I will promote you to an upper guest elder of North Sea City. You will be free to read all the records in the city, and you will have the right to purchase some of the precious resources on Dragonwhale Island."
"I will do my best."
Tsing Hui nodded slightly.
His Golden Crow Qi had just formed and needed to be tempered by actual combat.
"There is no time to lose. Let's go and prepare to let the sea beasts enter the river."
