In order to loot and devour the Yellow Springs branch, the players had made many preparations in advance. They were also waiting for the right time, which was the Sea King's feedback.
In fact, with the Player Clan's influence in the Devouring Seas, they could easily carry out the next step of the Devouring Underworld branch.
However, the Sea King gestured for the players to wait and not act rashly.
The Sea King also gave an explanation.
The reason was the emissary from the headquarters stationed at the Yellow Springs Devourer branch!
Although this emissary usually wouldn't interfere with the matters of the Devour branch, his duty was to report the situation of every phase of the Devour branch to the headquarters.
In other words, this envoy has the ability to directly communicate with the Huang Quan headquarters.
Back then, there were also the President, Elder Ying and the others who had such abilities, but at the current stage, only this Emissary had it.
If players attacked at this time, they would have to face the envoys from the headquarters.
This would increase the risk. Putting aside the strength of the emissary, if the emissary chose to contact the headquarters immediately and request for reinforcements, there was a high possibility that the gods from the headquarters would tear through space and come over.
At that time, the plan would definitely fall short of success and fail completely.
Therefore, according to the Sea King, they had to wait for the messenger to leave first.
And this would happen very soon. This envoy had served for ten years and was about to return to the Yellow Springs headquarters. At that time, a new envoy would arrive!
The reason why the Yellow Springs headquarters had set up a ten-year rotation of envoys was to prevent envoys from using their authority to seek benefits within the branch. The longer they stayed, the deeper their foundation would become. That was why they had set up a ten-year rotation, allowing the envoys to move to a new branch to continue their stay.
The reason why the Sea King had such a bold plan was precisely because of this timing!
The absence of the emissary was the best time for him to work together with the Player Clan. When that time came, no one in the Devour Branch would be able to contact the headquarters, and no reinforcements would arrive. The risk would also be reduced to a minimum!
After understanding the reason, the players waited patiently.
Actually, the players were not in a hurry because the Devouring Ocean had special products that the Void Ocean and the Kuilong Ocean didn't have. For example, different spiritual fishes, different spiritual materials, and so on. There were many new things waiting for them to explore …
There were even players who began to collect information on the creatures in the Engulfed Sea, creating illustrations and selling them to the players who were ambitious enough to create the Encyclopedia of Battle Creatures.
While waiting, the players could find their own entertainment.
During this period of time, he also suppressed the various major forces that were originally extremely powerful in the Devouring Sea. His days could be said to be carefree.
However, the Sea King's response soon arrived.
On the thirteenth day of waiting, the emissary bade farewell to the Sea King and the members of the Devour Branch and headed to the Yellow Springs Headquarters to report.
The Sea King immediately sent a messenger to inform the players.
At this moment, the restless hearts of the players were ignited, and they quickly began to organize themselves.
There were all sorts of shouts in the live chat channel, signaling the players who were active in the Devoured Sea to return and prepare to cause trouble!
After a day of preparation, the players followed the agreement with the Sea King and officially launched an all-out attack on the Netherworld Devourer's branch.
This battle shocked the entire Devouring Sea Region.
The leaders of the major forces all sent scouts to the Devour branch to investigate the specific situation of the battle.
However, by the time the news spread throughout the Devouring Sea, the war had already ended.
The news that the leaders of the major forces received was that the Calamity Tribe had once again displayed their powerful combat power in this battle. Even though the Devouring Division had the Ocean King's Mu Te War Chamber of Commerce overseeing it, they were still no match for the Calamity Tribe.
The reason this battle ended was because the Calamity Race couldn't break through the defensive barrier of the Devour Branch Division, so they chose to retreat!
However, the Devouring Sea's various powers hadn't expected such an outcome.
From their point of view, the Calamity Tribe had already invaded the Netherworld Headquarters. No matter what, a god from the headquarters should have come to their aid.
Hence, when they received the news that the Calamity Tribe had safely retreated, they couldn't believe it. It was really beyond their expectations.
…
At this time, on the main island of the Netherworld Devour Branch.
After the battle ended, apart from the barrier at the center of the island that wasn't affected, the outside was a mess.
Most of the resources stored in the outer ring of the island had been plundered. Fortunately, the resources in the inner ring were still intact due to the protection of the barrier.
However, this battle had also shocked the middle and lower level officers on the island.
During this period of time, they had also heard that a foreign plundering force had entered the Devouring Sea.
However, they didn't take this to heart.
This was because no matter how far away a force was, they would definitely have heard of the Netherworld Merchant Guild's name. They wouldn't have the guts to come and offend them unless they really wanted to be exterminated.
However, the reality was that this force had only arrived for less than a month before suddenly attacking and began to wantonly plunder the resources on the island.
Fortunately, the Sea King's Mu Te Army was stationed here this time. After fighting with this force for a long time, many members were able to safely retreat into the barrier. Otherwise, they would definitely have lost their lives!
At this moment, the middle and lower level officers whose lives were saved by the Sea King changed their attitude towards the Sea King.
This was exactly what the players and the Sea King wanted to see.
What he wanted was for them to willingly take out their supplies!
In the following days, the main island of the Devouring Sea branch was attacked by the players many times. Although it wasn't breached due to the existence of the defensive barrier, it was inevitable that it would be breached if this continued.
At this moment, the officers of the Devouring Sea branch on the island were filled with worry.
At this stage, the only thing that could give them a sense of security was the Sea King, whom they had previously disliked.
During this period of time, the Sea King's acting skills were off the charts. He put his promise into action.
Protect your safety!
In the following few confrontations, the Sea King led his troops into battle several times in order to prevent the barrier from being breached. During this period, he consumed a lot of resources.
At this moment, before the Sea King could say anything, the middle and lower level officers who had objected to the Sea King taking resources from the Devouring Sea branch took the initiative to request for material subsidies.
The Sea King didn't decline and decisively accepted the batches of resources. At the same time, he started to build a munitions factory within the barrier to mass produce strategic resources.
In reality, these munitions factories didn't produce much strategic equipment at all. It was just a pretense to consume resources.
The Sea King's method of transporting resources was also very simple.
As the defensive barrier needed time to recover, someone had to delay the Calamity Race's attack during the self-recovery period.
This reason was also the best excuse for the Sea King to take the initiative to attack.
Using the self-recovery of the protective barrier as an excuse, the Sea King took the initiative to attack several times. He fought with the players in the blind spots of the officers of the Devouring Sea branch and distributed the resources to the players in batches.
Although there were many forces in the nearby sea region watching the battle from afar, the Sea King knew that the players had space-type tools. Hence, it was very easy for him to hide the resources.
Just like that, the players' wallets gradually filled up as they transported resources in collusion.
However, in the eyes of the middle and lower level officers, these resources were all used up in the battle.
During this period, they also went to the munitions factory built by the Sea King to observe and discovered that there weren't many resources left inside. Hence, they once again gave the Sea King a large amount of resources to use in the battle against the Calamity Race.
At this time, the Sea King had become their only hope of survival.
As for resources, no matter how precious they were, they weren't as important as their own lives. As long as they could survive, they didn't care about the resources being used up.
It could be said that the Sea King's plan was carried out perfectly!
However, as the battle dragged on, a problem became apparent.
And that was the problem of casualties!
Since it was a war, it was impossible for there to be no deaths. Otherwise, it would definitely raise suspicions over time.
Another problem was that the players turned into black fog after they died and didn't have any corpses.
After all, the characteristics of the black fog that the players turned into after they died were too obvious. Even if the forces of the Devouring Sea had never seen it with their own eyes, they would be able to find out after asking around.
However, this problem wasn't a difficult one for the players at all.
The omnipotent shopping mall came in handy again.
There was a type of tool in the shop called the Substitute Puppet. After using it, the puppet would change into the player's appearance without any flaws. Hence, the problem of having no corpses after death was solved.
On the other hand, the Sea King had his own solution.
Although he was a member of the Mu Te Clan, the Sea King's power originated from death. His current power was the Lord of Death who plundered from the depths of the Void Ocean.
Creating the illusion of death was a piece of cake for him.
Not only could he make the soldiers fake their deaths, but he could also make the soldiers look rotten and smelly. He could totally deceive everyone.
Even if the middle and lower level officers of the island came to check, they wouldn't be able to find any flaws.
This was because the Sea King made his soldiers fake their deaths in order to turn them into members of the Death Clan. However, the Sea King stopped the last step and made them fall into a state of half-life and half-death. They couldn't sense the outside world and were equivalent to dead people.
Although the officers of the island wouldn't check the corpses carefully, the Sea King did this for the sake of insurance.
The officers of the branch could only see the Sea King's soldiers dying in large numbers after every battle with the Calamity Clan. The rotten corpses were constantly transported back, and some of them were even badly mutilated. They could really feel the cruelty of the battle.
The only thing they could do was to continue to compensate the Sea King with resources.
At this moment, the Sea King didn't even need to say anything. They even took the initiative to open the resource vault and told the Sea King that he could take whatever resources he needed!
It could be said that the Sea King's status in the Chamber of Commerce had reached its peak because of the external pressure exerted by the players.
Suddenly, with the departure of the emissary, the middle and lower level officers no longer had any means to contact the headquarters. At this moment, the Sea King was like a guardian in their eyes.
After going back and forth several times, the players had taken away more than half of the resources inside the island.
However, to the players, this was just the beginning.
How did the saying go?
First, the tycoons would fork out the money and the people would donate. Only when the tycoons donated would the people follow suit. Once the money was in their hands, the tycoons' money would be returned in full, and the people's money would be split 30: 70.
This was a brilliant way to accumulate wealth.
At this stage, the tycoons were the Underworld branch of the Devour, which was also the Sea King. Naturally, the people were the major forces in the Devour.
This time, the plan was to make the major forces in the nearby seas take the bait.
For this, the Sea King sent several emissaries to the major forces to ask for support.
At the same time, he took out a formation blueprint that he had prepared long ago.
The formation depicted on the blueprint would be the key to annihilating the Calamity Clan. However, to set up this formation, he would need to consume a large amount of spiritual materials!
Everything was ready. All he needed was a rich man to take the bait!
