Foka Tower was located in the middle of the Great Eastern Continent. It was one of the most dangerous places on the continent.
Unlike other dangerous places on the continent, Foka Tower wasn't chaotic. Its order was even better than White Arrow Port.
The reason why it was dangerous was that Foka Tower was connected to the trench of the White Nightmare Sea.
Foka Tower and the White Nightmare Sea Trench used to be plains in the middle of the Great Eastern Continent. It was mainly pasture land, and it was the most developed area for animal husbandry on the continent.
Before the Hundred Years War, the marine beast army of the White Nightmare Sea launched a large-scale attack and engaged in a fierce battle with the Great Eastern Continent's allied forces.
What was left behind was a huge trench. The seawater of the White Nightmare Sea gushed in and formed the White Nightmare Sea Trench.
Looking down from the sky, the White Nightmare Sea Trench was like an ugly scar on the Great Eastern Continent that showed no signs of healing.
It was also because of the White Nightmare Sea Trench that the marine beasts of the White Nightmare Sea would come ashore from time to time. They wanted to venture deep into the Great Eastern Continent, but they were repelled by the garrison here time and time again.
After that, the various countries of the Great Eastern Continent thought of a solution. They built a line of defense here to defend against the marine beasts that invaded from time to time.
This line of defense was the predecessor of Foka Tower.
As time passed, this line of defense grew taller and taller. At first, it was a series of fortifications, and later, it became a fortress.
By the Hundred Years War, it had become a sizable city. The towering city walls were like a rampart that blocked the White Nightmare Sea Trench from entering.
Now, this city was like a tower that stood tall in the middle of the Great Eastern Continent. This was the origin of Foka Tower.
Compared to other cities on the continent, Foka Tower's armed forces were extremely powerful. Troops could be seen everywhere to maintain order, and its security could be said to be the strongest among the major cities on the continent.
However, due to the occasional appearance of marine beast army spies, this city was filled with danger at all times.
Because of this, Foka Tower was known as one of the most dangerous cities on the continent.
Moreover, because this city was built layer by layer from the continuous fortifications, it was also the tallest city on the continent.
…
Late at night.
The sea breeze from the White Nightmare Sea blew over the Foka Tower. The nights here were very cold. During the day, the temperature was around 40 degrees Celsius, but at night, it dropped to zero degrees Celsius.
Such a difference in temperature was unbearable for the creatures that had just arrived in this city. The influenza here never showed any signs of stopping, wave after wave.
As a result, the living beings on the street all wore semi-sealed sensory goggles, mainly used to filter the air.
The streets at night were filled with a humid fog. Flashing neon lights interweaved into one. From time to time, holographic light and shadow flashed in the air, and the noise rose and fell.
In the city, the old and new buildings weren't separated. Instead, they were built one after another. This was the unique characteristic of the Faka Tower.
The reason for this was that battles would break out from time to time. If a building was accidentally destroyed, a new one would naturally have to be built.
Because of this, the construction team's business had always been popular in the Foka Tower. The salary of the construction company here was ten times that of other cities.
The eastern part of the city was also the highest part of the Foka Spire. This was the wealthy district and also the stronghold of the major factions.
In a luxurious villa, a strange sound came from the bedroom, echoing in the soundproof room. A woman's tender moans and a man's rough breathing rose and fell, making one's blood boil.
On the large bed, a muscular man was lying on top of a beautiful woman, constantly roaring in excitement. His body trembled violently, sweat pouring down like rain. He was plowing with all his might.
"Huff, huff, huff …"
Vogt's eyes were red. He was trying his best to perform. After tonight, he would lead his troops to the White Nightmare Trench and be stationed at the front line for half a month. He wanted to satisfy this seductive little wife.
Otherwise, he was worried that within this half a month, his head would be horrifyingly green.
He had been in love with his wife Marqiao for two years and married for a year. The two of them had sex less than a month after knowing each other. Logically speaking, as long as they were together, they could not avoid a night of madness, but Vogt just didn't feel tired.
Especially in this year, his wife had become more and more beautiful. When they were in bed, even with Vogt's level-four strength, he couldn't satisfy her.
This made Vogt very worried. He had a feeling that his wife would secretly find another man.
Therefore, he was very worried about this half a month's garrison mission, so he could only do his best in bed.
Finally, amidst a series of wild screams, the two stopped. Vogt lay on his side, looking at his wife with her back to him. He stroked the butterfly-like bones on his back with an infatuated look on his face.
"Marqiao, in half a month, when the garrison mission is over, I'll be back immediately. I promise I'll be back on the same day … "Vogt murmured.
"My dear Vogt, you don't have to be like this. I'll go with you …" Marqiao's voice sounded.
Vogt was stunned. He felt that his wife's voice was a little shrill, not quite the same as usual.
He was about to say something, but when he opened his mouth, his abdomen churned, as if something was wriggling. A dark green liquid emitted a fishy smell, as if a round egg was rolling.
"This …"
Vogt's eyes widened. His many years of military alertness made him realize that something was wrong, and he wanted to jump out of bed.
However, he found that his entire body seemed to have sunk into a swamp, and he could not move at all. He blinked his eyes, and his pupils quickly turned dark green. Fine scales grew on his limbs, like fish scales.
Bang!
His body, covered in mucus, slid off the bed. Vogt's mind was blank, occupied by a strange sound. Then, he let out a shrill cry, and kept spitting out dark green liquid.
A moment later, Vogt's entire body was covered in scales. He stood up, his mouth gurgling as he bowed to Marqiao, who had put on her pajamas.
"It really wasn't easy! My dear husband, Vogt, took three whole years to successfully convert you … "Marqiao smiled.
She was a beautiful woman, exactly the same as the picture on the wall. The only difference was that her ears were like fins, and her cheeks were also covered in fine scales.
"Coo coo coo …" Vogt let out a cry, as if he was conveying something.
"Quickly get used to this body and get ready. There are still a few hours before we set off at dawn …" Marqiao said softly, her voice strangely sharp.
Bang …
The wind howled, flapping against the windows. Another gust of wind blew across the White Sea Trench, sweeping through the Foka Tower.
"Dear passengers, we will arrive at the Foka Tower in approximately 32 hours and 34 minutes …"
The hover train would occasionally broadcast the exact time of arrival.
This was the hover train line that connected the Eastern Continent directly to the Foka Tower. It was also the safest way to reach the city.
The Foka Tower was completely different from Davo City. Although the latter was located at the intersection of three seas, it was once the base of the Dragon Army, and it was also the hub of the continent's maritime transportation. It was also very far from the seas where powerful sea beasts roamed.
Thus, in history, the battles that broke out near Davo City were all long-distance journeys by sea beasts, which were equivalent to expeditions.
However, the Foka Tower was different. Less than five hundred nautical miles from the White Sea Trench was the gathering place of the sea beasts of the White Nightmare Sea.
That was also the reason why such a tragic war had broken out there back then.
It was undoubtedly foolish to travel to the Foka Tower by water. Since ancient times, who knew how many battles had broken out on the sea route, causing the sea route to the Foka Tower to become useless.
As for the airship route, it was even more dangerous …
Although the mechanical technology of the sea beasts could not compare to that of the races on land, the war on land and sea had lasted for a long time, and they had developed heavy and long-range weapons.
Especially the long-range heavy cannons. The technology of the sea beasts was not inferior to that of the races on land. If one were to be shot in the air, it would be worse than sailing on the sea.
Thus, taking the reinforced hover train was the safest way to reach the Foka Tower.
Of course, one could also choose to travel by road. Apart from facing the ferocious beasts in the wilderness and the occasional appearance of the sea beast scouts, there was no other danger.
On the train, Hayashi River was in the VIP room. He was going to the Foka Tower as himself.
"Hayashi River, investigate this matter properly when you arrive at the Foka Tower. It's fine if the sea beasts did it, but if it's someone else, hmph …"
On the light screen on the table, Master Barce had a cold expression as he instructed Hayashi River on the things he needed to pay attention to. His tone was so cold that it was the first time Hayashi River had seen him so angry.
"Don't worry, Master Barce. I'll investigate carefully. I'll get back to you as soon as I have results, "Hayashi River said.
"You have to pay attention to your own safety when you get there. I've already communicated with the armed forces stationed there. They'll send a team to protect your safety," Master Barce continued to instruct.
Hayashi River nodded. He looked at his teacher's twitching face and comforted him. He took out the latest research results to divert Master Barce's attention and make him look better.
Hayashi River wanted to go to the Foka Tower anonymously, but he did not expect to receive news from Master Barce, Teacher Tie Yin, and Teacher Teixo. They wanted him to be in charge of rebuilding the mechanical hive's workshop there.
Not long ago, there was a tragedy in the Foka Tower. It was said that it was caused by a spy from the sea beast army, and an entire street was destroyed.
There was a mechanical workshop built by the mechanical hive on that street. The mechanics and mechanics inside were seriously injured, and one of them died the day before.
Admittedly, the mechanical workshop was very small. There was only one mechanic and two mechanics.
According to the information from the mechanical hive, the mechanic who died did not die from his injuries. Instead, he was too frightened, which triggered his cerebrovascular disease and old age.
The workshop that the mechanical hive built in the Foka Tower was actually a stronghold. It did not have any use at all.
However, the workshop set up in the two great mechanical cities of the Eastern Continent represented the mechanical hive.
Now that the workshop had been destroyed and someone had died, the mechanical hive had to deal with this matter seriously.
Hayashi River happened to be heading there, so he accepted the mechanical assistance letter. After Master Barce received the news, he contacted him a few times and instructed him to pay attention to the details.
"Master Barce, don't worry. I'll pay attention when I get there. The new location of the workshop is in the east of the Foka Tower, right? Isn't that the safest place? I'll be fine. Moreover, if the mechanical assistance letter is done well, I can make it in time for the Mechanic star rating at the end of the year. I'll be promoted to a One-Star Mechanic next year, "Hayashi River said.
Hearing Hayashi River's words, Master Barce's previous worries disappeared. He cursed softly. He had been annoyed by Teixo for the past month. The latter would harass him whenever he had nothing to do, wanting Hayashi River to go to the Furnace Hammer.
