It felt like a bunch of revelers were living in a dream.
The others might think Michael had shown off his strength and eliminated the Undead Emperor, but Mofan knew better than anyone that the Emperor had chosen to leave on his own accord.
Michael was no match for Zhan Kong. Zhan Kong had already had the upper hand when he set foot in the Sacred Residence.
However, everyone believed what they had seen with their own eyes, including Michael and the Sacred City Mages. It was exactly what they wanted.
It was a day of celebration, but Mofan was amused by it.
The more unwilling they were to face the cruel reality, the more they would walk into a quagmire. They would not be able to break free from it and slowly walk toward their own demise.
…
After leaving the Sacred Residence, Mofan reverted to his original appearance.
Things had not gone as he had wished. He thought he could do something about it, but it turned out that there was no need for him to do anything.
Colorful lights kept flickering in the sky of the Sacred City throughout the night. It seemed like the Sacred City had long prepared for the triumphant return of the Angel Warriors to celebrate the great Michael's return.
Mofan could not stand listening to it any longer. He left in the middle of the night.
He still had to continue on his path. Mo Fan only wanted to immerse himself in cultivation for a while. On one hand, he wanted to improve his strength, and on the other hand, he wanted to forget about the incident.
…
The duel with Zu Xiangtian was only a month away. Mofan did not go anywhere during the month. He was cultivating in seclusion at Fanxue Mountain with Mu Ningxue.
Strange things had happened all over the world. The sea monsters kept invading the coastlines of the country. The battles had extended from the Dalian Ocean Battlefield in the north to the Hainan Island in the south.
That included Feiniao Base City. Half of the new city had been razed to the ground by a winter tide not long after it had been built. All kinds of sea monsters that had never been seen before had appeared. The battles along the coastline had never stopped.
China had a coastline of twenty thousand kilometers. It had to be said that China was one of the countries that suffered the most damage from the sea monsters …
Compared with Japan, which had been dealing with marine life for a long time, almost every magician in Japan was good at naval warfare. Although they could be said to be under attack from all sides, the situation was not as bad as imagined.
On this day, Cao Qinqin, who had gone to Japan to study marine prevention, had already returned. It just so happened that Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue had also finished their closed-door cultivation.
The core members of Fanxue Mountain were surprised when the two of them showed up at the meeting. They quickly repeated the things they had discussed before.
"Half of the Flying Bird Naval Fortress has been destroyed. We don't know how long it'll take to rebuild it. The base city might need to transfer some Mages from our side to take on some dangerous missions," Mu Linsheng said.
"It was destroyed before it was even built. The Sirens seemed to know that the Naval Battle City would be the biggest obstacle for them to enter Headquarter City, so they kept attacking. The seawater five kilometers away from Feiniao City is stinking. It's either the corpses of Mages or the Sirens, "Bai Hongfei said.
"It's not a wise choice to use the Dark Bamboo Reefs as the foundation of the naval battle city. The Sea Monsters that have appeared recently are all very strong. It's said that they usually use the solid reefs to hone their claws. As long as they rush into the naval battle city, they will smash our Dark Bamboo Reefs into pieces like a tank. Many Mages won't have a place to stay," Cao Qinqin said.
"The Dark Bamboo Reefs are the best foundation. Otherwise, how are we going to let the buildings float on the surface of the sea? We can't possibly build bricks that are as deep as the sea, right?" a manager in charge of the Naval Battle City said.
"Master, haven't you been to the East Maritime Battle City in Japan?" Cao Qinqin asked Mo Fan.
"Mm, I have," Mo Fan nodded. "What's wrong?"
"Do you feel like you can't fight freely in the East Maritime Battle City since you can't swim?" Cao Qinqin asked.
Mo Fan tried to recall what had happened.
As a matter of fact, the East Maritime Fortress in Japan was well-constructed. It looked like a model city, but every building, street, and block was arranged in an orderly manner. As a result, Mo Fan, who was a non-swimmer, was not restricted by the East Maritime Fortress.
"No, there's always a place for me to stay," Mo Fan said.
"Japan doesn't have that many Water Mages, but they are good at using the environment of the Naval Battle City to deal with the Sirens. The Naval Battle City in Feiniao City is too focused on stopping the Sirens from invading, but we have forgotten how to let Mages of different Elements utilize their abilities, "Cao Qinqin said.
Mu Ningxue nodded and said to the others, "The East Maritime Battle City in Japan has two dams. The first dam is very short, and the tide can easily reach it. It feels like we're opening a door to let the Sirens in. The second dam is extremely high, and serves as an important line of defense between the city and the Naval Battle City. Every combatant is fighting the Sirens between the two dams."
"We've always been on guard, trying to prevent the Sirens from sneaking in. However, the shoreline is so long, and the materials we have are limited. We can't afford to build an impenetrable dam over a few thousand kilometers long. Since we know the Sirens are going to show up, why don't we just open a gap and let the Sirens in? We can decide the outcome of the battle at the designated spot," Cao Qinqin said.
"Cao Qinqin, weren't we talking about the reef …" Bai Hongfei changed the topic.
Fanxue Mountain did not have the final say in the construction of the Naval Battle City.
Even the Councilmen of Feiniao City would think Fanxue Mountain was out of their minds if they were to open a gap and let the Sirens in!
"It's easy to deal with the reef. Didn't Sister Xue bring some Blue Ocean Trees back from Greece? They can grow very quickly, and their roots can intertwine under the water. Therefore, if we plant the seeds of the Blue Ocean Trees in the Naval Battle City during the reconstruction, it will form a protective net under the water like a forest. The Sirens will have a hard time destroying the Naval Battle City's foundation," Cao Qinqin said.
"That's right, we can plant plants under the water! Very well, those cunning people have asked Fanxue Mountain to solve the problem, but I couldn't come up with a better plan … the Blue Ocean Trees are very useful! "Mu Zhuoyun said.
"The Blue Ocean Trees are able to grow on the surface of the water. We can plant more seeds of the Blue Ocean Trees in the reconstruction of the Feiniao Fortress and let them grow between the buildings. It will give the Mages more space to move around."
Mo Fan nodded in agreement.
