Chapter 579: Attacking Rising City (Please Subscribe)_1
The Soul Masters who were feasting on roasted fish all had looks of disdain on their faces as they said, "What sea soul beasts, these creatures must have been scared silly!"
"Exactly, let's not bother with them and continue eating meat!"
"Maybe they're trying to scare us off with this trick so they can secretly eat our fish!"
"Keep eating, keep eating! It's so damn delicious!"
...…
A few hours later, the entire camp was littered with corpses! It was barely discernible that these were the very Soul Masters who were guarding Rising City!!!
At the same time, not only on the shores of the East Blue, but their camp was also occupied by thousands of sea soul beasts, which were moving slowly towards the insides of Rising City...
And at the rear of these sea soul beasts was a creature with the upper body of a female human, while the lower half was a fishtail covered with dark blue scales...
Especially that delicate face, which was in no way inferior to human beauty, and even due to her long time in the Ice Sea, her skin was even more tender and delicate than that of humans...
Without a doubt, she was none other than the Sea Princess, hailed as the sprite of the sea, with immense spiritual strength!
If she were in the water, her strength would even surpass that of the Thousand Demon King and the Chi King in the Aquipeia Forest!!
A cold look flickered on her attractive face as she said icily, "You lowly humans, you actually dared to use those strange cannonballs to bombard my mount! And to kill it, you must learn the consequences of offending the noble Sea Princess!!"
The Sea Princess tribe harbored no malice towards human Soul Masters...
But today, she discovered that her mount had been killed. Though the latter wasn't very important to her, it was still a crushing blow to her dignity!
...
The next day, in the Sun-Moon Empire, within the grand hall...
Xu Tianran and the various ministers all looked at the Soul Master kneeling on the ground below, and the former frowned and said, "What happened?"
This Soul Master had arrived in the early hours of the morning, but since he and Juzi had both fallen asleep, the former had been stopped, and it was only today that he was allowed an audience.
The Soul Master knocked his head on the ground several times, his voice fearful as he said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, something terrible has happened!"
Xu Tianran asked coldly, "Hm? What exactly happened..."
The Soul Master recalled the events of the previous day, his voice trembling as he said, "Rising City... was attacked by sea soul beasts yesterday, and all the stationed Soul Masters were completely wiped out! The Ninth-Level Defense Soul Guidance Device didn't have a chance to be activated."
"Moreover, these sea soul beasts are moving towards the interior of Rising City, I fear heavy casualties will occur!"
Juzi's beautiful eyes narrowed...
It was precisely at the time of impending war that such an incident arose; if not quickly resolved, it would affect her plans!
Wind Douluo suddenly stood up, angered and said, "What did you say? The guarding Soul Masters were all killed? A bunch of trash! How many sea soul beasts are there?"
These sea soul beasts were rarely seen, and even when they were, it was usually only a few dozen at most! They simply couldn't be a match for the Soul Master Troop!
The Soul Master bowed his head, stammering, "According to my… rough… estimate, there are at least three… over three thousand sea soul beasts, and they are still continuously emerging from the East Blue!"
Xu Tianran's pupils dilated in shock as he said, "Over three thousand beasts? And their number is still increasing!"
The other ministers also looked grave, saying, "How is this possible! Such an incident has never occurred in Rising City!"
"Could something have happened that provoked the sea soul beasts?"
"What did you all do yesterday???"
"Yesterday… Some of the Soul Masters in our ranks disobeyed orders, went to the Ice Sea to fish on their own, and even killed a sea soul beast."
Xu Tianran's voice was icy as he commanded, "Seize him, drag him away, execute him!"
Two soldiers clad in armor walked in, directly grabbed the arms of the Soul Master...
The Soul Master struggled violently, crying out, "Your Majesty the Emperor! Spare me! Spare my life! It really wasn't my fault!"
However, no one paid him any attention, and soon after he was dragged away...
His roaring voice abruptly ceased, and naturally, the execution followed...
At that moment, Wind Douluo's gaze turned towards Xu Tianran, and he bowed with clasped fists, saying, "Your Majesty the Emperor, allow me to deal with this matter."
Before Xu Tianran and Juzi could speak, the ministers below started protesting, "No, Wind Douluo's main task is to guard against the other two great empires!"
"If Wind Douluo is not constantly monitoring the movements of the other two empires, they might silently concoct some schemes!"
"I also disagree with sending Wind Douluo!"
Xu Tianran glanced at Wind Douluo, "Wind Douluo, the ministers are right, your main task is not this. I will send someone else for this matter! You may stand down."
This guy, I'm afraid even if it were Juzi, he wouldn't dare to send him to Rising City again...
Should he act on his own and provoke serious consequences again, that would indeed be a loss not worth the gain!
Simply put, Wind Douluo had already lost the trust of him and Juzi, and at most, he was just a tool now!
Hearing this, Wind Douluo frowned slightly, "But..."
Xu Tianran's eyes grew colder, "I said, Wind Douluo, stand down!"
Wind Douluo paused, then swallowed hard and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
With that, he left with a heavy atmosphere...
Xu Tianran's eyes then turned to a Titled Douluo below, saying calmly, "This matter is entrusted to you!"
The Titled Douluo replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
Xu Tianran waved his hand, "Then so be it, everyone is dismissed!"
After the words fell, everyone turned and left the grand hall...
At this point, Juzi behind him remarked indifferently, "Well done, a correct judgment."
Xu Sanshi asked respectfully, "Then what should we do now? Stop the war plans?"
Juzi shook her head in denial, "No, proceed with the original plan and send out peace invitations to the other great empires! Let's set the location at the junction of the three empires!"
Since Mirror Dust was already prepared, once this plan is accomplished!
The great war will begin!
Xu Tianran nodded, "I understand!"
Yet the unease in his heart grew denser, feeling as though something was about to happen...
...
The Sea Princess's icy gaze surveyed the city ahead, and she declared coldly, "Filthy humans! Accept death in my presence!"
Then, with a wave of her arm, a few teardrop-like glistening droplets fell to the ground...
In an instant, the entire flatland began to show traces of moisture, which soon formed streams...
In the end, it turned into a vast watercourse!
Below this expansive watercourse, the combat power of the sea soul beasts was once again enhanced, swarming densely towards the city ahead...
The Soul Masters on the walls of the city exclaimed, "What... what kind of soul beast is that, turning the ground into a watercourse out of nowhere!"
"Quick! The sea soul beasts are attacking! Use the soul tools to bombard them!
"Everyone else, activate the Level 9 Defensive Soul Guidance Devices! Relying solely on the city walls won't withstand their assault!!!"
