Chapter 914
914 The Wind Rises and waves surge
A figure broke out of the turbulent water that was as black as ink and hovered a few feet above the sea. It was Tang Zhen who had just returned from the bottom of the sea.
Tang Zhen glanced at the bottomless abyss and the faintly discernible continent on the other side of the abyss. He pondered for a moment before heading toward the sea Spirit tribe where the Holy Dragon city’s fleet was stationed.
Through the deal with the void snake tribe cultivators, Tang Zhen had found a solution to the problem and even obtained the location of the underwater spring.
According to what the void snake tribe cultivator had said, there were many treasures near the underwater spring. As long as he picked up trash a few more times, he could obtain more battle merits.
The greatest use of the battle merits obtained from the overseas battlefield was to exchange them for a quota for the remnant race to leave the sea after the mission was completed.
These cheap remanent races from the water world could be used to replenish the number of residents in the city and increase the overall strength of the city. They could even be used as cannon fodder in Wars.
Perhaps other buildings would do this, but in Holy Dragon City, this kind of situation would not happen.
After all, the Holy Dragon City had always been walking the path of elite soldiers, and there was no such thing as cannon fodder.
Moreover, these sea tribe descendants were not ordinary people. There were a large number of cultivators. They were extremely precious strategic resources. How could they be wasted?
As for the scattered treasures at the bottom of the ocean Spring, Tang Zhen didn’t believe that the cornerstone platform didn’t know about it. However, it still acquiesced to its existence. It was likely that it was giving Lou Cheng a hidden benefit.
In other words, the more ruthlessly and thoroughly one plundered in the water world, the more benefits one would obtain!
It was estimated that after the Holy Dragon City left, this Water World would be sealed. After it recovered, it would become an overseas battlefield for the other towers.
Since that was the case, he definitely could not miss this golden opportunity!
After Tang Zhen returned, an order was immediately sent out to all directions!
From today onwards, all The Guardian Summoners of the sea’s Lost Tribe must rush to the Holy Dragon city’s Holy Dragon City fleet for a month.
Once the time was up, those who did not arrive or disobeyed orders would be attacked by the Holy Dragon City. Once the Army arrived, not a single blade of grass would be left!
Those who handed over treasures to the Holy Dragon City would receive generous rewards. The more treasures, the more generous the rewards!
Those who are sincere in submitting to Holy Dragon City will have the opportunity to obtain the qualifications to become a resident of Holy Dragon City and leave the water world to live on land!
After these orders were issued, it didn’t take long for them to spread throughout the entire Water World through various propaganda means!
Those tribes already knew of the Holy Dragon city’s existence. They also knew that the Holy Dragon City was powerful and menacing. They definitely could not be underestimated.
The tribes that had yet to face the Holy Dragon City were basically waiting and watching, especially after the nine-headed snake tribe had gathered the Allied forces to besiege the Holy Dragon City. They were constantly paying attention to the battle situation so that they could make the next decision.
However, after waiting for a long time, they only received the news that the Horde Army had suffered a crushing defeat and that the Holy Dragon City had issued an ultimatum.
The water world, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly boiled.
Some people were unconvinced of the Holy Dragon city’s power and shouted that they wanted to fight to the death. Some remained silent, but secretly sent people to the Holy Dragon city’s fleet to obtain more detailed information.
Ever since the Holy Dragon city’s fleet had stopped, the area around the sea Spirit tribe’s Sea area had become unbelievably lively. The Holy Dragon city’s warships and garbage warships had gathered together, occupying almost all of the sea’s surface in sight.
The Holy Dragon city’s Warriors, the servant Army’s soldiers and their families, the defeated captives, the travelers on the sea and tribesmen who had heard the news, were all gathered here.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, ships carrying treasures and ransoms would return from time to time, and then leave with even more treasures and prisoners of war from the Holy Dragon City.
The Holy Dragon City adopted a tacitly accepted attitude towards this. As long as they did not cause trouble, they allowed all kinds of people to gather here.
Even the Pirates took the opportunity to become active and ran around in the water world. The reason why these Pirates were so active was because they had all received an important piece of news.
A few days ago, a group of Pirates had used the treasures they had accumulated over the years to exchange for a batch of excellent weapons and equipment from the Holy Dragon City fleet!
The Pirates ‘confidence was immediately boosted, and they attacked a small tribe on the sea on the same day, beating the tribe into a pulp.
The Pirates plundered to their hearts ‘content, brought a large number of treasures and The Guardian Summoner they accidentally captured, and sent them to the Holy Dragon city’s fleet to exchange for rewards.
No one knew how many rewards the Pirates had obtained in the end, but according to witnesses, the trash warships of the Pirates were filled to the brim, and all the Pirates were so happy that they couldn’t close their mouths.
This matter was intentionally spread by some people, and it quickly spread throughout the water world, causing the Pirates and travelers to become excited.
There were actually quite a few experts among these Pirates and travelers, but they had been keeping a low profile.
Now, under the temptation of huge benefits and leaving the water world, coupled with the hatred accumulated for generations, they jumped out one after another and cast their greedy eyes on the small and medium-sized tribes.
With these cultivators as the core, the Pirates and travelers on the sea quickly gathered together and began to attack the weaker tribes, plundering them wantonly.
Caught off guard, the small and medium-sized tribes suffered huge losses. Some Pirates even followed suit and kidnapped The Guardian Summoners!
It was not difficult to abduct a Guardian Summoner.
This was because once The Guardian Summoner’s limbs were controlled and his mouth was sealed, he could not complete the summoning ritual at all.
Without the help of the tribe’s Guardian, the strength of The Guardian Summoners would not be much stronger.
Even The Guardian Summoners who had not been taken away did not dare to summon when the tribe was under attack.
To put it bluntly, the main role of the tribe’s Guardian was to use its aura to mark the territory and deter the sea monsters so that they would not approach easily.
The main role of the tribal Guardian was to deter the travelers on the sea. If the travelers on the sea were no longer afraid, the deterrent effect would be greatly reduced.
Of course, this did not mean that the combat power of the tribal guardians was not good, but the key problem was that summoning the tribal guardians required a great price.
During the summoning ritual, the summoner needed to use blood essence, vitality, and even life force as a sacrifice to have a chance to summon the tribal Guardian.
Before the tribe’s Guardian left, they still needed a large number of sacrifices as thanks. If the tribe’s Guardian was not satisfied with the sacrifices, then the tribes on the sea would suffer.
Therefore, unless they had no other choice, these tribes would not easily summon their tribe guardians!
In fact, when the ancestors of the sea’s lost race summoned, there were not so many rules and restrictions, and the cost of summoning was much lower than now.
The ancestors of the sea’s remnant race could do whatever they wanted to those summoned creatures, and they didn’t dare to resist. Otherwise, they would be severely punished.
However, as the vestigial tribe at sea gradually weakened, the summoned creature that was originally suppressed by the summoner took the opportunity to turn the tables and become the master.
They took advantage of the fact that there were no experts among the sea’s lost race and began to increase the number of sacrifices without any restraint. They even decided whether they would descend when they were summoned based on their mood.
Regarding this situation, the remnant race at sea really had unspeakable suffering. However, even if they were unwilling, they still had no way to deal with it.
In order to make use of the power of the tribe’s Guardian, the remnant race on the sea had no choice but to swallow their anger, but they inevitably had resentment in their hearts.
There were even some clansmen of the sea tribes who wished for the death of their tribal guardians. This was because they had paid a very painful price in order to collect sacrifices for these tribal guardians. Some of them had even lost their families!
The water world was not a paradise. The remnants of the sea had been brought here with the intention of punishing them. Only after experiencing hardships would they know how to be grateful and repay when they were taken away from the water world.
When they repaid Lou Cheng and gave their all, they were also contributing to the invasion of Lou Cheng’s world!
