The two representatives of the Exiled Council returned to their ship satisfied.
Not long after, Glasco once again arrived on board the Seven Towers of Light with a team of more than ten people.
Among these people were city lords, masters, and representatives of the Mage Tower. They came to the Seven Towers of Light not only as hostages, but also as war observers to see how this terrifying fleet of the Tower of China fought.
They also selected several fast ships that could keep up with the speed of the fleet, carrying more warriors, and followed the Tower of China.
As for the other ships, Huang Zheng contacted the sea clan representatives in the fleet and asked them to find a nearby island to allow the exile fleet of the southern city-state to temporarily dock.
In this situation, Huang Zheng is still willing to provide help within his ability. Now the entire human world is facing the same enemy.
After sailing for a day and a night, one evening, the fleet finally approached the waters near Shuangfan City. There were no fleeing ships on the sea here, but there were many ships floating on the sea near the coast. These ships did not sink, but there were no living people on board. The decks were littered with damaged corpses, hanging on the sides and masts in various broken shapes. A gust of sea breeze blew, and the pungent smell of blood hit them in the face.
"Most of these ships were attacked by monsters born from the sea. Some ships were sunk from the bottom, but most of the ships were killed by monsters that climbed up from the side of the ship." Glasco recalled with lingering fear, "Those monsters jumped onto the ship like crazy, they wanted to kill everyone they saw.
At that time, many ships were desperately trying to escape. The ships that stayed behind bought time for the ships that left. Perhaps only one of the two ships could escape."
"I'm afraid no one is willing to be the one who helps others buy time." Huang Zheng said.
"Sometimes the world is just so cruel." Glasco said, "Fortunately, those monsters will only appear a few hundred meters away from the coastline at most. It's like the power that activates them only takes effect within the continent. As long as the ships can rush out of the port, they can basically escape. Now these ships are pushed so far away by the ocean currents and sea breezes."
When everyone could see Shuangfan City, a horrible scene appeared before them. The city was full of collapsed houses, and many places on the ruins were pitch black, which were traces of being burned by fire. There were still tree people and monsters moving in the city. After they lost their target, they wandered aimlessly in the same place.
"I thought they would attack cities further inland, but I didn't expect them to still be wandering around in this city," said Glasco.
Huang Zheng said: "That's because the city has not been completely captured. Do you feel the fluctuation of that magic power?"
"I thought it was a wave coming from a monster."
"No, I am very familiar with this kind of fluctuation. On the outskirts of Twin Sails City, there is a shipbuilding base of our Tower of China. The magic fluctuation came from there."
"But I don't see anything." Glasco looked in the direction Huang Zheng pointed, and it seemed to be a wasteland. But soon he realized something was wrong. He had been to Shuangfan City before, and there should be many buildings in that area, but now even he, a great magician, couldn't feel anything. It could only mean that there was a very powerful magician who used extremely powerful magic to cover up that area.
Those wandering monsters can sense the presence of humans but cannot find the location of humans, so they linger here. "Who is that? How did he do it?"
"I'll say hello to him." A ball of light popped out from Huang Zheng's hand, crossing a large area of sea and land and landing on the wasteland. Suddenly, Glasco felt a wave of magic around him, and a man in a shirt cut through the space and stepped onto the Seven Towers of Light.
"This is one of our saints, Mao Kai." Huang Zheng introduced to the people of the Southern City-State, "He should be the one who covered up the corner of Shuangfan City."
The representatives, led by Glasco, quickly saluted.
"Yes, I've been guarding here for two days, and finally you guys are here. I haven't closed my eyes for the past two days, and I have to be on guard against those monsters every moment." Mao Kai said to Huang Zheng, "When I got here, Shuangfan City had been destroyed. We were the only ones here with a battalion of guards guarding it. The workers have also received military training, and there is a mountain pass that we can use, so we were able to defend our shipbuilding factory area. A small number of people in the city fled to our factory area and survived with our people.
After I came here, I actually led them to destroy the monsters in the city once. But in the entire southern city-state, most cities did not put up a decent resistance, and many monsters wandered here from other cities, and they were really endless. I felt that this would only increase casualties, so I simply used magic and my meditation world to shield the entire factory area.
But it's good that you're here. The cannons on those battleships are finally put to good use. Let these stupid monsters have a taste of how terrible civilized humans can be when they become barbaric. Have you finished modifying the cannons?"
Huang Zheng said: "These days we have placed the calibration array on each cannon. Now with the cooperation of the Mage's Eye, we should be able to perform accurate shooting."
Mao Kai said: "Very good, let the show begin."
Because he found the Archon, Eselite was promoted to captain of a new battleship, Broken Mountain, before setting off. When he received Huang Zheng's order and learned that he would conduct the first wave of test firing, he was very excited.
Just like the people of the East Continent were curious about how powerful the battleship cannons of the people of the West Continent were, the people of the West Continent were also curious about how effective the calibration array of the people of the East Continent was.
The target Huang Zheng ordered him to shoot was a piece of high ground where the City Lord's Mansion of Shuangfan City was located. There were now six or seven tree people gathered there, as well as a large number of strange-looking sea monsters.
The City Lord's Mansion had long since turned into a ruin, with the monsters wreaking havoc on it seeming like a mockery of the entire human race.
"Magic calibration preparation, adjust the shooting parameters."
The magician assigned to the Broken Mountain began to manipulate a specially made wizard's eye and flew to the high ground.
In this special calibration magic, the Mage's Eye is not only used for seeing, but can also provide very accurate feedback on the distance between it and the mage.
Driven by the turret servo mechanism, the three twin-mounted naval guns at the front and rear of the Broken Mountain slowly turned to the correct position.
Aethelite felt a sudden rush of revenge. He shouted, "Shoot!"
