Xiao Chen instructed Ma Anmin, "Have the artillery and marines ready for battle, and launch the attack after my orders."
He then said to Luo Ling and Mei Tiantian: “You lead the magic consultants and prepare for the spell attack, using the plan proposed by Tiantian yesterday!
Let me go and say hello to these guys first. It is not our style to punish without teaching."
Mei Tiantian said: "They have already caused trouble for us."
"But we still have to pass through the entire territory of the Sea Clan. It would be best if we could make them give up and not cause any more trouble."
Xiao Chen rubbed his face, used his mental power to control his facial muscles, pretended to be sleepy, and then came to the deck. He cast a sound amplification magic and deliberately said in a tired voice: "Who are you! This is not the territory of the sea tribe, and you actually attacked us. What do you want to do?"
The sea creatures on the ships were already on high alert, and when they saw someone suddenly appear and speak loudly to them, they all became nervous. The archers nocked their arrows, and the mages raised their staffs, aiming at Xiao Chen, who was half exposed on the deck.
However, the mermaid wizard on the big ship spoke a few words into the conch in her hand, and her voice spread throughout the entire sea fleet.
Xiao Chen found that the voice was very similar to the song just now, but he couldn't understand what she was saying. However, the next action of the sea clan fleet made him understand what the other party meant.
They slowed down their pace, but still maintained the surrounding posture, as if waiting for their leader to negotiate with the other party.
The mermaid witch put away the conch, drew a line in the air with her finger, and created a sound amplifying magic circle in front of her.
Now the boat under her feet was closer to Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen could see her face more clearly.
The upper body of the mermaids is really not much different from that of humans. The outer corners of the mermaid's eyes are raised higher than those of ordinary humans. According to human standards, she looks a little seductive. At least if you don't look at the fish tail exposed under her robe, she is a woman with quite good looks.
Mermaids have a slightly longer lifespan than humans, and can maintain youth for longer, so Xiao Chen couldn't tell her age. But from the demeanor she exuded, she must be a pampered and wealthy person.
The mermaid wizard stroked her long blue hair, looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Human, I am surprised that you were able to resist my singing and the power of the conch. But I see that you have exhausted all your energy. I am afraid that there is no one else on the boat who can move except you, right?"
Xiao Chen leaned on the railing and said to the mermaid wizard: "I am Xiao Chen from the Tower of China. We are just going to pass through the Pearl Islands. Your actions just now have already constituted an attack on us. After I have explained everything clearly, if you still do not stop attacking us, it will be regarded as a hostile action against the Tower of China, and all the consequences that follow will be borne by you!"
The mermaid mage covered her mouth and chuckled: "You humans like to bluff. We have more than 30 ships against your two ships. With my singing, there is no way there will be many people standing on the boats. What qualifications do you have to shout in front of me
Tower of China? I heard you have made many enemies on the mainland. Why are you extending your claws into the ocean again
Look at these two ships of yours. They are wrapped in metal and equipped with so many windows for launching crossbows. Are these shark-like ships coming to our Pearl Islands just passing by? Although we, the sea people, are not as insidious and cunning as you humans, we are not stupid either. These two ships you built are the latest war tools. Since you dare to drive them to our territory, they are gifts for us!"
"From what you said, you have been eyeing these two ships for a long time?" Xiao Chen asked.
The mermaid mage said, "So what? We have been keeping an eye on these two ships since they were still in the port. We were worried that you would build many of them and come to fight us, which would be a big trouble. But I didn't expect you to be so careless and come up to us!"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I don't believe you can find these two ships by yourself. Shuangfan City is far away from the Pearl Islands of the Sea Clan, and our dock is also located in a remote place. It is impossible for you to come here on your own initiative. Did someone sell this news to you?"
The mermaid mage laughed even more happily: "This is what you humans are like. Sometimes you would rather give us a bargain than see your own kind do well. Yes, someone leaked the news, but you will never guess who it was."
Xiao Chen sneered and said, "I know what happened even if you don't tell me. People from some nearby cities must have seen our two ships sailing in the sea. They think that warships of this level will destroy the balance between the city-states, so they secretly revealed the news to you. If you destroy the two ships, they can rest assured. If we destroy the army from the sea tribe, it will not do them any harm. Humph, it's really a win-win business."
The mermaid mage said: "Even if you figured it out, it's too late. But those snitchers would never have thought that we didn't intend to sink the two ships, but instead invited this holy artifact from an ocean temple: the Echo Conch.
With this relic, my Song of Sleep will be more powerful and will penetrate deep into the soul. Most will not even be able to raise the thought of resistance and will fall into a deep sleep. Surrender, you don't stand a chance."
"I have one last question. Who are you? Which tribe do you represent? As far as I know, most of the sea tribes cannot produce such a powerful force."
"Me? You humans cannot say my name, but it should be Silver Coral if you translate it to your meaning. The closest pronunciation is Trina. As for the tribe I represent... you are not qualified to know."
Xiao Chen said, "Hundreds of years ago, there was a force that almost unified the sea tribe, and that was the Sea King. It seems that your master wants to follow the Sea King's old path, right?"
Trina was a little surprised: "The great Sea King taught us a long time ago that a unified sea tribe will become stronger. What's wrong with that?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "No, no, no, you misunderstood me. I mean that your ideas are the same as Aquaman's, and are destined to be thwarted by humans." (To be continued)
