On the bridge of the airship, Charles frowned as he watched the airship getting lower and lower under the pressure of the rock formations, until it finally seemed to be almost close to the water surface.
In this situation, everyone feels inexplicably depressed, as if they are constantly stuffing their bodies into a narrow tube, and will eventually be completely unable to move.
"Captain, the East China Sea is so depressing! Don't people living here feel uncomfortable?" Dipper on the side scratched the gills on his neck in annoyance.
Charles flipped through the island introduction book in his hand. "It's only like this where the Futan Cult lives. Other places are not that low."
"Wouldn't those octopus heads be... Yeah, they can live underwater, so it must be much easier for them to move around that way."
"The God's Land is almost here, stop talking nonsense." Charles reached out, took the black microphone and shouted into it: "Roves. We have already reached someone else's territory, start preparing for battle, don't let them trick us!"
Commodore Roves, who was in charge of commanding the entire fleet, immediately responded: "Got it! Governor!"
There were continuous splashing sounds, which were the sounds of mines falling into the water, and all the navy began to take their positions. Dozens of fleets were moving in unison.
At the same time, the airship in the sky also opened its bomb bay door, and bombs weighing hundreds of kilograms were ready to be dropped at any time. The air was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Charles thought for a moment, took out his diary from his arms, and patted it gently, "Come on, we're almost there."
The next second, Anna and Shanshan appeared beside him. These two were powerful fighters and it was impossible not to use them at this time.
Anna stretched lazily, "Oh my, we're finally here. Time goes so slowly. Half a year has passed in the round trip."
Slowly, under the gaze of everyone, God descended to the earth, and the headquarters of the Futan religion appeared in front of everyone.
When they saw the scene in front of them, everyone's eyes widened in surprise. They saw that the sea surface, which should have been flat, suddenly shrank downward, and a pit appeared.
Below the pit suddenly there was land, an extremely vast land exposed under the sea, with buildings of various strange styles arranged unevenly, most of which were temples.
The turbid yellow sea water around it seemed to be pulled by something and tacitly flowed around it without flooding the place, turning it into a basin in the sea.
No wonder this place is not called God's Descent Island but God's Descent Land. It is really a piece of land, land located under the sea!
"How did they do that? This place is so illogical..." Charles frowned as he watched the leading boats enter the pit and dock at the pier.
He did not allow the fleet to enter rashly to avoid an ambush.
"This is not the only place in Earthsea that is illogical." Anna muttered to herself as she looked at the Land of God's Descendants.
Shanshan, who was watching silently at the side, licked her lips secretly when she saw the God descending to the earth.
Charles' wait was not too long, as the welcoming ceremony held by the Futan Church was very grand.
As the waves rolled, large and small shipwrecks covered with barnacles and kelp began to surface around Charles' fleet, with divers standing on the ships.
They stared at Charles' fleet with their bulging fish eyes and held various weapons tightly in their hands.
At the same time, a fleet consisting of dozens of steamships set out from the dock of God's Landing below and began to approach Charles.
Most of the people on the ship were followers of the Futan religion with tentacle tattoos on their faces and solemn expressions.
Each one is different, but each one's appearance is beyond human imagination. Charles recognizes them. These are the monsters that attack ships.
There were so many of these things that they almost dyed the yellow sea black.
Charles only knew that these monsters at sea rarely attacked the Futan Church, but he did not expect that the people of the Futan Church could actually control them!
They were surrounded, and seeing the scene before them, everyone couldn't help but become nervous and their breathing became rapid.
Although I don’t know what other tricks the Futan Cult has yet to use, these things alone are enough to fight a tough battle.
But Anna looked unconcerned, "Not bad, if there are only so many of them, we can still eat."
Charles shook his head. "I guess these things are only displayed temporarily to prevent us from having any bad thoughts. Do you think they are not afraid that we will take action directly?"
"I have communicated with the followers of the Giant Bird of Suffering via telegram. Although they cannot send anyone to help, they don't mind adding insult to injury if the strength of the Futan Cult suffers further damage."
Just as Anna was about to say something with a smile, dirty foam surged up from the front glass of the airship.
As the bubbles disappeared, twelve octopus heads wearing hoods with purple patterns appeared in front of Charles.
It can be seen that although they are all octopus heads, there are still some subtle differences between them.
But the most special thing is their transparent scalp, with the soft pink brain inside directly exposed to the outside, which looks very creepy.
"Governor Charles, long time no see."
As soon as the octopus head standing in the front spoke, Charles understood that this person was the one who had been talking to him with his shadow before.
"We've been communicating for such a long time, but I still don't know your name. Are you their leader?" Charles looked at them indifferently.
The navy soldiers around were holding various weapons and relics, nervously standing in front of Charles.
"You can call me Octor. I am one of the twelve people in the Fortan Church. Why did Governor Charles dock outside instead of at the God's Landing Pier? Is our transaction still going on?"
Charles sneered, "The slope of this place is so high that it will be difficult to get up if you really go down. Of course, the transaction is still going on. Heal my people and I will tell you the location of Futan."
As soon as Futan's location was mentioned, Charles clearly felt the gleam in the eyes of these octopus heads.
"Very good, but now that we are here, shouldn't you tell us what those cultists of the God of Light did?"
Charles was a little surprised. He didn't expect the other party to ask this question first.
Seeing Charles hesitate, the tentacles on Okit's chin trembled slightly as it spoke.
"What? We have already expressed our sincerity, and now the deal is about to go to the final moment. Can't we give some gifts in advance?"
