On the North Sea, a fleet of ships were sailing side by side and moving quickly towards the north.
Many of the ships in the fleet looked shabby, as if they had suffered a fierce attack.
"Damn monsters! How could there be so many monsters in the North Sea? We had 20 ships when we set out, but only 10 are left here.
We still have one-third of the way to go, and there may be more losses later."
On the ship in the middle of the fleet, an old man in a black robe was complaining bitterly.
"Brother Yi, please be patient. We have anticipated the situation in the North Sea. It is a very good result that we can cover two-thirds of the distance at the cost of half of the cannon fodder.
We had no experience before, and we shouldn't kill so many monsters in certain sea areas. The smell of blood would only attract more monsters.
We should leave that sea area quickly after killing some monsters. When other monsters that smell the blood come and start fighting for food, we can leave calmly.
We were too impulsive before, always wanting to kill all the monsters, but we forgot that the number of monsters in this sea area is as numerous as stars, and they cannot be killed so easily.
The killing attracted more and more monsters. By the time we could no longer resist, it was too late to escape. We could only escape at the cost of a large number of cannon fodder. "
Next to the old man in black stood another tall and thin old man in black. After taking another look at the map in his hand, he spoke to the old man in black who had complained before.
The man called Brother Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Zeng, we don't know whether the legendary continent exists or not, and what exactly is the Black Soul Gold. Where should we look for it when we get there?"
The old man “Brother Zeng” who just comforted “Brother Yi” said: “Black Soul Gold is not actually called Black Soul Gold. We found some relevant information from the ancient books we collected.
Black Soul Gold is just what those people call it. This thing also has a formal name, called World Soul Essence Gold.
It is hard to say how many of these things there are, and there is no record of their appearance in ancient books, so we need to explore them ourselves.
However, ancient books record that the continent is called the Nine Souls Continent. The reason for this name is said to be because there are legends on the island where there are nine soul seals blocking the area.
These nine soul seals represent nine kinds of original soul essences. If one can master these soul seals, then the speed of comprehending the relevant laws will become very fast.
After absorbing the soul seal, as long as it is not refined, it can be transferred to others for use.
The purpose of our coming here is not only to obtain the World Soul Essence Gold, but also to find these soul seals. If we can get all nine soul seals, we can go back and ask the Lord to create a new Talisman Saint as quickly as possible.
At that time, not only will Lord Dahuntian have the best body to choose from, but the master will also not have to sacrifice his own body for Lord Dahuntian to use.
Our strength will definitely increase dramatically, providing a stronger guarantee for our plan to unify the world."
Hearing his words, Brother Yi showed an excited look on his face and said, "Okay, we must go all out in this operation. You said before that this continent used ancient language according to records. We have learned a lot in order to study ancient books, and now it comes in handy.
Brother Zeng, you have always been the think tank of the organization. Do you have any good plans for what we should do after we land on the mainland? "
"Brother Zeng"'s eyes gleamed for a while, and he said, "It's simple. We are quite powerful. After landing on the mainland, we immediately gathered together and disguised ourselves as a mercenary group.
After we figured out the surrounding situation, we immediately conquered an area as our base. Then, while inquiring about the whereabouts of the Realm Soul Essence Gold, we tried to find the strongest force on the continent to cooperate with.
Judging from our strength, more powerful forces will not give up cooperating with us, and we can use them to help achieve our own goals.
The only point is that it is recorded in ancient books that the power of talismans on the Nine Souls Continent will drop sharply, and only the power of physical talismans will not decrease.
The people on the Nine Souls Continent all have extremely developed physical strength and fight like monsters. We might suffer some losses.
Although we have equipped each person with two or three sets of physical talismans before leaving, since the talismans are almost unusable, their combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly affected."
"Brother Yi" said: "In terms of combat effectiveness, after a period of adaptation and by strengthening the team's coordination, we should be able to recover a lot.
We can’t change anything now, we can only wait until we reach the Nine Souls Continent.”
"Brother Zeng" nodded and said, "Well, this is the only way. We still have ten days to go. I hope that this mission can be successfully completed and make great contributions to the organization. By then, our status will surely overwhelm others and compete for the positions of left and right protectors."
Hearing the words "left and right protectors", "Brother Yi"'s eyes immediately showed excitement, as if the honor was already in front of him.
… … … …
Ye Li and his army of 20,000 people have quickly marched to the Huozikou area. In order to maintain the integrity of the formation, the army's marching speed is indeed not fast.
The reason why they did not dare to march towards Huozikou in a scattered manner was that they could not be sure whether Huozikou would be captured during their march.
If they rush to the gap in the form of scattered soldiers, if they encounter a large enemy formation, they will not even have time to form a formation to resist and will be defeated. After all, the battlefield is different from the fighting in the rivers and lakes, and the influence of the formation on the battle is far greater than that of personal strength.
The large group of people, assembled into several square formations and advancing in coordination, took nearly an hour to reach the vicinity of Huozikou.
There are still 5,000 guards in the Huozikou Fortress. They are now gathering on the fortress and forming a defensive formation to resist the enemy's attack.
"It looks like the enemy has arrived."
Ye Li muttered softly.
Tunri said: "That should be the case. Look at those people on the fortress, they are all staring at the outside of the gap."
Tunri has been in Ye Li's body paying attention to the situation outside.
"First Regiment, all right. Second Regiment, listen up. Go to the fortress and cooperate in the defense immediately. The Third and Fourth Regiments, stay outside and be ready to reinforce at any time."
Bian Yingxiong had already judged the enemy situation by the reaction of the guards on the fortress and immediately gave the order.
Then he looked at Ye Li and Yu Zhengqiang and said, "You two, come with me to the fortress to take a look. We don't know what the enemy's situation is this time."
After Ye Li and Yu Zhengqiang nodded, they followed Bian Yingxiong and quickly walked into the fortress, then walked up to the extremely wide wall built by the fortress.
