Chapter 643: Chapter 644: The Battle Between the Sea and Machinery_1

The Delong Tower leading the way ahead paused for a moment, feeling a bit puzzled as it sensed its surroundings. It always had the feeling that something strange had flown onto its head?

"Are you worried that Delong Tower might... overreact again?"

Liu Wenli said uncertainly, the apocalyptic storm that Delong Tower had unleashed earlier was terrifying, and she felt that Delong Tower wouldn’t do it again—that the other party wouldn’t be foolish enough to provoke it again.

Feng Yuan sighed and said

"Who knows, if they think that the city walls and cannons by the sea can deal with Delong Tower..."

"Then it’s really hard to say..."

Liu Wenli said after a moment of silence, her experience with the nobles’ arrogance made her understand that they wouldn’t see the situation clearly until they were hit hard. Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with a wronged expression, as if to blame him for leaving it behind again.

Glancing at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said helplessly

"Didn’t I just tell you? Besides, the storm outside was so strong. Look, even my inner robe is wet. If I’d taken you out, you’d have complained that I deliberately got you wet."

Xiao Ji looked at its fluffy feathers and then at the still-dripping Ritual Robe on Feng Yuan, in a dilemma.

"Do you really think it’ll be useful?"

A sailor, who was charging up the Spirit Beast Cannon, asked worriedly to the person next to him, who replied with uncertainty,

"No idea..."

"What if it’s useless..."

"Don’t talk nonsense! If someone hears you, you’re the one who’ll be unlucky."

Looking around cautiously and seeing that no captain had noticed them, the person whispered into the sailor’s ear,

"See that plank of wood over there?"

"What’s so special about that plank?"

"When the time comes, just cling to that plank for dear life—it should at least ensure you don’t drown, right?"

"You can’t be serious..."

"If you ask me, we shouldn’t provoke it. If it can cause such a terrifying storm, even if it can’t come ashore, if it sends us a month of torrential rain we’re done for anyway."

"Shh!"

Noticing the captain approaching, the sailor quickly silenced his fellow sailor. Such defeatist talk would spell trouble for them if the captain overheard, even before Delong Tower made its move.

"What are you doing! Move it! The monster will be here soon!"

After glancing at the two men, who were nodding and bowing, the captain haughtily went off to scold the next ’slacker,’ the two men exchanged a look, sighed, and silently continued fiddling with the Spirit Beast Cannon.

"How long do you think until the weather changes?"

Feng Yuan asked with a mischievous smile, and Liu Wenli, speechless, glanced at the distant city wall and said,

"Are you that certain?"

"Didn’t you see they have all their weapons ready?"

"This time I won’t make a move so quickly, at least not until Delong Tower tears down something first," Feng Yuan said.

Liu Wenli glanced at Feng Yuan,

"Won’t there be problems? If we fight too hard..."

"I trust the charm of those items~"

Previously, Feng Yuan had checked the trade items prepared by the Aquatic People, and with the help of Mu Nanyu and their team, those items still held a strong allure for the people from the Omeilia Region.

"Just make sure you don’t overdo it."

Liu Wenli calmly looked ahead and said, as the team gradually approached the coast, Delong Tower let out a howl, and the Island Jellyfish halted in their tracks, watching as Delong Tower made its way to the shore. Feng Yuan said with a smirk,

"Looks like a storm’s a-brewin’."

As expected, when the artillery fire hit the light blue barrier, the inevitable storm of destruction descended upon the coastal city. Watching the churning sea, the gunners shivered as they aimed their cannons at the massive figure ahead.

"I feel like the Maritime People are cursed or something. Seems we can’t trade without a fight first."

Feng Yuan said with a laugh, waiting a moment before seeing the waves about to destroy the city walls. He spread his pitch-black wings, ready to intervene. If Delong Tower wiped out that city, it would be troublesome.

But just then, giant metal sword blades rose from the beach, forming an impenetrable wall of blades that not only halted the surging waves but also captured the water that hadn’t made it back to the sea below. In no time, a small pond formed beneath the wall of blades.

"Do you want war?"

A ray of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, shining on the metal giant elk. The light refracted off the elk into a dazzling display. Delong Tower looked up at Ernis in the sky, and the next moment, several water cannons were fired directly at Ernis.

Countless metal fragments whirled in front of Ernis, forming a metal shield that blocked the water cannons. It seemed the people in the city were aware of Ernis’s presence, praying devoutly. The City Lord, who was planning to flee, looked at Ernis in the sky with an indescribable expression.

"It looks like there’s been a misunderstanding, and I have no choice but to intervene."

Feng Yuan said helplessly, sensing the tension between Ernis and Delong Tower. If the two were to fight, there would be no saving the town before them.

Taking Delong Tower’s actions as provocation, Ernis let out a howl to the sky. A gigantic sphere made of countless metal weapon components emerged from the void and quickly formed into two massive Armor Giants. Observing these medieval-like Armor Giants, Feng Yuan muttered under his breath,

"It seems its knowledge isn’t that great."

"What else? You expect it to conjure up a robot? Think about the times; where would it even learn about those?"

Agunas’s shadow glanced at Feng Yuan and spoke irritably. The Armor Giants raised their Spirit Beast Cannons, aiming at Delong Tower.

Understanding Ernis’s strength, Delong Tower dared not take the hit head-on. Shallow blue Magic Circles appeared in front of him, projecting out the shapes of various islands.

"Ocean’s Force?!"

Feng Yuan covered his forehead, puzzled. He didn’t remember the Divine Beasts having any deep grudges, so why did they resort to serious combat upon meeting?

"What is it trying to do..."

Agunas’s shadow watched Delong Tower in silence, knowing that it didn’t need to use the Ocean’s Force to block Ernis’s attack. A solid barrier would be enough to stop it since Ernis wasn’t known for being a combat-oriented Divine Beast. But, the Ocean’s Force was different.

That drew power directly from the ocean. If Ernis attacked, it would inevitably cause damage to the source of that power.

"Who are you?"

Ernis stared at the suddenly appearing Feng Yuan. The metal-covered Armor Giants attacking the Magic Circles formed of Ocean’s Force were stopped by Feng Yuan’s summoned black light and quickly destroyed by it.

In Ernis’s perception, the components devoured by the black light didn’t just disappear; they were utterly obliterated. Observing Feng Yuan flying with black wings, Ernis was perplexed; it couldn’t recall any Divine Beast or Spirit Beast that looked like a human.

"Well..."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan, shining brightly, began to intervene. He had to; he didn’t know what had gotten into Delong Tower, but if it truly fought Ernis, not only this town but the entire Starlit Sea would fall into chaos. A Divine Beast in charge of the ocean wasn’t to be trifled with. Randomly extracting the force from any one place could have far-reaching consequences.

"Is it because of you?"

Ernis suddenly roared, assembling massive Spirit Beast Cannons in the air. Feng Yuan, watching Ernis with an unfriendly expression, said,

"Are you insane?!"

With a wave of his hand, an ancient Lantern appeared out of thin air, containing a dancing light blue flame. Enormous Crystal Pillars emerged from the void, and in the next moment, Delong Tower, Ernis, and Feng Yuan’s figures twisted and vanished from everyone’s sight. The area where the Crystal Pillars appeared, outside of an affiliated space, was all brought to a standstill. Looking at the frozen waves, Liu Wenli exclaimed with surprise,

"Is that his true power?"

Agunas’s shadow looked up at the sky, speechless,

"What madness has Ernis stirred up... I hope they don’t cause too much damage to the Starry Sky."

The transfixed City Lord’s eyes moved in shock, gazing ahead. The impact of this battle was too great for him. He had thought that with weapons like the Spirit Beast Cannon, there was no need to care about the attitudes of the Divine Lords. But reality proved him wrong.
