Chapter 509: Chapter 261: Decisive Battle with the Sea Tribe (Part Two)

At that moment, rolling black clouds rose from the distant sky. Though far away, the peals of thunder seemed to sound right beside their ears.

The Priest narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Are they trying to intimidate us?"

The thunderclouds approached rapidly, mixed with immense power; it was undoubtedly the work of Nathias or his brother.

"Let me handle this." Red Beard, whose temper was explosive, flew into the sky in response to the challenge from the sea tribe, unleashing all his magic power.

He intended to hurl back the sea tribe’s challenge and win gloriously since the empire’s expedition was imminent, and this move by the sea tribe aimed to undermine the empire’s morale.

Red Beard was well aware of this and thus exerted his full strength.

What it feels like for a Tower Master to exert full strength is something most people might never witness in their lifetimes.

Red Beard, the Master of the Red Tower and a fire mage, held a special Third Transition profession, "Flame Devil Emperor."

As Red Beard released his magic power, the cool Goldris seemed to plummet into a world of fire, even the sky tinted with the scorching hue of molten lava.

With a surge of his skills, countless flames swept around, clinging to his body.

"Flame Devil True Body!"

At that moment, Red Beard transformed into the ruler of this fiery world, reaching for the speeding trident.

The next second, they collided.

The force of the thunderstorm spread out, and Vili hurriedly used his skill to isolate the space to prevent the soldiers from being affected by the power.

The power enveloped in the trident was not just from one individual; merely a confrontation had cracked the fiery armor surrounding Red Beard.

Red Beard hadn’t anticipated the enemy’s skill to be so formidable; however, he was unafraid. Clenching his teeth, the flames behind him transformed into numerous whips, entwining the ominous trident.

As a Divine Artifact, the trident possessed considerable agility.

Reacting quickly to Red Beard’s move, streams of thunder emerged on the hard body of the trident, driving away the fiery tendrils wrapping around it.

"Red Beard won’t be able to hold on," Shadow murmured with a slight frown; this wasn’t a good sign.

"He won’t lose," Su Yu said with firm conviction, "He won’t!"

Indeed, Red Beard, known for his volatile nature, would never admit defeat, even when facing a power stronger than himself, fighting for both the empire’s morale and his own pride.

"Push it back!" Red Beard bellowed, as he drew all the fire magic power back into his body.

In an instant, under the enhancement of endless magic power, red cracks appeared on Red Beard’s skin.

With a deep frown, Vili had just moved forward to assist, but the Gray Tower’s Master stopped him.

Mo Bai shook his head gently, "If you intervene, the sea tribe’s aim will be achieved."

"But can’t you see that this strike is no longer at a Third Transition Peak level?" Vili said solemnly, "Others might not notice, but I believe you can feel it, that the thunder released by this trident has a trace of Divine Power."

"And what can we do about it? Explain to the soldiers that the Naga Queen is helping too?" Danni spoke, "With the army’s expedition imminent, morale is crucial."

"I know," Vili sighed deeply. He wished he had intervened sooner as, unlike Red Beard, he had more methods of handling this.

As the power of thunder continuously infiltrated through the fiery armor into Red Beard’s body, this destructive magic power overwhelmed him; he had already exerted all his power in counteracting the trident’s assault, leaving no strength to suppress this internal threat.

At this moment, Red Beard could no longer care about anything else. If he couldn’t stop this strike, where would the prestige of the empire’s Seven Towers stand?

It was a do-or-die effort!

Deciding resolutely, Red Beard stretched his arms forward, tearing open the thundery shield in front of the trident and firmly grasping its sharp blades.

A massive tidal wave of magic power surged from within the trident—evidently, this magic, wrapped in vile darkness, was definitely Nathias’s doing.

Regardless, Red Beard couldn’t let go; keeping a steadfast grip on the trident, he continuously channeled magic power into it to counter the aggressive onslaught.

The standoff began, under everyone’s watchful eyes, lightning and fire collided constantly, creating resounding thunderous roars.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Red Beard successfully thwarted the sea tribe’s grand gift to the empire with his tenacious will.

The trident, having exhausted its offensive, let out a mournful wail before curling up and attempting to flee.

"Don’t think about escaping!" Su Yu, brimming with fury, had no intention of letting the Divine Artifact escape easily.

"Forget it," Danni held the other back, "Since they dared to make such a move, naturally they have a way to recall it. Don’t rush into action—treating Red Beard is what’s important right now."

"Bravo!"

"Bravo!"

"Bravo!"

Under the cheers of the soldiers, Red Beard retreated from the city wall, then spat out a large mouthful of blood and passed out.

Su Yu quickly stepped forward, embraced him, and continuously used water-based healing spells to treat Red Beard.

Danni also took out a drop of Water of Life and fed it to Red Beard.

"Let’s first clear the magic power that has invaded his body."

Together, they gradually forced the devastatingly powerful lightning out of Red Beard’s body.

Despite their efforts to save him, Red Beard still did not regain consciousness.

"Perhaps you should take him to my place?" Jin Fu approached and said, "The Holy Court has some research on treating this kind of internal injury. If you trust me, you can leave him in my care."

Su Yu looked at Jin Fu suspiciously; naturally, she was cautious about the Eagle Alliance.

"Let her try," Lu Hong also came over, "Jin Fu is my friend and wouldn’t harm Red Beard."

"Alright then." Although Danni was a Druid, she wasn’t a professional healer and neither was Su Yu. This time, the Holy Court had brought not only a team of knights but also a professional healing team.

The healing team had greatly advanced their skills beyond their basic abilities; even the old Priest, a top healer from the Empire, was drawn to it and spent days there.

"Then I am in your debt." Seeing Lu Hong vouched for her, Su Yu agreed.

With the oath-taking assembly ending, deployment orders for the war against the sea tribe began to disseminate one by one from the Military Department, and the Sacred Empire, this war machine, finally bared its fangs and pounced towards its prey.

The sea tribe was also aware of the Empire’s significant operation. The Naga Queen, not yet fully recovered, could only strike at the Empire once with the trident as she was reaching her limit. Faced with this attack from the Empire, the Naga Queen gave Nathias the approval to unleash all the Dark Naga from the northern seas.

Compared to Nathias, there were still a group of extremely vicious top fighters imprisoned in the northern sea, whose arrival undoubtedly boosted the sea tribe’s military strength significantly.

"Keep your people away from the Dark Naga," Light Fish said, relaxing on a soft clamshell bed with a string of sea fruit in his mouth.

"Lord Light Fish, are you just going to watch as the Dark Naga are fully released?" A group of sea tribe clan leaders looked unwillingly at Light Fish.

"What about it?" Light Fish raised an eyebrow, "You want me to capture them back one by one?"

"You..."

Before the clan leader could finish, Light Fish interrupted, "Stop wasting words. If you want to argue, go find the Queen. What use is there in finding me? I participated in capturing the Dark Naga before. I fully understand their terror, but with the human race out for revenge and having persuaded the sea demon beasts and the Snowy Region, merging these three forces, the Queen has no strength to act. Releasing them is the wisest decision right now."

"But they don’t follow commands at all!" another clan leader complained.

"Do they need to follow commands?" Light Fish sneered in response, "What do you need to command them for? As long as they charge at the forefront against the human race, why concern yourself with so much? Also, restrain your own people from provoking them—the Dark Naga used to love eating our own kind."

"What about after the war? How do we deal with these Dark Naga then?"

Light Fish looked helplessly at the questioning clan leader, "Please, why do you care about that? Do you think the Queen will just let these Dark Naga do as they please? Moreover, do you really think releasing the Dark Naga means we can defeat the human alliance? You should know that their top seven Tower Masters have already returned. Even if we release all the Dark Naga, we still have two gaps. And once human race’s super-fighter Caesar takes action, who do you think can contend with him?"

"This..."

As Light Fish’s words fell, the sea tribe clan leaders looked at each other.

Indeed, with the return of the seven towers, the offensive and defensive situation between the Empire and the sea tribe had completely flipped; top fighters were indeed crucial in turning the tide of battle.

"What should we do, Lord Light Fish?"

"Um..." Light Fish pondered for a moment, "You all go back and have a good sleep, wait for the political council to hand down the military deployment. Don’t think about saving only yourselves; you can’t do it, and neither can I."

With that, Light Fish waved his large sleeve and drove the incompetent clan leaders out of his dwelling.
