98: Sweeping the globe!

The gathering of sea demons caused the Great Xia, which had finally quieted down a little, to fall into turmoil once again.

However, things were different this time.

Both worlds have their own Order, and no one can escape the Three Realms and Five Elements.

On Great Xia's side, movements had already begun, with large quantities of supplies and weapons being mobilized.

The coastal areas and major water-System cities were the hardest-hit regions.

--- "From these satellite images, the sea demons certainly seem like they're about to make landfall."

At the Suhang Research Institute, various important personnel arrived and sat in a circle.

Ye Su looked at the massive image and turned around to speak.

Seated at the table were Suhang's chief official Huang Bangjie, Su Hang Grand Camp's chief official Lei Yongtian, Li Qing, Black Tiger, Zhuge Hu, Mo Xiaoyu, and Zhang Hui.

"Captain Ye," the Suhang chief official was the first to speak;

"Suhang covers a large area, and the surrounding Suzhou and Hangzhou walls have already taken shape. While they might not have much defensive power, they should at least be of some use."

"However, in some areas outside the Suzhou and Hangzhou, there is no protection at all."

"Especially this section of Zhou City—"

"Abandon it!"

Before Huang Bangjie could finish, Lei Yongtian of the Su Hang Grand Camp spoke up directly;

"Zhou City's geographic environment isn't good. Abandon it and relocate the population back."

"You!"

Huang Bangjie's face flushed red.

Is this a joke?

That's an entire Suzhou and Hangzhou!

Lei Yongtian looked at the cloud map and said;

"Wake up. If the number of sea demons truly spreads out across the land, they could submerge all of Great Xia."

"Complete preparation is impossible."

"In fact, when necessary, we may have to decide whether to use mushroom eggs for strikes. The contingency plans from above are very pessimistic."

After saying this, Lei Yongtian glanced at Ye Su.

If the Su Hang Grand Camp were to actually use mushroom eggs, they would still have to consider this man's thoughts.

However, that didn't hinder the pessimistic attitude from the higher-ups.

These last few days of the Rain Water solar term were heart-wrenching.

So, what's the point of talking about Zhou City or not!

"Focus on key defenses then,"

Ye Su said, making the final decision;

"Comprehensive defense is impossible; we don't have that much strength."

"Now, while there's still time, begin the population migration."

The Suhang chief official sighed and finally could only nod.

That's how it was with the sea demons.

When they don't move, everyone is smiling.

Once they move, no one is smiling anymore.

"By the way," Ye Su looked at Zhang Hui at this moment;

"Zhang Hui, through the Liaison Officer System, tell headquarters to notify the Professionals in every region."

"Once the sea demons land on a large scale, all Professionals must participate in the defensive war."

"Specifically, the inland regions must support the coastal regions."

"Tell them, I might not know who came, but I will definitely know who didn't!"

"Yes."

Zhang Hui responded.

The inland Professionals had to be mobilized, and of course, they wouldn't be working for nothing.

Great Xia's merit System was already very well-developed.

To them, the sea demon landing was exactly the time to earn a large amount of merit points.

These were the broad strokes of the meeting.

Afterward came some details.

A moment later.

Li Qing and Lei Yongtian's expressions suddenly shifted, becoming solemn all at once.

"Several islands in the Pacific Ocean have already been submerged by sea demons,"

Li Qing said;

"No personnel on them survived."

"Also, news has come from some neighboring countries. Countries in the Pacific region like Kangaroo, Nia, and Singa have already encountered sea demon attacks! They are requesting our help."

"Furthermore, they have passed on information that the sea demons are not attacking randomly; they are organized."

"Moreover, they've sent over information regarding some special sea demon groups."

As Li Qing spoke, he directly connected the data.

Subsequently, images of some peculiar groups among the sea demons invading neighboring countries appeared on the large screen!

The first thing to appear was a massive physique.

This was a giant creature mutated from an octopus.

Standing over ten meters tall, its tentacles were all fused together to form five limbs, much like a starfish.

Three limbs served as legs to prop its body upright, while the other two served as highly aggressive arms.

Furthermore, the arms had another attack form; they could disperse at any time into dozens of tentacles.

Troublesome and powerful.

"This is a King-level Lifeform from Nia's side," Li Qing continued;

"It is commanding almost all the sea demons in the vicinity. It can be confirmed that this thing already possesses corresponding intelligence."

"The Professionals near Nia can't beat it, and their weaponry is very backward. The latest news is that the Lighthouse military stationed nearby has taken action, but it's unknown if they can kill it."

*Click.*

Li Qing pressed a button.

The image changed.

This time, a person appeared in the image.

Or rather, a Merman with a human upper body and a fish tail for a lower body.

"This is a special race; we currently don't know what creature this evolved from," Li Qing said;

"It should be a King-level Lifeform. It is the commander in the East Asian waters. This image was sent over by Sakura."

Ye Su's heart stirred.

A Merman!

He had heard long ago that several major powers had dropped mushrooms into the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

As it turned out, the Mermen had not gone extinct.

Retaliation was normal.

But one couldn't say the sea demon landing was entirely for revenge; the pressure a race exerts on its surroundings is normal.

Now that they had finally unified, it would be strange if they didn't launch an outward offensive.

Li Qing continued to switch through the images.

There were many.

There were many King-level Lifeforms.

They came in all sorts of forms.

As time passed, more and more of this data came in.

Sea demons.

They were freaking playing the whole field.

The sea demons were attacking every country in the world that had a coastline.

Or to think of it another way.

The sea demons weren't attacking countries, but... humans!

This Rain Water had caused all the fish in the sea to mutate.

They had all become demons.

In that case...

What would they eat?

Food was a massive gap.

Clearly, there was plenty of delicious food on land, so they came.

"What a Heaven-Defying matchmaking mechanism!"

Li Qing complained;

"Sea demon swarms have appeared in the Bohai Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea, only a hundred nautical miles from land."

"At this speed, they will make landfall in one hour."

"Among them, Magic City, Pearl River, and Lianshun will be the hardest-hit areas!"

The news was being updated constantly.

Lei Yongtian watched the screen while remotely commanding troops to establish defensive lines.

The reason Magic City, Pearl River, and Lianshun were the hardest-hit areas was that these three places were ultra-densely populated regions.

"Finally, this is the news sent over from the Imperial Capital."

Li Qing pressed the button.

"Four King-level Lifeforms, one for each region. They are the Giant Turtle, Dragon Shark, Armored Crab, and..."

"The Flood Dragon!"

Ye Su's gaze narrowed.

He stared directly at the Flood Dragon in the image.

This was mutated from a sea snake. From the image, one could see this thing was dozens of meters long, with scales that shimmered brilliantly.

When it opened its mouth to roar, two venomous fangs glinted with a cold light.

Even in its eyes, one could see a hidden ruthlessness—it was so human-like.

The intelligence of this Flood Dragon must be very high!

"Everyone, set out and prepare yourselves,"

Ye Su said finally.
