There was nothing worth preparing for in the inner city. They had done everything they were supposed to do. The only thing left was to wait for the arrival of their enemies.
Zhang Weiyu and the rest drank on ordinary occasions but everyone went on a self-imposed alcohol ban. Nobody wanted to mess up at this critical juncture and everyone was filled with worries.
Li Heitan, Chen Zuan, Cheng Qiuqiao, Zhang Weiyu and Liu Yizhao, the people who Lu Shu knew the best, were chatting together.
Li Heitan said that he was the Great Lord’s helping hand. Then, Zhang Weiyu was unhappy, “He only has two hands, why are you taking all the credits? What about us?”
Li Heitan said, “You are his toe?”
Zhang Weiyu was speechless.
When he saw that Li Heitan and Zhang Weiyu were about to pick a fight, Li Liang, who was beside them, quickly tried to salvage the situation. “Great Lord, there are more than two useful people around you. Two people will be too few, why not call them The Eight Superpowers?”
“Old Li,” said Li Heitan, “That name is too lame. Moreover, eight is too few.”
Li Liang was stunned. “Where did you learn that from? Then you give a suggestion on what everyone should be called based on the sequence?”
“How about the Ten Kings of Hell? Yamaraja, King Chu Jiang, King Qin Guang I think they sound quite good and match King of Gods too. In the future, I shall be King Qin Guang!” Li Heitan was proud of himself.
Li Liang quickly praised him, “Li Heitan, you are indeed witty.”
Li Heitan was embarrassed, “Hehe, you too.”
Li Liang was speechless.
The East Region’s ships were moving along the tide. Practitioners were controlling the ships and some people were using their powers to call for wind.
Therefore, even if they were going against the current, they were advancing very quickly.
In fact, everyone was already prepared. All of them would head to the palace upon Yu Fuyao’s instructions. Yu Fuyao controlled the East Region very well. She was very particular about the identities of the “male companions” she had selected, so that she could secure her rule over the East Region.
It started pouring halfway through the journey. However, their journey could not be delayed by the rain as everyone knew that it was a death sentence for delaying a war.
This group of people advanced first. They had to reach and station somewhere nearby the palace to welcome the troops behind them.
It had been a long time since the East Region went to war. Everyone felt that a battle was foreign. Unlike the West Region and the South Region where they were always ready for a war. Although they had never fought at the inner city, they had the concept of a war.
However, the aristocrats felt that Yu Fuyao called them over very hastily as though they had never depended on them for a war. Without even training the soldiers, their leader called them to gather and leave the next day.
Although they were not familiar with battles, everyone knew that it was not the correct attitude for one.
However, they did not have a choice. Now that a group of experts suddenly appeared from the palace in the East Capital, one Rank One expert was taking over a fleet of ships. Nobody could move as they wished.
The young experts were extremely strange and emotionless. Suddenly, someone recognized a particular person. Wasn’t that the disciple of the wealthy family who entered the palace of the East Capital decades ago to become a male companion?
Time seemed to have stopped for that person. That was the advantage of a youthful expert. They had reached a realm of permanent youth after they advanced to Rank One. Therefore, sometimes, they looked even younger than their grandchildren.
Moreover, after breaking through Rank One, the older experts could only return to middle-aged appearances. This included Li Xianyi and Chen Baili.
At this moment, that person did not dare to speak after he realized that the youthful experts that came out from the palace were probably the male companions who had entered in the past. He looked at the foreign-looking experts. Perhaps, all of them had entered the palace earlier than him!
He could not afford to offend these people and could do nothing.
The young experts who came from the palace of the East Capital stood in front of their own ships and looked at the waves calmly. They were not afraid of the storm as they could stop it with a little bit of their Spirit Qi.
Under their calm facade, there was a cold attitude towards the world. When the troops of the aristocrats saw their expressions, they began to guess what they had experienced in the palace of the West Capital.
After the male companions entered the palace, they lost contact with them. If nothing important happened in their family, they would not be able to get out of the palace.
Moreover, they were extremely keen on taking part in the family business. They would help the obedient masters to gain their positions.
In the earlier years, many aristocrats suddenly died. Some people speculated that the male companions did it. Of course, Yu Fuyao was behind this.
Therefore, the stress that the aristocrats of the North Region experienced was comparable with those of the East Region. Everyone said that the North Region was the most liveable but they lost contact with all the good friends in the North Region these past two days. Nobody knew what had happened.
During this period of time, some aristocrats wanted to flee to the North Region to escape from the war. Yet now, because of the unknown situation in the North Region, they did not dare to go over.
Of course, if they could live after this battle, they would feel fortunate for not heading to the North Region…
At this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly darted over under the ship. The young expert who was standing in front was stunned. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
The entire sky was gray due to the rainy weather. Therefore, the poor lighting caused the shadow in the water to be less obvious. If the young male companion had not been entirely focused, he would not have been able to discover the shadow.
The young male companion observed carefully for a period of time. After realizing that everything was normal, he relaxed the tense muscles on his body.
In fact, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. After all, there had never been such a huge beast in the water before. According to legends, there had been such beasts in ancient times but this saying subsided as nobody knew where the beast went.
Then, in the next instance, an extreme shock was seen on his emotionless face, as though something extraordinary and unbelievable happened in front of him.
Besides him, everyone on the deck showed extreme shock on their faces.
“Chirp chirp chirp!”
A sound filled with joy echoed through the air. One of the soldiers of the aristocrats on the deck was shocked, “Could this be the legendary whistle of the dragon?”
Wasn’t the thousand-meter long creature covered in black fog in front of them the god dragon? However, nobody said that the dragon-like screech sounded like that and nobody said that the dragon god was not dead.
After he said that, the first main ship was swallowed by Chaos. When he opened his mouth, his mouth was as big as the entire ship. The ship broke apart after he bit it!
The bloody waves that were generated were quickly washed away by the new waters.
“From Jiang Wenhan’s distress, +1000!”
“From…”
“Chirp chirp chirp!”
