Chapter 476: Chapter 253: The Guardian of Lu City! _1
The major powers of Lu City were originally engrossed in the trade fair hosted by Fang Mu.
The trade meet organized by Fang Mu was so grandiose, with every single auction item being of great value.
The fact that a private trade meet auctioned off items worth hundreds of billions of Dragon Rising Coins was truly shocking to hear about.
It was hard to imagine what tomorrow’s major media in Lu City would report about this trade meet.
Suddenly, a twist of events disrupted everyone’s train of thought.
This level of tremor was not at all common in Lu City.
If the Si Ning Mansion was like this, wouldn’t the tremors in other places be even stronger!?
Just then, a middle-aged man escorted by two young people entered the banquet hall.
Yin Nanzhen chose not to stop them, rather he jogged over to Fang Mu and began speaking.
“Young master, there’s a big problem in the seas around Lu City!”
“The man who arrived is the deputy commander of Lu Du Sea Reserve Army Corps.”
“He says that there has been a super tsunami in Lu City. The sea Guardian Beasts have planned and premeditated an attack on Lu City.”
“He’s here firstly to report the news, and secondly to hope that the major powers of Lu City can join hands to overcome this crisis together.”
Upon hearing Yin Nanzhen’s words, Fang Mu’s brows furrowed instantly.
For a moment, Fang Mu began to doubt whether he was cursed like the character Conan from the legends—how come wherever he went, a crisis would break out?
He had just experienced the turmoil caused by the Evil Heart Sect in JA City, and now he has come to Lu City only to encounter an attack by the Sea Beasts.
Comparatively, an attack by the Sea Beasts on Lu City is much more terrifying than the assault of the Evil Heart Sect on JA City.
At least with the attack on Lu City by the Evil Heart Sect, it was possible to probe how many strongmen the enemy had, making preparations and countermeasures possible.
But the Sea Beasts were all hidden beneath the sea, where the surging waters provided an excellent cover for them.
They thoroughly concealed those formidable Sea Beasts in the deep sea.
As soon as any human strongman ventured into the sea to clear out the Sea Beasts, these formidable beasts would instantly reveal themselves.
They would then launch attacks on those human strongmen.
However, humans and the Sea Clan had an agreement. Humans established a closed season during which over four-fifths of the year was restricted from fishing in the sea waters.
That is the primary reason why the Fishing Festival is held only once in such a long time.
Shui Miao, feeling the degree of the tremors beneath his feet, spoke seriously,
“Ah Mu, based on the current intensity of the tremors, this tsunami has exceeded level sixteen.”
“To bring about a tsunami of this magnitude, there must at least be more than one Sea King involved.”
“Even the Sea Emperor might have appeared in the Dust World!”
“This matter is of great significance; it is an even more dangerous disaster than a Disaster Level Dimensional Rift opening in the middle of a city!”
“What are you planning to do?”
“Based on my understanding of the Sea Clan, they must have made thorough preparations for their attack on Lu City.”
“Otherwise, the Sea Clan would never rashly attack.”
If Fang Mu were in Lu City alone with She Wan, unable to control or interfere with the situation, he would choose to look out for himself.
But now that both Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun, two official members of Starwheel, are with him, Fang Mu, being a native of the Dragon Rising Federation in this lifetime, does not want to see Lu City destroyed by the Sea Clan.
If Lu City were to be ravaged, the most pitiful would always be the ordinary people.
The Beast Masters at least have a chance to resist and survive, but those ordinary people don’t even have the chance to resist.
“Ah Shui, Elder Shu, what do you think our chances are of helping Lu City through this crisis if we lend a hand?”
Once Fang Mu spoke, both Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao understood his intentions.
For the current situation, even Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun’s thoughts aren’t very optimistic.
Because both understand that helping Lu City through the crisis, as Fang Mu said, means safeguarding the city.
Protecting Lu City naturally means protecting its citizens.
Among a host of Dimensional Rifts, creatures from the Water World aren’t powerful.
However, the Water World Dimensional Rift was once considered the most troublesome Dimensional Rift.
The reason why the Water World Dimensional Rift is troublesome is that it changes the inherent environment.
It turns lands into seas, instantly drowning those who can’t swim.
Those who could swim would be dragged by the current to the bottom of the sea, becoming prey to the aquatic creatures.
Just like the opening of a Water World Dimensional Rift, a tsunami caused by sea creatures would have the same effect as that of the opening of a Water World Dimensional Rift.
Even powerhouses like Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao can’t ensure the safety of the ordinary people under such extreme conditions.
“Ah Mu, for us, it’s not difficult to ultimately deter this attack on Lu City by the Sea Clan.”
“But it is difficult to safeguard Lu City.”
“Since the Sea Clan caused this incident, the losses in Lu City have become immeasurable.”
“By now the sea water should have already flooded into Lu City, destroying the city’s port.”
“Otherwise, the Lu Du Sea Reserve Army Corps, with their strength, wouldn’t be seeking help from the outside!”
While Fang Mu was talking with Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun, the deputy commander of the Sea Defense Corps who rushed to the trade meet spoke solemnly and deeply.
“Most of you here represent the local powers of Lu City.”
“Now Lu City is in danger, facing the sudden invasion of the Sea Clan, your immediate assistance is needed!”
Ever since Li Yuanchao became the deputy commander of the Lu City Sea Defense Corps, he has been committed to the development of the Corps itself.
