Chapter 153. A Commander Appears in Naval Battle City.
"Advancing to a higher rank... that's a huge resource!! What kind of amazing thing is it??" Zhao Manyan asked, his eyes shining.
"Young Master Zhao, don't even dream about it. Even if we get these resources, you, as a substitute, won't get a chance. Of course, that includes Mu Ningxue as well," Mu Tingying laughed.
Zhao Manyan looked indignantly at Mo Fan beside him.
"Don't look at me, I really don't know anything about this." Mo Fan hadn't looked into it, so as things stand, he really didn't know.
Ai Jiangtu nodded and said, "The mentors have made it clear that resources will not be allocated to substitutes."
"Damn it, they don't treat us like human beings!" Zhao Manyan immediately exclaimed.
Mo Fan shrugged and didn't say anything. That's the rule. Although he was the captain of the National Team, he was just a figurehead.
Moreover, even if they are not just nominally affiliated, they can't really get involved in anything.
Upon arriving in Tokyo, spurred on by the availability of high-level resources, the group didn't linger there at all and went straight to Naval Battle City.
Donghai City is predominantly gray and white, with streets, markets, residential buildings, high-rises, and shops. It is not the place where people imagined it would be littered with demon corpses and covered in battlefield debris. In fact, most of the buildings and roads look new. It is just a reclaimed city with a relatively uniform architectural style. The people coming and going on the roads make them wonder if they have come to the wrong place.
"Get out of the way!!!"
The dike was then raised, and even a hundred-meter-tall sea monster might not be able to cross this steel defense line.
The sirens, with their deep blue skin, suddenly appeared on the street a hundred meters ahead. One of them had a terrifying head with spiky barbs on both sides of its gills that was higher than the roof, like a demon descending upon human dwellings, looking down on these tiny humans who were at its mercy!
However, before he could get closer, suddenly, a circle of silver light appeared around everyone, and even the orange-yellow-haired dog was bounced aside.
He showed no displeasure at being bounced out; instead, he introduced himself.
Both steel embankments curve inwards, gradually converging at both ends to frame a crescent-shaped fortress city in the East China Sea.
"Nobody wants to know you," Zhao Manyan said unhappily. Where did this guy come from? That shout just now startled him. It was just a pillar flying over, what's the big fuss about!
A man with orange-yellow hair standing by the roadside suddenly shouted.
"This is one of the world's four major naval battle cities, but it doesn't seem to have anything special about it, except that it's close to the ocean," Mu Tingying said.
The others were equally surprised that they would be struck by misfortune while walking down the street. The pillar was at least a meter thick and ten meters long, and a large number of the tall streetlights on both sides of the street were swept down by the flying stone pillar.
"Let's go report first." Nan Jue walked ahead, seemingly quite familiar with the place.
"Well, apart from the stone materials being a little different from other places, it doesn't look much different from other cities. The streets are also square," Jiang Shaoxu said.
However, one thing is certain: the people walking around Donghai City are mostly mages. Ordinary people are rarely seen. Even a street vendor with a stall on the roadside is a mage, and the things he sells are materials made from the skin, claws, and internal organs of sea monsters, which are used to make armor for powerful spells.
"Buzz!!!"
Everyone instinctively covered their ears. Mo Fan walked in front and looked ahead. He was shocked to see a stone pillar that had been removed from a building flying horizontally towards them!
With Ai Jiangtu's intervention, the flying pillar was placed directly on the ground.
Just as everyone was about to hear Nan Jue recount her experience of arriving here, a loud bang suddenly came from in front of them.
However, because he had created a silver light shield for everyone, he found it somewhat difficult for a while.
Mo Fan directly blocked the flying boulder with his spatial telekinesis!
However, there wasn't just one of these commander-level sirens; there were actually two!
"Yes, I came here a few years ago with a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau. That was the first time I had ever seen such a large-scale war between humans and demons. We were lucky; the tide hadn't come in yet," Nan Jue replied truthfully.
"This Donghai City looks quite new," Jiang Yu said.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze in that direction, and soon they saw the siren!
However, because of Mo Fan, he was directly thrown away.
"That scared me to death! I thought you guys were going to be crushed to death by that pillar," the orange-haired man said, standing up from the ground and looking at the scene before him.
Although Zhao Manyan and Mu Ningxue were substitutes and could not obtain any resources no matter how well they performed, they still followed the team here for training. Training itself is a kind of cultivation. The more a mage's cultivation reaches a bottleneck, the more training they need. Different experiences, frequent battles, and the desire for power and the determination to break through self-breakthrough will be fully reflected in the training!
"Holy crap!!" Zhao Manyan was so startled by the sudden scene that he almost forgot to cast a spell.
"Well, you're quite good at picking who to save," Jiang Shaoxu said sarcastically.
Viewed from above, this East Sea Fortress City appears as a crescent shape. The towering steel walls can no longer be called walls, but rather a magnificent dike that completely protects the bustling city of Tokyo. It not only withstands the raging waves but also blocks the endless sea monster legions, and is known by the people of Tokyo as the Shield of Tokyo.
"She's closer to me, much closer," the orange-haired man explained awkwardly, quickly changing the subject, "I'm Hirose, nice to meet you all."
Naval Battle Castle is a unique war culture. This East Sea Castle in Sakura Tokyo has long been famous in the world. It has also used blood and limbs to depict a real war between humans and sea monsters on the Pacific Ocean, which has continued for a century!
"Nan Jue, have you been here before?" Ai Jiangtu asked, noticing that Nan Jue seemed quite familiar with the area.
At that moment, Ai Jiangtu's body flashed with silver light, and he immediately attacked the flying pillar.
"How could a pillar fly like that... Holy crap, look ahead!" Jiang Yu was about to ask a question when a horrifying scene suddenly appeared on the street ahead!
The Tokyo Shield is divided into two layers. The front steel embankment is lower in height and its blocking effect is not obvious.
In the direction from Sakura Tokyo towards the ocean, there is a huge fortress city built on the seashore, which is the East Sea Battle City.
As for why a spatial energy shield was created for everyone, it was naturally because of that damned dog.
The sound shook the street beneath my feet, and I felt dizzy.
Mu Ningxue walked down the main road, attracting a lot of attention. Her long, snow-silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making her even more attractive in the world of anime and manga. It seemed that the orange-haired man had been secretly watching her, and then, as fate would have it, he took advantage of the situation to make his move.
"Telekinesis!!"
