Chapter 155. High Tide Day, Farming Points
After clarifying the situation, Lai Hengbao left, reminding everyone before he left that there would be a high tide the day after tomorrow, and that they should put on their battle gear and prepare for battle.
Zhao Manyan also succinctly explained the relationship between the two situations.
"So, even if we had taken action before, we wouldn't have gained anything. These little punks are quite the players," Mo Fan said.
"Captain, you've been to Naval Battle City before?" Nan Jue asked Mo Fan.
"No, I just heard it from a hunter mage," Mo Fan said.
"I see."
Because the tide was expected to come in the day after tomorrow, everyone was free to move around the day before. Mu Ningxue went out for a walk and recounted her experience of encountering the drowning curse.
But compared to the drowning curse, everyone was clearly more concerned about tomorrow's high tide.
They were 'lucky'; they encountered a huge tide as soon as they arrived!
"Rumble rumble rumble~~~~!!!!"
Nan Rongni lowered her head as if she were ashamed.
Everyone else was puzzled.
"Damn, I only knew that the tides were surging before, but after witnessing it with my own eyes, I realized that it's something that words can't describe!" Jiang Yu exclaimed.
Early on the new day, they arrived at the neighborhood they were to guard.
"You son of a bitch, is your brain all over your chest? You're supposed to be from the Ocean Academy, how could there possibly be a baby in Naval Battle City!" Mo Fan cursed directly.
The original Donghai City was further divided into thirty-two blocks, and on the rooftops of the buildings in each block stood several mages. Looking down from above, the number of these mages was equally astonishing.
It was only then that everyone suddenly realized what was happening.
"That's Bai Qi Yao," Jiang Yu said at this moment.
The others immediately perked up and prepared for the horde of sea monsters.
What Mo Fan and the others were facing were many creatures with fan-shaped fins on their heads. Their bodies were green with rough skin, and their lower bodies were similar to the White Crying Demon from before, resembling frogs. They could swim in the water and stand on the shore!
The sea was foggy, and now the fog is like a torrential downpour, soaking everyone.
After the tide surged into Donghai City, it was divided into countless streams by the buildings. Each stream, like a flood, filled the streets and submerged the lower half of the buildings.
The tidal wave that was attacking the city at this moment was a monstrous tide that had been chanted by countless sea monsters. Its surging height could easily sweep over the low dike at the front, and it was more like a giant blue and white tongue that was about to sweep the sea city into the belly of the sea!
"Go save them quickly!" Nan Rongni didn't think too much and immediately jumped towards the building next to her.
The booming sound was so loud it felt like my eardrums were going to burst. There were also some Sakura Mages shouting in my ears. Judging from their expressions, this tide must have exceeded their original estimates. Even the formation they had set up had to be changed at the last minute.
"These buildings were specially reinforced to prevent moisture damage, but so many of them were still washed away, which has drastically reduced our living space."
"Prepare for battle!" Mo Fan continued.
However, before she could jump out, she was pulled back by a silver force.
"Damn, whose kid got swept into the waves?!" Zhao Manyan heard it too and immediately shouted.
The high embankment is Tokyo's true maritime defense line, towering like a mountain screen and as solid as steel.
Commander-level monsters mostly have scales and armor, their entire bodies are practically covered in metal. Mid-level spells of average power are just a tickle and pose no threat whatsoever!
The clouds stretched to the horizon, not a single gap visible, and the tide line reached straight to the clouds. The visual shock and psychological fear it brought far exceeded the imagination of many crew members who had not experienced naval battles.
Mo Fan ignored it, because he knew very well what Nan Rongni wanted to do.
"Waaaaah~~Waaaah~~~Waaaah~~~~~~"
Just then, the cry of a baby came from below, the sound filled with unease about the impending flood.
Aside from the White Cry Demon swimming by, there are quite a few other sea monsters here, and their target is clearly the humans guarding the top floor of the Sea Battle City.
The tide is definitely not the original ocean tide of nature. The most turbulent tide that ordinary people see is only a few meters high. Standing under a wave that is a few meters high, one can feel the insignificance of human beings.
The bodies of warrior-level sirens are quite rough, with incredibly tough skin covered in bumps. Often, a part of their body has evolved directly into a weapon, making them extremely formidable in close-quarters combat.
"Buzz!!!"
The entire Donghai City is crescent-shaped, so it is actually quite thin.
The people of Sakura did not completely keep the tide out of the city, nor did they stop the sea monsters lurking in the raging waves from entering the city. There were no guards on the entire low dike that stretched like a mountain ridge. They all retreated to the high dike and formed long lines!
Seawater flooded the city, carrying with it sections of previously broken buildings. The blocks closest to the low embankment, numbered after sixteen, hadn't even had a chance to resist before all the buildings in those blocks suffered severe damage: some collapsed outright, some broke in half, some tilted and collapsed, and others were crushed by those that had tilted and collapsed.
Judging from the skin and flesh of these jagged green monsters, they can be roughly identified as a group of warrior-level creatures.
Sirens are also divided into levels. Generally, even if a servant-level siren has scales, they are mostly just for show and do not provide any defense. They mainly rely on their skin and flesh.
"Now I know why the buildings here all look relatively new. They're constantly being destroyed and rebuilt!" Zhao Manyan couldn't help but curse.
Unlike the ancient capital where battles were fought against walls, the existence of the low embankment was purely a boundary, representing that the battlefield was about to begin.
Amidst the blue and white tidal wave, numerous black dots and spots could be seen, densely distributed across the rolling tide. From a distance, it was impossible to discern what they were; only upon reaching Donghai City would one understand that they were sea monsters emerging from the ocean tide!
Nan Rongni was initially quite angry, but upon hearing Mo Fan's insults, she was momentarily speechless.
Nan Rongni was practically thrown back onto the building by Mo Fan.
From above, two magnificent city walls, one high and one low, stretch along the coastline, forming a crescent shape. As the white waves gradually approach, a dense magical aura seems to envelop the entire East Sea City. It feels as if different magical elements have transformed into visible force fields, colliding fiercely and vibrantly throughout the city.
The last sixteen blocks were basically distributed along the low dike, forming a coastal shield composed of buildings and mages. In the past, the neap and mid-tide would not affect the blocks after these sixteen blocks, but this time the seawater easily overwhelmed the first block's defense line, leaving most of Donghai City in a state of utter devastation!
The seawater is full of the wreckage of houses. It's probably more bearable to be hit by the waves, but if these things are mixed in with the seawater and fly in, the power will be multiplied!
The tide kept surging up, initially a hundred meters away from the low dike, revealing a patch of mud and sand. Gradually, the seawater crashed against the low ground, each impact becoming stronger, the sound of the waves like a roar, and the spray like a torrential rain!
The one who made the move was naturally Mo Fan.
Others also agreed.
