Chapter 935 - The Raging Flames of War (Part 1) (1/2)

In this war, not only the underground races had come to participate, but even the murlocs from the sea also came to join in the commotion. This was something that even Sui Xiong had not expected.

The murlocs belonged to the category of offshore race. They were characterized by a chaotic and evil nature. The Goddess of the Ocean, Vorpocus, had absorbed a great amount of belief from the murlocs, thus causing her own nature to waver inconsistently. She went from neutral to evil, orderly to chaotic, then finally, she became an evil god who was somewhat crazy. From being a “mermaid princess,” she evolved into a “female tyrant of the ocean.”

After the fall of Vorpocus, the new Goddess of the Ocean, Ariel, refused to receive and accept the belief of the murlocs. To avoid being polluted by their belief, she even gave up on the development of the coastal region and placed all the focus on the operation of the distant sea.

For a newly-emerged god, this was certainly an extremely difficult choice. But this choice was unquestionably wise. It could minimize the risk of pollution by the murlocs’ belief to the greatest extent—it was better to eat less than to swallow a lethal feast.

But to the murlocs, losing their god not only meant that their souls would have nowhere to go after death, but it also meant that they had lost the protection of a god with top-rated martial skills. The murlocs were never a powerful race to start with. They might have an amazing reproductive ability, but among them, there were practically no decent masters to speak of at all. Generally speaking, for a murloc to grow up to the level of mid-rank, he could already be regarded as a “peerless master.”

Such a race, whether to the humans on land or to the demons in the sea, was simply not worthy of much attention.

So in the years following the change in the generation of the Goddess of the Ocean, the murloc race went through a very difficult time. They somehow felt like they were monkeys in the middle, not knowing which generation had been better for them. But the murloc race’s misfortune was in great contrast to the luck of the coastal inhabitants. For the past few decades, the murlocs were placed in a difficult situation, so naturally, they were unable to make use of their aggressive ability to invade the sea race. Therefore, the coastal inhabitants were able to live in peace for many years.

But such peace only lasted up till this very day.

The capital of the Mifata Federation, the “Highest Tower,” was not far from the sea. It was located in the huge warning array that was right in the middle of a magic tower. And the God of Spellcaster, Lamperus, had personally overlooked the construction process of this magic tower, which was already beginning to emit dazzling red light.

This red light, of course, was sending out an alarm.

The Sage of Life and Death, Mill, was the one in charge of monitoring this warning array. He was the teacher of the Sage of Dead Soul, “Tu Ya’an,” and the “King of Trees,” Tello Hailaer. He was also one of the most powerful Legendary Masters in the Mifata Federation.

At the sight of the glowing warning array, Sage Mill first froze momentarily. Then right at once, he operated the array, strengthening the detection in the direction where the warning alarm was sent from.

The moment he had a detection, his expression suddenly registered a great change. Without thinking twice, he sent a message to all the Legendary Masters of the Mifata Federation.

“Sea race invasion! I’m afraid the sea people are turning out in full strength!”

All the Legendary Masters who remained in the human world received this news. Other than the few who were in the midst of some very important matters and could not stop halfway, all the others hurriedly rushed to the Highest Tower and arrived right beside the warning array.

The array that was controlled by Sage Mill was blood red now. This was the highest degree of warning alarm.

“How many sea people have come?” a Legendary Master asked.

“It’s impossible to come up with a rough estimate,” replied Sage Mill. With a grave expression, he said, “It has far exceeded the upper limit of what this array can estimate.”

“Far exceeded the upper limit? How is that possible!”

“When this array was built back in the years, the possibility of an invasion by the sea race was also taken into consideration…”

“Those shrimps are crazy!”

These Legendary Masters went on complaining. More than one had even flown out of the tower and used his own means to personally observe the situation in the sea.

Just one glance was enough to suddenly evoke changes in their facial expressions.

The part of the sea near to the Highest Tower might seem unchanged on the surface, but right now, beneath the surface of the sea, countless murlocs had gathered.

The number of murlocs was too many, simply too many. There were so many of them that they stacked over each other, one by one, and formed a dense crowd that filled a vast expanse of the sea.

In the face of such a number, indeed, it was really “hard to estimate!”
