After learning that the team would receive resources to help them break through to the Advanced Level, nobody stopped in the city after arriving in Tokyo. They immediately departed the town for the maritime battlefield.
The fortresses at maritime battlefields were a special kind of wartime culture. The East Maritime Fortress in Tokyo had been popular for a long time. The battle between humans and sea monsters on the Pacific Ocean drawn with fresh blood and limbs had been going on for hundreds of years!
Between the ocean and Tokyo, a huge fortress was constructed by the shore. This was the East Maritime Fortress!
Looking down from the sky, the East Maritime Fortress was built in the shape of a crescent. The steel walls were no longer considered walls, but a magnificent dam protecting the modern city of Tokyo. Not only was it protecting Tokyo from the rolling waves, it was also stopping the armies of sea monsters from invading. It was called the Shield of Tokyo by the locals.
The Shield of Tokyo had two different layers. The height of the dam in the first layer was slightly lower, thus its defense was not as efficient.
The dam behind was extremely high. Even a sea creature over a hundred meters tall would have trouble crossing that line of defense.
The two dams were shaped like inward-curving arcs. The ends gradually combined, giving the fortress its crescent shape.
”This East Maritime Fortress looks rather new,” said Jiang Yu.
”Mmm, apart from the materials used for construction, it doesn't look very different from the other cities. The streets were like squares, too,” said Jiang Shaoxu.
”This is one of the four biggest maritime fortresses in the world, but it doesn't look like there's anything special about it. It's just very close to the ocean,” observed Mu Tingying.
”Let's report in first.” Nanyu walked ahead of them. She seemed to be familiar with the place.
The East Maritime Fortress was basically gray-white. There were streets, marketplaces, residential structures, tall buildings, and shops. The place did not have corpses of sea monsters scattered everywhere, as they had imagined. Instead, most of the buildings and streets looked relatively new. It was more or less a town built as a part of sea reclamation, with exactly the same style for most of the buildings. They almost thought they had come to the wrong place when they saw the huge crowds on the streets.
However, they discovered most of the people on the streets were Magicians. It was rare to see an ordinary person, as even the vendors of the stalls along the streets were Magicians. They were selling materials like the skins, claws, and organs of sea monsters, suitable for being forged into defensive equipment.
Mo Fan did not stay with the team. He already left with Mochizuki Chihaya as soon as they arrived in Tokyo. After all, he still had a terrifying orb in his hands. It was necessary to get rid of it as soon as possible.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
Zhao Manyan and Mu Ningxue were only substitutes for the team. They would not receive any resources regardless of their performance, but they still chose to follow the team to get the training. After all, they could still improve that way. Training was even more important when Magicians felt like their cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Different experiences, continuous battles, the desire to grow stronger, and the determination to surpass their own limits were all provided through training!
”Nanyu, have you been here before?” asked Ai Jiangtu when he discovered that Nanyu was familiar with the area.
”Mm, I came here with a general a few years ago. It was my first time seeing such a huge-scale battle between humans and demon creatures. We're in luck, the tide hasn't risen,” said Nanyu.
The others were gathering their focus to listen to Nanyu about her past experience here when a loud noise suddenly came from ahead.
The ground began to shake vigorously at to the voice. Even their heads felt dizzy all of a sudden.
