Chapter 356 - 217: Sweeping Destruction
“Starlight Continent is the Star Alliance’s minimum standard; the higher the standard, the better the Star Alliance can develop.”
After swiftly reviewing the report from the Starry Empire, Sunan picked up the report from Starlight Academy.
The first was the report on the Magic Ship.
The development of the Magic Ship was a directive personally given by Sunan.
Not only for the development of the Rainbow Sea but also considering that in future campaigns on other planes, the Star Alliance would likely encounter sea battles, so early preparation was essential.
“The three-level division system is sufficient for the Starlight Continent.”
Sunan nodded with satisfaction.
Starlight Academy is still working on Tier 3 Magic Ships, and it will take some time to manufacture them to a usable level.
Although it’s possible to create Tier 3 Magic Ships through synthesis, Sunan does not plan to do so.
After all, the cost of synthesis far exceeds that of manual manufacturing.
In forming a naval force, manual construction is clearly better.
Let the academy conduct its own research; he cannot always do everything himself.
After reading the report from Starlight Academy, only the Star Alliance’s report remained.
It mainly concerns the development progress of the Rainbow Sea.
However, after reading the contents of the report, a strange expression appeared on Sunan’s face.
“Divine Revelation?”
Sunan looked thoughtful.
The plane barriers have not yet recovered, so foreign Divine Spirits cannot extend their influence into Starlight Continent.
The previous Spider Goddess Queen was an exception; through the Dark Demon Tree in the Forest of Darkness, she managed to infiltrate Starlight Continent.
Could another ’Dark Demon Tree’ exist in the Rainbow Sea?
This is a possibility, but not a high one.
By comparison, Sunan believes it is more likely a biological entity disguising itself as a Divine Revelation, manipulating the Siren Sea Demon for some purpose.
“How interesting.”
Sunan’s eyes gleamed.
Fallen Star City is right within the Rainbow Sea, yet Rainbow City has experienced what is said to be a Divine Revelation.
It’s hard not to connect the two.
However, regardless of whether they are connected, or even if it is truly a Divine Spirit, he will not allow such antics on his territory.
The truth could be found by capturing and interrogating the leader of the Siren Sea Demons.
With a plan in mind, Sunan immediately wrote down instructions on the report and sent them to Rainbow Bay.
…
Just as Sunan’s orders were being sent to Rainbow Bay, a war had already erupted between the Star Alliance and the oceanic races.
On the day that the Magic Ships and Octopus Puppets arrived at Rainbow Bay, Sherman and others led reinforcements to the artificial island.
Due to the considerable distance between the three artificial islands, after some discussion, they decided to first occupy the fastest developing, called Coral Island.
The name derives from the Seven-Colored Coral group located four or five kilometers from the island.
The Seven-Colored Coral is a rare material, used to make potions.
This is the main reason the Star Alliance selected the reclamation site nearby, to facilitate the gathering of Seven-Colored Coral.
According to the Star Alliance’s plans, Coral Island is projected to cover an area of 1,500 to 2,000 square kilometers.
However, due to interference from the Deep Sea Naga and Siren Sea Demons, only less than 200 square kilometers of Coral Island had been reclaimed.
Everyone agreed to complete the construction of Coral Island first and then proceed with the other two islands.
Once Coral Island’s construction is complete, the Golem Legion can establish comprehensive defense facilities.
By then, even if the Deep Sea Naga and Siren Sea Demons attack again, they wouldn’t gain any advantage.
Given the limited number of supporting Magic Ships, it would be better to concentrate the forces on one island rather than spreading them out around three.
This way, when facing enemy incursions, they can launch a counterattack rather than only play defense.
Their considerations proved correct.
On the fifth day after reinforcements occupied Coral Island, the Deep Sea Naga and Siren Sea Demons attacked again.
The five Level 1 Magic Ships patrolling the waters around Coral Island detected the approaching Sea Monsters immediately.
Without any humanitarian preemptive warnings, as the approaching Sea Monsters crossed the warning line, the five Magic Ships opened fire simultaneously.
Chh chh chh!
More than thirty beams from the Magic Energy Cannons streaked through the air and pierced through the approaching Sea Monsters underwater, penetrating their heads.
The Magic Energy Cannon is a true marvel of magical technology developed by Starlight Academy, using magic stones as energy, with formidable power.
In an instant, the water was filled with dozens of Sea Monster corpses, their blood staining the surrounding sea red.
At the same time, a blaring alarm resounded over Coral Island.
Sherman and the others rushed out immediately; by the time they reached the coastline, the five Level 1 Magic Ships had already eradicated the incoming Sea Monsters.
“It’s the Siren Sea Demons; they always control the Sea Monsters to attack first during their assaults,” Andrea said grimly.
As if to confirm her words, a loud conch sound suddenly erupted from afar, faintly accompanied by beautiful singing.
Dozens of gigantic humpback whales suddenly broke through the surface of the sea, appearing in sight.
On their broad backs rode hundreds of Siren Sea Demons.
More Siren Sea Demons, wielding tridents and riding Headhunter Sharks, emerged from behind the humpback whales, eyeing the Magic Ships with hostility.
At the same time, shrill alarms also sounded from the other side of the island.
“It should be the Deep Sea Naga; they often attack from different directions separately with the Siren Sea Demons, increasing the pressure on us to defend the island,” Andrea said, her expression heavy.
Fleming clicked his tongue and said, “Enemies who should be enemies unite against us when facing us.”
