In the dark and rapid water, a figure emerged from the water and hovered a few feet above the sea. It was Tang Zhen who had returned from the bottom of the sea.
After glancing at the abyss and the looming continent on the other side of the abyss, Tang Zhen pondered for a moment before heading towards the Hailing Tribe where the Holy Dragon City fleet was stationed.
Through the transaction with the monks of the Virtual Snake Tribe, Tang Zhen had a solution to the problem and even obtained the location of the underwater spring.
According to what the Void Snake Clan monk said, there are many treasures near the underwater springs. As long as you pick up garbage a few more times, you can gain more military merit based on the quantity.
The greatest use of military exploits obtained in overseas battlefields is to exchange for the quota of survivors at sea after the mission is completed.
These cheap exchanges for the remnants of the water world can be used to replenish the number of residents in Loucheng, improve the overall strength of Loucheng, and even serve as cannon fodder in wars.
Maybe other Loucheng would do this, but in Shenglong City, this situation would not happen.
After all, Holy Dragon City has always followed the route of elite soldiers, and there is no such thing as cannon fodder.
What's more, these maritime survivors are not ordinary people, but a large number of monks. They are extremely precious strategic resources, how can they be wasted!
As for the treasures scattered at the underwater spring, Tang Zhen didn't believe that the cornerstone platform didn't know about it, but he still acquiesced in its existence, presumably as a hidden benefit to Loucheng.
In a word, the more ruthlessly and thoroughly you search the water world, the more benefits you will get!
It is estimated that after Shenglong City leaves, this water world will be closed, and after it recovers, it will become an overseas battlefield assigned to other buildings.
In this case, you must not miss this opportunity!
After Tang Zhen returned, orders were immediately issued and spread to all directions!
From now on, all guardian summoners of the maritime tribes must rush to the Holy Dragon City Holy Dragon City Fleet for a period of one month.
For those who fail to arrive when the time is up, or who disobey orders, Shenglong City will send troops to attack their tribes. Once the army arrives, not a single blade of grass will be left behind!
Those who bring treasures to Holy Dragon City will receive generous rewards. The more treasures, the greater the rewards!
Those who sincerely surrender to Holy Dragon City will have the opportunity to obtain the qualification of residents of Holy Dragon City and leave the water world to live on land!
After these orders were issued, relying on various propaganda methods, it didn't take long for them to spread throughout the entire water world!
Those tribes have already known about the existence of Holy Dragon City, and they also know that Holy Dragon City is powerful and menacing and cannot be underestimated.
Nowadays, the large and small tribes that have not yet met the Holy Dragon City basically adopt a wait-and-see attitude. Especially after the Hydra tribe gathered allied forces to encircle and suppress the Holy Dragon City, they are always paying attention to the battle situation information in order to make the next decision.
One step decision.
But after waiting and waiting, they waited for the news that the tribal army was defeated and the Holy Dragon City issued an ultimatum.
The water world that had been silent for a long time suddenly became boiling.
Some people were dissatisfied with the strength of Holy Dragon City and clamored to fight to the end, while others remained silent but secretly sent people to the Holy Dragon City fleet to obtain more detailed information.
Ever since the Shenglong City fleet was stationed, the area around the sea area of the Hailing Tribe has become extremely lively. The warships and junk warships of Shenglong City have gathered together, occupying almost all the sea surface within sight.
The soldiers of Holy Dragon City, the soldiers and their families of the servant army, the defeated prisoners, and the seafarers and tribesmen who came after hearing the news all gathered here.
Amid countless onlookers with fiery eyes, warships would return from time to time carrying shiploads of treasure ransoms, and then leave with more treasures and prisoners of war from Holy Dragon City.
Shenglong City has adopted a tacit attitude towards this, and will allow all kinds of people to gather here as long as there is no trouble.
Even the pirates took the opportunity to become active and kept running around in the water world. The reason why these pirates were so active was because they all learned an important piece of news.
A few days ago, a group of pirates exchanged the treasures they had accumulated over the years for a batch of sophisticated weapons and equipment from the Holy Dragon City fleet!
The pirates who changed their shotguns for cannons immediately became more confident and attacked a small maritime tribe that day, beating the tribe to pieces.
The pirates who had plundered to their heart's content brought a large amount of treasures and the unexpectedly captured Guardian Summoner to the Holy Dragon City fleet in exchange for rewards.
No one knows how much reward this group of pirates got in the end, but according to eyewitnesses, the junk warships of that group of pirates were filled to the brim, and all the pirates were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.
With the deliberate publicity of this incident, it quickly spread throughout the water world, making the pirates and sea vagabonds very angry.
Among these pirates and sea vagabonds, there are actually quite a few masters, but they have just been kept low-key and hidden.
Now, under the temptation of huge profits and leaving the water world, coupled with the hatred accumulated for generations, they have jumped out one after another and cast their greedy eyes on those small and medium-sized tribes.
With these monks as the core, the pirates and sea vagabonds were quickly gathered and began to attack the weak tribes and plunder them wantonly.
Those small and medium-sized tribes were caught off guard and basically suffered huge losses. Some pirates even followed suit and robbed even the Guardian Summoners!
Abducting the Guardian Summoner is actually not too difficult.
Because once the guardian summoner's hands and feet are controlled and his mouth is sealed, he will not be able to complete the summoning ceremony at all.
Without the help of the tribal guardians, the strength of those guardian summoners would not be much stronger.
Even those guardian summoners who were not kidnapped did not dare to summon easily when the tribe was attacked.
To put it bluntly, the main function of this tribal guardian is to rely on its aura to mark the territory and deter those sea monsters from approaching easily.
For the sea nomads, the main role of this tribal guardian is psychological deterrence. If the sea nomads are no longer afraid, then its deterrence effect will be greatly reduced.
Of course, this does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the tribal guardian is not good, but the key point is that summoning the tribal guardian requires a huge price.
When performing the summoning ceremony, the summoner needs to use essence, blood, vitality, and even life force as a sacrifice in order to have a chance to summon the tribal guardian.
And when the tribal guardians leave, they still need a large amount of sacrifices as thanks. Once the tribal guardians are not satisfied with the sacrifices, it will be the maritime tribes that suffer.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, these tribes will never easily summon tribal guardians to come!
In fact, there were not so many rules and regulations when it came to summoning the ancestors of the survivors at sea, and the cost of summoning was much less than it is now.
Those summoned objects were manipulated arbitrarily by the ancestors of the sea survivors, and they did not dare to resist, otherwise they would be severely punished.
However, as the survivors on the sea gradually weakened, the summoned objects that were originally suppressed by the summoner took the opportunity to turn around and become their masters.
They bullied the survivors at sea that there were no strong ones, and began to unscrupulously increase the number of sacrifices. They even decided whether to come when summoned, all based on their mood.
Regarding this situation, the survivors at sea are really suffering, but even though they are unwilling to do so, they still have no solution.
In order to rely on the power of the tribe's guardians, the survivors on the sea had to swallow their anger, but it was inevitable that there would be resentment in their hearts.
There are even some members of the Sea Tribe who wish those tribal guardians would die, because in order to raise sacrifices for these tribal guardians, they all paid an extremely painful price, and some even lost their families!
The water world is not a paradise. The survivors of the sea were brought here with the intention of being punished. Only after experiencing hardships and being taken away from the water world will they know how to be grateful and repay.
And when they repay Loucheng and give their best, they are also contributing to the invasion of Loucheng World!
