Chapter 3701 Cry for Help
"Island Lord, the allied forces... have been completely wiped out..."
Reijin's mind went blank, and he abruptly stood up: "What did you say?"
"The strength of the false god's followers exceeded our expectations, and the Mishima alliance was completely wiped out."
Xavier's voice was hoarse. He had accidentally aggravated his wound due to his excitement, and after a few breaths, he forced himself to continue speaking despite the pain.
"The false god's followers summoned a large number of terrifying monsters from the portal. The allied forces' defensive barrier couldn't hold out at all and was breached in just a few minutes! All the divine servants who participated in the battle, including Qu Jiuge and Alaric, were killed. I was lucky enough to barely survive."
Reijin was somewhat incredulous, and stood there stunned.
It took him a while to recover from his shock, and he said sternly, "Didn't you say you were 90% sure?"
Xavier felt bitter inside.
He didn't know where his confidence came from back then.
Let alone 90%, even if all three major island forces were to come out in full force, their chances of winning would probably be less than 10%.
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate misjudged the enemy's strength... The combat power of those summoned creatures far exceeded expectations..."
"waste!"
Lei Jin was so angry that he trembled all over.
Ninety percent certainty? Ninety percent my foot!
He never expected that the elite allied forces on the three main islands couldn't even hold out for an hour.
What should we do now?
Although he had ordered his subordinates to immediately begin setting up the ritual to awaken the deity, even with the most optimistic estimate, the ritual would take at least 24 hours to complete.
Regin asked, "Where is the false god's fleet? Where are they now?"
Xavier gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I don't know. They may still be clearing the battlefield. However, their previous direction was towards our Sea God Island. I urge the Island Lord to make preparations as soon as possible."
Regin was furious.
ready?
At this point, how can he possibly prepare?
All the wonderful plans we had made before have come to nothing.
They used to dominate three main islands, but now they can't even protect their own islands!
Reijin suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "There's simply not enough time. Is there any other way to delay the arrival of the Pseudo-God Fleet at Seagod Island?"
Xavier was heartbroken.
What can he do?
Are we really going to send people there to their deaths in order to stop the advance of the false god fleet?
correct!
Lyanna!
They have a way!
Xavier immediately said, "My lord, Lyanna and the other woman mentioned to me that they have the ability to awaken a divine statue within 12 hours."
12 hours?
It's still not enough.
But it's at least twice as fast as 24 hours!
"Someone come here!"
Without further hesitation, Regin shouted, "Someone! Go to the guest room and bring over Lyanna the Divine Servant and that gentleman! Immediately! There can be absolutely no delay!"
……
Inside the guest room.
Following Fang Heng's instructions, Lyanna sat quietly in the room and waited.
Just now, a noisy commotion came from the direction of the harbor outside the balcony.
It seems that news of the coalition's defeat has already reached the main island.
Just then, a spatial fluctuation appeared in the middle of the room without warning.
Fang Heng stepped out from the spatial ripples.
At the same time, the split body beside the bed silently shattered, turning into specks of light and dissipating.
Lyanna immediately stood up and knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty."
Fang Heng stretched his neck and said, "The trouble at the front has been resolved. Let's get ready; the island lord should be coming to find us soon."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the guest room, followed by a respectful knock on the door.
"Lady Lyanna, the island lord requests your presence!"
The person outside spoke respectfully, but with an barely concealed anxiety in their voice.
They arrived quite quickly.
It seems that this wave of pressure has been put in quite a bit.
Fang Heng chuckled and said, "Let's go, let's hear what Island Master Lei Jin has to say."
The two pushed open the door to the guest room, where two priests of the Eternal Night Tide were already waiting. Their attitude was completely different from when they arrived; they bowed very low and spoke with great respect.
“Lady Lyanna, sir, the island lord awaits you both at the central temple. Please follow me.”
Lyanna nodded gently and followed the priest through the corridor toward the central temple.
The atmosphere along the way was completely different from before.
The number of patrol teams on the island has increased significantly, and everyone looks tense. Occasionally, when someone looks up and sees Fang Heng and Lyanna passing by, they will subconsciously take a few more glances.
Xavier was already waiting in front of the temple's stone steps. When he saw Fang Heng and his companion arrive, he stepped forward to greet them, saying, "Gentlemen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Lyanna looked up at Xavier and suddenly felt an urge to laugh.
Xavier's face was covered with congealed blood scabs, his chest was wrapped in layers of gauze, and his right arm was also wrapped in gauze and hung from his neck, making him look miserable.
Fang Heng glanced at Xavier, a slight smile appearing on his lips, and said, "Xavier, it seems the battle at the front is not going well."
Xavier's smile froze for a moment.
Damn it!
This is not the time to turn against each other.
Xavier told himself to stay calm, suppressed his anger, forced a couple of dry laughs, stepped aside to make way, and gestured with his hands.
"Please come in, gentlemen. Let's go inside and discuss this further."
……
The inner sanctuary of the central temple.
Reijin rose from his seat and personally led Fang Heng and Lyanna to their seats. He then ordered tea to be served, his attitude much better than before.
After the tea was served, Lei Jin couldn't help but speak first.
"Gentlemen, to be honest, the situation on the front lines has taken an unexpected turn."
Lei Jin said in a deep voice, "When the Three Islands Joint Fleet intercepted the Pseudo-God Fleet, it encountered a group of unknown summoned creatures. The intelligence was seriously insufficient beforehand. The number and combat power of those creatures far exceeded our expectations, which led to the front line responding hastily and suffering heavy losses."
"Including Qu Jiuge of the Sea of Nature and Alaric of the Sea of Rage, none of the divine servants who participated in the battle survived."
"After discussing it with Xavier, we believe it's time for us to activate the divine deity statue."
Lyanna nodded to herself.
Just as Fang Heng had guessed, the island lord felt the pressure and began to actively request the invocation of the divine statue.
Just as Lyanna was about to agree, Fang Heng spoke up from the side: "We understand, but didn't the island lord say before that the flow of power inside the statue was still sluggish and required a few days of guidance ritual training? Why is it suddenly no longer needed?"
The hall was silent for two seconds.
Lei Jin's smile faltered, and he swallowed hard, wanting to say something but unable to.
Lyanna almost burst out laughing when she saw Lord Regin's expression.
She had dealt with Lei Jin several times before and knew all too well how cunning he was. Of the three main island lords, Lei Jin was the most calculating and shrewd. She often heard the island lords curse him as an old fox.
I never expected to see this old fox suffer repeated setbacks at Fang Heng's hands.
It was truly a relief.
Regin was extremely displeased, but he knew very well that time was running out. Lyanna and her companion were extremely knowledgeable about the divine statues; without their assistance, the Isle of Seagod alone simply couldn't activate them in a short time. (End of Chapter)
