Chapter 656
by post_apiChapter 656: Making Waves
Zhou Liao Sea Area
The observation station, tens of meters tall, collapsed, crushed by the monstrous army.
Countless monsters arrived at the shore of Zhou Liao with the waves. The Snake Dragon King and several other fourth-tier monsters, along with hundreds of third-tier monsters, cast spells together, creating waves tens of meters high that surged towards the depths of Zhou Liao, rendering the over ten meter high seawall useless.
"Ahead is Zhenhai City in Zhou Liao, submerge it for me."
Feng Thirteen stood on the waves and ordered the Snake Dragon King and other monsters to cast spells again, sending another tens of meters high wave towards Zhenhai City.
In Zhenhai City, people were screaming as if it were doomsday. The tens of meters high waves could easily destroy some low buildings, even tall skyscrapers were in serious danger.
Zhenhai City is a city built by Zhou Liao to imitate Haigang City in Huaxia. It is the financial and industrial center of Zhou Liao, with a huge population of around forty to fifty million, making it one of the most important cities in Zhou Liao.
Soon, the military stationed in Zhenhai City began to fight back. Hundreds of missiles were launched almost simultaneously, aiming at the monster army by the seaside.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Seeing the missiles approaching, Feng Thirteen transformed into their true form. First, they swung their large wings, summoning countless blades of wind to destroy many missiles in the sky. Then giant fireballs flew into Zhenhai City, engulfing several missile bases in flames.
"Monster army, attack!"
Following Feng Thirteen’s command, many monsters started landing on the beach. There were plenty of amphibious monsters in the sea, so landing was not a problem. The beach of Zhenhai City was immediately occupied by numerous monsters.
"Electric Eel King, go attack the coastal ports. Sink all ships and submarines."
Feng Thirteen issued another command, directing a fourth-rank electric eel sea monster, accompanied by other monsters unable to land, to attack the remaining ports in the area.
"Cultivator, engage!"
"The defense formation is activated to save the people."
Inside Zhenhai City, Zhou Liao’s high-level officials are also urgently commanding. Zhenhai City doesn’t have a complete protection formation for the entire city because the city is too large. The consumption of such a large formation is immense, so only some important areas, such as the city center, can be protected.
Tens of thousands of cultivators in Zhenhai City have been mobilized, with elite cultivators fully armed with the finest weapons. However, most cultivators only have some flying swords, spiritual talismans, and such.
"Attack!"
Feng Thirteen personally joined the battle, bringing along a large number of flying demonic beasts. With Feng Thirteen present, the slaughter was almost completely one-sided.
However, Zhenhai City is not fighting alone. Surrounding cities have begun to assist in the battle, with a large number of cultivators rushing in from all directions. Missiles, rockets, and cannon shells were countless, crazily shooting across the sky.
"What a united mortal kingdom. Hmph, without proper preparation, they really can’t be defeated."
Feng Thirteen sneered, having already made arrangements. He knew how to deal with missiles and the like. Several fourth-order Demon Kings were intercepting them, casting spells to detonate them in advance, similar to the interception weapons of the human race.
At the seaside, over a dozen giant sea beasts pulled a huge ship towards the shore, causing it to run aground. Countless fiery red ants then surged out of the ship. These were a variant of the Spirit Devouring Demonic Ants, which Feng Thirteen had been breeding on an island in the Endless Sea for several years.
There were a huge number of Spirit Devouring Demonic Ants, numbering in the billions. The Ant Queen was close to reaching the third stage of power. Feng Thirteen controlled the Ant Queen and ordered the ant colony to attack.
Although individual Spirit Devouring Demonic Ants were very weak and even a regular person could easily kill them, their sheer numbers were terrifying. If a cultivator was caught by them, their protective shield would be bitten through in a matter of moments, and within a minute, they would turn into a pile of bones.
"Avoid the protected areas of the formations, use them as hostages, and find a way to cut off their communication."
Feng Thirteen continued to command. He knew that the humans had taboo weapons like nuclear bombs, so he left the protected areas of the formations as hostages, and the goal was to cut off communication. Signal towers, fiber optics, wires – destroy them all, let the monsters destroy them.
"The land monsters are also starting to move. I wonder how many bear demons are left."
Assessing the situation, Feng Thirteen saw that the humans were completely unable to withstand the enemy’s forces and were steadily retreating. One-third of the Zhenhai City had already fallen, but it wasn’t enough. They needed more territory and more monsters. Feng Thirteen had made preparations within Zhou Liao before, but he was unsure of the progress of those monsters now.

When Haigang City was attacked, Lin Jiang received the news.
He immediately went from the bedroom to the office. All the projectors in the office were on, displaying various messages – news from the internet, images captured by satellites from Huaxia, and messages from Zhenhai City.
"Teacher, this is what’s happening on the battlefield. The monsters from the sea attacked first, creating huge waves that flooded Zhenhai City and caused chaos inside.
Then, many sea monsters came onto land – some could swim and some could fly. The monsters have figured out how to deal with our weapons like missiles and bombs, so our attacks aren’t working well.
Now, the monsters have entered Zhenhai City. Zhou Liao hasn’t given the order to attack the city yet, and no one dares to make that decision.
More sea monsters are moving along the coast, attacking ports of coastal cities. They have sunk many boats.
Oh, just got the latest news! Monsters from Yunmeng Nature Reserve have joined the attack, including a powerful monster that killed Zhou Liao’s golden core. It’s a terrible scene.
The secretary explained to Lin Jiang what happened, especially the part about the huge bear demon killing the golden core, which devastated the people of Zhou Liao.
"Why didn’t Zhou Liao’s intelligence department find out about the powerful monsters in their territory? Who organized the monsters from Endless Sea to attack Zhou Liao?"
"Teacher, there’s a typhoon in Zhenhai City making it hard for our satellites to see clearly. Our people there think the leader of the monsters might be a phoenix-like creature."
"A phoenix monster? Do you have any photos?"
"Yes, but very unclear, currently analyzing."
"Send it to me to take a look."
"Yes, sir."
Lin Jiang quickly spotted Feng Thirteen. He knew Feng Thirteen. He had lived in the cave of the Small Shadiao for a long time in the past. Feng Thirteen was Lin Fanghua’s classmate and a member of the Demon Emperor Seed Plan of the Demon God Temple in the past.
"Uncle, do you know him?"
"Feng Thirteen, the younger brother of Demon Emperor Feng Jiu."
"The dormant demon clan has awakened?"
Cao Ying was greatly surprised. Just recently they were discussing where the demon clan might be hiding, and now this happened?
"I’m afraid they have awakened long ago, otherwise how could today’s events happen?"
"Sir, urgent message! Zhou Liao has asked for help from other countries to stop the monsters."
"Reply to Jingdu City, tell them to use long-range weapons to attack the eastern seas of Zhenhai City, to stop the monsters’ reinforcements."
"Sir, the weather in Zhenhai City is extreme, it will affect the accuracy of weapons."
"It’s okay, saturation attack doesn’t need accuracy. Also, tell Jingdu City to prepare transportation tools and a troop of over fifty thousand people to be ready for action. And send someone to persuade Qingyun to send troops too."
Lin Jiang said. At this point, precision doesn’t matter. Under saturation attack, firepower is key.
"Uncle, are we really going to battle?"
"Yes, the sleeping monsters must be in Zhou Liao. If we control Zhou Liao, we have a chance to strike them early. This is very important."
Lin Jiang expressed his hope for some sleeping monsters to come now so they could have a chance to defeat them early and prevent future disasters.
"That’s fine, but you stay here. I will lead the team, you stay and manage resources."
"No, I have to go myself. I will arrange for people here, they can completely replace me."
"I am worried…"
"Among peers, I am not weaker than you."
Lin Jiang said something casually, and Cao Ying immediately fell silent. What Lin Jiang said was true. Unless her spiritual energy fully recovered and she regained her Tao Achieving cultivation level, it would be hard for her to match Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang issued orders from the Huaxia side. The Prime Minister of Huaxia quickly mobilized under the name of Huaxia. The military cultivators quickly gathered. The military currently had the most cultivators because most of the graduates from the cultivation academy were specially recruited into the military. Only a small number went into civilian departments, dispersed across various provinces and towns. Very few were wandering in society, unless they were low-quality cultivators.
Military transport planes were also being dispatched with high efficiency. More missiles were being launched from various places. The northern part of Huaxia was not far from Zhenhai City, and many types of missiles could reach there, being frantically launched.
Lin Jiang and Cao Ying set off from Haigang City, accompanied by dozens of close bodyguards, boarding a large transport plane. By the time Lin Jiang and the others arrived at the nearest military airport to Zhenhai City, half a day had passed.
Along the way, Lin Jiang kept receiving messages. Zhenhai City was almost completely taken over. The monsters inside Zhou Liao were constantly attacking. Not only the Yunmeng Nature Reserve, but monsters from other protected areas were also attacking. Feng Thirteen personally led elite monsters to attack multiple Zhou Liao military camps. Zhou Liao suffered a crushing defeat, with hardly any forces left to resist.
