They Were Only Commoners (The Author's Assistant Is Acting Up. Can You See the Update?)
Three days have passed since the factory near the Human Race capital was bombed, and since the Human Race and Demon Race announced their military campaign against the Sea Race.
Current time: 9:00 AM, June 11, 1042.
The Demon Race successfully cut off the logistical supply lines of the Sea Race forces Ringwater Continent.
They then trapped the Sea Race on various small islands surrounding the Ringwater Continent.
The hidden anxieties within the Sea Race finally erupted due to the assassination attempt on the Dragon King.
At this moment, the entire ocean was thrown into chaos by this incident, and naturally, no one could spare any effort to send supplies to the Ringwater Continent.
If it weren't for the fact that the former prime minister Guan Xiangming, who was stationed in the Ringwater Continent, was experienced enough to withstand several encirclements by the Demon Race, it would have been a disaster.
At this moment, the islands Ringwater Continent should be covered with the flags of the Demon Race.
Compared to the Ringwater Continent, the Sea Race city located at the junction of Tianpiao Ocean and Azure Nether Ocean was even worse.
Thanks to the fact that the only place capable of influencing the transportation of supplies by the Demon Race Ringwater Continent, was completely tied down.
The fourth and fifth divisions of the Demon Race showed no mercy when bombing the Sea Race's cities.
The Psychic Energy Cannons fired relentlessly for an hour.
Then, the seabed beneath the city walls could no longer bear the weight and began to crack.
To ensure power supply, the large protective shields of Sea Race cities are typically supported by numerous base stations or magic arrays.
The advantage is that it can operate fully automatically, freeing up manpower.
However, the downsides are also quite obvious.
At this moment, the seabed supporting the city wall cracked even more violently, causing the city wall to sway precariously and also develop cracks.
The array patterns etched on the city wall naturally shattered along with it.
The protective shield collapsed, and the entire city was instantly exposed to countless cannon fire.
The Demon Race has no intention of occupying this place.
So they launched the next round of bombing without hesitation.
"Boom--!"
A city was destroyed in an instant.
"Cease fire!"
The moment the city was reduced to ruins, the Demon Race's frontline commander ordered a halt to the relentless artillery bombardment.
This commander was considered a mid-to-high-ranking member of the Demon Race, and he knew that the damage to the seabed was not yet too severe.
Therefore, the Demon Race's Heaven-Controlling Realm was able to help them block the warning from the Planetary Will.
However, if this continues, it could very likely cause the seabed in this area to collapse.
That would likely result in a more serious warning than a mere formality.
"Withdraw, move on to the next target."
At the same time, the Human Race's decapitation campaign against the Sea Race's cities also yielded considerable results.
Two cities located west of the Tianpiao Ocean also fell.
The Human Race also had no intention of conquering these cities.
The Sea Race have vast territories and scattered settlements, so occupying one or two cities is not very meaningful.
However, eliminating all the Sea Race inside would effectively ensure that their supply lines wouldn't be cut off once they penetrated deep into enemy territory.
Therefore, the Human Race high command had absolutely no idea about ecological balance.
They also did not hesitate to bombard the city, which was no longer protected.
Perhaps it's because the Human Race's Heaven-Controlling Realm cultivators are not the type that excels at direct combat.
Or even when bound, Suo Qiaoyun could still use the knife known as the Bound Captive without restraint.
Therefore, the Human Race was not as concerned as the Demon Race Planetary Will's will binding Suo Qiaoyun.
This led to the Human Race's unbridled destruction of the Sea Race' cities.
The number of deaths they caused was also significantly greater than that caused by the Demon Race army.
The Banshee Sea Demon even secretly entered the ruins of the Sea Race city to absorb the immense resentment that filled the entire sea.
This is enough to illustrate the extent of the tragedy here.
Furthermore, this sea area may soon face an ecological disaster due to the sudden disappearance of the city.
But the Human Race high command didn't care, and most of the Human Race soldiers didn't care either.
The Demon Race, who had just bombed another city of the Sea Race, probably didn't care.
They believed the planet would adjust itself.
It's like some of the cities that were previously on land were destroyed.
Just like the various battles and genocides that have occurred throughout history.
The Ruolan Star will always find its own ecological balance.
Instead of worrying about that, we should worry about the fact that the vanguard decapitation team was wiped out too quickly. We still haven't heard from them, so where should these soldiers go?
Just as Human Race and Demon Race were slaughtering Sea Race.
Time flew by and it was already 10 o'clock.
Suddenly, the Sea Race Dragon Palace activated its old communication equipment, which could connect all the Sea Race cities.
Because of the lack of equipment to prevent eavesdropping and surveillance, the high-ranking members of the Sea Race generally do not use it.
But things are different now. They are about to announce some major news, and they hope that all life on Ruolan Star will hear about it.
"His Majesty the Dragon King is in good health and only needs a few days of rest."
"During his recuperation period, Crown Prince Yuanli will handle all affairs related to the Sea Race."
Shisui remotely activated a small portion Yuanli the Rc Cells dormant in the body.
The state of this important puppet is Shisui solely by the weak but stable connections between Rc Cells.
Yuanli cannot die now.
His death could only occur after the Planetary Will had completely subsided.
Therefore, Shisui was monitoring the battle situation in Yuanli Li's territory from a distance.
This ensures that in critical situations, he can promptly provide the Rc Cells in Yuanli's body with the energy for proliferation.
Unfortunately, Shisui Radiant Feathers, located in the Dragon King Hall, was eliminated by the Planetary Will.
As a result, it is impossible to know the Dragon King's current situation.
Is he truly injured and needs to recuperate, or is he planning to further provoke rebellious forces within the Sea Race?
These can all be gleaned from the Dragon King's subsequent decisions.
Yuan Shun, who had been sent to protect Crown Prince Yuanli, returned to the Dragon King's side.
Now, Yuanli has become the Dragon King's agent, and his status is even more important than that of the Crown Prince.
Furthermore, the Sea Race are currently in turmoil, with those plotting to usurp the throne stirring up trouble.
This situation was beyond what he, a warrior more skilled in killing, could protect.
Specialized troops must be dispatched to provide 24-hour protection.
Instead, he might as well be transferred away from the Crown Prince's side, remain hidden in the shadows, and then quietly return.
This is the best way to use him as a "knife".
Yuanli stood in the Dragon King Hall, a place he hadn't visited in a long time.
After confirming that His Majesty the Dragon King did not have any serious injuries, he asked his sovereign with some doubt.
"Your Majesty, our Sea Race is currently in turmoil. Since you are not seriously ill, why don't you step forward to stop it?"
As a "sword" cultivated by the Dragon King, Yuan Shun will eventually be completely given to Crown Prince Yuanli.
He will still subconsciously feel close to the master he initially served.
"I think extinguishing the seeds of rebellion would be simple, but these problems have only been suppressed, not completely resolved."
"The more severe the suppression was before, the more serious the rebellion will be when Yuanli the throne."
"If that happens, the situation will be more serious and uncontrollable than it is now."
Their conversation seemed to tacitly agree that the current Dragon King would "disappear" after the next Dragon King ascends the throne.
Given this premise, the Dragon King's eagerness to eliminate a wave of pests during his term becomes reasonable.
However, the Dragon King, bound by the Planetary Will, obviously couldn't take action himself.
And this is no longer the time a hundred years ago when the Sea Race were not yet unified.
For the sake of internal stability within the Sea Race, this purge must never be carried out by the royal family, or even by members of the Sea Race themselves.
At this moment, attacks from Human Race and Beastfolk arrived.
Now there's no need to worry about finding a way to massacre some of the Sea Race.
Although the enemy will certainly not only kill noble families, they will probably not spare the ordinary people of the Sea Race either.
But when removing the lesion, in order to achieve a complete cure, doesn't it always require cutting away more flesh?
They were just ordinary people anyway, so their deaths were no big deal.
The Dragon King so casually sentenced the Sea Race city, where traitors were concentrated, to death.
