Shandia and the Priests' Battle

They were facing off against several priests dressed in ornate clothing and wielding strange shell weapons. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and both sides could erupt into a fight at any moment.

"You outsiders want to seize our land and steal our treasure again!"

A man who looked like the Shandia leader flushed red and roared at the top of his lungs.

"Uh, this land should be ruled by us. You savage Shandia have no idea of its value!"

The Shandia instantly turned his spear toward Mu Chen and demanded an answer.

After spotting Mu Chen, one of the priests sneered, "Hmph, judging by your clothes, you're a Marine from the Blue Sea. This isn't a place you can meddle in. Get lost!"

Mu Chen's face instantly darkened, and he silently cursed his own rotten luck.

But the moment he said that, both sides ignored him.

The Shandia leader snorted. "A Marine?
