Unknown places in the Marsh World
Blue skies and clear waters, resembling a miniature version of Marsh World.
The three World Lord, who had just returned from the place where the wizards descended, floated in mid-air, showing no interest in appreciating the scenery. Their expressions were solemn, and their auras were oppressive.
"Lord Heritos, the wizard army is coming with overwhelming force; I'm afraid we alone cannot stop them." After a long silence, the last Level-Four World Lord spoke, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
The current battle situation is clear: the strength of the two opposing sides is obvious. Once the final war World Lord breaks out, he will be the weakest and the first to die.
" Lijialuo and Matuosi have been killed by the brutal wizards, and now the evil Interstellar Wanderer are just as strong as us. We must find outside help to defeat them," another Level-Five World Lord said.
But as soon as he finished speaking, both Heritos and the only Level-Four World Lord's expressions changed drastically.
"Lord Heliao, could it be that you intend to...?" The Level-Four World Lord looked at the Level-Five World Lord had spoken in horror, never expecting that Lord Heliao would be so audacious.
The three of them were the strongest in their Marsh World. To be honest, the three of them were no match for those two Stigmata Wizard.
In this situation, seeking outside help inevitably means turning to other parts of the world.
But once you do that, no one can predict the consequences!
The wizards came to invade, but they can't guarantee that the world seeking their help won't have the same idea!
Even though he was worried that he would be the first to die if a battle World Lord broke out, he never considered seeking outside help.
This idea is too dangerous!
" Yaliso, do you have a better idea?" The Level-Five World Lord Heliao, glanced at the Level-Four World Lord, Yaliso, with extreme dissatisfaction.
This left Yaliso speechless!
Yes, he didn't have a better solution either.
The only thing he could think of was to find a place to hide so that those terrifying wizards couldn't find their location.
Hetoris remained silent, his expression constantly shifting, clearly indicating immense inner turmoil. Seeing his two companions looking at him, they hoped he would make the final decision.
They were all perfectly aware that this was a decision that would determine the future of the Marsh World.
"We need help. Didn't the Interstellar Company we accidentally contacted earlier always want to start a trade partnership with us? Let's contact them this time," Hetoris said in a deep voice after much hesitation.
Or is this unknown land in the Marsh World?
On the altar, which was constructed using water as a base, Hetoris took out a small bottle and carefully poured out a few drops of sky-blue water.
Yaliso and Heliao, standing to the side, stared greedily at the falling sky-blue water droplets, wishing they could rush up and catch them with their own mouths.
When ten drops of sky-blue water fell onto the altar, a ripple appeared in the space, and the originally solid space was instantly torn open.
The torn space wanted to heal, but powerful water-based energy prevented it from closing, limiting the healing of the spatial rift to the size of a fist.
A sound was coming from the spatial rift.
"Respected God of the Marsh World, I am the General Manager of Interstellar Company. May I ask what brings you to us?"
Hetoris, "When we last contacted each other, you said that besides engaging in various trades between planets in the universe, you also undertake various missions, right?"
"Yes, arms dealing, world protection, military intervention to quell rebellions—we'll take any mission as long as the price is right," a voice said with a laugh from the other side of the spatial rift.
"Okay, my world has been invaded. It's a world called Wizarding, with two World Lord, one level four and the other level five, and over two hundred million troops. Their weapons are also extremely powerful."
"How much money would you charge if you could help us drive them away?"
"Respected God of the Marsh World, if we follow your suggested troop strength, only 100 Water Element Essence are needed."
Before Hetoris and the other two could even react to this astonishing offer, the person on the other side of the spatial rift continued,
"Of course, if we find that the actual intelligence regarding the intrusion differs from what you've said, we will adjust the price accordingly."
"Your price is too high; we cannot accept it."
Hetoris could speak, Heliao shouted angrily from the side.
The base price is 100 Water Element Essence. Seeing the strength of their competitors, they're going to increase that price, which clearly tells them that the price will definitely rise further.
The Marsh World produces only one Water Element Essence every hundred years, which is the source of power for these gods. For the Interstellar Company to casually ask for 100 drops is even more outrageous than outright robbery.
"Respected God of the Marsh World, your Water Element Essence is a continuous and renewable resource, not a non-renewable one that diminishes with each use. Even if I take 100 drops, it would only amount to a production of ten thousand years. Given your lifespan, this amount of Water Element Essence is not that important."
"This is a sincere price I quoted based on our first collaboration. We don't have much profit margin; it's just to show our sincerity."
"If you think my price is too high, you can go to other worlds and see if they're satisfied with this."
"However, I want to advise you that while Water Element Essence is good, it's not as important as your world."
The Interstellar Company on the other side of the spatial rift, though speaking in a very polite manner, clearly harbored a tough stance.
It's obvious that Interstellar Company knew the Marsh World couldn't find anyone else to help them, which is why they approached them.
As for the price, wasn't it said that it could be increased after assessing the strength of the competitors?
"Okay, I can accept your offer, but I can only settle your commission after you drive away the invaders."
Hetoris stopped Heliao, who was still arguing, and readily agreed to his request.
Seeing the incredulous look on Heliao's face, Heritos shook his head slightly, signaling him not to speak yet.
"Excellent, esteemed God of the Marsh World! This will be the beginning of our fruitful cooperation. Although our prices are high, we are confident that our service quality will satisfy you."
"I need four years to mobilize the army. Please open the spatial rift again in four years. At that time, you will meet the most outstanding soldiers in the universe. Any enemy will be no match for our army."
"Okay, no problem, I'm really looking forward to your performance."
The cooperation was achieved, Hetoris closed the altar, causing the spatial rift to heal rapidly.
Heliao said anxiously, "Lord Heritos, they clearly have ill intentions; this offer shows absolutely no sincerity."
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Heritos roared at Heliao.
"As long as we control the spatial passage, their army will be in our world, and they'll still have to listen to us."
"It would be best if he genuinely helped us stop the wizard army; otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting them disappear first."
No one knew what the three World Lord the Marsh World were up to. At this moment, the eyes of the entire world and countless lives were fixed on the battlefield!
The battlefield erupted in deafening battle cries, where countless lives perished. If the wails of souls could be heard, the entire Marsh World would be filled with their lamentations.
The wizard army continuously drained the water elemental energy to attack the Water Marsh People army, either freezing them into a continent or creating countless water-based forms underwater to attack.
While the Water Marsh People are quite adept at using water elemental energy, they clearly haven't reached the terrifying level of understanding that wizards possess. The wizards relentlessly torment their fragile nerves with various methods they cannot comprehend.
When they fell behind in the use of water-based powers, the Water Marsh People on the battlefield could only continue to write terrifying battle records for the wizards with their own lives!
If the blood of the Water Marsh People were not colorless like water, then the entire ocean must be the color of their blood.
The slave army was full, but the Water Marsh People filled their bellies with their own bodies!
As for the taste of the Water Marsh People, Leo could only say that it was more delicious than regular fish; the sashimi with a little seasoning was a rare treat.
The meat under the third scale is especially succulent, a delicacy that Leo and Yaoyao enjoy Heavenly Capital.
Leo hasn't left the first level of the mothership since returning. The wizard army on the main battlefield is in a completely advantageous position, so there's no need for him and the Interstellar Wanderer to intervene much.
As long as the orders from the command center are followed, the battlefield situation can be understood.
[At bearing 079, there is a level 3 energy fluctuation at a depth of 3500 meters underwater.]
[A 100,000 kcal/s energy reaction was observed at a depth of 1890 meters below the surface, at a bearing of 125].
After realizing they couldn't defeat the wizard army head-on, these Water Marsh People split up and hid in the deep sea. Taking advantage of the natural protection of the seawater, they changed their tactics, hoping to launch a surprise attack on the wizard army that had infiltrated underwater!
As a result, their concealment methods were thoroughly detected by the mothership, with no discrepancies in location, number, or energy levels.
When these Water Marsh People were weakened by dividing their forces and were defeated even faster by the wizard army, they had no better options left.
They tried to create a tsunami, but ended up freezing them all inside it.
He tried to summon a storm, but the wizard blew it away.
They wanted to ride the giant sea monsters to launch a powerful attack, but when the wizards saw these monsters, their eyes lit up, and they instantly tore the monsters apart and stole them away.
It seems that in the eyes of the wizards, these sea monsters are more important than the Water Marsh People!
The reason is actually quite simple: these deep-sea behemoths are worth more than ten times more than the Water Marsh People. In the eyes of the wizards, they are walking mountains of energy crystals.
[ The Water Marsh People's racial toxin experiment was successful. Using seawater as the transmission medium, the incubation period is one year. After successful infection, the Water Marsh People will develop a fear of the deep sea and a 30% to 45% reduction in their affinity for water elemental energy.]
