"If I had subordinates like that, no, mentors like that, I wouldn't need an entire division. I could conquer the world with just the three of us."
Upon hearing Novamp's words, Lip's beautiful eyes narrowed:
"You can't say that, boss. Aren't our brothers from the Sea God good enough, or am I bad enough?"
"Okay, okay, okay, all is well."
Novamp sighed deeply.
"But that's no reason for me to work these meaningless shifts."
……
late at night.
The nights in Rovanieux are different from the nights in Kanril, and also different from the nights in Bandanda.
Unlike Kanriel, where the nights are bustling with activity, with sorcerers singing and dancing and alchemists setting off fireworks.
It wasn't as quiet and secluded as Bandanda; the only thing in the town that shone with warm yellow lights was the tavern.
In Rovanieu, there are only two things at night.
Stars and the sea.
Wave after wave crashed against the black reef, and the reflections of the stars seemed to collide with the reef in the waves, turning into streaks of light and disappearing.
Yes, the sea here reflects the stars.
This is incredible; even inland, the reflections of stars in rivers are rare because the starlight is so faint.
But it's different here. At night, there's almost no need for artificial light. The twinkling stars fill the night sky, vast as the sea, like a starry dome, beautiful and mysterious.
Luo Xiu and the other two sat side by side on the edge of the black reef, their feet in the starlight-studded seawater.
"so beautiful."
Leila looked up, her mouth slightly open, her eyes gleaming, stunned by the sight before her.
"Yes, it's beautiful."
Luo Xiu smiled and nodded.
Every city has its own unique beauty.
The beauty of Rovanieu is like the starry sky and the vast ocean before your eyes, boundless and magnificent.
Basil didn't say anything. She was very close to Luo Xiu and felt her ears burning. She probably caught a cold from soaking in the seawater.
Suddenly, Luo Xiu's eyes lit up:
"coming."
鏉ヤ 钖楋纻
Leila and Basil stood up at the same time.
"How should we fight, Commander?"
Luo Xiu looked at Basil with a smile.
"You take 70% of the fifth tier, I'll take 30%. Leila, you handle the third tier and below, and the rest are mine."
Basil spoke without hesitation, clearly having been pondering for a while.
The solution she proposed required her to handle all the fourth-tier and third-tier fifth-tier cases, which was no easier than Luo Xiu's approach, and might even appear to have a more stunning visual effect.
"it is good."
Luo Xiu nodded.
After adding points on the ship, Tassanya was just one step away from reaching the fifth tier. Even a random 100 points could have led her to the fifth tier. She had been patient and had not yet reached the fifth tier.
Basil's strength also improved further, and her bloodline was elevated.
Tonight's battle is a good opportunity to practice.
Chapter 232 The Monsters from Kanriel
"Captain, the reconnaissance team reports that there's movement."
The woman who stood next to Amu during the day reported to Amu.
Having guarded the front lines for so many years, they naturally have their own methods for detecting the movements of demons, which are far more effective than ordinary magic detection.
"it is good."
Amu nodded, stood up, and his long hair fluttered in the sea breeze.
He looked towards the black reef ahead. At this moment, Luo Xiu and the others were still sitting in the water without moving, seemingly completely unaware that the demonic tide was about to arrive.
"Arrange for everyone to make preparations."
"If they don't show any signs of alertness within a minute, it means these guys might not even be able to withstand the first wave of demonic tide. We must hold our ground and absolutely cannot let those beasts advance more than 500 meters into our battle line."
"it is good."
The woman nodded and immediately began making the necessary preparations.
……
"Boss, we have a job."
Lip arrived and nudged Novan, who was chatting with a soldier.
"What's going on? A demonic tide?!"
Novamp's expression immediately turned serious, and he stood up.
Lip said:
"It's a demonic tide, but not the demonic tide of our seventh front; it's the demonic tide of the fourth front."
"Oh."
Novamp instantly lost his fighting spirit, sat back down, and prepared to continue chatting with his brothers.
Suddenly, he tilted his head and asked in confusion:
"How did you detect the demonic tide on the fourth front?"
"Because those guys from the [Demon Slayer] group have started making preparations."
"Oh."
Novamp nodded, completely dispelling his doubts, but Lip beside him continued:
"But the newcomers didn't seem to realize this at all."
"They're so unprepared, boss... do you think they'll die in tonight's demonic tide? What if there are fifth-tier demons in this tide...?"
Lip looked worried, but before she could finish speaking, Novampe raised his hand to interrupt her:
"No, please don't, think of something positive, Lip."
"If Lord Luo Xiu dies in the demonic tide today, we probably won't be able to escape either. Let's all sacrifice our lives for Dorant."
Seeing that Novamp still seemed to trust Luo Xiu completely, Lip became even more curious about him.
He knew what his boss was like. Although he wouldn't discriminate against people from other places, he didn't really acknowledge the strength of these knightly orders from other regions.
Now, after just one trip to pick someone up, she's suddenly become incredibly fond of that blond young man—such a drastic change is simply baffling.
She pursed her lips, then took out her binoculars and looked into the distance.
She thought to herself that she wanted to see what kind of supernatural powers this guy had.
……
Time passed by minute by minute.
At this moment, the sea did not become turbulent due to the impending arrival of the demonic tide. On the contrary, the waves that were originally crashing against the shore gradually subsided, and finally the dark sea returned to complete calm, as smooth as a mirror without any waves.
Luo Xiu and the others waited quietly. Finally, Luo Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled:
"almost."
He stood up, and his clothes gradually changed under the starlight, eventually transforming into a dark robe that shimmered with starlight. The seawater that hit the robe was automatically blocked.
Leila and Basil also stood up and walked back.
Their methods all require considerable room to maneuver, which means that at this moment, on the battle line stretching for thousands of meters, there is only Luo Xiu.
This scene naturally caught the attention of the people behind them.
Both Amu and Lip, who was watching closely, were extremely shocked, thinking that Luo Xiu had simply gone mad.
"Honestly, Lord Basil, you should at least make them leave behind anything that can shake monsters out of the water."
Luo Xiu smiled gently, then made a move that no one expected. He looked at the calm sea in front of the Black Reef and suddenly threw a punch.
One punch!
If the earth were to shatter the tranquil mirror of starlight, a colossal wave would surge into the sky, tearing open the night sky.
Countless dark figures surged out of the giant waves; they were mermaids riding on the backs of the swamp lizards. They opened their ferocious mouths, not to show off to the humans before them, but to let out painful howls.
Most of them weren't even at the third tier. Under the shock of Luo Xiu's punch, their bodies collapsed directly, their gray-green blood bursting open, and a torrential downpour of foul-smelling blood rained down.
They did not expect that humans would send out fifth-tier combat power from the very beginning.
It should be noted that a fifth-tier fighter is already at the level of a squad leader, and they usually don't take action easily, only clashing with higher-tier fighters.
But Luo Xiu did not stop, throwing punch after punch, creating a sky full of afterimages.
His speed was incredibly fast; his punches drew lines, connected in a continuous pattern, and finally seemed to transform into a wall.
The monsters crashed into this "wall of fists" and exploded into a jumble of bloody flesh.
Soon, the monsters realized something was wrong. They roared sharply, calling for their high-level combat power. At the same time, they discovered Luo Xiu's weakness.
Even at his current level, Luo Xiu still lacks group attack methods.
He was bombarding and moving at top speed, but he could only ensure that no monsters could launch a surprise attack within a few hundred meters in front of him.
Soon, the lizards dispersed beneath the sea surface and landed on the Black Reef in places that Luo Xiu couldn't reach.
