More and more sailors started noticing the sea’s anomaly.

Under the horrified gazes of people, dozens of panic-stricken sailors tried to escape from the deck, only to have their chests pierced by writhing flower branches, screaming as they sank into the sea.

The fragrant smell became even more intense.

Lin stood dazed, as the shimmering sea surface was already covered with beautiful petals. In the blink of an eye, all the medium and small cargo ships laden with food and spices disappeared into the sea of flowers.

"My ship!!"

A captain let out a heart-wrenching cry and was about to lunge forward when a crew member beside him tightly held him in place.

In the next moment, one silver-white iron ship after another emerged in the distance. They sailed away from the towering fog wall channel, arranging themselves in line on the sea surface.

"It’s actually the Alliance Legion’s magic fleet..."

Someone murmured despairingly, "It’s all over... It’s all over..."

Immediately after, four magic warships of different designs raised their intimidating cannon barrels high, giving everyone no time to react.

"Everyone, leave the dock immediately!!"

The militia stationed at the dock issued a warning right away.

The next moment, the dusk turned pale white, and cannon fire rained down from above!

Infused with Magic Power, the shells fell like raindrops, exploding on the dock with a blinding light. The poisonous firelight instantly engulfed the silhouette of the black-haired girl.

"Lin!!"

Yuna called out, her mind going completely blank.

With just one round of salvo, the thriving Lulin Port was reduced to a tragic flat ground.

Lin’s eyelashes trembled, and the girl slowly opened her eyes, seeing a two-meter-tall figure in Golden Armor standing in front of her.

Relying on the exceptional anti-shock capability of the first-generation Sun Armor, Decurion Kael actually withstood the bombardment of the Alliance Fleet!

The Sun Armor was already scorched and deformed.

Blood flowed down the armor’s crevices, yet he still tightly gripped the Ash Soil Giant Sword in his hand and did not fall.

"Hurry up and go..."

Staring at the twisted flower branches climbing onto the land, the warrior strained to squeeze out a sound from his throat.

Lin did not waste the precious escape time the warrior bought her. Enduring the piercing pain, the girl hobbled toward the relative safety of the shore.

Yuna came forward and held her friend’s slender body tightly.

Although the Sun Warriors bore the brunt of the cannon fire damage, Lin was also seriously injured.

Yuna looked down to see the black-haired girl’s right leg already deformed, and a huge gash torn open on the surface of her arm by the shell fragments, with the wound deep to the bone.

"Yu... na..."

Large tears streamed from Lin’s eyes, "Help... the others... there are so many people... who’ve had their legs blown off..."

Her voice grew lighter and lighter until she completely lost consciousness.

Yuna gritted her teeth and carried her friend to a safe corner. Soon, a medic arrived on the scene, calmly treating the girl’s wounds and pouring Blood Circulation Potion down the patient’s throat.

All around were piercing cries of agony.

Some sailors managed to escape the port with their treasured Deep Sea Treasures, barely preserving their lives.

To their surprise, the vast majority of Ark civilians did not lose their composure or fall into chaotic panic during the disaster.

The militia members resolutely stepped into the port, now turned into scorched earth, methodically transporting the wounded away under the threat of cannon fire.

Nevertheless, some sailors and dock workers closed their eyes forever.

Yuna’s eyes turned red.

The day has finally come... the greedy beasts have bared their sharp fangs at them!

Clang!

The Ash Soil Giant Sword sliced through the air in an arc.

Decurion Kael cut through the serpent-like flower branches extending from the sea, panting heavily, these horrors crawling out of the sea waves were as hard as iron stone.

Even though the Sun Armor was already tattered and his consciousness gradually blurred, he didn’t retreat a single step.

A vine suddenly curled around the warrior’s ankle from behind, causing Kael to stumble and kneel on one knee. In the next moment, another Ash Soil Giant Sword arrived in time, slicing through the twisted branches and leaves.

’Ssssss...’

Those flower branches hissed venomously in pain. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Can you still hold on, Kael?" a fellow warrior extended an arm.

"Heh, does that even need asking?"

Kael’s mouth curved into a smile, grasping the other’s hand tightly, he stood back up.

He was a tough character who persevered through Lord Ed’s devil training!

The two warriors stood back to back. The eerie and terrifying sea monsters couldn’t shake the warriors’ fiery resolve, and golden blazing winds gradually enveloped them!

Fine flower seeds in the air were instantly incinerated into charcoal by the blazing wind.

Sunlight Flames burned brightly on the bodies of both warriors, countless writhing branches ignited as if by flame, and the sea of flowers trying to climb onto land was thus halted by several Sun Warriors.

"Come on, you disgusting twig monsters!"

Decurion Kael let out a sinister laugh, striding forward, "Listen up! Ever since my first day as a soldier, I’ve been chopping kindling for Lord Lin Lan!"

"Tch, such a troublesome bunch."

On the deck of the magic-guided ship, Horn lowered his binoculars, looking somewhat disappointed, "Not many died in the first round of shelling, and the Pure Beauty Sea Waves gifted by Lady Nightingale to the legion were also blocked."
