Chapter 727 Back up
"What the...?!" Jabba took a step forward, startled
When Jabba activated the array, he conjured up in his mind the view of the open ocean and the back scales of huge beasts floating on the surface, but what he saw was a chilling sight...
He saw a bridge of ice cutting the ocean in half, an endless bridge that seemed to be coming from the direction of the western region!!
At this moment, there were more than two hundred thousand users of the water path of different races standing side by side in the front rows, turning the water into extremely solid ice, it appeared more like crystal! And not just a layer sufficient to walk on, but from their numbers and the intense focus shown on them, it was clear that they wanted to freeze this bridge from the Surface to the very bottom of the ocean!
Not only that, directly behind them, the users of the earth and plant paths were cutting open the ocean floor and extracting pillars to strengthen the bridge, increase its size, and create foundations for it.
As for behind those vanguards, the ice bridge was not showing its color due to the large number of people standing on it, hundreds of millions, no, these numbers can certainly be mentioned in billions. Most of them were old people, women, and children, advancing slowly, one step after another, as the bridge became longer.
On the sides of the ice bridge, there were users of Fire, Wind, Divine Tattoos, and all other known paths fighting the sea beasts and pushing them away from their families, a large number of whom were holding golden weapons!
Within sight, Jabba and the two elders noticed powerful energy explosions and rapid evaporation of the ocean water. When he zoomed in a little, Jabba found a battle between three Demon Emperors, against a giant sea snake. It was clear that they were trying to keep it away from the bridge!
The three were astonished... Their formation was strong and their preparation was clearly sufficient, and they also had the support of Demon Emperors who appeared to be from the True Beginning Empire. They were undoubtedly able to reach the Eastern Region safely, but... Two things caught the attention of the three of them:
The first: The faces of everyone, whether they were mortals or law users, all had expressions of panic and fear, all of them wanting to advance and reach the eastern region as quickly as possible... And the second: Until this moment, they had not found a single giant among them.
"Are these... Are these the residents of the western region?!" The correspondence elder muttered in amazement
Even Orzon seemed to have fallen under a spell, "They are trying to create a permanent bridge to connect the two regions..."
"...But why?" Jabba asked in shock, the exodus of the residents of the central region was shocking enough, and now the residents of the western region are coming in as well.
The elder of Correspondence put his hand on his chin, "It is impossible for this type of coordination to be random. The only entity capable of doing something of this magnitude is..."
".. They are the Shadow Swords and no one else." Orzon furrowed his eyebrows, "Is it possible that they are planning to create a famine in the eastern region?!"
Even Orzun, who appointed himself as the primary defender of His Excellency and his subordinates, could not help but think that something bad was happening now. They had barely managed to unite the eastern region under their authority, and then they found two other regions invading their lands. Each of the five regions holds around 15 billion intelligent beings, How will they deal with all of these?!
"Creating famine?! Right, how could I not have thought of this? Taking in a few billion people at once would create instant famine. Why would His Excellency do something like this to us? We did not refuse him anything during the last few years!!" The elder of correspondence spoke in horror, "If the intention is to really harm us, then we are doomed. We can fight those invaders, but His Excellency as well? No, no, no.."
"HEY! Has dementia eaten both your heads? The land of Nihari is always fertile. If you eat grass and wild fruits, you will survive. This is not to mention the modern farming techniques that His Excellency gave you. Have a little good faith in your benefactor." Suddenly a harsh voice appeared among them, a masked figure dressed in black revealed himself
"Oh, it's just passing thoughts. Sorry, really sorry." Orzon quickly scratched his head, and a few drops of sweat started to appear on his forehead, it's not every day he sees an Emperor of the Dark Path.
Jabba was not as surprised by the newcomer, "Next time ask permission before you get close, I might react out of instinct and knock out your teeth or something."
"Your authority is reserved, Nihari Union Sect Master, but please show more respect to the Shadow Swords Organization, none of us are going to lose their teeth anytime soon." Shadow Sword spoke in his artificial voice, but even in his artificial tone one could sense the deep pride inherent in him, "I don't want to waste anyone's time so Let's get to the point... His Excellency said that the eastern region would face difficulties against the invaders, so he ordered the residents of the central and western regions to be transferred here to help you. They will all listen to orders, and he also ordered that we send them sufficient equipment and supplies... By doubling the numbers of your soldiers three times, His Excellency believes that he can feel safe on this front, Can we rely on you?"
"Of course, Of course, that's great! You should remember to thank His Excellency for us and--" Orzon quickly stepped forward in joy
But Jabba's voice interrupted him, "WAIT, you said this front? Does he want to secure THIS FRONT? Is Master-- no, His Excellency Robin Burton, is joining the war?!"
