Chapter 524: Surprise Attack on Geran Island

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Without wasting time, Yang Ling quickly took action after instructing the group to be more alert. Before he left, he brought along the hundreds of Magic Crystal Cannons and a dozen Dragonbone Battle Carriage that the Magical Beast Military Factory had rushed to produce, making his fullest preparations.

However, he had another thing to do before he launched a surprise attack on Evil Demon Island. That was to heavily protect each of his Teleportation Formation, in case the army of the Evil Demon Island used the Teleportation Formation to launch a surprise attack on the Magical Beast Territory once again.

According to Graham’s memories, in preparation for their mission this time around, the Sea Demon King had used powerful magic and immense speed to set up five Teleportation Formations. Not only were the Teleportation Formations set up on desolate islands, but there were also several elites stationed there, all of them receiving a continuous stream of manpower and logistics from Evil Demon Island.

Using his immense speed, Yang Ling managed to reach Geran Island, where the first Teleportation Portal was located by daybreak. This was the base of where the army of the Evil Demon Island attacked the Magical Beast Territory from. Not only was there a giant Teleportation Formation here, but there were also over five hundred elite soldiers defending the area.

Geran Island was not large, not much larger than Wissen Town, and was situated just over a thousand miles away from Sallero Harbor.

Geran Island had lush greenery, covered with wild Breadfruit trees, and several smaller islands were surrounding the perimeter of the island. Looking down from high up in the sky, one would realize that there were also several tattered wooden huts on the island. Unfortunately, most of them have been destroyed beyond recognition. Because of the savagery of the pirates, the citizens of the island had either met with misfortune or have long since moved away.

There were hidden currents in the seas near Geran Island, as well as many obscure corals. Even though there was a great supply of fish here, most fishermen would not choose to fish here even when they did not have a large harvest somewhere else. The coastline of the Magical Beast Territory was too long, and the soldiers could only place their attention on a few important spots. It was rare that they would patrol near the seas around the desolate Geran Island, giving Evil Demon Island the chance to set up a base here.

Whoosh…

It was the middle of dawn when the sea breeze was at its coldest. Other than a few scouts, most of the members of the Sea Tribe on the island were fast asleep under the sounds of crashing waves. No one saw the ephemeral figure of Yang Ling flashing past the island. No one knew that an unprecedented crisis was about to befall them. “Banks, come, take a few sips of this to warm up your body!” After chugging a mouthful of hard liquor, a Tiger Shark Warrior nearly five-meters tall stuffed a bottle of wine to the hands of a Fishman.

The Tiger Shark Warrior was strong, the muscles on his body towering high. He had copper skin that was prevalent amongst members of the Sea Tribe and looked healthy and full of vitality. He carried a giant ax on his back. The ax was etched with complicated patterns as if it had been imbued with some kind of magic.

Unlike the Tiger Sharkman, the Fishman beside him was not even a meter tall, his body covered with tightly-knit silver scales as if he was donning a layer of silver armor. He had white hair and was dressed in a long white robe while wielding an azure blue magical staff. It seemed like he was an old Fishman Spellcaster.

“Hey, Erie, do we have news from Miss Eliza and the rest?” The Fishman by the name of Banks heaved a sigh, extremely worried.

Even though the Sea Demon Eliza had left with over a thousand elites and was accompanied by two Divine-level Experts with strong abilities, but Banks was still a little worried. After all, the leader of the Magical Beast Territory was hailed as the most terrifying Great Demon King in the Tailun Continent. Not only could he summon a large number of Magical Beasts to do battle, but his individual abilities were also deep beyond comprehension. After not receiving any news from her for an entire day, he could not help but feel more and more worried.

“What are you afraid of, Miss Eliza herself has already advanced to the divine level and is extremely powerful. Coupled with the two old monsters, there will definitely be no problem. She would be able to retreat safely even if any accidents were to occur!” The Fishman was extremely worried, while the Tiger Sharkman by the name of Erie thought nothing about the situation, “The two cursed old monsters snatched away a few young ladies the moment they stepped onto the island, and even directly killed them after they had their fun. They are more merciless than the old monsters that have been here in the past. I wonder where the Sea Demon King found monsters like them, hmph!”

“Shh, Erie, softer. Even if you do not wish to live, you should not drag down the entire Tiger Shark tribe!” The Fishman Banks glanced around cautiously, then heaved a sigh of relief when he ascertained that there was no one nearby, “Sigh, I hope that Miss Eliza is fine. Otherwise, if something were to happen in the future, there would be no one left to plead for us!”

Banks had a dejected expression. The young ladies who had died by the hands of the two old monsters were members of his tribe. Originally, the two old monsters had been even more insolent, attempting to snatch any lady who was remotely beautiful in the tribe into their rooms. Fortunately, Miss Eliza had rushed over in time and tried her best to stop them. Otherwise, the outcome would be unimaginable.

There were cruel and merciless monsters amongst the Sea Demons, but there were also kind souls. Eliza was undoubtedly one of the latter. All these years, several tribes have led difficult lives under the pressure of the Evil Demon Island. Without Miss Eliza’s care and protection, their lives would definitely have been more difficult.

“Don’t worry, the God of the Sea will protect Miss Eliza!” Seeing Banks’ dejected expression, the Tiger Sharkman felt a little bad, realizing that he had touched a raw nerve. He then dejectedly gulped down another mouthful of hard liquor.

…

His words meant more to Yang Ling than he intended.

After hearing the conversation between the two members of the Sea Tribe, Yang Ling, who had been hiding at the side, gained a faint understanding of several things. Evil Demon Island might seem to be powerful, but its interior was not as solid as a block of steel. The Sea Tribes that have been forcefully conquered by the Sea Demons like the Tiger Sharkmen and Fishmen looked like they were not only indignant but also filled with vengeance and conflict.

Could he use the conflict between the various affiliated Sea Tribes and the Sea Demons to break the Evil Demon Island from the inside, making it such that Evil Demon Island will never be able to make a comeback ever again?

Originally, Yang Ling had been prepared to summon his Magical Beast Army to rapidly exterminate the members of the Sea Tribe on the island. However, he had a thought after overhearing the conversation between the Tiger Sharkman Erie and the Fishman Banks, immediately coming up with a better idea.

After moving the population of Moroca Duchy, there were now several million people within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, sparsely spread out between the forests, hills, and plains. Even though there was still a portion of the people moving to the side of the sea to live, their population was not significant when compared to the total number of people in the space. As for the vast ocean, other than the oceanic creatures he moved into the space, it was a barren wasteland.

If he moved all of these members of the Sea Tribe into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, not only would he be able to increase the population of the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, but he would also be able to make preparations for the spreading of the Great Wizard’s faith through the sea. He might even be able to incite the conflict between the members of the various other Sea Tribes and the Evil Demon Island at the critical moment, completely destroying Evil Demon Island!

After coming to a decision, Yang Ling quickly summoned the Magical Beast Army and gave an order of capturing everyone alive.

Chitter…

A few thousand Horned Bee Beasts roared in unison and charged outward, splitting into two teams. One team charged straight for the slumbering members of the Sea Tribe, while the rest spread out in all directions, searching for and attacking the scouts on the island. Behind them, Magical Beasts such as spiders and Vampire Bats followed closely, quickly surrounding the barracks of the Sea Tribe.

“Oh, Erie, do you hear the sounds of a roaring Magical Beast?” The Fishman Banks raised his ears in doubt, concentrating as he tried to listen.

“Hehe, Banks, you are drunk even after only a few sips. There is nothing other than the turtles on the beach in this desolate place, where are you going to find a Magical Beast?” The Tiger Sharkman Erie was dazed and drunk, speaking as he gulped down another mouthful of hard liquor. He had spent every day looking at the boundless sea as he guarded the area through the night. A life like this was extremely boring. He could still go out to hunt if there were any Magical Beasts on the island. Unfortunately, there were no Magical Beasts here, but instead a horde of mosquitoes.

“An old person like is getting more and more useless!” Banks let out a self-deprecating laugh, extending his hand to receive the flask of wine Erie was handing him.

However, just as he was about to take a sip to warm up his body, he suddenly noticed a large group of Horned Bee Beasts charging over toward him, fast as lightning. The mass of Horned Bee Beasts covered the sky like a blanket. Behind them were countless Vampire Bats, terrifying Twin-legged Flying Dragons, and powerful Dark Dragons.

Illusion?

The elderly Banks rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After ascertaining that this was not an illusion and he was not dreaming, he quickly raised the horn hanging in front of his chest. Unfortunately, it was too late!

He had not had a chance to blow into the horn when a wave of poisonous stingers shot past the air and hit him. After being hit by the stingers in succession, he felt his body turn limp and helpless as he fell hard onto the ground. The Tiger Sharkman beside him was no exception, falling to the ground without swallowing the wine in his mouth. He has had no chance to react.

“Surprise attack from Magical Beasts, a surprise attack from Magical Beasts…” The Fishman Banks, who had fallen onto the ground, muttered to himself in despair, having a chill in his heart.

Other than the leader of the Magical Beasts Territory, who was hailed as the Great Demon King, he could not think of anyone else who could summon this many coordinated Magical Beasts to do battle. Since the enemy had led the Magical Beast Army and attacked them, that meant that Miss Eliza and her group had failed completely. Even if the tribes left behind to guard Evil Demon Island were not going to die under the manic vengeance of the Magical Beast Territory, they would face hardships in the future without Miss Eliza’s care!

“Only by following me will you and your tribe have a better future!”

Before he slipped into a coma, Banks saw a pair of black eyes and a head full of black hair. Following that, a white light flashed past, and he arrived at an endless beach, the sounds of waves crashing spreading around him. Unfortunately, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, his consciousness more and more hazy. He slipped completely into a coma before he could make out the details of his surroundings.

Under the surprise attack of the Magical Beast Army, the members of the Sea Tribe on Geran Island soon got exterminated. Other than a few who had been torn to pieces by the Magical Beasts because of their stubborn resistance, most of them lost consciousness after being hit by the poisonous stingers of the Horned Bee Beasts and were transported into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space by Yang Ling. Counting them carefully, their numbers reached over five hundred. There were powerful Shark Tigermen, various Fishmen, as well as a few ordinary Sea Demons. There were even a few pink Shrimpwomen.

After ascertaining that no one had escaped, Yang Ling quickly set up an Imprisonment Restriction and enveloped the whole of Geran Island before layering on an Illusory Formation and Gravity Restriction. This way, the Evil Demon Island would have completely lost their means of launching a surprise attack on the Magical Beast Territory. They would not be able to use the Teleportation Formation here even if they sensed that something was off.

To a powerful Divine-level Expert, forcefully destroying the entire restriction might not be too difficult, but it was very likely that they would destroy the Teleportation Formation together with it. Destroying the restrictions set up by the Great Soul Wizard Yang Ling without effort might be more difficult than tearing open a Space Crack!
