Chapter 2389 - 2389 Kings Patrolling the Sea!
2389 Kings Patrolling the Sea!
After watching the three gobble up the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves, Extreme Ocean drank his own cup of Wine of Exquisite Water Waves.
Now that the three of them had finished their cups of Wine of Exquisite Water Waves, his goal had been achieved.
What he needed to do now was to stall for time.
It was said that lies could be uttered at the drop of a hat. Since he did not need to pay any price for lying, what was stopping him from running his mouth?
“It’s true that there are already king-class mermaids patrolling around Mermaid Forbidden Sea! Isa and the rest discovered them while patrolling for me. All of you remember Isa, right? Frozen Ocean is on the best terms with Isa. She isn’t with me because she has been keeping an eye on this matter.”
All of them were aware of how strong the royal attendants’ patrolling sea envoys were. The patrolling sea envoys represented the power of the royal attendants as well.
Each time one of the four royal attendants took in a new Turning Wheel Realm patrolling sea envoy, they would boast about it to the others to parade around their influence.
Frozen Ocean was slightly weaker than Ink Ocean but could compete for the top spot with him because he had the most number of patrolling sea envoys.
Frozen Ocean had tried to poach from Extreme Ocean in the past. The one he had tried to poach was Isa. Extreme Ocean had always held a grudge against Frozen Ocean because of this.
Every time the opportunity arose, he could not hold himself back from bringing it up and embarrassing Frozen Ocean.
Extreme Ocean could not hold back from bringing it up even when they were plotting together.
Extreme Ocean needed to keep the other royal attendants here and to keep the discussion alive by supplying them with fake information.
The king-class mermaids in Mermaid Forbidden Sea held high statuses and were only below the five emperor-class mermaids.
Normally, the king-class mermaids remained in their cities and protected the inferior mermaids who lived there. They would never roam around without intention.
Once the king-class mermaids started to patrol the sea, it meant that something serious had happened.
Thousands of years ago, Grace Sacred Hall’s two rulers had led the four royal attendants in a clash against Mermaid Forbidden Sea.
During the war, Mermaid Forbidden Sea had sent out king-class mermaids to patrol the sea. This was their highest level of war preparation.
When they heard what Extreme Ocean said, the expressions of Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, Frozen Ocean, and the patrolling sea envoys behind them all turned sour.
Grace Sacred Hall no longer had the power to take on Mermaid Forbidden Sea.
Mermaid Forbidden Sea had been silent until now. Were they acting now because they intended to wipe out Grace Sacred Hall?
Grace Sacred Hall was rather weak now, and it was indeed the best time to strike.
In the past, Mermaid Forbidden Sea had been gentle and showed no signs of attacking. This caused the royal attendants to think that the mermaids were only seeking peaceful days.
Otherwise, they would not have been invested in changing the two rulers’ statues.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Thus, Ink Ocean asked, “Are you sure that the information is right? My territory also overlaps with Mermaid Forbidden Sea. Why haven’t I heard any news about patrolling king-class mermaids?”
Once the two large factions clashed, neither side could wipe out the other side. After all, there were only two large factions in the water world. Regardless of which faction was stronger or weaker, completely eliminating the other side would kill half of all the water world lifeforms.
Ink Ocean was always harsh and thorough in everything that he did. But the most he would be able to achieve when conquering Mermaid Forbidden Sea was to kill all of the mermaids. There was no way all of the sea beasts could be killed.
Mermaid Forbidden Sea was large enough to accommodate all the sea beasts, so it was impossible to do so.
But in order to ensure victory, the best method would be to kill the leaders of that faction. This would be the Dictators who were currently gathered in Extreme Ocean’s palace.
Strange expressions came over many of the patrolling sea envoys after they heard this news. However, they quickly suppressed their expressions.
The atmosphere turned tense. Some time passed before Ancient Ocean said, “I suggest that the four of us head out to investigate Mermaid Forbidden Sea. If there are really king-class mermaids patrolling around, we can catch a few of them and ask them about exactly what is happening. No matter how tightly their lips are sealed, there’s no way they will be able to remain airtight!”
Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean’s expressions were grim, and they did not immediately react to what Ancient Ocean said.
Extreme Ocean peeked at Ancient Ocean.
They had caught king-class mermaids in the past, and all of them had been almost impossible to crack. They would rather die than leak any information about the mermaids. Even if they were caught, no information could be pried out from them!
Moreover, the news that king-class mermaids were patrolling around had been made up by Extreme Ocean.
The king-class mermaids were still in their own cities. To catch them, one would need to enter their cities.
This was the equivalent of trespassing into Grace Sacred Hall and would undoubtedly lead to war.
Extreme Ocean had made up the lies to stall for time. Thus, as long as Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Frozen Ocean remained in the palace, Extreme Ocean could adapt to any decision that came out of the discussion.
“I agree with Ancient Ocean. The four of us will be able to look out for each other when we head to Mermaid Forbidden Sea. This will prevent things from getting out of control in the event of unexpected occurrences.”
Extreme Ocean finished speaking, and Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean nodded.
Extreme Ocean saw that it was almost time and immediately instructed servants to serve up the food.
“At a moment like this, the four of us should be united and set aside our differences. Come, let’s eat while we talk! Your patrolling sea envoys can join in too! With all four of us in Grace Sacred Hall, the emperor-class mermaids won’t have the courage to act too rashly unless they plan on getting injured. The four of us should be able to take down a few of those emperor-class mermaids!”
Extreme Ocean spoke with magnanimity. As a result, Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, Frozen Ocean, and the other patrolling sea envoys all started looking at him with a different light. They had not expected.
Extreme Ocean had offered a treasure like the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves at a discussion about getting Grace Sacred Hall out of its sticky situation. He was also clearly out for blood while looking out for the big picture.
Frozen Ocean reached out and patted Extreme Ocean’s shoulder.
“Since you’re the one who discovered this matter and know the most about it, why don’t you give up a detailed rundown of the situation?”
Extreme Ocean nodded seriously.
“I prepared these dishes especially. I even took out several items that used to be hidden away. Let’s talk more after we’re done eating!”
Extreme Ocean started tucking into the food.
Extreme Ocean wanted to stall for time while Evil Source’s poison spread throughout their bodies.
But once the poison spread to a certain degree, they would be able to feel discomfort even if they did not circulate their source-type power.
Thus, it would not be good to drag this out for too long.
