Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

"Your Majesty the High Priest, I cannot agree to this request." Leonor Rhodes hesitated for a moment and finally refused.

Bo Xian'er frowned slightly, but she didn't expect Leona Rhodes to refuse her request.

It can be imagined that the method of taming the disaster fish is very important to Poseidon Island. If this method can be mastered, the strength of Poseidon Island will be greatly improved.

Bo Xian'er said with a trace of displeasure, "Oh, Leonor Rhodes, do you know what you are rejecting? If you are afraid of our ancestral land, there is no need to worry about this."

Leonor Rhodes shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty the High Priest, of course I understand this. It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't do it."

"Reason!" Bo Xian'er's tone revealed an undoubted power.

"Disaster fish that are less than 10,000 years old can usually be controlled by us through the accumulated taming skills, while disaster fish that are more than 10,000 years old need to be blessed by a holy object in the ancestral land to complete the control." Leonor Luo This is explained in detail.

"Huh? Holy object?" Bo Xian'er was obviously a little surprised. She didn't expect that the method of taming the disaster fish would require the help of a sacred object.

"Well, a golden statue that looks like a disaster fish, about ten meters high." Leonor Rhodes gestured about the size.

"Is it because you found this statue that you were able to suddenly tame the disaster fish hundreds of years ago?" Bo Xian'er suddenly realized.

"That's not true. It ate ashes in the clan's treasure house a long time ago. Later, the Supreme Elder at the time discovered the secret."

"What secret?" Bo Xian'er asked.

"This sacred statue can make the disaster fish feel closer to us and connect with us through the ceremony. This is why we don't have to worry about the disaster fish's backlash."

"I see. So, this holy object is an ancient soul tool or related to gods." Bo Xian'er analyzed thoughtfully.

"Yes, you can understand that." Leonor Rhodes nodded and agreed.

………………

Under the sunshine, Xue Bentao, Long Zhenrang and other nine people dragged the body of the Disaster Fish Holy King and walked slowly from the sparkling sea.

Their figures looked particularly tall against the dusk as the sun set in the west.

Upon seeing this, the Hanhai coalition forces on the city wall burst into cheers, and their excitement was beyond words.

"Great! We won!"

"Finally, we no longer have to worry about the revenge of the Disaster Fish and Sea Soul Beast!"

The soldiers hugged each other, with rare smiles on their faces, and the feeling of surviving the disaster emerged spontaneously.

Although the battle was difficult, they eventually won.

And at the moment the battle ended, the joy of victory had not completely dissipated, and the cruel reality was cruelly presented in front of everyone's eyes.

"What are the casualties?" General Liu Rengui looked forward and his heart sank. Although the battle was won, the price of victory was also extremely heavy.

"There are no specific statistics, but a rough estimate shows that ordinary soldiers are more likely to die in battle, reaching as many as 50,000." The adjutant beside him reported in a low voice.

"What are the casualties of the main force?" Liu Rengui asked again, with a hint of anxiety in his steady voice.

"The Vast Sea Qianjun Guards and Iron-Blooded Heavy Cavalry, a team of fifteen thousand people in total, also suffered five thousand casualties. The navy also had two to three thousand, and the losses of war beasts were also huge. In addition, there were also soul masters recruited. Five to six thousand casualties." There was a trace of sorrow in the adjutant's voice, and his eyes swept over the ruins of the battlefield. These brave soldiers also paid a huge price.

Liu Rengui took a deep breath and couldn't help feeling heavy in his heart.

These are the most elite warriors in the empire, and most of them are soul masters. Although they are low-level soul masters, he feels extremely sad every time he loses one, and the empire spends a lot of resources to train them.

Although his command was excellent, one general's success would lead to thousands of bones being wasted.

The victory in this battle was hard-won, and behind every number represents countless heroic lives.

He lowered his head silently and mourned for the lives lost.

The entire sea area was dyed red with blood, and the water was no longer blue, but turned red.

There were countless corpses floating on the sea. Their faces were blurred, but the scars and blood on their bodies were clearly visible.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, making people feel extremely depressed and heavy.

The birds in the sky screamed, seeming to be grieving for these lost lives.

The brutality of this battle is unimaginable. At least Hanhai City has been at peace for a long time. Such large-scale casualties happened dozens or even hundreds of years ago. Tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, including countless young faces.

This number is so huge that it makes everyone who sees it feel extremely heartbroken and desolate.

However, this is not the most terrifying situation.

Due to the attack and destruction of the sea soul beast, the entire coastline was severely damaged.

Houses collapsed, farmland was deserted, cities were ruined, and a large number of ships that depended on survival were destroyed... everything was shrouded in disaster.

………………

"This battle is really not easy." Xixi sat on the ground, breathing lightly.

The battle just now took a huge toll on her, and although she had rested for a while, her physical strength still had not fully recovered.

She raised her head and glanced at Xiaoyi, who was also tired, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved in her heart.

The most tiring part of this battle was her and Xiaoyi, who never missed the fight. In this difficult battle, Xiaoyi always fought side by side with her without flinching at all.

Even Xiaoyi, who had huge soul power, seemed a little powerless at this moment, and his soul power was almost dry.

"Fortunately, none of us were seriously injured." Xixi said softly, looking at everyone.

Although this battle was difficult, everyone did not give up and persisted until the end.

Mr. Chen Xiao was also sitting beside him, closing his eyes and regulating his breath. His face was slightly pale, obviously due to excessive physical exertion.

In the previous battle with the Ancient King of Calamity Fish, he had tried his best. He didn't rest long before he encountered the swordfish army and continued fighting. The load on his body was really too heavy and he needed to rest for a while before he could recover.

Seeing the people nearby carrying corpses one by one and the constant groans, their faces instantly turned pale, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in their hearts.

"We also want to mourn for those fallen comrades." Xin Mengshen whispered, her eyes sparkling with crystal tears.

Luo Zhenjun patted her hand gently.

Xiaoyi on the side nodded silently, with a trace of sadness in her eyes.

On top of the ruins of the city wall, everyone was silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mr. Chen Xiao showed a trace of emotion on his face and slowly said, "This battle is really rewarding."

He knew that this battle was not only a test of his strength, but also a test of his will and belief.

Not to mention, he was also rewarded with the best third soul skill and the Demon Slayer Breathing Technique.

"Yes, I learned a lot from it." Xixi nodded sympathetically.

This battle greatly improved her skills and spirit, and she felt as if she had undergone a radical change.

Xiaoyi also nodded silently, her eyes falling on the ruins of the battle nearby.

Here, she learned what Chen Xiaojun called the "Everlasting Ivy" cage, which can be attacked and defended, making her even more handy in battle.

Even Zhu Wuneng, the precious Qinxin Palladium he inherited is much simpler, unlike the flashy ones he used before.

This person, whether he has experienced the battlefield, is completely different.

At this moment, everyone's mood was very complicated. They felt exhausted and filled with the joy of victory.
