On the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen looked at the sea in front of him, which was covered by lightning, flames, bullets and shells, and knew that the sea tribe had no chance to turn the tables.

Below him, the mermaid wizard Trina was commanding the shark warriors in the back and on the side to move closer to the flagship. Xiao Chen took out the sacred magic wand, the Heart Thorn, and released a mental explosion at several shark warriors who gathered together. This kind of magic that directly invades the mind is very effective for sharks with well-developed limbs and simple minds. The shark warriors, who may not be knocked down by bullets and shells, suddenly stiffened for a moment, and then fell into the water. These fallen shark warriors splashed huge water in front of Trina's flagship, and Trina was so shocked that she forgot what order she was going to say.

Xiao Chen took advantage of Trina's panic and pointed the Heart Thorn at her, releasing a Soul Bridge magic.

Trina only felt a sharp mental energy suddenly piercing her mind, and Xiao Chen's voice rang in her ears.

"Is that enough?" The voice said majestically.

"You! You pierced my mental defense!" Trina screamed. She knew very well that since the other party could use communication magic to break through her mental defense, he could take this opportunity to cast any control, charm, or fear magic in her mind if he wanted. In this situation, her soul was almost defenseless in front of him.

When the other party spoke to her, the world full of blood and fire outside retreated behind the scenes and began to disappear from her perception. All her senses seemed to be occupied by that person's voice.

"What do you want?" Trina asked, her tone no longer had the previous arrogance, and she herself did not even notice the mournful pleading in her words.

"Surrender, then you and the five strongest mermaid mages will come to my ship as hostages, so that we will stop the current attack and let your remaining troops leave." Xiao Chen said.

"There are no cowards in our sea tribe!" Trina raised her head and stared at Xiao Chen who was far away at the bow of Houyi. "We...we...have come so far! Just a little bit, we can..."

"What can we do? Have you caused us any harm so far?" Xiao Chen asked back, "A qualified commander will not let his soldiers die in a meaningless struggle!"

"You said I am not a qualified commander?" Trina didn't realize that two strings of tears had already crossed her cheeks.

"Look at the sea in front of you? More than half of the sea tribe warriors have died in front of you without any value. Do you still think it's not enough? How many people do you want to be buried with you for your unwillingness?" Xiao Chen's face was heavy, "Although we humans are not of the same race as you, killing intelligent life is not what I am willing to do. Or, should I kill you and give others a chance to surrender and save their lives?"

"You! If I surrender, can you stop these strange weapons, and magic?" Trina asked.

"Yes, you stop attacking first, and we will naturally stop. From the beginning, I wanted to avoid conflict, and it was you who made things like this! So, what reason do you have not to believe me?" Xiao Chen said.

Xiao Chen's words naturally carried mental pressure and inducement. Trina didn't know whether she was affected by his mental power or was really willing to surrender. Finally, she said: "Well, I... I agree. But you have to keep your promise."

"Of course!" Xiao Chen answered simply.

The influence from Xiao Chen receded like a tide, and Trina found herself back on the battlefield again. She was still standing in the shield she released. She smelled a pungent smell, and the flames burning on the water were approaching her flagship. Because of her conversation with Xiao Chen just now, she did not control the water flow, and the burning black oil covered the unconscious shark warriors in front of her ship. The burning pain woke them up from their coma and let out a scream.

"Lady Trina, Lady Trina. What's wrong with you?" The Naga guard held her body with two hands, holding up the shield with two hands, and gently patting her face with two hands.

Trina shook her head and said, "We... we must surrender."

"What are you talking about?" The guard exclaimed.

"We have already lost, there is no need to hold on any longer." She pushed the guard's arm and came to the bow, "Let them all stop, as long as we surrender, the people of the Tower of China will stop attacking."

"Are you serious?" Several guards asked.

"Yes, stop!" She shouted loudly to the people around her: "I order you to stop, give up the attack, everyone wait in place, defend on the spot! Do you hear me?"

However, the sea tribe warriors have fallen into chaos. Except for the sea tribe on her own ship, almost no one can obey her command to stop fighting.

"Lady Trina, now it is completely out of control."

Trina took out the echo conch, put it to her lips again, and began to sing. The tune of the ballad this time was different from the previous one. Although it also had a sense of peace and tranquility, it was softer. The sound waves spread along the echoing conch and soon covered the battlefield.

The sea warriors who were fighting and struggling heard the song and unconsciously slowed down their movements. The wizard stopped attacking, the warriors stopped shooting arrows, and even those who were swimming hard towards the two large ships of the Tower of China in the sea slowed down their movements.

"What's going on? Are they going to attack with sound waves again?" Huang Zheng's first reaction to the song was to release a soundproof barrier.

Xiao Chen held his hand and said, "Wait a minute, haven't you noticed that the singing makes you feel different?"

"This singing does not make people feel asleep." Luo Ling said on the side, "It can calm the nervous mood."

"They are surrendering. This is just their way of calming down the soldiers," Xiao Chen said. Sure enough, there were arrows and hail hitting the Houyi's shield just now. After the song appeared, the attacks immediately became less and less, and soon there was almost no trace.

"To be fair, mermaids can still sing." Huang Zheng said.

"Okay, let's stop attacking." Xiao Chen raised his hand and shot a blue ball of light into the sky. The ball of light exploded like a firework. As this signal was sent, the guns and magic of Houyi and Xingtian stopped.

The electric ball in the sea was not replenished and began to slowly dissipate, but the flames on the black oil were not so easy to extinguish. Especially the fires that had been attached to the Hai Clan warships were still burning and making those ships crackle.

What still cannot be dissipated are the screams of the wounded soldiers of the Sea Tribe and the wails of the dying soldiers. When other sounds faded, these became the only sounds on the battlefield.

"It's really...disgusting." Umedada said with a pale face.

Huang Zheng touched her head and said, "This is war. The most touching scenes are always at the end of everything, because only then will the human heart beat again."
