Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Flooding of Heavenfire City

"Stop~~~~~~~~~~" shouted Shui Wuheng.

"Dong~~~~~~~~~~" The drummers struck the final earth-shaking drumbeat.

"City Lord of Heavenfire City~~~~~~~~~~~~~" Zhongshan shouted with a smile.

"Zhongshan, why have you chosen my Heavenfire City?" the City Lord of Heavenfire City shouted.

"The Emperor has decreed that any lower empire challenging the Great Yu Dynasty shall face the ultimate wrath. The imperial troops are ordered to march south. Surrendering cities will be forgiven, and their officials promoted without demotion. Those who resist will be punished for major rebellion. City Lord of Heavenfire, open the city gates promptly. Surrendering now will be forgiven," Zhongshan declared loudly.

"Hahaha, forgiven for past actions? What crime have I committed? Instead, Zhongshan, you invade the territory of the Great Yu Empire and attack my Heavenfire City. From today onward, I and the people of Heavenfire City will fight for our lives," the City Lord of Heavenfire City declared with righteousness.

"Ridiculous! Heavenfire City will soon be under the control of the Great Luo Dynasty. The people of Heavenfire City will become citizens of the Great Luo Dynasty. We will not harm our own citizens. There\'s no question of fighting for survival," Zhongshan retorted sharply.

"Young brat, Heavenfire City is a fortress! Just five hundred thousand troops think they can breach it? You\'re daydreaming!" the City Lord of Heavenfire City was incensed by Zhongshan\'s words.

"Generals on the city tower, listen up! Now is your chance to make a name for yourselves. Capture the City Lord of Heavenfire City and receive one million spirit stones as reward, along with a three-rank promotion. Whoever opens the city gates will be rewarded with one million spirit stones and a three-rank promotion," Zhongshan proclaimed loudly.

Watching Zhongshan from afar, the City Lord of Heavenfire City was both angry and frustrated. Zhongshan\'s cunning was impressive; failing to buy him over, he resorted to trying to win over his own surrounding officers?

However, the officers were all elite troops, and only a few were slightly swayed, maintaining a stern demeanor.

"Hahaha, Zhongshan, is this the best scheme you can come up with?" the City Lord of Heavenfire City laughed heartily.

Yet, Zhongshan remained unfazed. Everything was going according to plan. He smiled faintly as he looked towards Heavenfire City in the distance.

"Generals, listen up! What I just said remains valid until Heavenfire City falls!" Zhongshan shouted again.

"Fall? You think you can make me fall?" The City Lord of Heavenfire City sneered. Zhongshan was too arrogant.

"Beat the war drums!" Zhongshan waved his hand.

"Dong~~~~~ Dong Dong~~~~~ Dong~~~~~" The war drums thundered again, shaking the heavens.

"City Lord, are they really going to attack the city?" a general furrowed his brows and asked.

The City Lord also frowned deeply at this moment, unable to see through the situation. He couldn\'t figure it out, really couldn\'t!

"Stay vigilant!" the City Lord said with a frown.

"Yes!" the generals responded.

"Zhongshan, is this how you plan to attack the city?" Nie Youyou muttered beside him strangely. "Just by beating drums?"

Zhongshan looked up at the sky and said, "It\'s going to rain."

"Rain?" Nie Youyou raised her head in surprise. Rain? There wasn\'t a cloud in sight. How could it rain?

"Rumble~~~~~ Rumble Rumble~~~~~ Rumble~~~~~" Suddenly, a tremendous roar of rushing water came from behind everyone. The soldiers turned their heads to look, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

A tsunami? A towering tsunami?

How could there be a tsunami here? Those enormous waves, how could they be so high?

"Mountains and rivers, infinite distant mountains and rivers, how could there be a tsunami? Are we seeing things?" The soldiers rubbed their eyes in disbelief, yet indeed, it was a massive tsunami. A real one.

"Has the continent sunk? Where is all this seawater coming from?" Wave upon wave surged higher and higher from the distant horizon towards Zhongshan\'s direction, increasing in speed and volume.

"Ao~~~~~~~~~~"

Above the foremost wave, a gigantic golden dragon head suddenly rose up, emitting a mighty roar that conveyed the dragon\'s excitement. Standing on the dragon head was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, barefoot and gripping the dragon\'s horns with an expression of exhilaration.

"Ao~~~~~~~~~~"

"Ao~~~~~~~~~~"

"Ao~~~~~~~~~~"

... Countless dragon roars echoed through the vast waves, resounding ear-piercingly and profoundly shocking everyone.

"Dragons? A horde of roaring dragons causing a flood?" On the eastern city tower,

"What is that?" the City Lord of Heavenfire City suddenly exclaimed.

"Water, lots of water, and dragons, City Lord, there are dragons too," a general explained.

"Quick, from the other city gates, bring half of the troops over. We must be fast," the City Lord of Heavenfire City ordered urgently.

"Yes!" The general swiftly turned and departed.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~"

The waves arrived too quickly. Massive waves instantly submerged the area around Zhongshan\'s feet. Below the mountain peaks, torrents of water surged. Countless dragons stirred up waves and surged ferociously towards Heavenfire City, their momentum overwhelming.

The enormous tsunami was unstoppable, submerging and washing away everything in its path. This was the power of the dragons.

As long as there was water, they could wreak havoc.

Especially by the seaside?

Among the Twelve Cities by the Sea, if it were elsewhere, Zhongshan wouldn\'t have been so confident. But here by the East Sea, wouldn\'t there be as much water as needed?

The dragons danced wildly, their furious waves reaching towards the sky.

For the first city, Zhongshan didn\'t want to expend too much effort. What Zhongshan sought was speed, strength, momentum, and intimidation.

Zhongshan intended to use this first city to intimidate the remaining eleven cities, to let them know that what they called impregnable defenses were merely vulnerabilities waiting to be exploited. Once these vulnerabilities were found, the Twelve Cities by the Sea would be defenseless, and everything would vanish with a wave of his hand.

Heavenfire? Today, I will flood Heavenfire City with water!

The dragons danced wildly, their bodies stirring up the sea waters, swiftly rushing towards the city.

"How could this be happening? Why are there so many dragons?" The City Lord of Heavenfire City showed a terrified expression.

The previous calmness had long vanished.

Dragons? What dragons? Long? Sea serpents? Why are there so many? Could it be that the Dragon Palace has colluded with the Great Luo Dynasty?

"City Lord, what should we do?" a concerned general asked.

"No worries. Heavenfire City is a fortress, just a few more dragons. We can still hold them off," the City Lord pretended to remain calm.

"But what about all this water?" the general worriedly inquired.

"Heavenfire City stands 1,200 meters high. This amount of water will at most inconvenience us for a few days. By then, our reinforcements will have arrived," the City Lord reassured immediately.

"Yes!" The generals responded promptly.

In the distance, atop the mountain where Zhongshan stood,

Hao Meili looked at Zhongshan with a very unfriendly expression. Others had already been informed not to speak to the young girl who had arrived later.

"Zhongshan, what else do you intend to do?" Hao Meili asked, clearly displeased.

"Firstly, I must thank the lovely Miss Hao Meili. Secondly, this seawater brought forth by the dragons, it is still connected to the East Sea, isn\'t it?" Zhongshan replied with a smirk.

"Yes! Why have I cursed you for three months, and yet nothing has happened to you?" Hao Meili said, clearly annoyed.

Cursed for three months? Zhongshan broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, thankful that he had never harbored any ill intentions towards her; otherwise, he would have been doomed.

"Well, I\'ve been immune since childhood due to being cursed so much," Zhongshan replied nonchalantly.

Everyone was at a loss for words.

"Master, he bullied me. Can you poison him to death for me?" Hao Meili immediately turned to Poison King Xi.

Poison King Xi was speechless, as were the others, and Zhongshan himself.

"Poisoning me would prevent you from obtaining the treasures. For now, let\'s focus on attacking the city. Let the dragons raise the water level around that city and flood Heavenfire City," Zhongshan quickly changed the subject.

"Hmph!" Hao Meili looked furious.

"Little Jin, let them flood, flood that city," Hao Meili called out to the golden dragon not far away.

"Ao~~~~~~~~~~"

The golden dragon roared loudly.

"Ao~~~~~~~~~~"

"Ao~~~~~~~~~~"

... The dragons echoed in chorus.

Finally, the great waves crashed upon the base of Heavenfire City.

With the combined efforts of the dragons, waves surged up along the walls. Wave after wave of tsunami water rose rapidly, surrounding the eastern gate in all directions within moments, and rapidly rising.

"Fire! Fire! Fire~~~~~~~~~~" The City Lord of Heavenfire City shouted.

Arrows of piercing qi shot towards the dragons, but those dragons under the city were the fiercest, evading the arrows. Their dragon scales were impenetrable, and in the water, the force of the arrows weakened, causing them to deflect easily.

The dragons remained fearless against the piercing qi attacks.

In the water, it was the domain of dragons. They surged and churned, the waves towering towards the sky.

Some of the strongest dragons even lifted vast amounts of seawater, rushing towards the heavens, forming a continuous, dark mass of clouds that stretched from the sea below to the sky above, extending towards the Unparalleled City.

An oblique dark cloud.

The dense cloud roiled, and the fierce wind raged.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~"

After a super thunderous roar, the rain came. Under the dance of powerful dragons, the seawater transformed into pouring rain, cascading down wildly. The powerful dragons dared not enter the city due to the barrier above, but the downpour easily passed through the barrier.

The seawater continued to rise at the eastern gate, while inside the city, a torrential downpour had begun.

To the west of the city, the sun still shone brightly, while to the east, dark clouds covered the sky and water flowed downwards. The most crucial point was that Zhongshan had chosen Heavenfire City, which had a terrain sloping from east to west. Once the endless seawater submerged the east, it would inevitably rush even more forcefully towards the west.

Water, massive amounts of water, continuously and orderly drawn by the dragons from the East Sea.
