Chapter 1703: Chapter 53: For Noble Peace

The firepower of the magic energy cannons was now madly sweeping over the body of the giant squid monster—yet this weapon, capable of penetrating the Giant Shark Sea Demon, could only slightly burn the monster’s surface when it hit the squid beast.

But the thickness of the squid monster’s skin made one despair.

When the squid monster swung its tentacle, one of the Underwater City warriors was directly swept into the giant beast’s mouth, and was then crushed by its grinder-like jaws, blood plasma and flesh splattering.

“We can’t hold on… Lord Kaya, you must leave quickly, we’ll cover you!”

No one knew what these battles were for… The bloody fight scenes moved Professor Jin Kailun.

Lady Kaia quickly responded and shouted loudly: “Sea monsters, if you want to survive, don’t just hide on the sidelines and watch! Unless you’re confident that after we’re all dead, you still have the ability to escape this monster’s attack.”

The Bashacrown Prince was hiding behind a Giant Shark Sea Demon, acting like he didn’t hear—he even let nightmares guard him from inside and out in three layers, then slowly moved aside.

His fear of death made even the stance-holding Professor Jin Kailun utterly amazed, really thinking him a talent.

Lady Kaya was slightly angry but suppressed it quickly and asked, “How far are we from the exploration ship?”

“Not far, it’s just ahead.” a warrior turned back, “But we need firepower to repel this giant beast, otherwise we can’t outrun it! Please decide quickly, Lord Kaya!”

“Abandoning companions on the battlefield to escape would be a lifelong shame for me.” At this time, Lady Kaya took a deep breath and seized the weapon from the warrior’s hand, “I will distract this giant beast, you quickly board the ship… This is an order!”

“My lord!” the warriors exclaimed simultaneously.

Lady Kaya at this moment was already holding dual guns. She jumped out with a kick, and immediately shot at the eyelid of the squid monster, instantly attracting the squid giant’s wrath.

Upon seeing this scene, Professor Jin Kailun’s heart sank… The fear was that Kaya had been brainwashed by the Kingdom Government to this level.

“Professor, come with us!”

At this time, two warriors directly held up the professor with faces of grief and indignation—just as they were about to escape, they saw ahead, the Bashacrown Prince of the Sea Demon Clan quickly returned under the protection of a group of sea monsters.

Everyone was shocked, thinking, could it be that this shameless group of sea monsters had a conscience?

“Run!! There’s another one!!”

—from Bashacrown Prince’s shrill voice!

“Again you! You bringer of calamity, how many giant monsters do you have to provoke before you’re satisfied!” The leader among the warriors angrily cursed at this sea monster Prince, “Single-celled beast, why didn’t your father wipe you on the toilet!”

“Because he doesn’t mess around in the toilet at all!” Bashacrown Prince replied seriously, aggrieved, “Do you think I’m willing to stay with the Sea Demon Clan? Isn’t life sweet in the Undersea City!?”

Now is not the time for arguing.

The warrior leader quickly suppressed his anger, stared ahead and indeed saw another squid giant monster chasing behind the unreliable sea monster Prince.

Could they have fallen into the lair of these giant monsters? What is the Third Legion doing, claiming they already cleared the nearby sea area?

Meanwhile, upon learning about the second squid giant, Lady Kaya was anxious… Given her current situation, she couldn’t draw away two of them simultaneously.

“All listen to the order!” In that moment of gritting her teeth, Lady Kaya issued another command, “Even if there’s only one left, take the thing back and give it to the Emperor!”

While speaking, Lady Kaya directly tossed the metallic box entrusted with her by Bashacrown Prince toward the head warrior, and then once more charged towards that squid giant monster.

On the other side, Bashacrown Prince also issued an order, “Remember, Longgang can be abandoned, your lives can be abandoned, but even if there’s only one left, get me out of here, I don’t want to die in this place!”

Consequently, the Underwater City warriors grew furious, Sea Demon Clan warriors weary, as two squid giant monsters watched keenly, with everyone in peril.

Is escape truly impossible… Professor Jin Kailun frowned, searching for hope… He continuously fidgeted with the cane in his hand, hesitating somewhat.

Yet amid the chaos, perhaps presenting the best opportunity to rescue Longgang—the Kingdom Government had long mastered all his information, merely allowing it.

Understanding this method, Professor Jin Kailun thought clearly—rather than expose his identity, allowing him to move in the shadows, it was better to pretend ignorance, letting him freely bounce in public view, ultimately controlling the dynamics more effectively.

Concerning the Emperor’s methods, Professor Jin Kailun grew increasingly fearful—if he safely returned to the Undersea City this time, he didn’t know what measures Louis XXXIX would use… Maybe he’d face brainwashing like Lady Kaya and completely become the Kingdom Government’s puppet?

“Lord Kaya!”

At that time, a scream interrupted Professor Jin Kailun’s thoughts. He instinctively looked over, only to see Lady Kaya being grabbed directly by a tentacle of the squid giant monster!

Lady Kaya was struggling fiercely at that moment… But the squid monster’s tentacle power was terrifying, instantly crushing the light armor on Lady Kaya!

Just as Lady Kaya was about to perish in the squid monster’s mouth… A bright light suddenly appeared!

Only to see a purple-shelled [Flywheel] flying in, directly crashing against the tentacle holding Lady Kaya!

After that, from the purple [Flywheel], a petite figure suddenly leaped out, simultaneously drawing a light saber about a meter long from each side of the [Flywheel]’s handle.

Backflip, spin, simultaneous dual-saber slash, all in one breath!

The squid monster’s tentacle was instantly severed, freeing Lady Kaya who immediately fell to the ground—and at that moment, the petite figure also landed beside Lady Kaya.

“You are… Lord Liuge?” Lady Kaya quickly got up, both surprised and delighted, “Weren’t you accompanying His Majesty… How did you end up here?”

“I was worried things might not go smoothly here, so I took the time to rush over.” Girl Liuge said calmly, “Didn’t expect it to be true… But it’s not too late, have you gotten the thing?”

Lady Kaya nodded.

“You guys go, I’ll handle this.” Girl Liuge quickly said, “Remember, make sure to get the thing to Louis—at any cost.”

Lady Kaya took a deep breath, saluted briefly and then turned swiftly, rushing into the Underwater City warriors’ ranks, taking the box back from the head warrior and securely holding it.

“Let’s go!” Lady Kaia commanded, swiftly taking a detour to leave.

The Bashacrown Prince noticed and quickly ordered a sea monster to guard him, shamelessly sidling up again—if it weren’t for the consideration that the Emperor needed Longgang to be sent to the Sea Demon Clan’s Royal Court to implement the extermination plan, the Undersea City side would have gladly killed this prince on the spot.

“I owe you a favor!” Bashacrown Prince quickly said as he arrived: “Next time you plan to exchange prisoners of war or something like that, I will definitely sabotage from within, making sure the Royal Court suffers a little loss! Don’t thank me, anyway, our side is especially fertile, Green Algae Grass grows back quickly after being cut!”

“Damn, I heard you’re still a prince? Now I actually hope you succeed in becoming the ruler of the Royal Court!” A warrior sneered at this moment.

Bashacrown Prince shook his head and said, “I wish I could, but unfortunately, I can’t beat those ahead… But my territory does belong entirely to me. Are you interested in taking me in? There are plenty of sea monsters in my territory to act as laborers; just feed them well, and their wages, you only need to pay me half… Also, I want a residence status of the Undersea City and an independent villa! I’m offering my whole family to join you, you can’t demotivate me by being unkind!”

A beam of energy pierced through the layers of the sea monster guards, hitting the foot of the sea monster prince—Lady Kaia’s cold shot.

Bashacrown Prince immediately covered his mouth, hiding behind the Giant Shark Sea Demon, not intending to stick his head out—perhaps because the prince’s behavior was so unconventional, the loyal Giant Shark Sea Demon actually stepped aside, exposing the Bashacrown Prince back in front of Lady Kaia’s gun.

“Don’t waste words with this bunch; Lord Liuge has fought for time that cannot be squandered here!” Lady Kaia snorted coldly, then rushed forward.

But the second giant squid was now pursuing—only the second giant squid didn’t chase far when the girl Liuge threw the Light Saber in her hand, directly piercing into the second giant squid.

The Light Saber didn’t entirely leave her hand; it was connected by a slender cable… At this moment, the girl’s eyes flashed with an alien color, and a current directly transmitted through the cable.

Sparks and electrical arcs immediately erupted on the second giant squid, causing it to scream wildly in pain… Lady Kaia and Bashacrown Prince, meanwhile, took this opportunity to escape from this area successfully.

But the girl now clearly had to endure the wrath of both monsters at the same time.

“How come there are such creatures like you…” Girl Liuge coldly surveyed the two giant monsters, each over a hundred times her size, “Such strong lifeform reactions, why didn’t the Third Legion detect them.”

But the giant squids obviously didn’t give the girl time to find doubts—they inflated their mouths simultaneously, and two columns of acidic slime spewed out!

The acid, sufficient to instantly corrode a rocky hole, poured down like a torrential rain… Girl Liuge snorted coldly, a tiny [M] mark suddenly appeared on her forehead, then she leapt up!

She retracted the Light Saber from the second giant squid, again dual-wielding the Light Saber, slashing towards the first giant squid!

…

The sounds of collisions and screams continuously came from behind… They could only imagine the accumulation of the battle behind, but they did not know Lord Liuge’s current situation.

The Exploration Ship was already in sight, the warriors of the Undersea City couldn’t help but feel invigorated.

Lady Kaia suddenly waved her hand, and all the warriors, understanding the gesture, raised their weapons, blocking Bashacrown Prince and a group of sea monster warriors.

His Royal Highness the Prince couldn’t help but say in surprise, “We just fought side by side to the death… What are you doing now?”

“Don’t worry, we won’t kill you,” Lady Kaia said indifferently. “But from here on, escape on your own, live or die, it depends on your luck. The exchange has already ended, and there is no more connection between us.”

“This is not right!” His Royal Highness the Prince said with a bitter face, “I know, the Undersea City and the Sea Demon Clan have countless accumulated hatred… But can hatred really solve problems? The Sea Demon Clan was once a part of the Undersea City, the mistakes made by the ancestors have already been washed away by the blood and souls of countless fallen soldiers over this long passage of time… Why not set aside our prejudices and strive for great peace and coexistence? I know it’s tough, but every beginning is difficult. As long as we’re willing to take the first step, hope is just ahead… Come on, let us set aside hatred!”

Bang—!

Lady Kaia fired a shot, and Bashacrown Prince jumped away.

Lady Kaia said coldly, “I don’t know if you’re really a fool, or just simple-minded… But I believe the Royal Court wouldn’t really send a good-for-nothing to conduct this exchange. I said, from here on, there’s no relation between us, you can choose not to leave, but we won’t stand idly by—don’t blame the gun and bullets in my hand.”

But just then, a blue light unexpectedly shot out from Lady Kaia’s side, striking a sea monster warrior in the chest.

It penetrated!

Lady Kaia turned sharply, only to see that Professor Jin Kailun had somehow already raised his cane… and heard his loud voice, “Kill all these lowly sea monsters, avenge the innocent citizens and brave warriors of the Undersea City who perished at their hands!!”

Saying so, before Lady Kaia could react, Professor Jin Kailun waved his cane again, and another blue light shot out—only this time, the Sea Demon Clan side was prepared, and only the arm of a sea monster warrior was injured.

“Jin Kailun, you!” Lady Kaia glared angrily.

Professor Jin Kailun seemed oblivious to her, wielding his cane weapon once more!

“Roar—!! I told you, this group of hypocritical Undersea City people are no good! Kill them all!!!”

Seeing several enraged Giant Shark Sea Demons and a bunch of nightmares about to rush forward, Lady Kaia had no time to order Professor Jin Kailun subdued, hastily engaging in battle.

The two sides immediately turned into a brawl.

During the battle, Professor Jin Kailun moved with exceptional agility… He soon, almost unnoticed, came up next to Lady Kaia.

Lady Kaia was taken aback.

“Did you forget? I was your teacher for an entire year… Isn’t your hand-to-hand combat skill taught by me?” Professor Jin Kailun chuckled softly, placing his palm on Lady Kaia’s throat.

Lady Kaia dodged perilously, only to find her hand suddenly empty, the box that needed to be sent back to the Emperor had already been taken by Professor Jin Kailun!

After that, the professor’s speed increased once again, diving into the Sea Demon Clan’s ranks amid the chaos, directly picking up Longgang thrown on the ground.

Then the cane weapon fired a grappling hook, grabbing onto a rock on the front highland, pulling the professor and Longgang over.

“Go back and tell your Emperor.” Professor Jin Kailun said in a loud voice, “Don’t think you can control everyone… [Destiny] still awaits him! We will return!”
