Chapter 199 Shanghai Sea Disaster, Unyielding Dark Clouds

The thick, dark clouds lingered, resembling an inverted sea of ​​ink clouds hanging in the sky, weighing heavily on the hearts of the people of Shanghai.

The streets were filled with bicycles and cars that had been swept in by the sea, completely blocking every intersection.

On the overpass, the endless stream of cars was already submerged in the seawater, and many people could be seen climbing onto the roofs of their cars, trying to seek some help from the gray sky in the raging wind and rain.

The entire city has been brought to a standstill, with the transportation system paralyzed and communications disrupted.

Even the power system has started to malfunction intermittently.

Most of the judges of the Shanghai Tribunal gathered in the coastal area of ​​Shanghai to stop the sea monsters that were stirring as the sea level rose.

The Magic Association issued an emergency call to action, uniting hunters to rescue those trapped throughout the Magic City.

Less than three hours had passed since the tsunami struck.

The greatest danger to Shanghai right now is not the invasion of sirens, but the people of Shanghai who are trapped by the ever-rising sea.

In the ensuing chaos, order was disrupted, which led the Shanghai authorities to allocate most of their resources to the rescue efforts, and even a large number of students from Mingzhu Academy were drawn away.

The change in terrain and the intrusion of some small sea monsters have greatly increased the difficulty of the rescue.

Not to mention that the torrential rains and tsunami show no signs of abating, and the crisis is only going to get worse.

"Your Honor! A commander-level sea monster has appeared on the coastal defense line! The breach has been exposed, and many servant-level sea monsters have taken the opportunity to enter the city!"

"We've located the Ocean God Clan priest, thirty nautical miles from Shanghai. It's too far, and we don't have enough manpower!"

"report!"

Feng Li sat in the command position, listening to the constant stream of reports, feeling like his head was about to explode.

After the Daiguofu team won the championship, Feng Li was transferred to the Shanghai Tribunal to serve as the presiding judge.

In a year or two, we'll transfer Feng Li to the capital.

Feng Li originally thought that the first year or two in Shanghai would be smooth sailing, and he would live comfortably for the rest of the year.

Unexpectedly, just six months after taking office, Shanghai has encountered such a huge disaster.

"Send ten more squads from the Magic Association and the Hunter Association to reinforce the defenses! Don't pay any attention to their talk of rescue! What's the point of talking about rescue when the magic is gone!"

"Vice Judge Shen! You and Vice Judge Leng will lead the team to deal with the Ocean God Clan priests! At the very least, defeat them, and the tsunami will most likely stop!"

"The Shanghai Tribunal is now in a special operations phase! Resource mobilization below the Super Rank no longer requires approval! Stabilize the Siren defense line as quickly as possible!"

Feng Li issued orders quickly and methodically, and the entire trial proceeded at lightning speed.

Suddenly he called out to Leng Qing, who had recently advanced to the Super Rank.

"Deputy Judge Leng, is there still no news about Lin Ling?"

Yes, I'm still in contact, but...

Leng Qing looked troubled; she hadn't expected Lin Ling to suddenly disappear for almost half a year.

I can't get in touch with them no matter what method I use.

"Keep in touch with him. Hopefully he can come and provide support. With him, a large part of our high-end combat capability gap will be filled."

"I will report any news as soon as possible."

"Well, be careful, Vice Judge Leng. To be honest, it goes against my principles to put you in charge of such a dangerous mission, but these are special times, and we should make the most of those who are capable. But I still hope you will be careful."

As he spoke, Feng Li couldn't help but glance at Leng Qing's slightly protruding belly. Even if Leng Qing said she wanted to step down to the second line and take charge of rescue missions, Feng Li would allow it, but Leng Qing did not do so, and instead took the initiative to go to the defense line.

The siren's power far surpasses that of land demons; this time, the odds are against them.
"Your Honor, please rest assured, my husband has given me some items for self-defense."

Leng Qing subconsciously touched her slightly protruding belly, and then led the two teams of judges to the Siren Defense Line.

After watching Leng Qing disappear, Feng Li picked up the report about the sea depth that had just been handed to him.

The depth in the coastal areas has reached about 30 meters, and the depth in the inland areas is about 15 meters.

Servant-class and warrior-class sirens can already move freely, but this is where the water is.

The probability of encountering a ruler-level sea monster in nearshore areas will also increase significantly.

If the depth reaches fifty meters, then the Siren Lord will likely have to enter.

Most of the planet Earth is covered by blue oceans, yet human exploration of the oceans is far less extensive than that of the land.

The immense pressure of deep water, the inability to breathe freely, and the lack of light all contribute to the difficulty of ocean exploration. Often, only a team led by a highly skilled water mage can successfully conduct such an expedition.

In addition to the existence of sea monsters, ocean exploration teams from various countries lose a large number of mages every year.

The natural disaster that Shanghai is facing now is clearly the work of the Ocean Gods.

Although no Emperor-level beings have appeared on the surface yet, these ocean emperors are definitely keeping an eye on humanity's high-end combat capabilities from behind the scenes.

Recklessly sending out top-tier fighters and forbidden spellcasters will only result in the elimination of high-end combatants.

How long will it take for support from other cities to arrive?

"Coastal cities near Shanghai are also affected by the sea monster invasion and are unable to spare manpower. Currently, inland areas are still coordinating manpower, and it may take at least two days for support to arrive."

"Two days later will be too late."

The sirens are coming with overwhelming force; two days from now, it's questionable whether Shanghai will even still exist.

Feng Li suddenly felt something was strange, as if the entire coastal area of ​​the Dragon Kingdom had been invaded by sea monsters to varying degrees.

This doesn't seem like the work of a siren; it's more likely that a cunning human was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

A prolonged battle line would lead to dispersed inland support, and Shanghai, as the most powerful coastal city, would inevitably receive the latest support.

In recent years, the Demon Kingdom has been making constant moves and drawing troops from all over the place. Even a superpower like the Dragon Kingdom would find it difficult to turn things around in a short time, let alone in this long-term predicament.

They wished they could split a mage into three and use them all, and mobilizing support for the entire coastal city would be impossible in a short time.

"A storm is brewing. Can Shanghai weather this storm?"

The Siren Defense Line along the coast of Shanghai.

Countless magical lights shone brightly, reflecting the dark clouds and turning the sea surface pitch black. However, the blood of the sirens splattered together, turning it into a giant dye vat. Countless severed limbs, mixed with those of sirens and humans, floated randomly on the sea surface.

A steady stream of sirens of all shapes and sizes emerged from the sea, fearlessly charging into the magical bombardment, using their lives to carve out several breaches in the defensive line.

When Leng Qing led his team to the scene, the battle lines were already on the verge of collapse.

"Judge! Join the defense and stabilize it first! Three people per group! Eliminate the sirens!"

　What follows should be a series of major battles.
