Underground prison.
This is a filthy water dungeon; the dark, damp environment reeks of decay and is nauseating.
The walls were covered with moss and mold, making them look old and disgusting.
Inside the cell, the murky water was almost level with the ground, and various unidentified objects floated on its surface.
Rotten food scraps, animal carcasses, and even human hair and clothing fragments.
These debris drifted slowly in the water, intertwining with the dim, mottled lights to create an eerie and terrifying scene.
Faint groans could be heard.
Ibrahim hated those bastards who almost took his life.
Under his deliberate instructions, these prisoners not only endured physical torture but also mental despair!
"Squeak~~~~~~~"
The water prison door opened, and with a crackling sound, a long corridor of ice formed on the water's surface as several people walked in.
"Sir, we're willing to talk, we're willing to tell you anything!" The prisoners cried, their snot and tears mingling together.
"Search," Xu Fang said.
The mind-based mage stepped forward and, amidst their wails, completed the soul search, retrieving all their memories.
The result was still disappointing; these guys only had food, drink, and pornographic material on their minds and couldn't extract anything useful.
"What do we do now?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.
Xu Fang said in a deep voice, "Contact the Cape of Good Hope Magic Association and have the transport ship they promised arrive as soon as possible so we can leave immediately!"
This city has an eerie atmosphere, yet the reason for it remains elusive.
“I’ll contact them right away!” Nan Jue said, immediately dialing the number and exchanging a few words in International English.
"There are no transport ships available nearby to borrow, so we can only send them from the Cape of Good Hope."
The Cape of Good Hope is located at the southwestern tip of Africa, while their location is adjacent to the Red Sea, tens of thousands of kilometers apart.
“They encountered a storm and may arrive later than expected,” Nan Jue said.
Unlike the chaos caused by demons, storms are natural disasters that people can only passively endure, with few effective ways to deal with them.
"We can't delay, lest something else goes wrong," Xu Fang said. "Have them send their location, I'll go pick them up. You all stay here and keep an eye on the workers."
······
As dawn broke, a silver shadow streaked across the sky and sped southward; it was Xu Fang, who had the feathers of the heavens growing on his back.
This was the first time he had flown such a long distance at full speed since he obtained the winged magical artifact in Venice.
From above, the scenery below recedes rapidly, almost as if it's been pixelated.
A few hours later, the once bright sky began to darken.
The entire sky was shrouded in thick, dark clouds, gloomy and overcast, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
At the eye of the storm was a massive, swirling cloud, like a giant vortex, constantly devouring the surrounding air and energy.
Inside the cloud, lightning flashed frequently, tearing through the darkness and illuminating the surrounding scenery in a violent yet spectacular display.
"Huff~~~~~Huff~~~~~~~"
When you get close, you can feel the damp, heavy atmosphere in the air, which makes you feel somewhat suffocated.
This is a true natural disaster; even a super-level mage probably couldn't create such power!
El Niño!
Silver shadows crisscrossed around Xu Fang, and her petite body landed on his shoulder.
"Eeee-yah-yah!" El Niño called out cheerfully, its big eyes gazing at the massive storm clouds with a hint of familiarity and excitement!
"Entropy Increase Domain!"
El Niño waved his hands, and the wind, thunder, and water elements that had formed in the air instantly became chaotic, and its destructive aura collapsed in large swathes.
"Warm air zone!"
El Niño puffed out its cheeks, forcefully blowing out warm currents, weakening and calming the storm's power.
The clouds in the sky visibly thinned, and the raging wind gradually became docile, obeying the commands of El Niño, nature's darling.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the clouds, casting dappled patterns on the sea, and a ship gradually emerged from the mist.
Several figures leaped from the ship, flapped their wind wings, and arrived beside Xu Fang, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at him.
"Heavenly Father, my friend, how did you do it?"
"Look at our hero, he's so young!"
"We are from the Cape of Good Hope Magic Association. Thank you for your help!"
Xu Fang gave a military salute: "Xu Fang of the China Military Intelligence Bureau has come here specifically to meet you."
"Are all the military intelligence agencies in your country this corrupt?" a monk couldn't help but ask.
A person who can easily extinguish a world-destroying storm would at least be a military commander in their country, and it wouldn't be impossible for them to be the head of the military in some small countries!
"Enough with the small talk, we have a mission to complete, let's set off immediately," Xu Fang said in a deep voice.
"Alright, activate the magic circle and let's go!"
Chapter 430 You have no obligation to face an enemy you can't possibly defeat!
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
On the high seas, a convoy of transport ships was cutting through the waves and moving rapidly forward. Xu Fang stood on the deck, gazing into the distance from time to time.
"Commander Xu, we're already moving at full speed, there's no use in you being anxious."
Matteo said he was tasked with leading the fleet northwards to meet the Chinese workers.
His long years of working at sea had made his skin dark and rough; he looked more like an old fisherman than a high-level mage.
Xu Fang looked ahead, knowing that being anxious was useless.
Previously, Azure Feather led him across most of Africa, which was already at full capacity, and he is now being nurtured in the Spiritual Imprint.
In other words, Xu Fang could only travel back to Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue's location by transport ship.
"How much longer do we have to walk?" Xu Fang asked.
“It was hard to say before, but if you were here, all day long,” Matteo said.
In the past, sailing required taking the weather into account, as the African coastline was far from peaceful, with strong winds and torrential rains being common occurrences.
Xu Fangfang is different; even the terrifying storm clouds from last time were weakened and resolved!
It'll take a whole day...
Xu Fang looked at the phone in his hand. Communication with Ai Jiangtu had been cut off several hours ago, and the specific reason was unknown.
at the same time.
It was still the same city protected by high walls, but now its perimeter was covered by a golden energy barrier.
Amidst the dense, dark clouds, it resembled a small boat tossing and turning.
"Crack!!!!!"
The lightning struck the energy barrier with deafening force.
Under the bombardment of thunder, the energy barrier instantly became dazzling, as if it were about to burst into flames.
Each "burning" consumes a large amount of mineral resources!
"How much longer can we hold out?" Ai Jiangtu shouted.
"At most ten hours! After ten hours, the city's ore reserves will not be enough to activate the protective array!" Nan Jue said.
Not far away, Zhang Xiaohou lay on the ground unconscious, and the healing mage hurriedly began to treat him.
Ai Jiangtu looked grim. With Xu Fang absent, he, as the vice-captain, took over as commander.
But the current situation is far worse and more difficult than he expected.
At this moment, the attacker outside the city is a super-level mage, unlike Hakend who is a basic super-level mage, whose combat power is extremely terrifying!
Zhang Xiaohou, who was about to fight, was seriously injured and on the verge of death before he could even last ten rounds. Fortunately, Ai Jiangtu teleported to his rescue in time and saved his life.
"Sahel is here! We have to run! There's a secret passage beneath the city lord's mansion!"
Ibrahim's voice trembled: "We can't beat him. He's a god. No one in this country can defeat him!"
Ai Jiangtu immediately asked, "A secret passage? Can it be used to evacuate everyone?"
“How is that possible? This kind of secret passage only allows one person to pass through at a time!” Ibrahim exclaimed.
Why are all Chinese people the same now? Can't they just run away on their own? Why do they have to drag thousands of burdens along with them?
"I'm not leaving. Without me, the protective formation will only last a shorter time," Nan Jue said calmly.
Sahel's curse magic was also very strong, but fortunately, the city happened to have light-type ores stored in it, which temporarily stopped the executioner demon.
Nan Jue's job is to rob Peter to pay Paul, protecting the longest possible time with the least cost, until his mental strength collapses.
"I'm not leaving either. I'm here to evacuate my compatriots. What kind of person would I be if I abandoned them and ran away?"
"I'm not leaving either! There isn't a single coward in the Western Theater Command!"
"As long as we hold out until Xu Juntong returns, he will definitely find a way!"
Military mages have their own pride; they can retreat or even run away, and they can endure humiliation for survival.
But as long as the people stand behind me, if you want to hurt them, then have the guts to step over my dead body!
"Gao Xin, take Zhang Xiaohou and retreat first. Once you're out, immediately re-establish communication with Commander Xu, understand?" Ai Jiangtu said calmly.
Gao Xin, the one with the healing aura, shouted, "Understood!"
"The rest of you, take the energy recovery potions, take turns resting, and be ready for battle at any time!"
"understand!"
