Chapter 480: 254: Early Lotus Tri-life Carp!_2
At this moment, a burly man clad in black and golden armor appeared next to Shui Miao.
He saluted Shui Miao with his fists, expressing gratitude for him lending a helping hand to the Bursting Water Toad Squadron.
Seeing this warrior clad in black and golden armor, Shui Miao received a mental jolt.
The chief military commander of Lu City actually came to the front lines personally, protecting the Bursting Water Toad Squad!
This demonstrates the attention Lu City placed on the Bursting Water Toad Squad.
It seemed that besides these Bursting Water Toads, Lu City had no widespread flood control measures left.
Shui Miao didn’t take credit, but directly addressed the commander.
“I am just fulfilling my duty entrusted by others. If you want to express gratitude, thank Mr. Jianmu!”
“The Sea Clan is willing to inject toxins into the sea, affecting their own living environment to launch this attack.”
“The cause for this must not be simple!”
“Also considering it coincides with the Wan Fish Festival, many external forces are preparing to buy resources at the festival.”
“If the Sea Clan was simply out to destroy Lu City, they would have picked a time when Lu City’s forces were weak. They wouldn’t have chosen now.”
“So, I suspect that someone or some internal force in Lu City tripped up the Sea Clan’s taboo, forcing the Sea Clan to act!”
“The specific circumstances must be clarified, otherwise Lu City will always be left to fend for itself!”
After Shui Miao finished speaking, he chose not to linger. Keeping the Early Lotus Tri-life Carp here would mean the safety of the Bursting Water Toad Squad.
Shui Miao prepared to contact the Jingtao Pavilion, his affiliated force located in the Dragon Soaring Federation’s Lu City.
To see whether Pavilion Master Qin Ming had any useful information!
Fang Mu was still in Si Ning Mansion at this time.
As the core area of Lu City, Si Ning Mansion was located in the city’s highest position.
This place was the safest.
The several forces who had come to attend the trade conference had all left.
They returned to their family homes.
Whether it was for the cause in their hearts or the reward proposed by Fang Mu, these people had begun to organize defenses for Lu City.
Because Fang Mu had stated that Li Yuanchao, the deputy commander of the Sea Defense Corps, would tally contributions, everything that was done had to be seen by Li Yuanchao.
Otherwise, no matter how much was done, it would be no different from doing nothing.
Li Yuanchao was astonished when the various forces voluntarily sought him out, hoping he could assign them tasks.
This made him respect and appreciate Fang Mu even more.
Defending Lu City was the duty of the Sea Defense Corps.
Although the incident was sudden, the Sea Defense Corps could still bear the responsibility of protecting Lu City.
However, facing a disaster aimed at all of Lu City, it was really difficult to assign additional manpower for relief.
Relief, however, was a demanding task.
It was most suitable for the various forces to undertake it.
According to the number of people they saved, merits could be calculated, and basic fairness was guaranteed.
The various forces were mobilized by Li Yuanchao, and Lu City’s residents were being rescued from danger every moment.
Lu Zhong, a Master Creator, did not choose to participate in the fight, but stayed close to Fang Mu.
Alongside She Wan, they assumed the task of guarding.
In the crisis at hand, everyone’s attention was attracted by the Sea Clan’s catastrophe targeting Lu City.
It would be easy for someone to secretly commit a shady act.
Fang Mu was too high-profile and easy to become a person of interest to others.
The Lan Lion Angel stood proudly behind Fang Mu.
Lu Zhong protected Fang Mu while preparing healing potions.
In this disaster, no matter how many healing beast tamers there were, it would never be enough.
All the healing potions in Lu City were severely lacking.
By making healing potions at this time, he could maximize his contribution to Lu City as a Master Creator.
She Wan was continuously contacting She Junjie, and learned some secrets from him.
Throughout Lu City, few things remain unknown to the real controllers of the Lu Du Five Families.
“Young Master, there is some information I need to verify and cannot confirm.”
“But it’s indisputable that the Gao Family and Zhao Family are the only two major forces in Lu City that have good relations with the Sea Clan.”
“The Sea Clan suddenly turned against Lu City. Gao Hongying and Zhao Junwei must have heard something.”
“So I think there must be a problem with the Gao Family and Zhao Family!”
If it were normal times, She Wan definitely wouldn’t mention this matter that has not been confirmed to Fang Mu.
But now it’s a special period, and Fang Mu has stayed in Lu City, ready to help Lu City through the crisis.
Therefore, even the news that was not confirmed, She Wan still felt it necessary to inform Fang Mu.
After She Wan told Fang Mu the information she learned from She Junjie, Fang Mu’s eyes narrowed sharply.
Fang Mu had gotten some information about the situation in Lu City from Li Yuanchao.
In the process of understanding, Li Yuanchao was extremely doubtful of the Sea Clan’s behavior.
The needs of humans and the Sea Clan for sea resources overlapped to some extent, and the development of humans inevitably involved the exploitation of near-sea resources.
A lot of fish in the sea are a source of nutrition for humans. For this reason, nearly all coastal federations have had conflicts with the Sea Clan.
The Dragon Soaring Federation was no exception.
This was also why a fishing ban was set.
Previous conflicts, even small-scale battles, saw the Sea Clan actively send attendants to communicate with the Dragon Soaring Federation’s official channels. They were keen to resolve issues.
