Just as Ouyang Shuo was spending money like water, the voyage squadron led by Zheng He was facing some problems.
7th month, 26th day, Gibraltar Straits.
Malaga City, the Spanish territory closest to the port, had rushed over in just a night. However, the huge squadron did not find anything at the port.
When they found the empty port, the soldiers looked at one another.
”Cowards!”
The speaker was a fellow with a black beard known as Juan. He was one of the strongest Lords in the south of Spain. Juan had led his troops over because he wanted to snatch the glory of being the first to start the fight.
However, he had not expected for such a situation to occur.
”Are they toying with us? They started a country war then ran away? Shameless!”
”Sire, what should we do now?” His subordinate Dafu carefully asked.
Juan looked at the empty port and a cunning look shone in his eyes, ”The enemy ran away, so this glory is ours for sure. Rush into the port; let's occupy Gibraltar Port.”
”Understood!” Dafu laughed.
Just like that, Juan 'went through so much trouble', 'courageously fought', and finally destroyed the Shanhai City Squadron, recovering Gibraltar Port. When the news spread to the forums, the country was naturally delighted.
”The world's best Lord? Haha, what a joke!”
”The Invincible Squadron is invincible!”
On the forums, some people were mocking Shanhai City, and some were blindly worshipping the Spanish Invincible Squadron. Some people even spread the news to China, raising the attention of the other country's players.
”Shanhai City occupied Gibraltar Port? Surely not!” Greece, Italy, and other countries that had traded with the voyage squadron did not believe this news.
”Haha, those stupid easterners have lost so much face!”
”Arrogant Spanish!” However, some were displeased by the Spanish.
The Spanish Squadron regarded itself as the owner of the Mediterranean, so how would the other countries feel happy about this matter?
”Looking at all the battle records of Shanhai City, there is none where they surrendered easily. They have surely set a trap and are waiting for the Spanish people to fall in. Then they will give the Spanish a slap to their faces.” There were still people who believed in Shanhai City.
”I agree!'
...
The celebrations of the Spanish people were too early and too short lived.
At 9 AM, the voyage squadron struck.
Zheng He made use of guerrilla tactics to strike all around; they would either perform sneak attacks or ambushes, causing a lot of problems for the Spanish Squadron. Ship after ship were sunk by the voyage squadron, infuriating the Spanish.
The Spanish people felt that they had lost face, and their embarrassment turned into anger. Amongst which, the most furious one was naturally Juan, who swore he would crush the voyage squadron.
The Spanish people were not fools. After tasting defeat, they immediately changed tactics and stopped traveling alone. The unified Spanish Squadron patrolled the Gibraltar Straits, continuing to shrink their search area.
With that, the voyage squadron were forced into a tough situation.
Helplessly, Zheng He could only gather the four split up units to avoid the Spanish Squadron from hitting them one by one. In the end, they could only rely on their speed to avoid the enemy.
Atlantis, land of survivors.
The golden light in the cave grew more and more vibrant, and the golden liquid in the pool was about to be filled up.
Just as the pool filled up, the 12 shields protecting the golden magnetic ohlite suddenly spread out, revealing the stone itself. The stone looked like a gigantic golden sun, extremely eye-catching.
When Kalia saw this scene, she stepped up, and the purple crystal around her neck floated up. Then, she clapped her hands together and shut her eyes tightly as she communicated with the golden stone.
”Don't tell me that this stone is actually sentient?” Ouyang Shuo was astonished.
After a short while, the light burst apart, filling the entire cave with warmth and a blinding golden light, seemingly possessing a sort of mysterious energy that one could not help but worship.
Even Kalia knelt to the ground.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes focused as he rotated the Yellow Emperor Cultivation Technique to resist this pressure. He was a Lord, a king, so how would he yield to a rock?
The golden light probably felt the resistance from Ouyang Shuo as it covered him with a stronger pressure, wanting to make him yield.
Ouyang Shuo could only feel a massive strength bearing down on him from all sides. The pressure on his head was especially strong, becoming stronger like a mountain pressing down on him.
Beads of sweat seeped out from his forehead.
Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth, trying his best to use his mental strength to resist. However, he felt helpless; the harder he tried, the stronger the golden light grew, increasing the pressure and causing his bones to crackle.
”Ah!”
Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth, unable to hold on any longer as he sat on the ground. The primordial energy in his body rotated crazily, breaking the limit of his daily cultivation.
The insides of his meridians were similarly shining golden.
Before this, on the unknown island, the washing of the spirit energy from the dragon vein had strengthened his meridians. Under such pressure, they gave out an incredible toughness and vitality.
Limitless potential was transforming into actual strength.
Under such pressure, the golden primordial energy in his body grew denser and denser, thicker and thicker. The cultivation speed of the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique was increasing at a discernible rate.
However, in Ouyang Shuo's heart, there wasn't any joy.
The pressure from the golden light continued to increase. All his bones emitted cracking sounds like the sound of frying beans, a scary sight.
If this continued, Ouyang Shuo was definitely going to be crushed into a pile of meat paste.
”Yield! Yield to me!”
Maybe it was an illusion, but such words floated into his ear.
”Never!”
Ouyang Shuo's eyes were blood red and his face looked savage, ”The dignity of a king won't be stepped on!”
After activating the golden primordial energy, the devil bloodline in his body was also activated. A black aura rose up from Ouyang Shuo's body to fight against the other aura.
The black bloodline and the golden primordial energy mixed together in his body, shining brightly.
This was the first time Ouyang Shuo had used these two totally different powers at the same time. This was also the first time they had fought together against a common enemy.
Black and gold, incredibly harmonious.
