Chapter 151: Sea Soul Beast Attacks the City
Dongyang City is the largest city in the north of the Sun-Moon Empire.
It is located in the northeast of the entire Sun and Moon Continent. Less than a thousand kilometers to the east is the border of the Tianhun Empire, and to the north is the Ice Sea.
Therefore, the city wall here is thirty feet high, and various attack and defense soul guides are arranged on the top of the city. These are not only to guard against the Eastern Sky Soul Empire, but also to guard against the sea soul beasts in the ice sea.
It was almost noon, and the city gate was the busiest time of year. Wang Nan followed the crowd and slowly walked into the city, but his eyes kept looking around at the people in front of him.
Before approaching these people, the Tianye Fushenglong in Wang Nan's sea of consciousness had already become active. There was no doubt that there was an evil soul master among the group of people in front of him.
Although the Sun-Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church have a close relationship, they always have to hide it in front of others. If other people were here, they might not be able to discover the true identity of the group of people in front of them.
Just as Wang Nan approached the city gate, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded on the top of the city wall.
Wang Nan looked up suddenly, only to see that the crowd around him had become chaotic, lights of various colors were lit up on the top of the city, and one soul-guided cannon after another was gradually adjusting its direction, heading towards the ice sea.
"Close the city gates quickly! The sea soul beasts are attacking the city!"
It was not until this time that a voice, accompanied by a wave of soul power, came from far away on the top of the city.
Wang Nan mixed in the crowd and rushed quickly into the city. Soon, the gate of Dongyang City was closed with a loud bang.
Outside the city, the deafening roars of soul beasts were getting closer and closer along with the tide. Inside the city, teams of soldiers were running towards the top of the city.
"Everyone, go inside the city, don't gather at the city gates!"
“I repeat, do not gather at the city gates!”
Many soldiers have come here, and each of them carries one or several soul guides.
The gap between the Sun Moon Empire and the other three empires in soul guides was obvious. Even the soldiers who maintained order here almost all had soul guides, and the armor on the leader seemed to be a soul guide as well.
Although the level of that soul guide was not high, it was far ahead of the other three empires. After all, even the White Tiger Duke of the Xingluo Empire only had a seventh-level soul guide armor.
Wang Nan mingled with the crowd and walked towards the city.
There are many customers in various shops on both sides of the street.
Outside, the sound of sea water hitting the city wall continued to come, and from time to time, the sound of soul guide cannons could be heard, shaking the ground.
But the people in Dongyang City seemed to have gotten used to it. Although they would subconsciously look outside the city when the soul guide cannon sounded, they would quickly retract their gaze and continue with their actions.
Some customers in the shops would even discuss with people around them how long the attack would last while selecting merchandise.
"My dear guest, are you from outside the city?"
A young man came up to Wang Nan, wearing a thick cotton coat and a felt hat.
Because Dongyang City is close to the ice sea, the temperature is not very high all year round, so most ordinary people dress like this.
Although Wang Nan, as a soul master, was not afraid of the cold, he did not want to attract too much attention, so he put on a thick robe.
"How did you know?" Wang Nan did not hide it.
"To be honest, I know you are such a person. I don't know why you are here. Do you need me to show you around?" Wang Nan smiled. There are also capable people among ordinary people, and even more so for those who make a living from this.
"Are you here to do business or to settle down? If you want to settle down, this is not a good place. Not only is it freezing cold, but there are also sea soul beasts that come to harass you every few days."
Seeing that Wang Nan didn't say anything, the man took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Do sea soul beasts often attack cities like this?"
"As you know, guest, there is an ice sea to the north of Dongyang City. There is no place near the ocean that is not harassed by soul beasts."
"It was okay in the past few years, with only one or two soul beasts appearing occasionally. But in recent years, I don't know why, there are more and more soul beasts attacking the city. In the past few days, it has become more frequent, basically every day."
Wang Nan listened to the man's words while looking around. The people who had just entered the city with him had already dispersed, and the evil soul masters he had noticed before had also gone towards the north of the city.
Wang Nan glanced at the man beside him. He was just an ordinary man, without any soul power fluctuations.
After thinking for a while, he took out two silver soul coins and said, "I was just passing by here. I didn't expect to encounter the sea soul beast attacking the city. I happened to be free and had nothing to do. Tell me about Dongyang City."
The man took the silver soul coin and smiled, "Whatever the customer wants to know, I will tell him everything I know."
"Then tell me what's in Dongyang City first. This is my first time here too, so tell me everything."
“Okay.” The man put away the Gintama coin and rubbed his hands. He wanted to put his hands in his pockets but felt it was a bit impolite, so he exhaled and put his hands in front of him.
Wang Nan took a look and walked forward slowly.
The man hurriedly followed, "You just entered from the west gate. This is the most lively place in Dongyang City. Although it is not as big as the big cities in the inland, it is also the center of the entire northern part of the Sun Moon Empire. If you want to see or buy something, this is the best place..."
Wang Nan walked into a restaurant and pushed the door open. There seemed to be some kind of heated soul guide in the restaurant, and the temperature around him instantly rose.
"Come sit down, we can eat and talk, it's still quite cold outside."
"Hey, thank you for the visit." The man laughed and sat down somewhat stiffly.
"What's that over in the north of the city?"
"The north of the city, that's where soul masters often go." The man said, "There are many soul guides stored there, and it's where Dongyang City defends against soul beasts."
"There is also a small port outside the north gate. Some soul masters also go out to sea through that port to obtain soul rings and so on."
Wang Nan nodded.
According to his perception, those evil soul masters went to the north of the city. He originally thought that it would be good to eliminate a few evil soul masters' strongholds before leaving, just like he did in Banyue City.
But now that we know that soul guides are stored there, the guarding force must be strong, so there is no need to put ourselves in danger.
After a while, another roar of soul guide cannon was heard outside the city, and the entire hotel where Wang Nan was located shook.
The man sitting opposite Wang Nan sighed, "Alas, it looks like the soul beast attack will continue for more than half an hour."
