After listening to what Wei Zheng said, Wang Yao stood there blinking and pondering for a long time. There was too much information from Wei Zheng, and he needed to digest it properly.
"I think that instead of sending the grain to Shuangliu City, we should send it directly to Shizi Town. It is only a day's journey from Shencheng and is a necessary stop on the way to Tianhai Shencheng. Our army can assemble there first and then consider our next move," Wei Zheng then suggested to Wang Yao.
“Let’s go check out the Sea Reclamation City first. Qin Su, give Zhang Liang a cell phone and tell him to wait for my message before we take any action.”
Wang Yao hesitated for a moment, then took out a cell phone and handed it to Qin Su. He himself decided to go to the Sea Reclamation City to take a look. This matter was too strange, and he really couldn't believe it without seeing it with his own eyes.
Neither the Demon Clan nor the Hu Mei have any reason to give up the Sea-Reclaiming Divine City. As a major city of a region, the Sea-Reclaiming Divine City has a profound foundation and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the Sea-Reclaiming Divine City itself is highly symbolic. Even if the Demon Clan intends to gain a foothold in the south of the Sea-Reclaiming Divine Domain, there is no need for them to give up the Divine City.
Regardless, it was still extremely necessary to arrange a detachment to defend the city, at least to maximize the distraction of the divine race's counter-offensive army. Wei Zheng's immediate thought of taking control of the divine city upon receiving the scout's report stemmed from this very reason.
Therefore, Wang Yao was completely baffled by the Demon Clan's actions. However, the fact that they were able to take over the Sea-Reclaiming Divine City without losing a single soldier was an unexpected and enormous gain for the army.
After all, as long as the Lord of Reclamation can once again take up his post in the City of Reclamation, the gods can declare that they have recovered the Divine Realm of Reclamation, and the reinforcements have exceeded their pre-deployment goals.
"Let's hurry over there," Wang Yao said to Wei Zheng after making up his mind.
"Yes!" Wei Zheng replied, and with one hand on Wang Yao's shoulder, the two figures disappeared into the tent in a flash.
"Hey! Parents, take me with you!" Hui Shuo called out anxiously from the side.
"Oh no, the master is too hasty!" Wuying stamped his feet repeatedly. He had just arrived in the God Realm and was not yet clear about the exact location of the Sea-Reclaiming Divine City. He dared not use the teleportation technique recklessly and watched helplessly as Wang Yao was taken away by Wei Zheng without explanation. He panicked immediately.
"What should we do?" Qin Su looked at Wu Ying with a blank expression, holding her phone.
"Do as the master says, Lord Zheng. Please urgently dispatch a group of experts above the level of Ghost General who are familiar with the terrain of the divine realm and are quick on their feet to accompany me to the divine city to protect the master," Wuying instructed Qin Su, and then spoke to a Ghost Lord in the tent.
"What about me? And me..." Hui Shuo asked anxiously, pointing to his own nose.
While Wuying and Huishuo were frantically preparing to rush to the Sea-Filling Divine City, Wang Yao opened his eyes and the Sea-Filling Divine City had already appeared before him.
At first glance, although the great calamity had some impact on the city of the Sea-Reclaiming God, the city walls were so high and thick that it seemed that only the area outside the city was in a mess. The city gates were blocked by mud and sand, and some sections of the city wall had collapsed, but the main body of the city wall seemed to be intact.
But when Wang Yao and Wei Zheng stood on the city wall and looked into the city, they discovered that the Divine City of Reclaimed Sea had truly suffered a brutal ravages and was completely unrecognizable.
First, the original highest point in the city, the Sea-Reclaiming Temple, has been completely destroyed. Second, along the route from the city gates to the Sea-Reclaiming Temple, almost all the buildings have been destroyed, with only a few scattered buildings remaining intact in the corners of the city.
Clearly, the previous siege was quite fierce. Although the floodwaters and silt from the Buguiyang did not cause much damage to the city due to the city walls, these factors still greatly reduced the city's defensive capabilities. Therefore, the demons should have been able to enter the city without much effort.
The divine soldiers and generals defending the city could only engage in street battles with the demons, fighting street by street and house by house until the last soldier was left.
At the site that should have been a temple built on reclaimed land, several huge, deep pits covering a vast area can be seen in the distance, which should be the remnants left by the self-destruction of a powerful being.
Looking at the dark, ruined city before him, Wang Yao couldn't help but recall the time when Pei Yuanqing brought him here.
How beautiful the city was back then, adorned with strings of glittering lanterns! Who would have thought that now only the desolate sound of the wind wanders lonely among the broken bricks and tiles in the darkness?
"General, Wei Xian!" A celestial being suddenly emerged from the darkness.
Wang Yao squatted down and placed his hand on the ground, activating the "Earth Element Sensing Technique." Without personally investigating, he still couldn't believe that the Sea-Reclaiming Divine City had truly been abandoned by the Demon Clan.
"Have all the evil spirits been eliminated?" Wei Zheng asked the immortal.
"The more conspicuous ones have been cleared away, but many are still hidden underground, making them difficult to find traces of. We are slowly searching for them." Before the immortal finished speaking, a string of flames suddenly shot out from near the ruins of the Sea-Reclaiming Temple in the distance, illuminating that part of the night sky.
"It seems we've discovered another hidden demon." The immortal turned his head and looked at Wei Zheng.
"Go ahead and get busy. Make sure to clean up the Divine City as soon as possible." Wei Zheng nodded.
"Yes!" the immortal replied, and his figure disappeared into the darkness once more.
Half a day after the immortal left, Wang Yao clapped his hands and stood up. He used his earth-based sensing technique to not only explore the Sea-Reclaiming Divine City, but also searched the area several miles outside the city. He could basically confirm that the demon race was indeed gone.
Wang Yao took out the map of the divine realm that he had bought in the City of Shooting the Sun. He carefully examined the land reclamation divine realm on the map in the darkness. Wei Zheng, who was beside him, flicked his finger and lit a flame on his fingertip to illuminate Wang Yao's vision.
According to the map, Shizi Town is indeed a good assembly point. It is the only way to attack the Sea-Reclaiming City. If you want to defend the Sea-Reclaiming City, you must first defend Shizi Town. If the army marches south from the Sea-Reclaiming City, it must also pass through Shizi Town.
