Chapter 685 Dragon King?
"Shanghai seeking help from Beijing?"
In the Peony Hall of the Forbidden City in the capital, Ye Dingjiang, the chief seated at the head of the table, frowned and repeatedly pondered this sudden news.
At the long table, all the high-ranking officials of the capital were already seated, and many of them had a restless glint in their eyes.
After encountering the group of people who claimed to be from Shanghai seeking help, Cang Nian briefly learned about their situation and then brought them back to the capital, handing them over to the capital's higher-ups.
He couldn't be bothered with such things.
The only thing that really bothered him was that the sea monster tide, which forced even Shanghai to seek help, likely included quite a few Tier 5 creatures.
If possible, hunting a flock to eat would be a good idea.
Meanwhile, the news in the capital city was met with great excitement.
To put it bluntly, the fact that Shanghai was attacked by sea monsters is actually a good thing for Beijing.
Because if Shanghai, like Beijing, had experienced no major disasters and developed steadily since the revival of spiritual energy, it would inevitably expand to a size similar to Beijing.
In that case, if the two powerful forces want to merge and achieve unification after the revival of spiritual energy, a war will be inevitable.
But now that Shanghai has been hit by disaster and has been forced to seek help from outside, the resistance to the merger between the two sides will be much smaller.
All the capital city needs to do is send troops to Shanghai to end the disaster, and the people of Shanghai will naturally be extremely grateful.
Since the resurgence of spiritual energy, the high-ranking officials in power in Shanghai will also realize the power gap between the two sides and will not unwisely go against the will of the people in Shanghai and the general trend, and fight against the capital again.
Whether it's the capital or Shanghai, they are all compatriots of the Dragon Kingdom. Unless absolutely necessary, the top leadership in the capital does not want the two sides to turn against each other.
This situation is undoubtedly the best it can be.
However, the high-ranking officials in the capital are all shrewd and experienced, and they won't show their joy on their faces.
After all, the disaster in Shanghai is a serious and tragic event.
It would be too inhumane to show joy in front of the rescue team sent from Shanghai.
"Yes, Chief! Our city has been ravaged by sea monsters for a month and a half!"
They are numerous and powerful.
They have already forced us to a point hundreds of kilometers away from the Yangtze River.
At its peak, our Shanghai Survivor Base had nearly 40 million survivors.
As a result, after this period of fighting against the sea monsters, the number of people is probably less than 20 million!
"Please, Chief, send troops as soon as possible to relieve our siege!"
Among the group of people from Shanghai pleading for help, the only fifth-tier expert stood at the end of the long table, pleading with a sorrowful tone.
"Sending troops will definitely happen."
However, before sending troops, we need to understand the strength of your Shanghai.
Most importantly, how strong is the horde of marine mammals that Shanghai is facing?
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. If we don't even know the enemy, how many strong warriors would we have to send?
Sending too few won't be enough, but sending too many... our capital also needs a certain number of strong warriors to guard it. If we can't spare enough strong warriors to quell the sea monster tide in one fell swoop...
That matter requires further consideration, but you can rest assured that, in any case, the capital will do everything in its power to help Shanghai overcome this difficult time.
Ye Dingjiang looked at the powerful figures from Shanghai below him and spoke calmly.
"Chief, it's been almost a month since our team left Shanghai."
The survivor base in Shanghai has a large population, and with the sea monster tide surrounding it, there is no way out.
We were only able to come to the capital for help because we were sent out by a space-type expert from Shanghai.
At that time, a total of six teams were dispatched: two to the capital, two to Guangzhou, and the remaining two to travel upstream along the Yangtze River to seek assistance in Jiangcheng and even Shancheng.
The other team that came to the capital has disappeared without a trace, perhaps perishing along the way.
Before we set off, there were still a little over eighty fifth-tier powerhouses in Shanghai, and over one hundred thousand fourth-tier powerhouses.
How much is left now is unknown.
As for the sea monster tide... there aren't many fifth-tier powerhouses among them; only about fifty have been identified...
But what's most terrifying is that there are six real dragons among them, and the leader of them claims to be the Dragon King of the East Sea!
Before we set off, the Dragon King of the East Sea was already at the late stage of the fifth rank!
Moreover, it is not an ordinary late-stage fifth-order cultivator. Just this late-stage fifth-order cultivator alone can overpower our three peak fifth-order elders in Shanghai.
The other five true dragons included one slightly weaker than the East Sea Dragon King, who called himself the Yellow Sea Dragon King. He was also at the late stage of the fifth rank, yet he was able to overpower a senior at the peak of the fifth rank.
The remaining four true dragons are also among the strongest in their class.
Our city has many fifth-tier experts, but its foundation is not as strong as that of the capital. Only three senior experts at the peak of the fifth tier can contend with the Dragon King of the East Sea.
The other late-stage fifth-tier veterans, working together, could barely manage a draw against the Yellow Sea Dragon King.
However, apart from that, although there are many fifth-tier beings in the Demon City, none can rival those true dragons.
Therefore, although there are few of them at the fifth rank, each one is a ferocious beast capable of fighting multiple opponents, and it is none of us in the Magic City who can control them.
Furthermore, the number of sea beasts below the fifth rank during the sea beast tide far exceeds that of the city, making it even more difficult to contend with them.
When asked by Ye Dingjiang, the powerful figure from Shanghai didn't hesitate at all and blurted out everything he knew, like spilling beans.
"Dragon King?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenyu, the former Minister of the Military Affairs Department of the Dragon Kingdom, murmured something, his expression somewhat strange.
He was Yang Feng's second grandfather, and Yang Tianhuang, the Overlord Spear of the Yang Family, was his elder brother.
Unlike the other three factions in the Dragon Kingdom's army, the Yang family's lineage is based on bloodline.
Among his generation, the most talented marksman in the Yang family was his eldest brother, Yang Tianhuang.
He had no talent for marksmanship, but he pursued a career in politics and eventually rose to the position of Minister of the Army.
Therefore, he is Yang Feng's second grandfather and is quite familiar with Meng Lan.
He remembered that Menglan had said that the black and white dragon in the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, which was the same color scheme as the husky, was the Bohai Dragon King.
Originally, the top officials in the capital did not take this seriously.
They are used to wild evolved creatures occupying a territory and becoming kings or emperors.
However, they later learned from Professor Shen that the Dragon King mentioned by Erhalong was not self-proclaimed, but was related to the ancient dragon ancestors.
Now, hearing the title "Dragon King" again, I can't help but feel a little surprised.
After all, according to Menglan, Aotian wasn't actually that strong; at most, he could only suppress Menglan by taking advantage of his home field.
This level of skill is truly amazing among the younger generation in the capital; there are few who can surpass it.
However, in terms of combat strength at the same level, perhaps the Yellow Sea Dragon King could suppress someone of a smaller level, and they could roughly match each other.
What about that East Sea Dragon King who fought three opponents of a higher level?
