"Quickly, quickly send the message to His Majesty, tell him to return immediately!"
Perhaps due to overconfidence, or perhaps because they hadn't worried about an attack from outsiders,
the Spirit Empire only took its elite troops with them this time.
Less than 500,000 troops remained on the mainland for defense, mostly the old, weak, and disabled.
Moreover, most of the powerful Title Douluos who originally belonged to the Spirit Hall had already gone to war.
It could be said that the Spirit Empire's rear was now quite vulnerable.
And the biggest uncertainty now was the location of the Sun Moon Empire's main fleet.
Even Purple Pearl, who was quite familiar with that sea area, couldn't find it.
Fortunately, the Spirit Empire was very efficient, and this situation quickly reached Ye Fei's ears.
At this moment, less than half a day had passed since they completed the hostage exchange. And at
this moment, Ye Fei was interrogating the prisoner Gu Yue.
He had learned some information about the Sun Moon Empire.
"Heh, it seems your friend is very efficient! He's already made a move so quickly?"
The guy called Evil Emperor seemed to be itching to act even before coming to see Gu Yue.
The Sun Moon Empire's fleet was already prepared.
However, a vast ocean separates the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent.
Such a long-distance raid is definitely not an easy task for a large fleet.
So the situation doesn't seem as bad as imagined.
Even if the Sun Moon Empire's fleet has arrived, it's impossible for them to directly attack the Douluo Continent.
What they need now is a springboard, or rather, a temporary supply base.
So, looking across the entire continent, where is the most suitable place to serve as this supply base?
There's only one!
That's Seagod Island!
After releasing Purple Pearl, the mysterious foreign general immediately gathered all the warships scattered around.
The total number reached a staggering 2000 ships.
This was a powerful fleet; even the Spirit Empire's entire fleet only numbered around 9000.
When this mighty fleet surrounded Seagod Island,
the entire island was in an atmosphere of panic.
"What's going on? Has the Spirit Empire attacked us?"
"No way, this isn't the Spirit Empire's flag. Did you see it? A sun and a moon!"
"What is this? But where else but the Spirit Empire could we find such a powerful fleet?"
Just as everyone was discussing this, Poseidon slowly walked out.
"These people are from the Sun and Moon Continent. I just didn't expect them to develop so quickly!"
It turned out that Poseidon already knew.
As the guardian of the entire ocean, Poseidon could not only see every direction of the sea,
but also observe the situation of the continents connected to it.
At the easternmost edge of this ocean, of course, lay the powerful Douluo Continent civilization.
This was the most prosperous place for humans and spirit beasts.
But to the west, connected to it, lay a barbaric land
known as the Sun and Moon Continent.
Although this place also had humans and spirit beasts, its level of civilization was worlds apart from that of the Douluo Continent.
It could be said that one side was a civilized world, and the other side was a primitive dark age.
But for some reason, in recent decades, the Sun and Moon Continent seemed to have awakened.
It completely copied the Eastern model of the Douluo Continent, forming a unified great empire.
They even created an organization similar to the Spirit Hall, called the Holy Spirit Cult.
Originally, Poseidon thought these guys couldn't cause much trouble, so he hadn't paid much attention to them in recent years.
But unexpectedly, these guys actually set their sights on Seagod Island,
wanting to use it as a springboard for their attack on Douluo Continent.
"Is there a problem? I can immediately summon disciples from the Clear Sky Sect to help!"
Seeing the crisis on Seagod Island, Tang Hao immediately became tense.
This opponent's intentions were clearly hostile!
"Well, then I'll trouble you. I will also organize Seagod Island for defense!"
If it were during its heyday, Seagod Island wouldn't be afraid of this attack at all.
But apart from the island itself, they now have no protection from the Seagod in the vast ocean.
Even the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan is gradually moving away from Seagod Island.
This is not a good sign.
Currently, there are probably less than 100,000 people on Seagod Island.
The Clear Sky Sect could probably muster about 5,000 men in a short time.
The Sun Moon Empire's vanguard force numbered around 80,000.
In terms of numbers, the two sides seemed evenly matched.
However, for some reason, the opposing fleet's general seemed very familiar with the terrain of Seagod Island.
He was able to calmly command his fleet to bypass the reefs and currents, even avoiding the territory of the Demon Soul Great White Shark.
This was an expert!
And it was very likely that this guy had been to Seagod Island before and was quite familiar with the area!
Could it be someone on their side tipping them off?
Or had someone from the Sun Moon Empire already infiltrated?
After all, Seagod Island not only accepted sea spirit masters but also absorbed some land spirit masters.
"Excuse me? Is the High Priestess of Seagod Island, Poseidon, here? Would you please come out for a chat?"
Just as everyone was feeling confused, a person appeared from the opposing fleet.
It was a Title Douluo with nine spirit rings, and this guy actually knew Poseidon's name.
"Looks like an old friend, I'll go see her!"
Ignoring everyone's objections, Poseidon stepped forward.
However, Tang Chen followed closely behind, and the simultaneous appearance of two Limit Douluos exuded a powerful aura!
The guy opposite, although a Title Douluo, was only around level 94.
He wasn't particularly strong.
"I am Poseidon, and this is my husband, Tang Chen. May I ask who you are?"
Looking at the burly man before her, Poseidon had no recollection of him.
"Heh, I never expected the Grand Elder to still be so radiant, just like back then!"
Clearly, this was an old acquaintance.
However, Poseidon, always in a high position, probably wouldn't remember so many people.
But Old Tang beside her wasn't so easy to talk to.
He immediately brandished his Clear Sky Hammer, intending to give the other party a warning!
"Boy, just tell me your background!"
"This must be the famous Clear Sky Douluo! I've heard so much about you. Back in the Spirit Hall..."
Unexpectedly, this guy mentioned the Spirit Hall when introducing himself.
Upon receiving this information, Poseidon instantly recalled an old incident.
"I understand, you're one of the top experts from the Spirit Hall who attacked Seagod Island back then!"
The incident happened a long time ago, and even few people on the Douluo Continent remember it.
The Spirit Hall has tried its best to keep the news of that crushing defeat a secret.
After all, it was a very shameful thing.
But this person before me is clearly a survivor of that great battle, just like Purple Pearl!
Therefore, what's written in history books isn't necessarily true…
