Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2210 - 677: Final Battle Countdown [3]

"Stop mentioning the heavy Phantom Beasts! The Sea Clan found an excuse and is unwilling to provide us with the ’Water Pattern Dragon Turtles’!" The Six-winged Heavenly King Atest said gloomily, "After we arrived in the Aegean, they suddenly reneged on their promise!"

"How could this happen?" General Litmanen rolled his eyes frantically, staring blankly at the Heavenly King’s throne, then looked at the Jade Emperor standing beside Queen Monroe, "Doesn’t this mean that His Highness the Jade Prince..."

The Queen of Lich and the Six-winged Heavenly King could only smile bitterly.

On the day Queen Jiabao personally observed the battle at Witherspoon, upon returning to the Demon World, she immediately tasked all departments with finding ways to transform Phantom Beasts. Thanks to the vast resources and convenient communication, a biologist soon reported his research findings to the Royal Palace—he discovered ten years ago that if a certain amount of the arcane plant fruit called "Petrification Berry" is ingested, it can transform the elemental power within a creature into stone arcane power.

This was a good opportunity, showcasing the strong foundation and national power of the Demon World.

However, the problem was that stone arcane power could not transform Arcane Beasts into Phantom Beasts that could change shape at will.

This regret was only resolved after Monroe conquered the Jade Prince—the Prince, naturally gifted with the "turning stone to jade," could transform stone arcane power in a creature into jade arcane power, as long as he was close enough. According to the Jade Prince, modifying jade arcane power to the level of ’Warm and Soft Jade’ was much easier than transforming it into the solid ’Jade Pillar Supporting the Sky’. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

And soft jade arcane power is precisely a special arcane power that can change its form freely.

However, after finally solving the critical issue of "Arcane Power Transformation" in creating Phantom Beasts, the leaders of the Demon Clan discovered another extremely troublesome problem—there were no gentle-natured, large-sized Arcane Beasts in the Demon World to transform into heavy Phantom Beasts. In the perilous living environment of the Demon World, every type of Arcane Beast is aggressive and combative; any tame Arcane Beasts have long been eliminated by the "Jungle Law" of survival of the fittest! Large Arcane Beasts like the Base Dragon and the Water Pattern Dragon Turtle, with gentle natures, only exist in the naturally blessed Aegean Continent.

The Demon Clan’s army has always relied on "storage crystals" and "arcane teleportation arrays" to resupply and provision, never considering or even thinking about deliberately raising large Arcane Beasts as military service beasts—ask yourself, who would abandon highly advanced logistical systems to research and use the ’service beast transport’ primitive method?

So now, although the Demon Clan army has the means to transform arcane power, they can only reach out to their Sea Clan allies to request giant Arcane Beasts ’Water Pattern Dragon Turtles’ to equip their army with heavy Phantom Beasts.

But no one expected the Sea Clan, who had given generous promises in advance, to suddenly back out.

"From the recent battle conditions, the Sea Clan hasn’t found a way to transform Phantom Beasts, so why can’t they support us with a few hundred dragon turtles?" General Litmanen couldn’t quite accept it after thinking about it for a long time: "Kings always keep their promises, don’t the two Sea Emperors fear being ridiculed for breaking theirs?"

"Actually, you can’t say they’ve completely broken their promise." The Six-winged Heavenly King and the Queen exchanged a glance and smiled: "At least we got two Water Departure Formations as compensation from them."

"General Litmanen, I’ve had the same question as you, so I specifically checked the dictionary. It turns out there’s a well-known saying on the Aegean Continent - ’promises from the ocean are as fickle as the ocean itself’!" The Queen of Lich, unsure if she was being humorous or felt helpless, shook her head repeatedly with a smile, "Actually, in my view, it’s not that the Sea Clan habitually breaks promises, but rather they’re guarding against us."

All the soldiers and officers of the Demon Clan laughed; Her Majesty the Queen made an absolutely uninformed remark. Is it even necessary to say that the Sea Clan would guard against the Demon Clan? After resolving things in Aegean, there’s bound to be conflict between us sooner or later.

"We have the ability to transform Arcane Beasts, they have the Phantom Beast seedlings, why don’t we make a fifty-fifty collaboration to solve everything?" General Litmanen self-righteously offered a suggestion to the Queen: "Your Majesty might as well send an envoy to negotiate with the Sea Clan, they have what we don’t, but we have what they don’t, instead of stalemating here, why not work together for mutual benefit."

"You are too naive, my dear General." The Queen of Lich curled a seductive and charming smile on her lips: "I know I’m not always savvy about military matters, but I understand a simple truth, although heavy Phantom Beasts are docile, they aren’t so easy to train! The Sea Clan has been training ’Water Pattern Dragon Turtles’ for years, do we have that kind of experience? Do you think this kind of exchange is for our Phantom Beasts to form combat ability first, or theirs? If war breaks out between us during this period, wouldn’t we be creating trouble for ourselves?"

This indeed had a hint of "Way of Taming," and General Litmanen was no fool, quickly understanding the point and stopped speaking, sitting back down.

"Even without Phantom Beasts, having a large airborne force is just as effective! I am honored to inform you that recently, the military sectors across the three continents of our Demon World have been in full swing producing aerial bombs!" The Six-winged Heavenly King clapped his hands to lift the somewhat gloomy atmosphere: "As of now, Queen Jiabao and Lord Dunbowle are still personally overseeing the making of aerial bombs. Our national power still stands in stark contrast to the Aegean; needless to say, the current stockpile of aerial bombs is already enough for an engagement equivalent to the scale of the Sabak air raid! How long have we been preparing? Aerial bombing and strike tactics were pioneered by the Aegean Continent, they should have started research and production much earlier than us, shouldn’t they?"
