Chapter 405 - 160: Seeking Allies
Holding Lando’s hand tightly, Lu Hong didn’t linger too much, as over a hundred eyes were watching him, which was rather embarrassing.
"At sea, the sea tribes have an absolute advantage, but they also have a very deadly weakness—Demon Beasts!"
"Demon Beasts?!" The crowd was stunned. How could Demon Beasts counter the sea tribes?
Lu Hong explained, "The sea tribes are a special race. They are hostile to the demon beasts in the ocean. We just need to find the ocean’s demon beasts and use their power to suppress the unique characteristics of the sea tribes. In doing so, the balance of victory will no longer lean towards the sea tribes."
"But..." Xie Zhongxing spoke up, "From the watchtower fortress to this island, there hasn’t been a single trace of a demon beast along the way."
In the eyes of the empire’s generals, the ocean’s demon beasts and the sea tribes were of the same species.
Lu Hong shook his head, "The sea tribes are like orcs, and orcs and demon beasts are also two distinct species. Moreover, the ocean’s demon beasts are creatures nurtured by the sea, different from the sea tribes. They are naturally antagonistic to the sea tribes. The ocean demon beasts seem... seem more like original products."
Based on the information he had, Lu Hong made a deduction to the crowd, "Before the Sea God transformed the sea, the sea tribes had not yet been born. The demon beasts should have been borne by the sea before the sea tribes. After the Sea God replaced the will of the ocean, that’s when the sea tribes came into being. Therefore, the demon beasts naturally have a hostility towards the sea tribes. Even though the Sea God replaced the original will of the ocean, the sea as a whole remains the same. Hence, the ocean’s demon beasts can effectively curb the characteristics of the sea tribes and help us gain the upper hand."
Seeing Lu Hong’s analysis so clear and cogent, Xie Zhongxing couldn’t help but wonder if the Baron had returned to the Divine Favor earlier, could the empire have already repelled the sea tribes?
"But my lord Baron, where should we find the ocean demon beasts?" At this moment, someone posed the question.
