This island is not the one used by the academy, but a military island. It is a giant city that can accommodate millions of people that was developed during the Shenyue War. It is more of a military base than a city.
The reason for arranging it on land is also for future strategic considerations. Ever since the Shenyue mutation, the sea clan has the ability to run rampant on land, humans have been their first imaginary enemy, and land combat has become a necessary skill for every sea clan warrior. It's not just about knowing how to do it, but about being proficient in it!
The elites of the younger generation naturally have to be very proficient, so with the unanimous consent of the king and the principals of various colleges, the military base was specially opened... In fact, after the failure of the Shenyue War, this military base was in a semi-abandoned state. It was usually only used for so-called military training. This time it can be regarded as a utilization of waste.
Of course, most people didn't feel much about this news, but some magicians were quite depressed. Being far away from the sea was really disadvantageous for them. They were still on an island, not inland, and the water element was still very abundant, which was understandable. Moreover, the rules of the conference did not allow them to change them. After all, fighting against humans was the general direction of the sea people.
Many sea clan generals were unwilling to accept the failure last time. They felt that the good situation was lost in an instant, not because humans were strong, but because of their own pride. They have never stopped planning to make a comeback, and are just waiting for the right time.
Fighting on land and sea is a quality that every sea clan must possess. In this way, the sea clan will be able to suppress the development of humans in the future and maintain their dominant position. This is absolutely vital to the interests of the sea clan. In the world of Maya, only these two races can truly compete for hegemony.
The three-day adjustment period is indeed very important. Some contestants have already set off for the competition site to familiarize themselves with the land combat situation. It is better to sharpen your weapons before the battle. I don't know if Lao Jiao and the others are prophets or have already had inside information. Anyway, their Mermaid Academy's training includes land... Some painful experiences are still vivid in their minds, but it is all thanks to these training that they can be so calm now.
Other tourists who followed along seized the opportunity to have fun. The Mermaid King City is also an ancient royal city with many places worth visiting and appreciating. Of course, it would be even better if you could pick up a mermaid girl, but the difficulty is still quite high.
Caesar and his team all passed, and although it was quite normal considering their strength, everyone still decided to celebrate. To put it bluntly, it was just an excuse to drink... and the biggest problem was who would pay the bill!
Because Alina and the others were also there,... it was not easy to let a girl pay for this, after all, it was related to a man's face, but... was Miss Yisa considered a girl? This question was worth discussing. Everyone naturally wanted this rich lady to pay, but no one dared to ask. If it was Yisa in the past, there would be no problem, but today Yisa also played the role of a lady, making all the poor guys feel itchy. Caesar was in debt, Batty was penniless, Didi was a poor guy, and Kao... because he made a fool of himself when he was disobedient when meeting guests some time ago, his old man cut off his pocket money. Unless he showed decent results at the exchange meeting, he would be punished by the family. Zhebie... except for the bow, there was nothing valuable on him.
Alas, heroes have short aspirations! No wonder there is a story where a copper coin can stump a hero.
Who is Caesar? He is best at making something out of nothing and using it flexibly. He suddenly remembered an invitation that Colorio gave him, saying that he wanted to treat him to a meal as an apology for his past immature behavior, and that he was always ready. Caesar did not dare to compliment Colorio, or rather, he was the most scheming person Caesar had ever seen. When he fought with him, he would rather be humiliated than hide his strength, and when his rebellion plan was exposed, he actually killed his own father with his own hands. He was present at the time, and when he saw old Renault die, he smiled and appreciated... I have to say that this kind of person is really scary. It's not about strength but scheming, but you can't find any evidence on the surface. Even if you tell others, the listeners will regard you as a villain. Recently, Colorio has been acting in a proper manner and has become a good old man. Many people say that after experiencing major changes, he has matured, and that the father's mistakes should not harm the children, but Caesar believes that he has not changed at all. The so-called change is just another contingency plan for him.
Caesar admired the strong, no matter in which aspect, but since Colorius came to him on his own initiative, it was most likely not good, so he was too lazy to pay attention... But now he might as well take advantage of the situation and then tell him his idea.
"What good thing can come from Colorisso? I'm afraid it will be a Hongmen Banquet. I heard that he has been very close to Roye and Xiao Bote recently." Yisa said with disdain.
"I don't have a good impression of him either." Clara didn't like gloomy and cruel people like Colorio. It was difficult for a normal girl to have a good impression of him.
"Isa and Lala are right. He wouldn't invite you for no reason. Although I don't know the details, this person is really a rare and scheming person. There are very few people like him. We should not let him get too close."
Elena naturally understood what Isa meant. Isa was Caesar's most trusted female friend. In Isa's view, Caesar and Elena were in love, so anyone pursuing Elena was dangerous. Although Elena didn't quite believe that Roye would do such a thing, she was very principled and had kept her distance from Roye. Roye was also aware of this. She was a smart girl. If she liked someone, she would naturally trust him. If she trusted others instead, that would be a ridiculous thing in itself.
"What my sister-in-law said is right. I don't know why, but an honest man like me wants to beat him up when I see him!" Kao said with a pout. No matter how Colorisio changed, Kao hated him. This guy was too fake from head to toe.
"Haha, it's easy to avoid an open attack but hard to guard against a hidden one. Anyway, my grudge against him is not a little bit. He must have some ulterior motive for inviting me this time. Even if I don't go this time, there must be something else. He is not the kind of person who gives up easily. Instead of doing this, I might as well take advantage of this free time to meet him. But we can't be unprepared. Since he wants to treat us, we will let him pay the price. How about this... this... this?"
"Boss, you are so mean. A place like that actually... Haha, that's interesting!"
"Okay, that's fine!"
