How horrible will the final ending that Lin Yue described be?
Completely merged with this quantum sea? Then all the living things on Watt Continent would cease to exist.
The Inashi people whom she is supposed to protect will also be annihilated in this sea.
What a horrible ending.
Lei Dianying was so terrified that he closed his eyes and leaned completely against Lin Yue, his body trembling slightly, as if he could see such an ending.
Lin Yue also knew that the incident was too shocking and that the girl would find it difficult to digest it for a while, so she let her go.
With a wave of his hand, the scene in front of him changed instantly, and the next second he was back in the tea room of the castle tower.
I thought Lei Dianying's anger would ease a little after returning here, but seeing that her shoulders didn't show any desire to leave him at all, I knew how much of a shock the scene just now had brought to her.
Lin Yue sighed, and then had to continue lending herself to her out of kindness.
He sat silently aside, smelling the fragrance emanating from Lei Dianying's body.

Chapter 293: One wave comes after another
Kujo Sara acted very quickly.
After leaving the Kujo family, she immediately found the messenger and quickly issued a strict order.
As the order was conveyed, the entire Ming Shen Island was put under strict control in just over ten minutes.
Especially the outlying island, which is the foreign trade center of Inazuma City and a must-go place for many other countries to come and do business.
This place is not only prosperous, but also has a complex population, so the vigilance garrison requires more manpower.
In less than half a minute, patrolling soldiers could be seen everywhere on the island, and the people on the island began to panic.
However, even after Kujo Sara's order was issued and the entire Narukami Island had been under such strict control, something that made Kujo Sara furious still happened.
When Kujo Sara was patrolling the streets as the shogun, he was met by two soldiers who looked like dead ghosts.
One of the soldiers was being supported by another soldier while limping. Both of their faces were covered in blood, and their armor was torn and tattered and still oozing blood. It was a horrible sight.
When Kujo Sara saw the two people head-on, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
Seeing the miserable appearance of the two men, the common people of Inazuma nearby hurried over to help them.
People from nearby shops dropped their work, came to the two men, helped them up, and took them to the clinic.
"Soldiers, what's wrong with you? How did you get into this situation?"
"What a terrible wound! How did you manage to hold on until now?"
"..."
Under the concerned inquiries of the people around them, the two soldiers looked angry, frightened, and with a hint of regret.
"We are a team responsible for patrolling the southern coast, 10 people each."
"While we were on patrol, we encountered a group of suspicious people and were planning to capture them for questioning."
"But the result...Alas!"
"We encountered an ambush by the enemy. There were more than 20 of them, and each of them had the Eye of God. Under their siege, only two of us escaped."
The two soldiers said dejectedly with bitter faces.
"Another attack?! This is the second one!"
"Yes, I heard that a team was attacked an hour ago, and the thieves even burned down a village on the outskirts of the city!"
"Yes, yes, yes! There were twelve people before, and now there are more than twenty. I originally suspected that it was that group of bandits, but now I think it should be those people from Haigi Island!"
"Indeed! After all, with so many God's Eyes, those bandits can't take them all out!"
As the people started talking, Kujo Sara walked quickly forward and also heard the discussion.
Kujo Sara couldn't help but frown, with a strange feeling in his heart.
"How are you doing?"
"Quick! Notify the doctor to come and save him."
Kujo Sara no longer cared about the strange feeling in her heart. She asked the two soldiers a question, and then gave an order to the accompanying soldiers.
After receiving the order, the accompanying soldiers quickly turned around and ran towards the clinic to get help.
"Quick! Apply pressure to their wounds, or they will bleed to death!"
"Several people, help lift up the soldier with limited mobility to avoid secondary damage to the bones!"
Kujo Sara quickly took command and ordered the soldiers to rescue.
Not long after, a doctor arrived and treated the soldier's wounds while sending him to the clinic.
However, when he arrived at the clinic, he found that all the doctors in the clinic were busy and exhausted.
Several injured soldiers were sent to the hospital for treatment.
Moreover, the circumstances in which these soldiers were injured were basically the same, as they were all attacked while on patrol or doing their work.
The people who attacked them were a group of more than ten or twenty people, all of whom were equipped with the Eye of God.
When Kujo Sara heard the news, his head buzzed and he felt dizzy.
She was standing in the corridor of the clinic. If she hadn't been holding onto the wall, she would have probably fallen down.
According to reports from my men, the entire Narukami Island is experiencing attacks from invaders at intervals of just a few minutes, even in places a hundred miles apart.
Such incidents have occurred ten times so far.
And as we go further back, the attacks occur closer and closer to the inland of the island.
This situation made Kujo Sara more and more serious.
She had clearly issued alerts, but intruders still attacked.
This made her always feel that there seemed to be an invisible big hand behind this matter.
The other side always seemed to be able to grasp the movements of their soldiers and specifically attack places where the defenses were weak.
When he thought of this, Kujo Sara felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and fear in his heart.
"The situation is different now. Pass the order and have the patrolling soldiers give up their vigilance on the outer areas of the island and concentrate all their forces inside Inazuma Castle, especially the castle tower!"
Kujo Sara had no choice but to grit his teeth and concentrate all his forces at Inazuma Castle, the most important city in Inazuma, and give up the vigilance around the coast of Narukami Island.
"What? Master Jiujo, if that's the case, wouldn't those small villages along the coast be..."
The accompanying soldiers were shocked when they heard this and immediately expressed their disbelief at the order.
Because if this is implemented, the safety of Inazuma Castle will be guaranteed, but what about the safety of the people in the surrounding coastal areas?
They have become a force without any resistance.
"I know this, but I can't care about it now!"
"Because I can feel that the mysterious invaders have already sneaked into the island, and perhaps they are now lurking in Inazuma Castle!"
When Kujo Sara said this, the surrounding soldiers immediately gasped.
“Hiss! This… doesn’t that mean the entire Narukami Island is in danger?!”
The soldiers' concerns were not without reason, and Kujo Sara felt the same way.
"Perhaps, so the safety of Inazuma Castle is more important."
"Have the soldiers patrol 24 hours a day. The patrol team must have more than 20 people, and there must be at least 5 God's Eye owners in the team!"
After Kujo Sara passed on the order, he left the clinic.
Just when she was about to go back to the Kujo family to ask her adoptive father for instructions, several soldiers hurriedly passed by Kujo Sara.
Seeing that they seemed to be heading to the same destination as her, she stopped the soldiers.
"What's going on? You're so flustered. Did something happen?"
When the soldiers saw Kujo Sara, they seemed to have found their backbone and quickly explained what was going on.
"Master Jiujo, I finally found you!"
"Master Jiujo, there has been a large-scale conflict on the outlying island. The situation is quite complicated. You should go over and take a look!"
When Kujo Sara heard what the others said, his head started buzzing again.
I am really afraid of what will happen.
At this time, the matter of the invaders has not been fully investigated, and problems have arisen again in this important port area off the island.
This made Kujo Sara feel overwhelmed.
However, as a general of the shogunate and a person of the Tenryo, she naturally fulfilled her duties with all her heart and soon went to the outlying island with several soldiers.
Chapter 294: The Merchant Fleet of Kaigi Island
Outlying islands.
This is Inazuma Castle's external commercial port, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Kanjo Bugyo, one of the Three Bugyo.
People must hold various certificates to enter and exit this place.
At this time, on the coast of the outlying island, there are many foreign and local merchant ships docked.
A group of people were facing each other on the road.
On one side, ten soldiers were standing in a row protecting a man who had fallen to the ground. The man was dressed in fine clothes and it was obvious that he was either rich or noble.
Opposite them were two young men, who were protecting the two men. The two men they were protecting were dressed in ordinary clothes, but the decorations on their clothes were slightly different from those of Inazuma, with coral-like logos.
"Damn it! Who are you? How dare you hurt the Kande Bugei?!"
The soldier questioned the two young men.
"Ouch—!"
"Captain Yutian, these two guys almost hurt my waist! Capture them quickly!"
The man lying on the ground held his waist, slowly stood up with a painful look on his face, and let out a wail.
The people watching included local people from Inazuma as well as people from other countries overseas.
They pointed at the two groups of people on the field and talked about them.
Some people even recognized the identities of these people.
"Isn't the person lying on the ground Mita, the Kanjo Bugyo who is in charge of island landings and taxation?!"
"Yes, it's him! The two young men opposite him seem to be one of them is Fengyuan Manye!"
"Man'ye Kaedehara? Who is that?"
"Oh, it's that handsome young man in red maple leaf clothes!"
"Ohhh! So his name is Kaedehara Manye!"
"Is he famous?"
"Uh... Have you heard of the Kamisato family?"
"Nonsense, the Kamisato family, one of the Three Magistrates, of course knows."
"That's right, the one called Kaedehara Manye is from the Kaedehara family, which is under the Kamisato family."
"Oh! I see. No wonder he dared to take action!"
"..."
The onlookers were talking about it, while the two parties present were still on the verge of a fight.
"So what if we are from Kanding Fengxing? How dare you make things difficult for outsiders who come here to do business!"
The white-haired young man had a handsome face and a pair of sharp red eyes that were fixed on Mita on the ground.
The young man was none other than Fengyuan Manye from the Fengyuan family.
Fengyuan Manye was not afraid of the soldiers around him at all, nor of their identities. The fingers of one hand were on the sword guard at his waist, and the other hand was already grasping the hilt, ready to draw the sword at any time.
