Chapter 741: Sunset

e title page of The Card Maker's Guide, Lu Cheng still agrees with it.Lu Cheng decided to attack from the slime's weakness.What is a slime's biggest weaknessThat's just a lack of intelligence.Not all...Underwater, the city of the dead, a table.

"The violent breach of contract and illegal seizure of our assets by Zhongdu personnel is a fact. We speculate they want the blueprints for heavy warships. The Longship Oracle told us that if their craftsman's longship is held for more than a day, there is a risk of the blueprints being leaked."

"I can't wait any longer, give me the information."

"Report, our fleet has been locked down by the [Thunderchain] at Zhongdu Xin Port, Dock No. 2. That area is under construction with no civilians nearby, allowing us to directly strike the upper layers of the [Thunderchain], melt the port land, and liberate our vessels."

"Good." A masked, towering Yin-Shaka Master received the news and immediately issued a table command: "Play the pre-card [Hell's Decree]!"

This person's code name is "Judge," a 5-star card master, and one of the two super players in the city of the dead.

Actually, "Bei Hai Shuai" should strictly be considered the ghost marshal of Wailing City. Perhaps it was San Chao's creation...

Because it's difficult for the dead to ascend in stars, there has only been one Gold 6-star card master in the Ghost Realm throughout all these years. This person was born during the Exploration Era and later served in the Underworld, becoming famous for their [Judge] card deck. After entering the Super Realm, their code name naturally became Judge.

The Netherworld now represents not only a pool of characters, but also the organization of Chinese Ghost World card masters.

This time, he will be the main attacker.

And the other senior official, Master Chen, assisted from the side.

But now there is no more Lord Chen and his fleet. General Chen is simply too old. He started in the Age of Great Navigation, back when he was still the Ghost Ship Captain from another world, leading a ghostly fleet to expand their territory.

Even though he is currently a 6-star, his lifespan is short, with one foot already stepping onto the reincarnation stage.

In the Battle of Changcheng Defense, the Battle of Wangchuan Waterway.

He fought the Death King himself for dozens of rounds, sustaining heavy injuries. To make matters worse...

After the war, the Chen family fleet suffered heavy casualties again. Based on the above reasons.

Master Chen suggested dissolving and reorganizing the family. The Chen family fleet would henceforth be incorporated into the Wángsǐchéng (City of Misery) and placed under the control of the Netherworld Army, subject to the Yin Division's regulation.

They will still deliver operational ships to the North Sea Fleet, and Master Chen will also become a ghostly general of the Nether Capital Army.

However, it's unlikely that he could personally carry out such a forceful strike with the [Soul Restraining Nail]. He can only entrust this task to the Judge.

"Open the coffin lid! [Impermanence Chains], release, and insert [Soul-Binding Nail] into the prepared slot!"

Soul Nails require the current Water Army Commander and Yin Division to jointly issue before they can be activated.

The startup process requires a total of three Overlord Card Masters, sixty-three Gold Card Masters, and a large number of high-star cards including the Underworld Emperor.

Lu Cheng dispatched Zhou Yu to lead the North Sea Fleet as its Grand Commandant. He was authorized to issue orders on Lu Cheng's behalf.

Therefore, the [Town Soul Nail] successfully entered the preparation phase of the round.

In the depths of the sea, chains broke free from the doomed vessel, the massive coffin lid creaked open, revealing a chillingly long 200-meter nail.

The coffin radiated an eerie glow beneath the sea, and anyone passing nearby would hear a piercing shriek and feel a bone-chilling cold emanating from its surface.

"The Soul-Binding Nail, cast iron and jade gold material, a composite wide-area strike card, yin attribute, formerly the North Sea Sailor Hurricane spell missile, therefore also known as Hurricane-2.” An old scholar stood below the coffin at the execution platform, teaching students from the Jixia Academy who were on a practical experience trip to the City of the Dead: "Which young master or miss would like to introduce jade gold to everyone"

"Sir, I know!" A female student raised her hand: "Youjin, also known as 'Ghost World Gold', in the traditional smelting era, Youjin was a veritable precious metal, one of the best materials card."

"Well then, I'll ask you another question. In our time, the metallurgical technology of mythical forging is just starting to emerge. So what material has the best overall performance" the Master asked.

"Second turn, iron smelting!"

"Very good, Gui Jia Xue Gong gets 10 points!" The teacher nodded, motioning for the girl to sit down, then continued, "Before Mount Bu Zhou collapsed, almost all of the Youjin was forged into soul-suppressing nails and loaded into the submerged coffin of the ship Wan Si."

"Master, can we see the 600-meter class launch today"

"That's impossible, the 600-meter-class 【Giant Soul Nail】 has a total of six pieces. It was a super weapon prepared for attacking 【Jerusalem】. A 200-meter-class soul nail is enough to deter Zhongdu. You guys better observe carefully. This is the first time this kind of card has entered the world's vision. After watching, give me a review of at least 6000 words."

The Soul-Anchoring Nail is an improved version of the Tidal Hammer. Instead of using water as a striking medium, it employs the [Tsunami Wave] to provide propulsion. The cast iron [Soul-Nail] accelerates underwater thanks to the [Tsunami Wave], and when the wave propels water outwards, it achieves extreme speeds. Meanwhile, the 200-meter long cast iron barrel utilizes a more traditional gunpowder propulsion system.

After exiting the barrel, it accelerates in two stages using gunpowder in mid-air, driving its sharp, ghostly gold warhead deep into the enemy's ground.

A touch of electrum ensured the object remained cohesive, allowing its internal spells to function.

The Soul Nail’s internal Soul Sail will instantly absorb a large amount of Yin Qi from the ground within a radius of 50 meters around the point of impact, first causing the “Soul Binding” effect.

(Soulbind: All attributes of the biological unit are reduced, skill release speed and attack speed decrease. When dying under Soulbind status, it will not enter the graveyard and will not trigger any death skills.)

Then, with a touch of yang fire, I'll trigger the explosion of the yin fire.

Yin Fire is a type of spell. Although its killing power is not as strong as Bright Fire, it has magical penetration and increases the effectiveness against magical shields by 100%.

The characteristic of "combustion" will cause the spell to erupt from the center outwards, igniting any flammable materials it comes into contact with.

(Note: Scorpion Mech Walker - Physical Penetration, ineffective against magical shields/rule shields, etc. Biwa Cave Master - Rule Penetration, effective against any armor/shield.)

At the same time, Zhongdu Xinang Affairs Hall.

"Hello, hello~" Jin Shan beamed at the approaching group: "Please this way, honored guests."

The envoy from Qin claimed they were from nearby Qin warships, but the reconnaissance cards didn't reveal any Qin warships at all.

"Explain" The Qin envoy looked pale and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Honorable Ally, as this is our first time conducting trade across the seas, we are concerned that some cards might cause ecological issues like invasive species. Therefore, we ask that your vessel remain docked for now while we finalize a new agreement." Jinshan rubbed his hands together and gestured for the waiter to bring tea.

"No tea for me, where shall we talk"

"But right here," Jin Shan added, "Your esteemed guest can rest assured that the new agreement will not pose any difficulties, it's simply an addition to ensure the safety of both parties."

"No, we've talked about this. We're not discussing any agreements," the envoy shook his head and then slowly sat down in a chair.

"Well, then what should we talk about"

"Sit down and wait a moment, or are you in such a hurry" The messenger looked at the mountain of gold, his eyes holding an unreadable meaning.

Jinshan seems to be beating around the bush. He is, of course, in no hurry. He still needs to stall for time, aiming for about two days to obtain key parameters. But what is this messenger trying to sell Without discussing an agreement, what else can be talked about

That's right, before sunset we had absolutely no intention of defaulting or declaring war. After all, we have this common enemy. You can take your crew away immediately, just leave the ship and cargo behind. We can discuss the safety of trade goods together then...

"Mr. Jin, is that it" the messenger interrupted Jin Shan's speech.

"Yes."

"Put on another layer, the sun is setting soon and it might get chilly."is"“This tripod weighs how much, if King Chu Zhuang truly wants to know its weight, why not let him try it himself” Wang Sun Man smiled faintly. “The Nine Tripod Cauldrons belong to the heavens, only...
