From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

The Swordholders are a free alliance with no mandatory requirements for their members.

All the swordsmen came together for the same goal; they were truly like-minded.

High Priestess Sona of the Siren Clan proposed at the Swordholders' Council a joint attack on the heartland of the Blackscale Demons, hoping to gain the assistance of other allied civilizations.

Lu Heng did not rush to grant her request, but instead inquired about the situation.

Sona stood up and earnestly explained to the swordsmen present the objectives of this attack plan, the Siren Clan's preparations, and the strength of their opponents.

After listening carefully, Lu Heng could tell that the Siren Clan had made ample arrangements for this attack plan, but lacked the number of warriors and needed the assistance of the allied civilizations.

Since the members of the Swordholder have no mandatory obligations, decisions must be made through a vote.

Lu Heng looked around and said, "Regarding the request for assistance from the Sea Demon Clan, let's vote on whether to agree."

"If more than half of the votes are in favor, the request will be approved. Once the vote is approved, all members of the Swordholders will need to participate in the operation."

"As for the specific attack plan, we'll discuss it after the proposal is approved. If there are no questions, let's start the vote now."

After explaining the voting rules, Lu Heng did not immediately raise his hand, but instead looked around to see what others thought.

Currently, the Swordholder Alliance comprises seven civilizations: humans, elves, sirens, dark iron dwarves, Bancels, the Astral Merchant Civilization, and the Sykes Civilization.

Some civilizations have multiple Swordholders, but each civilization only has one vote.

From a fairness perspective, voting is indeed a more appropriate method when making a decision on a proposal.

The leaders of the various civilizations present were also observing each other and considering the feasibility of this attack plan.

Each member of the Swordholders here represents their own civilization.

The very meaning of wielding the sword is to wield the sword for one's own civilization, and when making a vote, one will naturally put the interests of one's own civilization first.

Of course, the swordsmen came together based on the principle of mutual help and support.

Therefore, without harming one's own civilization, it is necessary to help other civilizations as much as possible.

If one day, no one wants to help the allied civilizations anymore, then the Swordholder Alliance will be dead in name only.

Lu Heng wasn't in a hurry to urge everyone to vote, after all, it was a cross-world attack plan with many unstable factors.

After a few minutes of consideration, Sorelville Copper Furnace was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

The reason he was the first to vote in favor was quite simple.

Because the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom and the Siren both live in the Dragonslumber world, and the Blackscale Demons also inhabit the Tidal Sea of ​​the Dragonslumber world.

Although separated by the ocean, the Blackscale Demons can go ashore.

Therefore, there will be localized conflicts between the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Blackscale Demons, but the conflicts are not intense, and the Dark Iron Dwarves do not want to go to the sea to attack the Blackscale Demons.

However, if the Sirens take the lead, the Dark Iron Dwarves only need to contribute a portion of their efforts to eliminate the Blackscale Demons once and for all, which would be advantageous for the Dark Iron Dwarves.

Therefore, Sorelwell Copper Furnace was the first to agree to the proposal.

Sona looked around and emphasized, "For this attack plan, our Siren Clan only requests to take the Bodi Sea; all other spoils belong to all participants."

Within the Swordholder Alliance, the Bancel tribe is the weakest.

Mia basically follows Lu Heng's lead and has been observing Lu Heng's attitude.

Another few minutes passed.

Lu Heng raised his hand and said, "I vote in favor. We successfully destroyed the Shadow Demon. This time, we can try to destroy the Blackscale Demon as well."

"Besides that, there is a Black Bone Blue Cave near the Bodi Sea, which is the hiding place of the Skeleton Lord. We haven't had a chance to investigate it thoroughly before, so we can take advantage of this operation to see if there is anything special about it."

A few years ago, the Skeleton Lord nearly conquered the Elven capital.

Queen Aureanna, having heard that the Skeleton Lord had once hidden in the heart of the Blackscale Demons, became interested and raised her hand, saying, "I also vote in favor. Furthermore, if we obtain materials for the demigod ritual, I hope they can be allocated to us first."

Her desire to obtain the demigod materials was naturally for Tyrese's sake.

Tyrese was already the strongest among the elves below the demigods a long time ago. The reason he hadn't been promoted to demigod was because he wanted to give her the materials for demigods.

Therefore, if they can obtain demigod materials, the Elven race has a chance to produce another demigod.

Mia noticed that Lu Heng had raised his hand, and after the Elf Queen finished speaking, she quickly raised her hand as well: "I also vote in favor. Our Bansel tribe can't provide much assistance, but we will definitely do our best."

The Bansel people are always very humble and polite in their daily interactions.

Moreover, most races would like to encounter such a polite group of dwarfs.

Even the fierce sirens become more benign when facing the Bancels.

Therefore, no one cared that the Banser warriors were weak; as long as they could trust each other, that was the greatest help.

Since the request to attack the Blackscale Demon's heartland was made by the Siren Clan, the Siren Clan cannot vote; they can only look at the votes of the other Swordholders.

Lu Heng, Queen Orianna, Soreville Bronze Furnace, and Mia together have already received four votes, which is more than half.

Therefore, this proposal has been passed.

However, the vote will continue until the end, and every member of the Swordholder has the right to express their opinions. Even if they cannot change the final result, they cannot be deprived of their right.

Azik pondered for a moment and said, "I approve of this operation, but I have one small request."

"We are gathering materials for demigod weapons, so I hope that in this operation, I can get priority access to the demigod weapon forging materials from the loot."

"Furthermore, the Copper Furnace Kingdom helped us forge this demigod weapon."

Soreville Copper Furnace readily agreed: "Sure, no problem, and there will be no forging fee."

In the past, forging demigod weapons was extremely costly for the Dark Iron dwarves, especially in terms of energy.

Things are different now. With nuclear energy powering the forging furnaces, the difficulty of obtaining energy has been greatly reduced, and the Dark Iron Dwarves no longer need to worry about energy.

After Azik made this request, no one objected, which was considered an agreement to his request.

In the end, only Xavier Matrix remained.

Xavier's matrix is ​​a computer science approach; everything is based solely on the computational results.

He voted last because the votes of others would influence the outcome of the battle.

If only half of the people vote in favor and the other half vote against, it means that the portion who voted against is not very willing to participate in the war, which will naturally affect combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Xavier Matrix waited until everyone had voted before calculating the final result, and then spoke:
"I support this attack proposal. I also have another request: I hope to build a base in the tidal sea to conduct marine research."

Sona considered for a moment and replied, "This request requires further discussion of the details. I can agree to it for now, but whether I agree or not needs to be discussed in detail."

The Tidal Sea is the territory of the Siren Clan, and allowing nanobots to build a base there could potentially damage the marine environment, so she cannot agree to it immediately.

Xavier Matrix did not ask her to agree immediately, but instead agreed, saying, "Okay, we'll discuss the details later."

The meeting concluded, and the decision to attack the heart of the Blackscale Demon territory was finalized. The next step was to plan the attack.

First, Xavier Matrix dispatches reconnaissance robots to collect data on the Blackscale Demon territory. After calculation and analysis, an attack plan is formulated, and the timing of the operation is determined.

...Xavier Matrix was very efficient; the nano-reconnaissance robots collected all the data in just seven days after entering the Tidal Sea.

The calculation and analysis process is carried out simultaneously; the analysis results are available at the same time as the data collection is completed.

The data results were transmitted to the members of the Swordholder Alliance, after which Lu Heng determined the attack time to be seven days later, in early July of the fourth year of the Abyss Era.

Lu Heng traveled to the Tidal Sea seven days in advance to meet with Sona, and then met with the other elders of the Siren Clan.

Afterwards, Lu Heng opened the stargate and then teleported Xavier Technology's nanobots.

Xavier Matrix's nanobots had already begun initial deployment during reconnaissance, so the deployment of these nanobots was very rapid after they arrived.

The nanorobots had already explored the mineral deposits of the Dragon's Rest world, so they knew where the needed mineral materials were located.

This also includes nuclear energy raw materials.

The forges in the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom require nuclear energy, and the nanobot factories have long been purifying fusion materials.

Therefore, this time Lu Heng doesn't need to transport nuclear materials from Blue Star; they can be obtained directly in the Dragon Sleep World, or even extracted directly from seawater.

Therefore, the fusion raw materials used this time can be used without restriction.

Once everything was in place, Lu Heng began teleporting the Elven and Bancel warriors over.

The Dark Iron Dwarves are already in the Dragonslumber world, so they don't need to teleport.

Azik's Astral Merchant Warriors entered the Dragon's Rest World directly in their Astral Merchant Ships, without needing to teleport.

The day before the attack was scheduled to begin, the sword-wielding teams of the seven civilizations assembled.

The campaign to attack the Blackscale Demons has officially begun.

On the first day of the battle, a storm swept through the Tidal Sea.

Lu Heng stood on an island in the Tidal Sea, looking at the dark clouds and lightning-streaked sky, and frowned: "What a coincidence that a storm is coming at this time."

Under normal circumstances, the Sirens are very familiar with the environment of the Tidal Sea and should not choose a time with storms to launch an attack.

Sona stood to one side, slapping the water on the beach with her tail, sensing the changes in the environment.

She also looked puzzled and said, "I also find it strange. In previous years, the Tidal Sea was very calm at this time of year. For more than a hundred years, there have been no storms during this season."

"That's strange. Has something happened?" Lu Heng asked, puzzled.

“Serian has already set off with a team of priests to investigate the cause. Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen.” Sona was also somewhat worried.

This battle is a joint operation of seven civilizations, with warriors from each civilization coming from across the world to assist in the fight.

These sword-wielding teams that came to participate in the battle could not stay in the Tidal Sea for long, so this battle was inevitable.

Even if a storm occurs, the attack must be launched on time.

"Let's go back to the temple first and continue the war meeting. The attack plan remains unchanged. If anything unexpected happens, we'll make other plans." With that, Lu Heng jumped into the sea and returned to the Vashj Temple.

Inside the Vashj Temple.

Sona, holding the scepter of the sea god, released a wondrous pattern made of seawater, somewhat resembling a hologram.

The ocean images showcase a magical sand table of the Bodi Sea, with every detail marked.

Sona, after adjusting the battle plan provided by Xavier Matrix, proposed a plan to launch a cooperative attack on the Blackscale Demons.

After the plan was explained, Serian returned and said that she had not found any secrets hidden in the storm and believed that the attack plan could continue.

The battle has officially begun.

The first target of the attack was the Blackscale Nest, a coral city occupied by the Blackscale Demons. It was once a city used by the Siren Clan to cultivate coral polyps, but it has now been transformed into the Blackscale Nest.

Serian was in charge of leading the Siren warriors in a frontal attack.

Queen Alleanna dispatched a squad of elven druids to clean up the pollution in the waters surrounding the Coral Sea.

Because the Blackscale Demon causes severe environmental pollution, any creatures entering the polluted waters are at risk of mutation if the pollution is not cleaned up.

The Dark Iron Dwarves, in conjunction with the nanobots, prepared the nuclear bombs needed for the attack, to destroy the demons' reef defenses.

The first phase of the attack was successful, but the storm grew increasingly violent, making the underwater environment extremely harsh.

Apart from the sea monsters and human marine teams, it is difficult for other civilizations' teams to persist underwater.

Therefore, after achieving initial success, the seven teams temporarily retreated to rest and regroup.

The seventh day has arrived.

The storm grew increasingly violent, as if it would turn the entire tidal sea upside down.

This storm has evolved to such an extent that it cannot be an ordinary storm; there must be some reason behind it.

Sure enough, on the tenth day...

While they were besieging the Blackscale Demons in the outer seas, the Swordholder Alliance encountered a surprise attack from the Bloodline Clan.

The Tidal Sea was not inhabited by the Bloodline Clan, so the appearance of a large-scale Bloodline Clan is clearly abnormal.

Liu Haiyang captured a bloodline demon and, after mentally interrogating it, obtained several important pieces of information.

First, the Bloodline race was recruited from the Abyss.

That's right, the Bodi Sea has become a battlefield in the abyss.

But strangely, no Allied recruits appeared.

In other words, the Abyss Battlefield that has appeared now is a battlefield that belongs only to the Abyss faction.

This is a possibility.

When humans are conscripted and enter the Abyss Battlefield, there is no guarantee that Abyss Conscripts will appear.

This situation is a battlefield in the abyss that belongs only to humans, and only one civilization's superpowered warriors have been recruited.

Conversely, there may also be an Abyss Battlefield that belongs only to the Abyss faction.

After the leaders of the Swordholder Alliance sat down to discuss the matter, they basically analyzed the reasons.

The Abyss summoned Bloodline Demons to help the Blackscale Demons defend against the attack, but there was no summons from the Allied faction.

This means that, from the perspective of the will to summon, the current situation in the Blackscale Demon Sea is that the Siren Clan has the upper hand, and there is no need to initiate a conscription.

Of course, this was not because the Siren Clan was strong, but because the Siren Clan had invited six allied civilizations to help them in the battle.

Lu Heng and Queen Oriana are both demigods, which means there are now three demigods in the Siren Clan.

This strength has already given them an overwhelming advantage over the Blackscale Demon.

After understanding this, Lu Heng looked again at the eye of the storm, where lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a possibility came to mind. (End of Chapter)
