Time passed little by little, and the night became darker and darker. Melissa stood on the deck and felt a little cold.
Sima Xiao's leisurely appearance always makes people have the urge to go up and punch him.
He chatted with Franks all the time, and it was obvious that this young man named Sima Xiao was very relaxed and confident. After just listening for a while, the discomfort on Melissa's face disappeared and was replaced by a look of admiration.
color.
Melissa is not a rich young lady who has never seen the world. Although she is young and immature in many aspects, she works hard to participate in the management of the chamber of commerce. She has richer experience than her peers, which gives her good judgment and can generally distinguish
Show the opponent's level.
This guy always unknowingly becomes the leader in the chat.
His lazy tone always hits the mark and points directly to the crux of the problem. A few casual sentences can make people's eyes light up. If you think about it carefully, you will feel that it is meaningful and has a lot to do.
Whether it's a pretense or a real thing, you can tell from the respect on Grandpa Franks' face.
"Do you have any suggestions for the future of our association?" Franks couldn't help but ask, with a pleading look on his face.
Melissa was stunned, her face was full of shock. She did not expect that her grandfather would ask Sima Xiao for advice on such a big problem.
The operating conditions of the Macefield Chamber of Commerce are not very good and are deteriorating. Although everyone tries hard, little results are achieved. This dilapidated carriage is slowly but surely sliding into the abyss. In the past ten years, the Chamber of Commerce's profits have increased every year.
It is declining, and last year, the Chamber of Commerce suffered a loss for the first time.
A large number of shopkeepers left the Chamber of Commerce and looked for other opportunities, making the Chamber of Commerce even weaker.
Her eyes moved involuntarily to Sima's smiling face, and she felt that the fair boy in front of her was not much older than her, so how could he be so powerful? Grandpa was the person she trusted the most. If he hadn't been there, he could barely stabilize the situation.
I am afraid that the Chamber of Commerce will collapse long ago.
Sima Xiao chuckled, stretched out, and said lazily: "What good can I do?"
Melissa almost thought her ears had heard it wrong, and immediately she became angry. This person was really rude.
Franks was also stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had met such a direct person. But after all, he had been immersed in the shopping mall for many years, and he was no more sophisticated and broad-minded than ordinary people. He said cautiously: "If you have any needs, please feel free to ask for the price."
Sima Xiao heard the caution in the other party's tone, and he laughed it off.
He was not surprised at all. He could easily believe a random person he met on the road, and he would have been devoured to the bone. However, he did not mean to give it away for free. The Scorpio King's ideas were so easy to get.
?
Suddenly, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in front, and the dark night sky was illuminated as bright as day. It seemed that the next moment, the sun would jump out from the horizon.
Sima Xiao stood up and stared into the distance.
At some point, Magatama appeared behind him, his beautiful eyes shining brightly.
What a powerful wave!
Sima Xiao's expression was solemn. Even from such a distance, he could still feel the extremely strong energy fluctuations. You can imagine how earth-shattering the blow just now was. Magatama appeared automatically, so he must have sensed this fluctuation.
The seriousness on his face turned into a bitter smile. He was indeed a god-like young man. The power of this blow was even more powerful than before!
Unknowingly, this guy pushed them further and further away. It was such a terrible feeling. The pride he had felt just now disappeared without a trace, and the chestnut-haired boy felt bitter in his heart.
Before coming to the Holy Realm, Sima Xiao always put himself on the same level as Tang Tian. He had such capital and confidence. Scorpio is one of the twelve signs of the zodiac, and is one point stronger than Ursa Major. In terms of strength, with Magatama
How could Sima Xiao be afraid of Tang Tian?
However, from the sinful realm to the holy realm, the strength of the two people gradually increased. Even after returning to the holy realm, Magatama's strength was not only fully restored, but also stronger than before. However, Tang Tian's progress was even greater.
Strength is the basis of everything. This is a world where the strong are respected, and Sima Xiao knows this very well.
"Victory."
Staring into the distance, when the light in the distance dimmed and disappeared, returning to the night, Sima Xiao said lightly.
Franks and Melissa froze, their faces pale with shock. This...is this a victory?
They found it hard to believe that the Ratchet Corps was not a cannon fodder regiment. How could it be defeated so quickly? It was a regiment of five thousand men. How could two hundred men deal with five thousand men?
Their poor imaginations simply cannot imagine such a scene.
Jason's expression suddenly changed and he said urgently: "Get on the boat! Everyone get on the boat! Raise the protective shield! Quick!"
Everyone was a little confused, but they still returned to the ship one after another, and each transport ship raised its energy shield.
At this moment, suddenly, a soul-stirring strange howl came into everyone's ears. The howl sounded from low to high, as if it was approaching from a distance. Everyone's eyes widened, trying hard to see what it was.
, but it was pitch black ahead and nothing could be seen.
Jason's face was full of nervousness and he shouted: "Light bomb!"
White light clusters flew into the sky from the transport ship. The white light clusters continued to rise and their brightness continued to rise. The bright white light illuminated the surroundings clearly.
Everyone finally saw the scene in front of them clearly, and everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
On the distant horizon, a transparent white line magnified sharply in their field of vision. The howling in the air became more terrifying, and it also changed from the sharp before to a low and roaring sound.
After a while, everyone could see clearly.
It was a huge air wave with a length of more than 20 kilometers. It clung to the ground and flew towards this direction at an astonishing speed.
The air was distorted, and countless energy trickles in the air waves were like schools of fish chasing the waves, making this air wave even more powerful. Wherever it passed, the grass turned into powder, and sand and rocks flew. Its power is extremely amazing.
The turf was completely blown away, and deep radial marks were plowed out on the ground. Even hard rocks were shattered by sparks from the gravel in the air waves, but once they were touched by the energy trickle, they would instantly shatter.
.
Fire, thunder and lightning, and ice flickered in and out of the air waves. They were the brilliant light produced by the collision of energy with different attributes.
It feels like the end!
"Energy Storm!"
Melissa's face was pale, without a trace of blood. She suddenly understood that this was the energy storm caused by the dazzling light just now!
A simple storm will never have such terrifying power. Only extremely strong energy fluctuations can trigger such an energy storm. Even the energy in the air will violently agitate and resonate.
They were not given any time to think, and an instinctive roar suddenly appeared in front of the fleet.
boom!
Everyone felt their eyes darken, and the ship beneath their feet was shaking violently, almost unable to stand. Countless dazzling fires, thunder and lightning flickered outside the energy shield. They felt as if they were in the center of the storm, and the energy shield was constantly trembling.
The solid hull made a heart-wrenching sound, and unprecedented fear enveloped everyone.
The shrill screams pierced her membranes, the scene in front of her was suffocating, and Melissa's mind went blank.
I don't know how much time passed, maybe a few seconds, maybe a few minutes, the shuddering roar and the heart-stopping scream gradually faded away, and the swaying hull gradually calmed down.
Everyone slowly came to their senses.
The thumping sound is endless.
The guards sat down on the deck, their pale and bloodless faces covered with beads of sweat, their absent-minded pupils unfocused, they were panting hard, and their whole bodies were still shaking uncontrollably.
Jason was better. He didn't sit down, but held on to the guardrail with both hands. His face was also as pale as paper.
After a full two minutes, Jason slowly let go of his palms. His lowered palms were trembling slightly. He looked around in confusion.
The ground was in a mess, with deep radiating marks extending into the distance.
The entire fleet was forcibly pushed hundreds of meters away. They looked in disarray and their bodies were injured to varying degrees. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries.
Energy storm, this is energy storm, the legendary energy storm!
According to legend, only the top regiments who launch destructive attacks at all costs can form an energy storm.
They actually saw it with their own eyes.
Everyone is afraid and confused for the rest of their lives.
Yes, confused.
Even Jason himself was at a loss. They did not underestimate the strength of this bandit, but this energy storm completely changed their view of this regiment.
In the entire Guangming Continent, how many troops are there that are capable of causing energy storms?
No more than five!
Yes, they are the top five corps in Guangming Continent, the Five Tigers of Guangming!
A regiment of two hundred men was not inferior to the Five Tigers of Light. In such a comparison, whether it was Franks who was experienced and wise, Jason who was proficient in actual combat, or Melissa who was astute in thinking, they were all at a loss for a moment.
After the confusion, came shock, fear, and awe.
Then there is hope.
In this holy land where the corps dominates, in this world where strength is respected, in this world where the strong is king, is there any better opportunity than this?
In comparison, the difficulties encountered by the Macefield Chamber of Commerce are nothing at all. As long as we can grasp this ray of hope, all the difficulties of the Macefield Chamber of Commerce will disappear in an instant, and it will only have a brighter future.
No matter which side this corps belongs to, whether it is Guangmingzhou or not, it doesn't matter.
As long as it still exists, its majesty will be enough to frighten the world. Perhaps this regiment alone may not be able to conquer the world, but it is more than enough to protect a chamber of commerce, or even more.
Franks, who was extremely excited, knew that no matter what, he must not miss this opportunity. Masefield's situation could not allow him to continue to drag it out. If there was no change, it would only decline and perish step by step.
The only thing he is worried about now is how to gain the trust of the other party. Even this smiling Sima Xiao is definitely not someone to be coaxed. If there are no tangible benefits, he will never be able to impress the other party.
Perhaps, he needs a letter of nomination that is substantial enough.
