Dwarf King Sorreville Copper Furnace and Great Wizard Hogrey relied on flying witchcraft to cross vast areas of sea, enabling them to reach the battlefield so quickly.
This does not mean that the Black Iron Dwarfs only sent these two to participate in the battle.
This battle to stop Flame Demon Gros is not so urgent for the Recruiter or the Sea Demon Clan.
For the Black Iron Dwarfs, it's a fight that determines the fate of their tribe.
Therefore, the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom has more elite warriors on their way to the Tidal Sea.
As the battle continues, more reinforcements from the Black Iron Dwarves arrive.
A team composed of hundreds of Dwarf Wizards and thousands of Dwarf Warriors, manning five warships, joins the battle, striving to delay Flame Demon Gros's landing as much as possible.
Even so, Flame Demon Gros still moves at a pace of fifty kilometers per hour towards the West Coast.
In the ocean, both its mobility and flame abilities are greatly restricted.
Once it lands, the power of its flames will increase exponentially, making it difficult for either the Black Iron Dwarfs or the Sea Demon Clan to stop its actions.
The Black Iron Dwarfs know this very well and are blocking Flame Demon Gros almost at the cost of their lives.
For this reason, two warships have already sunk.
However, the reinforcements sent by the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom are all elite warriors, with high levels, so they possess the ability to operate on the sea's surface.
A team of over a thousand, using weapons, witchcraft, magic, and other means, continuously bombards Flame Demon Gros.
Flame Demon Gros does not fully fight back because it understands that being dragged in the ocean prevents it from showcasing its advantages.
Thus, it only attacks targets that come close while focusing more on movement.
Even so, its pace was forcefully suppressed to below 50 kilometers per hour.
Moreover, during this process, many fragments were knocked off from Flame Demon Gros during attacks, all falling into the sea like soot.
After the reinforcement from the Black Iron Dwarves arrived, the Black Scale Demon troops in the Tidal Sea also resisted.
Led by the Shadow Demon, the Black Scale Demons concentrated their attacks on the Black Iron Dwarves' ships.
In less than half an hour, another Black Iron Dwarf warship sank.
The battle becomes increasingly fierce.
From the moment Flame Demon Gros broke out of the seal, an hour and a half had passed.
Sarian took away the [Heart of the Tides] nearly two hours ago, and so far, there is no news of Sarian rescuing High Priestess Sona.
Jiang Shaoran, according to instructions, has been maintaining contact with the tide-calling elder Sarian of the Sea Demon Clan.
Upon Lu Heng's inquiry, she reported: "Sarian has been entangled by the Shadow Demon, according to the message received three minutes ago, she encountered human Recruiters. If the Recruiters can help her hold off the Shadow Demon, she should soon return to the Vasqi Temple."
As Jiang Shaoran reported, in the sea three hundred kilometers away.
Sarian, riding a jellyfish, charges left and right, trying to break out from the Shadow Demon's encirclement, but is intercepted by three Shadow Demons, making it very difficult to break through.
At this moment, she encountered a team of human Recruiters.
Sarian actively requests for help: "Help me hold off the Shadow Demons, and before you return, I will apply to the High Priestess to gift you treasures."
The team of human Recruiters that appeared was, unexpectedly, the team of Gilbert Ocam, the Chief Knight of the Lion Heart Empire.
When Gilbert Ocam heard Sarian's words, he was somewhat tempted.
Normally, Recruiters completing tasks only receive Divine Energy as a reward and seldom obtain treasures from the recruited world.
Now, with an elder of the Sea Demon Clan voluntarily offering rewards, how could such an opportunity be missed?
Just when Gilbert Ocam was about to help, the Perceiver behind him reminded, "Captain, she has a gemstone with a strong energy wave. I saw it on the Sea Demon Clan High Priestess's scepter before; it should be the [Heart of the Tides]."
Upon hearing this, the members of the team developed different thoughts.
Can the treasures gifted by the Sea Demon Clan compare to the [Heart of the Tides]?
The [Heart of the Tides] is a gemstone on the Sea God's Scepter, a treasure formed from the Sea God's Power.
Any treasures the Sea Demon Clan can gift to the Recruiters are hardly worth mentioning compared to the [Heart of the Tides].
Gilbert Ocam's eyes flashed with cunning, immediately changing his mind.
The Firepower behind him said softly, "Captain, why don't we seize the [Heart of the Tides]? It's way more valuable than the trash they'd gift us."
"Exactly, let's just take it." The team's opinion was uniform.
However, Gilbert Ocam raised his hand to stop the teammates' suggestion and said sternly, "Stop talking, I'm not going to use such a lowly means as robbery."
Having said that, he then swims forward and agrees, "We are here to help. You are going to rescue the High Priestess, right? Give me the gemstone, I'll help deliver it to the Temple. Rest assured, I am faster in the water than the jellyfish you're riding."
When Sarian heard this, she immediately took out the [Heart of the Tides], ready to throw it over.
She had received this Sea God Gem from Lu Heng.
Taking it from a human and handing it to another human to help deliver to the temple for the rescue of the High Priestess.
The logic is quite reasonable.
However, just as she was about to let go and throw the [Heart of the Tides], she noticed a hint of a smile at the corner of Gilbert Ocam's mouth.
She perceptively felt something was off about that smile, narrowed her eyes, and pulled the [Heart of the Tides] back, saying, "I'll still deliver it to the temple myself. You just need to help me hold off the Shadow Demons behind."
