This architectural style was specifically designed to face the Sea Tribe and withstand tsunamis.
Through Orion's gaze, magical runes began to glow on the tower-like structures, with defensive shields and water barriers emerging.
After Jorik's dragon roar, Whitecliff City seemed to activate, quickly entering a state of battle.
Orion withdrew his gaze as two suddenly appearing Legendary-level powerhouses approached nearby, standing by Jorik.
These two Legendary-level powerhouses were one half-dragon and one dragon beast.
"Are they the subordinates of Arch Lord White Dragon Frostsire?"
Lireesa shared the same thought as Orion.
As for Dain and Richard, they had encountered these two Legendary-level powerhouses in the Eastern and Central War Zones during the North-South War.
"Gentlemen, as you can see, the Slark Mermen from the sea are attempting to invade our lands."
"Besides our dragon territory being close to the sea, your territories also have some areas near the ocean."
"By forming an alliance of the five races, we should drive them back together."
Hearing Jorik's words, Orion, Lireesa, Dain, and Richard all furrowed their brows, deep in thought.
Orion glanced at the Glacial Dragon. The huge dragon head was filled with ferocity, making it hard to read any other expression.
"Are the Sea Tribe invading because of the dragon race, or are they just targeting the land?"
This question suddenly appeared in Orion's mind.
However, before Orion could fully think it through, someone in the group spoke up first.
"Since our five races have already formed an alliance, I, representing the Human Kingdom, am willing to join the dragons in driving the Sea Tribe off our lands."
Orion, Lireesa, and Dain all looked up, surprised at Grand Duke Richard's swift decision.
What's his angle for taking a side so quickly?
Orion looked toward Lireesa and Dain, and their gazes met with his.
As the three exchanged looks, Grand Duke Richard continued.
"The Human Kingdom also has territories near the sea, so the Sea Tribe is our common enemy."
After Grand Duke Richard finished speaking, his intense gaze fixed on Orion and the others.
Meanwhile, Jorik, the half-dragon, and the dragon beast standing ahead turned to look at Orion's group.
Four intense gazes were now upon them, creating pressure and subtly forcing the trio into a corner.
"Our Blood Elves also have territories near the sea, and we are willing to resist the Sea Tribe together with everyone."
The first to speak was Grand Elder Lireesa, as the Blood Elf race controlled a vast territory close to the sea.
Her reasoning was simple: by joining the resistance now, when the Sea Tribe invaded Blood Elf territory, she could pull the dragon and human races into the fight together.
"We dwarves are also willing to join!"
After the Dwarven Prophet Dain spoke, Orion chuckled.
"Then let's all join forces to resist the Sea Tribe invasion!"
Orion sighed inwardly, feeling that ever since entering the dragon's territory, everything had become very passive for him.
After hearing everyone's stance, Jorik was in a good mood, roaring loudly with his deep voice.
"Once we've driven off the Sea Tribe, our dragon race will offer forty spots in Dragon Nest. Each faction can recommend ten of their own to enter Dragon Nest for the baptism."
"All the spoils from the Sea Tribe's invasion will also be shared equally among everyone." Enjoy new adventures from
The promise of benefits and rewards was a powerful motivator for any intelligent race.
Clearly, Jorik understood this, so he offered precious spots and the post-battle loot.
Orion, Lireesa, Dain, and Richard all nodded. Since they had decided to act together, there was a price to be paid.
"I sense five strong, unfamiliar auras!"
As the tsunami approached, Orion finally detected five unfamiliar, threatening presences amidst the crashing waves.
Earlier, Orion couldn't sense them due to the ocean's cover, and the Sea Tribe had their own secret techniques to hide in deep waters, making them hard to detect.
Lireesa, Jorik, Dain, Richard, the half-dragon, and the dragon beast all turned to look at Orion, their expressions filled with uncertainty.
"Lord Orion, are you sure it's the aura of five Legendary-level powerhouses?"
Orion nodded confidently.
Lireesa, Jorik, and the others frowned. They had only sensed four Legendary-level auras.
The group concentrated, pouring transcendent power into their senses, but still only detected four.
Just as Lireesa was about to ask, it was too late.
Above the surging waves, five giant whales, each around three hundred meters long, leaped from the water, forming a triangular formation with one in the front and four behind. They charged at the seven airborne figures.
"It's the Reverse Whale Clan!"
The Reverse Whale Clan was a branch of the Slark Mermen, one of the more powerful factions of the Sea Tribe.
The one who exclaimed was the Legendary-level dragon beast that had emerged from the Dragon Nest.
This dragon beast, sealed in the far North alongside the white dragon Frostsire, was an existence that had lived for over ten thousand years.
"Let's strike together and slay them!"
Jorik roared, leading the charge.
Orion, armed with a trident, followed him into battle.
Facing the Sea Tribe for the first time, and witnessing such a massive tsunami, Orion felt exhilarated.
Perhaps it was the battle instincts ingrained in his giant bloodline, but he felt an intense excitement at the prospect of this life-or-death battle.
Zing!
A series of electrified tridents shot out, Orion acting before Jorik and the others.
Splash!
The leading Reverse Whale opened its massive mouth, releasing a spray of water.
The water exploded, forming five blue water curtains that enveloped all five whales.
At the same time, the other four Reverse Whales also opened their mouths, spewing water that coalesced into thick water guns, spinning and shooting forward.
The water guns and tridents collided, creating waves of mist.
The transcendent power wrapped around the tridents seemed to dissolve, losing their strength and falling toward the ground.
From this single strike, Orion realized that these massive whales were not to be trifled with.
The clash between the tridents and water guns sent mist scattering everywhere.
Above in the sky, below to the ground, the scene turned white in an instant, the water mist swirling, and the five Reverse Whales vanished from sight.
However, at that moment, Lireesa, Jorik, and the others also launched their attacks.
Lireesa raised her staff, and a vine grew out from it.
The vine grew larger, twisting and tangling together, eventually forming a giant hollow serpent that rushed toward the leading Reverse Whale in the mist.
