The capital of Lantisde, Ivo City, was surrounded by a circle of metallic balls, just as if it was wearing a necklace.
Apart from a few strongholds, all the merfolk had retreated into Ivo City as they awaited the attack from the most intense Nether Whirlwinds ever.
However, this time, Lantisde was no longer defending passively. Instead, they were proactively on the offense.
At the northwestern border, at a location near to the cursed seal. A merman gazed at the huge swirl of yellow sand afar, and let out a shrill warning conch horn.
A squad of 100 mermen wearing bright clothes went up to provoke the opponent, and successfully pissed off the first group of Nether Sharks. They began to lead the 100-odd Nether Sharks into a mad rush mode.
The chase didn't go on for long. The merfolk disappeared entirely after they dashed into a narrow canyon, and the 100-odd Nether Sharks also dashed in after them.
