Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Chapter 170: Lein's plan and the alliance

On the other side, the handsome man remained, locking his gaze on Vladimir Nova, who was still seated casually, sipping his beer as if nothing was happening.

"Your confidence is quite extraordinary," said the handsome man with a smile, his eyes sharp and filled with curiosity.

Nova only gave a faint smile, placing his beer bottle on the table unhurriedly. "It's not about confidence. I just know who I can bring down and who's worth my attention."

The handsome man chuckled softly. "Haha… you're truly intriguing. Not many lower races can stand so calmly in front of me. But let's see how far your conviction holds."

Nova raised his hand slightly, signaling to his subordinates. "You all, go. Guard the other areas and leave this one to me." His voice was calm, yet his command was instantly understood.

His subordinates, consisting of elite warriors, immediately moved, activating their powers. Their energy surged into the air, and they swiftly spread out, intercepting every approaching creature, ready to fight to the death.

Now, the two men stood facing each other. Their auras of confidence were unshakable, and the atmosphere around them seemed to freeze for a moment, anticipating the great clash that was about to unfold.

The current situation on Lein Island is no less chaotic, not due to destruction, but because of the continuous sound of cannon fire that never ceases. Right now, a dozen main Teleportation Hubs are shielded by protective arrays created by cultivators.

These arrays can isolate an area within a radius of several meters with considerable strength. Every time someone steps out of a portal, a black lightning immediately strikes and kills them on the spot.

Several soldiers are currently on standby outside the protective array, ready in case the black lightning towers fail to kill in one strike. Not only the soldiers, but many hunters are also prepared to fight to the death.

Lein Island is on high alert, but its defenses are so solid that they are impenetrable to the foreign enemies that keep emerging from the portal. The main Teleportation Hubs are tightly sealed by protective arrays designed by the finest cultivators, enveloping the area with a layer of energy capable of withstanding attacks across a wide radius.

Each time an enemy appears, in the blink of an eye, the black lightning from the defense towers activates with extraordinary power, striking them without mercy. The enemies have no time to react—they appear for a second, then vanish into ashes, leaving no trace behind. The power of the black lightning towers is so ferocious that no enemy attack has been able to break through Lein's defenses.

"Amazing... look at that lightning tower strike! So powerful, nothing remains of them," a hunter said in awe, his hand patting the large shield hanging on his back. His voice echoed among the troops on guard, their eyes witnessing the relentless might of the tower.

"Nothing can get past this," muttered another hunter, his eyes filled with admiration.

Despite the emergency situation, Lein Island's efficiency in handling the threat is extraordinary. Within minutes, all civilians had been evacuated to underground shelters, fortified with high-level defensive arrays. These shelters are not just ordinary protection spaces but hidden fortresses with multiple layers of defense capable of withstanding even the most powerful enemy attacks.

The soldiers and hunters standing guard outside the array remain vigilant, though the lightning towers have so far always succeeded in destroying the enemies in one blow. They are prepared, knowing that if anything escapes the lightning strikes, it will be their turn to confront the enemy directly. However, so far, no creature has managed to breach Lein's defenses.

While chaos rages outside, the World Market Trade Alliance is holding an important meeting, discussing further plans to deal with the alien creatures.

The grand meeting room of the World Market Trade Alliance exudes an atmosphere of grandeur and unparalleled beauty. Its walls are adorned with large paintings depicting the history of the alliance, epic battles, and symbols of prosperity. Marble statues stand proudly in the corners of the room, representing legendary figures who contributed to building this trading world.

Modern neon lights hang above the long conference table, emitting a soft glow that creates an elegant and professional ambiance.

Lein stood at the head of the table, exuding a relaxed yet positive aura. Nita, beside him, calmly observed the tablet in her hand, her eyes focused. The ten core members of the alliance sat on either side of the table, their faces serious yet calm, reflecting their vigilance in the face of the ongoing threat outside.

Lein opened the meeting with a firm and charismatic voice. "Good morning, everyone... thank you for taking the time to be here amidst this urgent situation."

For a moment, Lein paused, looking at each member in the room, ensuring they were all paying attention. "We all know that the alien attacks are ongoing. Our Teleportation Hubs are still under siege, and although Lein Island's defenses have not been breached, we cannot ignore this situation. We need to act faster and more effectively."

After pausing for a moment, Lein continued, "After the natural protection was removed, other realms could enter our realm with ease. Currently, a special team is investigating the realm's edge, ensuring no intruders are heading toward the divine sky realm fully prepared."

Lein went on to briefly explain the current situation. All the portals above the island could be accessed by the alien creatures. As far as they knew, portals could only connect if they had identified each other. One portal could not enter another's endpoint without a mark.

Currently, the leaders of the human alliance are speculating that the alien race must be using some special trick to forcibly connect the portals. Even more impressively, even after the portal above the divine sky realm was destroyed, another portal appeared in the same place. Thus, people could not destroy the portals to avoid attacks from the alien race.
