CHAPTER 449: CHAPTER 438 GALIA CITY

Galia City, a city built in the depths of the seabed, is one of the many cities of the Sea Race.

The entire area of Galia City spans tens of thousands of square kilometers, inhabited by millions of Sea Race members, of which the Tide Race accounts for 10% of the city’s total population, while the remaining 90% are made up of the Fishman Race.

However, despite this, it is still the 10% Tide Race that governs and rules the city.

Galia City can be considered one of the larger cities among the Sea Race.

Although Galia City is built in the depths of the ocean, the entire city remains brightly lit, as if it were broad daylight.

This is because unique Crystal Stones of the Sea Race are installed in every corner of the city, and after processing, they can emit a strong white light for an extended period.

The architectural style of the Sea Race is noticeably distinct from that of land races, with every building clearly bearing the unique characteristics of the Sea Race, giving one a refreshing sensation.

Above Galia City, there is a transparent protective Barrier. It not only reduces the immense pressure of the deep sea and isolates the seawater but also provides some protection.

Throughout the entire city, one can clearly see the diverse appearances of the Sea Race mingling in the city, creating a scene of bustling vibrancy:

There are vendors shouting loudly, selling all sorts of strange and exotic items or delicacies;

Groups of three to five Sea Race members, chatting passionately with each other, speaking without reservation;

For them, this is the World where their ancestors have lived for generations.

The Sea Race lives in the sea, rarely interacting with the outside world.

Plus, with the ocean’s abundant resources, they always live a life of self-sufficiency, at peace with the world.

However, on this day, the peace that belonged to Galia City was ultimately broken due to the arrival of a group of humans...

In the sky above Galia City, a Fishman holding a Trident hurriedly passed through the Barrier with a terrified expression.

A patrol team of Fishmen happened to witness this scene.

The captain of the Fishman squad loudly teased the panic-stricken Fishman:

"Amos, weren’t you patrolling the open sea today? Did Captain Karachi scold you again?"

In this isolated ocean, teasing among Fishmen is a source of amusement for them.

Perhaps due to their long-standing habit of this peaceful life.

So in that moment, upon seeing the panicked Fishman Amos, the patrol team instinctively seized the opportunity to join in the teasing:

"I bet Amos is pretending to be unwell just to sneak off and laze around."

"Looks like it to me too, hahaha~"

"Lord Aga is dueling that big guy today, Amos, did you lie to go watch that?"

...

However, Amos, the Fishman, had no interest in listening to his companions’ jokes and simply shouted, "Something big has happened!"

He then shot away towards Galia City like an arrow loosed from a bow.

The Fishman patrol team, who had just been joking moments before, were suddenly left standing in stunned silence as they watched Amos disappear.

One Fishman uncertainly asked, "What did Amos just say?"

"Something happened?"

"What happened?"

The whole patrol team stood there puzzled, not understanding what was going on.

It’s known that Galia City has a history of thousands of years since its establishment.

In these thousands of years, crises have been few and far between.

But the look on that Fishman named Amos did not seem fake, prompting the octopus-like patrol leader to say, "Could it be something really happened?"

Meanwhile, Fishman Amos had already rushed to the grand and lavish palace gates of Galia City, exclaiming anxiously, "Something terrible has happened, I need to see the City Lord."

At this moment, two armored Fishman Guards blocked his way, saying, "Hold it!"

"What are you doing, little fishman?"

One of the Fishman Guards said, "I recognize you."

"Weren’t you patrolling the open sea with Captain Karachi?"

Fishman Amos urgently said, "Something big has happened!"

"I have urgent matters to see the City Lord, please pass on the message, or it will be too late."

"Hurry up."

Upon hearing this, the two Fishman Guards, their tightly knit features showing a troubled expression, said, "The City Lord is discussing important matters with other dignitaries. Tell us what’s happening first, and we will decide whether to inform him."

Amos was so anxious that he stamped his foot and said, "Lord Karachi was captured by some unknown humans. If we’re late, I fear for Lord Karachi’s life."

Upon hearing this, the two Fishman Guards were utterly shocked:

"What?"

"Who dares to lay hands on Lord Karachi in our Galia City, damn it."

It’s known that the Tide Race holds a very high status among the Sea Race, even if it’s just a small Guard Captain.

"Quickly inform the City Lord, what are you still waiting for?"

The Fishman Guard who had spoken earlier immediately turned and rushed into the palace, saying, "I’ll go inform the City Lord now."

...

Meanwhile, in a splendid hall, a man in a blue robe was discussing with a dozen Tide Race members below.

This man in the blue robe was the City Lord of Galia City: Harrison Lv62.

Though Harrison looks human, his body is smooth and scaleless, but he is a genuine member of the Tide Race of the Sea Race.

This fact can be seen from his pointed ears.

At this moment, Harrison’s face was filled with a helpless expression, saying, "The energy needed for the Sea God Barrier is estimated to last only about ten more years. Do you have any ideas?"

Below, a Tide Race member was shocked, saying, "So soon?"

Then his face showed dissatisfaction, saying, "If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t be consuming our resources so quickly."

The other Tide Race members echoed along:

"Indeed!"

"At the beginning, we only agreed to shelter their people for 100 years, but the time kept extending, and now it’s almost a thousand years!"

"For their sake, we have to maintain the Barrier all along. What city can withstand such consumption!"

"These land races are truly untrustworthy!"

"Although it was because of them that we managed to fend off the Naga attacks back then, over the years, we’ve done the utmost for them, haven’t we?"

"Besides, I think after so many years, that person is likely doomed."

The Tide Race member said, "What do you think, City Lord?"

Harrison, sitting in the chief position, furrowed his brow, saying, "Send another team to the Ghostly Realm, as long as we can find their Clan Leader or retrieve his token, I will consider fulfilling my promise to him back then."

"After that, his people’s affairs are no longer our concern."

Then Harrison looked at a few high-ranking Tide Race members below:

"This time, who will go?"

The few people instinctively stepped back, showing a look of fright on their faces.

Just then, the tightly shut palace doors were pushed open by that Fishman Guard. Before Harrison could get angry, the Fishman Guard anxiously said, "City Lord, something bad has happened, Lord Karachi has been captured by humans!"
