Ling Tian went on to explain, "The manuals for those 305mm cannons are very detailed. With just two people operating this type of cannon, it can be fired!
I specifically checked; the traverse angle of the cannon allows its muzzle to be aimed directly at Kuite Castle!
Isn't that Langge hiding in the castle and refusing to come out? Then I'll send him two shells! If two aren't enough, then a few more!"
Aurora was overjoyed to hear this.
"That's great, blowing him up would be fine!"
"Even if he's not killed and manages to escape, as long as he leaves the castle, we'll have plenty of opportunities to kill him!"
"Alright, Ling Tian, how exactly do you plan to do this, and when will we make our move?" Aurora asked expectantly.
"This is what I'm thinking..."
And so, this pair of man and woman spread out a map in the room and meticulously studied the cannon's operation manual.
...
Inside Kuite Castle, in Mario Kuite's spacious study, Langge once again met the world-renowned geologist Professor Hansen.
At this moment, Professor Hansen stood very respectfully opposite Langge, his expression one of deep deference.
Langge had no choice. Subduing someone completely with his subconscious was extremely draining, yet he still used such a precious opportunity on Professor Hansen.
The reason for doing so was the utterly vexing situation on Hell Paradise Island.
Although he had exposed their lies and eliminated the other two geologists, Hansen had outwardly expressed sincere submission to Langge. However, Langge knew very well that such people lacked integrity. If they were to scheme behind his back, his plans would be significantly impacted.
Therefore, Langge decided to use his special ability to implant his subconscious into Professor Hansen's mind, making him his loyal hound, diligently working for him.
"Lord Kuite, I have personally led people to inspect the Free Zone. The situation is not optimistic...
At the volcano, the amount of lava flowing out is 20% higher than the average level. This is mainly due to a huge fissure that has appeared at the base of the volcano, allowing the lava to spread far into the depths of the island..."
The fissure Professor Hansen mentioned was actually the cavern beneath the volcano. However, the massive ten-thousand-year-old Ice Soul that was originally in the cavern had now disappeared, causing the lava to flow directly through the cavern.
The more Langge listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. Professor Hansen continued, "According to our surveys, since the earthquake, the area of the volcanic region has expanded outwards by three square kilometers, and the area of the Forbidden Zone has also expanded. It won't be long before it encroaches upon the forest...
The expansion of the Forbidden Zone also carries the risk of very severe forest fires..."
Langge directly raised his hand, "I don't want to hear this. Just tell me directly, how much longer does Hell Paradise Island have!"
"Uh... If there are no other external stimuli, the volcano and lava will likely threaten the Order Zone in about five years.
But if there are a few more earthquakes of the same scale as those a few days ago, then perhaps the island will only have two to three years left..."
"Damn it, damn it... Get out of here quickly and continue your investigation! I want the most detailed and accurate information!" Langge roared.
"Yes, Lord Kuite!"
Professor Hansen left trembling. Langge sat alone in the room, his expression grim.
The geological instability of Hell Paradise Island made it a ticking time bomb.
Especially the forests in the Free Zone outside, which were rich in spiritual energy and home to various rare plants and animals. This was the most attractive aspect of the island.
But now, with the lava surging out, that forest was about to be destroyed. This was simply a catastrophe!
Imagine, who would be willing to cultivate on such a massive ticking time bomb! Especially after the forest was destroyed, there would be little point in staying on the island.
For the first time, Langge felt that his future was incredibly bleak.
...
At ten o'clock in the evening, Ling Tian's figure appeared at the border between the Order Zone and the Free Zone. He easily crossed the wall without any guards seeing him.
On the other side of the wall, in the forests of the Free Zone, Ling Tian directly released a Fire Spirit.
Then, Ling Tian immediately rushed to another location. His speed was incredibly fast, making him difficult to detect even when he flashed past people's eyes.
This Fire Spirit was the weakest of Ling Tian's five Fire Spirits, but its weakness was only relative.
A drizzle was falling from the sky, but these raindrops evaporated several meters away from the Fire Spirit in mid-air.
After being released, the Fire Spirit showed no hesitation, turning and lunging towards the forest.
Even though it was raining and the air was humid, the flames ignited by the Fire Spirit's thousand-degree heat were not afraid of this rainwater.
In an instant, the forest erupted into a raging inferno.
Flames were a great supplement to the Fire Spirit, which was overjoyed, constantly reveling in the sea of fire, igniting more and more of the forest.
Soon, the blazing flames illuminated the entire sky, waking almost everyone in the town.
Langge also received the news. He was somewhat enraged. His subordinates reported to him, but none of them could figure out how the fire had started.
Helpless, Langge had to dispatch dozens of guards with various firefighting equipment to the fire scene.
At this time, Ling Tian had arrived at the depths of the island, about two kilometers away from Mario Kuite's castle.
Here, massive warehouses stood tall. These warehouses were no ordinary structures; they stored large quantities of supplies, weapons, food, medicine, and other daily necessities.
The supplies for Hell Paradise Island came from the outside. Every time goods arrived, they were sent to these warehouses for strategic distribution.
Seven or eight ability users were stationed at the warehouses, along with some ordinary people working as warehouse keepers.
Ling Tian dodged the vigilant guards and the densely packed surveillance cameras, arriving behind the warehouses. Then, Ling Tian released a Fire Spirit.
Upon its appearance, the Fire Spirit directly lunged at the warehouse. A few minutes later, the entire warehouse became a sea of fire!
Mario Kuite, in his study, saw the fire here and was greatly alarmed. He quickly ordered people to extinguish the fire, and at the same time, he demanded that his guards concentrate at Mario Kuite's castle, no matter what, to capture the arsonist!
Next, Ling Tian proceeded to the third destination, the island's residential area, where most of the ability users, in particular, were settled!
At this moment, the island's ability users and guards had already been mobilized entirely, rushing to put out fires and preparing to apprehend the arsonist!
