Chapter 218: Tension and Conflict

Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Looking at the two fully armed warships approaching, the captain, guards, and sailors were on high alert.

Swords were drawn, crossbows loaded.

Unable to determine if they were friends or foes.

If they were friends, they might request help from the Lienhardt Grand Duchy in the name of the nation.

But if they were enemies…

Their hearts sank; even though they were prepared to sacrifice themselves, they would do everything to protect the safety of the Lady.

“Brave soldiers, please temporarily put down your weapons,”

The Lady suddenly stood up, her melodious voice like a lark resounding.

Everyone was startled, and the captain asked in puzzlement, “My Lady, we can’t afford to lower our guard until we know whether they are enemies or friends!”

“Exactly. If we brandish our weapons first, we might turn someone who was friendly or had the potential to become a friend into an enemy.”

The Lady gazed at them, her delicate face adorned with a playful smile, “Besides, we can’t win against them anyway, can we?”

These words left the captain and his crew momentarily stunned, then they couldn’t help but smile wryly; they had to admit, the Lady always managed to persuade them from a certain perspective, and it sounded quite reasonable.

“Very well, let’s all temporarily lay down our weapons.” The chief guard sighed helplessly, shaking his head. “But remember, if they show any malice, we’ll counterattack immediately, with the priority of protecting the Lady’s safety!”

As the warships approached closer, everyone’s vigilance reached its peak.

However, when they saw the figures on the ship, they were all taken aback.

Well… not only were there humans on the ship, but also murlocs, nagas, and adorable flying creatures.

Various races mixed together like a hodgepodge.

Just as they were astonished,

In addition to these, dozens of sea tribe warriors riding giant lobsters emerged from the sea, followed by hundreds of enormous alchemical devilfish and floating sea spiders.

There were also several giant birds flying in a formation in the sky.

A diverse array of powerful soldiers surrounded them in an instant, eyeing them warily.

The two warships encircled them from both sides, and the dozen or so cannon barrels on the ship exuded a chilling air.

The captain and chief guard looked at this scene, their expressions growing more solemn. They discreetly shielded the Lady behind them, their muscles tensing, their hands on the hilt of their blades, ready to unsheath them at any moment.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, both sides poised for conflict.

Just as the heavy tension reached its climax, a voice came from the ship.

“This is the Stormy Sea, the private domain of our lord.”

“Who are you, and why have you trespassed here?”

Hearing this, the captain and his group were immediately stunned.

What? The Stormy Sea is the private domain of their lord?

Seeing them remain silent, the voice spoke again, this time with some impatience.

“I’ll ask again, who are you, and why have you come here!?”

The captain took a deep breath, sheathed his half-drawn sword, and performed the standard salute of the Lienhardt Grand Duchy’s navy toward the source of the voice, “I honor Your Excellency, I am the captain of the Radiant Envoy under the command of the Lienhardt Grand Duchy’s navy, currently on a mission.

We were unaware that this place had a lord, nor did we intend to trespass. However, we were attacked on our journey, and to escape the pursuit, we had no choice but to take the risk of passing through the storm and seek refuge here.

But unfortunately, the Radiant Envoy suffered continuous damage, and it became severely damaged, sinking to the point of no return. Therefore, we had to abandon the ship and flee.”

The captain pointed at the debris floating on the nearby sea surface, explaining in detail, his expression sincere, bowing again respectfully.

“We might have caused offense, so on behalf of the Lienhardt Grand Duchy, please accept our sincere apology.”

It must be said that this approach is impeccable. They first explain their reasons and then apologize while subtly mentioning their backing.

This method showed humility, gave the other party respect, and also created a certain level of deterrence.

Even from the most critical perspective, it is difficult to find any fault.

However, they couldn’t have anticipated the kind of leader they were dealing with.

Listening to the rapid explanation, Anina suddenly felt a headache, but at least she caught the most crucial point.

Inadvertent intrusion.

That made things easy.

Anina waved her hand dismissively, “Then just leave now.”

The captain and chief guard subconsciously looked down at the small boat they were standing on, and even though they maintained a composed appearance, their lips couldn’t help twitching.

Leave in this small boat?

They were afraid they might get capsized by the storm before even sailing out of the stormy sea, going straight to meet all the past Grand Dukes of the Lienhardt Grand Duchy.

“Allow me to negotiate with them,” the girl, supported by her maids, emerged from behind the captain and chief guard, facing the opposite side.

“Please be careful, My Lady…” Both men subconsciously tried to shield the girl behind them, but she stopped them with a raised hand.

“It’s fine; they are not enemies.”

The girl shook her head, lifting her head like a proud peacock, looking up at Anina, who stood on the deck of the several-meter-high warship.

Her expression neither haughty nor subservient, even on the slightly swaying small boat, she elegantly performed a kneeling salute.

“I am Monica Valencia, daughter of the Lienhardt Grand Duchy’s ruler.”

“Due to an enemy attack, the Radiant Envoy has sunk, and the supplies onboard have been lost to the sea. With only our current resources and ships, we don’t have enough to return..”
