Chapter 393: Special Task Fleet, Surprise, Her Highness’ Favor?

Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Chen and his group advanced at a rapid pace, soon spotting a fleet of fifteen steel warships on the sea. The majestic lion flag on the bridge fluttered in the wind.

The warships were bustling with activity, and their cannons were slightly raised, clearly in a state of readiness for battle.

Something seemed suspicious about this.

After some thought, Ji Chen ordered the entire army to submerge into the sea and prepare for combat.

With a wave of his hand, he led Anina forward.

After a moment, the fleet with the lion flag noticed them and changed course, heading in their direction.

Several escort ships on the flanks moved forward diagonally, and their gun turrets slowly rotated, positioning themselves for the best firing angles.

From Ji Chen’s perspective, this formation appeared hostile.

He hesitated for a moment.

With a determined expression, Ji Chen knew that ensuring his own safety was the top priority.

Mana within him surged like a powerful engine, spreading substantial energy in all directions. Countless bodies of seawater defied gravity and floated upwards under the influence of his mana.

Then, like magnets attracting each other, the seawater bonded together, gradually forming a colossal water giant, standing at around forty to fifty meters tall. This giant was clad in armor, wore a helmet, and held a war spear.

Standing on the giant’s shoulder, Ji Chen raised his right hand as if preparing to throw something, and the water giant mirrored his action, pointing its spear towards the center of the fleet.

Once launched, this attack would create massive waves, enough to deal a significant blow to the fleet.

Simultaneously, thousands of uniform fifth-tier troops lurked silently underwater, ready to burst forth and deliver a devastating assault at Ji Chen’s command.

As the fleet drew closer, Ji Chen’s eyes narrowed, preparing to launch the spear.

However, at that moment, all the warships lowered their gun barrels, deactivated all exposed weaponry, and raised banners bearing the Crown of the Ocean and other flags arranged in a specific pattern.

The arrangement of these flags conveyed a message — a message of friendship and goodwill.

Seeing this, Ji Chen’s slightly furrowed brow relaxed. He lowered the raised war spear.

One of the warships approached rapidly, showing no signs of hostility.

At the bow of the ship, a soldier gazed at the towering giant with some apprehension and spoke loudly.

“May I inquire if you are Lord of the Stormy Sea, the Master of the Ocean’s Crown, Ji Chen?”

Ji Chen remained expressionless and replied calmly, “Yes, it is I. What brings you here?”

“We are a special envoy fleet from the Lienhardt Grand Duchy’s royal fleet. Her Highness Monica received news of the Crown of the Ocean and its situation, so she has specifically sent us to provide support.”

Did Monica send them?

Ji Chen suddenly realized and, after some thought, pieced together the situation.

It seemed that Monica also knew that their information had been leaked. The Kingdom of Bass was undoubtedly taking action regarding the Crown of the Ocean, so they dispatched this fleet for support.

The idea was good, but it was a bit too late. The war had ended almost a day ago, and they were only arriving now. Their arrival could be seen as adding icing on the cake but not as timely assistance. Therefore, Ji Chen had no particular gratitude toward them.

He replied with a cold attitude, “I understand.”

Ji Chen’s response left the soldier puzzled.

Huh, why was his reaction so different from what we had expected?

Shouldn’t he be grateful and excited that we came to the rescue?

In the soldier’s eyes, when a prestigious Lord like Ji Chen learned that a small territory like the Crown of the Ocean was facing off against the Kingdom of Bass, even if it was just a small reconnaissance fleet, he might have been frightened.

So, when he learned that the Lienhardt Grand Duchy was coming to support, shouldn’t he have been overjoyed?

Why does he seem so indifferent?

The soldier had mixed feelings, but he focused on his mission and asked, “Your Excellency, has the fleet from the Kingdom of Bass arrived yet?”

Ji Chen nodded without hesitation.

“Where are they now?”

“They have been captured.”

The soldier was once again taken aback.

Captured?

Is it the capture he’s thinking of?

Seeing the soldier’s reaction, Ji Chen didn’t want to waste more time there and casually said, “The leader of your troop can follow me back to the island while the rest of you remain here.”

After saying this, he waved his hand, dispersing the colossal water giant, and mounted a Tyrant Azure Dragon, taking Anina with him. Without looking back, they headed back.

The soldier watched Ji Chen’s receding figure and, after a moment of confusion, promptly reported all this.

A ship from the special envoy fleet docked in the harbor.

Soldiers and sailors on the deck looked at the devastated port and the five steel warships anchored not far away. They were familiar with the banners on those ships; they belonged to the Kingdom of Bass and were the target of their mission.

However, at this moment, those warships were quietly docked in the harbor. Some people were moving on them, but it was evident that they were not soldiers of the Kingdom of Bass.

Taking another look at the scene of devastation, it resembled the ruins of a port that had just endured a major battle.

Among the ruins, there were many robust men working diligently under the supervision of some lizardmen, earnestly clearing away the remnants of buildings.

This made them believe in the fact that this territory had successfully repelled the Kingdom of Bass fleet’s attack and had even captured five out of six warships.

Among the soldiers and sailors, a young Lienhardt Grand Duchy officer felt particularly conflicted at this moment.

Just a while back, when Her Highness Monica personally called him, he was absolutely thrilled.

After all, she was the Grand Duke’s prized gem, the most esteemed and gorgeous woman in the Lienhardt Grand Duchy, brimming with talent.. She was the ideal romantic interest for every man in the Grand Duchy!
