Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 1052 - Fleet

Chapter 1052: Fleet

In particular, the Tower of Dusk now had a Sanctuary-level president and the Sky Castle, which was the High Elves’ most powerful war weapon. Such power was enough for them to be above all in the Breezy Plains. Unification would mean that they were all subjected to the same rule on the same level, but now the Tower of Dusk had a supreme position, just like the Ashen Warlock or the Supreme Council. Their status could not be shaken easily.

However, with the arrival of a fleet from the Gilded Kingdom, the peace in the Breezy Plains was once again disrupted. According to the previous negotiations, the forces that the Gilded Kingdom could deploy in the Breezy Plains were subjected to strict limitations and regulations. What did the fleet’s emergence mean then? After receiving the news, all the forces in the Breezy Plains, including those that had already pledged allegiance to the Gilded Kingdom, immediately became nervous.

However, if the people of the Tower of Dusk did not stand up for the other forces, they wouldn’t have enough courage to question the Gilded Kingdom. On the other hand, those who had pledged allegiance to the Gilded Kingdom did not manage to find out any substantial information from them based on hearsay.

Hence, they thought of the Tower of Dusk and the various forces led by the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family. They immediately sent their envoys to the Tower of Dusk in hopes that the Tower of Dusk could pressure the Gilded Kingdom to clarify the issue of the fleet.

Initially, these forces thought that the Tower of Dusk would definitely take this opportunity to extort a large sum of money from the Gilded Kingdom. After all, during the previous negotiations, the Tower of Dusk had angered the envoys of the Gilded Kingdom and taught them a lesson. However, they didn’t expect the people of the Tower of Dusk to remain unmoved even after receiving this news. Everything was as per usual, and they were going on with their daily duties as usual. They did not seem to have any intention to question the Gilded Kingdom and blame them.

Just like that, while the forces were nervously paying attention, the fleet that flew the flag of the Gilded Kingdom slowly sailed into the newly built Port Tim a few days later. The seabirds hovering over one of the battles.h.i.+ps made the newly built seaport become lively again.

Port Tim had originally been just a small fis.h.i.+ng port. After the Gilded Kingdom officially entered the Breezy Plains, it naturally couldn’t keep its battles.h.i.+ps docked at the Malfa Family’s port in Calon City. Hence, they spent some money to purchase Port Tim, and put it through expansion and development. Since the new harbor was built in accordance with the standards of military ports, the size of the current Port Tim could be considered the largest among the various ports in the Breezy Plains.

Besides, when the fleet entered the harbor, the Gilded Kingdom placed the area around the harbor under martial law, driving away all the irrelevant people and spies from the various forces. Of course, doing so did not mean that they could completely eliminate the spies of the other forces. After all, the Gilded Kingdom’s forces had only just entered the Breezy Plains. The martial law was actually for the sake of a.s.serting dominance rather than establis.h.i.+ng confidentiality. Clearly, Cantory and the others valued the fleet greatly.

After the entire port was subjected to the martial law, Cantory, Elder Jorre, and Admiral Nasry of the Third Fleet even brought their subordinates to the port, and set up a grand scene to welcome the fleet’s arrival.

Although the spies of the various forces of the Breezy Plains were driven away from the harbor, they were tasked with finding a suitable position and keeping an eye on the situation from afar. When they saw what Cantory and the others had done, they were all stunned. Although they hadn’t seen the situation of the fleet, they could already feel that something major was about to happen.

Cantory and the senior executives of the Gilded Kingdom had already been investigated by the various forces of the Breezy Plains. Although they could not find any top-secret information, they had gained a thorough understanding of those several people. The members of the various forces knew that Cantory, Elder Jorre, and Nasry were not only the leaders who were sent to the Breezy Plains by the Gilded Kingdom, they were also figures of respectable status even within the Gilded Kingdom.

Cantory’s ident.i.ty as the son of the chancellor of the Gilded Kingdom was not too significant. More importantly, he was a student of the priest of the Illuminati. That ident.i.ty alone probably allowed him to be somewhat superior to the several other princes. On the other hand, the status of Elder Jorre, who was an elder of the Illuminati, was not what any of the princes and ministers could compare to, even though he did not have a high ranking.

The admiral of the Third Fleet, Nasry, was a figure of extraordinary status in the Gilded Kingdom. The Gilded Kingdom itself was mainly focused on naval power, and the construction and development of the navy had always been their top priority. A strong navy could be considered the foundation of their nation. As he was an admiral, his status was obviously not inferior.

Now, the three of them who were powerful figures of the Gilded Kingdom actually went to the port personally to meet the people from the fleet. Could it be that a powerful figure had arrived? All of a sudden, the spies began to tense up as their breathing quickened. That was definitely a piece of groundbreaking news. As long as they figured things out clearly, they would definitely be rewarded.

A connection channel began to be built on the platform of the port for the battles.h.i.+ps of the fleet. The people of the battles.h.i.+p were about to walk out, and the spies around the port began to get excited. They tried their best to think of a way to get closer to eavesdrop clearly. There were even some mages who launched the Warlock’s Eyes into the air in a bid to take advantage of its invisibility to explore the port from a close distance.

Unfortunately, the Warlock’s Eyes could not escape the eye of powerful spell casters even though they could be hidden from ordinary people. As soon as the Warlock’s Eyes approached the sky above the port, several Illuminati priests who were following Elder Jorre raised their hands into the air in unison, after which fireworks were set off in the sky, instantly sweeping away all the Warlock’s Eyes.

Of course, that was not the only means that the spies had. For example, some could go into stealth mode, some could stay hidden in the shadows, and some could even share the vision of rats and other animals. However, although they had various means, their personal strength was not incredible, and they were incompetent compared to true powerhouses.

When the port was cleared once again, the people on the battles.h.i.+p finally came out while Cantory and the others received them. Upon sight of the people who exited, the spies were once again shocked. They even felt engulfed by pangs of panic that made them find breathing difficult.

Unlike what the spies had expected, those that came out of the battles.h.i.+p were not a few important figures, but a shockingly powerful army. Although there were probably less than 1,000 individuals in the army, each one of them had magical waves that were near the Legendary-level. There were even some powerhouses who had truly stepped into the Legendary-realm.

Although the combat power of such a team was far inferior to the Magic Legion under the lead of Highlord Osric, they were considered a terrifying force in the current Anril. Without the support of the Supreme Council and the Brilliance Shrine, the armies of the Felan Kingdom and Ledin Kingdom were probably no match for it.

What does the Gilded Kingdom want? Is it really going to start a war? Although the mages of the various forces in the Breezy Plains had seen an improvement in strength under the influence of the magic tides over the past two years, no force would be able to contend with such a team.

After the army got off the battles.h.i.+p, they immediately lined up neatly on the port, and finally a few important figures who each had an extraordinary aura walked out. At the same time, Cantory and others also took the initiative to welcome them without hesitation. After greeting each other, they slowly walked towards the city while talking about something.

When peace was restored in the port, the spies of the various forces also finally sobered up from the shock. One by one, they scurried back to their respective forces, and reported everything that they had just seen as soon as possible.

Once the news got out, the entire Breezy Plains was immediately triggered by the news. The sudden addition of such a powerful force from the Gilded Kingdom was a great threat to any other force. Now, the leaders of the forces of the Breezy Plains could no longer stay calm. They were certain that the Gilded Kingdom was not in the Breezy Plains for a vacation.

They had hoped that the Tower of Dusk would come forward and question Gilded Kingdom about the fleet, but now that they knew about the army, they felt even more threatened. Hence, those who had been sent to the Tower of Dusk were eagerly pestering Gavin and other senior executives of the Tower of Dusk, desperately hoping that the Tower of Dusk would stand up against the Gilded Kingdom.

However, the members of the Tower of Dusk maintained the same att.i.tude. In fact, even Gavin and other executives of the Tower of Dusk also suddenly went missing as they scurried to the Sky Castle’s inverted tower to hide in peace. Although Gavin knew that the Gilded Kingdom suddenly dispatched a powerful army through those people, he also knew that the Gilded Kingdom would never pose a threat to the Tower of Dusk even if they had a stronger team.

Actually, the att.i.tude of the Tower of Dusk was very clear. As long as the Gilded Kingdom’s actions were not in conflict with the interests of the Tower of Dusk, they would leave them be. Besides, during the initial negotiation, the forces of the Breezy Plains had all agreed to let the Gilded Kingdom enter the Breezy Plains. Since they had made that choice back then, they ought to be the ones to be responsible regardless of what problems they faced.

In a state of helplessness, some of the forces led by the Mithril Alliance bit the bullet and began protesting against the Gilded Kingdom’s actions, demanding an explanation for their army’s deployment. However, the members of the Gilded Kingdom obviously did not take them seriously, especially now that there was such a powerful force sent from the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, they obviously were not bothered by the so-called top forces of the Breezy Plains.

In order to exert pressure on the Gilded Kingdom, Elvis of the Mithril Alliance even rushed to Port Tim together with two Sanctuary powerhouses from other forces in a bid to force the Gilded Kingdom to compromise under the power of the Sanctuary powerhouses. However, while no one knew what the three Sanctuary powerhouses had talked about with the people of Gilded Kingdom, they knew that they left Port Tim with sullen expressions soon after entering.

Although Elvis and the others could only be considered pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses, they had still stepped into the Sanctuary-realm after all. Yet, the people of the Gilded Kingdom did not show them any respect. Apart from feeling shocked, they kept their guard up too.

After Elvis and the others left Port Tim, they did not return to their respective forces immediately, and instead headed to the Tower of Dusk. Since they were ultimately still Sanctuary powerhouses, Gavin could not ignore them like how he ignored others. He could only bring them to the guest hall, and then inform the president.

However, the three pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses, who were unapproachable in the eyes of ordinary people, were nothing to Lin Li. Soon, Gavin returned to the meeting room alone, and told the three that Lin Li did not have the time to see them now. “The President is already aware of your purpose of visit. He wants me to tell you that it’s better for the people of the Breezy Plains to decide for the matters in the Breezy Plains. He doesn’t have time to waste on these issues.”

Clearly, the Tower of Dusk was not going to get involved in this matter! Elvis and the others looked at each other. Despite being incredibly indignant, they had no choice but to get up and bid farewell. They knew very well that their ident.i.ties as Sanctuary powerhouses were just a joke to genuine Sanctuary powerhouses.

After they strayed far away from the Tower of Dusk, another Sanctuary powerhouse who was from the Mithril Alliance finally complained to Elvis in displeasure. “Elvis, it seems that our ident.i.ties as Sanctuary powerhouses carry no weight at all. Neither the Gilded Kingdom nor the Tower of Dusk takes us seriously. You’ve contacted the president of the Tower of Dusk before. What do you think he means by this?”

The person who spoke was a Sanctuary powerhouse named Rojet, who was an elder of the Taylor Family of the Mithril Alliance and the grandfather of Joseph, the previous helmsman of the Mithril Alliance. He was initially stuck at the peak of level-24 and was waiting to die. To his surprise, he managed to break through the bottleneck with the help of the magic tides, and stepped into the Sanctuary-realm.

When he stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, Rojet was still thinking about bringing the Taylor Family to rise again, and he even wanted to lead the Taylor Family to dominate the Breezy Plains and establish a kingdom belonging to the Taylor Family.
