The waters of Visaca Island.

Wars.h.i.+ps painted in light blue floated on the sea a distance away, facing in the direction of Visaca.

It was not the fleet facing the island, but all of its cannons were aimed at that direction as well, ready to fire salvos at a moment’s notice.

On the flags.h.i.+p in the middle of the fleet.

A man with a large back holding a translucent crystal ball was staring with a grim look at the island.

He was wearing a light red cape, with a white silk s.h.i.+rt and tight-fitting grey pants, on his waist was a thin cross-hilt sword, with the air of an agile elite swordsman.

“Has it reached that point?” The fluctuations of the energies mean it’s clear that Mi Yue is here,” the man said.

“All of the matrixes are ready, and the dark powers are charged and loaded, all of the guns can be aimed and fired at any time.” A red-haired lady on the deck behind him said.

“No hurry, they are probably using the volcano’s energies as a tribute, to summon Faldt from the Ashen World. We were unable to stop the summoning of the Hand of the Underworld last time, we cannot allow them to succeed again this time!” The man with the big back said solemnly.

“My lord, the Heaven’s Spire from Redwin had sent message, asking us about the movement of the other families on our side.” the red-haired lady frowned as she spoke softly.

“I’m only responsible for the Tyrone family, get them to ask the other families themselves.” The big-backed man was impatient.

“The Heaven Spire is being very sincere this time around. They had sent four of their strongest Palatinates to join the war.” the redhead reported.

“Four? Which four?”

“The first, Angel Encarmine, the second, Angel Noctis, the third, Angel Phantasma, and the fourth, Angel Medeis. All of their first four rankers are here, none missing.”

The big-backed man looked grim.

“Even the Angel Encarmine is here? That person… he was badly wounded during the last war.”

“Regardless, we still have Dreysha, with her watching over the family, there should not be any problems. Even if the situation is unknown, we can still retreat.” The red-haired lady spoke, before looking at the wars.h.i.+ps on the other side.

“Who Carta Blanche sent?” the man asked.

The redhead lady looked at the communicator in her hand.

“It’s not clear yet, but there is news that the Suncrown’s Stars have moved out.”

“That’s good at least. What we are afraid of is the Darklight were to strike, then the Suncrown will be the main force to deal with them.” the man nodded.

*Bam!!*

At that moment, in the sea afar, a faint white cloud suddenly burst out from the sea, as it seemed like a sh.e.l.l had been fired.

A group of battles.h.i.+ps blasted out sh.e.l.ls into the sky, before exploding midair, and turning into an orb of a miniature sun.

The blinding white light lit up the originally dark skies.

Many of the elites on the battles.h.i.+ps then cast their gaze towards the island in the distance.

That flare shot was actually an arranged signal flare, and with its launch, it signals that the Sevenlocks Tower’s ceremony had reached its most critical moment.

And this raid would see that Mi Yue and a few other elites could not free themselves to face their foes as they needed to maintain the ritual.

“Now is the best time to strike. Let’s go!”

Over at the wars.h.i.+p leading the pack, a red ma.s.s suddenly flew up, as countless of ice crystals formed into a crimson wing.

It was a tall red-haired lady with a powerful built, she was even taller than a normal man, as red ice crystals surrounded her.

And soon, the Palatinates all stood up one by one.

Some of them flew, while some leaped onto the sea, and walked upon the waves.

Some even rode giant birds out of the sky, and some relied on high tech gliders as they jumped down and glided towards Visaca Island.

In just a short period of time, all of the elites rushed towards Visaca Island in all sorts of methods.

*Boom boom boom!!!*

At the same moment, all of the s.h.i.+ps with the most powerful penetrating cannons thundered as they sent salvos upon salvos of dark power-enhanced sh.e.l.ls broke through the sound barrier and rained upon the island of Visaca.

*Vooom!!*

Suddenly, in the skies about the island, a giant red ring suddenly appeared out of nowhere and unleashed a huge gravitational force.

All of the sh.e.l.ls that were raining down upon the island were ripped off from their original trajectories by the gravitational force, as they were all pulled into the ring.

And without a sound, all of the sh.e.l.ls flew into the abyss, with nary an echo.

As soon as the sh.e.l.ls touched the ring, they were absorbed within it as if the sh.e.l.l’s ma.s.sive impact did not exist at all.

At the same time, the dark blue skies were suddenly painted red by the ring.

The war had finally begun.

…

Lin Sheng sat quietly in the isolation chamber to heal and recondition his body.

After coming back from the barrow, he had returned there twice, with Tenko Kasumi in tow both times.

If he was alone, it would be difficult to cope with the barrow, but with Tenko Kasumi around, things were much simpler. In the latter two trips, the dragon souls of the Dragon’s Barrow had sensed the power that Kasumi had unknowingly exuded, and that kept them all under leash.

While he could not totally guarantee their loyalty, as long as he was careful, he did not need to guard them so tightly.

*Beeep…*

As he was closing his eyes to mend his injuries, the isolation chamber’s emergency communicator not too far away from Lin Sheng suddenly rang out.

“Sir, I’m Cainphas. There is a situation you might need to see.”

“Go on.” Lin Sheng said with his eyes closed.

The use of the emergency communicator was generally not permitted. Only if something really critical had happened was someone allowed to use it to get in touch with Lin Sheng.

Cainphas, on the communicator, groaned a little as he continued, “The Three Hidden Realms had united many small and medium factions and have taken the multinational joint-fleet to Visaca Island in the middle of the Pearl Ocean in combat formation. And just now, we had received intel from the joint-fleet’s observers, that the Palatinates on both sides had begun their head-on clash.”

“Seems like it’s total war now.” Lin Sheng now realized it.

From the beginning, it was impossible for both the Sevenlocks Tower and the Three Hidden Realms to get along.

Either one side will end up completely defeated.

But what Lin Sheng did not expect was the expected war would come so soon.

He then quickly sought more detailed information of the battlefield, and it was until Cainphas had to suddenly attend to a situation on his side that Lin Sheng let him go, and disconnected the communicator.

*Clack.*

Tenko Kasumi pushed the door open and looked at Lin Sheng who slowly got up.

“So what’s going on? Has the fighting begun? What do you plan to do?”

“Ignore them. Whether the Three Hidden Realms or the Sevenlocks Tower wins, it has nothing to do with us.” Lin Sheng said flatly.

“The Three Hidden Realms has been against us, and the same is true for the Sevenlocks Towers, so both of them are our foes. Only by allowing both sides to tear each other apart in this war will benefit us the most.”

Tenko Kasumi was a little disappointed.

“And here I thought you were finally going to let go, and have a good fight. I’ve rushed back all excited, but it’s business as usual for you eh.”
