Chapter 479: Just This? Starting an Internal Strife (2)

Seizing this opportunity, Anina suddenly exerted force under her feet, leaving a deep footprint on the steel deck before disappearing from the spot. She reappeared only four or five meters away from the Revered Envoy. With her left hand clenched into a powerful fist, she struck with great force.

Her fair-skinned fist was accompanied by swirling vortex-like whirlwinds. If an ordinary human were to receive such a blow, their entire body would likely shatter into pieces.

The Revered Envoy had just recovered from a brief daze when she saw this fist, carrying terrifying power, rapidly approaching. The pupils under her mask shrank dramatically, and she quickly formed seals with both hands, trying to harness all of her magic to create an ice shield.

However, this shield couldn’t withstand the power akin to that of an ancient dragon whale. The fist only encountered a momentary obstruction before shattering the ice shield, sending the Revered Envoy flying across the deck like a volleyball, tracing an arc in the air before plunging into the sea.

“Hmph, 1 thought you were so strong, but it turns out you’re only at this level?”

Anina looked at the Revered Envoy as she splashed into the water, a disdainful expression on her face.

Remembering the instructions to spare the life of the Revered Envoy, she quickly jumped into the water to rescue the busty woman.

It seemed that the battle at the other end of the deck had also concluded.

Herald picked up the limp Shalifa, who felt like dead weight and held him at eye level, his eyes showing a hint of disdain.

“…Too weak.”

Shalifa’s body trembled, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Where did this monster come from?

Its strength was so terrifying!

Recalling how he was toyed with like a plaything just moments ago, completely helpless, he closed his eyes in pain.

“Big guy, are you done over there?”

Anina shouted loudly toward Herald while holding the Dragon Slayer Great Sword in one hand and dragging the soaked Revered Envoy with the other.

Herald, having dropped the completely incapacitated Shalifa, looked around.

The Naga Guardians had completely gained control of the deck and pinned the remaining enemy soldiers down in the lower compartments. There was nothing left to threaten them now.

“The task given by the Lord hasn’t been completed yet, there’s one last step.”

Herald slithered toward the front of the ship’s deck where the Destroyer cannon was located. With a casual swipe of his claws, he cut open a wooden crate, revealing alchemical cannonballs inscribed with runes inside.

Anina’s eyes lit up as she dropped the unconscious Revered Envoy.

She reached for the cannonballs, which required several soldiers and a loading mechanism to lift, and placed them directly into the cannon, closing the breach.

Then, she began adjusting the firing parameters. Unlike other precise alchemical cannons, this Destroyer cannon looked more like a coastal defense cannon, and its adjustments were straightforward. As long as one knew the approximate distance between the current position and the target, it was easy to adjust.

With a few swift movements, Anina quickly aimed the cannon at the collapsed section of the wall in Feiguang City. She looked at her handiwork, clapped her hands, and chuckled, “Done!”

She then motioned for Herald to move further away with Shalifa and the Revered Envoy to avoid being carried away by the shockwave.

Once they were in a safe position, Anina excitedly grabbed the railing and pulled a rope.

Boom!

The Destroyer cannon roared once again, but this time, the target was the very defenses constructed by the Bass Kingdom’s army.

The red-runed cannonball soared into the air, following the set parameters, and accurately struck the previously collapsed section of the city wall -the very location where the Bass Kingdom’s forces had built their defenses.

A soldier from the Bass Kingdom heard a muffled boom behind him, turned around in confusion, and saw a red tail streaking through the sky straight toward them. His face displayed a mix of astonishment and terror.

“Get down—”

Before he could finish his sentence, his ears were filled with a deafening roar, and his vision was completely enveloped in red light. Then, everything went dark, and consciousness faded away.

A red mushroom cloud rose at the breach in the city wall, and the power of this explosion was even greater than the previous one. The collapsed city wall had created a flat terrain, maximizing the impact of the explosion.

Rippling shockwaves like folded edges swept countless soil and rocks into the air, sending hundreds of meters of landing soldiers flying. Even the monstrous creatures had to lower their bodies to withstand the shock. Rings of shockwaves created waves several meters high, causing the landing craft to roll backward.

As the dust settled, the thousands of Bass Kingdom soldiers who were stationed at the breach had turned into nothingness. Not even a trace of their bodies remained. Apart from the residual heat and dust from the explosion, there was nothing left.

Inside the city, the defending soldiers stared at this scene in disbelief, looking at each other with wide eyes.

“What just happened…”

Could it be that the Bass Kingdom was in the midst of a civil war?

Were their own people attacking each other? What was the reason for this enmity?

Although they didn’t understand what had happened, they realized that an opportunity had arisen.

This single cannon blast had wiped out over five thousand enemy troops, cleared the previously fortified breach in the city wall, and the shockwave prevented the next wave of invaders from returning in time.

Now was the best chance for a counterattack!

Realizing this, the commanding officer of the defending forces immediately ordered the soldiers who were prepared to retreat into the city to return and rebuild the defense line at the breach in the city wall.

They focused all their attention on preparing for the impending counterattack. However, to their surprise, they saw the Bass Kingdom soldiers in panic, rushing back to their ships and evacuating with haste.

But then, an even more shocking scene unfolded when these landing vessels were halfway to safety.

On the calm sea surface, three colossal waves, each several kilometers long and towering to a height of twenty to thirty meters, suddenly surged without any apparent cause. The engulfing spray instantly swallowed up those landing vessels.

The sea surface was left with only a few floating corpses and the wreckage of the ships.

The soldiers were utterly bewildered. What had just happened?

In the blink of an eye, the once formidable enemy forces were decimated.

First, a devastating cannonball rained down upon their warships, causing countless casualties among their own ranks. Then, during their retreat, they were inexplicably engulfed by three massive waves out of nowhere.

The once mighty Bass Kingdom army now lay in disarray, almost completely annihilated.

Even with their vivid imaginations, they could not fathom what had occurred.

“Look, the fleet’s flags have been lowered, and white flags are flying!”

People strained their eyes to see.

Indeed, the flags of that fleet had disappeared, replaced by high-flying white flags.

With their warships immobilized and a blockade of burly sea creatures, the crew of the Eighth Fleet had lost hope.

After hearing that their supreme commander, His Excellency Shalifa, had been captured and that surrendering could spare them from death, they had little will left to resist.

After a brief standoff, they chose to lay down their weapons, one by one raising their hands and lining up on the deck, waiting obediently.

This scene played out simultaneously on over thirty warships of the Eighth Fleet.

Ji Chen emerged from the sea, walking on a water ladder. Once his feet touched the steel deck, the water ladder collapsed with a resounding splash.

“My lord, we’ve completed the mission!”

Anina was the first to notice and ran over to boast.

Ji Chen smiled and patted her small head. “Well done, Anina. You’ve done splendidly.”

Feeling the warmth of that big hand, Anina giggled and pointed to the side. “The one you wanted to capture with the mask and the fleet commander are both here.”

Ji Chen glanced over and saw the Deceiver with the golden mask lying drenched but still slightly moving, indicating that she was alive. The other one was bound tightly like a dumpling, slumped against the wall with lifeless eyes.

After a moment of consideration, Ji Chen said, “Keep the Deceiver, and hand the other one over to the Lienhardt Grand Duchy..”
