Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 571 - 506: After the battle, we’ll go back and..._2

From how the three Mechanical Angels addressed Princeton, it was evident that while he held the usage rights, ownership was not necessarily in his hands.

Compared to the "Vitalist School," it seems to have its pros and cons.

Taking advantage of this moment, Princeton lightly waved his hand, and his equipment was renewed.

A metal headband inlaid with gemstones, half-body armor with gears, springs, and various mechanical attachments, a pair of ornate short guns at his waist, and steel combat boots on his feet.

The three angels spread a golden halo above their heads, closely guarding his side.

Four figures shot up into the sky, actively facing the second Sea God's Son, "Gulf Stream" Petrich.

On the water's surface, the Ship Spirit of the "Steam Fortress" maneuvered the warship in a circle on the sea to automatically follow, its advanced fire control system capable of continuously firing various types of shells to constrain Petrich's movements, even at high speeds.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...

It even occasionally diverted firepower to support the defense of the island chain.

This formidable adversary, outside of the plan, was practically born for war. Even Petrich, with an Extraordinary level higher than his, had to risk everything to drive him away from the island chain's battlefield.

Splish splash...

Meanwhile, the remaining over eight hundred Sea Monsters twisted their iron-like monstrous bodies, launching a full-scale attack on the island chain.

"Into the water!"

At Fisher's command, over half of the elite troops under his command rushed into the sea, leaving only the necessary personnel on the island.

The vast surrounds of the defensive island chain immediately began to churn like a boiling pot, and the "meat grinder" called the battlefield began operating at full speed!

Swish! Swish! Swish!...

Large groups of Rapids Fishmen wielding Long-Handled Armor-Piercing Awls, relying on their agility, left terrifying blood holes on the Sea Monsters' bodies that simply couldn't stop bleeding.

Several Storm Giant Spirits combined efforts to summon large-scale thunderstorms, charring half the bodies of the larger categories of Sea Monsters.

Sea Elves riding wild Sea Monsters engaged in deadly skirmishes with the Mother of Sea Monsters' Beloved. With the aid of their Magic-like Technique and Wisdom, the wild Sea Monsters' combat power surged.

And the Sea Monsters' retaliation was even more ferocious; their massive limbs churned the sea current, making it difficult for the Fish People to get close, while a swing of their gigantic tails would turn their tiny opponents into a pulp.

It was like agile cavalry fighting an iron fortress; superficially they could attack, but as soon as the opponent seized the opportunity for a counterattack, the cavalry would meet their doom.

Boom——!

On the main island under the greatest pressure, a large "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp" already rushed to the shore, launching its incredibly hard hammer within one ten-thousandth of a second. The intense impact generated heat that ionized the surrounding air, emitting lightning-like sparks.

The defenses, hastily built over a few short months, were no match for human fortresses. Many Souls of Drowning defending were flung outwards, turning into mist mid-air.

At this moment, nowhere on the perilous battlefield was safe.

Chaos! Great chaos!

On the second island to the left of the main island, Aiven and Olivia, as part of the defensive force, were also prepared to engage.

A red and blue toy soldier army composed of three hundred units had been fully deployed by Aiven, forming a battle formation around the Position Orbit. In direct combat, their collective combat power far surpassed that of the "Storm Horn's" crew.

For the extremely tempting promise of the King of Sea Monsters, Aiven and Olivia spared no expense in constructing this oversized Position Ceremony using a vast amount of gemstones and witchcraft materials, combining their strengths to transform this place into a mobile artillery platform comparable to a Tier 3 Wizard.

Primarily focusing on Olivia, who excelled in destructive power, with Aiven, who excelled in creativity, as support.

[Position Ceremony: Red-haired Witch]

Effect: Amplifies the power of the "Gem School" and "Vitalist School" series of witchcraft by 200%, and gains additional aggressive witchcraft [Red-haired Witch].

The core of the Position comes from a highly quality "Red Hair Crystal," only a hair's breadth from a "Gem Star."

The Red Hair Crystal contains a net of rutile like fine red hair, elegantly entwined, extremely beautiful, earning it the name Venus Crystal.

A certain Sea Elf used this useless treasure to exchange with Aiven for a high-end customized "Venom" battle armor, a transaction both sides were very satisfied with.

Sta——

Fully armed with gemstones, Olivia stood in the center of the Position, extending her gem-adorned right hand to utter the incantation for activation.

As circles of runes primarily in red lit up, the power of the Position was fully activated.

Boom!

The Position's shield automatically activated, withstanding the remnants of the Tier 4 battle above.

Meanwhile, two toy soldiers standing not far from the Position Orbit erupted in an explosion, falling to the ground obscurely.

Seeing this, Aiven's heart tightened slightly, glancing at the beautiful girl beside him preparing to activate an Attack Technique. For the sake of his territory, Olivia was at this moment filled with fighting spirit and a desire for battle.

Though she had visibly flinched from the recent shockwave, she quickly straightened her spine.

After all, on a battlefield involving Tier 4 powerhouses, the two Official Wizards were not much more noble than the Rapids Fishmen dying at any moment.

He hesitated for a moment and said softly:

"Hesi, save your strength. If something feels wrong, we'll retreat. That piece of territory isn't a must-have for us."

With Kaka and the [Thunderbird Robe] as double insurance, as long as Aiven wanted to retreat, even Tier 4 couldn't catch up.

Though it's a gamble to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, for Aiven, having the territory is great, but it's not essential. According to the future world's development trends, powerful conglomerates won't be of less value than a vast piece of land.

A piece of land is not worth risking their lives for.

"Why?"

As the descendant of a Great Noble, Olivia naturally understood the significance of land for a traditional noble.

If Baron Galliot could gain a 60,000 square kilometer territory bonus, no matter how rigid the old antiques were, Galliot and Aimoer would be a perfect match in their eyes.

The Galliot family, which had nothing besides a family name, could leap into the upper echelons of the Kingdom's nobility, laying the foundation for centuries of prosperity.

This was undoubtedly a critical opportunity for the Galliot family to be reborn in Aiven's hands!

Aiven paused and, looking into the girl's beautiful eyes filled with doubt, said seriously:

"Because nothing is more important than you. No thing is worth risking your life for."

Clearly, this statement touched the emotionally sensitive girl. Hearing this, a layer of mist appeared in Olivia's eyes, and she blurted out:

"Aiven, I've decided. After this battle, we'll go back and..."

She was swiftly silenced by Aiven.

"Girl, while I know you're moved, let's not jinx it at a time like this!"
