Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 704 - 605 Confrontation_2

Therefore, this battle will not drag on, and the fate of Ilya will also be decided in one battle.

Suddenly, a sneaky voice sounded in Aiven's ear:

"Aiven, hehe..."

The "Mind Network" had already enveloped the entire fleet as usual, granting the main officers secondary communication rights, allowing them even to use [Telepathy] privately before the battle for mutual exchanges.

Among the six quasi-legendary battleships, the "Storm Horn" was flanked by the fleet flagship "Brilliance" on the right and his old friend the Phaletis Kingdom's "Royal Guard" on the left.

"Bertram, with the great battle impending, what are you up to?"

Recognizing it was Bertram Solomon's voice, Aiven responded irritably. If it weren't for the fact that the Phaletis Kingdom was considered half the financial backer of this large-scale military operation, he wouldn't even bother with this guy with ulterior motives.

Having suffered a massive loss once, the Netherlands Bank Group could not possibly miss the opportunity for revenge against their arch-enemy Hawkins. Upon learning about this operation, they supported Phaletis and the alliance with substantial military funds.

Nevertheless, the alliance could vaguely sense the deeply hidden observational mentality of the Netherlands. After all, in terms of assets, who in the entire world of human civilization can match them? If Hawkins weren't on the opposite side, who these big bankers would choose to support in the end was really uncertain.

"We are all good friends. It's been three years since we last met. Can't we just catch up for no reason? Miss Anita, don't you agree? That... I wonder if I would have the honor to invite you to dinner after this battle?

Ilya's grilled sardines, seafood rice, Ilya-style roast suckling pig, and smoked ham are all famous delicacies."

The noble young master with an epicurean trait was obviously not interested in wine, using Aiven as an excuse, and half a sentence had already drawn him to Anita.

Obviously, even after many years, he still couldn't forget the strong Female Knight who once saved him from the gigantic sea monster "Iron Armor Sea Horse". Upon discovering that she was actually Aiven's sister, he figuratively jumped three feet high.

Regardless, this self-assured guy sincerely believed among all the unmarried individuals here, in terms of family, capability, and sincerity, none surpassed him, except Aiven.

Glancing sideways at Solomon standing on the stern of the adjacent ship, it was the scorn from the Pirate King, indifferently spitting out a sentence: "Not interested, men only slow down my sword drawing speed."

When Anita returned to the New Continent to take over the "Dragon Cavalry", she already had the strength equivalent to a Tier 3 Senior. Now she has finally reached the level of Senior Dragon Vein, and her attributes are almost not inferior to a Tier 3 Peak of normal humans.

Combined with the [Activated Skin: Upper Sea Emperor Dragon], even a Tier 4 encounter wouldn't be a problem in a short period.

After three years, under the training of the Solomon Clan, a millennium-old wizard clan, the now thirty-one-year-old Bertram Solomon had already achieved the strength of a Peak Official Wizard, but he still paled in comparison to Anita.

"Miss Anita, I..."

Not quite willing to give up, he wanted to try harder.

Woo woo woo...

The mighty wind suddenly rose.

A thunderous bellow burst from above this sea area:

"Ghoul Pickman, come forward and die!"

A golden lightning from the "Alliance Fleet" shot straight to the sky, while the crowned demon "Taunting Tunnel Forager" Pickman from the "Republic Fleet" defiantly soared upwards as well.

Rumble...

Subsequently, along with the rolling thunder in the sky, fluttering frost and snow began to fall.

The battle at the Tier 4 Transcendent level was enough to affect the sky phenomenon.

In the Tulip Alliance, currently ranked first is the Phaletis Kingdom possessing the Kingdom Guardian: "Glory of Splendor" the Lion Heart Duke, and the "Rose Sword Saint" Ilvendi; ranked second is Tyrone Kingdom with the "Thunderbolt Halberd" Augustus;

The Tulip Duchy (Church Country) combining politics and religion has no dedicated Titled Knight; Paros Kingdom has the "Hand of God" Grover, who simultaneously holds the identities of the founder of the Fourth Dynasty of Paros and the Church's Divine Favor Knight; Thessaly Kingdom has the "Wrestling with Bear" Anthony.

Of course, all the Titled Knights of the Tulip Countries who advanced relying on the [Magic Potion: Seven Gods Ladder] essentially belong to the Goddess, embodying her ruling power in the mortal world.

Moreover.

Apart from Ilya's "Tempest Tide", there are still five Kingdom Guardians left. Although both "Glory of Splendor" and "Wrestling with Bear" are significantly younger than "Tempest Tide", they belong to the same era and are no longer fit to leave the capital casually for high-intensity battles.

Since the Titled Knights, being the pinnacle of power, concern the national foundation of the countries, it can be said that the current situation of the Tulip Alliance is one of defensive abundance but offensive deficit. Even though the number of titled knights is comparable to Hilus, they still remain at an absolute disadvantage.

As the two peak fighters commenced combat in the sky.

The customary fleets of both sides were slowly approaching. The main fleet of the Republic side employed standard line tactics, while a large number of three-masted fast ships gathered at both ends, attempting to take advantage of pirate specialties by boarding amid chaos.

As the Fleet Commander, Major General Demong Brand simultaneously issued orders to the entire fleet:

"Order: The whole fleet advance in double column to cut through them!"

At the same time.

The flagship "Brilliance" suddenly burst with radiant light, numerous rune techniques depicted on the hull and sails converged into one, forming a massive golden light ball on the ship's figurehead shaped like a long spear at the bow, darkening the sunshine over this sea area.

[Extraordinary Ability: Sun Spear]

A beam of light transformed into a blazing Sun Spear, carrying an intense heat seemingly capable of boiling the sea, shot forth towards the opposing "Eternal Imprisonment Sacred Statue," the flagship of the Republic Fleet.

This strike was by no means weak even among actual Legendary Battleships, only its excessive cooling time was highly limiting, and it could only be launched once, even during the midsummer after half a month's accumulation of solar energy.

Hawkins, donning an admiral's uniform, standing on the stern, laughed recklessly and lightly raised his hand.

Clatter...

A gigantic dark blue warship, comparable in size to a Level 1 Battleship, suddenly shattered the ocean surface, emerging with gigantic bubbles from beneath the sea, standing before the "Eternal Imprisonment Sacred Statue."

Whoosh—

Soundlessly, the hull seemed to vaporize, directly rupturing at the waterline, creating a several-meter-diameter hole, welcoming the raging influx of seawater.

But before the alliance could react.

As seawater flooded in, the ship's body started to rapidly restore, showcasing the [Legendary Battleship: Sea Soul]'s attribute— "Sea Flow Homogeneity."

"Without bringing a Legendary Battleship, your defeat is already predetermined! Hmm?"

While Hawkins was about to manipulate the [Sea Soul] to launch a counterattack, he suddenly noticed an emerald-like butterfly stealthily flitting past the corner of his eye.

Then came a second, a third...
