My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 610 - 439: Alice’s Mad Return
He brought detailed information about World No. 16 and took Lin Ke’Er away to protect her. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Through the materials brought by the Exploration Bureau, Shen Sui confirmed that World No. 16 was the game world from his memories, and the legendary sleeping Grand Duke Grafa was his character.
Afterwards, a few peaceful days passed, during which Shen Sui basically went to the aerial duel platform every day to duel, helping Bu Mingrui test the platform’s stability while also satisfying his own addiction.
Shen Sui originally thought that after leaving Juhai City, Alice would sail smoothly all the way to Dragon Island.
However, when Shen Sui saw the records on the Dueling Device, he almost couldn’t hold his teacup steady.
Alice did indeed head straight for Dragon Island after leaving Juhai City, as Shen Sui had imagined, but not as smoothly as he expected.
Watching the string of events on the screen, Shen Sui fell into deep thought.
Just what did Alice do to trigger so many events for him?
Shen Sui slid the Dueling Device screen, wanting to see what Alice had gotten herself into this time.
[Alice piloted the Dawn, leaving Juhai City.]
[Alice encountered a storm.]
[Alice’s Wind Elemental Fairy gained strength from the storm.]
[Ding! Your Follower Card has gained a new alternate art: Wind Elemental Fairy · Storm]
[Alice activated the array of the Dawn, absorbing the storm’s power.]
[The Dawn can now unleash storms over the sea.]
[Ding! You’ve acquired a Spell Card: Storm]
[Alice placed her Wind Elemental Fairy at the core array of the Dawn, giving it the power to draw energy from the environment.]
[The Dawn began to develop its own consciousness.]
[Ding! You’ve obtained the Follower Card: Magic-guided Battleship · Dawn]
Up to this point, it seemed rather normal, just a typical storyline of a protagonist encountering a fortuitous event during an outing.
But then the plot started to get strange.
Just as Alice got through the storm, she plunged straight into a pirate fleet.
And this pirate fleet was coincidentally the one planning to attack Alice in Juhai City.
At this point, Shen Sui realized that in the vast seas of the Dawn Continent, there existed countless maritime forces, among which seven pirate fleets tightly held control over the seas, known as the Seven Warlords of the Sea (Laugh).
Alice had actually already encountered one of these seven pirate fleets before, which was the reason she attacked Juhai City, the one supported by the Church of the Master of Thunder.
The fall of Juhai City had now become a huge news story, being sung across the whole ocean, with slogans like "Hozerville is the king of these seas" being shouted.
This made other self-proclaimed powerful pirate fleets uneasy, deciding they wanted to confront Alice.
Of course, Alice couldn’t possibly take a large fleet with her to Dragon Island, so when she collided with the fleet named the Overlord Pirate Gang, she only had the Dawn with her.
She planned to use an old trick, pretending to be a small pirate hoping to gain fame by joining the Overlord Pirate Gang in their quest to defeat Hozerville.
However, she didn’t expect that there was no simple force surviving in these seas.
The Overlord Pirate Gang’s leader easily saw through Alice’s disguise.
Alice originally didn’t want to make trouble, since Claude had already sternly criticized her for causing unnecessary complications.
But since the other side struck first, Alice had no choice but to retaliate.
She used the array of the Dawn to stir up a storm in the seas.
The storm engulfed the fleet of the Overlord Pirate Gang.
Besides the Dawn, crafted entirely from Floating Phoenix Wood and meticulously carved by Vivian, there’s basically no ship in this world that could emerge unscathed from such a powerful storm.
Blown by the sudden storm, the majority of the Overlord Pirate Gang’s ships lost their combat capability, and the few that remained intact were easily defeated by Alice.
[Alice was in a hurry.]
[Alice rejected the pirates’ surrender.]
[Alice sank all of the Overlord Pirate Gang’s ships.]
[The Overlord Pirate Gang was annihilated.]
And this marked the beginning of Alice’s mad return journey to Dragon Island.
The assault on Juhai City was such a big event that countless forces at sea were hoping to make something out of it.
From the moment Juhai City fell, the entire ocean turned into chaotic turmoil.
Despite having eliminated the Overlord Pirate Gang, Alice hadn’t sailed far before she collided head-on with the fleet from the Roland Empire, planning to reclaim the "lost territory" in Juhai City.
This was a formal navy, whose strength was far beyond what the Overlord Pirate Gang could compare to.
However, Alice, aside from having the identity of Hozerville, was also the acting Pope of the Church of the Master of Thunder! And she was officially recognized by the Master of Thunder as the Pope!
With the Church of the Master of Thunder effectively ruling the Roland Empire at the time, naturally, important naval forces like this one contained priests loyal to the Master of Thunder.
Thus, Alice planned to present the Pope’s token, hoping to bypass them.
Unexpectedly, the Thunder Priest in this fleet turned out to be from the faction that opposed Alice becoming Pope.
