Chapter 684 - Bloody Sea 1 (2/2)

“According to the scout ship’s report, the flagship of the Symphonia royal family was hung on the center of their fleet.”

“What? Was it confirmed?”

Fernando jumped out of the sea.

It was because the report was too startling.

The fact that the royal family flag was hung means the King himself decided to come.

In other words, it was said that Luke de Rakan, the man who humiliated him was directing the fleet.

“Is that really confirmed?”

“Yes, it was said that they checked it several times with the telephoto items.”

“Huhuhu, this is so good!”

A deep smile struck Fernando’s mouth.

He wasn’t sure about what kind of confidence Luke came out to the battle, but it seemed like a proper chance to get revenge.

‘If I catch him here, my revenge plan will end very easily!’

He had no intention of letting Luke go.

Fernando, who was determined, gave orders to Nathan.

“Maximize the speed of our fleet. We are going to hit them back a lot faster than we planned.”

“Your Majesty, the speed we are heading is the highest. Anything higher than our current speed will put a strain on the magic steam engine. Then in case of a battle, the engine might not function properly.”

At Duke Nathan’s words, Fernando pressed his eyes shut.

“It can’t be done… but it isn’t like we can’t get our plan done.”

“True. However, victory or defeat in the battle is all based on the direction of the warheads, and the direction of the war will determine the fate of the nation. An unfortunate death can happen in any place, we need to be as prepared as possible.”

“You aren’t wrong, but I think it is the right decision. It is hard to take down Luke.”

Luke was known to be the continent’s strongest Rune Knight.

Being very knowledgeable in magic and sword, he led the magical engineering of the Symphonia Kingdom and created a great number of excellent Gigants which were being sold to other nations such as Gaius and Orion.

In addition, many talented wizards were known to have been recruited and trained.

There was a high chance that the wizards trained would be used in the current war.

“Duke, as you know Symphonia’s magic is far superior to our skill. When we are in the sea, those men could be looking down on us with their wizard skills.”

“That, Your Majesty’s words could be right.”

Grenada, which was branded as the pirate nation in the continent, hadn’t made much progress in magical engineering.

The value of the wizards turned too important that wizards were being recruited for dangerous tasks.

“So we need to act quickly, especially since they haven’t noticed us yet.”

“But what is… well, I’ll send the orders to the other ships.”

Nathan, who was about to disagree, saw the frown on Fernando’s fleet and gave up.

The reason he tried to disagree at first was because he thought that the royal flag could be a trick to lure them in.

The scouts said that they only saw the flag on the ship, but none of them said anything about seeing Luke de Rakan on board.

It seemed very much like a well-devised scheme knowing the impatient side of Fernando, and there was nothing more embarrassing than being taken down in the sea.

‘However, our enemy’s location is in the middle of the sea and has some distance from Gregg Island. It wouldn’t be a huge deal if we attack from all sides.’

The reason Nathan decided to make the decision along with Fernando was because of Margareta, who slaughtered the Grenada King and enchanted him with her magic.

Because of her brainwashing, he was bound to obey Fernando’s words, and he was unable to carry out his own decisions like before
