Chapter 135: Chapter 129: Legend
The port in Nasir Town was simply too small; most of the warships of Cyart headed to the White Sea and the Aphotic Sea set sail from Phelps Port in the Southern East Coast Province.
The Four Towns region was located in the northeastern part of the East Coast Province, while Fein City, Zeya Town, and Sunrise Lake were in the middle region of the East Coast Province.
Phelps Port was the core of the Southern East Coast Province and also the second largest port of the Cyart Kingdom. In recent years, due to its geographical advantages, it had rapidly developed, vaguely taking the form of an emerging city.
It wouldn’t take many years for Phelps Port to become the second East Coast city beside Fein City, and it’s not impossible for it to surpass Fein City in the future.
Although Phelps Port had many good aspects, there was one that was very unfavorable for the Fischer family: the local noble family was the Eagle clan.
The longstanding struggle between the Eagle and the Lion was now widely known, even among the common folk of the East Coast.
The allies and supporters of both sides were being assassinated by their enemies, and the situation was escalating dangerously, making everyone feel unsafe.
Backing the Eagle was Earl Hovern, the East Coast Governor, and the Hovern family, whereas the Lion was supported by the Romann family, second only to the Royal Family, and the towering Duke Black Iron at the pinnacle of national power.
The influence of the Hovern family within the country was far less than that of the Romann family, yet the Romann family had very little sway in the East Coast Province, and they did not focus on this side at all, hardly offering distractions to aid the Lion clan.
The Fischer family brought along a total of 120 soldiers, most of them were restructured family guards, and a small part who handled miscellaneous chores consisted of temporarily recruited personnel.
The warm sea breeze blew over, and a vast blue ocean stretched out to the distant horizon, meeting the white sky.
Around them, one ship after another gradually set out to sea, as they boarded an alchemical Type-7 battle barque rented from the Lion clan and gazed up at the blue skies and seas of Phelps Port.
“It’s huge! This port is really massive!”
Chris’s deputy for dirty work, the tall Archibald, expressed his joy and excitement with a beaming face.
He looked towards Chris and couldn’t help shouting out,
“Phelps Port is so much bigger than Nasir Town! It feels just as good as Fein City! Someday, Nasir will develop like this too, right?”
“Chris, if the Fischer family has money in the future, should we contribute to expanding the port of Nasir? I bet it would be super profitable!”
Chris remained silent, completely ignoring Archibald’s endless chatter.
In fact, when he was looking for a deputy from the orphanage, he had wanted someone who could speak for him so that he wouldn’t have to make the effort himself.
However, Chris had not anticipated that Archibald would be such a chatterbox, never stopping.
Yeager, Mormir, Savoie, Inna, the four Blood Receivers from Daybreak Orphanage, and Moore Shelby, the head of the Dagger Brotherhood, did not participate in this war because the Fischer family did not want their acquisition of extraordinary powers to be exposed to the world.
From now on, the Fischer family would not have many new Extraordinary Exponents in public, partly to avoid drawing attention and partly to allow them to act in secret for the family.
Members of the Fischer family with extraordinary power, including the Abbot knight family, Knight Verne family, and Elder Aaron of the silver descendants clan, had all come.
Within the family, the only Extraordinary Exponent left in Nasir Town with the children was Vanessa.
Because she was pregnant.
After getting married, Chris often took Vanessa to various places around the town for secret “entertainment” day and night, ensuring no one would notice their actions.
At first, Vanessa was quite resistant, afraid of being seen, but later she grew accustomed to it.
Fortunately, Chris was very skilled at concealment, and their activities had never been discovered, making them increasingly bold.
With the youthful vitality of the young couple, it didn’t take long for Vanessa to get pregnant.
Through the “healing” runes, Irene could vaguely sense that Vanessa was carrying twins.
In total, there were eleven Extraordinary Exponents from the Fischer family participating in the war, with the main combatants being Byrne and Chris, of course. Irene, too, carefully carried a sacred object with her, serving as a hidden trump card.
The alchemical Type-7 battle barque gradually moved away from Phelps Port and soon entered the White Sea.
The White Sea was the safest and largest of the Claud World’s Nine Seas, located to the east of the Ouden Continent, with an area nearly as vast as the continent itself.
Countless islands of all sizes were scattered across the White Sea, mostly inhabited by human beings and Winged Folk on the inhabitable islands, who generally lacked civilized upbringing and were fierce and violent in nature.
Many island residents would be wiped out in the struggle for resources, and successors would gradually multiply a new population, only to continue the cycle of killing with newcomers, a loop that had never been broken.
In the heyday of the Sea God Cult a thousand years ago, they had a tremendous force in the White Sea, with numerous Monarch Level powerhouses, and even a terrifying being who had reached the Heavenly Enlightenment Level.
