833 Secrets of the Gods Part 2 (2/2)

Saleen started reminiscing about how many sunken ships Nailisi and the winged skeleton had fished up from the northern seas, and a great picture began to unfold in his mind. Humanity's invincible armada would have gone north of the plane every year in ancient times, to hunt and to acquire the limitless wealth at the end of the oceans.

The oceanic ice block had been known, even in ancient times, to harbor great wealth of sorts. Out of all four dynasties of the past, only the fourth lacked the power required to hunt there regularly.

In ancient times, every warship in a fleet was made of thundercloud wood. The ships carried either grand swordmasters or sorcerers. Those people were merely the equivalent of sailors of the current age. People died at sea still, despite having so much collective powers, and no ship was guaranteed to be able make such journeys safely.

Saleen's goal was to find the single-horned white whale's cemetery. The wealth there would drive anyone on the plane crazy. It could inspire many to take such wealth for themselves regardless of the price.

”Soldier, see anyone from Alchemy City?”, Saleen was not able to help but asked.

”No, my liege, we have yet to find anyone. When in stealth, our compass would have performed just as well as theirs. It is only a matter of time before we find the cemetery before they do,” the winged skeleton answered confidently.

He relied on more than just the magic compass; he had also unleashed bone spirits. There was one bone spirit following the fleet every five miles, heading towards the oceanic ice block. The bone spirits spread out to form a line about two-hundred miles long behind the fleet. Magic compasses of Alchemy City would never bother picking up such low level creatures, but these bone spirits were able to sense warships of Alchemy City.

”Acknowledged,” Saleen knew that while his navy consisted of warships of Sregl Island design, the Dragon Skeleton Combat Vessel was an exception. The performance of the ship was one that Alchemy City would have never been able to make, even just one ship.

It was also impossible for Alchemy City to scheme alongside the Cloudflow people. Even if Alchemy City was practically ruled by a bunch of selfish mages, they still had a hundred times more pride than Cloudflow people. The Cloudflow people were truly people that would have rendered others speechless. The descendants of the fourth dynasty had practically degenerated into a bunch of baffling creatures.

Taking the grade-9 mage who had declared with pride that he would have gone about harassing Bitterwater prefecture, for example, he had simply went home and hid in Cloudflow. He was never to be seen again, instead of 'keeping his word'.

The losses they suffered at Daliang City might have been massive, but the overall military might still exceeded that of the city they invaded. The Cloudflow invaders have simply retreated though. They left in a very clean and swift manner at that, even exceeding the speed at which they went with their initial assault.

While the Cloudflow people schemed with the Tanggulasi Empire, they did not mention anything about wanting to retrieve Titan Duchy. They had instead acknowledged in silence that the Red River served as the border between two nations.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

If Alchemy City were to scheme with the Cloudflow people, Saleen would not have had to worry much about the force consisting of mages.

Despite Alchemy City having blocked off the Cloudflow people's assault at sea, Saleen believed that Alchemy City had still been pulling punches. Alchemy City had probably also almost forgotten about the last warning. Be it Fycro or Joey, they not act again. Those two grade-10 professionals would not keep watching the sea all the time to help him ward off attacks from Alchemy City.

There had definitely been spies from Alchemy City squatting at the ports of Metatrin City. There were definitely eyes and ears of Alchemy City at sea too. If he was going out to sea to hunt personally, it would be inconceivable to not have ships from Alchemy City tailing them.

There was also a possibility of Alchemy City fielding great numbers of sorcerers to abduct him, and thus acquiring total monopoly over the sea route leading to the oceanic ice block.

Saleen was simply waiting for Alchemy City to make the first move. He wanted to defeat Alchemy City at sea for once, showing how one should not mess with Metatrin City, by using the Dragon Skeleton Combat Vesel.

There were six grade-7 sorcerers, more than thirty grand mages, high level spirits summoned by the winged skeleton, and the powerful demons summoned by Nailisi aboard his ship. Other than that, there was also a grade-9 fallen holy master, two grade-9 summoned creature, and powerful alchemy crossbows, ready to break any elemental magic defenses.

More importantly, Saleen also had the pan's turtle alchemical boat at his disposal. If his enemies proved too powerful, he still would still be able to escape at a moment's notice.

They were in the true sea, with depths exceeding five-thousand yards. Even grade-10 professionals would not have been able to catch up to the pan's turtle alchemical boat. Without any concerns for anything, Saleen had every reason to use himself as bait, to teach Alchemy City a lesson.

”Alchemy City has been too arrogant. They have forgotten, they are not the ones to call the shots on the mainland.”

The fleet was five-thousand miles away from Metatrin City, yet there were no signs of anyone from Alchemy City. Saleen felt that those people might have been a little too patient. Or rather...

”My liege, enemies up front.” The voice of the winged skeleton rang in his mind all of a sudden, prompting him to check the magic image. Spirit gaze sent the image back, which, while in black and white, proved clearer and was able to see further.

There was a huge area shrouded by a cloud shown in the image. Within the cloud, laid the silhouette of a ship. If the ship was to be analyzed by its parts seen in the cloud alone, the ships would have been more than one-thousand yards long.

That was no longer a warship. It was an island moving in the sea.

”That is not a ship from Alchemy City!”, a mage from Sregl Island shouted.
