YM778.TV Chapter 534: 534
The fleet that blocked the city’s waterway patrolled on the sea. Half of the city’s people could see the raised sails.
It was not Goethe’s standard, but a warship from various countries.
The empire’s Fanlun warships were luxurious and magnificent, like fortresses on the sea.
The Arcane Magic Council’s frigate was small and exquisite, and it contained the brilliance of magic and knowledge everywhere.
Sunset Moon’s capital ships had both of the first two characteristics. They had the grandeur of a world sea overlord, and as the world’s number one superpower, they constantly improved their military technology. While ensuring their numbers, they were also equipped with a considerable number of advanced magic tactical units.
Beside these three terrifying fleets, the vassal ships were like stars surrounding them.
There was a dragon roaming in the sky.
They maintained their pride in ruling the sky while facing the sharp weapons of the races on the ground that could sail the seas.
At this moment, several powerful sea and air forces gathered and pointed their spears at one place.
That was the distant port that was close at hand.
This pearl city on the west coast of Goethe was already in a state of shock. From nobles and high-ranking officials to child beggars and slave laborers, anyone who could see the scene outside the dock area would know that something was wrong.
The elven navy that had previously wreaked havoc in the distant harbor rushed over, and there were even fleets from the Empire and the Arcane Council fighting alongside them. The situation was clearly worse than before.
Fear would breed rumors.
Port cities were more mixed up than ordinary inland cities. Close trade meant more complicated personnel flows. There were all kinds of people here, people who took money, people who obeyed orders, people who carried special missions, and all kinds of people… And now, they had received the order.
Spreading rumors, spreading fear, inciting hatred, it would be best to incite unrest.
The spies, thieves, spies, and traitors were ordered to stir up the hatred and malice of the people from afar towards Kant as much as possible and to solidify that impression.
It would be best if they caused some big trouble. That would be even better.
It was too simple.
Using fear to incite and spread rumors was too simple.
Deceiving these people from afar was so smooth that it was unbelievable.
Although they were Goethe people, they did not witness the forbidden spell that descended from the sky, nor did they witness Kant killing the Dragon Knight like a chicken. They lacked respect and gratitude towards Kant because they had only heard of his deeds and had never seen it in person. Whether it was fear or respect, they lacked a sense of reality.
However, the fear that pervaded the city at this moment was real.
The fleets of various countries had joined forces to attack, and the dragons roamed the sky. Such a scene easily reminded them of the bloody battle that had just ended, and real fear was born.
True fear could, of course, incite true hatred.
Rumors spread all over the streets and alleys.
They talked about what Kant had done at Qilin’s Horn, about how he had helped Goethe with ulterior motives, and about how he had attempted to hoard the underground treasure for himself. It was because he was a citizen of Aurora and wanted to return to his homeland. How could he stay wholeheartedly with Goethe? After he succeeded, he would use Goethe to attract the anger of the world for him. Then, he would leave calmly, leaving the innocent Goethe people to cry in the flames of war.
They also said that Kant had messed things up. A demonic substance had leaked out, and the fleets of the various countries that had come to the city were there to solve the problem and save the people of Goethe. However, in order to protect Kant, the archduke and Princess Tina would rather let the civilians suffer and die. They would rather let the war break out than allow the armies of the various countries to enter the country.
Under such circumstances, it would be a fool’s dream to count on the intelligence of the masses.
After all, a person’s intelligence would plummet under these three conditions.
When a pie fell from the sky, when a meteorite fell from the sky, when a group of people gathered together.
They cursed Kant and the archduke. They even called for a visit to the governor’s office to plead for the governor to protect the people of Distant Harbor, invite the armies of various countries to enter the country, resolve the disaster, and arrest Kant. They even transferred their hatred for this Skyquaker to the other Skyquakers in Distant Harbor. When the latter heard of Kant’s deeds, they were extremely excited. Some people even defended Kant, which led to unrest and fights.
There was also a large portion of Aurora citizens who consciously drew a clear line between them and Kant.
This conflict was about to turn into bloodshed.
It was sometimes difficult to stir up unrest among the people, but sometimes it was very simple.
Curses, chaos, and even fighting broke out. The instigators laughed smugly behind the shadows, and the instigators clinked their glasses on the observation platform. This was the result the conspirators wanted. They wanted to stir up the Goethe people’s hatred for Kant to the greatest extent and put it into practice. The more they hated Kant and the more extreme the things they did, the greater the hatred and estrangement Kant would have towards them. Things would be easier in the future.
As long as Kant was separated from the country, things would be much easier.
Isn’t it just a princess? We have one too.
But all instructions and actions were limited to instigation and instigation.
No matter what, they couldn’t do it themselves. This was also the tacit understanding of the various countries.
It was one thing for Goethe to be a good-for-nothing, but it was another thing for the other countries to personally participate.
What everyone did not expect was that while they were happily watching the commoners lamentably criticize and destroy the heroes again, the dynasty’s warships on the sea had already slowly moved in and turned.
“Release the magic signal! Prepare to execute the third attack order! The magic device on the ship was pre-activated! The Black Forest will be the first to attack the Goethe Coast Guard Fleet! Readjust the ballistae and load the Split Flame Crystal Cannon. After the magic attack is activated, 20 rapid shots will be fired from the coordinate area to the distant port!”
The captain showed his warrant to the officers.” This is His Majesty’s personal order. It’s an emergency order. The distant port has fallen. Our division is about to be attacked. We must launch an attack first! Everyone, Kant is coming!”
Armory Leader, Magic Shooter, First-class Seafarer…The officers on the ship were only surprised for a moment before they obeyed the order without hesitation. The army was a place with strict hierarchy, and the navy was even more so. Because there were many variables in ships that sailed far away, the authority of the commander had to be magnified and strengthened several times. They were already used to listening to orders.
No one would doubt the loyalty and stance of the captain cum commander.
Moreover, there were also the testimonies of the fleet’s chief of staff and the magic consultant.
The combination of the three was the iron law of no deviation.
The entire fleet would obey.
The order was given and the lower officers led the sailors to do their jobs. The entire fleet began to operate. When the order was given to the soldiers at the lowest level, they would not doubt the accuracy and rationality of the order. They would only obey without hesitation. After all, they were just small parts of the fleet. Their mission was to obey the order, not to think about the consequences of attacking Goethe at this time.
The fleet quietly launched an attack formation.
The magic device on the ship was pre-activated. The ballista array was equipped with special arrowheads, and the magic array on the crossbow arm was activated.
The captain’s eyes flashed with a purple light. His mind had been stolen, but his instincts were still there, and his memory was not lost. He judged the distance, wind direction, timing, and direction, and slowly raised his hand.
At this moment, a bright light flashed in the distance.
Then, the observer on the mast observation platform shouted,”Emergency! The elven fleet has issued a hostile ultimatum to us! It was an attack-grade Elemental Illumination! The enemy’s magic attack platform has been launched!”
Before the captain could respond, the observer had already activated the emergency mechanism. Blazing light shot into the sky from the observation platform, illuminating the sea. All the warships of the Fourth Division could be seen clearly.
This was the highest warning of a delay in action and a major change.
It was indeed an unexpected situation.
The observer was not the most senior officer on the warship, but he played an extremely important role, especially the observer of the flagship. If necessary, he could bypass the captain and send an early warning message to the entire fleet. Because the war was unpredictable, the opportunity was fleeting, and there was no time to go back and forth on the command link.
However, he was not an officer at the decision-making level.
The mutated dragon did not have the time, luxury, or opportunity to control everyone on this ship.
Therefore, in an instant, the situation changed. Even the dragons hidden in the cabins and the controlled captain did not have time to react. The observer’s signal was sent to the entire fleet. Immediately, the observation platforms of the warships lit up with magical light, reminding all the sailors that an even more urgent situation had occurred.
There was no problem with this logic and judgment.
Compared to Distant Harbor, where the navy was in tatters and the city had just experienced war, the Twilight Moon Fleet, which was close at hand and had issued a hostile warning, was the greatest threat. Everyone knew what to do.
In the next moment, the elves ‘ultimatum echoed in the sea along with the omnipresent sea breeze.
” To the Fourth Fleet of the Human Empire. By the order of the sacred and great Phoenix King, we request that your fleet immediately stop the pre-attack against Goethe. Otherwise, we will take decisive measures to stop the possible massacre and atrocities to prevent the outbreak of war again.”
” This isn’t a request or a persuasion, but an order and a warning. You short-lived creatures should know the value of life and not slaughter the innocent. If you insist on doing so, Twilight Moon will respond with war. Your empire will face the combined attack of Twilight Moon and the Forbidden Spell Mages. Your fleet will bear all responsibility for the consequences.”
This voice was shouted in the common language of the human race. It traveled with the wind and swept across the sky.
Every soldier could hear it clearly.
Almost at the same time, they stopped what they were doing. They were hesitant and even afraid.
Because they were elves.
Even the emperor would consider the elves ‘warning carefully.
Not to mention these ordinary soldiers.
” Will it work?” Lily asked, holding the railing on the flagship.
“This is all the elves can do.”
Horus stood beside her, scanning the dynasty fleet in the distance with his electronic eyes.” The people of the dynasty may be fanning the flames in the city, but they would never dare to attack Goethe directly. There is only one reason for such abnormal behavior, and that is that their commander has been controlled by a mysterious element…” Unfortunately, even if we know about this and have enough evidence, we still can’t do anything…Not even elves.”
It was said that the leader of the dynasty’s fleet had already been controlled by the mutated dragon.
What else could he do?
Send fleets to besiege? Attack the ship and kill the controlled person?
Doing such an action against the fleet of a world sovereign power was no different from declaring war. Even the Phoenix King would not easily give such an order.
Moreover…
Horus turned his head and looked in the direction of the bridge.
Moreover, the Phoenix King was not here.
“It’s already the Elven Royal Family’s prestige that can make these elves listen to our suggestion.” The Transformers said,” It’s a fool’s dream to make them take the initiative to attack.”
” What should we do then?” Lily gritted her teeth.
“Wait.”
“Wait for what?”
“When the situation develops…We can only wait now.”
Horus said slowly,” Those mutated dragons shouldn’t be able to sense each other’s situation. The elves cooperated with us to take care of one here, but the one on the empire’s side didn’t react at all.”
” It controls the center of the dynasty’s fleet and uses it to give orders. It’s a brilliant idea, but it obviously doesn’t have the chance to control everyone. The fleet’s attacks are still carried out by the dynasty’s inherent marine military command system. There are good and bad situations. The good thing is that it only needs to control a few authoritative commanders to give orders to the fleet. The bad thing is…The naval system of the Empire is still operating on its own.”
” Middle and lower-level officers have independent consciousness and self-judgment.”
” Therefore, its attempt to manipulate the dynasty’s fleet to attack Goethe and cause chaos was foiled.”
“This is a temporary victory.”
“Then we can only wait… This level of stalemate is already the best news.”
Lily frowned.” But the Arcane Magic Council and even the dragon army haven’t been resolved yet. The crisis still exists. This…”
” Don’t be greedy,” Horus said.” It’s already a pleasant surprise to be able to gain the support of the elves. We’ve done everything we can. Now, we can only wait.”
“What are we waiting for?”
“Of course…” ” Wait for Father to come back,” the Transformer said in a deep voice.
Matron Long felt anxious. Being forced to leave when Kant was at his most dangerous and uncontrollable moment had already become the biggest knot in her heart. If she left when Kant was fighting in pain, she would not even be able to handle the matters on the surface. How would she face Kant’s disappointed gaze then?
“Think of a way to do something!”
” What if these mutated dragons can’t hold it in any longer before Kant returns?” she said angrily.” They’ll reveal their true forms and start a massacre. They’ll spread the mysterious elements and attack Distant Harbor…” Then what should we do?”
“That’s good news,” Horus replied without hesitation.
“.. What did you say?”
“I said that if they did, that would be great news.”
“Why?”
Long Niang realized that she was getting dumber and dumber…It must be Kant’s fault.
Whenever she thought of him, her heart was in a mess, and her mind could not hold anything else.
Horus was about to answer when he suddenly saw a violent flash from the Imperial fleet. He turned around abruptly, and the high-definition optical sensor crossed the ocean to see what was in the distance.
Purple mist spread out as the Aberrant Giant Dragon spread its corrosive wings and roared, spitting out spores and poisonous fog.
“Oh no!” Lily cried out.
“Good!” Horus shouted.
“.. What’s so good about it!”
“Do you still not understand?” ” Father won!” The voice of the Transformers was filled with uncontrollable joy.
Before Lily could react, he snapped,” Elf! As I said, as you can see, long-lived species, for your own sake, prepare to fight!”
In the world constructed by springs and gears, on the vast platform and huge pedestal, the dragon’s wails and screams gradually weakened, from madness to curses, curses to pleas, and from pleas to calm down.
Tracey’s body finally crumpled into a ball.
He begged Kant to spare his life. He made countless promises, from friendship to wealth, from wealth to loyalty, from loyalty to his soul, and Kant merely pointed at him.
The mutated dragon that had betrayed everything turned into a gust of wind and left.
Tracis sacrificed six of his companions along the way and obtained all the essence that the last six Light-Negative Beings had accumulated by devouring the black beasts. At that moment, the power of the source turned into a purple rainbow and flowed into the Paragon Engine, repeating the cycle with Asha’s power.
The final sacrifice of the Light Beings ignited the shining star and opened the final legacy of the previous era.
Amidst the rumbling sound, three rings revolved endlessly, engraved with mysterious patterns that restrained the power of origin. The nebula at the core of the Paragon Engine shone brightly, surging with unimaginable terrifying power.
It was a substance that surpassed this world, a light that surpassed this world.
Kant reached out and pressed on the base of the Paragon Engine. The gorilla did the same.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. A wonderful rhythm flowed in each other’s hearts.
“Kant…”
Ah Xing muttered,”I feel…” It’s so strange. It’s very familiar, but also unfamiliar. I can see strange words, complicated pictures, and some things that look like guns…”
Kant looked at her with a complicated expression before he sighed slowly.
Then, the entire world began to shake. Countless gigantic gears spun and interweaved in the Void. The world shifted, morphing and reforming. The island-like platform flipped and straightened, extending forward. At the end of the dark void was a slowly opening dimensional door.
“What’s that?” Ah Xing asked in surprise.
Kant smiled in realization.” This world wants us to leave.”
“Are we going back?” Ah Xing immediately cheered up. Where was Lily? Then let’s go now! To be honest, Kant, I feel very uncomfortable here. Yes, it’s that kind of…It was very boring, very dry, and he really wanted to escape…
So let’s go quickly?”
Kant nodded.” First, we have to take the Paragon Engine with us. The good news is that I can now communicate with the White Fog World in this independent plane with the Paragon Engine’s power. The bad news is that if I take the Paragon Engine into the White Fog World, the plane will immediately begin to suppress and expel the White Fog World. It seems to have pointed out a solution. If I’m not wrong, then…”
Ah Xing listened for a while and then showed a headache.
“Who would understand what you’re saying? Just tell me what to do,” she shouted.
Kant looked at the intertwining void. The two ends of the huge platform were erected. In the middle was a corridor in the void, and at the end of the corridor was an open Space Gate. It was like a sea route.
“What I mean is…”
“We might need a ship,” he said with a smile.

[PS 1: Upgraded!] Five thousand words! A big wave will come tomorrow!
[P.S. 2: When I wrote this chapter, I wrote ” the allied fleets of various countries attacked together.” When I wrote it, I wrote ” the allied fleets of various countries attacked together.” After I finished writing it, I felt that it was wrong, so I changed it…] Sigh, it’s all your fault. Now, I feel that some ordinary words are strange. I can’t go back.
