Chapter 442: Heavenly Wolf Palace
A total of five ships, all with different shapes and sizes.
No propeller, no sails, and a very wide deck. At the top was a very tall building…… These ships were massive, but one of them was clearly on a league of its own.
The largest one was enough to rival modern aircraft carriers, sailing on the surface of the sea like a huge fortress.
At the bow of the largest ship stood a ten meters high statue with the shape of an enchanting woman. The glossy long black hair spilled onto her back, but the lower half of the body looked like a fishtail, coiled into an arc.
Several smaller ships also had the same statue, but not as huge.
At this time
A man wearing a black crane cloak, with two dark red long knives hanging from his waist, with a cold face and abyssal eyes, was standing next to the ten-meter-high statue, looking out at the horizon.
“Daxia country, how far is it ……”
“Lord Nishimura, at our current speed, we expect to see the coastline of the Daxia country in just over an hour.”
“By then, under your leadership, my lord, we can build our own homeland and create our glorious empire again.”
A woman, who looked like a female secretary, bowed with a face full of respect.
The man in front of him, Kamito Nishimura, was famous in Sakura and was known as the “Infinite Swordsman” because he had the best dual blade fighting style and had killed countless enemies. He founded the “Heavenly Wolf Palace” and integrated several major forces in the nine dome islands.
“…… If it weren’t for the Leviathan attack, perhaps, you, my lord, would have already unified the entire Nine Dome and pointed your sword at this land.”
Nishimura’s expression did not change, quietly looking out to sea, expressionless.
Quietly, he said, “The island of Nine Dome, after all, is too small and too barren. Only the vast land of Daxia is what I long for.”
“This island is also the same, invaded by sea beasts all the time. We have a few giant ships from the Fourth Age to cross the ocean to get out of the predicament. The other might not be as fortunate, even those superpowers of this island, in my opinion, can only be trapped on that island, and one day will encounter the ‘Leviathan’ and thus killed.”
Nishimura’s tone was calm.
A month or so ago, he was at the ninth-level awakened, although strong, but not without opponents.
Until he incidentally entered the secret realm of “Kugawa Kingdom”.
Nishimura happened to see several people with withered faces struggling to crawl out of the container when he mistakenly entered the secret realm - so he decisively killed several fourth-age awakeners and took the entire secret realm for himself.
Not only did he obtain seven giant runic ships, but he also possessed countless technologies related to giant ships, blueprints and even swallowed a Life Saint Fruit, which allowed him to break through and reach thirteenth-level great perfection in one go.
Since then, Nishimura has no equal, and the wilderness was no longer a dangerous place for him. Even if it was a disaster-level demonic beast, it was no match for him, and he could easily escape or kill it.
However, a week ago, the deep sea beast Leviathan appeared. Its body was bigger than an aircraft carrier, and its tentacles swept through the large naval base and turned it into dust.
The wound made by the energy cannon made by the “Heavenly Wolf Palace” on the Leviathan was insignificant compared to the beast itself, and countless sea beasts under its command poured onto the land.
Relying on the main ship’s rune permafrost cannon and the bow mermaid statue that made the sea beasts retreat, they managed to break out after losing a secondary ship.
After their several days of voyage at sea, they lost a secondary ship. Now, only five rune giant ships remained. However, it was not long before they arrived in Daxia Country offshore. This country was far less dangerous than the deep sea beast, Leviathan…… Nishimura was confident.
The female secretary also looked excited, “You are right, my lord. The island of nine domes is too barren for us to build giant rune ships, but Daxia Country has a long history, and we may be able to build more advanced rune giant ships using their technology, then maybe we will be able to defeat the Leviathan.
The technology of the Fourth Age is so powerful! It must have been the strongest era in the history of our planet, but I don’t know what happened in the middle, but those technologies were completely gone.
But now, my lord, you have received the inheritance of the fourth era. This must be the world’s choice. Under your leadership, we will definitely be able to build more rune giant ships, and one day can conquer the whole sea and even the whole world!”
The giant ship rode the wind and waves, and on the huge statue at the bow of the ship, invisible fluctuations spread in all directions.
The waves that were churning suddenly subsided as the ship sailed by and the sea beasts that sensed the movement turned a corner and swam elsewhere.
……
“In the fourth era, the ocean was also very dangerous. The early human has traces of transcendent existence, but there are more transcendent level sea beasts than that of a human. In the middle of the fourth era, human transcendent gradually disappears. However, in the sea, they remain hidden in the depth of the abyss.”
After glancing at the cards in his hand and throwing down three aces, Yan Dingtian continued, “Now that I think about it, those horrible legends should be caused by the transcendent sea beasts. Transcendent’s life span is long, and those beasts… much longer than humans, from the beginning of the fourth era and still alive until the middle of the era… or maybe until the end of that era.”
Tang Yu frowned and asked, “The three powers are world-class countries, but you can’t transport goods by land, right? Or is it that the three powers have equipped every ocean-going ship with a high-powered polygonal cannon? Even so, it is still dangerous to face the sea beasts of the transcendent class, not to mention the cost of transportation.”
Yan Dingtian shook his head, “The three major countries, as well as certain small countries with advanced maritime transport, all know how to make a kind of bow statue that can repel sea beasts, as well as guaranteeing the accuracy of navigation. Even if it is a deep-sea beast, generally as long as they do not anger it, they will not attack the ships equipped with bow statues.”
Tang Yu rubbed his chin.
‘The bow statue repelled the sea beasts.’
‘I always felt that it was a sign that seemed to tell the sea beasts that the ship was “protected”, it seemed… to be related to the sea spirit.’
He learned about it from the spirit deity that spirits have sheltered humans from ancient times.
“Quite advanced technology, ah… I want it!” Tang Yu stroked his chin.
In that era, the most elite commercial institutions always traded their materials from a country or places far from their territory, and air transport was their choice of transportation. The usual airplane was enough to defend against flying beasts, to ensure the safety of their materials…… and the transcendent army of the three countries ensured that there would be no demonic beast that would attack their trade vessel. Even if the sea beast approaches the coast, it will be slaughtered by the three countries’ army, but that’s only if the beasts are approaching the coast. Not many of those commercial institutions have the guts to use sea transport as their way to transport materials because the three countries’ power doesn’t reach the sea.”
Tang Yu thought about it.
‘It’s necessary to build the ship first if you want to travel through the sea.’
‘The cost might not be cheaper than building an airplane, and it took much more time to build.’
‘Only a country that cannot build an airplane chose the sea.’
But … the romance of the sea voyage was one of the reasons that Tang Yu was interested in building a ship. Unfortunately, not many countries have mastered ship bow-like technology in the fourth era, at least not in Nanlin province.
