Chapter 291: Hijack
On the other side.
In the not-so-distant sea, three warships are sailing.
Among them, one is a destroyer with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons. The other two are large frigates of over seven thousand tons. On all three warships, the same flag is flying.
These three warships all hail from the "Radiant." Controlling three warships can be said to be a formidable force. However, there is no sign of the "Radiant Noah’s Ark."
At this moment, on the destroyer. Dwayne, the controller of the "Radiant," is in the command room listening to reports.
Many high-ranking officials have gathered here. However, everyone’s expression is grim. For some reason, we can’t find any fish or seabirds in this vast sea area. This extensive stretch of sea seems to have turned into a lifeless wasteland.
Dwayne’s face is grim, and he angrily asks, "What I want to know is, why is it like this? According to our intelligence, there should be a large number of fish in this sea area! But until now, I haven’t seen a single one!"
This time, their purpose in coming here was to catch fish. But they found nothing. Not knowing what happened, a vast sea area seems to have turned into a lifeless void, as if all kinds of life have evaporated.
Seeing the controller’s anger, the deputy officer is extremely frightened. He stammers and says, "According to the investigation, in the recent period, there have been two mysterious events in the nearby sea areas!"
"Hmm?" Dwayne looks at him in confusion.
The others also perk up their ears.
The deputy officer dares not keep them in suspense and hurriedly explains, "According to our intelligence, not long ago, in the nearby sea areas, two Noah’s Arks disappeared—one was the Deep Blue and the other was the Eternal.
They, along with their escort warships, vanished overnight, and no one knows where they went. All the survivors on board also mysteriously disappeared, whereabouts unknown!"
For a moment, there was a buzz of discussion in the command room.
Noah’s Ark and its escort warships disappeared overnight?
Impossible!
This is no small matter; it’s impossible that no one knows! Dwayne also shook his head.
A paranormal event? Impossible! There must be another reason! Have you investigated? If not, find out immediately for me!
The deputy officer said anxiously, "I have investigated. Some people saw a massive sea monster on the night they disappeared! Comparable to an aircraft carrier! However, many thought it was too bizarre and didn’t believe it!"
Dwayne furrowed his brow slightly, pondering on something. If the mysterious disappearance of the two Noah’s Arks is true. Then, a sea monster the size of an aircraft carrier is not impossible.
In this case, the almost complete disappearance of other fish in the nearby sea areas can also be explained.
Dwayne somewhat understood. Once an extremely powerful life form appears in a certain sea area, other fish will undoubtedly flee as far as they can.
At this moment, someone suddenly rushed in.
Dwayne frowned, looking displeased.
"What’s going on?"
The person quickly said, "Commander, we have discovered new information! The radar shows that not far from us, there is a warship. We sent a drone to investigate and found a destroyer of tens of thousands of tons. Next to the destroyer, there is an unimaginably huge sea monster corpse!"
His words immediately caught the attention of everyone present. Then, Dwayne examined the footage captured by the drone. In the footage, there was a massive destroyer. From the outside, it appeared highly technological.
Apart from that, the most eye-catching thing was the enormous sea monster corpse next to it. At first glance, everyone thought it was a small island. Upon closer inspection, they realized it wasn’t an island but an extremely massive corpse!
"What the heck, what kind of sea monster is that? How can it be so enormous?"
"That warship looks peculiar too; it doesn’t seem ordinary!"
"My goodness, is there really a sea monster this huge in the world? It’s even bigger than an aircraft carrier of a hundred thousand tons!"
The crowd exclaimed in astonishment. It felt unreal. Even Dwayne was slightly shaken.
"Was the sea monster killed by that warship?"
"Unknown. Normally, it’s almost impossible!"
Perhaps initially, there were many warships acting together, and in the end, they were all sunk by the sea monster, leaving only this one!
"That’s a plausible possibility!" The crowd speculated. It was in line with what Dwayne was thinking.
At this moment, looking at the destroyer and the sea monster corpse in the footage, Dwayne suddenly smiled in a strange manner.
"Pass the order, increase the sailing speed, and surround that warship! With a sea monster corpse this massive, the potential level of Source Stones it holds is probably astonishing! If possible, we can persuade the people on that warship to surrender. That way, we can acquire another warship, killing two birds with one stone!"
At his words, the other high-ranking officials on the Radiant couldn’t help but smile.
This was pretty much in line with what they were thinking. They had three warships. In any case, their strength far surpassed the opposition.
Moreover, the other side had just experienced a major battle and suffered heavy losses.
Aren’t they easily controllable now?
On the Invincible, Waldo sneered. When the crew of the Radiant spotted him, he naturally noticed them as well. In fact, he noticed them even earlier.
He didn’t put the Invincible into stealth mode. Because there was no need. He was curious to see what the other side intended to do.
"Very well, they’re heading our way. If they mean trouble, I won’t hold back," Waldo said coldly.
A murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Not long after, the three warships approached the Invincible. At this moment, Dwayne finally saw the full body of the Invincible. At the same time, he also saw the flag flying above.
He didn’t know why, but he felt somewhat familiar with that flag.
Although he hadn’t directly interacted with Waldo before, Waldo’s reputation was so significant that there were pictures of the Dawn everywhere.
Not just him, others also had some impression of that flag.
"Weird, I feel like I’ve seen that flag somewhere, but I’ve forgotten."
"So, you have that feeling too. But I’ve also forgotten where I saw it."
"Maybe because it’s been so long, we’ve all forgotten."
"Quick, let’s look it up."
People discussed fervently.
Seeing this, Dwayne furrowed his brow deeply.
It seemed like this flag was indeed quite famous, to the extent that so many people had seen it before.
Could it be the flag of another major alliance?
If that’s the case, things might get complicated.
Soon, someone found the origin of this flag.
It was the flag of the Dawn!
Upon hearing this, many people were stunned.
The Dawn?
Waldo! The infamous killer Waldo!
"What the heck! It’s actually him! They say he’s a super freak, with many unusual preferences, killing without blinking an eye. His hands are stained with blood! It’s actually him?!"
"No way? Since defeating the United Fleet, Waldo disappeared for several months, almost losing all information about him. I never thought we would encounter him! I don’t even know what to say!"
People were buzzing with discussions.
If it was a few months ago at the beginning, they would have been utterly fearful upon seeing Waldo. Because at that time, Waldo and the Dawn were synonymous with invincibility. However, now, that sense of fear no longer exists.
Because their strength has undergone a tremendous transformation and they can confront Waldo head-on. Not to mention, they have the backing of the League of Gods!
"Waldo?!" Dwayne chuckled, his expression relaxing considerably. "Waldo is just like that. Up to now, he hasn’t joined any faction, just a lone wolf. His era is over; now is the era of the Seven Alliances.
In front of the Seven Alliances, he’s nothing but hot air! If it were warships from other alliances, we’d need to be cautious. But just a Waldo? No need to worry at all!"
Calling out to Waldo, asking him to surrender, otherwise, they won’t be merciful!
"Yes!" someone responded immediately.
Soon, they established contact with the Invincible via radio. The crew of the Radiant was very arrogant. As soon as they spoke, they demanded Waldo’s surrender.
Furthermore, they wanted the sea monster’s corpse handed over to them.
"Our commander said, don’t resist stubbornly! If you surrender now, not only can all of your lives be spared, but Waldo will still be your captain. He might even become part of our Radiant’s high command. However, if you refuse to surrender, not only will everyone be buried, but your warship will also be sunk! Make a wise choice!"
Upon receiving this message, the crew of the Invincible were furious.
Arrogant! You’ll pay the price for your audacity!
"Tell your commander, when Waldo was wreaking havoc, he was still a nobody. Now, in front of us, he’s still a nobody!"
A soldier responded boldly.
Although there were three warships on the other side, no one on the Invincible was afraid. They were well aware of their combat strength. Dealing with these three warships was a piece of cake.
Soon, Waldo got wind of the situation and sneered immediately. "Indeed, these are unfriendly visitors! However, it’s alright; they will soon learn who the real boss is! Everyone, prepare. Warships, activate stealth mode, missiles ready. Let’s sink them!"
Waldo didn’t intend to waste time. Since he knew their intentions, he decided to strike directly. As the saying goes, "The early bird catches the worm."
In no time, following Waldo’s command, all the soldiers and combat robots were in position. The next moment, the Invincible went invisible, disappearing from the radar and the enemy’s view!
Boom!
Seeing the Invincible suddenly vanish, everyone on the Radiant’s destroyer looked stunned. "What the heck happened? How did Waldo’s warship disappear suddenly?"
"I don’t know! I just saw the Invincible a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, it’s gone! What’s going on?"
"Check the radar!"
"The radar is gone too!"
Everyone widened their eyes. Even Dwayne couldn’t believe it. How could a warship vanish suddenly from sight?
The next moment, alarms blared. "Not good! Missile attack!"
A soldier shouted. In the distance, flames soared into the sky, forming fire-breathing dragons. These were missiles, zooming at great speed towards the three warships of the Radiant!
Instantly, panic swept through everyone. The warships’ defense systems unleashed a barrage, attempting to intercept these missiles.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions reverberated through the sky!
