The sea around Cage Island had also been dyed black at some point in time. It was so black that it looked like thick ink. The huge waves that were set off were also like moving black mountain ranges that seemed to be connected to the sky. They tumbled and smashed into the surface of the sea, emitting deafening rumbling sounds.
However, that was only the beginning. Immediately afterwards, the scouts saw the lightning that was jumping around in the clouds in the sky suddenly converging as if they had received some instructions. In the blink of an eye, the sky above Cage Island turned into a blood-colored pool of lightning. Before the people of the Gilded Kingdom could react, blood-colored thunderbolts that emitted a violent and bloody aura had already blasted down from the sky.
It was as if Cage Island had been bombarded. Blood-colored thunderbolts fell like raindrops, blasting the ground and causing the entire island to shake. The Legendary-mages were even turned into ashes in an instant. The Legendary-mages' magic shields were as fragile as paper in the face of the blood-colored thunderbolts, and they couldn't even buy them a tenth of a second.
Seeing that the blood-colored thunderbolts that were continuously falling had wiped out half of the Legendary-mages in their team in the blink of an eye, the Sanctuary powerhouse of the Gilded Kingdom finally took action. Of course, the scouts who were spying in the distance did not know that it was a Sanctuary powerhouse. It wasn't until they sent all the information back that the leaders of the forces found out that there was actually a Sanctuary powerhouse participating in the Gilded Kingdom's operation this time.
The Sanctuary powerhouse who participated in the Gilded Kingdom's operation this time was Elder Zumar, who was ranked fourth among the 10 elders of the Illuminati. He was one of the elders who had followed the priest to the Gilded Kingdom to preach the doctrine back then. Hence, his status in the Illuminati was far above that of Elder Jorre. That was also the reason that Cantory, Elder Jorre, and the others would personally go to the port to welcome them when the fleet entered the port.
The Domain World that Elder Zumar displayed was an ocean world, where there was a blue sky, a boundless sea, and endless sea beasts of various forms. As soon as the ocean world appeared, it shrouded Cage Island, and the people of the Gilded Kingdom were also included in the Domain World, and were protected by the Sanctuary powerhouse.
Of course, just like the real ocean, the world in the Domain World was not completely calm. When the blood-colored lightning outside continuously blasted into the oceanic world, the oceanic world immediately started to boil, creating a huge storm to resist the invading power.
However, even Elder Zumar's Domain World could not include Cage Island. The oceanic world and Cage Island were separated by an invisible force, just like the supreme laws of the world that even Sanctuary powerhouses who understood the World Laws could not break.
The blood-colored lightning constantly blasted into the oceanic world, and the huge black waves around Cage Island also constantly slammed into the oceanic world. From afar, one could see that the oceanic world was clearly distorting under the bombardment. It was like a bubble that was constantly being squeezed by a great force, as if it could burst with a bang at any time.
In the middle of the oceanic world, Elder Zumar's expression was also extremely sullen. The attacks from the outside world on the Domain World had already forced him to go all out to maintain the stability of the Domain World.
The battle on Cage Island was soon reported to the mainland by the spies through various means, and immediately attracted the attention of the various forces of the Breezy Plains. It was not surprising that the Gilded Kingdom had a Sanctuary powerhouse, but what really surprised them was that the Gilded Kingdom's Sanctuary powerhouse had actually participated in this operation.
In that case, what exactly was hidden on Cage Island that made the Gilded Kingdom send a Sanctuary powerhouse to deal with it? Of course, what was even more surprising was that the Sanctuary powerhouse of the Gilded Kingdom didn't seem to gain any benefits on Cage Island. Hence, the various forces coincidentally sent more spies to Cage Island in hopes of finding out what the Gilded Kingdom was trying to do. What secrets were hidden on Cage Island that had been forgotten for thousands of years?
Fortunately, the Gilded Kingdom's team had already cleared a safe passage that led directly to Cage Island. Hence, the spies sent by the various forces quickly rushed to the front line. All of a sudden, the number of spies around Cage Island actually reached more than 1,000. Besides, they were no longer spying on Cage Island secretly. Instead, they found a good spot in the surroundings and watched the battle on Cage Island openly as if they were there to watch a show.
However, the Gilded Kingdom did not have the energy to care about the actions of the spies. Although Zumar had blocked all the attacks, it seemed impossible for him to free up his hands to do anything else. As for the Legendary-mages who had survived, as well as the warriors in the team, they were protected in the oceanic world, and could not leave for a while.
Just like that, the spies of the Breezy Plains watched the Sanctuary powerhouses of the Gilded Kingdom and the mysterious power of Cage Island in a stalemate for nearly 10 days, and they even felt a little bored.
However, on the 10th day, intense roars suddenly sounded from the direction of the sea. Before the spies could investigate the situation, they saw a fleet of more than 10 giant battleships sailing towards Cage Island. Needless to say, the Gilded Kingdom was the only force in Anril that could have such a fleet.
After the massive fleet arrived, they immediately got into a battle formation, and surrounded Cage Island. Although the sea around Cage Island could be described as raging waves under the influence of that mysterious power, the giant battleships of the Gilded Kingdom did not seem to be affected much. The giant battleships were fixed firmly in place, just like islands that had existed there for thousands of years.
Due to the fact that the main opponent had always been the sea beasts, the angle of the cannons on the battleships was very flexible, and they could shoot below the surface of the sea. After getting into formation, the battleships quickly adjusted the firing angle of the cannons on the battleships, and pointed the muzzles at the bottom of Cage Island.
The cannons used on the battleships of the Gilded Kingdom were somewhat similar to the Magical Crystal Cannons produced by the Dwarf Kingdom. They also used magical crystals as an energy source, and compressed mana to the extreme before firing. However, compared to ordinary Magical Crystal Cannons, the cannons on these battleships were much larger. In particular, the diameter of the main cannons of the battleships was comparable to that of 10 ordinary Magical Crystal Cannons. Each shot would probably destroy a Legendary-level magical crystal.
That was also related to the living environment of the Gilded Kingdom. There were all kinds of marine creatures in the Endless Ocean, and marine beasts that were larger than ancient wyrms were rare at all. If the power of the Magical Crystal Cannons was too small, they would not be able to pose a threat to those marine beasts at all. Only such massive Magical Crystal Cannons could allow the Gilded Kingdom's fleet to dominate the seas.
As for the consumption of a Legendary magical crystal per shot, there was definitely no force in Anril that could afford it. The Ledin Kingdom and Felan Kingdom couldn't even bear to use ordinary Magical Crystal Cannons, let alone Legendary magical crystals. However, in the Endless Ocean, Legendary-level sea beasts were too common, and not all of them were very violent. Hence, it was not very difficult to obtain Legendary magical crystals.
Of course, even the Gilded Kingdom had not reached the point where they did not take Legendary magical crystals seriously. The main cannons of the battleships that consumed a lot of energy were actually only used when they encountered the threat of marine beasts. If they were to use them to attack small fish, they would not be able to afford it. However, they had clearly received instructions here, and the muzzles of the main cannons were also pointed at the bottom of Cage Island.
When the scouts in the distance saw the movements of the battleships, their breathing immediately quickened. As the people of the Breezy Plains, or rather, as people of Anril, they rarely had the opportunity to see such a scene.
In fact, not to mention the scouts, even the people of the Gilded Kingdom rarely had the opportunity to see the scene of the fleet firing in unison. In particular, the main cannons on the battleships were something that some people might not get to see even if they served on the battleships for a lifetime.
In addition to the Magical Crystal Cannons of various sizes, the battleships also had an ejection weapon called the Sea God's Trident. This was a very large weapon. If its size was shrunk by many times, people would easily recognize it as the fishing spear that many ships were equipped with. However, the Sea God's Trident of the Gilded Kingdom was too massive, and if it was fired at an ordinary merchant ship, it would probably be shot into pieces.
Generally speaking, the Magical Crystal Cannons were used to deal with enemies, while the Sea God's Trident was used to hunt sea beasts. After all, there were many beasts in the sea that had very strong vitality. Although the Magical Crystal Cannons were sharp, they could only injure the sea beasts most of the time, causing them to flee.
The order that the fleet received was to attack with all their might. Hence, regardless of the actual use of the weapons, they used whatever that could be used. After everything was ready, the command to launch soon came from the flagship. All of a sudden, the thousands of Magical Crystal Cannons on more than a dozen battleships emitted dazzling rays of light that shot towards the bottom of Cage Island. The dozens of Sea God's Tridents also penetrated the layers of waves and whizzed into the sea, as if they were going to overturn the entire Cage Island.
Upon sight of this scene, almost everyone thought that Cage Island was probably going to follow in the footsteps of the Blackwater Swamp, and completely disappear from Anril at this moment.
However, when all the attacks stopped temporarily, they were surprised to discover that Cage Island did not seem to have changed much. The only difference from before was that the sea around Cage Island had become even more turbulent, and it was as if a pot had been boiled. Huge waves that covered the sky surged towards the battleships.
The massive battleships of the Gilded Kingdom were just like moving islands on the sea. However, under the huge waves that covered the sky, the massive battleships still seemed a little small. When a huge wave came crashing down, it almost pushed the entire battleship into the water. Fortunately, the battleships of the Gilded Kingdom had adopted alchemy technology, and there was almost no need for anyone to work on the deck. Otherwise, there would definitely be no one standing on the deck.
The fleet that had been thrown into a mess by the huge waves did not adjust their formation, and instead immediately went all out to attack the bottom of Cage Island again. This time, they did not stop attacking, and instead attacked continuously. In fact, they even risked overloading the cannons.
At this moment, the spies in the distance were really satisfied. At the same time, they were extremely shocked by the strength of the Gilded Kingdom's fleet. With such terrifying power, it was no wonder that they were known to dominate the Endless Ocean. The naval fleets of the Ledin Kingdom and the Felan Kingdom would probably be destroyed by a single salvo.
However, the stronger the strength displayed by the Gilded Kingdom's fleet, the more bizarre Cage Island seemed. If it had been an ordinary island, the first salvo of the Gilded Kingdom's fleet would have been enough to completely wipe the island off the map. However, Cage Island had been bombarded by the Gilded Kingdom's fleet for a long time, yet there were still no changes.
What exactly is hidden under Cage Island? Could there really be an ancient evil dragon that has been sealed in the legends? After receiving the intelligence sent back by the spies, almost everyone became very interested in Cage Island, which they had originally been too lazy to mention.
Of course, they knew their own capabilities and knew that they had no right to interfere in this matter. Even the Gilded Kingdom, which had a Sanctuary powerhouse and a super fleet, couldn't do anything to Cage Island. Wouldn't they be courting death if they went there with their meager strength?
Hence, the only thing they could do was to get their spies to speed up the transmission of information so that they could understand the situation of the battle on Cage Island in a timely manner. No leader of any force dared to take such a huge risk. After all, even if there were benefits, it wouldn't be their turn. Who would do something that wouldn't benefit them?
Under the attention of countless people, the situation of the battle on Cage Island had changed again, and the situation was unstoppably developing in a direction that was extremely disadvantageous to the Gilded Kingdom. A true Sanctuary powerhouse and a super fleet with astonishing combat power had fallen into an absolute disadvantage without even seeing the enemy's face.
On Cage Island, Elder Zumar's face had already become extremely sullen, and his Domain World seemed to be on the verge of collapse. On the other hand, the battleships that were originally surrounding Cage Island also looked rather wretched at this moment. Or rather, they looked miserable.
Two of the battleships had already sunk to the point that only the observation deck was left above the sea, while another battleship had already sailed away from the battle area with difficulty. Its hull was tilted, and it was clearly severely damaged. As for the remaining battleships that were still bombarding Cage Island, all of them had sustained considerable damage.
