The pirates, who seemed to have an absolute advantage at first, immediately fell from the clouds to the abyss under the attack of the Legendary powerhouses. The pirates, who had been killing and looting at sea for a long time, became the targets of slaughter this time as they fled in all directions, crying for their parents. However, even if they jumped into the sea desperately, they would not be able to avoid being smashed into pieces by the magic spells or Combat Energy Slashes that followed.
The pirate ships began to sink to the bottom of the sea one after another. Some of the pirate ships were engulfed in raging flames that were still burning even when they reached the surface of the sea. Some of the pirate ships were frozen into ice cubes, and they were instantly cut into pieces by the Combat Energy Slashes that were tens of meters long. Some of the pirate ships were even worse off. They were completely shrouded in gray fog, and the pirates on the ships were wailing in pain. They watched in despair as they aged rapidly, while the ships decayed and collapsed quickly.
Although the strength of the Legendary powerhouses seemed to be nothing in front of a Sanctuary powerhouse like Lin Li, they were god-like existences to those below the Legendary-realm. The pirates could not contend with more than 10 Legendary powerhouses at all. In less than 10 minutes, half of the battleships of the pirate fleet sank to the bottom of the sea in various ways.
At this moment, on the flagship of the pirate fleet, the Sea Demon King Omula and the other two were staring blankly at the shocking changes outside, completely dumbfounded. They could not imagine the origins of that lone battleship. How could it have so many Legendary powerhouses jump out all of a sudden? The three of them couldn't help but have the same thought. This time, they had really bumped into an iron plate!
Seeing that the fleet that he had painstakingly built was about to be completely destroyed by the dozen Legendary powerhouses, Omula finally recovered from his shock. Without saying anything to his two brothers, he turned around and walked towards the back of the captain's cabin.
"Lord, we've really fallen this time. We have no choice but to ask you to save us. Otherwise, I'm afraid we …" Omula said in a trembling voice.
The mysterious man who was wrapped in a black robe finally raised his head slowly, but his face was still covered by the shadow of the hood. He said in a low voice, "Ask your men to retreat." After saying that, he raised his hand and released a magic signal flare.
The magic flare penetrated the ceiling of the captain's cabin and shot straight into the sky above the flagship. Then, it exploded with a boom and drew a huge magic rune in the air. At the same time, Omula returned to the captain's room again and issued the order to retreat. The flagship took the lead in turning around and fled into the distance at full speed. The other remaining battleships did not need Omula's orders. Seeing that the flagship had escaped, no one was foolish enough to stay and wait for death. They immediately followed the flagship at full speed.
However, the dozen or so Legendary powerhouses who came down from The Star clearly did not intend to let the pirates off so easily. The Legendary-mages directly used the Power of Flight to chase after the escaping pirate ship while continuously bombarding it with magic. The Legendary Sword Sages were not to be outdone. Although they could not stay in the sky for a long time, their short-distance flight speed was far superior to the Power of Flight of the Legendary-mages. They chased after the escaping battleships like cannonballs.
One or two pirate ships could not avoid the fate of sinking to the bottom of the sea. However, just as the people on The Star's side were about to catch up with the flagship that was fleeing at the front, another fleet suddenly appeared from afar. However, the battleship of this fleet had the flag of the Gilded Kingdom's navy, and it was clearly the navy that the Gilded Kingdom relied on to dominate the seas.
The naval fleet of the Gilded Kingdom that suddenly appeared consisted of 15 giant alchemical battleships and more than 20 ironclad battleships. When they sailed over quickly in a neat formation, their domineering aura was vividly displayed. Even if all the navies of all the kingdoms in Anril were added together, they might not be able to compare to a fleet of such a scale.
Seeing that the naval fleet of the Gilded Kingdom had arrived, the people on The Star who were chasing after the pirates couldn't help but slow down. After all, they were there to attend the national day celebration of the Gilded Kingdom, and not to eliminate the pirates for the Gilded Kingdom. It would be fine if the Gilded Kingdom's fleet did not appear, but since it had appeared, they couldn't be bothered to interfere.
At this moment, the Gilded Kingdom's fleet that had already quickly approached also signaled to both parties: This is the territorial sea of the Gilded Kingdom, order both parties to stop fighting immediately, and the dispute between the two parties will be adjudicated fairly by the navy of the Gilded Kingdom.
Hence, the people on The Star simply gave up on chasing after the pirates, and returned to the deck one by one. Anyway, the pirates would definitely die in their hands, and they wouldn't fare any better if they fell into the hands of the Gilded Kingdom's army. Hence, they didn't mind giving the Gilded Kingdom some face.
As the people on The Star stopped chasing, the flagship of the pirates and the remaining two battleships also stopped. Seemingly knowing that it was impossible to escape in this situation, the three ships simply raised their white flags. Next, several ironclad battleships of the Gilded Kingdom's navy immediately approached, and teams of warriors and mages boarded the pirate ship. Soon, they started guarding the remaining pirates.
However, after disarming the pirates, the fleet did not remove their battle formation, and instead continued to surround The Star. In particular, the 15 alchemical battleships soon surrounded The Star, after which the flagship of the fleet signaled to board the ship for inspection.
"President Felic, it seems that the other party still doesn't know our identity. Let me go explain to them," said Joseph, who was afraid that Lin Li would lose his temper and embarrass the Gilded Kingdom. Joseph was afraid that Lin Li would lose his temper and embarrass the Gilded Kingdom. They were now considered to be in the Gilded Kingdom's territory, and if they were to ruin their relationship, it would not be beneficial to them at all.
However, Joseph's worries were clearly unnecessary. Although Lin Li was already a Sanctuary powerhouse who stood at the peak of Anril, he was definitely not a person who liked to cause trouble. Hence, after hearing Joseph's words, he nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll have to trouble you to greet them then."
Hearing Lin Li's words, Joseph secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly set off to the flagship of the other party's fleet. Of course, the flagship of the Gilded Kingdom's fleet could not be boarded by just anyone. Joseph also flew in the air and negotiated with the other party for a long time before he was finally allowed to land on the deck of the battleship.
After a while, the flagship of the Gilded Kingdom's fleet left the formation and approached The Star. Joseph first returned to The Star to greet them, after which several boarding bridges extended from the flagship, and were placed on the side of The Star's deck.
First, a team of warriors arrived on the deck of The Star through the bridge, and then separated into two rows to face Lin Li and the others on The Star. Next, a young officer in his early thirties, who was surrounded by a group of elite warriors, came to the deck of The Star from the wider bridge in the middle.
The young naval officer had curly blond hair, blue eyes, and a rather muscular body. However, his face was a little pale. However, as the officer commanding such a fleet, his strength was really lacking as he had not even reached the Legendary-level.
On the other hand, the team of warriors beside the young officer were all level-18 or level-19, and could be considered the elites of the elites no matter where they were. Even the top forces of the Breezy Plains like the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family would find it difficult to assemble such an elite team.
It could be seen from this team of elite warriors that the young naval officer probably had an extraordinary status in the Gilded Kingdom despite his mediocre strength. Otherwise, even the commander of this fleet probably wouldn't have the right to have such a team of elite warriors as his guards.
After the young officer arrived on the deck of The Star surrounded by the guards, a person who looked like an adjutant stood up, and introduced him to the people on The Star. "This is the commander of our kingdom's Fifth Fleet, Lord Delano, the son of High Priest Poer."
Generally speaking, the descendants of officials or rich people who were thoughtful would rarely mention their father's name when introducing themselves. Even Cantory, the special envoy who was in charge of the development plan of the Gilded Kingdom in the Breezy Plains, didn't seem to mention his father's name. However, when Lord Delano introduced his father to his subordinates, he had an arrogant and smug look on his face. Clearly, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
Hearing the introduction of the adjutant, the people on The Star, especially Joseph and the other representatives of the forces that cooperated with the Gilded Kingdom, couldn't help but look surprised. They had naturally never heard of Delano, but they had some understanding of High Priest Poer during their contact with the Gilded Kingdom.
High Priest Poer was not only a priest of the kingdom, but also the teacher of the king of the Gilded Kingdom, and had a rather transcendent status in the Gilded Kingdom. If Cantory hadn't become the disciple of the Illuminati, he probably wouldn't have been qualified to compete with Delano. After all, the chancellor's power was given by the king, and the king had always been very respectful to High Priest Poer.
Lin Li naturally knew about High Priest Poer too, but he wasn't as surprised as the others. After all, in Anril, a Sanctuary powerhouse, especially a high-level one, was basically already an existence that stood at the top of the entire world. Hence, he wouldn't be affected by such a trivial matter. Not to mention that Delano was the son of the high priest, even if he was the son of the Illuminati's lord, Lin Li wouldn't be moved.
Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the people on The Star because of his identity, Delano still felt rather smug even though he had seen such expressions too many times. However, when he turned to look at the young mage in the middle of the crowd, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Lin Li's calmness seemed a little glaring among the group of people who were surprised, but in Delano's opinion, it was a form of great contempt and disdain. All along, as long as he announced his identity, the other party, be it the people from the Gilded Kingdom or outside the kingdom, would immediately look shocked, and their attitude would become extremely respectful. In fact, they would even flatter him.
At this moment, the people on The Star's side were all Legendary powerhouses, after all. Hence, they quickly recovered from the shock. As the person who had just negotiated with the people from the Gilded Kingdom, Joseph also began to introduce the people on his side at this moment.
Delano didn't take the identity of these people from the Breezy Plains to heart at all. The Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family were just some local forces. In his opinion, the so-called top forces of the Breezy Plains were just like the chambers of commerce and pirates in the Gilded Kingdom.
Delano couldn't understand why Cantory hadn't controlled the entire Breezy Plains yet when there were only a few such forces in the Breezy Plains. If he had his way, there would be nothing to say to these local forces, and he would just march his army into the Breezy Plains to see who would dare to oppose him.
However, Delano was not indifferent. At least, he wanted to know the identity of the young man who seemed to be belittling him. His father was the high priest of the Gilded Kingdom, and his identity would definitely make anyone who heard it tremble in fear. Who else would have the right to belittle him!?
"This is President Felic, the president of the Tower of Dusk of the Breezy Plains." The first person Joseph introduced was Lin Li. Although Lin Li, a Sanctuary powerhouse, was young, he was definitely ranked first among them. After introducing Lin Li, he began to introduce Claus of the Caesar Family, Mogadi of the Blood Moon Clan, and other representatives of the various forces.
However, at this moment, Delano no longer listened to the introductions, because the only thing he wanted to know was the young mage who dared to ignore his identity. However, after listening to Joseph's introduction, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He had never heard of the Tower of Dusk before. It seemed that Lin Li's behavior was purely due to his ignorance.
After waiting impatiently for Joseph to introduce the people on The Star, Delano only nodded his head, and then raised his chin slightly. He glanced at the people opposite him arrogantly, and said, "This is the territorial waters of the Gilded Kingdom. No matter what the reason for the fight between you is, it has seriously endangered the safety of our territorial waters. The other party has already put down their weapons. Now, I order you to put down your weapons immediately and accept the temporary custody of the Fifth Fleet. When we reach Four Seasons Island, the Navy Court will give you a fair judgment. "
