Seeing that Forcus had suddenly landed in front of him, Delano was really taken aback, but his expression soon returned to normal. He frowned slightly, and said, "Lord Forcus, I was just about to look for you. We found a fugitive wanted by the kingdom on the ship of the Tower of Dusk. Now, the ship and the sailors of the Tower of Dusk are all under my control. I'm going to look for President Felic and listen to his explanation. "
Upon hearing Delano's words, Forcus was so infuriated that he almost vomited blood. He was still thinking about how to clean up the mess, and yet Delano still thought that he had not caused enough trouble. He even wanted to question President Felic!
At this juncture, Forcus really wanted to just ignore everything and let the idiot Delano die on his own. The detention of The Star and the sailors was already an affront to the young Sanctuary powerhouse, and now they even wanted to question the Sanctuary powerhouse face to face. They were courting death.
However, could Forcus really do that? Delano was the son of High Priest Poer, and if he really died in the hands of President Felic of the Tower of Dusk, there would really be no room for negotiation. If that were to happen, there would probably be no one who could stop the war between the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk.
Hence, despite being extremely resentful, Forcus had no choice but to grit his teeth, and say, "Delano, didn't I remind you before? Do you know that you've already caused a huge disaster!? You'd better go back immediately and release The Star and the sailors, and then come with me to apologize to President Felic. There's still a possibility of a peaceful solution to this matter. Otherwise, you'll be a sinner of the Gilded Kingdom! "
"Hey, Lord Forcus, are you mistaken? The Tower of Dusk is now harboring our fugitive. They should be the ones apologizing to us." This time, Delano was no longer afraid of Forcus, and there was even a hint of mockery in his tone as if Forcus had become a spineless coward who had betrayed the interests of the country.
Damn it, do you think I'm willing to beg you humbly? It's all your fault! Forcus was infuriated as he pointed at Delano, and said, "President Felic is a distinguished guest of the Gilded Kingdom, and His Majesty has just received him personally. Do you think that you're still disrespecting His Majesty by doing such a thing!?"
Unfortunately, Delano was obviously full of confidence this time. Even when Forcus mentioned the king of the Gilded Kingdom, he still did not have the intention to admit his mistake. Instead, he nonchalantly said, "Is that so? Great, I also want to report this matter to His Majesty, and let him see how these outsiders trample on the laws of our country. Lord Forcus, do you want to go with me?"
Just as Forcus and Delano were entangled here, the Lord Devourer Garl, who had received Lin Li's orders, had already arrived above the dock of Helena Port. The people on the dock initially did not notice anything until they were shrouded by the shadow. They finally realized that there was such a terrifying monster above their heads, and the entire dock was in chaos as everyone fled in all directions.
Garl was floating in the sky, and initially wanted to suck some people of the Gilded Kingdom, but when he thought of his master Lin Li's orders, he had no choice but to suppress his appetite first. He yelled at the people below, "People of the Gilded Kingdom, listen up, immediately release The Star and the sailors on board. Otherwise, Lord Garl will remind you every 10 minutes!"
The people of the Fifth Fleet of the Gilded Kingdom had long noticed the monster that suddenly appeared in the sky, and all the battleships immediately activated their defensive shields to get ready for battle. Initially, they thought that it was some magical beast that had invaded Helena Port, but after hearing the thunderous roar, they realized that the other party was actually there for The Star.
A reminder every 10 minutes? Let him remind them then! Due to the fact that the people of the Fifth Fleet had a powerful commander with a powerful background, they usually did not take others seriously. Not to mention the outsiders of the Breezy Plains, they had always had a high sense of superiority towards the other fleets of the Gilded Kingdom.
Hence, after hearing Garl's yell in the sky, the people of the Fifth Fleet suddenly looked relieved. In their opinion, if the other party was a magical beast that had invaded the port, they might have to prepare for a fierce battle. However, if it was the people of the Breezy Plains, there would be nothing to worry about. Even if those outsiders had 100 guts, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the territory of the Gilded Kingdom. At most, they would just bluff and make a ruckus.
With that thought in mind, the people of the Fifth Fleet did not panic because of Garl's arrival. Instead, they ran to the deck one by one, and waited to see the guy who had come with a menacing aura finally leave.
When Garl came here, he was actually afraid that Lin Li would immediately release The Star and the sailors after being intimidated by him. That way, he wouldn't have the chance to stir up trouble as he pleased. However, when he saw the scene below, the feeling of being looked down upon made him rather furious even though that was exactly what he wanted.
10 minutes? I don't have a timer! Garl laughed sinisterly, and no longer cared about the 10 minutes that he had mentioned just now. Instead, he lowered his body a little, and opened his huge mouth that could devour everything. He then exerted a huge suction force on one of the battleships of the Gilded Kingdom on the sea.
This time, the people of the Fifth Fleet really had their horizons broadened. They saw that the defensive shield of one of their battleships had suddenly become distorted, as if an invisible force was pulling it upwards. Besides, as the defensive shield was pulled, they also saw that the draft of the battleship was changing, as if the force was pulling the entire battleship upwards.
Before the people of the Fifth Fleet could figure out what was going on, a series of explosions suddenly sounded on the battleship, and the powerful defensive shield actually turned into a ball of light that left the battleship and flew towards the sky. At the same time, the soldiers on the battleship and a large number of unsecured things followed closely behind the light, as if they were falling into the sky, flying straight into the giant mouth of the monster in the sky.
"It … That monster is devouring our people!" Someone finally snapped back to his senses, and exclaimed loudly. In fact, even if he didn't say it, everyone could tell that the naval warriors on the battleship had all flown into the mouth of the monster. If they weren't devoured by the monster, they wouldn't be going on a one-day trip in the monster's stomach.
In fact, it was not rare for them to devour humans. After all, there were many marine beasts on the sea, and it was not uncommon to encounter such large magical beasts that would devour humans and ships together. However, magical beasts were magical beasts, and this monster was sent by the people of the Breezy Plains. How dare it attack the Fifth Fleet here? Aren't they afraid of starting a war!?
"Damn it, why aren't they playing by the rules? Aren't they afraid of starting a war!?" Adjutant Hajis, who had been left behind by Delano, was in charge of looking after The Star. According to their thoughts, the development of the matter should be like this: The people of the Breezy Plains would come and plead for leniency, and they would then reject them righteously. In the end, the president of the Tower of Dusk would have to apologize personally.
However, it was now clear that the development of the situation had deviated from the script they had expected from the beginning. The Tower of Dusk had no intention of apologizing at all, and instead sent such a monster to force the Fifth Fleet to release The Star. Besides, what was even more outrageous was that they had clearly said that they would give them 10 minutes at the beginning, but they attacked before the five minutes were up, leaving them defenseless. That was simply too shameless.
"Lord Hajis, give the order to fight back. That monster is devouring our warriors!" Several naval officers rushed into the command room, and asked Adjutant Hajis to fight with indignation.
However, Hajis was a little hesitant. After all, the previous matter could only be regarded as a diplomatic incident, but things had changed now, and they might really start a war!
While Hajis was hesitating, a naval warrior ran in and reported, "Lord Hajis, that monster has even sucked our battleship into the sky!"
Upon hearing this, Hajis and the others couldn't help but immediately look outside, only to see that the massive alchemical battleship had completely left the sea, and was flying faster and faster towards the sky. The giant mouth of the monster in the sky was like a black hole, and it was the massive suction force that sucked the alchemical battleship into the sky.
"Damn it, it wants to destroy our battleship, Lord Hajis!" Several naval officers were also anxious when they saw the scene. Even the Gilded Kingdom, which was famous for its maritime technology, had to pay a huge price to build an alchemical battleship. It was not a small fishing boat.
They did not know what the monster was going to do by sucking the alchemical battleship into the sky, but they were certain that if the monster withdrew its power and let the alchemical battleship fall freely, it would probably cause a huge disaster to the entire port. The huge hull of the alchemy ship was enough to sweep away everything in the harbor just by the waves caused by the impact.
However, their worries were clearly misplaced. Garl had not sucked the alchemical battleship into the sky for the sake of losing it. The alchemical battleship of the Gilded Kingdom used a large number of precious magical metals and Legendary magical crystals to provide power, which were a rare feast for the Lord Devourer, Garl.
