Hence, the people of the Fifth Fleet saw an even more horrifying scene. The giant alchemical battleship that was sucked into the sky suddenly began to disintegrate in mid-air, and be it the metal or anything else, they were all quickly disintegrated into a sand-like substance that surged into the giant mouth of the monster that was like a black hole.
"It, it devoured our battleship!" This time, the people of the Fifth Fleet were really frightened. Although the battleship was not thrown down, and it seemed to be more advantageous for them, it was even more unacceptable for them to watch the massive alchemical battleship being disintegrated and devoured.
"People of the Gilded Kingdom, listen up, I'll digest it first. If you still don't release The Star and the sailors on it, I'll continue to remind you." While digesting the battleship that had been devoured, Garl once again warned the people of the Fifth Fleet below.
To be honest, Garl had never had such a good meal ever since he started following Lin Li. That was an entire alchemical battleship, and in addition to the power source, there was also a large number of magical crystals that were consumed by the Magical Crystal Cannons. It could be said that the mana that Garl obtained by devouring such an alchemical battleship was enough for a person who had just entered the Legendary-realm to immediately reach the peak of the Legendary-realm.
Unfortunately, breaking through to the Sanctuary-realm was no longer something that could be achieved by simply gathering mana. Otherwise, Garl would probably become the first Devouring Demon in history to step into the Sanctuary-realm. In fact, it was precisely because the Devouring Demon had the ability to devour all mana that it was far more difficult for it to break through to the Sanctuary-realm than for ordinary people or creatures.
At this moment, the people of the Fifth Fleet below were also shocked by Garl's words. If it was just the giant alchemical battleship that had sunk into the sea, it could still be salvaged and repaired in the shipyard, or the materials on the battleship could be reused elsewhere. However, the problem now was that the massive alchemical battleship had been devoured by that monster, and that was a huge loss for the Fifth Fleet.
"Hurry, send an urgent letter to inform Lord Delano and order all the battleships to prepare for battle. Aim all the cannons at that monster, and shoot it down as soon as you receive the order." In the end, Hajis did not dare to take matters into his own hands, and instead got someone to send a letter to Delano. In his opinion, even if a war was to be triggered, Delano should be the one to bear the responsibility. Anyway, that guy had an impressive father, and would not be punished no matter what he did.
The naval fleet of the Gilded Kingdom often fought together at sea, and the communication between them was not just based on flag language. The Gilded Kingdom had been passed down since the beginning of the Dark Age, and the alchemy technology they had mastered was much higher than that of the Rotterdam Kingdom. Hence, it was not difficult for them to use Alchemy Arrays for long-distance communication.
After receiving the order, the soldier in charge of communications immediately went to the flagship's communication room and activated the communication array before calling Delano. Just as they began to contact Delano, the Lord Devourer, Garl, who was outside, had already begun to remind them for the second time. Another alchemical battleship was sucked into the air, and disintegrated into various types of mana.
At this moment, Delano, who was in the capital, was still arguing with Forcus. He had no idea how terrifying his fleet was. Right now, all he was thinking about was how to deal with the person who had humiliated him. He saw the regret on the other party's face, as if he regretted offending him.
On the other hand, Forcus was already fuming with anger because of Delano. He didn't know why Delano was so confident today. Even though he mentioned His Majesty and his teacher, Elder Zumar, he still couldn't make the idiot change his mind.
However, while the two were arguing, one of Delano's subordinates suddenly ran over with a crystal engraved with magic runes in his hand. He said, "Lord, there's an urgent message from the Sea Dragon. Do you want to contact them?"
"Damn it, could it be that the prisoners are causing trouble? These good-for-nothings really can't do anything right." Although Delano said that, there was not much anger in his tone or expression. Instead, he looked at Forcus with an indescribable smugness in his eyes. He was obviously trying to say, "Look, I've detained these people. What can you do about it?"
"You!" Forcus was so infuriated that he wanted to vomit blood. He really wanted to stop caring about the fate of this idiot.
At this moment, the magical crystal that was used for communication had also lit up, and was ready to project a blurry image above. In the image, a man with a distorted face said anxiously, "Lord Delano, the people of the Tower of Dusk have sent a monster, and they want us to release their ships and sailors immediately."
"Damn it, do you have to ask me about such a trivial matter!? Tell him that we suspect that they are connected to several pirate groups, and are now investigating. "After saying that, Delano was about to turn off the communication.
However, the person on the other side hurriedly stopped him, and said, "Lord, that monster is devouring our battleships. It said that if we don't release their ships and sailors immediately, it will devour one of our battleships every once in a while until all of our battleships are devoured!"
"What!?" Although Delano was taken aback, he soon had a stern expression on his face, and exclaimed, "How dare you bunch of good-for-nothings, don't you know how to fight back? Inform the military port immediately and get all the battleships to come over. No matter who the other party is, since he dares to touch our battleships, let's get rid of him first! "
However, Forcus, who was at the side, was already terrified when he heard that. This time, things were really bad. Once the two sides started a war, there would definitely be no way to resolve it peacefully no matter which side suffered.
"Delano, do you know what you are doing? Do you really want to cause a war between us and the Tower of Dusk!?" Forcus hollered in exasperation.
"War? Lord Forcus, you think too highly of the Tower of Dusk. They are just a local force in the Breezy Plains. When our army sets foot in the Breezy Plains, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to destroy them? "Delano said in disdain.
Indeed, the Gilded Kingdom was one of the major powers in Anril. Not only did it have a powerful naval fleet, but the strength of its army was also not inferior to that of the Ledin Kingdom and the Felan Kingdom. The Tower of Dusk was just one of the many forces in the Breezy Plains, and even though they had a high status in the Breezy Plains, they did not really unify the Breezy Plains. The Tower of Dusk might have a few powerhouses, but the Gilded Kingdom did not have any. Besides, the Gilded Kingdom had the support of the Illuminati.
Hence, no matter how he looked at it, Delano did not think that the Tower of Dusk, a local force of the Breezy Plains, would be a match for the powerful Gilded Kingdom. As for how much the king valued it, in his opinion, it was just the development needs of the Gilded Kingdom in the Breezy Plains. If the two sides really fell out, the king would definitely not stand on the Tower of Dusk's side.
"You … Don't you know that President Felic is a Sanctuary powerhouse!?" Forcus really wanted to slap Delano twice.
"Sanctuary powerhouse? So what? My father is also a Sanctuary powerhouse, and there are so many powerhouses in the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati. Why would we be afraid of a Sanctuary powerhouse? "Delano said nonchalantly. Although his strength was not great, and he was just like an ant in the outside world, his father, High Priest Poer, was also a true Sanctuary powerhouse. Hence, he really did not have much respect for Sanctuary powerhouses.
"The Tower of Dusk has the Sky Castle of the High Elves, and they can fly to any place in our country to launch an attack. Even the corpse of the ancient evil dragon that once caused a huge disaster in the history of the kingdom was severely injured by the Sky Castle. Do you think any of us can resist such an attack!?" Forcus yelled at Delano loudly. He was already shouting at the top of his lungs.
"What's so great about the Sky Castle? At the end of the Dark Age, the Sky Castle of the High Elves was also blasted down. It's fine if his Sky Castle doesn't come, but if it really dares to come out of our airspace, my fleet will be able to blast it down with a single salvo, "Delano said smugly with his hands on his hips.
Hearing Delano's answer, Forcus suddenly felt completely disheartened. He really couldn't imagine how a respectable Sanctuary powerhouse like High Priest Poer could have such a foolish son. He knew that it would be useless no matter what he said, because Young Master Delano would not give up until he saw his own coffin.
"Lord Forcus, if there's nothing else, I'll go first. We still have some questions that we need that Felic to cooperate with the investigation." Delano waved his hand behind him smugly, and swaggered towards the embassy area with his many subordinates.
"You …" Looking at the backs of Delano and the others, Forcus stretched out his hand weakly, but he could not say anything. He had no choice. It seemed that he had to find time to report this matter to his teacher, and hope that his teacher would be able to appease Lin Li's anger lest he really caused a disaster for the Gilded Kingdom.
However, Forcus couldn't leave yet. Although Delano had infuriated him, he couldn't really let him be. If Delano were to be killed by Lin Li of the Tower of Dusk, things would really be irreversible.
Hence, Forcus had no choice but to perk up again, and chase after Delano and the others, hoping to save Delano's life as much as possible when a conflict broke out between the two parties.
At this moment, Helena Port had already turned into a battlefield. The battleships that were originally guarding The Star in the port, as well as the battleships that had just received the order to rush over from the military port, totaling up to dozens of battleships of various sizes. All the cannons on the battleships were pointed at the sky, and the mana cannons that were like giant pillars continuously shot into the sky.
The power of the mana cannons was probably something that no marine beasts in the Endless Ocean could contend with head-on. Even if an ancient wyrm appeared there, it might be blasted down directly. However, although the Lord Devourer Garl's strength was only at the peak of the Legendary-realm, its ability to devour everything would definitely be a huge headache for its opponents.
Back in the Well of the Sun, Lin Li and several peak Legendary powerhouses, as well as the elites of the three forces, did not manage to do anything to Garl. Instead, Garl devoured many Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom. Later on, Lin Li had to use a Heart-piercing Potion to completely dispel the mana in Lore's body before he managed to subdue that troublesome guy.
However, the people of the Fifth Fleet of the Gilded Kingdom did not even know the true origin of Garl, the Lord Devourer. How could they possibly know Garl's weakness? Besides, even if they knew Garl's weakness, no one could formulate the Heart-piercing Potion at this juncture.
Hence, although the attack of the Fifth Fleet seemed to be massive and destructive, it was just like giving nourishment to the Lord Devourer Garl. The condensed mana cannons were condensed from the purest mana, and Garl did not even have to digest them at all. Instead, he devoured them directly and turned them into his own power.
"Haha, come on, attack as much as you want!" Garl roared with laughter while swallowing the mana cannons.
On the other hand, the people of the Fifth Fleet below were all dumbfounded at this moment. Although they were still persisting in attacking, they were getting more and more afraid. What kind of monster is this? How can it even devour the powerful mana cannons? If it were any other magical beast, it would have probably been blasted through long ago. How are we supposed to fight this battle? Garl devours everything we attack, and even spits out a few magic storms from time to time, blasting a few battleships into pieces.
"Damn it, let's go!" Seeing that the invincible cannons had become useless in front of that monster, the Legendary powerhouses knew that they would fall into a disadvantageous situation if this went on. Hence, more than 10 Legendary powerhouses flew into the sky from the battleship, and each exerted all their power to besiege Lord Devourer.
At this moment, in the embassy district of Hopra City, the capital of the Gilded Kingdom, Delano had already brought many of his subordinates, and barged into the embassy where Lin Li and the others were.
"President Felic, we're on your ship …" Delano said confidently as soon as he entered. However, before he finished speaking, he felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. Apart from Felic whom he was looking for this time, the representatives of the other forces of the Breezy Plains were also in the hall.
Logically speaking, the problem of The Star should be a problem between the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk. In the past, the people of the forces of the Breezy Plains would probably be happy to see the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk fight. However, things were different now. Putting aside the status of the Tower of Dusk in the Breezy Plains and the benefits that they had gained from Lin Li along the way, they could not just stand by and do nothing at this juncture for the sake of their own interests.
