After all, they were now bound together with the Tower of Dusk. As long as the Tower of Dusk remained strong, they would definitely have a strong position in the negotiations with the Gilded Kingdom. If the Tower of Dusk suffered a loss in this matter, they, who had come with the Tower of Dusk, would definitely be at a disadvantage in the negotiation with the Gilded Kingdom.
Of course, not everyone thought so. For example, Joseph and a few other representatives of the other forces who were more timid did not appear in the crowd.
If Delano was smart enough, he would have thought of a way to divide the people of the Breezy Plains and isolate the Tower of Dusk completely. However, Delano did not take the people of the Breezy Plains seriously at all. Besides, his adjutant was not around. Hence, he ignored the others, and instead said to Lin Li smugly, "Felic, do you think I'll let your ship go just because you sent a monster over? Dream on, my fleet has now arrived at the port, and the monster you sent will soon be destroyed. This will also be solid evidence that you're harboring a felon of the Gilded Kingdom. "
Seeing that Delano had directly put the blame on him, the representatives of the forces of the Breezy Plains were already in an uproar before Lin Li could react. They had all arrived on The Star together, and according to what Delano said, they would be suspects too.
More importantly, the people who represented the various forces of the Breezy Plains were no longer three-year-olds, and they all knew what Delano was up to. Delano's brazen framing of the Tower of Dusk was not just a matter that concerned the Tower of Dusk, but also made the others of the Breezy Plains feel insecure.
If a fleet commander like Delano could frame the Tower of Dusk like that, wouldn't the forces that were inferior to the Tower of Dusk be easily manipulated? At this moment, the feeling of being flattered by the king of the Gilded Kingdom immediately vanished from everyone's hearts.
"Outrageous, do they really think that we, the people of the Breezy Plains, are pushovers!?" Claus from the Caesar Family hollered angrily, and turned his head to say to the others, "Everyone, since the Gilded Kingdom is looking down on us, let's show them that the people of the Breezy Plains are not to be trifled with!"
Of course, Claus' anger was partly genuine. Apart from being dissatisfied with Delano, he wanted to take this opportunity to show his loyalty to the Tower of Dusk. To be honest, such an opportunity was really rare. After all, few forces in the Breezy Plains would dare to provoke the Tower of Dusk. Without those blind forces sending themselves over to prove their loyalty, it would be a wonder if anyone would believe them just by saying how loyal they were.
Although they were now facing the massive Gilded Kingdom, the Tower of Dusk still had the final say in the Breezy Plains. It was not a problem to suck up to the Gilded Kingdom, but if they had to choose between the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk, they would probably not choose the Gilded Kingdom. Otherwise, the forces that had been operating in the Breezy Plains for hundreds and thousands of years would be thrown away.
Indeed, the Gilded Kingdom seemed to be stronger, and they also had the support of the Illuminati. Elder Zumar was probably not the only Sanctuary powerhouse. However, Sanctuary powerhouses were almost immortal, and no one could guarantee that the Gilded Kingdom would be able to defeat Lin Li, who was already a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse. That was also the reason that the Gilded Kingdom had put on such a show this time in hopes of maintaining the current state of peace with the Tower of Dusk and the other forces of the Breezy Plains.
The Gilded Kingdom could not do anything to Lin Li, but it would be too easy for Lin Li to deal with the forces of the Breezy Plains. The Gilded Kingdom wouldn't send a Sanctuary powerhouse to the Breezy Plains to help them deal with the Tower of Dusk for the sake of those small forces. Even if the Gilded Kingdom was willing to send a Sanctuary powerhouse over, it would probably be too late. After all, the Tower of Dusk had Sanctuary powerhouses and was from the Sky Castle. It would be a piece of cake for them to destroy the insignificant forces.
However, on the other hand, currying favor with the Tower of Dusk would be a great benefit for the forces of the Breezy Plains. Just by looking at the journey, everyone had obtained a lot of benefits. All kinds of precious specialties of the Endless Sea, everyone had taken a lot.
More importantly, with the Sanctuary powerhouse of the Tower of Dusk taking the lead, the forces would not be at a disadvantage during the cooperation negotiations with the Gilded Kingdom, even if they did not have all the advantages. They did not think that the Gilded Kingdom was treating them so well because of their forces in the Breezy Plains, and that it was mainly because of the Tower of Dusk. If it weren't for the Tower of Dusk and President Felic of the Tower of Dusk, the Gilded Kingdom would probably not take them seriously at all.
That was not an assumption. Just by looking at what the Gilded Kingdom had done in the Breezy Plains in the beginning, they knew that the Gilded Kingdom was not as peace-loving as they claimed to be. At that time, the Gilded Kingdom still did not know the strength of the Tower of Dusk, and thus sent their elites to plunder everywhere in the Breezy Plains, causing the forces of the Breezy Plains to be in a terrible state. It was only when the Tower of Dusk displayed powerful strength and destroyed the Gilded Kingdom's battleships that the people of the Gilded Kingdom had no choice but to sit at the negotiating table.
Hence, Claus and the others understood very well that even if they wanted to deepen their cooperation with the Gilded Kingdom, the first condition was to cozy up to the Tower of Dusk. Otherwise, the Gilded Kingdom would not take them seriously at all, regardless of whether they were a top force of the Breezy Plains or an ancient inheritance.
Claus took the lead to express his dissatisfaction with Delano, which immediately caused the others to chime in. After all, those who could represent their respective forces were not fools.
"Why? Do you guys want to stand up for him? Don't forget, this is not your countryside. None of you can get away with this matter! " Delano did not take them seriously at all. They were in his territory, and he could easily mobilize an army to take them down.
Besides, Delano did not believe that the country bumpkins from the Breezy Plains would really have the guts to cause any trouble there. As he said, they were in the Gilded Kingdom, and even the envoys of the Ledin Kingdom and the Felan Kingdom had to obey the rules of the Gilded Kingdom, let alone the small forces of the Breezy Plains.
"Hah, everyone, the people of the Breezy Plains have been underestimated. You can't take it anymore, but I can't! Those who are willing to come with me, let's go to the port and snatch The Star back. Let the people of the Gilded Kingdom see that the country bumpkins of the Breezy Plains are not to be trifled with! " Claus turned around, and sneered at the people behind him. Without waiting for them to answer, he took the lead to dash out and fly in the direction of Helena Port.
"Hehe, I've been holding my breath talking to them for the past few days. Let them see that the people of the Breezy Plains are not so easily fooled." Mogadi, the president of the Blood Moon Clan, clenched his fists with a menacing smile, and spread a pair of wings on his back. He then followed closely behind Claus.
When the rest of the people saw that the two top forces, Claus and Mogadi, had gone, they naturally did not want to lag behind. Without even looking at Delano and the others, they cast their Power of Flight and flew towards Helena Port together.
Seeing this situation, Delano was a little dumbfounded. The reaction of the people of the Breezy Plains was clearly beyond his expectations. In his opinion, after he pinned the blame on the Tower of Dusk, those people should immediately draw a line with the Tower of Dusk. Otherwise, they would no longer want to continue cooperating with the Gilded Kingdom. However, to his surprise, this group of cowardly people who were supposed to be mercenary actually chose to openly go against the Gilded Kingdom at this juncture.
The original group of people of the Breezy Plains were all Legendary powerhouses, and the weakest were at level-22 or level-23. There were also many who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm. Such a force might not dare to say that they could go against the entire Gilded Kingdom, but it would not be a problem for them to deal with Delano's Fifth Fleet.
Delano didn't know if he was angry or scared. He pointed in the direction that the crowd had left, and was speechless for a while. Of course, with the speed of those Legendary powerhouses, they wouldn't be able to hear him at all even if he stomped his feet and cursed.
At this moment, Forcus finally followed them in. His face was frighteningly pale, and even his lips were trembling slightly. As soon as he entered, he pointed at Delano, and exclaimed in a trembling voice, "Delano, is this what you want!? Do you know that you've caused a huge disaster!? "
Given Delano's character, even if he knew that he was wrong, how could he admit it at this juncture? He turned to look at Lin Li angrily, and said with a sullen face, "Get those people to come back immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Bastard, hurry up and apologize to Master Felic!" Forcus hollered in exasperation before Lin Li could say anything.
As soon as Forcus came in from outside, he saw Claus and a group of Legendary-mages flying over his head towards Helena Port. How could he not know what they were going to do? He could imagine that the matter would definitely get out of hand if such a group of Legendary-mages went there. By then, even his teacher wouldn't be able to calm the impact of this matter, let alone him.
"Hmph, I'm not wrong in this matter. Why should I apologize? I don't believe that they would really dare to attack the Gilded Kingdom's navy. Aren't they afraid of starting a war!?" Although Delano already had an ominous feeling, he still didn't believe that the original people of the Breezy Plains would dare to openly go against the army of the Gilded Kingdom.
At this moment, Lin Li, who had been sitting there leisurely sipping his tea, calmly said, "There's no need for an apology. Not everything can be resolved with an apology. If there's nothing else, please help yourselves."
"Hmph, let's wait and see. Let's see how long you can put on an act!" Delano was no longer interested in staying there. After saying that, he turned around and left with his subordinates.
Forcus looked at Lin Li in despair, and then looked at Delano who was leaving with his men. In the end, he gritted his teeth and chased after Delano. He knew that it was impossible for him to persuade Lin Li to stop. After all, Lin Li's ship and sailors had been detained, and the key to resolving this matter was still Delano.
"Delano, do you really want to challenge us to a war with the Breezy Plains!?" Forcus yelled in exasperation as soon as he left.
However, Delano glanced at Forcus in disdain, and said, "The Tower of Dusk is harboring criminals of the kingdom, and their sinister intentions are obvious. Those people of the Breezy Plains don't know what's good for them, and want to go against us with the Tower of Dusk. Who wants to start a war? I don't believe that a bunch of country bumpkins would dare to attack us. I'd like to see how bold they are! "
After saying that, Delano flew towards Helena Port with several Legendary powerhouses under him. Although Delano's strength was not yet at the Legendary-level, he had a Sanctuary powerhouse for a father, after all. Hence, he naturally had plenty of treasures. How could there be a lack of flying magical equipment that he could use to escape?
Seeing this scene, Forcus was completely in despair. He reckoned that the only way to resolve this farce was to ask his teacher to step in. At the thought of this, Forcus stopped chasing Delano, and turned around to cast the Power of Flight to fly in another direction in a bid to ask his teacher, Elder Zumar.
Seeing that Forcus did not chase after him, Delano's expression immediately changed, and he was no longer as unruly as before. Instead, he was filled with worry and panic. It was not that he was really afraid of nothing. He had originally created this matter because he wanted to embarrass the Tower of Dusk and vent his anger for making a fool of himself in public previously. However, if this matter really caused a war between the Gilded Kingdom and the Breezy Plains, he did not know what the kingdom would do to him, but he was certain that he would definitely be taught a terrible lesson by his father.
Besides, Delano was well aware that those people of the Breezy Plains were all Legendary powerhouses. If they were to really fight with the Fifth Fleet, the Fifth Fleet would probably suffer a great deal of damage. Even though he didn't really care about the lives of those ordinary soldiers, it was related to his own pride. If his fleet were to be destroyed, wouldn't it be obvious to everyone that he was an incompetent fleet commander!?
At this moment, Delano still had a glimmer of hope in his heart that the people of the Breezy Plains would not be as courageous as they had appeared to be before. Perhaps they were just putting on a show for the president of the Tower of Dusk, and would only be obedient bystanders when they reached the port.
