Hence, as soon as Delano came out, he left his other subordinates behind, and hurried to the port with only a few Legendary-level powerhouses. He wanted to see how the situation was developing there so that he could make early preparations.
Claus, Mogadi, and the other people of the Breezy Plains, who had come out before Delano, had already arrived at the dock of Helena Port. In fact, on the way there, many of them were still thinking about whether they should fight with the Gilded Kingdom or just come here to put on an act.
However, when the people of the Breezy Plains arrived at the dock and saw the scene on the sea, they were completely dumbfounded. The sea at the port was no longer filled with the festive atmosphere they had when they first arrived. Instead, it was a chaotic mess.
In the sky, a massive monster was sucking a battleship of the Gilded Kingdom into the sky, and quickly disintegrating and devouring it. On the surface of the sea, apart from some relatively intact battleships of the Gilded Kingdom, there were more wreckages of various battleships, some of which had half of their hulls plunged into the sea, while others had been blasted into pieces. Fortunately, after this dock was designated as a special dock for welcoming guests, the civilian ships that were docked there had long been diverted to other ports. Otherwise, none of the civilian ships would have been spared in this battle.
On the surface of the sea, there were only about 10 battleships of the Gilded Kingdom's First Fleet that could maintain combat power, and only seven of them were giant alchemical battleships, while the others were ordinary ironclad frigates. Those battleships were still attacking the monster in the sky with full firepower, but no matter what kind of attack they launched, they could not cause any damage to the monster at all.
Just when the people of the Breezy Plains were still hesitating, a loud roar suddenly came from one of the giant alchemical battleships on the sea. Next, they saw a figure flying out of the violent explosion with a bright cleaver in his hand. Yes, he was holding a cleaver. That figure was none other than Cardson, who was known as the top divine chef of the Breezy Plains. The cleaver was his weapon and symbol.
Cardson was a Sanctuary powerhouse, and even if he could only be considered a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse, he was not someone that the people of the Fifth Fleet could contend with. Although there were many Legendary powerhouses in the Fifth Fleet, almost none of them could withstand Cardson's incomparably sharp blade.
As soon as they saw this scene, the people of the Breezy Plains knew that they would definitely win this battle. At that moment, everyone no longer hesitated. They took out their staffs and unsheathed their swords, and pounced towards the remaining battleships on the sea. The battle was already one-sided in the first place, and the addition of the Legendary powerhouses of the Breezy Plains accelerated the speed of the Fifth Fleet's defeat.
Soon after the people of the Breezy Plains joined the battle, Delano also arrived with a few subordinates. However, out of consideration for their safety, they did not get too close to the battlefield. Instead, they landed on top of a tower far away and watched the one-sided battle in the distant port.
After seeing the situation in the port, Delano's face turned extremely pale, and he was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Trembling, he muttered to himself, "H-How could this be? What should I do? What should I do!?"
The current situation had completely exceeded Delano's expectations, and he had never expected things to develop to this point. For as long as he could remember, he could do whatever he wanted in the Gilded Kingdom, and had never encountered any setbacks. However, when he looked at his fleet that had been crippled in the port, he felt fear and helplessness for the first time.
"Lord, the most important thing now is to think about how to end this matter," one of Delano's subordinates advised. Of course, seeing that the Fifth Fleet had been trampled to such a state, the subordinates hated Delano to the core, but he had a good father, so they had to remind him.
"End it? How can we end it like this? That bastard Hajis, what kind of bullsh * t idea did he come up with? We're going to die because of him!" Delano cursed angrily.
Upon hearing this, Delano's subordinates looked at each other, knowing that Delano had already found a scapegoat. However, they were Legendary powerhouses, and did not have to worry about being pushed to take the blame. Hence, they naturally couldn't be bothered to put in a good word for Adjutant Hajis.
"Lord, Lord Cantory has been dealing with these people in the Breezy Plains. Why don't we look for him to think of a solution?" the subordinate suggested to Delano.
Hearing this idea, Delano's eyes immediately lit up, and he eagerly said, "Yes, yes, go look for him, he definitely has a solution!"
In the Gilded Kingdom, Cantory was known as the best of the younger generation, not only because of his high talent, but also because of his unparalleled status. Cantory's father, who was the chancellor of the kingdom, seemed to be inferior to Delano's father, who was the high priest. However, Cantory's teacher was the high priest of the Illuminati. Based on that alone, even the princes of the kingdom were inferior to Cantory. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been the one to go to the Breezy Plains.
Delano could be considered Cantory's underling. Before Cantory went to the Breezy Plains, he had been following Cantory around, and they were like brothers when it came to eating, drinking, and having fun. The reason why Delano caused such a huge commotion was actually related to Cantory's remark about how rude the people of the Breezy Plains were after he returned.
"Hurry, come with me to look for Cantory, he definitely has a solution!" At the thought of this, Delano immediately regained his spirits, and dared not waste any more time. Hence, he hurriedly went to look for Cantory with a few subordinates.
Delano was rather lucky. Perhaps it was because the founding celebration was approaching, but Cantory did not go to the Illuminati at this time, and instead stayed in the chancellor's residence, which was not far from the royal palace. Delano hurriedly ran to the gate of the chancellor's residence, and barged in without waiting for the guard at the door to inform him. However, Delano was also considered a regular here, and the guards basically knew him. Hence, they didn't stop him.
Soon, Delano saw Cantory, who had just finished his meditation. Without waiting for Cantory to ask, Delano exclaimed, "Brother Cantory, you have to help me this time, I've gotten into big trouble!"
"Oh? What can stump you? That really makes me a little curious, "Cantory said with a smile, and raised his hand to gesture for Delano to sit down.
However, at this moment, Delano was no longer in the mood to sit down and talk slowly. With a bitter expression, he said, "Didn't I want to teach that guy named Felic a lesson? I initially wanted to teach him a lesson and let him know that this is the Gilded Kingdom, not the Breezy Plains. However, those guys have gone f * cking crazy, and aren't they afraid of starting a war? They actually dared to openly go against my fleet … "
Delano had nothing to hide in front of Cantory, and hence told him everything from the beginning when he was humiliated in public to how he came up with a plan to regain his dignity, as well as how things gradually got out of control.
"Damn it, they're too arrogant. How could these country bumpkins do such a thing!?" After hearing Delano's story, Cantory expressed his indignation.
"Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to ask you to help me think of a solution. If this goes on, my fleet will be destroyed." Seeing that Cantory seemed to be infuriated too, Delano was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly voiced his request in hopes that Cantory could step in and help him settle the matter.
However, Cantory was not someone a dandy like Delano could compare to. Hence, he naturally wouldn't agree to everything on a whim. Besides, he understood the Breezy Plains and the Tower of Dusk, and had also dealt with the young Sanctuary powerhouse of the Tower of Dusk before. Hence, he knew that the young Sanctuary powerhouse was not to be trifled with. Besides, Elder Zumar had repeatedly warned him not to provoke the young Sanctuary powerhouse. Hence, how could he stand up for Delano in this matter?
However, Cantory did not immediately reject Delano. Instead, he rolled his eyes, and smilingly said, "Delano, it stands to reason that the people of the Breezy Plains have indeed gone overboard this time, and I definitely can't stand by and watch. However, the other party is a Sanctuary powerhouse, after all. Even if I stand up, I won't be able to make them restrain themselves, unless I ask my teacher to step in … "
"Yes, yes, ask the Lord to step in. Even if that kid from the Tower of Dusk is a Sanctuary powerhouse, it would definitely be very easy for the Lord to kill him," Delano exclaimed eagerly and excitedly before Cantory could finish speaking.
The Lord of the Illuminati was a god-like existence in the Gilded Kingdom, and legend had it that when the Immortal King wanted to destroy the Gilded Kingdom, the Lord of the Illuminati was the one who chased the Immortal King away. Of course, that was just a legend, but since it could be passed down in the Gilded Kingdom, it was enough to show the position of the Lord of the Illuminati in their hearts.
Hence, as soon as he heard that Cantory wanted to ask the Lord of the Illuminati to step in, Delano immediately got excited, as if he had already seen the scene of the Lord of the Illuminati destroying the people of the Breezy Plains.
However, immediately afterwards, Cantory shook his head, and looked at Delano meaningfully. He said, "But if you ask my teacher to step in, he will definitely carefully investigate the cause of the whole matter. By then, not only will the people of the Breezy Plains have to pay the price, the other people who are responsible will definitely not be able to escape."
"Ah!" Delano was immediately dumbfounded when he heard those words, and didn't know how to react.
Indeed, Delano really didn't think of that problem. The Lord of the Illuminati was not like the officials of the kingdom, and wouldn't protect him for the sake of his father. Delano didn't dare to say that he wasn't responsible for this matter at all. If the Lord of the Illuminati really found out about it, even his father wouldn't be able to protect him.
"Well, no, I can't let your teacher know about this, but what should I do!?" Delano suddenly became a little dejected again, as if he had fallen from heaven into an abyss.
However, when Cantory saw this scene, he seemed to have expected it, and wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he smiled, and said, "Actually, this matter isn't a big deal, I don't have to ask my teacher to step in."
"What? There's another way!?" Delano seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw as he hurriedly took two steps forward, grabbed Cantory's sleeve, and anxiously asked, "What else can we do? Hurry up and tell me, I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect my fleet if we delay any longer."
Cantory quietly pulled his sleeve out of Delano's grasp, and then tidied his clothes a little before saying, "You've been too anxious. When you encounter such a thing, the person you should look for is your father. Not to mention that you're in the right now, even if you're not, would High Priest Poer still do anything to you!? "
As soon as Delano heard this, he immediately came to a realization, and exclaimed, "Yeah, so what if that kid from the Tower of Dusk is in the Sanctuary-realm? My father has already stepped into the Sanctuary-realm for many years, and it'll be a piece of cake for him to deal with him! Brother Cantory, thank you for your guidance, I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye! "
Delano bade farewell, and before Cantory could say anything, he turned around and ran out. After leaving the chancellor's mansion, he used his flying magical equipment again to increase his speed to the maximum, and dashed straight in the direction of his home. Although he didn't care much about the lives of his subordinates, he would become the biggest laughingstock of the Gilded Kingdom if the Fifth Fleet was destroyed by those people of the Breezy Plains. For the sake of his pride, he wouldn't allow the Fifth Fleet to be destroyed by those people of the Breezy Plains.
"Father, Father, you must uphold justice for me this time!" Before entering the door, Delano screamed miserably, and even messed up his clothes as he walked in, as if he had suffered a lot of torture.
"Delano, you're not young anymore, why are you still so immature? Why are you yelling?" High Priest Poer of the Gilded Kingdom was flipping through some information in the study at this time, and when he heard his son yelling in such a manner, he couldn't help but frown and chide him.
Although Delano shuddered after being reprimanded by his father, he quickly remembered the purpose of his visit, and sobbed. "Father, I can't be the commander anymore!"
"Why? Does His Majesty want to transfer you away?" High Priest Poer asked calmly. In fact, he didn't quite approve of his son becoming the commander of the Fifth Fleet. After all, no one knew better than him what his son was made of. However, on the one hand, his son had begged him, and on the other hand, the king had also taken the initiative to propose it. Considering that the Fifth Fleet usually wouldn't carry out any military missions, he agreed. However, deep down, he hoped that his son could learn magic from him honestly, and at least step into the Legendary-realm. Otherwise, his life would only last a few decades.
