It was undeniable that Grand Duke Lionheart's wealth was a lot. Zhao Hai calculated that the total value of his wealth was at least several tens of millions of gold coins. But this wasn't enough for the Radiant Church to send so many people to rescue him. One must know that if these people were to be found out, then the Radiant Church's operations in the Rosen Empire would be ruined.
But after thinking about it, Zhao Hai understood why the Radiant Church did this. They did this to win people's hearts! In the Radiant Church's Knights of the Round Table, there were a lot of important people in their respective countries. Although these people had high status, there were only a few who were higher than Lionheart.
Now that Lionheart was in trouble, if the Radiant Church didn't rescue him, then what would the other Knights of the Round Table do? Would they still wholeheartedly help the Radiant Church? In order to win the hearts of those people, Grand Duke Lionheart must be saved.
Because of this consideration, the Radiant Church mobilized almost all of their manpower in the Rosen Empire to rescue Lionheart. Moreover, they also sent six 8th rank Mages. Such a lineup couldn't be described as not luxurious. If they weren't afraid of being discovered by the Rosen Empire's 9th rank experts, then they would have sent 9th rank experts to rescue the Grand Duke.
Zhao Hai didn't rush to make a move on the Radiant Church's people. He knew that the Radiant Church wanted to get Lionheart's family out of the Rosen Empire. The best way to do so was to go by land and water. Moreover, the land route between the Rosen Empire and the other two empires was too far away, making it too easy to be discovered.
The Rosen Empire's coastline was very long, there were a lot of places that were uninhabited. As long as the Rosen Empire's navy patrolled the area, then going there would be no problem, it would be very safe.
Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to follow them. Then he figured out the identity of the people who came to help Lionheart. After dealing with the Grand Duke, he planned to write a list of names and give it to Calci.
Zhao Hai also knew that Calci didn't want him to participate in this matter because he wanted him to see the Calci Family's strength. So naturally, Zhao Hai wanted to show his strength, he wanted to let Calci know that his strength wasn't just for show.
However, in addition to following Grand Duke Lionheart, Zhao Hai also did another thing, which was to collect all the good things that the Grand Duke couldn't take away.
Actually, the fire in Grand Duke Lionheart's Mansion was set by Zhao Hai. The Grand Duke had already left, leaving behind an empty mansion for the Calci Family and the Shelley Family. But because Lionheart's matter was too sudden, there were a lot of good things in the mansion that he couldn't take away. For example, the furniture and the like, it was impossible for him to take them with him. He just wanted to leave an empty mansion for the Calci Family to ridicule them, he didn't plan to set the mansion on fire.
But when Zhao Hai saw that there were a lot of good things in the mansion, how could he let them go? Therefore, he took those old things and stored them inside the Space. Then when the Calci Family arrived at the Grand Duke's Mansion, Zhao Hai immediately set the place on fire.
Lionheart had a Space in his hand, it was a Space Ring. He stored all the valuable things in the mansion into the Space Ring and then took them with him.
The one who met them was a small noble. There were a lot of small nobles like this in the Rosen Empire. Every day, they would go around doing business in order to continue their family. In the Rosen Empire, they belonged to the group that was least noticed.
Because of this, Lionheart's group was able to smoothly escape from his territory. Moreover, there were people waiting for them as they headed towards a small noble's territory by the sea.
That small noble's territory wasn't suitable for establishing a harbor. Although they managed to establish a small harbor, they simply couldn't dock large ships. Because of this, the small noble could only sell his own salt. In the Rosen Empire, he belonged to the group that was forgotten.
Along the way, Lionheart's group was very careful. They moved at the normal speed of a merchant, they stayed in a normal inn, they hurried along the way. In short, there wasn't any abnormality.
However, Zhao Hai also discovered that the shops that they stayed in were all secretly operated by the Radiant Church. This was to cover their identities so that no one would be able to see through them. Naturally, Zhao Hai also noted down all of these places.
As Lionheart's group moved forward, Zhao Hai became more and more surprised. Along the way, the Radiant Church's people didn't give them any trouble, they didn't even get interrogated.
When Lionheart's group finally arrived at the small noble's territory, they let out a sigh of relief. They were going to board a small boat here, there would be a large ship waiting for them at sea. As long as they board a large ship, they would be able to live freely.
This small noble family was called the Eugene Family. They had a wave as their family emblem. In the Rosen Empire, their family was as inconspicuous as their emblem.
Zhao Hai quietly looked at the Eugene Family. He wasn't prepared to make a move inside the family's territory. This was because nobody knew that Lionheart was here. If he made a move here, it would cause too much of a ruckus. Instead, it would alert more people, and he might even be arrested as a bad person.
Zhao Hai was quietly waiting. At this time, Smith and the others were having a headache. Dealing with Lionheart was something that all the Great Nobles of the Rosen Empire agreed to. They thought that everything would go smoothly, but who would have thought that Lionheart would escape like a cicada shedding its carapace. Now, they were still looking for Lionheart, but they couldn't find any clues.
The most enthusiastic about attacking Grand Duke Lionheart were the Calci Family and the Shelley Family. The other Great Nobles weren't as enthusiastic about this. In their opinion, Lionheart's life and death had nothing to do with them. In any case, Lionheart had already run away, leaving his territory empty. The next step would be to snatch it.
Because of this, the Calci Family's search for Lionheart's whereabouts wasn't very smooth. It can be said that there was no progress.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai had been following Lionheart's group for the past few days. Therefore, he didn't go out and didn't see Smith. He just stayed inside Plum Blossom Courtyard to monitor Lionheart's movements.
Laura and the others naturally knew what Zhao Hai wanted to do. They didn't stay with Zhao Hai and instead followed Megan to play around Sky Water City. At this point, they had already become good friends with Megan.
When Megan saw that Zhao Hai didn't go out every day, she couldn't help but feel curious. She asked Laura what Zhao Hai was doing. Laura just smiled and said that Zhao Hai was busy. However, she didn't say what Zhao Hai was busy with.
Megan saw that Laura didn't say anything, so she didn't ask. This made her even more curious about Zhao Hai. She found out that Zhao Hai was really boring, he didn't go out for several days straight. This was simply unimaginable for her.
Zhao Hai didn't care too much about it. Now that Lionheart's group was about to go out to sea, for Zhao Hai, this meant that the battle was about to begin.
Lionheart and the others didn't stay in the Eugene Family's territory for a long time. They knew that the longer they stayed in Rosen Empire, the more dangerous it would be. They had already seen the influence of the Calci Family in Rosen Empire, so it was natural for them to be more careful. They wanted to leave Rosen Empire as soon as possible.
Lionheart and the others rested in the Eugene Family's territory for a day. The next day, they went out to sea on a small boat. The entire Lionheart Family had a total of 32 people, but there weren't many good people. Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient for them to travel.
Before long, the small boat slowly sailed into the sea. Zhao Hai could see a five-masted ship anchored in the sea. This ship was very big, it was much bigger than the Swordfish that Zhao Hai received before.
Most importantly, this ship was actually covered in iron armor. Moreover, looking at the appearance of this ship, it was definitely an ocean-going armed cargo ship. Besides being able to carry cargo, its fighting strength wasn't weak.
Zhao Hai carefully looked at the ship. The flag of the Ocean Waves Dynasty was painted on the ship. On the hull of the ship, there were three large characters, Sea God!
The entire ship's armor was more than ten meters thick. There were also magic cannons and ballistas on top of it. Some of the crew members were busy working on the ship. There were more than a thousand people on the ship.
Obviously, this ship was already loaded with cargo. Zhao Hai estimated that this ship could definitely be regarded as a cargo ship of a thousand people.
Good ship, Zhao Hai needed one right now. This time, the Radiant Church gave him one. Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh, the people of the Radiant Church were really good people. They were worthy of being servants of the Radiant God, they would give him whatever he wanted.
At this time, Grand Duke Lionheart and the others also boarded the ship. When the ship was about to set sail, Zhao Hai knew that it was time. His figure immediately appeared on the ship.
Naturally, he didn't just silently appear on the ship. First, he used a Dark Fog spell. Then, the fog slowly spread out and he appeared on the ship. He was still holding the Ghost Staff in his hand. At this time, the Ghost Staff didn't change, it was still in the shape of a skeleton.
A Ghost Staff with a skull on his head and a Black Mage's robe. When he appeared on the Sea God, if these people didn't know that Zhao Hai was a Dark Mage, then they would be idiots.
Naturally, these people weren't idiots, so they immediately noticed Zhao Hai. Especially Grand Duke Lionheart, when he saw Zhao Hai's attire, his face couldn't help but change.
This didn't mean that Lionheart was afraid of Dark Mages. Instead, it was because Lionheart thought of Zhao Hai's identity, the Calci Family.
The Calci Family was a family of Dark Mages. This time, Lionheart was forced into a corner by the Calci Family. Now that a Dark Mage suddenly appeared on the ship, what did this mean? No matter what other people thought, the first thought that came to Lionheart's mind was that the Calci Family had chased after them.
Lionheart's thoughts were different from the other Mages of the Radiant Church. They weren't Light Mages. In fact, Light Mages weren't popular in the Rosen Empire. If they sent Light Mages to help Lionheart, then they would only end up killing him. Light Mages were too conspicuous in the Rosen Empire.
