There were a total of five ships with unique shapes.
There were no propellers or sails. The deck was very wide, and it looked like a tall building had been built on it … Of these five ships, one was large and four were small. The largest ship was comparable to a modern aircraft carrier, and it was like a huge fortress sailing on the sea.
At the bow of the largest ship, there was a huge statue of a ten-meter-tall woman. It looked like an enchanting woman. Her long hair flowed down her smooth back, but her lower body had a sudden change, like a fish tail, coiled into an arc.
There were similar statues on the bow of the other ships. They were not as huge, but they were also five or six meters high.
At this time.
A man wearing a black crane cloak with two dark red long sabers hanging on his waist was standing next to the ten-meter-tall statue, looking at the end of the sea. He had a cold expression on his face and two dark red long sabers hanging from his waist.
"How far is the Da Xia Kingdom?"
"Master Nishimura, according to our current speed, we should be able to see the coastline of the Da Xia Kingdom in about an hour."
"At that time, under your leadership, we will definitely be able to build our own home and create glory again."
A woman who looked like a female secretary bowed respectfully.
But she wasn't pretending.
The man in front of her, Master Nishimura, was famous in the Sakura Kingdom. His dual-blade technique had reached the pinnacle, and he had killed countless strong enemies. He was honored as the "Limitless Swordsman"!
The "Sky Wolf Temple" he founded had integrated several major forces on the Nine Skies Island, becoming the most promising superpower to unify the Nine Skies Island.
"… If it weren't for Leviathan's attack, perhaps you would have unified the entire Nine Skies and pointed your sword at this island."
Nishimura's expression didn't change. He quietly looked at the sea. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a long while, he said:
"The Nine Skies Island is too small and too barren. Only the vast land of the Da Xia Kingdom is what I look forward to."
"The mainland island is the same. It's constantly being attacked by sea beasts. Our Heavenly Wolf Temple has a few giant ships from the Fourth Epoch. That's why we're able to cross the ocean and escape from our predicament. As for the others, even the super forces on the mainland island, in my opinion, they can only be trapped on that island. One day, they'll be attacked by a giant sea beast like Leviathan and die."
Nishimura's tone was indifferent.
More than a month ago, he was still a Ninth Awakened. Although he was strong, he was not invincible.
Until he mistakenly entered the Jiuchuan Country Mystic Realm.
The master of the Fourth Era, who originally owned the Secret Realm, made a mistake during his awakening. When Nishimura mistakenly entered the Secret Realm, he happened to see a few people struggling to climb out of the container with withered faces. So, he decisively killed the few Fourth Era Awakeners and occupied the entire Secret Realm for himself.
Not only did he obtain seven giant battleships, but he also obtained countless techniques and blueprints related to giant battleships. He had even ingested a Sacred Fruit of Life, allowing him to make breakthroughs one after another, reaching the peak of the thirteenth layer in one go.
From then on, West Village was invincible. The wilderness was no longer a dangerous place for him.
Even if it was a disaster-level demonic beast, although he wasn't its opponent, he could easily escape.
However, a week ago, the deep-sea behemoth Leviathan appeared. Its body was larger than an aircraft carrier. With a sweep of its tentacles, the huge naval base was reduced to ashes.
The energy cannon made by the Heavenly Wolf Temple blasted the Leviathan's body. The wound it caused was insignificant compared to the deep-sea behemoth itself. Countless sea beasts rushed onto the land. There was almost no place for humans to stand on the Nine Skies Island.
The Heavenly Wolf Temple had long been prepared to cross the Great Xia Kingdom, so they didn't lose much power.
Relying on the Eternal Rune Cannon of the main ship and the mermaid statue that made the sea beasts retreat, they successfully broke through after losing a secondary ship.
During the few days of sailing at sea, they also lost a secondary ship. Now, there were only five rune battleships left, but they were about to reach the Great Xia Kingdom. The coastal waters were far less dangerous than the deep sea. Nishimura was full of confidence.
The female secretary was infected and looked excited, "My Lord, you're right. The Nine Skies Island is too barren. We can't build rune battleships. But the Great Xia Kingdom has been vast since ancient times. Maybe we can build a more advanced rune battleship. At that time, even the Leviathan would be nothing!
The technology of the Fourth Era was really powerful! That must have been the strongest era in the history of Earth. But I don't know what happened in the middle that actually caused those technologies to be completely cut off.
But now, my Lord, you have obtained the inheritance of the Fourth Era. This must be the choice of the world. Under your leadership, we will definitely be able to build more rune battleships. One day, we will be able to conquer the entire sea, and even the entire world! "
The ship rode the wind and the waves. On the huge statue at the bow of the ship, an invisible wave spread in all directions.
The originally turbulent waves suddenly calmed down when the ship sailed past. The sea beasts that sensed the movement turned around and swam in another direction.
…
"In the Fourth Era, the sea was also very dangerous. In the early period, there were traces of Transcendents and even more sea beasts. But in the middle period of the Fourth Era, human Transcendents gradually hid their traces. But on the sea, there were still legends of giant deep sea beasts."
Yan Dingtian glanced at the cards in his hand, threw down three Aces, and continued, "Now that I think about it, those terrifying legends should have been caused by the Transcendent Sea Beasts. Transcendents have a long lifespan, and the beasts … live much longer than humans. From the early period of the Fourth Era to the middle period … I wouldn't be surprised if they lived until the end."
Tang Yu frowned and said, "I can't afford it." Then he asked.
"The three major countries are world-class countries. But they can't transport goods by land, right? Or did the three major countries equip every ocean-going ship with a high-power fusion cannon? Even so, it's still dangerous to face the Transcendent Sea Beasts, not to mention the transportation cost. "
Yan Dingtian shook his head, "The three major countries and some small countries with developed sea transportation know how to make a bow that can repel sea beasts and ensure the safety of navigation. Even if it's a giant deep sea beast, as long as it's not provoked, it won't attack the ship equipped with the bow."
Tang Yu rubbed his chin.
The bow of the ship was used to repel sea beasts, not to make them leave in disgust. He always felt it was a symbol to tell the sea beasts that the ship was under his protection. It seemed … related to the sea elves.
From Zhen, he learned that the elves had been protecting humans since ancient times.
"Quite advanced technology. I want it." Tang Yu rubbed his chin.
Yan Dingtian glanced at him, "Advanced my ass. The airship is the most advanced technology. The Alliance of Mages has a medium-sized airship and five small airships. That's why they became a world-class organization that even the three major countries were afraid of.
In that era, the top chamber of commerce used air transport for long-distance travel. Ordinary airships were enough to resist flying beasts and ensure safety. As for the Transcendent Flying Beasts, they should have been slaughtered by the three major countries' transcendents in the early Fourth Era. Every part of the Transcendent Beast is a treasure. If the Deep Sea Beasts dare to approach the coast, most of them will be slaughtered. "
Tang Yu thought about it and agreed.
Shipping by sea required a ship's bow. The cost might not be cheaper than airships, and the time required was much longer. Only those that couldn't fly would choose to ship by sea.
But … how could an old man like Yan understand the romance of the sea?
