As soon as the Mysterious-Iron Sailboat finished speaking, the entire harbor fell silent as everyone stared at the approaching Storm Sailboat.
"Mysterious-Iron Sailboat?"
"How is that possible?!"
Sailboats were unattainable treasures to small Guilds and adventurer teams at sea, but to the various major powers present, ordinary sailboats were nothing.
Even a Bronze Sailboat would only cause them to gasp in amazement.
After all, it was only a matter of time before these superpowers obtained a Bronze Sailboat. After all, the various major naval powers had information on Bronze Sailboats. As long as they had the strength and resources, obtaining a Bronze Sailboat wouldn't be difficult for them.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many superpowers with Bronze Sailboats.
However, a Mysterious-Iron Sailboat was a different story.
Until now, they hadn't even found a clue about a Mysterious-Iron Sailboat, much less a Mysterious-Iron Sailboat. Moreover, although a Mysterious-Iron Sailboat was only one rank higher than a Bronze Sailboat, the difference between the two sailboats was like heaven and earth.
A Bronze Sailboat's Defense wasn't much higher than an ordinary sailboat's. The main difference was its firepower. However, upgrading a Bronze Sailboat to Mysterious-Iron Sailboat would increase its Defense by a whole new level. It could even block attacks from Great Lord ranked sea monsters without worrying about its Durability.
As the levels of the sea regions increased, the number of Great Lord ranked sea monsters would increase as well. It might be fine if they only had to face two or three Great Lord ranked sea monsters, but if they had to face five or six of them, even a Bronze Sailboat would suffer some damage. Sailing at sea for long periods of time would be very difficult, not to mention traveling to other dangerous locations.
"Crap! It really is a Mysterious-Iron Sailboat! "
"A Mysterious-Iron Sailboat?! If our Guild had one, we'd be invincible in Level 100 sea regions! "
"Amazing! A Mysterious-Iron Sailboat?! Who are those people?! "
The various major powers were both shocked and curious as they watched the Storm Sailboat approach. They hadn't thought that Giant's Heart, a superpower with a Mysterious-Iron Sailboat, would participate in this expedition to Starfall Island.
While everyone was quietly discussing the situation, the Storm Sailboat stopped at Starfall Island's harbor.
As Sinned Heart and the others disembarked from the ship, many of the players present recognized them. Immediately, a commotion broke out among the crowd.
"Sinned Heart? Does that Mysterious-Iron Sailboat belong to Immortal Light? "
"Impossible! How could a Guild like Immortal Light possess a Mysterious-Iron Sailboat? Our Guild has investigated Immortal Light thoroughly. Immortal Light doesn't even have a Bronze Sailboat. How could it possibly have a Mysterious-Iron Sailboat? "
As for the various major powers that partnered with the Freedom Alliance, they more or less knew about them. In particular, the upper echelons of these partnered forces would conduct a detailed investigation on them. Meanwhile, Immortal Light had always been a thorn in the side of the Freedom Alliance due to its share of over 10% of the Freedom Alliance's resources.
But now, looking at the genuine Storm Sailboat, they felt a little confused.
"No! Look, there's no Immortal Light Guild Emblem on that sailboat! " Soon, a player noticed something amiss. "The person walking beside Sinned Heart looks like Ling Yi's Ye Feng!"
Hearing someone say this, everyone couldn't help but look carefully.
"It's true. That person is indeed Ling Yi's Ye Feng. I've seen him in the Freedom Alliance's battle videos before. It seems this Storm Sailboat should belong to Ling Yi."
"Ling Yi is even more amazing than the rumors say. He actually has a Mysterious-Iron Sailboat."
"It seems Immortal Light came prepared this time!"
"So what if Immortal Light has Ling Yi's support? Strength speaks louder than words at sea. Moreover, Ling Yi is only a pseudo-superpower on land. How can he possibly compare to large Guilds like us, which have been lurking at sea all this time? "
…
The various major powers' players sneered as they looked at the Shifeng's group.
The current situation at sea was no longer the same as it had been in the past. In the past, relying on a powerful ship could indeed bring a lot of advantages, but times had changed. It was no longer the era when ships were scarce. Now, let alone first-rate powers, even third-rate powers had complete fleets of their own.
"So, that's the rumored Ling Yi? I hadn't expected him to have a Mysterious-Iron Sailboat. It's no wonder why he dared to oppose Dragonheart Island's War Blood adventurer team. " Not far from the port, a tall and handsome man wearing the Giant's Heart emblem glanced at the Storm Sailboat with interest in his eyes.
"A Mysterious-Iron Sailboat is pretty good, but it's a pity that it's only convenient for grinding monsters. It can't change anything at sea," the blue-haired woman said calmly. "Moreover, they've offended Starlink, which is nurtured by that old fart. Their future is uncertain." "That's right," the blue-haired woman said nonchalantly.
Although Ling Yi's Storm Sailboat had caused quite a commotion at the port, it was only a small interlude before the Freedom Alliance announced the redistribution of resources.
Under the guidance of the Freedom Alliance's receptionist, the various major powers' representatives entered the reception room of the Freedom Alliance's Residence one after another. Once everyone had arrived, the Freedom Alliance's twelve commanders entered the room as well, immediately attracting the attention of many in the room.
Compared to the last time Shifeng had attended the Freedom Alliance's meeting, the Freedom Alliance's various fleets had clearly grown stronger. This was especially true for the First Fleet, which sat in the center of the room. Although the First Fleet only had two people, both of them were peak experts. This was especially true for the middle-aged commander.
The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties, and his calm demeanor carried a hint of wildness. He looked like an experienced veteran mercenary. He was also a Level 97 Berserker.
Behind the middle-aged commander was a short-haired Assassin youth, who radiated a biting cold aura. Even Sinned Heart, who sat some distance away from the middle-aged commander, felt pressured when he looked at the youth.
Just these two players alone could cause a lot of trouble for the various superpowers. It was no wonder why Silent Entropy and Passing Monarch's group had been suppressed by them.
"Now that everyone's here, I'll talk about our new partnership," Flame Robber said, glancing at First Fleet. Flaming Robber, the commander of the First Fleet, who had remained silent all this time, swept his gaze across the crowd. Suddenly, he said, "The Freedom Alliance's resources are no longer what they used to be, and more powers are targeting us. Hence, the Freedom Alliance has decided to re-select some capable partners to ensure stability and benefits in the future."
"As for how you'll prove your strength, that's simple. Starfall Island has a batch of precious materials that cannot be stored. I hope you can safely transport them to the Chaos Sea's Ghost City. So long as the goods arrive safely, you'll qualify."
As soon as Flame Robber finished speaking, the various major powers' representatives' expressions turned ugly. Sinned Heart's expression darkened.
The Chaos Sea was the domain of the dark forces. The players there were like madmen, and they only knew how to kill. Moreover, the Chaos Sea's Dark Players were much stronger there. Some could even control powerful sea Demonic Beasts as mobile and combat tools. Even an elite fleet would suffer heavy casualties in the Chaos Sea. Hence, many naval superpowers avoided the Chaos Sea, not wanting to have anything to do with the Chaos Sea.
If Immortal Light, which was barely a first-rate naval power, entered the Chaos Sea, they'd be dead for sure.
"Big Sis Leaves, Flame Robber has lost his mind. He's actually setting up such a test. He's obviously trying to eliminate at least 80% of his partners. Many of the powers supporting his side will be eliminated as well. What is he thinking?" A Level 96 female Cleric from the Fourth Fleet asked, confused. Flame Robber's decision was akin to harming his own forces.
"No, he hasn't lost his mind. I'm afraid that Passing Monarch's side will suffer the most." Hundred Leaves, the Fourth Fleet's commander, couldn't help but admire Flame Robber, who had just become the First Fleet's commander, when she saw Passing Monarch's ugly expression. "Passing Monarch's fleet is composed of independent adventurer teams. He doesn't have any financial strength or background. Now that he has Immortal Light's full support, he'll most likely lose that support. He might not even be able to maintain his position among the top five in the next resource competition."
While the Freedom Alliance's other fleet commanders rejoiced in Passing Monarch's misfortune, the handsome man representing Giant's Heart glanced at the Shifeng's fleet.
"What a pity. I thought I'd get to see the Mysterious-Iron Sailboat's power, but I won't be able to." The handsome man sighed inwardly.
"I've long since said that a single ship isn't enough to establish a foothold at sea in this day and age," the blue-haired blue-haired woman said, rolling her eyes. The blue-haired woman rolled her eyes at the handsome man. "Let's move quickly. If it's nighttime, it'll be even more dangerous over there."
The handsome man didn't say anything else. He then stood up and followed the blue-haired woman out of the reception hall.
The other first-rate naval powers in the reception hall promptly took action. They might not be naval superpowers that could contend with Chaos Sea's Dark Players, but if they were lucky and cautious, they might have a chance of passing the test.
"Brother Ye Feng, I've troubled you to come all the way here. You even brought the Storm Sailboat with you. I never thought that such a test would occur. However, I still intend to give it a try alone. Although the Chaos Sea is the Dark Forces' territory, it is so large that we might not run into them," Sinful Heart said as he gritted his teeth. Sinned Heart gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk alone. After all, the Freedom Alliance's resources were too important to Immortal Light.
"Brother Dark, you don't have to take responsibility for everything. Ling Yi is one of Immortal Light's major shareholders. Moreover, this matter concerns the resources Ling Yi needs. Naturally, Ling Yi will have to go as well," Shifeng said, shaking his head as he glanced at Flame Robber.
