Chapter 1012: Mysterious Fleet (Part One)
While speaking, the loud, earth-shattering explosions disappeared. It was clear that the initial battle was over.
Without a doubt, the magic watchtowers and the defensive setups were all eliminated.
While magic flames burned, the magic lookout arrays were activated. The people on the harbor of Byzantine saw that about ten kilometers away on the sea surface, a mysterious fleet appeared. There were so many military ships that they looked like ants in an ant colony; it was uncountable. The fluttering flags showed red and blue as they snapped in the wind, looking like many vicious and cruel long dragons.
“So fast!”
On the kingship of Byzantine, King Constantine and others were all shocked.
The number of enemies and their speed far exceeded the estimates.
This force was powerful and fear-inducing.
Although the battleships in the front were only about ten kilometers away, it seemed like this fleet extended to the horizon where the sea and the sky merged. Even the level 6 Leon Empire couldn"t have a navy with these many ships and speed. There probably wasn"t a navy in the Northern Region of Azeroth that was this powerful.
“Could it be that this troop is from other regions on the continent?”
About 100 kilometers away from the coastline, the Byzantine Kingdom set up many visible and hidden watchtowers and checkpoints, and many Star-Level Warriors were stationed there with magic warning scrolls made by Chambord. If strange things happened, they could instantly issue a warning.
In normal situations, even if enemies were invading the Byzantine Kingdom, they would know about it half a day prior.
However, it was different this time. This mysterious fleet only exposed themselves when they were so close to the coastline, and only the watchtowers much closer to land could send the warning.
The only way that this would have happened was that the Star-Level Warriors and magic watchtowers were instantly destroyed by the enemies before they could react.
“Pa.s.s my order! Initiate the coastline magic arrays! Initiate the protective energy shields around the battleships! Prepare for battle!” Although he was young, King Constantine of Byzantine was experienced. He was shocked to his core, but he didn"t panic as he commanded the military in order.
“Ah…. This, this, this… King Constantine Your Majesty, we need to go.”
“Oh yeah. I suddenly remembered that I have another important errand to run. We need to go back to our kingdom now. Farewell.”
“I need to return to my kingdom and report to my lord. We will immediately come back with reinforcements!”
Seeing the severity of the situation, the envoys of other affiliated kingdoms who were here to partic.i.p.ate in Byzantine"s grand celebration were all terrified. Since they were only here because the Byzantine Kingdom was on the rise, they all found excuses and fled as quickly as possible after seeing this.
Constantine didn"t force these people to stay. He ordered the soldiers to drop small vessels and move these people onto the land. After all, these people would only be burdens in the upcoming battle.
“Yuck! What a bunch of cowards!” Little Luffy cussed in disdain.
As Fei"s second disciple, Luffy was only 12 years old, but he was as strong as an adult. Perhaps it was because he cultivated a technique of the Demon Clan in the Mythical Era, he was already 1.75 meters tall, close to six feet, and he was handsome. While wearing a white robe, his aura and temperament were similar to that of Fei.
This little guy stood on the deck in determination and looked at the many enemy vessels. Instead of feeling scared, he looked excited and wanted to battle.
“King of Byzantine, I will return to [King Alexander] and issue reinforcement signals, asking the navy and air force of Chambord to come here and help. I want to see who is tired of living and dares to wage war against our Zenit!” Little Luffy sounded a little overbearing.

All these days, except for cultivating, he spent most of his time with Sparrow and Barbossa who were like hooligans. He picked up their hooligan-like tone and sounded shameless and a little arrogant, similar to how Fei was when he just stepped out of Chambord.
Young people are usually a little ignorant and aggressive, so they aren"t afraid of anything.
Constantine smiled and replied, “No need to hurry. Alexander His Majesty already planned for such an incident, and he left powerful fist spiritual spatial seals in the air about five kilometers away from the coastline. It is meant to stop enemies from invading. Right now, it could be used. When the enemies are within five kilometers of the coastline, you will have a good show to watch.”
“Huh? Master already antic.i.p.ated such an event?” Little Luffy admired his master to the extreme! It was almost a type of worship.
While Luffy and Constantine were talking, that mysterious navy force was already less than six kilometers away from the coastline. Like arrows that were loaded onto bows and were ready to shoot out, the battleships moved toward the harbor murderously.
“Issue warnings! Tell them to stop immediately and report their name! Otherwise, Byzantine won"t show any mercy!”
King Constantine of Byzantine decided to be friendlier first before using force to better understand the enemies.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streaks of magic arrows soared into the sky, signaling danger and issuing warnings.
However, the mysterious navy completely ignored all of it. Instead, they responded by firing their magic cannons, instantly destroying several floating watchtowers of Byzantine. The enemies were arrogant.
It seemed like this battle couldn"t be avoided.
As the king, Constantine stood at the bow of the kingship and issued many orders one after another.
He experienced all kinds of trials and tribulations when he was young, and his fate only changed after he met Fei. After that, he rose in power and battled alongside Fei. He had a lot of sea battle experience, and he had cultivated [Seven Injure Fist] to level 10, reaching mid-tier Half Moon Realm. He had an impressive aura around him, and he was one of the top-tier kings among all the affiliated kingdoms of Zenit.
In the blink of an eye, the mysterious fleet was less than two kilometers away from the coastline.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the rumbling noises of the magic cannons resonated in the sky, streaks of magic energy beams shot out of the enemy battleships and dashed toward the navy and harbor of Byzantine.
By doing this, the enemies made it clear that they were going to do a ma.s.sacre, destroying all battleships and cities and killing everyone without even trying to persuade the people to surrender.
The viciousness and cruelty of the enemies were shown.
“Reckless!” Constantine and the generals beside him were enraged by the enemies" arrogance and murderous spirit.
“d.a.m.n b*stards! You will soon cry out loud!” Little Luffy clenched his teeth and sneered, “d.a.m.n it! Even more aggressive than my master!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
While the magic energy beams shot onto the battleships of Byzantine, many green magic energy shields appeared around the battleships and blocked the terrifying attacks. These battleships were all modified by the forge masters of Chambord, and they were equipped with semi-G.o.d-tier protective runes. Ordinary magic cannons couldn"t penetrate the defense.
Those magic energy beams shooting toward the coastline were also blocked by magic energy flames that soared into the sky. High-level defensive magic arrays were put in place on the coastline as well. Fei had set up these arrays himself, and they could block all attacks below peak Full Moon Realm. The magic energy beams weren"t strong enough to break them and pose threats to the Byzantine Kingdom.
