As the water giant hands lifted all the enemy warships into the sky, the Tidal Domain suppressed them, rendering them immobile.
The enemy forces were thrown into chaos, their warships not firing a single shot nor launching any attacks. They had even reached this place without setting foot on the land, completely losing their will to resist.
They tossed their helmets and armor aside, their faces filled with frustration.
Seeing this scene, Ji Chen waved his hand, dispelling the mana.
The water giant hands instantly turned into rootless duckweeds, scattering into the water, along with the warships falling back into the sea with a heavy thud.
Boom
The warships heavily struck the sea s surface, sinking down momentarily, then bounced back up as the water splashed skyward, drenching Gassani and his men.
At this time, the friendly forces, who had just finished their battles at the other two locations, arrived belatedly and brought this fleet s warships and personnel under control.
Only when they gained absolute control did Ji Chen dismiss the Tidal Domain.
For this skill, there was nothing to say but three words:
Overwhelmingly invincible!
No time was spared to count the casualties on both sides.
The three captured fleets reunited, and the guards and sailors of the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce looked at each other with embarrassment.
Never did they expect that after just a few hours of separation, they all turned into captives.
Lt could be said…
The three fleets reunited and set sail towards the New Moon Islands. After completing a full circle around the islands, they docked at the water fortress. A total of 38 warships from the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce formed a neat line as they sailed through the fortress gate and entered the secure inner dock for berthing.
Why weren’t there 40 warships?
Because two enemy warships were severely damaged in the battle, talcing in a large amount of water and sinking deep into the sea along with hundreds of their crew.
This was also the most severe loss suffered by the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce.
After mooring at the dock, the captives were bound one by one and lined up to disembark from the ships.
The residents of the Ocean Crown witnessed this scene and began to discuss it.
“Aren’t these the people from that Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce? They were defeated after just a few hours, they are so weak.11
“That’s right, it’s hard to believe they came to attack the Ocean Crown with such confidence. They are just too naive.”
“With Lord in charge, they couldn’t even set foot on the New Moon Islands, the only thing they achieved was becoming captives after their defeat.”
“So terrifying! Lord’s fortune in war is truly thriving!”
Looking at the residents pointing and whispering by the roadside, the captives looked downcast, their faces full of frustration, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground.
To kill is one thing, but to be defeated and captured is quite another!
They started out full of vigor, but now they were utterly embarrassed.
Among them, Gassani, hiding in the middle, was especially embarrassed.
What does it mean by he who sups with the devil should have a long spoon?
Now, not only did they fail to capture the islands, but he also became a captive himself.
As the mastermind behind two attacks, he didn’t know what fate awaited him.
Soon, Gassani found out what his fate would be.
That day, he was escorted to a dark and gloomy mine, where conditions were extremely harsh, and the labor intensity was incredibly high, guarded strictly.
The people assigned to this place as captives were all wicked and vicious individuals.
That day, as Willow emerged from the mine, looking weary and forlorn, dragging his exhausted body to collect today’s rations, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards the entrance.
He looked again, his expression first stunned, then filled with excitement and joy.
He threw down his iron pickaxe and sprinted towards the figure at breakneck speed.
Ln that instant, Gassani and Willow performed a touching scene of a master and servant reuniting.
As Wilus rushed to Gassani s side, Gassani hadn’t recognized him yet. He only saw a man with a dark complexion and a dirty face running towards him, which startled him.
Who is this person?
Why does his skin look so dark, like someone from the Southern Continent?
The influence of this territory is indeed quite extensive. They can even buy slaves from the Southern Continent…
“Master, it’s me! Your loyal servant, Willow!”
When this dark-skinned man spoke, revealing two rows of white teeth, Gassani finally recognized him with a horrified expression.
“Willow, so you’re not dead after all. But why are you here?”
Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Wilus” eyes, and he grabbed the hem of Gassani’s clothes with his dirty hands.
“Let’s not bring it up. Last time, i came here on your orders to launch a surprise attack on this territory. However, unexpectedly, we were ambushed, and everyone ended up being captured.”
“Finally, 1 was brought here and forced to eat pig-like food and sleep in a cattle-shed-like shack, living a hopeless life of mining! ”
“But now that Lord Gassani, you are here, it means you have conquered this place and driven away that lord, right?”
Speaking up to this point, Willow seemed to find redemption, raising his hands to the sky and laughing heartily.
“The Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce and your brilliance have finally shone even here!”
“I’ve endured so much suffering here, but rest assured, I haven’t yielded to the enemy’s cruelty. Even in this tortured state, I haven’t revealed a single bit of information about you!”
“My loyalty is unquestionable!”
“However, Lord Gassani, why are you not speaking? It should be a joyous occasion to eliminate that lord. Why does your expression look a bit strange…”
At this moment, Willow suddenly felt something amiss and asked in confusion.
Gassani immediately turned his head with an awkward expression, pretending not to have heard the question..
