Chapter 1841: Chapter 159: Wang Shouzhe, Cowardly and Fearful of Death
A gigantic black back slowly emerged from the sea, accompanied by gushing water columns and echoed with long wails.
Under the golden sunlight, the colors between heaven and earth were magnificent and dazzling, vast and far-reaching, with only sporadic life dotting the landscape, as if it were a meticulously painted picture.
However, beneath the unseen depths of the ocean, turbulent undercurrents and ruthless hunts were brewing.
At the horizon where the sea and sky met.
Several ironclad ships were cutting through the waves, charging forth from the other side of the horizon, from the endless sea.
The leading flagship was over thirty zhang long, its entire body covered in dark iron armor. Under the sunlight, the colossal ship’s frame glinted coldly, like a moving maritime steel fortress, deeply awe-inspiring.
This enormous ironclad ship is called “Ping’an,” the latest ironclad warship successfully built and launched by the Wang family, with a total cost comparable to a Divine Spiritual Treasure.
Of course, correspondingly with the expensive cost is its formidable performance.
On the Ping’an, no less than fifty-two of the latest Divine Might Cannons are installed, with the two largest, the bow and stern cannons, being veritable giants among the Divine Might Cannons, capable of firing pre-loaded explosive shells over a hundred li away.
Even for a Purple Abode Realm cultivator, being hit head-on would most likely end in a miserable outcome.
Of course, Purple Abode Realm cultivators fly at extremely fast speeds and are humanoid creatures with relatively small sizes. Firing the gigantic Divine Might Cannons at them is truly like using cannons to hit mosquitoes, with an appallingly low hit rate.
However, Divine Might Cannons have their uses. In naval battles or when bombarding ports and other locations, their lethality and destructiveness become evident.
Especially when bombarding Defensive Arrays, they’re much more efficient than a cultivator using Magical Treasures and Mysterious Techniques for direct attacks.
In addition, Divine Might Cannons are also quite effective against some large-sized fierce beasts.
In fact, the demons on the extraterritorial battlefield are also a civilized race. They are aggressive invaders and enslave many powerful large-sized fierce beasts for their use. Therefore, these Divine Might Cannons are also very effective for city defense.
Moreover, the Wang family’s research into Divine Might Cannons is still delving deeper, and even Wang Shouzhe does not know the extent to which they may develop in the future.
It’s no longer like the past. Given his current depth of knowledge, if he were to meddle in research, he’d basically get kicked out.
Compared to specialized researchers, his only remaining advantage is his “insight” and “imagination.”
Regarding “imagination,” some ideas could still be adopted by his daughter, Wang Liyue.
This ironclad fleet represents the peak of the Wang family’s current naval warfare capability.
And now, this ironclad fleet is headed towards Mozhao Country.
Yes!
Wang Shouzhe is taking an entire ironclad fleet and half a battalion to raid a dungeon together.
On the bridge ship.
King Chaoyang was enjoying the sea breeze, relishing a leisurely journey.
However, as she looked at Wang Shouzhe, her gaze was rather detached: “Shouzhe, earlier when I told you to be cautious, just consider that I was talking nonsense and forget it.”
King Chaoyang had fought battles all her life and had never seen anyone as fearful of death as Wang Shouzhe.
She thought Wang Shouzhe would probably bring a few people, travel lightly, and return after completing the task. Who would have thought…
This isn’t going out to run an errand! This is clearly going to war, isn’t it?
Even the Immortal Emperor traveling doesn’t have a setup like this.
As a result, King Chaoyang was a bit regretful at that moment.
Why did she voluntarily say she’d protect Wang Shouzhe? Wouldn’t it be better to stay at Stay Immortal Residence, play cards, and sip tea? She was worrying about him for nothing.
Look at the kind of guards he has around him? Shadow Snake Demonic Princess Ji Yueer, Lingyun Sacred Master Jiang Zhencang, Emperor Xiu’s clone, the Old Water Dragon, uh…and the Whale Dragon King Dragon Crystal, along with a bunch of Level Seven to Level Ten Dragon Whales escorting in the water and many Water Element Azure Dragons escorting in the sky.
Of course, not to mention adding herself, King Chaoyang, as this foolish one.
Also, he actually brought the Edict of Immortal Emperor with him!
She really couldn’t figure out how many trump cards Wang Shouzhe had. Heaven knows what else he was hiding secretly.
“Uh… hehe, being cautious never hurt anyone,” Wang Shouzhe said a bit awkwardly, “Being well-prepared can prevent many unexpected events. Didn’t you say that I’m important to the human race, and I can’t be careless?”
“You call this not being careless? This is being too afraid of death.” King Chaoyang glared at him fiercely, “I’m going back to rest, and play some cards with them.”
“Farewell, Your Highness,” Wang Shouzhe bowed.
After King Chaoyang left.
Wang Shouzhe paced to the bow.
Under the enormous Divine Might Cannon at the bow, there was a comfortable spirit bamboo recliner, inside of which lay a giant-headed fat fish about two or three zhang long.
The giant-headed fat fish, wearing sunglasses, was contentedly swaying its tail, flanked by two “domineering” sisters with particularly voluptuous figures. They were all transformed from Level Nine Dragon Whales, and they were all smiling and attending to their Kunfish young master.
“Young Master Zongkun,” Dragon Whale Sister A said as she massaged Wang Zongkun, asking with care, “You swam a hundred li in one go for the reconnaissance earlier, must have tired you out, right? Do your fins feel sore? Shall I give them a rub?”
“Ang Ang!”
The giant-headed fat fish made a comfortable sound, slightly opened its huge mouth.
