Not only the sailors on the Flying Speed, but also others on the dock noticed this incredible fleet.
The harbor was eerily quiet for a moment.
If it weren't for the Graycastle flag flying at the top of the mast, and the people on board waving to them, everyone would have dropped their cargo and turned to flee!
Even the legendary ghost ships only appeared in the misty open sea, how could they brazenly pass in front of everyone in broad daylight?
It took more than half an hour for the incredible door to disappear, leaving only the fleet's receding figure on the sea.
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, probably no one would have believed that they had suddenly appeared from the empty sea.
"Alright, alright, everyone back to work!"
"Boss, what exactly was that..."
"His Majesty's secret fleet, it's best you know less about it!"
After coaxing the sailors away, White couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He decided to restrain himself in the future, to avoid such accidents happening again—although he had felt similarly before, this time he confirmed his opinion: the King of Graycastle had turned this world into something completely different from the one he was familiar with.
……
With the assistance of the Lord of the Sky Dome, Graycastle completed the army transfer to the northern section of the Continental Spine at an astonishing speed. In just one week, more than 100,000 people were moved from one end of the continent to the other, including about 20,000 regular troops, and military supplies and food sufficient to support a month's consumption.
This was definitely not an easy task. In order to maximize the efficiency of the Twisted Gate, Iron Axe personally went to Neverwinter to organize the initial preparations. The Kunpeng specialized as a transport plane, and Agatha transported the Red Mist in advance to the Black Stone Storage Towers built within the territory of Eternal Winter Wolfheart that had not yet been destroyed.
At the same time, in order to replenish magic power for Heikzord, Speer and Leaf accompanied him almost all the way, leaving the former with no time to catch his breath. Continuous Twisted Gates, coupled with the extremely strong execution of the Administrative Office, allowed this transcontinental transfer to be quickly realized.
Although many First Army soldiers were surprised by the Lord of the Sky Dome and the devils in the Continental Spine passage, Iron Axe's leadership prevented these questions from turning into problems, and the saying "devils have surrendered to the King of Graycastle and sworn allegiance" gradually arose in the team. Of course… Heikzord, who had been notified in advance, could only turn a blind eye to this, pretending he had never heard similar rumors, and suppressing all his complaints in his heart.
The nineteenth day of Roland's coma.
The front line has prepared for the attack on Misty Island.
In the staff headquarters, all senior executives are conducting the final tactical deduction.
"First of all, Lightning will launch flares over the destination to point out the direction for Ms. Eleanor. Then, the floating island will lead the way, entering the target area from the west."
Edith pushed the model representing the floating island to the west side of the map, "This step will take about three days. With the size of the floating island, it will inevitably be discovered by the Tianhai Realm."
"But even so, they don't have any good way to stop it." Heikzord said confidently, "The God-Made God was prepared for the Tianhai Realm's lair from the very beginning. Although this island is a bit smaller, its essence is also a true God-Made God. As long as it doesn't float over from the sea, the enemy can only watch in the water. Those acid globs spewed out by the Nest Mothers will only leave some black spots on the rocks at most."
"During this time, the enemy's threat to us is not great. The main task of the air knights is to suppress the opponent and clear a quarantine zone centered on the Bottomless Land." Philin. Silt placed a ruler horizontally in the center of the island, "Princess Tilly, I will leave this to you."
Tilly nodded.
"After the enemy's attention is drawn to the floating island, the First Army will appear from the due north and gradually advance south—the purpose of the army is to completely eliminate the remaining enemies, occupy the area surrounding the Bottomless Land, and buy time for Princess Anna to find the entrance to the Divine Domain." The Pearl of the North paused here, "According to Joan's account, there is a guide on the island who calls himself the Watcher, who may be able to open a real passage into the realm of consciousness for us."
"I remember telling you last time that I killed that Watcher." Heikzord reminded.
"Indeed, but we compared the information and believe that she wouldn't die so easily." Edith shrugged indifferently, "What you saw was a fellow clan ascender, while what Joan saw was a human female. Either the Watcher is actually an illusion, or there are several. Considering that there are no traces of human habitation on the island at all, the fact that she can stay there for thousands of years itself means she is extraordinary."
"But...will this person really lead us into the realm of the gods?" Wendy asked worriedly.
The scene fell into silence for a moment.
In fact, the second half of the plan has no reliable information to support it, and it is not even known whether such an entrance exists. Nightingale once told everyone about the "retrospective" fragments that Roland had seen in the dream world, which were also the only clues in their hands. However, those contents were too obscure and difficult to understand, and even Anna could not find many useful clues.
The only thing that can be confirmed at present is that the Watcher will only open the "Road to Heaven" for the victorious race that carries the complete inheritance. As for whether Roland is within her guiding scope, it is still unknown.
"If we don't try, this question will never have an answer." Anna said decisively.
This firm answer relaxed everyone's shoulders, and a little bit of confidence suddenly surged from the bottom of their hearts.
"I must remind you, humans." Silence suddenly said, "This battle is completely different from the wars you have known in the past. It will not unfold step by step. Once you come into contact with the Tianhai Realm, the subsequent steps will all proceed simultaneously. Whatever you want to do, you have to hurry."
"In other words, we have no chance to set up camp and slowly search this island?" Edith raised her eyebrows.
"Believe what it says." Heikzord shrugged, "Serozhaxi has been fighting the Tianhai Realm for most of the past century, so he should be the person who knows the enemy best here."
"Those monsters...are there really so many?" Philin couldn't help but ask.
"More than you can imagine." The Lord of the Sky Dome's tone showed a rare seriousness, "When they swarm in, the sea will turn into a thick ink black. Now that the Black Stone Domain has fallen into the hands of the Tianhai Realm, there is no longer any obstacle between them and the Bottomless Land. It is impossible to defend the island with so few people. Without subsequent support, it's just a matter of how long you can last."
"We never thought about staying on it for a long time." In the end, Anna came forward to interrupt the argument, "The floating island attracts firepower and provides support, the First Army quickly occupies the Bottomless Land area through the Twisted Gate, and searches for the Watcher's whereabouts at the same time. As for what to do next, it depends on the enemy's reaction—I didn't misunderstand, did I?"
"That's right, Queen Anna." The Pearl of the North placed her hand on her chest.
"Then start the action in two days!" Anna made a final decision, "In any case, we have to send Roland into the Bottomless Land—this is also the only way to end the War of Divine Will!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Everyone responded in unison.
