Roy stood at the bow of the Magic Airship. The sea breeze was strong, making the flags planted at the bow flutter loudly.

Two teams of Half-Elf stood on either side of the ship's side, carrying longbows on their backs.

Two Half-Elf mages controlled twelve Floating Device and two Propulsion Device, keeping the Magic Airship steadily floating in the air while slowly moving forward...

Since the Griffon Cavalry completely controlled the sky over Sun Island Bay, Roy wasn't worried about the Magic Airship being attacked. However, the giant wave summoned by the Toadfish Cavalry had almost swept him into the sea, and he was currently more than two hundred meters above the surface.

Giant waves surged around the island, and countless Fishmen Monster jumped from the island into the sea, their bodies quickly disappearing into the water.

The Griffon Cavalry, high in the sky, launched a volley of arrows at the Toadfish Cavalry Griffon Cavalry the island. Their movements were perfectly synchronized; with each dive, they unleashed a dense Armor-Piercing Arrow.

Although the Toadfish Cavalry were somewhat prepared, they had clashed with the Griffon Cavalry several times before and knew that the Fletched Arrow shot by the Griffon Cavalry could not harm them in the slightest, so they floated in the sea without a care.

At this moment, many of the Toadfish Cavalry heard fishmen roaring in the distance, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The fishmen who shouted these words were the Toadfish Cavalry that had retreated from the distant sea.

However, the Toadfish Cavalry near Sun Island were completely unaware of the approaching danger...

Before anyone knew what was happening, a hail of arrows rained down upon them.

The arrows even made a 'whoosh whoosh whoosh' sound as they fell.

The Toadfish Cavalry simply raised their hands to cover their faces.

But as these Armor-Piercing Arrow struck the Toadfish Cavalry, blood splattered everywhere, and a group of Toadfish Cavalry fell into the sea, while the huge toadfish writhed in the shallow water.

The entire northern coastline of Sun Island seemed to be boiling, with surging water everywhere.

Several Siren Captain looked up at the Griffon Cavalry flying in from the sky, their faces showing anxiety. The Orderly who went to the southern waters of Sun Island Bay had not been able to find Jiezena.

They had originally hoped that she could hum a lullaby for the enemy elves before the battle began.

Unfortunately, Jiezena hadn't appeared by the time the Griffon Cavalry launched their first attack on Sun Island...

At this moment, the other Siren Captain had no choice but to join forces to stand up.

The sky overhead was covered with dark clouds, and the cold, damp sea breeze made the sea surface turbulent, with wave after wave crashing onto the beach of Sun Island.

The Griffon Cavalry's attack caught the Toadfish Cavalry off guard, who hadn't expected the Toadfish Cavalry Griffon Cavalry to switch to Armor-Piercing Arrow.

As soon as the two sides made contact, the Toadfish Cavalry in the sea were all injured, and the giant Anglerfish were also thrashing about in the shallow water, seemingly also seriously injured by this volley of arrows.

Several Siren Captain unleashed Water Arrow Technique, and hundreds of Griffon Cavalry weaved through a hail of water arrows...

These griffins flew extremely fast, while the water arrows fired by the sirens, leading a group of Toadfish Cavalry, were only at a moderate speed, so these water arrows could not harm the griffins at all.

Left with no other choice, the Siren Captain exchanged glances as they watched the Griffon Knight flying haphazardly in the sky. They all understood what the other was thinking, so they could only join forces once again to summon a mountain-like formation.

Seeing the giant waves rising higher and higher, the Griffon Cavalry immediately flew away...

The Sun Island Naval Battle officially began.

At this time, Roy's Magic Airship had already flown to the vicinity of Sun Island, but Roy still had not found any trace of Miss Tiffany.

The Magic Airship finally arrived over Sun Island, and a rain of arrows was hurled down from Magic Airship. Unfortunately, the fishmen on the beach had vanished, and the Toadfish Cavalry had hidden beneath the surface of the sea.

Therefore, throwing arrows downwards from the Magic Airship would not cause any casualties to the Toadfish Cavalry...

They could only keep the Toadfish Cavalry trapped in the sea.

"Kaka, what secrets do you think are hidden on this Sun Island? What makes this merman army so determined to keep coming back here?" Roy asked Kaka behind him.

"I heard from Village Chief Tiprado that there might be a powerful expert hiding on Sun Island. There was a very skilled monster hunter in our village who infiltrated Sun Island several times. He found that as soon as he landed on Sun Island, he would be immediately discovered by the fishmen on the island. He felt that there must be a Second Rank expert hiding on Sun Island ..."

As the two spoke, the sea below continued to churn and splash.

The entire island was shaking incessantly...

Several Siren Captain stood atop the water wall, with sea-blue Ice Ball appearing between their hands.

Huge six-pointed star-shaped Magic Rune Array appeared beneath their feet.

As these Magic Rune Array slowly released boundless magical power, the Ice Ball between the Siren Captain's hands rapidly solidified, then, trailing a snow-covered tail, they crashed towards the Griffon Cavalry in the sky...

The Griffon Cavalry nimbly dodged the incoming Ice Ball.

But the next second, these Ice Ball exploded in mid-air, and countless icy auras swept across the entire sky.

The surrounding Griffon Cavalry were enveloped in this cold wave. Many of the griffins flying in the air were quickly covered with a thick layer of frost. The Half-Elf riding on the back of the griffin felt his body become extremely stiff instantly, and the griffins beneath him were also covered with thick ice and snow. Many of the frozen griffins fell from mid-air.

After falling only a dozen meters, the griffins dispelled the chill from their bodies and began struggling to fly back into the sky...

A large number of Toadfish Cavalry also emerged from the seawater beneath the Siren Captain, opening their abyssal maws and continuously shooting water arrows into the sky.

Suddenly, it was as if countless dazzling fireworks had burst in the sky. The Griffon Cavalry scrambled to increase their altitude, and many griffins were frostbitten by the Ice Ball...

Some of the Griffon Cavalry struggled to fly toward the Magic Airship Magic Airship and landed on its deck.

Inside the Cold Pond Cave on Sun Island, Lord Commander Latimore could only hide in the Cold Pond Pool every day as his body gradually turned into a zombie.

The Cold Pond inside the cave contains a large amount of preservatives. Lord Commander Latimore found this place because of the Cold Pond's unique properties. He searched many places in the Pattington Plane, and only this Cold Pond could slow down the rate of body turning into a zombie.

During his years hiding on Sun Island, Lord Commander Latimore had been searching for a magical potion that could cure the Corpse Poison in his body, but unfortunately the Elf Continent lacked even the most basic understanding of necromancers.

He had tried many other methods, but none of them could stop his body from turning into a zombie...

Lord Commander Latimore now felt his whole body stiffen; he looked like a withered tree.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in the icy cold Cold Pond, with only his aged face above the water. A faint layer of deathly aura had formed between his brows. He felt that the muscles in his chest and abdomen had completely stiffened, and with each breath, he could hear his bones Kaka.

As her most trusted follower, Jiezena has been quietly following Lord Commander Latimore all these years.

But recently, it seems that Jiezena has shown signs of a breakthrough. The way she looks at me has lost the reverence she used to have and gained a little more ambition.

Therefore, recently, Lord Commander Latimore has been on guard against Jiezena at all times...

Lord Commander Latimore's body, almost entirely covered in a thin layer of ice beneath the surface, was closed as he endured the last stinging pain from the cold.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the calm, still Cold Pond, and a huge shadow appeared beneath the Cold Pond, which was only about twenty meters in diameter. Lord Commander Latimore sighed softly, then spoke in a hoarse voice to the pool:

"Old friend, you were awakened from your slumber because a group of enemies has appeared on the island. They are Half-Elf living in this plane, and they want to take over this island..."

Lord Commander Latimore said only this much, and a large number of bubbles rose from the Cold Pond.

Then the dangerous aura below the Cold Pond completely disappeared, and the dark cave returned to its usual tranquility.

The tremors on Sun Island became increasingly noticeable, and even the seawater at the edge of the island began to become turbid and churned like a boiling pot.

Roy stood by the ship, preparing to let the Magic Airship land a little further down.

Before he could even communicate with the dwarf apprentice, a powerful aura surged into the sky from the island, and Roy felt as if that sharp aura wanted to pierce the sky with a sword...

The dwarf apprentices on the Magic Airship immediately sensed the danger and hurriedly increased the Magic Airship's altitude.

Meanwhile, the Griffon Cavalry lying on the deck also left the Magic Airship one after another...

Before Roy could even see what was happening beneath the island, dozens of enormous tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground right next to the edge of Sun Island's coastline. These tentacles resembled octopus tentacles, only many times larger.

Tentacles burst through the sand and rushed straight towards the Magic Airship in mid-air...

Since the Magic Airship was already floating two hundred meters above the ground, these Magic Airship didn't even have a chance to touch it.

One of the tentacles, at least tens of meters tall, swayed continuously along the edge of the island, extending and retracting upwards...

Only a few agile Griffon Cavalry still fly freely over the island, occasionally speeding through areas covered in tentacles.

"There's a Sea Beast Priest on the island, and this giant sea beast must be Deep Sea Magic Beast..."

The Magic Airship quickly took off, easily dodging the tentacles.

Seeing Sun Island turned upside down by the Magic Airship, Roy strode to the base of the main mast, shook the bell in his hand vigorously, and a series of clear and melodious bell sounds rang out. The Magic Airship then turned around and headed back.

Although he didn't find Miss Tiffany, Roy knew there was little point in staying on Sun Island.

The Magic Airship was completely unprepared and had no way of dealing with the behemoth beneath the island...

The Magic Airship withdrew from Sun Island, and the giant sea monster did not follow.

The airship flew all the way to the North Coast of Sun Island Bay before hovering in mid-air, where the coastline became incredibly tranquil.

At this moment, Roy was standing at the stern of the ship, gazing at the Sun Island Bay. The sea was vast and boundless, and he was somewhat worried. Such a sea beast hiding under the island would not be easy to hunt.

However, if they want to take over Sun Island and completely drive those fishmen out of Sun Island Bay, they can't get around that giant sea monster; they have to find a way to kill it...

As Roy pondered at the bow of the ship, he saw a blurry figure on a rock in the reef area, waving vigorously at the Magic Airship.

Her alluring figure and flowing, seaweed-like hair were clearly reminiscent of Miss Tiffany.

Seeing Miss Tiffany, Roy finally breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease...

Roy rode Kaka's griffin directly from the Magic Airship to the beach reef area.

Miss Tiffany looked rather unwell, with dark circles under her eyes and a tired appearance. When she saw Roy disembarking from the Magic Airship on a griffin, Miss Tiffany waved again with a smile.

Roy approached Miss Tiffany and complained, "I thought you'd been captured by the fishmen on Sun Island! I had to take the Magic Airship to Sun Island, and I almost got attacked by that sea monster beneath the island..."

"Uh, you saw that sea monster too?" Miss Tiffany, who had been smiling, asked with some surprise after hearing Roy's words.

"I didn't see its whole shape, but I saw a lot of tentacles with suction cups on the Magic Airship ..." Roy replied.

"It's quite a coincidence. I was also there to investigate what dangers Sun Island might pose. According to my investigation, there is a Sea Beast Priest on Sun Island, and this deep-sea octopus is his sea beast. For some reason, this Sea Beast Priest can only live on Sun Island."

Miss Tiffany sat on the sea rocks, tossing fish to Night Blade Leopard while telling Roy about the news she had gathered over the past few days.

"Roy, if you want to take over Sun Island, you'll have to figure out how to deal with this big guy first!"

Miss Tiffany said.

"Let me transport these Three-Masted Sailboat to Sun Island Bay first, and we can talk about the rest later..."

After Roy finished speaking, he looked at the ruins of the dock not far away.

After this battle, the Fishmen Monster on Sun Island became obedient again, and they no longer dared to raid the unfinished dock under the cover of night.

Led by Roy, the Half-Elf Warrior began building a dock on this beach.

A week later, a makeshift pier made of wooden planks was finally completed on the beach closest to the jungle camp.

The Magic Airship, which had been hovering in the air, slowly landed beside the dock.

Subsequently, under the guidance of four dwarf apprentices, all the Floating Device and Propulsion Device on the Magic Airship were removed, but the support frames on the ship's side were all left behind.

The Magic Airship was transformed back into a Three-Masted Sailboat. All twelve Floating Device and two Propulsion Device were packed into Wooden Box, and these supplies would be secretly transported back to Pattington Island by Leishande's caravan.

Next, the Three-Masted Sailboat from Pattington Island will be transported one by one to Sun Island Bay in the Pattington Plane in this way.
