Siblings Finally Reunited, the King of the Deep Sea World!
"Lord..."
"I told you not to call me Lord, call me Commander!"
In a small but luxuriously decorated study.
A tall, muscular fishman, clad in armor and about 1.6 meters tall, knelt down on one knee.
His eyes were filled with determination, and his face bore the scars of war, large and small.
Judging from his demeanor, he should be a brave and skilled warrior, but after hearing the sound coming from the desk, he visibly trembled!
"Yes, Commander! As you wish!"
"What is it? Speak!"
Hearing that the man at the desk hadn't gotten angry, the merman warrior's trembling finally stopped, but he still didn't dare to raise his head and continued to speak quickly with his head down.
"Commander, our Ninth Squadron has successfully captured the Great Capital Imperial City, and the Fourth Squadron has captured the Sky Ocean Capital City. The Thirteenth Squadron has also completed the capture of Kiyamaga Island."
"Now all the scattered Guard Team have retreated to the rear of the Zadu Strait, concentrating in Nartle Bay and the Zfigas Fishing Port."
"The Church's enemies also abandoned their positions and, after unifying, retreated to the Daya Archipelago."
"Should we continue the advance, force their lines back, capture their supply Distribution Point, and annihilate them in one fell swoop?"
The Zadu Strait is located in the lower right corner of the Deep Sea World map. After passing through this strait and several bays and the Daya Archipelago, you will connect with the land.
The fact that these people, who have lived in the deep sea for generations, have been forced to this place means that the war is basically coming to an end.
The merman warrior was afraid because he knew that the war, from its true beginning to its imminent end, had only taken sixty-three days in real time!
The reason why it was able to proceed so quickly was not entirely due to the fearless bravery of the fleet on the expedition, nor the cooperation of the people below, nor the various legendary figures who joined along the way.
The main reason is still... leadership!
"No rush. Where is the person I asked you to pick up? How far is he from the capital?"
Upon hearing the words of the commander above, the merman warrior was slightly surprised, but he quickly recovered and respectfully replied.
"Commander, the person you are looking for boarded the returning ship three days ago. If all goes well, he should arrive in the capital by this afternoon at the latest!"
"Great! You've accomplished this task, you deserve a huge credit!"
Hearing the thumping footsteps approaching, and feeling a pair of warm, large hands placed on his shoulders, the merman warrior did not immediately raise his head, but continued to respond respectfully.
But then, his head was forcibly turned up by the owner of the large hand, and a face with a happy expression appeared in his field of vision.
This person was none other than Su Mo! "Alright, Yu Yi, before our Academy of Sciences of Sciences' technology has made any significant advancements, we shouldn't hastily launch the final decisive battle."
"They still have one last food production port. Don't rush into a full-scale attack. Find a way to blow it up with explosives and put them in a food shortage situation."
"When the time comes, I will personally lead the expedition!"
Upon hearing the words "personally leading the expedition," Yu trembled slightly, a hint of joy appearing on his face.
"Now issue my order: I will receive the distinguished guests who are about to arrive here. Bring up all the delicacies and fine wines that I have recently collected!"
"Furthermore, starting now, our capital city will host a three-day grand banquet, with all expenses reduced by 20%! I want everyone to celebrate with me!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Seeing that Su Mo was in a good mood, Yu Yi finally let go of his facial expressions and grinned.
Then, at Su Mo's signal, Yu Yi respectfully took his leave and departed from the very impressive study.
"It's been two months, it's been so long, I can finally see my sister!"
Watching Yu Yi's figure disappear around the corner of the courtyard, Su Mo closed the door, stretched, and comfortably returned to the chair in front of the table.
In the upper right corner of Su Mo's vision, the score of General Xing Daorong, who was positioned behind him on the leaderboard, had already reached nearly ten million.
Xing Daorong's identity has also undergone a dramatic transformation: King of the Deep Sea World; Incarnation of the Ocean God; Legendary Captain; Legendary Lord; Creator of Epic Battles; Leader of the Righteous Army; Wealthy beyond measure; Wanted Order: Seven of the ten stars' identities. If any one of these were given to those who are ranked at the bottom of the leaderboard with a maximum score of only a few hundred thousand, they could transform them into the new elites of the Deep Sea World.
"Lord Token: Check the number of times I have currently used my Ocean God Authority."
[Your Lord Su Mo, the Ocean Overlord, your current available access privileges are: 4 (Medium), 2 (Small)]
"Huh? Winning a battle no longer rewards you with high-level privileges?"
"What a pity, I should have slowed down the pace."
He waved his hand, signaling for all interfaces to disappear.
Looking at the schedule on the desk, Su Mo seemed to be complaining, but in reality, he had a big smile on his face.
Much faster than expected, the vast Deep Sea World was already within our grasp in just sixty-three days.
Despite exploiting numerous bugs and using the extremely unfair Ocean God Authority, the sense of accomplishment from these continuous victories was still exhilarating!
From the moment he became Free Lord and began the first war with 2,000 men, after each battle, the Lord Token would reward him with a certain level of Ocean God Authority.
It was precisely because of these permissions that Su Mo was able to develop a vast empire from scratch in just sixty days, and incidentally, directly transport the fleets he had built to various parts of the Deep Sea World.
This permission is used by default in the game.
Therefore, Su Mo used it without restraint, and these enemies suffered greatly.
Gathering his thoughts, tidying up his desk, putting all the files in the cabinet and locking it, Su Mo strode up, opened the door, and walked out.
In terms of area, the number of courtyards is not large.
However, in terms of luxury, the pearls that can be seen everywhere, as well as the various colors of the very magical corals, all indicate that the owner here is of extraordinary status.
Stepping out of the study and walking forward through a small garden, a bright and open space suddenly appeared before me as I rounded a corner.
Here, there is an open-air hot spring, steaming with white vapor.
At the end of the hot spring, there was a vast, boundless sea!
"Shrimp Soldier, go get me a new set of clothes. I'm meeting an important person today!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Seeing the shrimp soldiers guarding the entrance to the hot spring leave, Su Mo quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the hot spring in a cheerful mood.
After a while, as the hot spring washed away his fatigue, and after changing into the new clothes brought by the shrimp soldiers, Su Mo quickly went to the kitchen to prepare food with the cook.
After two months of struggling in the wasteland, they spent another two months fighting their way through the Deep Sea World.
It's been a little over four months since I separated from my sister.
This amount of time, if it were on Earth, would be fine; it's just a semester since we last met.
But in such a dangerous environment, Su Mo was distracted while cooking, his mind filled with Su Chan's lively figure.
"Commander, why don't you go and rest? We can handle things here!"
Seeing that Su Mo was lost in thought, discarding the delicious body of the little treasure fish and instead putting its tasteless head into the pot, the cook noticed Su Mo's unusual behavior and kindly stepped forward to ask him with concern.
"No, it's nothing, I just did it..."
Waking up to the cook, Su Mo smiled sheepishly and was about to explain when he caught sight of the gatekeeper crab general out of the corner of his eye.
And at this moment, there's only one reason why the Crab General would come! At this point, Su Mo didn't bother explaining anymore. He threw down the casserole he was holding, and before the Crab General could even step forward, he grabbed its large pincers and hurriedly asked:
"They've arrived?"
"The leader has arrived!"
Just like carbonated drinks meeting Mentos, the moment they touch, they release a delightful sweetness! Excellent!
It's an affirmative sentence!
Leaving behind the crab general who was still strutting sideways, Su Mo strode forward, no longer caring about maintaining his authority as commander, and headed straight for the gate.
To get from the kitchen to the front door, you need to pass through three gardens.
This was Su Mo's proud design, but at this moment, it made Su Mo wish he could tear the garden down on the spot.
Fortunately, after striding through the penultimate garden and turning a corner, Su Mo finally saw the figure he had been longing for in front of a blooming Ocean Soul Flower.
"Su Chan!"
"Hey! Bro! Over here!"
Hearing Su Mo's almost roaring shout, Su Chan was startled, but after a moment of realization, she smiled with delight, just like the Ocean Soul Flower!
She stood up gently, causing the flower buds beside her to sway softly, as if cheering for this moment.
The next second, she was airborne! Su Mo caught her and lifted her into the air!
"Why are you taking so long? You saw me on the leaderboard, but you didn't even come sooner!"
"If you keep dawdling, I'm going to destroy this entire Deep Sea World!"
It seemed that they sensed the tension in Su Mo's words.
Held in mid-air by Su Mo, Su Chan gently shook her head without saying a word, but instead tightened her grip on her even further.
Su Mo could clearly feel this power.
This is a connection from blood ties, a connection that cannot be severed by two civilizations or countless spaces.
It's like a brother rushing back home after a major earthquake, only to find his sister living a perfectly good life at home.
This feeling of excitement cannot be described in words.
At this moment, silence is the best description!
They hugged for four or five minutes before Su Chan finally spoke to end the embrace.
Furthermore, her very first words instantly changed Su Mo's expression.
"Brother, something might have happened in the wasteland, and it's not a small matter!"
"Oh? What happened!"
"I have the ability to communicate with animals and even establish a certain degree of spiritual connection with them."
"Back on the Tundra, I not only made contracts with many animals I brought aboard, but also with quite a few Treasure Fish."
"But starting yesterday, all the Treasure Fish contracts broke at almost the same time, and even the animals on the ship started to break their contracts!"
