To become a great king of Kakin celebrated by the world, Nasubi Hui Guo Rou had taken the lead in this expedition to the New World Continent.
He had been planning this for a long time.
Proof of that lay in the enormous black ocean liner anchored on the sea before them.
Named the B.W., the ship resembled a gigantic black whale.
The B.W. had five levels and a staggering capacity of two hundred thousand passengers. Its sheer size was enough to astound the world.
With enough money and manpower, a colossal ship like this could perhaps be built in a matter of months.
Developing its design, however, was certainly not something that could be accomplished in just a few months.
The Kakin Kingdom's deeply ambitious king had surely waited long enough.
Yesterday's "eve festival" had been a grand spectacle, broadcast live so the entire world could witness the Kakin Kingdom's royal family and Beyond, who was responsible for exploring the New World.
Today's departure ceremony was every bit as extravagant.
Under countless watchful eyes, the Kakin Kingdom's royal family boarded the top level of the B.W.
The two hundred thousand selected passengers also boarded the B.W. in an orderly procession.
Finally, amid the cheers of hundreds of thousands of spectators, the B.W. slowly sailed away from its mooring.
Next—
The ship would spend three weeks crossing the seas known to humanity, then replenish its fuel and other supplies at their boundary.
Once resupplied, it would truly begin its challenge of the Unknown Sea beyond the world map.
In those waters, the most terrifying thing was not the ocean, but the sky.
Violent storms, tornadoes, lightning...
Those harsh weather conditions, common in the Unknown Sea, were only the beginning.
The truly terrifying threats were the many varieties of flying creatures.
