The waves surged.
Huge waves dozens of meters high rose from the sea.
The Awakened aboard both sides' warships glared at one another.
The Energy-Concentrating Cannons lit up with blue light.
The Fourth War Zone's warships shot straight toward the opposing formation like arrows loosed from a bow.
Battle was about to erupt!
This was a contest of nerve and psychology.
The three Johnsons and White Garment were all gambling on who would back down first.
After all, once war began, it would no longer be under control.
"White Garment, do you really want to plunge people into misery? What would be the point?"
As the Fourth War Zone's warships sailed past the little boat, Old Sun had already stripped off his shirt and taken up his weapon in a fighting stance.
The three knew White Garment was not bluffing this time.
The Fourth War Zone really intended to test itself against the Federation.
"The point? You stirred up trouble on Fei Island. You owe us an explanation."
White Garment narrowed his eyes and looked toward the Federation warships, the light behind him.
He gave a contemptuous smile. "Did you really think your underhanded tricks could go unnoticed?"
"Today, I intend to press the issue. Unless you give me an explanation, ten of your Federation's people will die for every person from the Dragon Kingdom who died on Fei Island."
His gaze blazing, White Garment extended a finger.
He tapped it lightly.
Every Federation Energy-Concentrating Cannon that had been gathering energy went dark.
This sudden change left the three at a loss.
If the Fourth War Zone's fleet opened fire now, the Federation Navy would be wiped out outright.
"I'll give you until the count of three to think."
The enormous waves tossed the little boat up and down.
