Bombardment

Before Kronos could finish speaking, the leader said, "Of course, no problem. Just hitch a ride on our ship. I'll have them unload the supplies now, and we'll set off immediately."

It wasn't that this person wanted to flatter Kronos; he was just uneasy staying there and wanted to leave as soon as possible. Wasn't this a perfect excuse delivered to his doorstep?

Everyone on the ship wanted to leave the war zone as soon as possible, so they all unanimously voted in favor of unloading the cargo quickly.

In less than twenty minutes, the entire ship full of supplies was unloaded onto the Harbor by these people, and after a short rest, they were ready to leave.

Kronos was quite impressed by this speed, and indeed, when faced with a life-or-death situation, no one slacked off.

After completing a series of preparations for departure, the cargo ship steadily sailed out of the Harbor.

Kronos could clearly sense that the people around him breathed a sigh of relief after the ship left the Harbor.

In recent years, there have been very few instances of naval involvement in conflicts on the Southern Continent. Moreover, this is in East Balam, where the Sonia Fleet has absolute control, so it is generally safe once we leave the land.

However, no one on the ship knew that the Sonia Fleet currently had no organized fleet in the Rorsted Archipelago.

Moreover, Intis's navy, led by Vice Admiral Iron Blood, is also on its way here.

The reason they arrived so slowly was because no one anticipated that the Sonia Fleet would provide full support to West Balam.

The original plan was just a surprise attack by the Army; it was only after the navy was depleted that the Intis Navy set sail from the Republic of Intis's homeland.

The Republic of Intis is quite a distance from the Southern Continent, so they haven't arrived even after traveling for so many days.

But in reality, this navy was not far away.

Intis Redfire Fleet

"Your Excellency, we are less than fifteen nautical miles from the Coastline of the Paz Valley," a naval captain from the Republic of Intis said to the fleet commander.

Is there anything unusual in the surrounding area?

"Reporting to the General, no organized fleet has been detected. The intelligence appears to be correct; the Sonia Fleet is not in the Sonia Sea. We can launch a surprise attack."

The fleet commander pondered for a moment, then said, "We don't have a chance for a landing operation, so we need to find a valuable position, strike and leave quickly, otherwise we might be trapped here by the Sonia Fleet."

"So you need to plan your escape route now. I need the fastest way back to Berens Harbor, because the enraged Sonia Fleet might launch a surprise attack on our Harbor."

A Colonel Your Excellency nearby interjected, "General, are you really not considering a surprise attack on Gurain? The success rate shouldn't be too low."

"Dream on. How could such a crucial place not have Demigod? If we dare to launch a surprise attack, they'll all be left behind. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just launch a surprise attack on Bayam?" the commander said irritably.

The Redfire Fleet's target for this surprise attack was quite coincidental: the very small town that Kronos had just left.

This town is indeed small and poor, but it does have one unique feature: it has the closest Harbor to the front lines, making it very convenient for transporting military supplies.

This advantage is naturally not only for the Loen Kingdom. If the Republic of Intis can take it, they can also seize this advantage. Even if they cannot seize it, they cannot leave it to Loen.

Therefore, the primary objective of the Redfire Fleet is to occupy this Harbor, wait for the Army to take over, and then withdraw to Berens Harbor in the Republic of Intis colony to avoid a direct confrontation with the Sonia Fleet.

If the Sonia Fleet arrives too quickly, then just blow up this Harbor.

However, because the Loen Navy has a very high level of control over the Sonia Sea, the Redfire Fleet is not familiar with the sea routes here, which is why they directly had Vice Admiral Iron Blood lead the way.

Therefore, the entire Redfire Fleet, under the leadership of Vice Admiral Iron Blood, is slowly approaching Kronos, which has just departed from port.

Iron Blood

"Captain, we've been exposed like this. We can't be Pirate anymore," the first mate of the Iron Blood said with a worried expression.

In fact, no one on the Iron Blood, including "Vice Admiral Iron Blood" Achilles Teren, wanted to be exposed like this.

Because if they did that, they wouldn't be able to operate at sea anymore, otherwise they would be slapping the faces of the navies of various countries, and basically the navy would chase them wherever they went.

However, Achilles was raised by the Republic of Intis, and he had no right to defy the decisions made by his country.

Therefore, they had no choice but to honestly reveal their identities and lead the Redfire Fleet.

"Since it's already like this, let's not worry about it anymore. What's been exposed has already been exposed. You can all come back to China with me then," Achilles said helplessly.

"What about the duel with ' Vice Admiral Iceberg '?"

Achilles remained silent for a long time. "I want to fight, but it's very dangerous."

"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Upon hearing their leader's words, all the Pirate on the Iron Blood burst into laughter.

"Go if you want to, boss! I want to go too!"

"What's so dangerous about it? How can being Pirate not be dangerous?"

A cacophony of voices filled the ship.

"Vice Admiral Iron Blood" Achilles Treon had a terrible reputation at sea, being Pirate committed all sorts of atrocities, including plundering Carnage. However, he was very loyal to the people on his ship.

So even at this point, even if they were to face the navies of various countries, these Pirate were still willing to stand with their leader.

"Boss, we've spotted a resource transport ship Five Seas ahead. There aren't any large weapons on board, and it looks like there's only a small squad stationed there." At that moment, someone ran in and reported to Achilles.

Achilles waved his hand dismissively, "This has nothing to do with us. Just pass the Information to the Redfire, and they can decide how to handle it."

At this moment, Kronos could already see the Iron Blood's banner from the ship, and the fleet following behind the Iron Blood also came into view.

Even the most foolish person wouldn't mistake a well-organized Warship for a Pirate group.

So everyone on the ship realized that this was Intis's navy attacking.

The unease in Kronos's heart made his heart pound, so he activated the Eye of Time without hesitation.

The Eye of Time can't really see the Iron Blood, but it can see the ship beneath its feet.

The past is meaningless; we must look to the future.

Green Light flashed in Kronos's eyes, and a scene of "firing cannons" appeared before his eyes.

The fleet behind the Iron Blood launched a barrage of artillery fire, instantly obliterating the resource transport ship and killing many people on the spot. Kronos was seen thrashing about in the sea.

Having averted his gaze, Kronos felt slightly relieved, then took out the Lucky One Cane, preparing to stack a buff on himself.

The principle of using the Lucky One Cane is, of course, to first assess the probability of getting lucky.

But just as he took the Walking Stick into his hand, the Redfire opened fire. The deafening roar startled Kronos, and he dropped the Walking Stick.

The Lucky One Cane doesn't automatically trigger a luck check upon falling, but since Kronos intended to use the Eye of Time the outcome, the Walking Stick's Spirituality was naturally activated, causing him to initiate the luck check himself.

Such a dramatic turn of events naturally yielded a result that could not disappoint the readers: a judgment of failure appeared on the Walking Stick, and for the rest of the time, Kronos was in a period of bad luck.

Under normal circumstances, a little bad luck isn't a big deal; it's just something like slipping while walking, choking on water, or getting bird droppings on your head.

But this is a special time.

The Redfire's Cannonball had just landed ten meters in front of Kronos, and they were about to face a barrage of fire from the entire Redfire Fleet.

In the original Timeline, the transport ship was completely destroyed, but Kronos was unharmed, only falling into the water.

But now that such a negative buff has been applied, if a Cannonball misses even slightly, it could hit Kronos directly.

As an Beyonder Mystery Pryer Pathway, a single shot from an ordinary Revolver would have been fatal; if Cannonball had hit him, Kronos would have been utterly destroyed.

Upon seeing this result, Kronos was completely dumbfounded. "Holy crap, what the hell is going on? Are you kidding me? Don't you want to live anymore? Have I been discovered by some divine will, and are you trying to eliminate me?"

Despite his constant muttering complaints, Kronos's hands didn't stop moving. He shoved his Walking Stick back into the Mystic Pouch and pulled out two Scroll.

These two life-saving Scroll are perfect for this life-saving moment.

As Kronos held the two Scroll in his hands, a volley of fire from the Redfire Fleet Descent.

As expected of Beset by Misfortune, Kronos watched helplessly as a Cannonball hurtled towards him.

At this moment, there was no room for hesitation. Kronos immediately tore open the two Scroll in his hand, mainly because he was afraid that one scroll would not be enough to provide sufficient defense.

Warrior Pathway Sequence 5 - Guardian Skill: Armor of Guardianship. A full suit of armor, shimmering with the Color of Dawn, appeared on Kronos's body.

The Sequence 5 Mystery Pryer Pathway – the Astronomer's skill, Starlight Guardianship. In fact, the Astronomer doesn't have any specific skills, but rather utilizes the power of starlight. Beams of starlight surround Kronos, forming a protective barrier.

The two skills were quite reliable; they dealt with the falling Cannonball without sustaining any damage. However, Kronos's physical condition was clearly inadequate. After being hit by three Cannonball, Kronos was knocked unconscious and fell into the sea.
