As they were speaking, the earth-shattering explosions of battle in the distance had already ended.
It is clear that the Kingdom of Byzantium magical outposts and guard forces have been completely wiped out.
With flashes of magical light, through the magical observation array, everyone finally saw that, at some unknown time, a mysterious fleet had appeared on the sea more than ten kilometers away. The densely packed warships looked like countless ants, and the banners fluttering in the wind were red and blue, rustling and struggling like ferocious dragons in the wind.
"So fast!"
On the Byzantium warship, Constantine and the others all changed their expressions drastically.
The enemy's numbers and speed of advance exceeded expectations.
Such power is simply terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.
That dark mass stretched all the way to the horizon where the sea met the sky. Such a quantity and speed were far beyond the naval power that a sixth-level empire like Lyon could possess. Even in the entire Northern Region, it was unlikely that such a powerful navy could be found.
"Could this army actually originate from another great domain?"
It is important to know that more than 100 kilometers off the coast, the Kingdom of Byzantium had set up a large number of overt and covert outposts, as well as a considerable number of Star-Rank Warrior, carrying magical warning scrolls produced in Chambord City, carefully keeping watch so that they could issue an alert immediately at the first sign of any unusual activity.
Generally speaking, even if there is an enemy invasion, you can know about it at least half a day in advance.
This time, however, the mysterious army only revealed its presence when it was almost infiltrating the coastline, allowing the outposts to issue a warning in time. It's likely that the Star-Rank Warrior and magic outposts a hundred miles away were wiped out before they could even react.
"Send the order: activate the coastal magic array, create a protective shield for the warships, and prepare for battle."
Despite his shock, the experienced King of Byzantium Constantine remained calm and methodically directed the battle.
"Ah... this... Your Constantine, we must take our leave."
"Yes, yes, I suddenly remembered there's something very important we haven't done yet, we need to hurry back."
"I will return to my country to inform my King, and he will lead a large army to provide assistance."
Seeing the grim situation, the envoys from other vassal states who had come to congratulate the Kingdom of Byzantium on its festival were now terrified. They made excuses and slipped away as quickly as possible.
Constantine did not detain them, and ordered his soldiers to lower the small boats and take the men back to shore.
Keeping someone like that around is just a burden.
"Pah! A bunch of cowardly cowards!" Little Luffy cursed disdainfully.
This second disciple of Sun Fei was only twelve years old. Perhaps due to his cultivation of ancient Demon Clan techniques, he looked as robust as an adult, standing at 1.75 meters tall. He had delicate features and wore a white robe, bearing a resemblance to King of Chambord Alexander.
The little guy stood majestically on the deck, looking at the dark mass of enemy warships in the distance. Far from being afraid, his brows furrowed with a hint of eager anticipation.
" Byzantium Majesty, I will return immediately and send out a distress signal, ordering the Chambord navy and air force to come and meet us. I want to see if those people are tired of living, daring to provoke war against Zenit."
Little Luffy has a very arrogant tone.
These past few days, aside from practicing his skills, he has spent most of his time with those two scoundrels, Jack and Barbossa, and has picked up their scoundrel habits. When he speaks, he exudes an arrogant and shameless air, much like Sun Fei back in the day.
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.
Constantine smiled slightly and said, "Don't rush. His Alexander left a contingency plan five kilometers from the coast. He used his formidable strength to leave Fist Intent Spiritual Imprint in the void, precisely to prevent enemy invasion. Now it comes in handy. Once the enemy enters the five-kilometer radius, I'll let you watch a show."
"Ah, so Master had foreseen this all along."
Little Luffy idolizes his master, Sun Fei, to the extreme.
As they spoke, the mysterious navy in the distance had already intruded to within six kilometers of the coastline, its ships still moving like arrows released from a bow, menacingly pressing towards the port.
"Send a warning signal, order them to stop immediately and report where they came from, or else don't blame us Byzantium for being rude."
King of Byzantium Constantine decided to try diplomacy first, then force, to gauge the tactics of this mysterious enemy.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh
A barrage of magical arrows shot into the sky, sounding an alarm.
However, the mysterious navy on the other side completely ignored them, instead unleashing a barrage of magical cannon fire that sank several Kingdom of Byzantium outposts in the sea, displaying extreme arrogance.
It seems this battle is unavoidable.
Constantine, as the king of the nation, stood atop the bridge of the royal warship, and his orders were conveyed in an orderly manner.
He was originally a King who rode on horseback. He suffered many hardships in his youth, but his fate was changed by chance encounter with Sun Fei. He rose to prominence with astonishing speed and fought alongside Sun Fei. His experience in naval warfare was undeniably rich. Now, he has reached the tenth level and achieved the Mid-Stage Half Moon Class. He exudes a terrifying aura and is considered an outstanding figure among the hundreds of King of the Zenit Empire's vassal states.
In the blink of an eye, the mysterious fleet opposite had already invaded an area less than two kilometers from the coast.
Boom boom boom boom
Amidst the roar of the magic cannons, countless beams of magical light, trailing long, dazzling tails, bombarded the Byzantium navy and port.
This co-pilot clearly intended to carry out a massacre, destroying everything from soldiers and civilians to warships and castles, razing them to the ground, and not even bothering to try to persuade them to surrender.
This gives a glimpse into the ruthlessness of the enemy.
The generals around the arrogant Constantine were all angered by their opponent's haughty and conceited attitude.
"A bunch of trash, you'll have your day." Little Luffy gritted his teeth. "Even more arrogant than my master!"
Boom boom boom boom
The magic cannon beams rained down wildly, and clusters of blue magical shields appeared on the Byzantium warships, blocking the terrible bombardment. These warships had been modified by the master craftsmen of Chambord City and equipped with advanced Sub-Divine Runes shields, making them extremely strong defensively. Ordinary magic cannon attacks simply could not penetrate their defenses.
The light projectiles that were blasting towards the shore were blocked by a magical flame that shot into the sky. There was also an extremely high-end protective magic array on the coastline, which Sun Fei had personally set up. It was powerful enough to block all attacks below the Moon Class Great Perfection. Naturally, this level of magic cannon attack could not pose any threat.
First update.
