“Right, our next course of action is to get in touch with Erudia’s Supreme class fighters as well as those from Raysonia, Keerea, and other neighboring countries! I’m going to destroy Erudia once and for all, and nowhere in that country will be safe!” Bruce declared with a maniacal smile.
When Erudia’s Supreme class fighters attack, we’ll surround them. It’ll be so terrifying they won’t know what hit them.
“We have to make haste and act quickly! We mustn’t give Erudia the chance to defend themselves!” Bruce called out.
His plan was to expedite efforts to gather forces for the allied army to attack Erudia and rescue Byron as soon as possible.
“I’m going to meet someone important today. Prepare the cruise ship!” Bruce ordered.
Half a day later, Bruce stopped the cruise ship in the middle of the glimmering sea.
That particular stretch of sea was infamously known as Devil’s Lair.
The weather was unpredictable; thunderstorms were frequent occurrences, and boats often went missing in the area. Therefore, sailors deemed it as a forbidden area and dared not sail too close.
Well aware of its dangers, the captain and crew trembled in fear. “We should leave! It’s too dangerous!” they called out.
Nonetheless, Bruce appeared calm and said with a smile, “Don’t you think I know that this is Devil’s Lair? But did you know that hidden in these waters is Poseidon’s Palace?”
Everyone gasped in shock. There are people living in Devil’s Lair?
Bruce continued, “You must be wondering how these people could’ve lived here for years, but let me put it this way. They’re invincible in the sea! What’s terrifying is that they probably have more than one Rank Six Supreme class warrior and seven or eight Rank Five Supreme class warriors! So, we can only imagine how many more skilled fighters they have! After all, the harsher the environment, the stronger the warrior!”
Everyone was amazed to hear that.
Bruce smiled and said, “That’s why I said that they’re invincible in the sea!”
“Master, so you’re here to invite them to join the allied army?”
“Yes, that’s right!” Bruce nodded.
Suddenly, there was a loud crack of thunder, and a flash of lightning split the air. A thunderstorm was brewing.
The stormy water tossed the cruise ship from side to side, causing everyone to panic.
However, Bruce yelled gleefully, “They’re here!”
As soon as he said that, there was another loud rumbling sound, and the earth began to shake.
Then, they saw an ancient palace rising slowly from the depths of the water.
“Oh my god! My heavens!” Everyone was stunned.
They had never imagined that something like that would emerge from the sea.
In the end, Bruce met with Poseidon, and they struck an agreement after hours of discussion. At the same time, many others from all over Zarain agreed to join the allied army.
Previously, they had only approached individuals or small groups of Supreme class warriors. But now, they were reaching out to even more powerful forces such as Poseidon’s Palace.
With so many Rank Six Supreme class warriors joining them, it felt like the gods were on their side. That was the effect of the Supreme class warriors’ presence, and their numbers were only increasing. What would happen with so many warriors gathered together—one could only imagine.
As the anticipation of the impending battle intensified, the calm before the storm became increasingly suffocating.
