Chapter 220: Chapter 155: Direct Confrontation

In the darkness of night, Jay swallowed nervously.

This was the first time the Ark Kingdom had come into direct conflict with foreign forces. Jay never feared the enemy’s swords, but behind him were the people he had sworn to protect with his life.

The warriors had no room to retreat.

"They’re coming!"

The next second, Centurion Glen exclaimed.

Indeed, the sea in the distance started to ripple, and four Alliance battleships emerged from the towering fog wall route, heading straight toward the coastline of Seagull City!

"Don’t rush, let them get a little closer."

Captain Ota at the forefront of the team spoke solemnly: "Almost half of the Ark warriors haven’t fully mastered the use of hand cannons. The closer they get, the greater our advantage."

This was the first time Jay had seen the Alliance warships.

In the dim light, the surface of the Alliance battleships displayed a radiant, gem-like quality.

Those four warships weren’t crafted from wood or steel; they looked more like armored beasts made of silver gemstones.

Every detail was flamboyant and dazzling, even the sails emitted a faint glow of ethereal silver feathers.

Beneath the exquisite exterior was a thick sense of menace.

Ed’s gaze was heavy, the Alliance controlled dozens of deep-sea routes, and the materials used to build warships or war chariots had always been the highest-level secret of the Alliance military.

Whether they were soldiers of Ark or uneasy civilians, everyone held their breath.

The navigators stared intently at the coastline.

These past few days, facing the heavy pressure from the Alliance, Ark Kingdom responded stably and orderly, reassuring many, and many had already led supplies into the Justice Route.

Despite this, the navigators still felt anxious.

Ark Kingdom had finally gone into full-scale war with the Alliance main island...

This was the Alliance! A superpower on par with the fiercest and most terrifying Northern Empire!

This was destined to be a sleepless night for many.

Horn instinctively sensed something amiss.

The lights along the shore were dim, and shadows loomed on the dock, seemingly gathering quite a crowd.

Could they have been waiting for his arrival all along?

Horn’s heart skipped a beat, but he shook his head, doubting that those unsophisticated bumpkins could be so perceptive.

"Open fire directly, target Seagull Port and Lord Linlan’s manor residence."

He suppressed the excitement and greed in his heart, issuing the command calmly.

Before the legion set out, many tycoons offered exorbitant prices for the Ark Leader’s head, claiming Lord Linlan was young and handsome. Preserving this sea king in their collection had always been a novelty for the upper echelon.

Though Commander Horn could profit from the Ark Leader’s corpse, he still deemed it more prudent to blast Linlan to pieces.

To prevent any unforeseen complications.

The cannons on the Alliance warships slowly lifted, from afar, the gem-like beasts seemed to raise their crystalline scales.

"Now!"

Captain Ota shouted the command: "Fire!!"

Nearly a hundred Golden Armored Warriors, led by a Giant, uniformly raised the hand cannons on their arm armor.

The Sun Warriors, heading for reinforcements to the Eastern Border and Northern Border, had been delaying the reveal of the second-generation armor’s long-range light cannon capabilities, and Ark Kingdom awaited this very moment!

The Alliance battleships and the Sun Legion fired almost simultaneously, and the night sky was instantly lit by the firepower of both sides.

The sea was as bright as day!

"Wait! What’s that?!"

Horn’s expression was bewildered; amidst hundreds of stunned Alliance soldiers, radiant sunfire rained down like heavy rain from the sky!

Boom boom boom!

Hundreds of sunlight bombs burst beside the four battleships, the surface of the magic-guided shield flickered with intense waves, and the sea was already aflame.

Ota’s power armor ’Thunder Protocol’ was completely deployed.

In a flash, the radar within the armor swiftly locked onto dozens of incoming magic-guided shells nearing the shore, Ota calmly adjusted the cannon’s angle, predicting the trajectory of the enemy’s fire.

The next second, the light cannon intercepted the shells ahead, making the sky above the coastline bloom like fireworks, with falling debris incinerated by the light flames.

Horn’s eyes nearly popped out.

"Well played! Well played!"

The blond Witch beside Lin Lan cheered, jumping with excitement.

Eleanor gripped the gun handle tightly, her crimson vertical pupils fixed on the distant Alliance battleships, the body surface of the Doragon people already surrounded by a swirling black wind.

Lin Lan cast his gaze on the second-generation Sun Warriors.

Due to material limitations, the power furnace Ansel crafted couldn’t fully convert Sun Ash Soil, extraneous golden heat streams leaked from the furnace, thus Ansel ingeniously improved this flaw.

The sunlight flame unable to be smoothly converted no longer burned wastefully on the armor surface but instead flowed along the armor’s patterns and converged behind the Golden Armored Warriors.

——Erecting sharp, jet-like light wings!

The light wings provided propulsion, not only perfectly offsetting the hand cannon’s recoil but also significantly enhancing the warriors’ mobility.

People’s attention was entirely drawn to the regiment of iron cans sporting golden light wings.

The Sun Warriors didn’t recklessly exhaust their light bullets, instead, they kept a fixed rhythm of alternating and continuously outputting their firepower.

Ark’s firepower was relentless, completely covering the Alliance’s battleships.
