Chapter 334: CCCXXXIV. Reclaim the Rivers and Mountains

Within the grandiose manor of Doringger.

The outcome was decided.

On the open terrace of the main city building, Doringger watched the Sea God enveloping Heaven Port with an armada of ships, undisturbed.

As long as the Sea God returned, everything was discussable—even if those aboard were not his people.

Even across the East Sea,

Only Doringger himself, could command... "God"!

"Should someone be sent to negotiate?"

Even the former General Horace of Beima was somewhat panicked, yet Doringger remained as calm as Still Water.

"Negotiate? Even if we lose the naval battle, if the castle is breached, and years of foundation are destroyed, I alone can suppress these rebels. Commence the battle to regain Sea God immediately. After this battle, it seems I will need to personally lead the campaign to, once again... sweep through the East Sea."

Doringger’s expression was icy as he continued to issue orders.

On the castle’s end, all that was needed was for people to guard the Main Tower, ensuring the secrecy within was protected.

The range of Sea God was vast; it could definitely hit the castle.

But the castle here, once forged by the Emperor as a bridgehead for the Eastern Expedition, was fortified by a Magic Power Protection Array driven by Red Crystals, impregnable.

Though the Sea God’s destructive power was strong, after a prolonged assault, the Magic Power Protection Array would dissolve.

But before that happened,

Suppression would have been completed.

The first line of defense.

Within the castle.

Entrusted to Doringger’s elite guards selected over the years from the East Sea, responsible for the Magic Power Protection Array, they also protected the city, not even a fly could be allowed in.

The protection array did not offer complete defense—that would be a waste of Demon Crystals. The arcane shield only defended when the array detected strong energy fluctuations; if it were a physical siege, the gates could still be breached.

Mo’er was also overseeing the overall situation within the castle.

The second line of defense.

It was time for the culmination of many years of Mo’er’s research to be put to use.

Release the Chimera Sewn Beasts through the gates to the outside, to exterminate all external enemies.

Horace, the Captain of the Dead Lord, and many key members on his ship, along with seven teams incorporated from pirate gangs that once competed for the summit of the East Sea, captains, and their numerous important subordinates,

Would confront the enemy outside the castle, purging all external threats. Regardless of whether they harbored ill-intent, all islanders had been sent to seek refuge, kill on sight.

Including the many Guests nurtured under his command.

The third line of defense.

A fence-off leader on the island with his subordinates would fight for the recapture of Sea God, clearing the path.

Doringger would also join the battle.

Not that the East Sea Three Heroes had any real worth, merely basking in the light of Doringger’s glory.

Those who came to seek refuge in Heavenly Port under his command, deemed gods, numbered six.

The Golden-eyed Demon Hunter, the captain and deputy captain of the Sea God, all missing, likely dead.

But it didn’t matter.

Doringger himself would lead the remaining three.

A Druid, also known as a Shapeshifter,

A Great Sword Master from the Far East Islands,

And a Sergeant from the Old Aran Witch Hunting Secret Place, taking refuge with him.

They would recapture the Sea God.

"There will be no negotiations; surrender is the only option until they are... completely incapacitated."

Doringger understood the Art of War; encircling the teachers is essential, and one must not press a desperate foe too hard. Beat them until they submit. A defeated general is nothing but a dog—this way, profits can be maximized.

Now was the time to integrate strategic forces at top speed, before the first cannon fired, radiating from the center, completing all personnel dispatching.

As for Liszt’s side, the slower, the better.

At this very moment.

Heavenly Port Pier.

Heroes gathered to join in the grand event, various champions all scheming to dominate.

Even without taking a step.

But Doringger’s naval fleet had already suffered a collapse in morale.

Of course, he had ships out on patrol, but the Sea God was a top-secret matter. After discovering Liszt returning with that kind of monster, who would dare to retreat? They all fled, not even daring to return to the island to face Doringger’s questioning, completely paralyzed, just like when Liszt first encountered the Sea God.

The slaughter on the periphery of the East Sea was still brutally ongoing.

And at Heavenly Port, "Pirate Republic," the promised land for desperados.

Here in the sea battle, Doringger had lost before the fight began.

At the pier.

Liszt was filled with high spirits.

What shocked Caroso and the others was that Black Sail with Liszt and without him were completely different scenarios.

An organization that had been on the brink of falling apart and on the verge of splitting, returned to the realm of a land immortal.

Liszt, as the nexus of all interest chains, was not just an individual, but a form of distribution, a kind of rule.

As long as he was present, the system with him at the helm firmly controlled everyone.

Previously, the complete signs of defeat were evident, like a disorderly horde of many pirates; but now, they were united, like an army of a king.

The five High Order Clergy from the Holy Spirit Church could finally ease their minds, such power was sufficient for cooperation, resisting Aran’s expansion, as well as the Aran National Church’s expansion.

"My uncle often talks about that day in prison, even a man like him has never experienced such a display; we owe you a favor. Let’s settle the favor first, then talk business."

The representative from the Seventh Amendment was the second-in-command of the current organization, the nephew of their leader, named Ban, with a tattoo of the numeral seven in the common language on his neck and a red armband on his big arm, the insignia of their organization.

These guys looked like madmen among madmen; the base smelled strongly of madness.

Ban also carried a... six-barreled machine gun, he said his uncle got it for him from the Atomic Heart Church, with two crossed bullet belts slung across his chest, and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Those behind him were actually somewhat uncomfortable with the bumpy journey, suffering a little from motion sickness.

The representatives from Cangshan Tobacco Company were more powerful. The person who came was someone whose name couldn’t be called, likely a senior in the company, who seeing the situation here, also made a friendly investment.

There were other powers that came upon hearing the news, but after a round of discussions, it turned out that KB organization’s people were the most righteous. The rest were thinking like venture capitalists, angel investors looking to secure the best resources first.

On the journey back to Heavenly Port, with the Sea God opening the way, Liszt had already become somewhat familiar with these people.

The pier was packed with a huge crowd of people.

Liszt was not in a hurry now. He had Doringger completely surrounded. The current situation was like encircling to kill. With just one command from him, the Sea God Ship Cannons would fire straight through the outer and inner cities, piercing Doringger’s castle.

Such a big target, there was no need for precision guidance. Just open fire and bombard openly.

Lu Chen was also among the group of people with the scar-faced woman. The scar-faced woman was talking with Hened at the time; seeing Liszt now looking like the boss of all bosses, there was already a barrier between them, and he did not dare to approach for a conversation.

Also...

How was Mo Yutong here? Lu Chen obviously recognized this goddess from his school days.

"Fuck."

Wolman held his head in his hands, incredulous at the scene in front of him. Liszt had become the Big Boss, just today. He had brought an old Sub-dragon people witch over too, believing that restoration was hopeful, and she had come out of seclusion. Now, finally, there was an explanation.

Claude understood that a great battle was imminent and arranged for a ship and his trusted followers to take their families to Iron Soul Island for refuge.

Fen’s mind was entirely at ease as well; the goods purchased from Reggae Defense had already arrived, and all Black Sail members had been equipped. Now all preparations were in place. Just taking down Heavenly Port, killing Doringger, then backing up Qi Liwenkui and others to suppress the Remnant Party, he would become the Boss after integrating the funds.

What he didn’t know was that Liszt had already solved the integration of funds. Garscek, one of the wealthiest among the wealthy women, was still taking a short rest at Black Sail Inn.

And the Thousand-Armed Shura was left dumbfounded by Celeste’s arrangements, it seemed she might have been handled by Liszt.

Taylor and another fencing head arrived at the pier as well.

Originally, upon hearing the report from the returning fleet, Taylor had despaired and planned to leave the East Sea, but now, for his son-in-law, he was extremely satisfied.

He also arranged for personnel to be ready for battle at any time.

"Heaven’s gifts not taken, suffer the consequences. The time is ripe but not acted upon, suffer the misfortune.

Gentlemen...

Today upon success, together we’ll traverse the Four Seas, dominating the world!"

Liszt’s voice carried with a ringing conviction.
