Chapter 741: 364: Super Battleship! The head of the Hai Family!_2

Without a doubt, this represented the future of naval warfare.

But these three warships were simply too new, whether it was the ship itself or the soon-to-be-aboard gunners and sailors, they were all far too inexperienced.

This was a fleet still in its infancy, its true combat capabilities completely unknown.

Suo Lun circled the three cannon warships aboard his griffin, then shouted loudly, "Starting now, finish the warships with the utmost speed, and make sure they set out for a test voyage within five days. After that, seize all the time you have to conduct real combat exercises. Because in one month, these three warships will encounter a real sea battle."

"Yes!" came the unified shout from the sailors, crew, and shipbuilders below!

Suo Lun flew out of the cave on his griffin beast, turning to Yan Chuo’er and Zhi Yan, "Take two paths. First, abandon all illusions and prepare to fight alone. Second, head to Yingzhou Island and do everything possible to form an alliance with the Hai Family!"

Then Suo Lun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Additionally, contact the Underworld Society to assassinate Yan Mo!"

Upon hearing these words, Yan Chuo’er’s delicate body trembled slightly, but she did not speak.

It took tremendous courage for Suo Lun to make this decision. He himself did not care much about Yan Mo’s half-brother status, but after all, Yan Mo was the biological son of Yan Chuo’er.

Fortunately, when Yan Chuo’er fell into the abyss beneath the Yan King’s Palace, a surge of powerful mental energy caused her to lose many of her memories.

...

After leaving the secret shipyard, Suo Lun boarded a fast ship headed for Yingzhou Island in the northeast direction, to negotiate an alliance with the Hai Family!

The enemy of an enemy is a friend!

The Hai Clan of Yingzhou Island had once been enemies with Suo Lun, attacking Tianshui City twice.

But what of it? There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests!

In the entire East Sea, there could only be one overlord. Between the Hai Family and Yan Mo, it was either conquer or be conquered!

For the Hai Family to extend their reach onto the continent, they first married into the Ashi Clan, accompanying the marriage with thirty thousand naval troops.

In the end, these thirty thousand were completely burned in the first War of Annihilation against Suo.

The second time, Lord Haigang gave face to Zhi Li and dispatched ten thousand naval troops to participate in the second War of Annihilation against Suo.

However, it still ended with the complete destruction of their forces.

But now, after two rounds of Annihilation Wars, the Hai Family was left with only sixty thousand naval troops. Even so, once they formed an alliance with Suo Lun, they would have close to one hundred thousand naval troops, not inferior to Yan Mo.

As long as the two could form an alliance, then this battle would not be lost, especially with Suo Lun having the aerial assault of griffin beasts and cannons, his chances of winning were quite large.

"Suo Lun, I will go with you to Yingzhou Island," Yan Chuo’er said.

Suo Lun shook his head, "Aunt, with the current situation at sea being critical, the Suo navy cannot do without you. Moreover, if you come with me, I’m afraid the head of the Hai Family, Lord Haigang, might harbor inappropriate thoughts!"

Moreover, after losing her memory once, Yan Chuo’er had no understanding of Haigang anymore; her presence would not be of much use in the negotiations.

In the end, Suo Lun set forth for Yingzhou Island with Zhi Yan and Zhuang Zhixuan’s company and protection.

...

The journey from Tianshui City to the waters of Yingzhou Island spanned a good five to six thousand miles and would take four days and nights of sailing.

Travel across the sea was so dull, apart from procreation what else could one do?

As a result, Suo Lun’s waist was about to break again.

"I’m finally full, overfed even," Zhi Yan panted, "Suo Lun, do you think Haigang will accept our alliance proposal?"

Suo Lun replied, "If he is smart enough, he will agree!"

Indeed, Haigang and Suo Lun could be considered archenemies.

A good portion of the Hai Family’s navy had been destroyed by Suo Lun’s hand, not to mention the Hai Family had closely followed Zhi Li.

Zhi Yan asked, "So, do you think our negotiation with Haigang will go smoothly this time?"

Suo Lun shook his head, "I don’t know, I’m too much of a stranger to that man."

Truly, to Suo Lun, Haigang was an enigma, but one thing was certain: he was another formidable ruler.

Otherwise, the Hai Family wouldn’t have grown so powerful under his command.

Suo Lun was really curious about what kind of face, what kind of posture the lord of Yingzhou Island, Haigang, would present to welcome him!

...

A few dozen miles from the docks of Yingzhou Island, Suo Lun’s vessel was already surrounded by the warships of Yingzhou Island!

Suo Lun called out to a warship’s naval commander, "Please report to Lord Haigang of Yingzhou Island that the Marquis of Tianshui, acting governor of Southeast Province from Rage Wave Kingdom, Suo Lun, has come to visit!"

After declaring his identity, Suo Lun immediately felt a surge of killing intent all around.

The naval troops of the Hai Family on the decks of the surrounding warships drew their swords almost simultaneously, their gazes towards Suo Lun as if about to spit fire, filled with absolute hostility.

"Creak..." At the same time, the huge crossbows on every warship were all drawn, monstrous bolts loaded and aimed directly at Suo Lun.

Suo Lun even suspected that at this moment, if someone took the lead, the few hundred sailors aboard the several Hai Family warships surrounding him would desperately pounce to tear him into pieces.

The naval forces of the Hai Family, nearly forty thousand strong, had died at Suo Lun’s hands; it seemed he had still underestimated the hostility of the other side.

Facing the swords of several hundred Hai Family naval troops, as well as the dozen or so fearsome giant crossbows, Suo Lun remained calm and again said evenly, "Please report to Lord Haigang that Suo Lun has come to visit!"

The naval commander of the Hai Family, his eyes locked tightly on Suo Lun for a long while, then growled in a low voice, "Wait here, make one move and you’ll be shot into a hornet’s nest!"
