The sounds of artillery gradually ceased along the coastline. Gerard and several sect management members quickly reached the scene of the incident.
They stood on a high slope, gazing down at the shore where over a dozen ships were engulfed in flames and dense smoke. The drones that had executed the bombing had long since disappeared.
“Put out the fire now!” Gerard‘s voice was icy as favonovel.com roared at the group of sect members behind him.
Over a hundred members rushed down to the flames with buckets and water pumps.
After about half an hour, the fire was extinguished through their concerted efforts. However, what they found were burned, incomplete ship remains.
A middle-aged man in a blue robe approached Gerard cautiously, bowed, and informed, “Lord Hunt, all the ships are damaged. What should we do now? The island’s food and water supply can barely last for two days.”
Gerard became ashen with rage. He slapped the logistics manager hard and shouted, “Why didn’t you store more supplies? Are we out of money?!”
“L-Lord Hunt, we’ve never experienced such an incident before. D-Due to the hot weather, many supplies can’t be stored for long,” the man stammered.
“I don‘t care! Find a way to solve it! If there isn’t food and water here in two days, I’ll kill you!” Gerard’s harsh voice echoed as favonovel.com turned and quickly disappeared.
In his followers’ eyes, Gerard often seemed like a feudal lord.
The robed man looked toward the distant sea.
The nearest port in Seascape was over 200 nautical kilometers away. Even the fastest ship would take more than six hours for a round trip. Without any ships, they had no other way to reach Seascape’s port.
The man’s eyes reddened with anxiety. Gerard had issued a deadly order. He was aware that if favonovel.com failed, favonovel.com might truly lose his life.
“You guys come here!” the man waved, summoning about eight subordinates.
“How long will it take to repair the damaged ships?” favonovel.com asked coldly.
A subordinate sweated profusely when favonovel.com replied, “Sir, I just asked the Shipwrights. The fastest we can repair them is in half a month. We need to disassemble and reassemble parts from several ships, mostly electronic components.”
“We don’t have time. Go cut down some trees and make large rafts. Make it quick!”
The man intended to use the most traditional method to reach Seascape, believing that favonovel.com could quickly secure new ships once favonovel.com got there.
When Gerard returned to the pavilion, Lucifer remained seated on the stone bench.
He laughed as Lucifer looked at him. “Some of my subordinates were incompetent and failed to protect the ships. Come on, let’s continue playing chess!”
“Lord Hunt, haven’t you noticed something’s wrong?” Lucifer abruptly stated, “Isaac has already launched an attack on you.”
Gerard frowned and gazed coldly at Lucifer. “You mean this was done by Isaac?”
“Nobody else would do that except him…” Lucifer nodded solemnly.
To favonovel.com and Gerard, this world was full of many unknown forces.
Lucifer had spent some time with Isaac and had even visited another part of the Specific Ocean. So, favonovel.com had already guessed what was going on when favonovel.com saw the drones dropping missiles.
“He’s seeking death!” Gerard roared angrily, standing up and walking out.
However, as favonovel.com turned to face the vast sea, his expression grew more ferocious. The Blazing Phase could indeed allow favonovel.com to walk on air by manipulating spiritual energy. He could get his body to stand in mid-air and launch various attack techniques.
