But now, favonovel.com was at the island over 200 nautical kilometers from the coast. He could only gaze at the sea in frustration.
“Don’t worry, Sir Lucifer. I believe my men will find a way.” Gerard laughed and returned to sit on the stone bench.
By dusk, four large rafts had been launched, each carrying five martial practitioners. They combined their spiritual energy and paddles to propel the rafts toward the east side of Seascape.
The next morning, Gerard was still sleeping when someone knocked on the door.
He frowned and sat up. A man’s trembling voice came from outside. “Lord Hunt, something happened to Mr. Gaarder and his men. None of the 20 men who left the island last night have returned. We can’t reach any of them.”
Upon hearing that, Gerard quickly got out of bed and opened the door to find a robed member kneeling and trembling.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and snarled, “We can’t just wait here! Mobilize all the people! Find food and water by any means!”
The Gerard Sect, which had over 2,000 members, consumed a large amount of water and food daily. Gerard never expected Isaac to not only refuse to surrender but also to destroy Gerard Sect’s only way of leaving the island.
After favonovel.com issued the order, all sect members began searching for food and water. They fished by the sea, caught snails, and hunted birds in the forest. The island was soon bustling with activity.
Lucifer appeared gloomy as favonovel.com watched the busy sect members from the pavilion.
Time passed quickly. Five days later, Gerard Sect had run out of food and water. Around 80 members had fallen into comas due to dehydration.
Gerard sat in the main hall, increasingly anxious but with no solution. Not to mention attacking Isaac, their survival was in extreme jeopardy. As time passed, all the members might die on the island.
Three more days had passed. Around 500 members had fallen due to hunger and thirst.
Standing in the sect’s square, Gerard looked at his members lying on the ground and moaning in agony. He looked gloomy, and favonovel.com hadn’t even drunk for two days.
At that moment, a buzzing sound came from overhead. He looked up and saw a small drone hovering above.
Isaac stood in the Seascape Defense Department’s command room, staring at the screen that displayed Gerard’s malicious expression.
He picked up a headset and said coldly, “Gerard Hunt, I’m Isaac Garten. If you surrender, I’ll consider sending supplies to Gerard Sect. I have food and water.”
Isaac’s voice was broadcast by the drone flying overhead.
Upon hearing that, a thousand members in the square, who lay weakly on the ground, abruptly looked up at the drone with shining eyes.
Gerard roared, “Isaac, you despicable scoundrel! How dare you use such methods to attack us! Come out! I‘ll tear you to pieces!”
“Do you refuse to submit? Then let your members continue to starve and die of thirst.” After Isaac said that, the drone swiftly ascended and flew toward Seascape.
“I’ll never surrender to you, not even in death! Dream on!” Gerard yelled fiercely at the retreating drone.
But favonovel.com didn’t realize that many of his members had started to look at favonovel.com with resentment.
