Chapter 106: A! Huge! Gift! Package!!
Someone might ask: didn’t Kansidang put up any resistance?
He didn’t.
No matter who it was, if they discovered that their stronghold, which had only a few hundred thousand guards, had been infiltrated by several million attackers who were even more skilled than those guards, they wouldn’t have any thoughts of fighting back either.
Was this assassination?
This fucking thing was a war!
Besides, why were there so many people who had managed to infiltrate the stronghold? Had they already joined forces with his own subordinates from the inside?
And don’t tell him they had infiltrated using their own abilities. Just look at these several million people. Could this fucking be called infiltration?
Faced with so many people, and with the possibility that they had collaborators on the inside, what was the point of resisting?
Of course he had to run!
Kansidang had considered that a day like this might come. He just hadn’t expected it to come so soon—or for there to be so many people.
Where on Green Billow Star had they found so many people willing to rebel against him? And who had betrayed him? Who had managed to raise so many people right under his nose? How long had they been plotting this? Had they perhaps started planning it more than a decade ago?
Fortunately, Kansidang had prepared for this long ago.
Why did he live in the highest-level floating farmland?
It wasn’t merely to make the people below expend a tremendous amount of time and effort whenever they wanted to come up and see him. It was also because, theoretically, anyone up there would likewise need to expend a tremendous amount of time and effort to get back down.
If someone wanted to assassinate him, the first thing they would have to do was spend a great deal of time climbing all the way up.
But what if, when faced with an assassin, he could use a single move to switch places and teleport himself to the sea below?
At this moment, all several million of these people were launching their assault from the highest-level floating farmland.
Even if they wanted to come down, it would take them at least an hour at the fastest.
By then, Kansidang had already rushed to the full-length mirror behind him. He tightened his grip on his scepter and first pressed a button in the room.
—BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
Several more explosions rang out.
All the rope ladders were blown up at the same time.
Kansidang let out a cold laugh and charged straight into the full-length mirror.
The mirror rippled, and he disappeared.
The next second, at the sea near the entrance to Kansidang’s domain, a figure stepped out of another full-length mirror aboard a large ship.
Everyone stationed aboard this ship was one of his trusted subordinates. They had also heard the distant sounds of gunfire and artillery.
“Your Majesty.”
The sudden turn of events left everyone looking grim, but when they saw Kansidang, they still dropped to their knees in unison.
“There are rats… Some force has declared war on us. Before I left, I blew up all the rope ladders. They’re all trapped up there.”
“Activate the time bombs. They want my life? Then I’ll make sure they all stay here.”
Kansidang naturally had a backup plan. He had planted bombs throughout his entire domain, specifically to guard against a situation like this.
Some of his trusted subordinates looked reluctant.
“Your Majesty, but this place is something you’ve spent so many years building…”
Kansidang’s expression darkened, and he glared coldly at him.
The subordinate immediately lowered his head and fell silent.
Kansidang gritted his teeth.
Did they think he didn’t know this was the territory he had painstakingly built over the years?
If the people who had come this time numbered not several million, but merely several hundred thousand, he would have led his men into battle against them.
But several million lunatics who fought like rabid dogs—how was he supposed to fight them if the two sides actually went to war?
Those people clearly weren’t afraid of death. Even if they simply kept throwing themselves at him, they could wear him down to death.
Not to mention that he still had no idea who had brought all these people in.
How much did the enemy know about him? Were they even on this ship? If he went outside now, would he immediately walk into an ambush?
Kansidang knew none of these things.
Although Kansidang regarded other people’s lives as little more than garbage, he himself was extremely afraid of death. Under no circumstances would he risk his own life.
“It doesn’t matter.”
His heart was practically bleeding with pain, but Kansidang knew that he absolutely could not show any weakness in front of his subordinates.
So he maintained the same calm expression on his face, even allowing himself a faint smile.
“Exchanging this place for the deaths of several million enemies is worth it.”
Thinking of the Blue Sea people he had seen before leaving, who had looked like rabid dogs, his eyes darkened.
“Not afraid of bullets? Then I’d like to see whether bombs can kill them.”
This large ship was the emergency vessel Kansidang had prepared for himself ten years ago, just in case.
Although the uppermost “Imperial Palace” contained many treasures, Kansidang had stored even more practical treasures aboard this ship, waiting for an unexpected situation like today, when he could sail away and make a comeback.
Kansidang tightened his grip on his scepter.
“Wherever I am, there is Kansidang’s domain. If they want this place, then I’ll make them stay here with their lives.”
“There are so many bombs that even if they discover them, who knows how to dismantle bombs in this day and age? Even if they find them, all they can do is wait to die.”
He slowly exhaled, discreetly observing each of his subordinates’ expressions.
“Once they’re dead, we’ll come back and reclaim these lands in the sky.”
“Let’s go.”
The large ship sped away, leaving the noise and sounds of battle behind.
Although his trusted subordinates felt that their current situation made them look like drowned rats being driven from their homes, they hadn’t witnessed what was happening above with their own eyes. They couldn’t help but admire His Majesty Kansidang’s decisiveness.
To abandon such a vast empire just like that.
Who could have imagined that while a fierce battle was raging above, Kansidang himself was already leaving his domain?
The large ship sailed out, and the fleet of his trusted subordinates followed behind one after another.
…
At the entrance to Kansidang Domain.
A group of Blue Sea people wanted to enter, but they couldn’t get in.
All they could do was remain at the entrance, anxiously waiting.
Ma Yuetian and Zhu Feifan wanted to let them in, but they couldn’t either.
So they too could only stay at the entrance and anxiously wait.
Ever since our God had issued the divine oracle and the battle began, the Gale Wind and the other pirates left behind had been swiftly wiped out by them.
With their overwhelming numbers, weapons, and flying wings aboard their ships, the whole process hadn’t taken much time at all.
This left the Blue Sea residents who had traveled thousands of miles to gather here and spent several months undercover in an especially depressing situation. It was as if they had made arrangements to enjoy a lavish feast, only to wait around hungry for ages and finally be served nothing but a plate of peanuts.
They had spent months disguising themselves. How much loot had they missed out on during that time?
In several months, they could have gone to the temple and done manual labor, and probably built an entire house by now.
Surely, when it came time for battle, they couldn’t possibly end up with nothing more than the achievement of taking down the Gale Wind and a few insignificant nobodies, right?
The points they’d get after splitting them among so many people wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
“How’s it going in there?”
“Oh, our God! They couldn’t possibly be so busy fighting that nobody bothered to find the key to completely open this domain, could they? Let us in already!”
“Hey! Why did the pirate captain I found specifically choose not to take me inside when there were so many people?”
“Maybe it’s because you were pretending to be disabled. He was bringing people in to make a show of force. Why would he bring you?”
“Ha! As if he would’ve taken you in if you weren’t pretending to be disabled.”
“True, hahaahahaha!”
A single Kansidang key could only bring one thousand people inside.
The large pirate groups had far more than a thousand members, so a huge number of pirates—Blue Sea people—had been left outside.
All they could do was stare longingly at the gate.
Countless “left-behind” Blue Sea people, whose numbers far exceeded those who had gotten inside, stared fixedly at the illusory sky before them, hoping that the Blue Sea residents inside wouldn’t focus solely on fighting.
They needed to hurry up, find the key, open the gate, and let them in.
Ma Yuetian was sitting atop Zhu Feifan, likewise guarding the entrance with a thoroughly gloomy expression.
Although, as gatekeepers, they had let a huge number of Blue Sea people inside, that achievement would certainly earn them plenty of points.
But she wanted to participate in the battle too!!
Zhu Feifan felt the same way.
He had only just transformed into a sea monster and hadn’t yet had a chance to see what his sea-monster body could do in a large-scale battle.
The human and the sea monster stared ahead for a while before suddenly receiving the divine oracle from their God along with everyone else.
Kansidang’s domain was filled with buried bombs, and professionals—the Blue Sea bomb-disposal team—were currently dealing with them.
Considering the number of bombs and their detonation times, there was a very good chance that Kansidang intended to escape outside.
The moment the divine oracle descended, the illusory sky rippled, and the bow of a frigate emerged.
The guards on deck were stunned when they saw the sea of people outside.
Ma Yuetian: !!!
Zhu Feifan: !!!
Heaven! Has! Dropped! A! Huge! Gift! Package!!
Zhu Feifan immediately moved forward and unleashed one of his sea-monster suckers. With a powerful swing of his body, he whoosh! sucked the not-particularly-large frigate out.
The pirate guards above didn’t even have time to shout before they found themselves staring eye-to-eye with a sea monster.
Once the frigate emerged, just as the Blue Sea people outside had eagerly hoped, a large ship slowly appeared behind it.
The Blue Sea people waiting at the entrance: It has to be Kansidang! It has to be Kansidang!!
The large ship had a luxurious exterior, with numerous cannons mounted on it and densely packed crew members standing ready for battle.
The crew members looked at the mass of Blue Sea people gathered outside.
They also saw the various cannons the Blue Sea people had brought out.
In previous years, there had also been pirates left outside during the Pirate Conference, waiting for the others to return.
But obviously, ordinary pirates waiting outside wouldn’t point their cannons directly at the entrance to Kansidang’s domain.
“These people… are they here to attack us too?? There are so many of them?!!!”
Kansidang, already dressed in armor, also caught sight of the enormous crowd outside through a crack in the window.
They stretched across an entire stretch of sea, and at first glance, there seemed to be even more of them than the people who had suddenly risen up inside.
The calm smile on Kansidang’s face finally cracked.
Behind him were countless bombs and several million people.
Ahead of him were the weapons aboard ship after ship, and several million people.
The luxurious ship was stuck in the entrance, half inside and half outside.
He could neither retreat nor move forward.
Kansidang stopped smiling.
But smiles have a way of being transferred.
The Blue Sea residents waiting outside swept away their gloomy moods. A luxurious ship like this— even if it wasn’t Kansidang himself, whoever was aboard was definitely an important figure.
Amid the crisp click-click of guns being loaded and the heavy clank of turrets powering up, sincere smiles spread across everyone’s faces.
