Chapter 129: Homecoming (Extra chapter for Alliance Leader “Wei Zhijian” [16])

On the vast and boundless ocean, only a slightly cool sea breeze brushed across the corner of the ship that had been baked hot by the sun.

The three-masted warship cut through the waves all the way, and its bulging sails were like a giant fan, allowing the three-masted warship under it to break through the surging waves and gallop towards the direction of Idar Territory.

Although the Idar people had a great time in the previous coral island landing battle and the naval battle in which Pearson was captured not long ago, they also almost consumed most of the magic crystal bombs carried on the warships.

The remaining magic crystal bombs were divided into two parts by Admiral Mal Karen. One part will be taken back to Idar County by him, and the other will be kept as a secret weapon for Captain Jack.

Of course, this must have been something Bruno had instructed long ago.

Otherwise, even if Mal Karen had great courage, he would never dare to hand over a powerful weapon like the magic crystal bomb to other people's hands without permission.

Bruno had held several meetings before the expedition to decide on the strategy to be implemented after the victory. He then handed it over to Admiral Mal Karen: "Let Captain Jack lead the Coral Island Pirates and provide him with a certain degree of military support, so as to stabilize the Coral Island Pirates' original sphere of influence as soon as possible and lay a solid foundation for gradually annexing and eroding other pirate forces entrenched in Basel's territorial waters."

This is the control strategy that the Idar people will implement in the Basel Sea.

Because this sea area, including the coral island, is too close to the Kingdom of Basel!

So if Bruno directly sent Idar naval soldiers to take over and patrol on a large scale, it would not be an easy task even under the banner of the Crusaders.

As for the Kingdom of Basel, since you come to fight near my house under the banner of the Crusaders, I will simply turn a blind eye and let you go.

But...if you refuse to leave after the fight, that would be a bit too much! Although the Kingdom of Basel has never paid much attention to the ocean, and therefore its naval power is almost zero, it is still a kingdom after all!

At least...a few wooden sailing ships can still be gathered together.

Since this war could be described as a quick victory, the navy of the Kingdom of Basel did not hear any news or make any response for a while.

But if the Idar ships stay here and refuse to leave, they will sooner or later encounter the navy of the Kingdom of Basel.

Bruno, who has always been pursuing the concept of slow development, doesn't want to be targeted by others so early.

After all, the Kingdom of Basel was the most suitable place for dumping goods in Bruno's original plan.

Besides, the Idar Navy has limited manpower. Once a large number of naval soldiers are stationed in the waters near the coral island, then... what should Idar do? There are only so many naval soldiers currently serving, and a new batch of naval soldiers is still being recruited.

If the Idar Navy had stayed near the coral island, then if anything went wrong with Idar, it would be too late to return to defend.

Therefore, managing pirates through pirates and letting Captain Jack become the agent of Idar Lord is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice at the moment.

After the great pirate Kelvin Plateau became history, Captain Jack would definitely need something to rely on if he wanted to successfully take over the Coral Island Pirates' former territory.

Because the pirate gangs adjacent to the Coral Island Pirates will definitely not miss this precious opportunity!

For those pirates, even if they couldn't swallow the Coral Island Pirates in one breath, it was possible for them to bite off a piece of fat meat.

And Territory Idar is undoubtedly Captain Jack's greatest reliance!

Only with the support of Lord Idar and the help of the magic crystal bomb, Captain Jack had the trump card to compete with other pirate forces and the confidence to intimidate the many pirates under his command.

Unlike Kelvin Prato, who was known for his brutality and cruelty, Captain Jack was once just an ordinary member of the dozens of pirate captains under Kelvin.

In addition, Captain Jack was originally just a refugee who escaped from the Kingdom of Basel. Therefore, in terms of qualifications and prestige, he was inferior to those captains who had followed Kelvin Plateau early on.

And this is exactly what Bruno hopes for! Because only such a person can realize that only by relying on Idar Lord can he get the identity and status he expects, and can always hold Idar Lord's thigh and call him daddy!

Mal Karen stared at the blue ocean not far away, thinking absentmindedly.

Although the Earl was far away in Idar County, all the arrangements he made were just right and amazing.

This also made Admiral Mal Karen sincerely admire his own Earl.

"My lord! My lord! Look!"

Just as Mal Karen was lost in thought, a burst of rapid shouts came from beside him.

"What's wrong?"

As if somewhat dissatisfied with the soldier's reckless tone, Mal Karen turned his head slowly, and then...

He was shocked to see that just on the side of the three-masted warship, about a hundred meters away from the three-masted warship, a thick column of water suddenly burst out on the sea surface!

The water column was like magma gushing out from the crater of a volcano, rushing straight into the sky! "This is..."

Before Mal Karen and the navy soldiers on the warship could come to their senses,

Next,

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But after a moment, a huge body suddenly broke through the originally calm sea surface. Mal Karen only felt that the huge monster... seemed to be bigger than the three-masted warship he was on!

Then……

Its body stayed in the air for a moment, then suddenly dived into the sea, splashing a violent splash of water.

"Could this be... a whale!?"

Looking at this scene on the return voyage, Mal Karen couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Long before setting out to sea, Mal Karen had heard about whales from the fishermen along the coast. They had bodies as big as hills, and huge columns of water gushing out from their backs...

The fishermen's descriptions of the whale even made Mal Karen believe for a time that this was just a rumor made up by the fishermen.

However, when he actually saw such a huge monster with his own eyes...

Mal Karen had no choice but to believe what the Idar fishermen said.

This whale...is so damn big!

For a moment, Mal Karen actually felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, which was a feeling he had never experienced when facing those pirates.

In fact, not only Mal Karen, but all the soldiers present couldn't help but ask themselves, if their enemy was replaced by the whale in front of them... could they still win?

Ever since they crushed the Coral Island pirates with the magic crystal bomb, the Idar soldiers, including Mal Karen, have all felt a little proud...

However, this whale, which was probably just passing by, easily shattered this feeling! The Earl was right. There were indeed too many unknowns hidden in this vast ocean...
