The round floating disk rose up silently. Oglan held the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, her face serious and solemn.

"Who are the people at the airport now?"

"There are all kinds of people, Miss..."

In response to Oglan's question, the maid behind her hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

“Almost everyone is here.”

"I see."

Although the maid didn't say it explicitly, Oglen obviously understood that this meant that almost all the representatives of all the forces currently gathered in Golden Bay had gathered together. Obviously, they came here not to welcome the fleet of the Holy Kingdom, but to watch the good show first-hand. After all, the itinerary of the fleets of the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wealth was not kept secret, and even made it known to everyone under the promotion of some "interested people". At present, these envoys were here to watch the fun...

Walking into the hall and looking at the crowd not far away, Oglan took a deep breath, then she turned her head and stared at the servants behind her.

"Go, raise the security level to the highest level. All people coming in and out, even servants, must be carefully checked. There must be no mistakes! No matter how high their status is, no one is allowed to enter without an invitation!"

There were envoys from various countries here, plus the fleets from the Holy Kingdom, the Fire Kingdom, and the Wealth Kingdom that were about to arrive. If those damned cultists wanted to make a big news, then this was a perfect opportunity. Although he had already requested the Temple to send support, Ogran still had to do his best to ensure safety, otherwise if something went wrong, he would definitely be the one to take the blame.

Thinking of this, Oglen clenched the hem of her skirt, then loosened her hands and walked into the airport lobby. If Fang Zheng were here, he would find that the design of this airport lobby was quite similar to the airport lounge in his own world. The wide space and bright floor-to-ceiling windows allowed a clear view of the sea view and the suspended port outside. This was also the only newly rebuilt port in Golden Bay. After all, when the Age of Exploration began a hundred years ago, people only had ships on the sea and had never thought that one day they would welcome a fleet from the air. Therefore, this was the only air port designed and constructed completely in a modern style.

This place is large enough to accommodate ten flagships and two hundred floating magic warships of various levels. Coupled with the excellent sheltered environment, the value of Golden Bay has increased even further than a hundred years ago.

Sure enough, they are all here.

Oglan's eyes slowly swept over the crowd around him. Those wearing various special clothes were representatives of various principalities, and on the other side, the representatives of four countries were quite conspicuous. The ones wearing white armor were the Knights Templar of the Holy Kingdom, and the blond middle-aged man standing in front of them was the representative of the Holy Kingdom - the ancient knight Astor. He was also one of the high-ranking officials of the Holy Temple. Oglan had heard rumors about this great knight. It was said that this great knight was a playboy when he was young and had a romantic history with many noble women. But what people didn't expect was that this young and handsome prince charming, who was almost the dream lover of all the girls in the Holy City, would eventually marry an ordinary female adventurer. And since then, he has changed from a playboy to a good husband who cares about his family. This is also a widely circulated anecdote in the Holy Kingdom.

The reason why Astor was famous, besides his romantic history, was his social skills. As a great knight, his strength was beyond doubt. In addition, the most commendable thing was his diplomatic skills. This great knight was one of the few people in the temple who was responsible for diplomacy and etiquette. He even had a glorious history of going to the Black Stone region alone to reach a non-aggression agreement with the snake people.

Perhaps it is because of this that the Holy Kingdom sent him to Golden Bay to take charge of the affairs here.

"Ah... Miss Auglan."

At this moment, Astor also noticed Oglan walking towards him. He turned around and nodded at him with a smile.

“You’re here too.”

"Yes, Lord Astor."

Oglan also hurriedly returned the greeting, then looked out the glass window - there was nothing there except the blue sea and white clouds.

"It looks like our fleet will be arriving soon?"

"Yes, news has just arrived that you will be able to see the glorious fleet of our Holy Nation in twenty minutes."

Hearing Oglan's question, Astor smiled, reached out his hand and touched the mustache beside his lips.

"Come to think of it, Miss Auglan has watched the First Fleet's military parade before?"

"Yes."

In front of the great knight, Oglan naturally would not lose her temper. She was polite, smiling, and nodded like all proper noble daughters.

"When I was ten years old, I had the honor to attend the First Fleet review. I still remember the shock I felt at that time, especially the figure of the Divine Blessing, which I still cannot forget."

And at this moment, suddenly, a generous voice came from the side and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Well, I believe you will remember this day even more vividly, Miss Auglan."

"…Sir John…"

Hearing the voice, Oglan's eyebrows slightly raised, then she turned her head and saw that not far behind them, a two-meter-tall, burly man wearing red dragon armor and with a beard was walking towards them with a grin on his face.

He is the commander of the Fire Nation's Seventh Fleet, Vice Admiral John Cliff.

The bearded man, who looked to be in his forties, strode up to the two men. He first saluted at Oglan with a smile, and then looked at Astor.

"I have heard of the First Fleet of the Holy Nation for a long time, but unfortunately I have never seen your fleet in the Endless Sea for so long. As it happens, our Seventh Fleet is about to arrive. I hope we can learn from each other... If there is anything you need, please feel free to tell me. We are all citizens of order, and we are all obliged to maintain order."

Hearing this, Oglan couldn't help but frowned slightly. Although Vice Admiral John's words sounded very kind, they had a hint of an older brother teaching a younger brother. In fact, his words translated into English were equivalent to mocking the Holy Kingdom. After all, the Fire Kingdom's Seventh Fleet had been stationed in this sea area for so long, but had never seen the Holy Kingdom's fleet. This was the doorstep of the Holy Kingdom. Wasn't John mocking the Holy Kingdom's fleet as being cowardly?

Not to mention the naked ridicule that followed, which made Oglan quite unhappy - it sounded as if the Fire Nation's fleet had more experience than the Holy Nation, so it looked down on the other side.

"I appreciate your kindness."

However, Astor's expression did not change at all, and he still answered with an elegant smile.

"After all, our fleet has to deal with Chaos' attacks, so there is no extra free time. But this time, I think Sir John will get what he wants. Ah... Speaking of which, a rear admiral of your country was 'missing' in this sea area before... I wonder what the situation is now? Has the missing person been found?"

“…”

Hearing Astor's veiled answer, Vice Admiral John's face changed, and Oglan instantly became nervous. She knew what Astor was talking about. When Oglan and Fang Zheng came to Golden Bay, a warship from the Fire Nation followed them, led by a Rear Admiral named Mousse. Of course, this unlucky guy was killed by Hecate in the end, and their warship is still lying in the sea not far from Golden Bay!

Oglan certainly didn't expect this to remain secret. Even if Fang Zheng didn't say anything, there were so many people and sailors on board at the time, so who would tell others? But what Oglan didn't expect was that the Fire Nation didn't come to her directly and aggressively as she had expected. Instead, the Fire Nation only issued a statement, saying that Vice Admiral Mousse was "missing" while on a special mission... Of course, this meant that the Fire Nation could only swallow this loss in silence.

However, as the commander of the Fire Nation's Seventh Fleet, Vice Admiral John naturally knew the reason. In addition to the fact that the Fire Nation was unwilling to fall out with the Holy Church, the most important thing was that Major General Mousse was entrusted by a great noble in the Fire Nation to handle a "private matter". Originally, everyone thought that there should be no problem with such a legendary strongman taking action personally. In the end, they didn't expect that everything would be lost. Not only did they fail to capture the person they wanted, but they also lost a warship and a major general... The parliament was already troubled enough to appease the angry family members, so naturally they didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"...You don't need to worry about that. We in the Fire Nation have our own way of doing things."

"That's good."

Looking at Lieutenant General John in front of him, Astor smiled slightly, while Lieutenant General John stood there expressionlessly, as if he had no special thoughts.

For a moment, the air began to become quiet.

It’s really hard…

Looking at the two people confronting each other, Oglan felt a cold sweat on her back. She hesitated for a moment and was about to say goodbye and leave. Suddenly, a crisp ring rang out, echoing throughout the entire airport.

“Ding…ding…!”

Here we come!

Hearing the bell, Oglan's whole spirit perked up, and then she quickly turned her head and looked out the window.

In the distance, silver-white warships slowly emerged from the clouds.
