Towards Eternity
Ch 545's. Border Island
The Sacred Calendar of Ryuan, seventh month, 576.
Six hundred years after the completion of the war between the great clans that destroyed many other great empires to nothing else. This calendar was used as the birthmark of the new era of the rule of the Great Ryuan Empire. Thus, Ryuan Empire has stood for 576 years, which means the war between the big clans takes up to 24 years before it is completely over.
No one clearly knows the origin of the founder of the Great Ryuan Empire, but it is said that the first emperor, the, or the founder of the empire managed to unite some remnants of the power of the empire that had been destroyed due to the great war between clans. With his strength and leadership, he built a new Empire known as the Ryuan Empire.
At first, the territory covered only half of Fenshu Island, a large island that became one of the tangible evidence of the impact of war between large clans. This island was a fragment of the main continent of the Origin World, but due to the great battle, it had separated and eventually became the seat of the Ryuan Empire.
With his power, the First Emperor began to expand his territory to include the entire large island, which was then continued by the next emperor until the current emperor.
Chizi Ryuan, the current Emperor of the Ryuan Empire was the most influential and powerful leader in the history of the empire. With just his strength, he had conquered many islands scattered across Fenshu Island. With this power, he had exterminated many sea beasts which were the main problem in every region of the ocean.
But even though he was very strong, he himself could not conquer the territory of the Dead Sea which became the main lair of wild beasts. It was believed that there was an Emperor-level sea beast present within this sea, but due to the rarity of its appearance there were only rumors of this in the entire region of the Ryuan Empire.
In a room underground on Fenshu Island, a man dressed in full battle clothes was sitting cross-legged while hovering in the air.
This man was meditating until then he opened his eyes slowly and muttered the words quietly, "He has come."
His eyes revealed an unstoppable feeling and exuded an extremely strong and sturdy aura. His face although it looks unemotional, but it can make someone become interested and want to submit to the ground once he sees his figure. This man was Emperor Chizi Ryuan, the Emperor of the Ryuan Empire.
His body wearing war clothes did not make him feel disturbed in the slightest. He calmly changed his posture to stand up, before then he calmly walked out of the room where he was meditating.
As soon as he came out, he was immediately greeted by two black-clothed figures who instantly kneeled respectfully to him. "Honor to the Emperor!" call one of the two figures.
The man did not stare at the two people at all and just walked past the two while saying calmly, "Going to the Eastern Border immediately, that person has already come. Don't lose her figure, I don't want any failures like before."
These words quickly made the two people become a little depressed, but the two immediately executed their orders and immediately darted away.
"To be able to kill my subordinates, and even pass through the territory of the Dead Sea with such force. A person like him deserves to be my subordinate," he said calmly before then starting to step up the stairs that led out of the basement.
***
Right now, off the coast of the Eastern Border Island, a ship was sailing very fast and made a guard in charge of guarding the watchtower to the point of tumbling back from its seat.
"Pe-Warning!!!! An unidentified ship was speeding towards the south of the island! The ship is moving fast and is expected to reach the island in a moment!!!" The guard exclaimed at a pipe that made him sound forwarded and could be heard throughout the tower through the pipe.
Dozens of guards present in the tower immediately went out and went to the place believed to be the direction of the arrival of the ship intended by the guard guard guarding above the tower. They all looked like royal warriors wearing leather clothes that were resistant to light attacks.
"Everything! Follow my orders! All those carrying shields, set up defensive formation 3! For the one carrying the spear, defensive position 2! Archers, install air attack position 1! And the main assailant, get ready behind and wait for my cue!" A warrior who had a large body and wore a battle armor of dark metal armed with a large sword exclaimed in order to these soldiers.
The soldiers who were there followed all the directions of this great warrior. He was a captain of the Border Island's coast guard soldiers. With strength at the peak of the 11th level of the Basic Foundation, he was a great power on this island.
Seen from the respectful gazes of the soldiers on him, it could be said that his reputation must have been enormous.
"Captain! The unknown ship had entered within the coastline of the island! It's expected to be here in a minute!" An alley soldier under this captaincy gave his report firmly and unhurriedly.
However, this report immediately made this captain to be surprised instead of playing. Never before had a ship that had such speed been heard of by him. The only one who had this kind of speed he thought of was an ocean ferocious beast!
"The ship is already visible!" Suddenly an exclamation heard from an alley soldier wearing a shield in the front row made everyone's attention to the front and saw a shadow of a small dot that grew bigger over time to show its shape it was a ship that was moving very fast.
"That's it! Foreign ships visible from the watchtower!"
The captain of the soldiers took a cold breath. The speed of the ship that was sailing fast to where they were was far beyond his shadow. In addition to its unreasonable speed, the ship also turned out to have no sail, and even the body of the ship was made of metal.
Ships are generally made using wood, only warships are made using metal materials. This is because the use of metal can make the speed of the ship decreases dramatically because of its weight. There is also the risk of broken sails because they cannot pull the ship because it is too heavy, and many more. But right now, the ship he saw was not only made of metal, but it could also move extremely fast miraculously!
The soldier captain was stunned for a moment before then regained his senses. "What are you guys daydreaming about?! Put your positions on, the ship will soon be docked here! Don't let them die silly from not focusing!" he snaps at his subordinates. Soon all the soldiers seemed ready in their place and showed all the weapons in their hands.
Meanwhile, on board the group Weng Lou. The figure of Weng Lou stood upright staring at the island in front of them with a big smile.
After so many days of sailing, finally this day arrived as well. After going through the danger in the Dead Sea, they were all finally able to reach the border region of the Ryuan Empire which was none other than the island in front of him at the moment.
"So? Will we come in peace, or....." The voice of the Black Ape Fighter sounded from behind Weng Lou. His head slightly peeked out from behind the door in the middle of the deck of the ship, not wanting his figure to be seen by people.
"Peacefully? Hah... hahahaha...after what we got because of that bastard woman? How could I possibly dock in peace....." Weng Lou replied in a cold voice. He vividly remembers being pulled underwater by a huge octopus that had stopped their ship in the middle of the Dead Sea region.
He had decided that he would avenge them once he got to where the woman he was fighting was from. But of course, he wouldn't do it blatantly. He would not have survived in this place if he had done something. Therefore, he will do it in secret, or his identity is hidden.
"You seem to be planning a crime, you know? Even the face of a serial killer cannot be likened to your current face," commented the Black Ape Fighter who looked at the frightening face of Weng Lou.
Of course his face did not resemble that of a serial killer, he was more suitable compared to a group slayer because the idea in his head right now could make people suspect that he was a human-skinned monster.
