Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1758: Prince Dragon

Kara isn't some fool who'll take the bait after a couple of provocations.

Some of her previous actions might lead people to believe that she is an impulsive warmonger, but that is not the case.

In the past, she only took risks when she was confident. She is a bold and meticulous person, otherwise she would not have been able to survive in the harsh primitive environment in the early days.

Seeing that Kara not only wouldn't take the bait but was also emptying his magazine, General Octopus was furious, but he couldn't do anything about it.

After all, he wasn't stupid. During their brief exchange, General Octopus had already realized that once he was out of the water, he was no match for that human!

The bullet that hit him, while not enough to kill him instantly, still caused him considerable pain.

To prevent the enemy from continuing to empty his ammunition magazine, General Octopus quickly dived into the sea.

During this time, he glanced at the ship that had sunk beneath the surface of the sea, and General Octopus felt another throbbing pain on his forehead, which made him so angry that his face turned green.

He couldn't fight back once he got on the ship, and even jumping into the sea wouldn't help him with the broken vessel. This was the first time he had encountered such a frustrating situation.

In comparison, he was less concerned about the two tentacles that had been severed by the other party.

He possesses extraordinary regenerative abilities; even if his tentacles are severed, they can regrow in ten to twenty days.

With a fierce glare at the steel warship that had given him the short end of the stick, General Octopus exerted force from its tentacles, and its entire body instantly swam rapidly in one direction like a jet submarine!
The speed and agility the opponent displayed in the sea were on a completely different level compared to when they were on deck.

Meanwhile, deep in the outer seas far from the Great Zhou's territorial waters, a peculiar creature with a dragon's head and a human body, covered in black scales, was resting against a coral.

Having just arrived at this place after a long journey, he dispatched his Octopus General with a squad of fish soldiers to scout the nearby waters.

Judging by the time, General Octopus has been gone for quite some time now. I wonder how his investigation is going.

"Prince——"

Just as he was thinking this, a cry suddenly came from afar.

"You must do me justice!!"

Upon hearing the cries, the Dragon Prince immediately frowned.

The next second, we saw General Octopus flee back in a disheveled state.

"What happened? Who hurt you like this?"

When questioned, General Octopus quickly embellished the story and recounted the events.

"Those humans were incredibly cunning. They covered the entire bottom of the ship with iron plates, and they also used a strange weapon, like a pipe, that made banging sounds and shot things out that hurt a lot when they hit you..."

General Octopus gestured wildly as he spoke. There were many things he had never seen before and didn't know how to describe them, so he could only talk and gesture at the same time.

As the Eight-Clawed General described it, the Dragon Prince frowned more and more deeply.

Although he didn't entirely believe it in his heart, a group of humans who dared to injure his subordinates were already guilty of a capital offense!
"What level of strength did that human who injured you possess?"

Upon hearing this, General Octopus, who had been busy adding fuel to the fire just a moment ago, became somewhat dejected, but dared not lie.

"Hundred, Hundred Refinements Realm".

"Hmph! What a piece of trash! Didn't you boast that you were invincible in the Hundred Refinements Realm?! You were actually defeated by a human of the same realm!" General Octopus was incredibly aggrieved at the mention of this, but still managed to defend himself...

"If this were in the sea, humans would have died eight times over!"

The Dragon Prince ignored him, simply lifting his cloak, grabbing the Storm Halberd, and striding onto the dark brown seahorse beside him.

"Let's go! I, the Crown Prince, will personally confront them!"

Upon hearing this, General Octopus immediately led the way.

"Your Highness, this way!"

Leading his troops, the Dragon Prince set off with great momentum.

At the same time, on Kara's side, along with General Octopus's retreat, the fish soldiers who had attacked their three patrol ships also withdrew.

The enemy's offensive came quickly and went quickly. During this time, the Great Zhou fleet, which had been urgently dispatched to provide support, arrived a step too late and missed its target.

After the two sides met up, Lin Youshu, who had led the fleet to provide support, quickly checked the situation with Kara.

Kara had nothing to hide and simply recounted the whole story.

Upon hearing that they had been attacked by a special race that swam in from the sea, Lin Youshu's expression became noticeably serious.

In this wave, Kara did manage to repel the invading enemies, but the fact that they were a sea creature made them troublesome enough.

Although the armor strength of steam warships is guaranteed, if the enemy keeps hiding in the sea and constantly attacks the bottom of their ships, they really don't have a good way to deal with it.

[It's unclear whether these attackers are scouts from the other side; if so, there's a high possibility that a larger force will follow.]

The thought flashed through his mind, and out of caution, Lin Youshu quickly used a small communication cube to contact the nearest naval fortress and request that Bishop Bolevin, who was currently stationed on the Barton Islands, come to provide support.

Faced with this situation, Lin Youshu felt that even martial artists at the Vajra Realm level probably wouldn't have a good way to deal with it, and could only pray that Bishop Bolaiwen, a Saint Realm mage, could handle it.

In the following days, Lin Youshu significantly increased the number of patrol fleets, and even personally led patrols. The naval soldiers stationed in this area were also mentally prepared for war at any time.

Four days passed quietly in this state. It didn't rain that day, but the sky remained gloomy, and the already turbulent sea suddenly became turbulent.

The weather at sea is unpredictable; sometimes it's calm one moment and torrential rain the next. This is not uncommon.

However, considering that their patrol fleet had just been attacked not long ago, the changes at sea at this time undoubtedly alerted Lin Youshu immediately.

"All fleet, load your weapons! Be ready for battle at any moment!!"

As soon as the order was given, the atmosphere on each ship instantly became tense.

Almost simultaneously, a wave suddenly surged up on the distant sea, forming a unique platform on the water.

Above the waves, Prince Long, wielding the Wave-Surging Halberd and riding a black-brown seahorse, appeared openly in the sight of the naval soldiers.

Behind the Dragon Prince stood a large number of strangely shaped fish soldiers, spread out in formation. Among them was the Octopus General, who had been driven away by Kara earlier. Now, as if he had found a backer, he glared fiercely at them while searching for Kara's figure.
