Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2084 Can't Be Mature Anymore

The monk Baoyin's reaction can only be described as him being sensible; otherwise, how could a Saint Realm mage cause such a ruckus on their Great Zhou territory?

Of all the people on this boat, only the monk Baoyin was somewhat troublesome.

But we're at sea now. If a real fight breaks out, Sigrun could just make a few holes in this old sailboat. When the ship sinks, even a Saint-level mage could swim and fight her at the same time.

After confirming the situation, Sigurd didn't bother with any more words. After instructing her subordinates to keep a close eye on the enemy ships, she rode her winged horse back to the camp.

Back at the camp, she learned that while they were locked in a stalemate at sea, the Northeast Navy, led by Badler, had arrived nearby aboard the Northeast No. 1 ship and made contact with the camp via radio.

After confirming the situation, Badler signaled his warships to remain concealed and not reveal themselves easily.

If their negotiations at sea break down, the Northeast No. 1 ship will quickly intervene in the battle and sink the old sailing ship on the other side.

Now that Sigrun has confirmed the situation, she quickly exchanged information with Badler.

After exchanging intelligence, Badler felt that until this matter was resolved, their Northeast Navy should continue to remain covert; having an extra backup plan was always a good thing.

At the same time, encountering unexpected situations and having to change plans on the spot to carry out missions at sea is a valuable experience for the Northeast Navy.

During the brief conversation, the two sides quickly reached a consensus.

With the Northeast Navy on standby outside, Sigurd felt much more at ease.

The arrival of this Southern Capital Kingdom ship involved too many things. After thinking about it, Sigrun decided to go back in person to avoid any misunderstandings.

Sigrun made her decision quickly, mounting her pegasus and setting off.

The Warrior Mountain Range, which was an insurmountable barrier for ground troops, was crossed by Sigrun on her winged horse, and she could reach the city of Mystila in just over ten minutes.

An airship is always on standby in the city for their use.

Within the Great Zhou Dynasty today, in emergency situations, the most efficient means of transportation is not trains, but airships.

On the one hand, within the Great Zhou Dynasty at this stage, the demand for train transportation capacity is very high, which means that trains can no longer stay in one place waiting for anyone.

Therefore, in an emergency, they cannot guarantee that they will be able to board the train 100% of the time.

Another issue, which is a well-worn topic, is that train tracks are not straight lines!
If the straight-line distance from point A to point B is fifty kilometers, then it's highly unlikely that the railway would be only fifty kilometers long and laid straight across.
There are definitely some things to avoid here, and there are also differences in elevation.

At the same time, the train does not travel at its maximum speed the entire way. Moreover, within the Great Zhou Dynasty, the train has to stop at each station, sometimes to load and unload cargo, and sometimes to let passengers on and off.

There are many influencing factors here.

In contrast, airships can truly fly in a straight line to their destination, since there's nothing in the sky that they need to avoid.

Enjoying the private jet service, Sigrun quickly returned to the palace.

Sigrun, dressed in military uniform, looked dashing and walked with a confident stride. However, her serious demeanor lasted only a few seconds before she instantly changed her appearance due to the appearance of a certain figure.

"Huh? Isn't this Zhou Ye? Has his strength improved since I last saw him? No way, no way, he's still only at the Silver Level 1 of the Vajra Realm, is he?"

"..."

The more Zhou Ye tormented Sigurd back then, the more Sigurd has been throwing tantrums at him these past two years.

In front of his older brother, this child is not mature at all. He is determined to avenge every wrong done to him and will repay the humiliation he suffered a hundredfold!
"It's been a while since we last met. Shall we have a little sparring match?"

Compared to ordinary human warriors within the Great Zhou Dynasty, the female warrior race has a major advantage: they possess their own inheritance facility, the 'Trial Hall'. Previously, due to damage to the facility and insufficient energy supply, it was impossible for every female warrior to receive the inheritance. Over many years, they could only conduct one or two trial ceremonies.

But later Zhou Xu made some repairs for them. Although it wasn't completely fixed, the energy supply problem was greatly improved.

In previous years, as soon as Sigrun reached the peak of the Hundred Refinements Realm, she immediately accepted the clan's inheritance trial.

Having passed the trials, she not only successfully upgraded her class, but also finally overtook her elder brother Zhou Ye, breaking through to the Vajra Realm before him.

With a difference of one major realm, Zhou Ye is clearly no longer a match for Sigurd.

Zhou Ye never dreamed that, after his mother, the person who would increase his strength would be his younger sister, Sigurd.

As the eldest brother, he also had to save face. After being spurred on, he worked hard and, with his natural talent, managed to break through to the Vajra Realm relatively smoothly.

But at this point, no matter how hard he tries, he can't possibly compete with Sigriun, who has a lineage and a class.

After Sigrun overtook the car on the corner, she took the lead and maintained it for the rest of the way.

Zhou Ye had just broken through to the Vajra Realm, and she had already advanced to the Silver Two Star of the Vajra Realm.

Of course, another reason that cannot be ignored is that Zhou Ye's greatest talent lies in leading troops; he has a five-star command rating.

While practicing martial arts, he also had to dedicate a lot of time to studying and researching how to lead troops in battle.

Sigriun, on the other hand, is the opposite of him.

Sigrun also has a talent for leading troops, but she focuses on martial arts training.

The difference in their priorities led to a gradual widening of the gap in martial arts skills between the two siblings.

Faced with his younger sister's close-up and exaggerated gestures, Zhou Ye smiled helplessly.

"You came all this way just to intercept me, didn't you?"

"That's right."

Upon hearing this, Sigurd remembered that she had important business to attend to and immediately hurried inside.

"I'll spar with you again later."

"..."

Through radio communication, Zhou Xu had a general understanding of the situation. It was noon, and he was taking a nap in the garden pavilion after finishing his lunch.

Noticing that the two siblings had entered, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at his children, and smiled.

"Not bad, everyone has made progress, especially Ye'er, who has reached the Silver Level 2 of the Vajra Realm."

"!!"

Upon hearing this, Sigurd turned around in disbelief, as if she had been betrayed, while Zhou Ye simply shrugged innocently.

When their cultivation levels are low and they are at the same level, the difference in strength between one and two stars is practically imperceptible to each other using only their senses.

But Zhou Xu is different. He is at the Nascent Soul stage. He doesn't even need to deliberately use his 'Prying Eyes' anymore. He can basically see through the opponent's strength at a glance, even if the opponent is a whole realm weaker than him.
