Translator: 549690339
By sea, it would only take about seven days to travel from the Roson Empire to the Arkas Empire. Once they reached the Arkas Empire, it would take about three days to reach the port city of pudding, which was the closest to the Duchy of Versailles. When they arrived, Ryan and the others would have to get off the ship and change to a carriage. After about seven days on land, they would reach Casar city.
As for the three-in-charge generation that Hart mentioned, they would encounter it on the fifth Day of the Sea journey. It would take a total of two days to sail, and these two days of sea journey were the so-called three-in-charge generation.
The warships of both the Arkas and the Rosen Empire rarely came here, because this was equivalent to the buffer area between the Rosen Empire and the Arkas Empire. If the fleets of either country entered this place, the other party would be very nervous and afraid that they would attack them. So after a long time, no warships came here, and it eventually became the most rampant place for Pirates.
Almost everyone who sailed on the sea knew that when it came to the three states, you had to be prepared to be robbed at any time, and the battle could start at any time.
After a few days on the sea, the smooth sailing was finally about to enter a no man’s land. Hart became even more nervous because that ship had been following them all this time.
In order to allow the crew to have a good rest in order to prepare for the battle that could happen at any time, Hart had deliberately stopped the ship for a good rest for a day before he went into a state of non-interference. At the same time, he also wanted to see if the ship was really following them or just following them.
In the end, Hart found out that the other party had followed them here. They were resting, and the other party was also resting, but they had always maintained a relatively safe distance from them.
After Hart asked Ryan, he also understood that it was useless to talk to Ryan. He could only order the people on the ship to be ready for battle at any time.
After a day’s rest, Hart and the others officially entered the lawless lands the next day. Once the lawless lands was in effect, all the ships would consciously keep a relatively safe distance from ships that were not part of their own fleet to avoid any misunderstandings. This was because some merchant ships could turn into Pirates at any time here.
Hart also paid special attention to the ship that had been following him. That ship still maintained a relatively safe distance from them and didn’t attack them. This made Hart somewhat believe Ryan’s words.
The first day passed peacefully. At night, Hart and the others dropped their anchor and released a sentry post before going to rest. However, everyone placed their weapons in a place that was within reach.
The next day, Hart and the others set off early in the morning. Everyone’s nerves were tense, afraid that something would happen. Perhaps it was God’s help, but they didn’t encounter any attacks. This made Hart feel relieved. By night, they had already entered the waters of the Arkas Empire, and Hart finally felt relieved.
However, what upper Hart did not expect was that on the second day after they entered the waters of the Arkas Empire, they were attacked. This attack did not come from the ship that had been following behind them, but from the Arkas Empire’s warship.
Three Arkas ‘warships were sailing on the sea. At first, Hart and the others thought that the other party was just a patrol ship and did not pay much attention to it. However, what they did not expect was that as soon as they entered the other party’s shooting range, the other party immediately launched a fierce bombardment on them. This caused Hart and the others to suffer a great loss. A few people on the ship were killed, and a few beddings were destroyed.
Fortunately, Hart and the others were also experienced in battle, so they immediately reacted. No matter why the other party attacked them, they immediately began to fight back.
However, this was just a general-class merchant ship, while the other side had three warships. Their firepower was not as good as the other side’s, and they were also not as good as the other side’s spells, so they were constantly being beaten.
At this moment, the ship that had been following them came over and attacked the three military ships. The attack from the ship was also very fierce, and it was not something that their small ship could compare with. Most importantly, the other party’s attack was not afraid of death. They charged fiercely at the three warships as if they were going to crash into the other party.
At this time, Hart finally believed that the other party was here to protect them, but Hart felt strange. Who was it that was protecting them? if it was someone from the family, then they should have contacted them. If it wasn’t someone from the family, who could it be?
The three warships did not expect someone to suddenly appear out of nowhere. They had been caught off guard. At the same time, they also realized that the other party did not seem to care about their own lives at all. It was as if he wanted to die with them.
The three warships were afraid and immediately retreated slowly. The ship did not pursue, but only maintained a certain distance from the sail and followed behind him.
Now that Hart had sent out a flag signal to the other party, there was no response. In the end, Hart had no choice but to drive forward. Three days later, they arrived at the city of pudding, and the ship that had been following them had disappeared without a trace.
That ship was, of course, the swordfish that Zhao Hai had sent to protect Ryan. The swordfish was full of undead creatures, and they were not afraid of death. If it weren’t for the fact that they were protecting Ryan, they would have really wanted to take the three Arkas ‘warships.
Of course, the moment Ryan was attacked, Zhao Hai received the news immediately. When he heard that it was a warship that attacked Ryan and his team, Zhao Hai did not know who was attacking them.
