Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Chapter 575: Chapter 297: Lanyun Maze, One-Week Agreement (Part 2)

Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, the Sovereign smiled and slightly nodded: “Hmm, since you have such confidence, I will give you one week.”

“If in a week, I don’t see what I want, a war between the two nations will be inevitable.”

The Sovereign spoke in a low voice.

He did not mention the issue of dealing with Fang Yu and Kong Huaao, but Fang Yu understood that if he couldn’t bring evidence to the Sovereign, he and Kong Huaao would certainly be executed by him.

However, this matter was trivial to the Sovereign; what he cared about was the war between the two nations.

At this moment… the Sovereign needed evidence to quell public outrage, and also to silence the South Faction’s military.

Fang Yu realized this, which is why he wanted to secure a week of freedom for himself.

“Sovereign, no, this boy in a week’s time…”

Chang Yunxiang of the South Faction subconsciously wanted to object after hearing the two talk.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt an extremely terrifying aura instantly envelop him.

Under this immense aura, Chang Yunxiang’s body softened, as if faced with the might of heaven and earth, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, his face pale and his whole body trembling.

He shivered as he looked toward the source of the aura and was met with the cold gaze of the Sovereign looking straight at him.

At this moment, Chang Yunxiang was terrified to the extreme, and he hastily knelt down, opening his mouth to the Sovereign: “It was out of line for me! Sovereign, please forgive me.”

“Hmm.”

The Sovereign calmly let out a soft sound, then waved his hand and said: “Let it be for today, whether to fight or not depends on Fang Yu’s evidence in a week.”

“Return Fang Yu’s sea ship to him, and we will quietly await Fang Yu’s answer.”

“Yes!”

The officers from both military factions hurriedly responded and then respectfully withdrew from the hall, not daring to offer any more advice.

As for Fang Yu, he was also promptly relieved of the Power Suppression Bracelet on his hand and taken out of the hall.

The entire hall, only the Sovereign and his personal guards remained.

The Sovereign gently closed his eyes.

In the next moment…

The aura surrounding him quietly faded away.

The dignified and majestic presence he exuded gradually dissipated.

When he opened his eyes again, the absolute rationality and absolute sensitivity in his gaze quietly vanished.

At that moment, the Sovereign transformed from an “entity” representing the national will of the Lanyun Sea Country into a person of flesh and blood with personal emotions.

He was temporarily free from the aura’s influence, free from its ’constraints.’

At this moment, he had become a free Monarch once more.

“Hmph!”

Finally, anger appeared in the Sovereign’s eyes.

“Trying to marginalize me and control everything about me?”

“In the Lanyun Sea Country, some people… can’t resist extending their reach too far.”

At this time, the eyes of several personal guards on the side also flashed with the same anger as the Sovereign.

They belonged to no faction, solely loyal to the Sovereign. Previously, their master had been bound and coerced by public opinion, filling their hearts with long-held anger.

Now that the two military factions had withdrawn, and the Sovereign had returned from the state of national will to his personal self, they no longer hid their emotions.

“Sovereign, Ye Qingdao previously dispatched two Extraordinary Ships outside of military coordination. We are investigating this now.”

“However, the people behind it are very cautious; in the investigation process, we dare not be too aggressive.”

This person spoke in a low voice.

If Fang Yu were here, he would have realized that this person was none other than the captain who had completely undergone Extraordinary Transformation and captured him.

The purpose of capturing Fang Yu was partly under the Sovereign’s orders and partly to investigate the mysterious military orders.

Hearing this person’s words, the Sovereign slightly nodded: “As long as you can find a lead, there will always be gains.”

“The infiltration of the Peacekeeping Council is a hidden danger for every Sea Country; this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and that person must be brought out.”

“Yes, Sovereign!”

This person nodded solemnly, then retreated.

A moment later, another personal guard stepped forward, speaking softly to the Sovereign:

“Sovereign, the mages have been waiting in the side hall for a long time; do you need to summon them?”

“Let them in.”

“Yes!”

As this personal guard opened the doors to the side hall, a number of people dressed in ancient mage robes entered the main hall one by one, then respectfully spoke to the Sovereign: “Greetings, Lord of the Country!”

If at this moment, the two military factions, including Fang Yu, had not yet left the hall, upon seeing these mages, they would surely be shocked and their backs run cold!

In the Ocean World, mages also exist.

But… the mages of the modern era typically wear attire popular in the Sea Ship Era.

And this group of mages still wore the mage robes of the Magic Era, filled with a sense of outdated detachment from modern society.

Globally, only one place still maintained such dressing styles.

That place is… the Sin Domain, isolated from the world, still holding societal understandings of a bygone era…

This group of mages was indeed mages who had fled from the Sin Domain.

However…

Despite having escaped from the Sin Domain, this group of mages attacked the coastal cities of the Lanyun Sea Country.
