Under the starry moonlit night, the tidal sea shimred, cloaked in darkness, save for the rhythmic sound of the waves, creating a deep and mysterious atmosphere.
Suddenly, six agile ships raced from the direction of Boundless City, the sight of them surfing through the waves was truly awe-inspiring, leaving white trails across the sea, breaking the deep silence.
Amidst a group of powerful followers, Leo Ray stood on the foremost ship's bow deck, listening to the roaring sea while gazing at the splashing waves ahead.
Since the entire vessel was shrouded in an Absolute Defense Barrier, the splashing water did not touch the deck but was warded off.
"I must admit, the speed of this fast ship is indeed impressive; in just a short while, the Boundless City behind us has completely vanished."
Leo Ray shifted his gaze, finally resting it on the distant dark horizon, which remained infinite and black.
Despite the exhilarating feeling of riding the waves, Leo Ray clearly had no inclination to savor it.
"Your Majesty, the fleet has been completely left behind by us, should we slow down and wait for a bit?"
Bruno, leading several Minotaur commanders, saluted and inquired of Leo Ray.
"No need, just tell them to stand guard near the port."
Leo Ray waved his hand slightly, instructing them.
Leo Ray understood clearly that although the fleet's ten large sailing ships appeared more imposing due to their size, that was all; their speed was limited, not to ntion their overall strength, which was not even comparable to this fast ship he was on.
In other words, should any unexpected situation arise, those large ships would only beco a burden.
"As you command, Your Majesty."
Upon receiving Leo Ray's order, Bruno and the other Minotaurs imdiately took action.
Watching the entire ship proceed in an orderly manner, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction, yet a touch of heaviness still flickered in his gaze.
Although everything was unfolding thodically, there was still a faint unease, as the cause of the fleet's disappearance had not been discovered.
Moreover, except for conquering Lawrence that one ti, he had almost no experience in naval warfare and command, making everything feel quite foreign, perhaps this was the source of the unease.
"Never mind, beginning is always the hardest, the more so, the more I must bring everything under my control."
Leo Ray composed himself, once again focusing his attention on the scene of the sea voyage ahead.
As the six fast ships sailed through ti, we moved further and further away from land, even though everything around seed unchanged to Leo Ray, with the turbulent sea still vast and boundless.
During the journey, under Leo Ray's direction, our fast ships periodically dropped Magic Beacons floating above the sea to prevent any potential incidents. For soone with Yonir the Great Wind Mage's capability, creating Magic Beacons that could last several days was quite effortless.
"Your Majesty, according to our repeated calculations, this must be the sea where the incident occurred!"
Until midnight, Bruno, holding a Sea Navigation Map, nodded solemnly at Leo Ray.
"Instruct all ships to slow down, but by no ans break formation."
Leo Ray, without hesitation, gave the order imdiately.
Upon receiving Leo Ray's command, the six fast ships began to decelerate imdiately; as the speed lessened, the entire vessel started to sway slightly.
Compared to when we set out, the waves here were noticeably more intense.
But just as Leo Ray was about to instruct the powerful among us to concentrate and seek clues, Yonir's old, astonished voice suddenly broke out: "Your Majesty, the Magic Beacon I just deployed has suddenly vanished!"
Hearing this, Leo Ray's expression tightened, and he imdiately rushed to the stern.
On the boundless sea, nothing could be seen, no Magic Beacons radiating magical glow, only the deep sea water surging back and forth.
"Could it have been swallowed by so sea creature?"
Xiao Jing tilted her head and blurted out; from her rosy little face, it was clear she was still imrsed in the wonder of her first sea voyage.
"Impossible, the Magic Beacon was just deployed, if anything unusual happened, I would have sensed it."
Yonir's old face was filled with certainty as he quickly shook his head.
"So, according to the Lord's hypothesis, did the Magic Beacon mistakenly enter an entry to a Sea Barrier Area?"
Xiao Jing realized promptly and exclaid brightly: "As long as we find the Magic Beacon, everything will be resolved!"
"Let's not rush to conclusions."
Leo Ray waved his hand slightly, then instructed Yonir: "Old Master, can you sense any other Magic Beacons?"
"Please wait, Your Majesty, with my ability, I should be able to sense several nearby Magic Beacons."
After speaking, Yonir closed his aged eyes and began to sense with concentration.
However, shortly after, Yonir opened his eyes, shook his head without success, and said: "Your Majesty, this old one cannot sense any of the Magic Beacons nearby."
"So, have all the Magic Beacons entered the Barrier Area?"
Xiao Jing's fair face was filled with confusion, and she asked puzzledly: "But how is this possible?"
