On the ocean.
The Bone Dragon's death chains coiled around the ship, pulling it forward rapidly through the air.
"Boss Fang... we just handed those warships over to the Empire like that..."
Cao Ge still felt a pang of regret.
Those warships were worth a fortune.
Even though exchanging them for rit points would bring in quite a lot, he still felt it was a loss.
"Even if we kept all those ships, we wouldn't be able to find enough people to operate them for the ti being," Fang Heng said calmly. "Besides, keeping so many ships would only slow us down. Handing them over to the Empire lets us cash them in quickly and also gain more support from the Empire."
As he spoke, ga notifications appeared.

Not bad.
Fang Heng nodded inwardly.
He had earned King of Gods points from wiping out an Imperial army wave.
That was a major benefit.
Right now, his zombie clones still needed a large number of points for permanent transformation.
If there was ti, he could consider farming both enemy empires.
As Fang Heng thought, he looked into the distance.
As the sun gradually sank into the sea, darkness quickly spread, and visibility dropped.
Under the overcast sky, even though they had entered contested waters, any nearby ships that sensed the terrifying pressure around them quickly fled, not daring to take another look.
By the ti they reached the outer waters of Sea God Island, Fang Heng had already reversed the summoning of the Bone Dragon to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"I can see it, Sea God Island is just ahead," Cao Ge said, already spotting the faint red mist-covered region ahead. "We're almost there! Speed up!"
"Report!"
Two indigenous sailors on the watchtower shouted, "There are three ships nine nautical miles ahead of us, heading toward our direction. They are flying the flags of the Lyman Empire."
Hearing this, everyone imdiately beca alert.
"No need to panic. This is already Sea God Island waters. It's a safe zone," Cao Ge signaled everyone to stay calm.
For safety, however, he still ordered the ships to adjust course, avoiding the Lyman Empire vessels and maintaining a safe distance, trying not to provoke them.
"Change course. We will approach the port from the right side of Sea God Island."
"Yes."
At the sa ti, the three Lyman Empire ships also noticed Fang Heng's vessel.
"It's an Oz Empire rchant ship," Captain Cyril said, looking through his telescope with a puzzled expression. "Strange, rchant ships from the Oz Empire rarely enter this sea region. Since we sealed it off in recent years, we haven't seen even half a ship. How did they get through the blockade ahead?"
On the main ship, Lyman Empire Third Prince Raygynold took the telescope and observed the rchant ship from a distance.
Raygynold was deeply fascinated by divine power and often visited Sea God Island.
Unexpectedly, he had coincidentally encountered an Oz Empire rchant ship while leaving the island today.
"Heh, it seems the Oz Empire is also interested in the deity of Sea God Island," Raygynold sneered. "I've never heard of this rchant guild. It's probably a military ship disguised as a rchant vessel."
"Most likely," Cyril agreed. "Ordinary rchant ships cannot break through the contested sea blockade. Even if our scout ships don't attack, the Jacques tribe savages would tear them apart."
"They are changing course. It seems they want to avoid us," Cyril confird.
Raygynold licked his lips slightly as he looked at the ship. "Cyril, turn as well. Destroy them."
Cyril frowned and said, "Your Highness, this is Sea God Island territory. Initiating combat here is not allowed."
"Not allowed? So what?"
Raygynold looked at the distant ship with excitent in his eyes, "As long as we wipe them out completely, who can prove it was us?"
Raygynold had just obtained a powerful deity from Sea God Island and was itching to test his power.
Coincidentally, they had run into an Oz Empire ship.
They were just unlucky!
"They are pretending to be a rchant ship sneaking into Sea God Island. They definitely have ill intentions. This ti, we can expose the Oz Empire's conspiracy. Stop them now, and I will report your rit to my father!"
"Yes!"
Cyril was slightly stunned, his eyes also burning with excitent.
"I will not fail Your Highness' trust!"
He knew the king's youngest son had a stubborn personality and rarely changed his mind.
To him, this was just a disguised enemy rchant ship, while they had three main warships, all elite forces equipped and staffed to protect the prince.
The difference in strength was overwhelming.
There was no chance of failure.
"Change course! Approach the rchant ship! Energy cannons, aim and prepare!"
"Yes!"
In the distance, Cao Ge saw the three Lyman Empire ships also turning toward them, his brows tightly furrowed.
Fang Heng shrugged. "Cao Ge, looks like they're coming for us."
Huh? Seriously?
Cao Ge was also a bit stunned.
Just monts ago, he had confidently said that everyone would avoid conflict near Sea God Island, but now the Lyman Empire was already moving in for battle.
Cao Ge frowned and said, "Send them a ssage telling them this is Sea God Island territory. We have no intention of conflict. Are they trying to start a war here?"
"Captain! They've blocked our ssages. They've entered combat mode!"
Looking up, the three ships had fully raised their cannons into firing position, all muzzles aid at them.
Both sides were rapidly closing in.
