“What, Bishop Josip and Knight Yelach led the team and disappeared?”

Shelter VII asked in surprise.

A Cardinal and an Eighth-order Holy Knight Commander, both are undeniably high ranks within the Clergy.

It was only because the mission to find the lost Divine Artifact was so crucial that they had to personally lead the team.

“Yes, Your Majesty!

Communication at sea is greatly inconvenienced, and since the team set sail, our contact with them has decreased.

According to our agreement, we were to make contact every half a month, which also coincided with the fleet needing to purchase supplies for resupply.

Our last point of contact was in the Black Forest Kingdom.

Various accidents can occur at sea, and it’s quite normal for there to be a delay of a few days.

When no connection was made at the agreed time and place, we didn’t take much notice of it.

It wasn’t until five days ago, when news spread that Ghost Ships were haunting the Misty Marine Region, that the Dalton Family fleet suffered heavy losses trying to encircle and suppress them.

The Alpha Kingdom issued a prohibition order, sealing off the sea route.

The destination of Bishop Josip and Knight Yelach’s journey happened to be Poison Dragon Island in the Misty Marine Region, which then drew the attention of our intelligence personnel.

After investigating, we found out that the Dalton Family fleet had indeed set sail ten days ago.

Currently, the fleet is stationed on their overseas private island for refurbishment and hasn’t returned to port yet.

The Dalton Family exercises very strict control over their own island, our operatives can’t infiltrate it, and it will take some time to understand the specific situation.

However, judging by how the Dalton Family territory is mourning, they have indeed suffered heavy losses this time.

Counting the days, the day the Dalton Family fleet set out to sea was precisely when our people entered the Misty Marine Region.

If the battle to encircle the Ghost Ship is fabricated by the Alpha People, then the losses of the Dalton Family fleet might very well have been caused by a conflict with our people.

The inconsistency lies in the fact that our mission was carried out under strict confidentiality, and our official identity was just a band of pirates.

Engaging in battle with other pirates, there’s no need for the Alpha People to cover it up.

By the way, the battle to encircle the Ghost Ship also involved Hudson and his Giant Dragon.

According to the information released by the Kingdom of Alpha, they only repelled the Ghost Ship.”

Ulysses explained.

The team searching for the Divine Artifact had eight Eighth-order Strongmen, more than twenty Seventh-order Strongmen, and numerous experts of the Fifth and Sixth Order.

Such a lineup could even go dragon slaying.

If they appeared on a battlefield, they could annihilate some weaker nations.

Theoretically, as long as Bishop Josip and Knight Yelach didn’t seek death themselves, they couldn’t die.

Even if the team disappeared, none of the people present thought about the possibility of complete annihilation.

“The Pirate Leader in charge of this mission is called Savage Beard, a notorious Pirate King whose strength ranks within the top three in the pirate world.

With our help, their strength wouldn’t be much weaker than that of the Dalton Family fleet.

Plus, with a Dragon Knight, they might suffer a minor setback, but it certainly wouldn’t end in complete annihilation.

Not having contacted you might mean that the fleet got lost at sea, or perhaps they suffered a defeat in a major battle with the Dalton Family fleet and were forced to retreat into the Misty Marine Region.

The Alpha Kingdom issuing an order to blockade the sea route is very likely because our people revealed their identity during the battle, drawing the attention of the Alpha People.

If that’s the case, then we must arrange for reinforcements as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, the minor issue is our team suffering heavy losses, but if they found the Divine Artifact and it falls into the hands of the Alpha People, the consequences would be unthinkable!”

Blake analyzed.

So familiar with the situation mainly because Savage Beard and his pirates are a chess piece secretly nurtured by the Judgement Knights.

Wanting to take some credit, when Bishop Josip came to borrow people, Blake directly pushed Savage Beard out.

If the failure and heavy losses of the team, or even complete annihilation, were due to the incompetence of the pirates, he wouldn’t be able to avoid bearing responsibility either.

“Blake, you make it sound so easy.

The maritime forces of the Kingdom of Alpha aren’t great, but they’re not made of paper either.

Unless we personally intervene, sending our main fleet, we simply can’t deter them.

Considering the distance, even if our fleet sets sail immediately and rushes there at the fastest speed, it would still take a month.

Taking into account various potential accidents at sea, it wouldn’t be surprising if it took two or three months.

With such a delay just in transit, by the time our fleet arrives, I’m afraid there wouldn’t even be a chance to recover bodies!”

Gulay retorted annoyedly.

All of these are real problems.

The maritime routes of the Extraordinary World are not that easy to navigate.

Along the way, if you encounter a High-order Demon Beast or a Sea Race settlement, you have to detour.

What’s more, the dwellings of these sea creatures are not stationary, with moving being a common occurrence.

As a result, current maritime routes are also constantly changing.

No one has not thought of solving this problem once and for all, but the outcomes are often embarrassing.

After all, the ocean is not a paradise for Humans.

Going to others’ territory to cause trouble comes with a bloody cost.

The sea routes that were cleared through forceful suppression quickly fell again under the counterattacks of the Sea Race.

Anyway, they have the ocean to rely on.

If they can fight, they fight; if they can’t, they flee.

And to give chase, you need to be able to go underwater in the first place.

No matter how skilled Humans are at naval warfare, they are land creatures and simply cannot survive in the sea.

After a few attempts and paying a heavy price, everyone learned to be smart.

When it’s time to take a detour, take a detour.
