Chapter 747: Chapter 432: Finding a Turtle in the Ocean_3

"Yes!"

Jon prepared diligently. To accommodate the three hundred people, they needed a large warship from the Wood Dynasty—Revered Lord had no such warship, only some small boats. He went to the naval base at the port, trying to borrow a large boat from the navy. However, when everything was ready, and he went to report to the Master, the Master said, "No need to hurry."

Jon:?

On the second day, Owen Bertram suddenly called him, "Take the men and go with the officials."

Jon hurriedly assembled the men, but Master Owen did not go to the port; instead, he led them north along the coastline, leaving Jon very puzzled. The three hundred military officers were all cultivators and moved at high speeds, following Master Owen as they sprinted four hundred miles to a desolate and dangerous stretch of coastline. Master Owen stopped on a towering cliff, facing the sea, and told Jon, "Wait."

Although Jon had many questions, he dare not ask. After about a shichen, one of the military officers under Jon suddenly pointed to the distant sky and said, "What is that thing? It seems to be flying towards us and getting bigger and bigger..."

Jon and the others looked and indeed saw an odd black spot rapidly approaching and growing larger, and it didn’t look like a big bird or anything like that.

"It’s our ship," said Master Owen, suddenly speaking out.

"Ship?" Jon puzzled, he had heard of warships that could soar in the sky, but they only existed in legends since ancient times. Like the once famous "Five-toothed Battleship."

Each of these warships was extremely expensive; the Wood Dynasty only had one fleet with such "floating warships"—the legendary Imperial Fleet.

In fact, these floating warships in the fleet had been built thousands of years ago, and their numbers had not increased or decreased over the years, as the Wood Dynasty no longer had the financial resources to forge new floating warships. Even maintaining the existing ones costs as much as building a new ordinary navy every year.

Everyone in the Wood Dynasty knew that most of these maintenance costs went into the pockets of the various military leaders, and they feared that those floating warships could no longer fly.

But now, Master Owen had borrowed a floating warship for this expedition! Jon was astonished: Where did it come from?

After waiting for a while, the floating warship was close in front of Jon and the other military officers, who were astonished by its size. It was huge!

Jon had seen the floating warships of the Imperial Fleet before—of course, only from a distance, following Master Lane. They were moored in the harbor, not flying in the sky. Compared to Master Owen’s warship, they were only about half the size.

Owen Bertram didn’t explain; this was the first battle of the "Celestial Warship".

The massive Celestial Warship slowly descended, stirring up gales on the ground. Its heavy armor was engraved with parallel or crossed arrays, which, flickering with mystical brilliance, gave the entire Celestial Warship an invincible aura!

Before such a warship, Jon and his subordinate military officers couldn’t help but shudder in fear.

When the Celestial Warship dropped to a hundred feet above ground, a massive hatch opened sideways, and David, along with thirty-six military officers, jumped down, kneeling on the ground, "Master!"

Stairs extended from the hatch.

"Please board the ship."

Owen Bertram ascended the stairs with a nod. Jon quietly approached his old comrade, David, and asked cautiously, "Where did this fellow come from?"

David smiled mysteriously but shook his head, refusing to answer.

Everyone boarded the Celestial Warship, and Jon and his subordinates looked around curiously, touching things here and there but appearing somewhat timid, like a young country wife entering the city for the first time.

They didn’t dare touch too much, though, as they couldn’t afford to break anything...

The Celestial Warship once again ascended into the sky, speeding towards the East Sea.

Jon was somewhat puzzled: given such a divine object in possession, the giant turtle seemed insignificant, so why did Master Owen personally make this trip?

According to previous sightings by fishermen, the giant turtle often roamed between the Wood Dynasty’s eastern coastline and Sang Island, covering tens of thousands of miles of narrow sea area from north to south. The Celestial Warship quickly arrived in the area, and after searching for several days, the giant beast remained elusive.

The Celestial Warship had a full complement of a thousand men, and everyone from David and Jon to ordinary Military Officers wondered where the giant turtle had gone. The creature had been showing up frequently recently, with many fishermen witnessing it, so how come they couldn’t find it when they specifically went looking for it?

Master Owen could hardly bear the pain of the Celestial Warship’s daily cost of fifty tons of Spirit Jade for hovering! It was too expensive...

During wartime, with Arrays and Magical Instruments activated simultaneously, this number would probably double. Just thinking about the expenses when the entire fleet was in operation gave Master Owen a headache.

"War is so expensive," Master Owen lamented in secret.

Unable to find the Giant Turtle, Master Owen ordered the Celestial Warship to land on the sea, significantly reducing its consumption to only 30,000-40,000 Spirit Jade daily.

Then he sent everyone from the Fifth Great Domain to search for the Giant Turtle.

On the fourth day, Wayne Malvin hurried back, "The Sangdao people are here!"

Across the vast ocean, six colossal ships sailed through the waves. Several giant birds hovered thousands of miles above, carefully observing the entire fleet. Aboard the Celestial Warship, Everley spread her arms wide as a mural of spiritual light appeared before her, showing the scenes that those gigantic birds were observing in real-time.
