"I'm truly delighted that Guild Master Black Flame is willing to help!" Qing Huang's face lit up with joy upon hearing Shi Feng's agreement.
Although the Zero Wing Guild hadn't focused on developing on the Thunder God Island — merely conducting business there, collecting various rare maritime resources, and maintaining little activity in the Sea of Death — its naval strength was still nothing to scoff at.
The single-masted sailing ship that had been won during the Thunder God Island contest had become the talk of every major superpower. They had all been scrambling for intelligence on it, desperate to get their hands on that vessel.
Even with the major superpowers having significantly bolstered their naval strength since then, the single-masted sailing ship remained a force to be reckoned with.
Qing Huang proceeded to relay all relevant intelligence to Shi Feng while simultaneously organizing her subordinates into forming a fleet bound for the Barbarian God Island.
This time, the Divine Miracle Guild had dispatched a full three fleets to monopolize the heritage ruins on the Barbarian God Island. Each fleet comprised over a hundred vessels, and three fleets could easily seal off the entire island.
Under normal circumstances, the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's naval forces, built up over this period, could have easily broken through such a blockade. However, Jiu Huang's interference had made it impossible for them to deploy the ordinary warship the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion had so painstakingly acquired.
A warship might not match speedboats or sailing ships in velocity, but it was purpose-built for combat, and its naval firepower far surpassed that of a sailing ship. It was precisely because the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion had obtained this warship that they had managed to establish a firm foothold on the Thunder God Island.
Now, with events unfolding suddenly, the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's fleets were all scattered across various missions, spread far apart. If they tried to rush to the Barbarian God Island, Feng Qianyu and the others would likely have already been wiped out by the Divine Miracle Guild. The only force they could mobilize now was a single fleet stationed on the Thunder God Island.
"Guild Master Black Flame, I hope you can help draw away part of the Divine Miracle fleet's attention. You don't need to engage them in real combat — just force them to divert one fleet's worth of strength, and I'll have the confidence to break through their blockade of the Barbarian God Island. After that, we can reinforce the Pavilion Master and the others." Qing Huang produced a sea chart and briefly outlined the plan.
As long as they could break through the blockade and reinforce in time, the Divine Miracle Guild would find it very difficult to do as they pleased. At that point, the various Dragon Phoenix Pavilion fleets scattered across the Sea of Death would converge, making it nearly impossible for the Divine Miracle Guild to make any moves against them. After all, if the two superpowers truly went to war, it would only benefit the other superpowers on the Thunder God Island — a outcome that served nobody's interests.
"So all we need to do is split off one fleet's worth of their strength?" Shi Feng considered for a moment, then nodded. "No problem. We'll do our best to pin down one of their fleets."
The appearance of the Barbarian God Island was a major event, and he naturally wanted to see it for himself.
In his previous life, he had only heard rumors about it.
The Barbarian God Island was a secret drifting island, said to hold the Barbarian God's inherited legacy and treasure. And indeed, this was true — both the legacy and the treasure had the power to instantly elevate a guild's strength by a massive margin.
However, the island's window of appearance was extremely short. By the time the major guilds turned their attention to the sea, the Barbarian God Island had already become nothing more than legend.
"Then I'll trouble Guild Master Black Flame with this," Qing Huang said with heartfelt gratitude.
Once the reinforcement plan was finalized, Qing Huang's fleet was fully prepared. Every crew member had boarded, and the fleet set sail directly for the Barbarian God Island.
The appearance of this fleet left many newly arrived adventure teams on the Thunder God Island stunned.
A full hundred vessels, with over fifty advanced speedboats among them, eight Bronze Rank speedboats, two Iron Rank speedboats, and two ordinary small sailing ships — in the entirety of the Sea of Death, this was an exceptionally elite fleet. Compared to the fleets they normally encountered, it was practically heaven and earth. An ordinary fleet might have five or six Bronze Rank speedboats at best, with the more impressive ones possessing a single small sailing ship, a few dozen advanced speedboats, and nothing but basic speedboats for the rest.
It wasn't just the newly arrived adventure team players who were shocked. Even Shi Feng was surprised by this display, having not expected Feng Qianyu to have developed her naval strength to such an extent — and this was just one of her fleets.
Naturally, any fleet stationed on the Thunder God Island had to be exceptionally well-equipped, both to showcase the guild's power and to serve as a reserve for emergencies. But judging from the strength of this single fleet alone, one could already get a terrifying sense of just how formidable Feng Qianyu's overall naval forces truly were.
As he watched Qing Huang and the others sail out of port, Shi Feng brought out his Swift Dragon speedboat along with two Bronze Rank speedboats, over ten advanced speedboats, an ordinary sailing ship, and his single-masted sailing ship. With five hundred personnel in tow, he set off in pursuit.
Though far fewer in number than Qing Huang's fleet, the combat power on display still drew envious stares from every major adventure team in the port.
