Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010

"The troublesome affairs that had dragged on for so long are finally over, now I feel much better."

Enjoying the service of the two sisters on the ship, Du You had a rough time during this period. Du You was not just sitting at the back giving orders; he had been upholding the dignity of a king all this time.

Heaven knows that for an ordinary person from a commoner background, even though he became a king, this kind of identity shift was very difficult for Du You to adapt to. Especially during the meetings with the emperors of the empire, he couldn’t act carelessly.

Besides, all sorts of things were happening in the dark. Du You worried about assassination attempts from the empire, always ready to escape this world, this psychological pressure was tremendous. And on the empire’s side, they were also worried about him taking action against their king, so they secretly sent out a lot of people to probe and patrol continuously.

As a result, the undercover personnel of both sides clashed several times, which later turned out to be mostly "misunderstandings".

In fact, Du You’s subordinates captured three groups of operatives, who were indeed there to assassinate him. One group was from the empire’s nobility, intending to sabotage the establishment of his new kingdom for their unmentionable purposes. This update ıs available on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩

But for the other two groups, Du You found it strange. One was from an assassination organization, and it was unclear who had employed them.

The other was simply an extraterritorial organization, which used methods from another human empire far away, beyond the Divine Flame Empire. Du You was somewhat baffled as to what they wanted to achieve. Obviously, with the Quicksand Empire in between, what was the point of all this? But, being able to get news from so far away and so quickly was indeed no simple feat.

After various events, Du You finally returned to his own territory.

In his own land, where the majority were his own citizens, there was no need to worry about any intruder.

Then, Du You headed out to the sea, looking to vent his anger on those people and to get some exercise. Because of the delayed timing, he had prepared more ships and the scale was bigger than what he had planned before.

In almost a day, the fleet conquered many surrounding islands effortlessly, turning them into his own territory.

There were people living on these islands, but from now on, they would be his subjects. Commoners, in general, had little choice; they followed whatever leader was above them.

The murlocs controlled by the empire had been handed over to him, but Du You still let those murlocs clash with the murlocs of the Kingdom of Hanhai to prevent them from coming over to his side. One of the cooperations with the empire was the research on the Murloc Potion.

The empire had some progress, enough to provide to him, of course. Du You also had to offer many other benefits in exchange. Du You left these specific matters to Shaliya.

Even though he had established a territory and founded a kingdom, Du You wouldn’t let these things tie him down. He knew what he wanted; the territory was just an aid, and what really needed to be improved was himself.

As the fleet slowly approached several large islands, Du You finally saw those who had come to stop him.

"Haha, it’s the armed forces of the Kingdom of Hanhai. Let’s go and take a look," Du You suddenly stood up, and without even asking Lin Yucha, he released the Platform Floating Cloud, and the three of them leaped onto it.

The few behind them were reaching out, wanting to say something, but the Platform Floating Cloud had already flown away.

"All right, don’t worry. Although our king is a king, he has always been a combatant. With the king’s strength, there’s hardly anyone in the Kingdom of Hanhai who can threaten him,"

The person beside him patted the attendant’s shoulder, and the attendants smiled wryly. Whose king would always be running onto the battlefield ? Du You was no longer just a lord, he was a ruler of a nation.

But what could they say? The king was too powerful, and nobody could control him.

As for the attendants who came from the territories themselves, they kept their gazes straight ahead. Whatever their lord did was normal to them, and they wouldn’t concern themselves with such things; they just had to do their job.

In the distance, an assault by ships began. This was no longer a dispute between a territory and a kingdom but a war between two kingdoms. Moreover, it was a war aimed at the complete annihilation of one kingdom. Although Du You didn’t say it, this war had a huge impact; many were watching this space with interest.

By the time Du You’s ships fought their way to the core region of the Kingdom of Hanhai, the people of the Kingdom of Hanhai could no longer sit still.

A large number of ships and murlocs mobilized, with various ship cannons already aimed from a great distance. But compared to their Gang Blade Cannons and heavy repeating crossbows, they were far inferior; Du You’s ships opened fire first.

A barrage of bolts and Gang Blade Cannons flew, and the foremost ships were destroyed instantly, directly blasted away.

"King of Shenghai, do you really want to exterminate us completely? This is an unjust war that the major empires will never allow," someone shouted.

Du You laughed loudly, "Hahaha, that’s funny. How many duchies did your Kingdom of Hanhai destroy to establish itself, and now you’re saying this to me. Let me tell you, I came here for revenge."

"Revenge? What do you mean? We do not believe we have offended you. The war started with you making the first move," they retaliated.

Unconcerned, Du You replied, "Know about Shaliya? Yes, Princess Shaliya. She’s mine now, and I came to avenge her."

On the way here, Shaliya’s original homeland had already been retaken. The families of Shaliya’s aides had also been sent back, only they hadn’t reached yet.

But even so, Du You no longer had any worries. Now that he had come out with it, what could they do?

Although the opposition did not know who Princess Shaliya was, there were no few that they had extinguished. Now that they had been countered, what could they say? With this reason, the war was justified.

While they spoke, both fleets had completely entered within the maximum firing range. Soon after, the people of the Kingdom of Hanhai saw what overwhelming firepower was. Apart from the murlocs, they had no way to get close.

With no choice left, the murlocs swallowed potions to forcibly enhance themselves after getting close. But what they hadn’t anticipated was that the enemy ships had many more fourth-tier fighters on board than reported in their intelligence, and even more than they had.

And there were Du You and the two sisters, continually attacking the vast sea, slaughtering the murlocs on a large scale. From the start, the battlefield became intensely heated, and it seemed the end wouldn’t be far off.
