Book 4: Chapter 199: The Naval Battle Between The Fleets That Met By Chance
On that side of the horizon, another large fleet was approaching Bella’s own mysterious fleet. Bella took out a simple monocular telescope. Through the telescope, Bella could see the general state of the distant fleet.
This fleet wasn’t a human or demon fleet. Bella’s first naval battle had happened when the human imperial fleet besieged the demon fleet and planned to go against Demon Princess Dolores. At the time, Bella had seen human and demon warships.
Human and demon warships were similar to medieval wooden sailing ships. The two were similar in style, but the demons liked to paint their warships black. Their main weapons were bows and arrows and a small number of flagship warships were equipped with special magic cannons.
Gunpowder hadn’t yet been invented in this other world, perhaps because the Alchemists were a letdown. Without gunpowder, warships were basically just platforms for transportation.
Mages generally didn’t go out with warships because their costs were too high. Keeping an advanced level mage was equivalent to the cost of a whole ship of sailors. The human and demon fleets were generally equipped with many soldiers and archers, and if funds were sufficient, they would allocate some knights to keep command.
The fleet that appeared in front of Bella’s mysterious fleet wasn’t made out of wooden ships, but a “turtle shell ship” made of strange materials. The entire deck was covered with a thick black wooden cover, which looked like a turtle shell.
Because the deck was covered with special boards, Bella couldn’t see the crew of the ship, so it was difficult to judge which race had sent out the fleet. Although a special flag had been hung on the deck of the mysterious fleet, Bella didn’t recognize the strange pattern on the flag.
“Honorable Demon King, a strange fleet has been seen in the distance. They seem to be from the Oceanic Race. Their intentions are unknown. I suggest attacking them directly!”
“I agree with the big whale. Honorable Lord, it’s better to attack them immediately! I feel that these ships are equipped with similar equipment to the humans’ magic cannon!”
“You damn sea dragon. What did you call me? Do you believe me if I say I’ll give you a beating later? You didn’t even thank me for being your take-off platform and now you’ve given me a nickname! How many times have I told you? I am a whale dragon, not a whale!”
The Leviathan King and the Haydn Wyvern King came out to discuss with Bella about countermeasures. The Leviathan King’s form was a loli with two extremely long, black ponytails. This loli had a baby face but huge breasts. Her skin was extremely soft and a pair of inky blue eyes. She even had a pair of delicate dragon horns on her head.
The Haydn Wyvern King’s form was also a loli but the difference between her and the Leviathan King was her normal breast size. She wasn’t a baby face with huge breasts. Her ocean blue hair reached her waist, her blue eyes filled resentment as she glared at the Leviathan King’s full chest. It was clear that this was the deep resentment a small-chested girl had towards big breasts.
In fact, the Hadyn Wyvern King’s breasts weren’t small. They were a normal size and only appeared small when compared with the Leviathan King’s huge breasts. There was a black horn on top of the Haydn Wyvern King’s head. This was one of the symbols of a Haydn Wyvern. The darker the horn was, the stronger the Haydn Wyvern.
When they appeared, the Leviathan King and Haydn Wyvern King’s original bodies didn’t disappear either. They were still following their original trajectory. Their humanoid form and real body could coexist and appear at the same time, similar to the artificial AIs in the animes from Bella’s previous world. When they appeared, their original bodies were still running freely.
Bella looked at the two lolis who were asking about countermeasures and kneeling before her. She fought back the wicked ideas in her head and pretended to be normal. What made Bella restless was the fact that the two lolis weren’t wearing normal clothes, but only a few black dragon scales that covered their “vital parts”.
This sort of “dragon scale lingerie” was even more outrageous than the beautiful girls wearing bikinis in the swimming pool behind Bella. On top of that, the Leviathan King and Haydn Wyvern King were also lolis. This was simply an attempt to lure all kinds of loli-loving “gentlemen” and “ladies” into committing sinful crimes.
The Leviathan King and Haydn Wyvern King were metal demons, designed by the Creator of Darkness Mystica. They had been strengthened and modified by the Mechanical Creator Andrea. In terms of strength, they were comparable to the average Abyss Demonic King.
However, their main role was defined as providing assistance to combat units at the time of design. Unless they were fighting at sea, they couldn’t defeat the Abyss Demonic King in a one-on-one battle. They definitely couldn’t defeat the Abyss Demonic Kings under Bella, especially the Disaster of The Seas Krakent, who could crush them even at sea.
“We’ll do as you say then. By the way, inform Krakent and Abigail. Ask them to get to work. This fleet isn’t our target, our target is Ocean Demon King Victoria’s Black Fleet. We must defeat them in one go!”
“This subordinate understands. Honorable Demon King, I implore you to move to the back of the Dragon Turtle King with the others first. When we go to battle later, my men and I will take off and land from this platform. I fear we might disturb your fun.”
“I request the same as well. When the battle starts later, this area will be very busy. We’ll have to temporarily put away the pool. The Dragon Turtle King is already close behind me.”
The Leviathan King and Haydn Wyvern King sincerely requested Bella to temporarily leave the commander’s flagship with Cynthia and proceed to the Dragon Turtle King, who was on a supply mission. In their opinion, Bella and Cynthia and the others obviously hadn’t come to fight since they were dressed so leisurely.
Bella couldn’t ridicule them in the face of such sincere eyes. Although she looked as if she were on a holiday at sea, she was still very serious when it was time to fight. Never mind, if her subordinates wanted to handle the situation, Bella didn’t mind giving them the chance to prove themselves.
On the sea, an “island” floated by beside the Leviathan King. The total length of this mobile island was about one thousand six hundred meters, which was larger than the Leviathan King. This was the Dragon Turtle King.
The deep-sea dragon turtle, otherwise known as “turtle island”, was, as its name implied, a giant dragon turtle-shaped deep-sea demon that had vegetation growing on its back. With the disguise of these trees, the “turtle island” looked like a moving oval shaped island from a distance. Many of these “ghost islands” in the legends of the deep sea in this other world were actually these “turtle islands.”
Originally, the length of the “turtle island” was about a hundred meters at most. These special turtle islands were mutations developed by Creation Gods Andrea and Mystica.
Among Bella’s mysterious fleet, the number of turtle islands was the same as the Leviathan Beasts. They had a huge carrying capacity and were perfect as “supply ships.” The average dragon turtle was close to the size of the average Leviathan Beast, while the Dragon Turtle King was much longer in length than the Leviathan King.
“Bella, can you handle these demons?! I think there’s still a gap between them and your status as Demon King. Are you really just a Demon King? “
“Cynthia, stop guessing. I just want to be an ordinary Demon King. Don’t you misjudge me! I’m really just a Demon King. Besides, why can’t I handle such cute lolis like the Leviathan and Haydn?”
Holy Swordsman Cynthia looked at Bella with cautious eyes. Was this beautiful blonde girl with a smiling expression really just a Demon King? In her heart, there was already a big question mark.
Swordsman Cynthia felt unsure. She felt as if they could easily kill the elites of the Dragon Race. Although they weren’t Holy Beasts, they already had the strength to surpass them.
What horrified Cynthia even more were the two Abyss Demon Kings lurking behind Bella’s mysterious fleet. The Disaster of The Seas Krakent was a giant demonic octopus of nearly a thousand meters in length. Krakent was now in its original form, similar to the giant squid in the deep Antarctic Ocean on earth, nicknamed the “Overlord Squid.” It hadn’t fully extended its tentacles yet.
Krakent’s tentacles were at least ten times as long as it’s body. When fully extended, they could cover almost the entire underwater area of the mysterious fleet. This was a truly horrible “sea demon.” The destruction of the fleet was a cinch.
Cooperating with Krakent was another sea type Abyss Demon King, Abigail, nicknamed the “Ocean Scavenger.” Abigail was a newly emerged Abyss Demon King and could be regarded as Krakent’s old friend. After hearing that Krakent had found a good Demon King and became her follower, Abigail accepted her old friend’s “persuasion” and came to this other world to be Bella’s “super laborer.”
Abigail’s original form was a deep-sea fish monster that was about a hundred meters long. The scales on this fish monster were black, its eyes were deep red, and it had horrible teeth. From her appearance alone, she seemed to play a small role amongst all the sea demons, but to assume that would be making a huge mistake.
Abigail’s ability was to devour all sea monsters. She could continuously split into many new bodies, evolving and growing. On top of that, these bodies liked to use the shoal tactics employed by piranhas. When fighting in the deep sea, they played an equal role with the giant octopus-type Deep Sea Demon King Krakent.
The average deep-sea demon would take a detour upon seeing them. Originally, there was another sea-type Abyss Demon King, “Nightmare of The Deep Sea” Sally, who had also wanted to take refuge in Bella. Krakent had also persuaded her. However, when she saw Abigail on her way here, she had been scared away and said she would consider it in the future.
At the time, Bella was at such a loss. Although Sally’s original body was a giant deep-sea shark, she was the second Abyss Demon King besides Succubus Queen Aisha who could transform into a beautiful girl. Sally’s human form was an absolute beauty.
However, she was scared away by Abigail, an ugly fish monster who couldn’t even transform into a human. What a painful loss! If she could choose such a beautiful Demon King, Bella would definitely choose Sally. When the opportunity arose, Bella planned to invite Sally to her Darkness Sacred Region “conglomerate” again for an “interview” and directly admit her to “work” after the interview.
Bella couldn’t refuse an Abyss Demon King’s “job resume” just because she looked ugly. There has never been a Demon God who had “fired” her in the history of the World Destructor’s Camp and Bella was unwilling to be the first one to make such a mistake.
Although Holy Swordsman Cynthia was merely an ordinary human beauty, she could conclude from her accomplishments and intuition that if Bella was only a Demon King, there was no way she could control the two Abyss Demon Kings of Krakent and Abigail.
Cynthia had never seen an Abyss Demon King before, but Krakent and Abigail alone could destroy a large area of the sea. They had the same power as a Demon King, even greatly exceeding the destructive powers of a Demon King. There was no reason for them to obey Bella, who only had the strength of a Demon King.
It was just like Mystica and Andrea whom she had met before; they too had claimed to be Demon Kings when they introduced their identities to Cynthia. Lately, these people who claimed to be Demon Kings had more strength than one. The title of Demon King was clearly too humble.
“Bella, I hope… No, I beg you not to make it difficult for the Radiant Church in the future. I think you have the ability to subvert….”
“Can we not discuss such a serious topic first? We’re here on vacation… No, we’re here to fight. As long as you and President Maria and the others are on my side, it’s nothing!”
Bella evaded the sensitive topic that Holy Swordsman Cynthia had brought up. Her conflict with the Radiant Church was only a matter of time. She had “desecrated” the Pope’s heir, the four Holy Maidens and the Holy Swordsman of the Radiant Church. Bella didn’t believe that the Radiant Pope would calmly say something like, “Of course I choose to forgive her!”
Bella used a transfer artifact and took Cynthia and the beautiful girls in the swimming pool to the Dragon Turtle King beside the Leviathan King. They would continue their party in the green forest.
The human form of the Dragon Turtle King was also a beautiful loli. This beauty with short emerald hair looked very shy and wore “turtle shell underwear” that covered her body. She was a real flat-chested loli. Even the Haydn Wyvern King could find her long lost dignity beside her.
The designers who had created their humanoid forms, Mechanical Creator Andrea and Creator of Darkness Mystica, had probably used their own bodies as reference when designing these “monster girls,” and made them into the appearance of a loli.
The Dragon Turtle King had a completely flat chest, almost causing a nosebleed in Bella. The Dragon Turtle King was clearly flat-chested but she still pretended as if she had breasts. The Dragon Turtle King covered her chest with her hands, her expression was one of shyness and nervousness. It seemed that she wanted to cover up her “nonexistent fullness.”
“Demon… God, no, Creator… No, Honorable Demon King, my… my island is ready. Welcome.”
“Speak slowly! I’m not that scary, am I? It’s not like I’m a meanie who bullies girls. Lead the way!”
The Dragon Turtle King had a soft voice and she seemed a little talkative. Her voice was very attractive. A loli who could be easily “taken” was the best. Cynthia rolled her eyes at Bella. This female Demon King was getting more and more skilled in deceiving lolis.
It would be strange if Bella didn’t bully girls. Cynthia didn’t believe that those beauties behind her hadn’t been captured with “special methods.” She had personally experienced it and allowed Bella to bully her, falling into corruption. She just didn’t publicly announce her betrayal of the Radiant Church.
The others might not know, but President Caroline was a proud president from one of the twelve elite academies of the Human Race. She was now so obedient that Cynthia suspected she was an imposter. What Bella had done to her was certainly questionable!
“Cynthia, what’s that look? What I said is true. I used to want to be a good person, but I wasn’t given a choice, so you should understand!”
The other mysterious fleet approaching from the horizon also found Bella’s fleet. Instead of slowing down, they sped up and began to steer in a downwind direction.
This was a declaration of war. There was no doubt that in all the naval battles throughout the history of sailing, artillery battles between ships on the sea focused on occupying a strong downwind position. This position could give them an advantage when both sides were firing cannons at each other.
Their ships were equipped with magic-guided cannons similar to normal cannons. Now, they intended to seize the strong position in the “Crossing The T” warfare tactic and launch artillery attacks on Bella’s fleet, which was in a weak position. Their starting tactic was right, but unfortunately, Bella’s mysterious fleet wasn’t relying on cannons. From the very beginning, the problem of seizing battle positions had never existed.
