Capítulo 62: Chapter Sixty-two: The Successful Counteroffensive, the Rebirth of the Interferer
"The three clans did not disappoint my guidance; they fought remarkably well!"
In the outside world, Wang Hui exhaled with satisfaction.
Witch Mag had been apprehended by the divine servant Huyan Wu, and the battle on the sea front was nearing its conclusion.
He could see the aluminum-hulled warships encircling the Storm Navy, as warriors from the three clans mercilessly slaughtered the defiant knights.
The sailors aboard were less obstinate, with many opting to kneel and surrender.
Wang Hui caught sight of Huyan Longzhuo, who was fuming as he paced the deck of the *Nicholas*, evidently enraged at failing to capture the enemy commander!
However, Wang Hui paid little heed to this; after all, this was the first time the three clans had initiated a counteroffensive against an external threat—achieving such a significant victory was no small feat, and perfection could not be expected!
Even if the elusive Nicholas Geiki possessed exceptional swimming skills, could he remain hidden beneath the waves forever, evading the grasp of the Storm Kingdom?
Moreover, he was accompanied by several ordinary knights and wizards, likely seeking refuge on a nearby isle, making it exceedingly difficult to escape the vigilant pursuit of the Gryphons.
It was only a matter of time before the three clans would locate and deal with them!
"What kind of response will the Storm Kingdom exhibit after losing two significant figures and a substantial naval force?"
Wang Hui could not help but feel a sense of anticipation.
This battle had granted him a general understanding of the prowess of the extraordinary beings in the Gulf World; thus far, no individuals had emerged to threaten Huyan Wu.
Yet, this was within the confines of single combat.
Should Nicholas Geiki ally with that witch, even if Huyan Wu triumphed, he would likely pay a hefty price in injuries…
This was precisely the concern!
The exact numbers of knights and wizards in the four great kingdoms remained unclear.
If these two factions could unite, the further expansion of the three clans would likely face significant obstacles!
Wang Hui felt compelled to descend again and strategize.
Prior to that, he habitually picked up his phone to browse information regarding the blind box.
The Xiaohei Book app yielded little of value, but there was new activity on Gatling TV…
"This brat has come back to life again? Even a sealed coffin couldn't keep him contained?"
Wang Hui frowned as he clicked into the new updates from Liang Xiaohai, where the number of comments had exceeded eighty thousand!
[Homage to the Gatling Bodhisattva: Login limit has ended! Gatling is back! Hahaha—]
The update included Liang Xiaohai's re-entry screen, which was not the cellar where Wang Hui had instructed Justin to confine the body, but a narrow alleyway in a residential area.
It retained the familiar medieval port city architectural style, likely still in the Reverse Wind Port!
However, Liang Xiaohai had learned his lesson this time; he did not venture outside, fearing to encounter thugs and being inexplicably killed.
It appeared he had taken temporary shelter with a fisherman, and subsequent images were all set indoors or in the small backyard.
Liang Xiaohai claimed he intended to settle for a while, learn the language of the "game world," and then venture out safely.
Among the images were several featuring the fisherman's daughter, which thrilled the online audience, who clamored to see more of her!
Liang Xiaohai played coy, occasionally sharing a picture, followed by links to promote the other streamers in his company, and then teasingly releasing another image.
In truth, the girl was hardly stunning; her years of working with sun-dried fish had left her skin less than fair, and small freckles were evident on either side of her nose.
Yet her genuine demeanor and infectious smile endeared her to viewers, who were tired of the artificial performances of internet celebrities, prompting them to encourage Liang Xiaohai to interact more with this "NPC"!
As a wealthy second-generation heir, Liang Xiaohai had conversed with countless girls, easily exceeding ten small-time stars.
Why would he regard a fisherman's daughter from a game with any significance?
But since this girl had become a magnet for attention, he was willing to put on a performance to capitalize on the popularity and further elevate Gatling TV!
Liang Xiaohai began to engage the fisherman's daughter more actively, helping with the fish drying while subtly finding angles for screenshots, amassing numerous pictures of her for future use.
"For the sake of viewership, he truly spares no effort."
Wang Hui scoffed.
He was disinterested in such antics and needed to prioritize locating Liang Xiaohai and controlling him!
For a modern individual to be thrust into a relatively primitive civilization endowed with extraordinary abilities was akin to tossing a thirty-year-old bachelor into a kingdom of daughters...
No one could predict the chaos this fellow might incite!
Uncertainties must be quelled in their infancy!
Wang Hui noted the details of the scenery in Liang Xiaohai's screenshots and carefully remembered the appearance of the fisherman's daughter before descending into the Gulf World.
Buzz—
Defying the repelling forces of the rules, Wang Hui forcibly adjusted his landing spot, arriving at a street corner on the northern side of the port.
He glanced back at the warehouse where he had previously descended twice, observing that the overseer had added numerous personnel for patrols, occasionally glancing upwards anxiously, perhaps fearing another object might breach the ceiling…
"Even if you invite me, I have no desire to relive the experience of being stuffed into a seafood crate."
Wang Hui shrugged, pocketing his hands as he made his way toward Lilya's dwelling.
It had been approximately four to five hours since the Storm Navy had departed, and many people in the streets were still engaged in idle chatter, speculating on the navy's intended destination.
They would never guess that the Storm Kingdom's proud naval fleet had already been annihilated by an external civilization…
Wang Hui stealthily approached Lilya's door, where he encountered the burly figure of Maris keeping watch.
Upon seeing him, Maris immediately suppressed his feigned ferocity, breaking into a hearty smile and leaning forward with a bow: "Mas—Master…"
Having stammered for a moment, Maris felt that addressing him as "Master" was inappropriate, ultimately forcing out:
"…You have arrived, my lord!"
"Yes."
Wang Hui chuckled resignedly, choosing not to dwell on the clumsy man's address, giving his shoulder a pat before stepping inside.
Justin was busily studying a map when he looked up and exclaimed joyfully, "Master, you've returned safely! Did you encounter the Storm Knight?"
"One might say I have."
Wang Hui refrained from mentioning that he had viewed the encounter from a divine perspective and instead inquired, "Accompanying Nicholas Geiki and the seventh prince was a middle-aged witch—a formidable one. Who is she?"
"The second-ranking witch of the Storm Kingdom, Mag!"
Justin picked up a crumpled note from the table, apologetically stating, "Master, I only recently received word of her participation and failed to inform you in a timely manner..."
"It's alright; the outcome is the same."
Wang Hui did not pursue the subject further and turned to head toward the cellar where Liang Xiaohai's body had been secured.
The outcome is the same?
Justin was left in confusion; did Master mean that he had killed both the Storm Knight and the second-ranking witch? Surely not...
