Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 633 - 320: The Hidden One Revealed (Part 3)

A multitude of Blue Star Captains, particularly those holding Warship Level authority or higher, upon receiving the news, journeyed without hesitation from various Sea Countries, converging on the location.

Among the arrivals were even captains with blonde hair and blue eyes, hailing from Western nations.

Consequently, the southern region of the Lanyun Sea Country became densely populated by the converged and somewhat disorderly presence of Blue Star Captains.

...

Following the establishment of the Southern Expedition Army, the congress took swift action, secretly executing numerous high-ranking officers belonging to the Southern military faction. This move consolidated power within the Southern faction into the congress's hands.

As for the Northern faction, it maintained a conspicuous silence throughout these developments, offering no observable reaction as if oblivious to the congress's recent maneuvers.

An unusual atmosphere began to permeate the entirety of the Lanyun Sea Country.

A significant portion of the citizenry harbored the belief that the Sin Domain incident was a deliberate act orchestrated by the Duorong Federation. They suspected that the mages involved were secretly dispatched by the Duorong Federation to sow widespread devastation within the Lanyun Sea Country.

Furthermore, sporadic skirmishes along the border separating the Duorong Federation and the Lanyun Sea Country were selectively amplified and subtly disseminated by individuals with hidden agendas.

This carefully managed release of information acted as a catalyst, causing public resentment to steadily build.

...

At this precise moment, within the congress hall, the Sovereign occupied the highest seat. Beams of light, originating from all corners of the Lanyun Sea Country, flowed inward, converging upon the Sovereign's form.

The Sovereign's power had evidently increased, becoming even more formidable.

Nevertheless, the Sovereign remained silent, eyes gently closed as if in a state of repose.

After a brief interval, the substantial doors of the hall were pushed open, and two figures were escorted in from beyond.

Both individuals were clad in the distinctive military uniforms of the Lanyun Sea Country, exuding an aura of authority and standing with impeccable posture.

One of them, of a lanky build and not particularly tall, possessed a countenance etched with coldness and a palpable sense of vindictiveness. He was a middle-aged man, his presence carrying a distinctly sinister undertone.

The other, distinguished by a rugged face and a robust physique, presented a heroic appearance with his square jawline and determined expression.

Had Fang Yu been present at this juncture, he would undoubtedly have recognized these two individuals from past encounters.

The slender middle-aged man was a prominent official within the Southern military faction. Previously, when Fang Yu was brought forth, this man had vocally chastised his own red-faced subordinate officer.

The square-faced man, though he had remained silent, had left an indelible impression on Fang Yu.

This was due to his position within the Northern military faction, where he commanded the respect of numerous officers and appeared to be the most influential figure of that faction.

These two were figures of considerable standing, capable of swaying the overall trajectory of the Lanyun Sea Country, and held positions as high-ranking leaders within their respective factions.

In a certain regard, a unified front between these two could wield an influence within the Lanyun Sea Country that rivaled even that of the Sovereign.

However... what purpose did the Sovereign have in summoning these two to the hall at this particular time?

"Sovereign!"

The two exchanged a brief glance before speaking in subdued tones, their voices devoid of overt emotion.

Their expressions conveyed a sense of unease.

This was a direct consequence of the congress's recent actions, which had been executed with extreme rapidity and force, completely catching them off guard. It appeared as though the Sovereign had been meticulously orchestrating these events for an extended period, only now choosing to directly confront the Southern and Northern factions.

"The two of you..."

The Sovereign, seated majestically above, had his entire visage obscured by a gentle halo of light. This obscured feature made it impossible to discern the Sovereign's true thoughts or emotions.

After a moment's pause, a subtle smile graced the Sovereign's lips, and a soft voice emerged:

"Or perhaps... one of you?"

"You both are likely incarnations birthed from a single individual utilizing an Incarnation Skill, correct?"

"It is truly peculiar; your soul fluctuations and auras are entirely distinct. You both managed to deceive me in prior years..."

"Should I address you both as generals, or..."

"Chongyuan of the Peacekeeping Council?"

The Sovereign's voice resonated slowly, imbued with an exceedingly gentle cadence.

Yet, within the confines of the hall, a chilling, unyielding light began to emanate...
