Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 650 - 327: Indomitable Faith, Marching Toward the Summit (Part 2)
Previously on Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls...
At that moment, Zhao Chenlin and the others would be able to leave safely with Fang Yu.
A collective sense of relief washed over everyone, and Chen Xiaolin, standing beside Fang Yu, broke into a smile.
With an air of confidence, he addressed Fang Yu: "Captain Fang Yu, rest assured, the Secret Treasure has been activated, and the Ocean Court’s army will be here shortly."
"Once they arrive, acting under the banner of justice, Sovereign Lanyun will be completely powerless against us."
A spark of courage and unwavering resolve flickered in Chen Xiaolin's eyes, and his heart held an almost unquestioning faith and admiration for the Ocean Court.
He possessed a peculiar quality, remarkably similar to Zhao Chenlin and the other Law Enforcers of the Ocean Court.
This quality seemed to stem from a deep-seated conviction.
A conviction that the individual's name was secondary to the maintenance of order and justice.
Witnessing the identical expressions of resolve and righteousness reflected in the eyes of Chen Xiaolin, Zhao Chenlin, and the others, Fang Yu felt a subtle tremor in his heart.
The conviction of a single person is not a cause for alarm.
However, when thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions share it, uniting as one force, they become an unstoppable tide, capable of overcoming any obstacle.
The glory of this era, its resplendent achievements.
The glory of this era, forged by unwavering belief, is infinitely more potent and enduring than that built by ordinary citizens.
Under the brilliant illumination of this era's glory, it is no wonder the Ocean Court stands unconquerable.
Observing this scene, Fang Yu experienced a fleeting sense of comfort.
But soon, a slight frown creased his brow, a disquieting premonition stirring within him.
"Something feels amiss..."
Fang Yu's realization struck him like lightning, and he turned his gaze towards the lofty Sovereign Lanyun.
It was then that he pinpointed the source of his growing unease.
It emanated from Sovereign Lanyun and her formidable masters!
For from the preceding moments until now, Sovereign Lanyun had remained a picture of calm observation. Her gaze, that distant look, was akin to a deity surveying the futile struggles of insignificant ants.
Not a flicker of emotion betrayed her, her demeanor tranquil to a suffocating degree.
She... harbored no concern regarding the impending arrival of the Ocean Court's forces?
She had even intentionally delayed her actions, granting them ample opportunity to summon the Ocean Court's army.
It was like a predator toying with its prey, an act of supreme arrogance.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Yu's quiet utterance drew Zhao Chenlin's attention.
Zhao Chenlin regarded Fang Yu with a look of bewilderment, but suddenly, his pupils contracted violently.
For... through the Secret Treasure clutched in his hand, Zhao Chenlin could not detect any trace of the Ocean Court's army?!
How could this be possible?!
He should have been able to perceive everything occurring externally with absolute clarity via the Secret Treasure.
This indicated that the Secret Treasure was neither sealed nor damaged; it was functioning perfectly as intended.
Yet... he was utterly unable to sense the Ocean Court's army?
The southern strait... nothing!
A westward sweep... still nothing!
Nothing... nothing... absolutely nothing!
The entire expanse of the sea, apart from the Blue Star Captain and the Lanyun Sea Country's garrisoned troops, was starkly empty. Not a single vessel from the Ocean Court could be detected.
How could this be?!
Zhao Chenlin was inwardly aghast, his limbs turning deathly cold.
The capabilities and perceptive power of the Secret Treasure were beyond question.
Furthermore, he had unwavering faith that his comrades within the Ocean Court would not disregard the summons or choose to remain hidden.
They were expected to have arrived without delay.
But now...
There were no Ocean Court forces present within the Lanyun Sea Country?!
How was this conceivable?!
What in the world had transpired?
Utter bewilderment consumed Zhao Chenlin; he was completely at a loss to comprehend how the army could have vanished without a trace.
He recalled having already submitted a request for orders from his superiors and receiving confirmation that the military forces were indeed entering Lanyun territory.
Consequently, Zhao Chenlin had been supremely confident in ensuring Fang Yu received fair treatment.
But now...
"Isn't this rather peculiar..."
At this juncture, peals of laughter echoed from a distance. A peculiar twin-headed entity soared through the air, suspended in the void. It gazed upon Zhao Chenlin's bewildered and perplexed expression, a discernible gleam of amusement in its eyes.
This bizarre twin-headed being was Chongyuan, a member of the esteemed Peacekeeping Council.
However, at this precise moment, Chongyuan had already aligned himself with Sovereign Lanyun, the two parties having forged a pact of cooperation.
Observing Zhao Chenlin and the Ocean Court's Judges before him, Chongyuan felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction as he witnessed the confusion and bafflement etched upon their faces.
As an individual affiliated with the Peacekeeping Council, Chongyuan had consistently harbored a profound sense of dread and apprehension towards the Ocean Court.
The mere mention of the Ocean Court used to send him recoiling, much like a mouse encountering a cat, compelling him to avoid any association.
But now, beholding the law enforcers of the very Ocean Court he once feared exhibiting such signs of puzzled consternation brought him immense solace.
He recalled the words Sovereign Lanyun had imparted to him previously.
"The Ocean Court’s forces will not arrive."
"Do not harbor the fear of the Ocean Court in your heart; it is merely a paper tiger."
With this thought, Chongyuan let out a hearty laugh. He looked at Zhao Chenlin, the robust man with a square face, and spoke loudly:
"Let me tell you, the Ocean Court’s army never set foot into Lanyun Sea Country’s borders from start to finish."
"Apart from the Judges surrounding you, not a single law enforcer from the Ocean Court was aware that you ran into trouble in Lanyun Sea Country!"
Chongyuan, the sinister middle-aged man, sneered ominously, his gaze coiling around everyone like a viper.
