Chapter 807: No need to refer to oneself as an official.
Kante picked up the shield and waved it in his hand, feeling how light it was!
The Saronite wasn't as heavy as ordinary steel. It actually felt quite lightweight when held in the hand. Moreover, after Robb gave it a rub, it no longer had that unpleasant "sinister" feeling.
Kante couldn't help but say, "What kind of strange metal is this? It feels like something fragile with weak defense."
From a warrior's perspective, equipment that is too lightweight can indeed give a sense of fragility and unreliability, so it's not surprising for Kante to feel that way.
Robb smiled and said, "Feeling light doesn't mean it's fragile. Captain Americas shield is also very light, but that thing is incredibly hard and defies the laws of physics. Anyway, you'll know when you try it in the next battle."
Just as they were discussing this, the two Maya chiefs who had recently left the mine turned back and ran towards them, shouting as they ran, "Ships! They are coming again!"
"Hmm?"
The sentry on the northeast watchtower also shouted loudly, "Ships approaching the shore! They're ships from the Kingdom of Gran! Haha, that's great! It's a fleet from the Kingdom of Gran, with five large warships and many transport ships."
After the translation of the sentry's words, the Maya people breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought that the three Norma ships had returned, but it turned out to be ships from their good friends, the Kingdom of Gran. They felt much relieved.
Robb laughed and said, "It looks like queens fleet has arrived. Now we can occupy the harbor left by those Norma people. Let's all go and take a look."
The group left the mine and headed towards the harbor together. The distance wasn't too far or too close. When they arrived at the harbor, five warships and several transport ships were already docked at the shore. Long planks were lowered from the ships, and a group of heavily armed Gran soldiers descended from the ships, maintaining a tight guard around them.
It wasn't until they saw Robb and his group that they relaxed, letting their guard down. Laughter erupted from the ship, and the sailors began pushing various supplies off the planks.
Robb noticed that this batch of supplies mainly consisted of white sugar intended to serve as "wages" for the Maya people, as well as various mining equipment. There were large crates of railroad tracks and pulley systems, clearly meant for constructing the rail system.
A group of carpenters came down from the ship and immediately started examining the nearby trees to see if they were suitable for cutting down as sleepers...
The tools they brought out and their well-coordinated movements left the Maya people following behind Robb in awe. They had now realized that there were indeed many things they could learn from these Gran people.
A naval officer appeared on the ship's deck and saluted Robb, saying, "Godfather, hello! I am the captain of the Royal Navy's First Fleet of the Kingdom of Gran. I have been entrusted by Her Majesty the Queen to escort a batch of supplies to the Maya Continent. I will be in charge of port security and nearby sea patrols."
Robb waved his hand with a smile and said, "I'm just a commoner. Why report to me?"
The captain nodded and said, "Understood! I will comply, Godfather."
Robb: "..."
Elsie whispered beside him, "These people desperately want to be recognized as subordinates of Godfather. They really have no shame, even though they are clearly the Queen's people."
Kante also chuckled softly and said, "It's alright, it's just a matter of time before we're all one family."
In Elsies mind, he thought, "Although that's true, the question of who will be the chief subordinate after becoming one family is a serious issue. Fortunately, an captain of the navy can't compete with me for position. He can only play on the sea, while I can follow on land, in the sea, and even in the sky."
While Elsie was contemplating various matters, suddenly, the lookout on the ship shouted loudly, "Be careful! Six Norma ships, six warships!"
His shout surprised everyone in the harbor. The people on the transport ships were startled and quickly jumped off the ships, hiding behind rocks or large trees on the shore. After all, these people were non-combatants, and the ships were only transport vessels.
The five Gran warships quickly raised anchor.
The naval admiral who had introduced himself as an official to Robb couldn't help but wonder, "How did the Norma Pigs arrive so quickly? Could they be tracking us?"
"It's unlikely. They just attacked here earlier but were driven away, so they probably went to gather more people," said one of queens remaining soldiers as he jumped onto the ship. "I'm here to help you too."
The Westwind City people, on Robb's side, remained motionless.
They still distinguished themselves from the Queen's subordinates. As long as Robb didn't give the order, the Westwind City warriors wouldn't go and fight for the Queen on their own. However, there was one exception, and that was Kante.
Although Kante was from Westwind City, he also held a position in the Kingdom of Gran's Wind knights. In this situation, he had to offer assistance. Carrying the Saronite shield that Robb had given him, Kante ran to the shore and quickly boarded the ship using the wooden plank that had been lowered.
Without waiting for the captain to ask him, Kante introduced himself, "Affiliated with the Wind knights, a wind magic knight, Kante Chengguang, here to assist you in battle."
The captain glanced at him and thought, [Kante Chengguang? Isn't he the famous idiot of the Wind knights? It is said that his Whirlwind technique involves kicking enemies around in circles! Even the navy has heard of this idiot's exploits.]
Thinking this, he immediately regarded Kante as an insignificant speck and ignored him completely.
However, the captain didn't know one thing[ "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news spreads a thousand miles.]
While Kante's antics had spread far and wide, his later display of magic during the Battle at the Capital of Saints did not, because people were accustomed to sharing amusing incidents, not serious ones. Who would bother spreading news that wasn't entertaining?
The five warships left the shore and headed towards the six warships of the Kingdom of Norma.
Five against six!
The outcome was uncertain.
The Norma sailors on the six ships were currently filled with anger. They had just brought three ships earlier but were humiliated and driven away by the Maya people. So this time, they came with six ships, bringing a large army of over a thousand people, determined to teach the Maya natives a lesson. However, they didn't expect to encounter the Gran fleet here.
Neither side bothered to exchange words and immediately engaged in battle!
With a booming cannon shot, the Norma ships fired their cannons first. They had come specifically for warfare, unlike the Kingdom of Gran's ships that were hastily responding. As a result, their combat preparations were more thorough, and their cannonballs aggressively headed towards the Gran warships.
