Chapter 2646
Leander was sent flying, and for a heartbeat, everyone in the yard stood in stunned silence.Weapons slipped from soldiers' hands and clattered to the ground, and their eyes widened in terror. Many instinctively stepped back and bumped against the wooden fence, but no one dared look down.Nathaniel's sword gave a sharp, buzzing tremor. He tightened his grip on the hilt, holding it so hard that the red marks of his fingertips were left on the scabbard.The child's earlier punch had been nothing but a blur. The small, chubby fist seemed harmless, yet when it struck Leander's chest, it landed like a meteor.Nathaniel saw Leander's black armor cave in. He heard the sharp crack of ribs breaking, the grinding of bone scraping against bone."Captain Grimsby…" A guard trembled as he tried to step forward and help Leander, but he froze after only two steps.Leander, curled up beneath the fence, choked as black blood bubbled from his throat. Each breath was more ragged than the last, and

Nathaniel's expression turned grim. He didn't dare linger and quickly led his men to safer ground. Only after they'd gotten far away from that strange area did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.It was a perfect example of how a single spark can start a wildfire. One soldier's touch on a flower had triggered a violent chain reaction, and the consequences were terrifying.Now Nathaniel and his men finally understood that this seemingly dazzling, beautiful landscape was actually full of deadly traps."Take a moment to rest, but stay alert," he ordered, leaning on his sword as he gasped for breath. Sweat seeped into the wound on his back, and the pain was so intense that he was on the verge of passing out. He signaled two of his personal guards to keep watch while he rested against a tree trunk. In just a few minutes, he had lost over a dozen skilled soldiers. The weight of their deaths pressed heavily on him.The medical team worked quickly to bandage the wounded. As soon

Nathaniel stood at the edge of the ship, staring at the paradise-like island before him. He found himself holding his breath.Sunlight filtered through the towering, ancient trees, scattering dappled patches of light across the mossy ground. The air was filled with an exotic floral fragrance, sweet as honey yet tinged with a subtle freshness.Behind him, the soldiers could barely contain their excitement. They set down their weapons and reached out to touch the hanging vines. Crystalline fruits hung like clusters of amethyst and shimmered in the sunlight with an enchanting radiance."Your Highness, look at that tree," one of his guards exclaimed, pointing at a giant tree not far away.Its trunk was covered in spiral patterns that looked like natural stairways. Glowing mushrooms grew inside its hollow, which illuminated the surroundings like daylight. Several winged squirrels leaped from the treetop, and their wings stirred up tiny glowing particles. When the specks landed on the

Nathaniel's eyes widened, his expression caught between shock and despair. His hands instinctively clenched tighter. As the ship was dragged into the whirlpool. Darkness swallowed everything, and the only sound left was the roar of rushing water.The world spun around him, and his whole body felt like it was being torn in two. He squeezed his eyes shut and clenched his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging.Nathaniel had no idea how much time had passed. Suddenly, his body felt lighter, and the ship seemed to settle somewhere. His eyes opened slowly, confusion lingering for a moment before doubt crossed his face.They were no longer surrounded by the pitch-black sea. Everything around them was bathed in light.Startled, he pushed himself to his feet. His legs were still wobbling as he made his way to the rail. He looked out, and the sight before him left him frozen in astonishment.Nathaniel's jaw dropped, and his eyes widened. The shock on his face gave way to disbelief, and
Chapter 2642
Nathaniel's fleet was caught in the deadly stretch of sea and was tossed by raging waves. Gigantic swells slammed onto the deck one after another, and each impact was deafening. The ship rocked violently, threatening to come apart. Every groan of the wooden deck echoed the impending destruction.A soldier was swept into the air by a giant wave. He flailed his arms in despair, but the wind swallowed his scream. He plunged into the sea and was swallowed by the whirlpool without much of a splash.Nathaniel gripped the railing with all his strength. His knuckles turned white, his nails digging deep into the wood.His bloodshot eyes stayed fixed on the chaos. Seawater mixed with sweat slid down his face and traced the hard line of his jaw."Quick, tie down the ropes," he shouted, his voice raw.A young soldier nearby fumbled for the rope with trembling hands. Fear was written across his face, his lips quivering as he stammered, "Your Highness, I… I can't hold it."No sooner had he s

Neville said, "Don't worry about me. Everyone, attack. We must kill this beast."Blood still seeped from the wound on his back as he leaned against the broken rail, but he wasn't even bothered by it. He ordered his men to keep hammering the Brineclaw until they were certain it was dead.After relentless attacks from all his forces, the Brineclaw finally stopped moving and showed no signs of life.Neville let out a long breath before collapsing to the deck, gasping heavily. That monster had been one hell of a fight, but fortunately, Matthias had brought plenty of martial experts on this voyage. Otherwise, they never could have finished it off.Once the waves finally calmed, Matthias hurried over with a squad of personal guards."Neville, I heard you were hurt. How bad is it?" he asked."Don't worry, Your Highness. This is nothing. I'm not going to die from a scratch." Neville flashed a grin, revealing blood-stained teeth. "Back in my battlefield days, I've taken wounds way worse
