Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 267 The Empty Throne

Stepping out from the corner, the port was filled with workers busily moving boxes of supplies.

A rune transport vehicle, not yet fully loaded with supply crates, was stopped in the port area.

As Su Wangli got closer, he immediately discovered the place he had not noticed when he was at a higher position.

These transport ships docked at the port did not belong to the Twin Fish Pier, but instead bore different pier emblems.

"Transport ships from other docks?"

Su Wang's eyes flickered with contemplation, and he began to have more guesses.

Judging from the sea surface observed from high altitude just now,

If these numerous transport ships come from various ports, the number of ports affected could reach hundreds per day.

The amount of resources gathered every day is also enormous.

"Not only did they recall the resources from the Merchant Alliance docks, but they also took the resources from the nearby lords?"

Su Wang curled his lips into a disdainful sneer.

It seems that His Majesty the Pisces King has begun to fear. Gathering so many resources to build warships is nothing more than a way to resist the Cleansing Alliance.

Although Su Wang didn't think much of these extraordinary warships, he couldn't let the Pisces King waste these resources.

Su Wang then walked towards a corner, and as he crossed the corner, his figure disappeared again.

When it reappeared, it had already traveled to the palace of the Pisces King.

At this moment, Su Wang, now one with the ship, activated the stealth ability of the Lost Heart and leisurely made his way through the palace.

The palace guards patrolling inside the palace walked past Su Wang without any reaction.

Based on his memory from his last visit, Su Wang decided to first go to the main hall of the royal palace.

This time, he's determined to get rid of the Pisces King, this "little troublemaker."
The death of the Pisces King will certainly cause some unrest among the high-ranking officials in the capital until a new ruler is elected.

In order to maintain stability at the surrounding docks, the higher-ups at Pisces Dock would certainly keep the news of Pisces King's death a secret.

With the rainy season approaching, Pisces King will certainly have no time to focus on dealing with the Cleansing Alliance in the short term.

Su Wang had also considered whether to eliminate the Pisces Queen and, while the position of power was vacant, install a puppet ruler himself.

Alternatively, he could seize control of Pisces capital by force and become the new ruler himself.

But after thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea.

Su Wang was completely preoccupied with pollution control and had no time to take over such a large operation as Pisces King.

Cultivating a puppet ruler is equally time-consuming and laborious; he doesn't have that kind of time to waste here.

The decision was made to simply eliminate the Pisces King and leave enough time for deterrence.

Once the Cleansing Alliance expands to this point, it will naturally include the Pisces King within its territory.

Soon, Su Wang, who was invisible, arrived at the entrance of the council hall without any obstacles.

Looking at the tightly closed palace doors, Su Wang teleported to the other side of the doors with a thought.

At that very moment, a court assembly was taking place inside the main hall.

Even from the entrance of the main hall, one can see the Pisces King sitting high on his throne.

Because Su Wang remained invisible,
None of the powerful ministers in the hall, including the Pisces King, noticed that a guest from afar had arrived.

The sounds from inside the main hall reached Su Wang's ears.

"Your Majesty, the lords who ordered the requisition of supplies are quite dissatisfied and have jointly requested Your Majesty to terminate the requisition order."

“In recent days, many lords have publicly agreed to hand over supplies, but privately they have been delaying the dispatch of fleets for transportation.”

The Pisces King on the throne narrowed his eyes slightly and responded in a cold voice.

"Humph!"

"A bunch of short-sighted people!"

“Having accepted my protection, you make excuses when it comes to repaying my kindness.”

"Order the fleet to go and intimidate them, and make sure the levy order is carried out within three days."

"The Cleansing Alliance has gained momentum and is already a huge threat to my Pisces Alliance."

"Tell those who are short-sighted,"
The rebel who rules the Cleansing Alliance demands far more resources than I have.

“Once I have judged this damned traitor, I will reward them according to their merits and make up for their contributions.”

Upon hearing this, Su Wang, who was still invisible, immediately became amused.

It seems that the Pisces King secretly sent people to the Pure World Alliance's waters to investigate the situation.

He even knows so much about how he collects supplies from various docks.

Currently, it seems that, thanks to Pisces King's propaganda, the Cleansing Alliance has become synonymous with tyranny.

Pisces King, on the other hand, portrayed himself as a protector against tyranny, thereby collecting resources from numerous dock lords.

It seems that both sides are doing the same thing.

However, in terms of meaning, they are completely different.

Su Wang harshly requisitioned resources from the lords in order to combat pollution and strive to save this precarious world.

The Pisces King collected these resources for his own selfish desires and to protect himself.

At this point, Su Wang was too lazy to listen any further.

A detached voice rang out from the entrance of the main hall.

"Your Majesty, Pisces King, how do you intend to judge me?"

The sudden sound immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, who all turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.

The Pisces King, seated on his throne, was startled upon hearing this voice and even stood up from his throne.

At this moment, Su Wang deactivated his invisibility and openly revealed himself to everyone.

Everyone in the hall was surprised to see Su Wang suddenly appear.

Pisces King's face revealed an unconcealable look of panic.

"Su...Su Wang?!"

"You! You damned...guard!"

The Pisces King immediately cried out in terror, trying to summon his guards to capture this traitor he hated so much.

However, the guards who should have appeared at his beck and call never materialized, no matter how much the Pisces King called out.

Su Wang walked slowly toward the center of the hall, looking at the shouting Pisces King with impatience.

"Noisy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pisces King suddenly stopped speaking as if he had been choked.

Pisces King's eyes widened in anger, and he touched his neck with one hand, his eyes filled with terror.

At this moment, he didn't understand what had happened, why he suddenly couldn't speak, and even felt suffocated.

All we know is that this situation must have been caused by this sudden traitor.

However, as an extraordinary ship captain who controlled the first generation of extraordinary origins, he was completely unaware of anything before he was attacked.

Seeing the Pisces King's furious expression, the many powerful ministers in the hall also realized what was happening.

Some even emanated supernatural power, seemingly intending to attack Su Wang as he walked towards the center of the hall.

However, the moment the extraordinary power was activated, fear also appeared on their faces.

The restless figure came to an abrupt halt, frozen in place.

Su Wang spoke coldly at this moment.

"Don't put up a futile resistance, I don't want to kill too many people..."

Having ascended to the highest position, Su Wang has entered another level.

When they were originally saints, they could suppress extraordinary powers with their saintly might.

To wield the world's supreme power is merely a trivial matter, requiring only a thought.

When Su Wang reached the bottom of the steps leading to the throne, his mind stirred slightly.

The next second, the Pisces King, who was standing in front of the throne, glaring at Su Wang in fear and anger, suddenly floated to the ground.

It was as if an invisible hand had grabbed his throat and lifted him up.

A strong feeling of suffocation instantly swept over his body, and he began to struggle violently.

The expression on Pisces King's face changed from shock and anger to terror.

Su Wang, seemingly oblivious, moved the Pisces King several meters away from the throne, removing the obstruction that was blocking his way to the throne.

Only when he reached the throne did he turn around and slowly sit down.

Inside the main hall, numerous powerful officials witnessed all of this with expressions of horror.

Even the former king beside the throne, who was almost powerless to struggle, dared not let anyone move.

Su Wang sat on the throne, looking down at the astonished crowd below.

Those below who wanted to see him had to look up.

"Heh..." Su Wang chuckled softly.

No wonder the Pisces King values ​​royal power so much.

How can one get used to having someone unwilling to look up when everyone is looking up to them day after day?
At this moment, the struggling Pisces King seemed to have reached its limit. Its hands fell down, and its body stopped moving. It was unclear whether it was dead or alive.

Even so, no one in the hall made a sound.

Even if someone wanted to, they couldn't make a sound.

It's only because Su Wang doesn't allow it.

Ignoring the silent Pisces King beside him, Su Wang sat upright on his throne, looking down at the crowd below.

He looks like a traitor who murdered the king and seized the throne, a new king who has ascended to the throne.

Just as the many powerful ministers below were thinking this, the person sitting on the throne spoke.

"Everyone..."

"I have a lot to do."

At this point, Su Wang patted the armrest of the throne.

"I have absolutely no interest in this seat."

Upon hearing this, the powerful ministers below displayed varying expressions, but all could not hide their astonishment.

At this moment, Su Wang continued.

"However, the person who sat in this seat before me caused me a lot of trouble."

"That's why I'm here today to resolve this problem."

"I don't care what you're planning to do, even if you find someone else to take this position."

"I have only one rule: if anything stands in my way, I will come back and move it away."

"The meeting is adjourned."

The moment the words were spoken, the figure on the throne vanished.

The powerful ministers in the hall suddenly felt the terrifying force pressing down on them disappear.

At the same time, the Pisces King, which had been hovering motionless in mid-air, fell to the side of the throne and remained motionless.

Except for the Pisces King, who was originally sitting on the throne, now lying beneath it, everything that had just happened seemed like a dream.

However, upon seeing the motionless body beside the throne, everyone present understood that this must be a nightmare.

After a long pause, someone finally spoke in a trembling voice.

"What do we do now?"

For a moment, everyone in the hall looked at each other, and some even looked at the empty throne.

But when he recalled the figure that had just disappeared from the throne not long ago, he immediately withdrew his gaze from the throne.

Immediately, many powerful officials were engaged in discussion, debating what to do next.

The death of the Pisces King is no small matter.

In particular, the recent demand for supplies from numerous lords in the vicinity has already caused dissatisfaction among many lords.

If this matter is not handled properly, it could very well trigger a disturbance.

After a brief discussion, the powerful ministers reached a consensus.

They should do everything in their power to block the news, and take advantage of the upcoming rainy season to consolidate the Pisces capital and establish a new king.

However, some people in the room may have had their own thoughts about the new king's throne, but they quickly abandoned them.

Because everyone present reached an absolute consensus: they should no longer provoke the leader of the Clean World Alliance.

Considering that the Cleansing Alliance is constantly expanding its territory, it will inevitably affect the Pisces capital sooner or later.

Even if you sit on this throne, you can only sit on it for a short time.

They had to live in constant fear, lest that person reappear in the main hall one day.

When the closed doors of the main hall reopen,
Many powerful ministers emerged from the gate, and the king was no longer on the throne in the main hall, nor was he on the ground beside it.

...

At this moment, Su Wang had already returned to the polluted sea area from the Pisces Kingdom.

Defeating the Pisces King also served as a deterrent.

That's enough.

If those people are even slightly smart, they should know what to do next.

As for that throne, Su Wang found it too uncomfortable to sit on.

The expansion of the Clean World Alliance should no longer be hindered in the future.

Su Wang will now focus entirely on pollution control.

The first thing to pay attention to is the upcoming rainy season.

The last time we faced a rainy season was in safe waters.

This time, the reclaimed cleanup area is closely connected to the polluted sea area, and strange fish and pollutant fleets are constantly attacking it.

Su Wang also couldn't determine whether the rainy season would affect the current situation.

We can only be on guard and prepare for any unexpected situations that may arise at any time.

Therefore, Su Wang specially upgraded all the fleets that could be supplemented.

Not only the main force against pollutants, but also the air and sea fleets.

Even Cao Ge and Di Anxuan have each formed their own special fleets.

However, the requirements for Cao Ge's naval hegemon-type warships are too demanding, and only a little over a hundred have been assembled so far.

In contrast, Di Anxuan's Ocean Goddess fleet has already grown to over a thousand ships.

With the development and replenishment during this period, Su Wang's air and sea fleet has reached a scale of 8 ships.

The attacks from ordinary sources of pollution no longer pose any threat.

As for the mid-to-low-level fleets, they were all handed over to numerous fisher lords for development.

At this moment, the combined fleet of the alliance has reached a scale of more than 3 million ships, which is also an extremely important combat force.

Currently, there is no need for Su Wang to mobilize his own manpower to fight against the polluter fleet. The only thing that still requires his personal involvement is to purify the polluted dock.

Soon, several days passed in the blink of an eye.

The rainy season has arrived as scheduled.

After a night of crimson darkness, the sky did not brighten for long.

It quickly turned into a gloomy scene with dark clouds.

At the same time, Su Wang also received a report that the invasion of strange fish in the area connecting the purified and polluted sea areas had become very active.

This suggests that the rainy season is likely to have a beneficial effect on polluted sea areas.

As the dark clouds turned into black clouds, the situation became even more serious after the first drop of black rain fell.

The impact of the rainy season has drastically reduced the area affected by the cleanup of the sea.

The connections between the interconnected purification docks have become extremely weak.

The swarms of strange fish, which were originally only needed to be resisted at the junction of the sea and the ocean, have begun to appear in the inland waters.

Left with no other choice, they had to recall part of the fleet to clear out the strange fish swarm that had appeared inside.

Meanwhile, they conducted exploration via Starlink.

Su Wang also discovered that the known untreated polluter fleets had all undergone changes.

The fleet heading towards the purified sea area saw its mobility more than double.

It's unclear whether there have been any changes in combat strength, but the fact that their mobility has increased is already causing problems.

The original interception and cleanup plan needs to be readjusted.

In addition, some of the fleet had to be mobilized to return and clear out the strange fish swarm that had appeared inside.

Suddenly, the previously ample manpower became scarce.

If we hadn't significantly increased manpower before this rainy season, we probably would have been caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.

Furthermore, an even more worrying situation arose for Su Wang.

With the start of the rainy season, a warning message regarding deeply polluted sea areas was immediately issued.

[With the lifting of restrictions on deeply polluted sea areas, pollution activity levels have increased; please be vigilant about the spread of pollution.]

"Pollution spreading..."

"Will those aggregates awaken as a result?"

Su Wang felt uneasy and immediately prepared to go and investigate.
