Sailing: The crew members are all top-notch talents!

Reno, as if struck by a thought, turned to look at Lingling.

“I got it a while ago. As soon as we met with her, she gave it to you,” Lingling said truthfully.

Renault nodded upon hearing this. Now everything was ready, except for the final push!

"But brother, I advise you to go see Sister Flameflower as soon as possible. In the past six years, you two have only met a few times, and now she won't answer your calls."

“Since you’re going to Xihai anyway, you might as well go ahead and ease the tension between you two. If it were me, after all these years of being alone, I’d probably lose my temper too,” Lingling said very seriously.

Renault paused for a moment, then thought about it and agreed.

"Alright, we'll set off in three days!"

"Have more people keep an eye on Lockheed and the Navy. Notify me immediately if they make any large-scale moves."

"I know, I know. You say it every day, will it ever end?"

Annoyed by the questions, Lingling crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks.

Upon seeing the towering peaks, Renault's throat bobbed involuntarily, and he suddenly became interested.

He immediately pulled Lingling up: "Lingling, come on, let's have some fun!"

"what?!"

"They're going to practice the Overlord Sea technique again? Didn't they just practice it yesterday?!"

"Why train the Overlord of the Sea? Train me!"

Realizing what had happened, Lingling blushed instantly and lowered her head as Renault dragged her into the room.

.......

.......

Holy Land, Marie Gioia.

In the magnificent palace, the Five Elders sat casually.

"Three years have passed, which place has been chosen this time?!"

Sitting on the sofa, with his legs crossed, the long-bearded Five Elders spoke casually.

"A place called God Valley!"

The five elders, sword in hand, carefully wiped their beloved blades as they spoke in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this name, the five elders frowned, their gazes turning hostile.

BA YI YI QI SAN QI LIU LIU LIU

"Heh... How dare you name it after a god! You deserve to die!"

The hot-tempered blond Five Elders immediately spoke up angrily.

"It's just a silent rebellion by a bunch of lowly people, it's meaningless, but since they've offended the great God, let's wipe them out completely!"

"Let these lowly people become the prey of the great Celestial Dragons!"

"Let those Celestial Dragons have their fun this time. I wonder if they'll regret using the word 'God' in their names when these lowly people are kneeling before us, wagging their tails and begging for mercy like dogs!"

"Hehehehe... It's a pity that regret is useless now. Their fate has been sealed, and death is their only destination!"

With a few casual remarks, the Five Elders decided the fate of hundreds of thousands of residents on the entire island.

In their view, this was just one of the islands that was to be destroyed according to custom.

They were furious simply because his name contained the word "god"!

It turns out that the Celestial Dragons have a tradition.

Every three years, they will conduct a hunting expedition against humans!

Choose any non-member country of the World Government in any location, launch a massacre contest on the island, eventually kill all the island's inhabitants, and then declare the island to belong to the World Government.

(I have to say, they're a complete scumbag!!)

Of course, the selected member states of the World Government cannot be too powerful, and the islands must also have abundant resources.

The former goes without saying; otherwise, let these guys go hunt Elbaf and see what happens.

As for the latter, as the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed!

If there's nothing on the island, not even a bird's droppings, would you really kill just for the sake of killing?!

At the very least, after killing people, loot all the resources on the island!

The place they chose this time is the Valley of the Gods in the Western Sea.

"Based on the timeline, there are still three months left. Notify the navy and tell them to prepare in advance!"

"This operation is of utmost importance; most of the Celestial Dragons will be going, so we must ensure their safety!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

“…”

All five elders nodded in agreement. This hunt was not as simple as just one or two Celestial Dragons.

There are 200 Celestial Dragons; their safety is of paramount importance! V.

095 An impenetrable defense, unusual movements from all sides, and an attack on the Valley of the Gods!

A month and a half later.

West Sea, Valley of the Gods.

It is a non-member state of the world government with a population of over 100,000.

The island is rich in resources, and its people live in peace and contentment, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

However, the arrival of a group of uninvited guests recently shattered this tranquility.

Fifty high-spec naval warships, each carrying a thousand armed naval soldiers, a total of fifty thousand elite naval troops, descended upon God Valley without warning.

The residents of God Valley were completely unaware of what had happened. When they awoke, they found the entire island surrounded by layers upon layers of naval soldiers.

They were forced to remain on the island, with no one allowed to enter or leave!

Everyone's movement was confined to the encirclement of the naval soldiers!

Not only that, the navy also brought many slaves of different races and surrounded them in the Valley of the Gods as well!

The sudden scene immediately made countless residents uneasy, but seeing the navy's large-scale deployment, they dared not rise up in resistance.

With great trepidation, the King of God Valley sought out Fleet Admiral Kong Steel Bone to inquire about the reason.

Why bring so many naval soldiers to Kamiya?!

And what was the reason for surrounding them?

However, all his questions were like throwing a stone into the sea. Kong didn't say much, but after giving him a meaningful look, he ordered the naval commander to drive him into the encirclement.

They also issued a warning that anyone who dared to leave the encirclement would be killed without mercy!

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from Kong, the fearful King of God Valley could only retreat empty-handed.

The silence and attitude of Kong made the King of God Valley feel extremely depressed.

Although he didn't know what would happen next, he had a vague premonition that God Valley was about to suffer a catastrophic disaster.

The Valley of the Gods is now surrounded by 50,000 naval soldiers.

Every so often, there are several Rear Admirals "047" or a Vice Admiral stationed there, making the defenses extremely strong!

Even a wild rabbit or a bird is under their control!

Anyone who wants to get past them and escape from here will find it as difficult as climbing to heaven!

..

A temporary command center set up by the Navy!

Several high-ranking naval officers, led by Steelbone Sky, are holding a secret meeting.

"Admiral Kong, 50,000 naval soldiers have completely surrounded God Valley, and every move on the island is under our control!" a hawkish vice admiral reported.

"Well done." Steelbone nodded slightly.

"In another month, 200 Celestial Dragons will arrive here. We must ensure their absolute safety and prevent any accidents from happening!"

"Warring States, later you take some men to investigate thoroughly again, see if there are any loopholes, don't overlook any corner!"

"Absolutely no one can be allowed to leave God Valley, and the news must not be leaked, understand?!"

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Gang Gu Kong said sternly.

Upon hearing this, Sengoku, who knew the whole story, opened his mouth, frowned, and hesitated, saying, "General Kong, are we really going to do this?!"

"The Valley of the Gods has a total of 100,000 native inhabitants. Are we just going to stand by and watch them be hunted down by those Celestial Dragons?!"

"Even though they are not members of the World Government, most of their civilians are innocent!!"

As he finished speaking, Zhan Guo's tone suddenly rose, unable to contain his emotions.

"Shut up!! Sengoku, do you know what you're saying?!"

"Keep your voice down!!" The furious Steelbone Sky immediately darkened his face and sternly shouted to stop him.

Not only the residents of God Valley, but even the 50,000 naval soldiers were kept in the dark.

Even they didn't know what the purpose of this operation was!

Because I can't say, at least not now!

What kind of turmoil would it cause if they found out that the Celestial Dragons intended to hunt down and kill all 100,000 residents?!

That's a full 50,000 naval soldiers. Even if most of them strictly follow orders, what about the small minority?!

What about that small group of naval soldiers who couldn't bear to do it?

Who can guarantee they won't secretly leak the information?!

Once morale wavers, many uncontrollable events will occur!

In order to ensure the absolute safety of these 200-plus Celestial Dragons, they absolutely could not allow the slightest accident to happen!

This information must absolutely not be leaked!

Even these fifty naval warships were only brought here by Sengoku using all his strength, evading the surveillance of Rocks, Roger, and Reno, taking a detour through remote waters, clearing all obstacles along the way, and finally arriving here!

The purpose is to keep it a secret from everyone!

Firstly, to ensure the safety of the Celestial Dragons, and secondly, to prevent the ever-watchful Rocks and others from taking advantage of their absence after learning that they had left Marine Headquarters!

Fortunately, everything was under his control!

With a grim face, Kong looked around at the several high-ranking naval officers present and said sternly:

"Listen up, all of you! This matter must not be leaked before the Celestial Dragons arrive!"

"No matter what you're thinking or how much dissatisfaction you have, keep it all to yourself!"

"If the information leaks and causes an accident involving a Celestial Dragon, or if Rocks takes the opportunity to attack Marine Headquarters, you should know the consequences, right?!"

"By then, no one can protect you!"

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, General Kong!"

"understand!"

"..."

Many of the naval vice admirals present responded in unison.

Steel Bone Kong's expression softened somewhat upon seeing this.

"Admiral Kong, since we need to protect the Celestial Dragons' safety, should we notify Vice Admiral Garp?!"

A naval vice admiral with several scars on his face asked the question.
