Whoosh!

Accompanied by the teleportation array’s light, all the ministers and noblemen, together with Watson and King Landhar III, disappeared in a burst of light and arrived above the lake that stretched for dozens of kilometers outside the capital.

All the ministers and noblemen cried out in surprise. On the one hand, they were moved by the lake’s vastness, and on the other hand, they were standing in the air. If not for Watson’s magic, they would have fallen, which made them a little nervous.

“Watson, you brought me here to see the ships you have made. Where are the ships?”

King Landhar III looked around and found nothing in the lake. There was a large piece of jade, and there were dozens of waterways around the lake. There were no boats on it. Would those boats out of thin air as Watson build them on the spot?

He was puzzled. He knew that Watson would do as he said. Furthermore, with his fusion magic, it was not difficult to build a large number of boats on the spot. However, he had a feeling that something was not right.

He knew that Watson had built a lake outside the royal city and arranged for the sea folks to live there. However, he was too lazy to care about it. All his forces in the royal city were under Watson’s surveillance. Watson had taken over the royal city. There were sea folks who appeared in the royal city to try to live with humans.

If that continued, perhaps it would become standard for humans to live with other races in a few years.

‘This feels pretty good too.’ The corner of King Landhar III’s lips curled up in an invisible arc. “This way, my plan will be easier to implement. The Elven Kingdom and the Winter Nation will join forces, and Watson will be in charge of stopping them. Everything is going as I expected! My first round of plans has failed, but it doesn’t matter. I didn’t think it would be so easy to win. Let’s have a decisive battle this time.”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. I’ll summon those ships now.”

When King Landhar III asked, Watson replied, also lost in thought.

‘His Majesty has become much more obedient in those two days. He did not deliberately pick on me, but I always have a feeling of unease.’ Watson looked down.

According to Nightingale and Elven’s reports, King Landhar III had been staying in the palace for the past two days, admiring the flowers with Avril when he had nothing to do or playing chess. He rarely read official documents. It seemed like he had completely given up his duty as the King because he had resurrected Avril.

However, there was an indescribable feeling. Watson felt like something was wrong, but he could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

‘I have the ability to fuse with King Landhar III and turn him into a puppet. After all, I am at peak diamond-tier, on par with him. No matter what he does, as long as I activate the fusion system, his preparations will be ineffective.”

Watson heaved a sigh of relief. He did not think that King Landhar III would be able to do anything under such circumstances. Previously, he had let King Landhar III go because he was still unclear about some past secrets. Maintaining his vigilance against King Landhar III, he placed his attention on the surface of the lake below and clapped his hands.

Clap! Clap!

The sound echoed on the surface of the lake like thunder. Then, the entire lake began to boil. The water splashed up violently with bubbles, followed by the appearance of a group of sea folks. They were led by Poseidon, Owen, and the others. Gerant and Lubin, who had stayed there previously, were also there.

They immediately nodded respectfully at Watson in the sky.

“Young Master Watson.”

Waving his hand, Watson indicated that he had seen them before. He asked, “Where are the ships I told you to build?”

“Young Master Watson, don’t worry. The ships are ready. Please take a look,” Poseidon replied.

The lake’s surface, which had been boiling, became more frenzied. Many pitch-black silhouettes emerged from under the sea folks as if they were giant beasts crouching under the sea. The outlines emerged from the water and showed their fangs to the ignorant people.

The pitch-black silhouettes soon revealed their complete appearance. They were huge ships that were at least 100 meters long. Instead of calling them ships, they were more like huge iron blocks that were 100 meters long. Thick, black iron blocks surrounded the entire ship without a single gap. On both sides and at the back of the ship, there were devices that looked like fins and tails. They rotated quickly to ensure that the ship could move freely in the water.

“What is that?” A minister looked at the black ship that appeared below in a daze. His face was filled with disbelief. “Are those the ships that His Highness Watson had mentioned?”

“The metal on the surface of those ships looks like top-tier gold-tier obsidian gold. There’s also platinum-tier star iron mixed into them! It’s amazing. Both of those metals are known for their hardness. Star iron, in particular, has the ability to self-repair. It’s often used to forge platinum-tier weapons. Even platinum-tier elites might not be able to destroy the iron pieces mixed with those two metals. However, no matter how strong those two metals are, their weight is astonishing. It’s hard to imagine that such a large ship could float on the surface of the water,” another general who had some understanding of ship construction said.

The rest of the people had the same expression on their faces. They had never seen a ship with such precious materials or shape. Could a ship that was not floating on the surface still be considered a ship?

“Those ships are the platinum-tier magical ships that I used gold-tier and platinum-tier ores to get the sea folks to build. It also has another name—the deep-sea behemoth submarine! This ship, called a submarine, is an epoch-making new ship that I have developed. It has the ability to move underwater. The Ptolemy family can also build similar ships now. However, their submarines are weaker than these. Whether in terms of stealth or defense, they are not as good as these. Currently, the sea folks have a thousand submarines. What do you think?”

Watson looked around and saw many of the ministers could not help but exclaim, “The ship can dive into the deep sea? So they don’t need to worry about the storms? It must be a weapon of war!” They seemed to be in a good mood.

“The ships seem to have pretty good abilities. According to my estimation, a submarine would probably have tens or even hundreds of times the combat strength of the largest ship in the Holy Dragon Kingdom! It probably has an even stronger concealment ability. However, I have a problem. The southern fortress city is a city on land. How do we get these submarines to launch an attack on the land city?”

Macrotov widened his eyes when he saw the submarines. Then, he frowned.

“You don’t have to worry about that, Your Majesty.” As Watson turned to look in the direction of King Landhar III, he asked, “Your Majesty, in order for those ships to reach the southern cities, I have to make some changes to the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s terrain. You have no objections about that, right? ”

“No.”

As soon as King Landhar III agreed, Watson extended his right hand toward the lake. “Fusion system, activate!”

Boom!

With a loud sound, the lake, which already occupied dozens of kilometers, suddenly expanded, engulfing a stretch of plains in the western part of the kingdom. Under the plains, rolling water splashed out. Transparent pipes were in the water. At the same time, cracks spread rapidly in all directions as if they would spread to the kingdom’s entire territory.

In just a short period, Watson had changed the environment around the kingdom. The lake had expanded dozens of times, and the water that extended from the lake was as straight as a sharp arrow, filling up every crack.
