Cave Refuge

Although this slightly harsh environment wouldn't have too much of an effect on the two of them, choosing to endure hardship outside rather than staying in a comfortable setting would naturally make anyone feel a bit displeased.

Robinson William noticed that Dong Tianyu's expression was a bit awkward at this moment and realized that it was his own proposal that had inconvenienced the other party. Considering that the Taylor family members would stay inside Dong Tianyu's Companion Spiritual Treasure after the battle began, he, wanting to alleviate Dong Tianyu's mood, started with a hint of apology: "How about the two of us go in first, and come out when we're close to the battleground?"

The reason Robinson William suggested that they both enter was not because he couldn't stand the environment but to provide Dong Tianyu with a pretext. After all, if only Dong Tianyu entered the Companion Spiritual Treasure while Robinson William persisted outside,

there might be only members of the Thompson Family and Taylor family present now, but if someone inadvertently let slip this matter, it would definitely impact Dong Tianyu's reputation.

Moreover, once such a thing leaked out, no matter who initially revealed this information, the relationship between the Thompson Family and Taylor family would immediately suffer a rift.

Therefore, to avoid such an accident, the best method was to stifle the issue at its source. Hence, at this time, whatever decision Dong Tianyu made, Robinson William would advance and retreat together with him.

However, Dong Tianyu did not pay any heed to Robinson William's proposal.

Just as Robinson William was about to continue speaking, Dong Tianyu suddenly said, "Alright, we are now quickly approaching our destination."

Following Dong Tianyu's remark, Robinson William could also faintly make out some ships from afar. As the two of them gradually drew closer, they could see an endless fleet on the sea.

Neither Dong Tianyu nor Robinson William had anticipated that the compulsory draft text message issued by the Imperial Court would cause the Magic Capital Base to turn out in full force, leading to an overcrowded situation within the designated area.

As Dong Tianyu and Ye Liuyun drew closer, the people on the ships at the periphery also spotted Dong Tianyu and Robinson William.

Initially, when those people saw only Dong Tianyu and Robinson William on the water, they thought one of them was an Artifact Manipulator, directly controlling the currents to bring them over.

However, as Dong Tianyu and Robinson William gradually approached, they noticed a massive object beneath them.

Those with a bit of intelligence quickly realized that the two were not relying on the power of an Artifact Master to manipulate water but were sitting atop a submarine.

With the two of them drawing near, more and more people became aware of the large object beneath them.

Watching the two still not slowing down despite being close, the survivors on the deck of the edge ships immediately showed a panicky look, fearing the submarine beneath Dong Tianyu and Robinson William would collide with them.

But before they could speak up, Dong Tianyu and Robinson William, leveraging the forward momentum of the Companion Spiritual Treasure, leapt forward abruptly, landing on the deck of a ship with perfect posture.

And the high-speed submarine beneath them, while still not slowing down, began to dive deeper, with its previously faintly visible silhouette swiftly disappearing from everyone's sight.

Witnessing the two's very stylish landing method, although people on the deck couldn't help but show envious eyes, they also couldn't resist mocking their show-off behavior.

Fortunately, although the landing method of the two was somewhat stylish, they did not linger to show off.

After landing, the two promptly stood up, and then Dong Tianyu and Robinson William both took out cigarette cases from their pockets, distributing cigarettes to the people nearby, immediately dissipating the subtle atmosphere of rejection around them.

Through the social gesture of offering cigarettes, Dong Tianyu also roughly understood the situation here, but the more he understood it, the more he felt that the person who issued the compulsory draft text was definitely an idiot.

Although the area planned by the Imperial Court for the interception battle was not small, after summoning most of the people from the Magic Capital Base, the designated maritime area was definitely insufficient.

Especially since some people, in order to showcase their own strength, would still summon their Companion Spiritual Treasure at its maximum size even if they only had two or three people on board.

For this reason, the original area, which was not large to begin with, saw a drastic reduction in the number of ships that could stay.

As more and more people gathered here, the later ships simply could not enter the designated area.

Everyone knew that due to the number of people, the judgment as to whether they had arrived at the designated location within the specified time should be made by the system.

Therefore, if they failed to enter the specified area before the battle started, even if they had already joined the interception, they might still be judged as evading the summons.

To ensure that they were not judged as evading the summons, since their Companion Spiritual Treasure could not enter the designated area, they simply abandoned their own Companion Spiritual Treasure and signed in to the designated area through someone else's Companion Spiritual Treasure.

After becoming aware of this matter, Dong Tianyu and Robinson William said goodbye to the people they had just met on the deck and then went from deck to deck to sign in at the designated area, proving that they had arrived at the specified position before the start of the interception battle.

Perhaps because this situation had occurred too many times, when Dong Tianyu and Robinson William jumped onto the decks of those unfamiliar ships, not only did no one come out to question them, but some also greeted them warmly.

After the two successfully completed their sign-in, looking at the surrounding ships that were almost touching one another, Dong Tianyu was instantly reminded of a historical anecdote from the Three Kingdoms era.

At this moment, if the Bat Monsters launched a fire attack on the ships that were waiting here, would the magnificent scene of the historical burning of the Red Cliffs be reproduced?

However, this thought merely flashed through Dong Tianyu's mind, as after all, Companion Spiritual Treasures were not ordinary wooden ships, and even if the Bat Monsters used fire attacks on them, setting aside whether they could ignite the Companion Spiritual Treasures, the fact that the owners could recall the Companion Spiritual Treasures into their Sea of Consciousness anytime meant that fire attacks had little impact on them.

Just as Dong Tianyu was still pondering over how much damage a fire attack would cause to this dense array of ships, suddenly the communication devices of some people started ringing.

Perhaps because the communicators of several people went off simultaneously, they did not avoid others when answering the calls, they looked at the caller ID before answering.

But as soon as they answered the call and heard the voice on the other end, the few who were on the call suddenly looked quite embarrassed.

Before the curious onlookers had time to inquire about the news, they heard someone speak angrily: "Which brainless fool sent that compulsory summoning message, gathering us all here, isn't this a trap?"

"The one who came up with this idea and actually implemented it must be a complete imbecile, we must catch and dismember them, definitely dismember them."

The crowd was drawn to this furious voice, then very nosily wanted to find out the reason behind this person's anger.

But at the moment, the person looked somewhat agitated, so no one took the initiative to ask. After waiting a moment, when the person's emotions had subsided somewhat, someone nearby took the initiative to ask: "Brother, what exactly happened to make you so angry right now?"

Perhaps because his mood had slightly calmed down, when he heard someone asking, although he was still very angry, at this moment he merely clenched his fists tightly and then spoke with a somewhat tragic tone:

"I just received news that the Bat Monster we were supposed to intercept, taking advantage of the fewer personnel and weaker defensive power at the Magic Capital Base, has now directly raided it."
