Chapter 1068 - 438: World Scar
This is a splendid warship built from tightly arranged steel plates.
On the deck, one can see rugged turrets arranged above.
Representing the Holy Machine Church, the gear and the central eye are imprinted on the side of the ship.
On the deck, soldiers wearing lightweight chain armor can also be seen patrolling, using vibrating stone guns that look incredibly powerful.
The three steel warships from the Holy Machine Church slowed down their speed and circled the area where the two Demon Warships had sunk. One of them, seemingly the lead ship, slowly stopped beside Akka and the others, about 10 meters away.
A seemingly ordinary man, with somewhat dark skin, glanced at the flag on Akka and the others’ ship.
It was the symbol representing Akka and their team.
With the Ocean Island as the background, a precisely calibrated compass and the eye within it hovered above.
"Are you Compass Eye?" He looked at Akka and the others by the ship’s side and asked suspiciously.
Although he wasn’t sure if the flag’s pattern was what he thought it was.
Hearing this, Akka and the others were slightly surprised, as they had a slight fame on Gemini Island, but they knew it was only in that area.
Despite the doubt, Akka nodded: "That’s correct."
Upon hearing this, the person resembling a captain nodded and looked at Simon beside him.
Nodding at him, he courteously greeted them, considering they were members of the same Church.
"So, you are heading to World Scar, correct? We have received some similar information."
It seems the Archbishop might have sent the message here first, Akka nodded.
Then, a metal wheat decoration appeared in his hand.
Seeing this metal wheat decoration and its emitted aura, along with Simon beside Akka, this captain seemed to confirm their identity.
"All right, we will leave a ship to guide you."
After speaking, without waiting for Akka and the others to respond, the ship moved to the resting place of their companions. After gathering the three ships, one stayed, while the other two sailed away into the distance.
The Ironclad Ship stayed in place and sailed over.
The captain of this ship was a square-faced man with a crew cut.
"Now we will lead you to World Scar, please stay behind us and don’t fall behind."
After exchanging words, the Ironclad Ship started moving, with Sound of Dawn following behind.
Following the Ironclad Ship, soon they saw the ocean current ahead seemed to change differently.
As soon as the Ironclad Ship navigated through, the speed immediately increased. Akka and the others followed closely, propelled by the current, and quickly sped up to follow.
Following the current, the speed of the two ships gradually increased, faster and faster. As they sailed, they could see other ships navigating nearby.
Akka even saw a Demon Warship similar to the one they encountered earlier, being chased by three ships seemingly made from vines and leaves.
Soon, this Demon Warship, like the two they had encountered before, sank into the ocean.
Various patrolling ships and ongoing naval battles both demonstrated that this place was perpetually embroiled in warfare.
"Is this some kind of rapid ocean current?" Standing on the deck, feeling the fast sailing, Jason asked.
He’s not very knowledgeable in this regard.
"Such a place shouldn’t have such currents, it should be man-made," Lucilia observed the surrounding sea conditions and said.
Matilda beside her nodded: "I can feel the aura of the Sea God within the current; I even detected the Sea God’s followers beneath the current just now.
It should be maintained and operated by the Sea God’s Church."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood.
The speed of such a current route was fast; what would have originally taken two to three days to reach, they traversed in about half a day, and could faintly see the Island that almost completely blocked their view.
Perhaps with such a large stretch of land, "Island" is no longer a fitting term.
Following the current, Akka and the others quickly found a port city on the shore.
Boats densely crowded around, flooding towards that area.
As they reached here, the ship that had been guiding them directly left the current with no communication with Akka and the others.
Upon arrival, Akka and the others roughly understood and directly steered their ship toward the port.
As they got closer, they could see that this city was built against a mountain range.
This is a coastal mountain peak, where the city sprawled from the mountain’s waist all the way to the sea.
On both sides of the city, towering protective walls and some protrusions from the mountain peak combined to form two curved protective barriers, encircling the entire city in the center.
Akka and the others could see at least six or seven airships flying in the sky.
"What is that?" Jason asked in astonishment.
Simon gazed bright-eyed at the view, where beside the coast stood a building resembling a Lighthouse. But the top of the building extended a hugely thick cannon barrel, resembling a giant cannon.
