Raine stared at Archie, impressed by his knowledge. He had heard that Archie used to serve in a top-tier fleet and, after losing half his life in a battle, now walked with a limp.
The strongest being in a sea area wasn't a human, which was unprecedented in previous sea areas.
"Archie, is the Dragon King God really that powerful? Are there no humans who can defeat it?"
Archie nodded.
"In the Dragon-class sea area, there are three major human fleets, collectively known as the 'Three Great Fleets'! They are the Sky Arrow, Sky Shield, and Sky Wind fleets."
"The captains of these three fleets are respectively known as the 'Strongest of the Free Fleets,' the 'Strongest of the Navy,' and the 'Strongest of Humanity!'"
Raine furrowed his brows, "That's not right. Above the Dragon-class sea, there's a Sky-class sea, isn't there? Their title is self-proclaimed, and compared to those in the Sky-class sea, claiming themselves as the strongest among humans seems a bit excessive."
Archie shook his head, "Sir, those in the Sky-class sea are no longer human..."
Raine nearly choked on his own breath, "What do you mean?"
"Even if they were once human, those beings have already transcended the realm of humanity. The battles there are beyond our imagination; any atypical war could be described as a battle of gods without exaggeration."
Raine suddenly felt like a frog at the bottom of a well.
"Alright, let's leave the Sky-class sea aside for now and talk about the Dragon-class sea."
"Yes, sir. Initially, the Dragon-class sea was within human control, and there were dragons here as well. However, due to the existence of powerful humans, the dragon race could only reign supreme under the sea, and their influence was suppressed by the mighty human fleet on the surface."
"But 150 years ago, the emergence of the Dragon King God completely changed this situation!"
"The power of the Dragon King God is incredibly terrifying. Not only does it possess astonishing defense, but its attack power and means also send shivers down one's spine. It led the dragon race to defeat the then-dominant Three Greatest Fleets, which even had hopes of breaking into the Sky-class sea!"
"However, the Dragon King God did not dare to truly drive the three great powers to the brink. If the three great powers were cornered, the Dragon King God might not die, but the dragon race would suffer heavy losses."
"In the end, the Dragon King God left one-third of the sea for humanity, which is today's safe sea."
Raine's eyebrows tightened, deeply shocked.
Capable of overpowering the Three Greatest Fleet and suppressing the three great powers, the strength of the Dragon King God was indeed unimaginably formidable. Most importantly, this creature could also summon other dragon deities.
After adding a nuclear submarine to his arsenal, Raine could now take down one or two dragon deities without much difficulty, but he would certainly be no match for a group of them.
"Killing a few dragon deities might not bother the Dragon King God, but sir, you must be careful not to keep doing so. Once the Dragon King God is alarmed, it could be disastrous..."
Raine nodded, "Alright, Archie, thank you for reminding me. I'll be careful from now on. By the way, do you know the strength of the three great powers?"
"I'm not sure about that either. I haven't seen them in action for a long time. They are all legendary captains, aged over 150 years old, and rarely take action themselves. Moreover, the current Dragon-class sea maintains a sort of balance."
Raine shook his head, "This so-called balance, I doubt it. I know the story of a frog being boiled in slowly heated water. Would the Dragon King truly spare the Three Greatest Fleet? I don't believe it."
"Sir, whether you believe it or not, the Dragon King God is the ruler in the Dragon-class sea."
Raine didn't say more, and they chatted about other topics.
That night, Raine gathered his core crew members and relayed the information Archie had shared with him to everyone.
"Captain, shall we still head to the island below?"
"Go!" Raine declared firmly. "There's a severe imbalance in my materials right now. I must find aluminum and titanium veins. I have to evolve to the next level!"
Trajan nodded, "Captain, what about the Golden Crow Fleet?"
Raine pondered for a moment, "Scout is still monitoring. But you guys don't need to worry about that. Trajan, you focus on slaying dragons. I'll handle the Golden Crow Fleet."
Raine squinted his eyes slightly, "Just focusing on saving money for upgrades isn't safe anymore. We don't know when the Dragon King God will return, and the other fleets in the Dragon-class sea are very powerful. So I plan to strengthen our fleet, adding new battleships."
"Armin, I need to leave some people behind as captains and crew for the new battleships. You handle the selection."
"How many captains?"
"12!"
....................
Once Raine set his mind to it, he built twelve nuclear submarines in one go, enough to form three submarine squadrons.
After the construction of the twelve submarines was completed, the sea's surface appeared empty.
Raine looked at the deserted sea and smiled faintly. Many people probably couldn't imagine that beneath this calm surface hid twelve immensely powerful nuclear-powered submarines.
Although the nuclear submarines' burst power was inferior to that of the super battleships, they were equipped with "Sea Fury" anti-ship missiles, currently the strongest in Raine's fleet.
Once "Sea Fury" was deployed on a large scale, its destructive power could only be described as terrifying.
Within two months, the new captains gradually became familiar with the nuclear submarine operations, and Raine personally led the fleet to rendezvous with Scout.
"Captain, they're about to set out," Scout reported.
Raine sneered, "I've been waiting for them to make a move!"
Two days later, over 600 warships from the Golden Crow Fleet set out from the safe sea, heading towards Flowing Gold Island.
..........
"Captain, the latest news shows that they're on Flowing Gold Island."
A burly middle-aged man stood on the battleship, a cold glint in his eyes, "Daring to touch our people, this time we'll make sure they're finished!"
"You think you're so great because you have aircraft carriers? I have seven aircraft carriers! I'll beat you until you beg for mercy! Dad Bounty Group? I'll make their captain kneel before me and call me 'Dad'!"
This time, their preparation for targeting the Father's Bounty Hunter Group was thorough.
Not only was each armored ship equipped with electronic warfare devices, but the entire fleet was also fitted with anti-radar metallic coatings, reinforced radar systems, and significantly increased fire control radar accuracy...
Moreover, the aircraft on the seven carriers were all enhanced for anti-air power, clearly targeting the Dad's formidable aerial force.
Once the Dad lost their air superiority, it would be like they were missing an arm!
Watson, filled with high spirits, looked at the vast fleet behind him. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Brothers, give it your all this time. I heard they've stockpiled quite a lot of materials on the island. We can make a fortune just by turning it over!"
"Yes, Captain!" came the replies from various fleet commanders through the walkie-talkie.
"How far is it?"
"Captain, we are 70 nautical miles from Flowing Gold Island!"
Watson stood on the deck of the battleship with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. "Very well, today this old man will teach them a lesson!"
Boom, boom, boom... Just then, Watson suddenly heard dozens of cannon fire, startling him.
Instantly, the deck beneath him began to shake violently.
"Captain, we're under attack by an unknown enemy!" shouted an unidentified captain through the walkie-talkie.
"Where did the enemy come from?"
"Captain, it's an enemy underwater!"
Raine stared at Archie, impressed by his knowledge. He had heard that Archie used to serve in a top-tier fleet and, after losing half his life in a battle, now walked with a limp.
