Chapter 1708 1708. Border River

At the joint border between the Shylvan Region, Lanoskh Region, and the Liguritudum Realm, a wide river divided the two border regions with the great territory of Liguritudum. The allied armies of Themisphere, Sangrod, and the few remaining troops of Hydrurond camped at the riverside opposite the Liguritudum Realm.

They had arrived one day ago but they just stood by the riverside.

The reason they didn't cross was the presence of some ships lining the opposite sides. These ships were the ones Kaghast sent to guard the border river while the Liguritudum Armada chased the Palgrost Armada. These ships consisted of 12 galleons and 3 galleasses.

If the allied armies insisted on crossing the border river, these few ships wouldn't be able to prevent them from reaching the other shores. However, they could cause heavy casualties on the allied sides.

Natives below rare elite grade could drown. They wouldn't be able to cross the river safely in this situation. Even the rare elites would still suffer if they got bombarded by the cannon fires while crossing. Some soldiers had flying abilities but the number was not enough to take over the ships. Many would perish from the ships' ranged attacks before they set foot on those ships.

Hence, they just stood by and waited for the others to arrive.

Arther had returned to the Themisphere army waiting by this river. He had a super rare steed which let him catch up with the army when they were still midway here.This content originates from n0v3lbin•

The Sangrod army was positioned at the rear during the march, so they were the first to notice Arther's arrival. Vanessa was extremely surprised when she saw Arther riding over. She didn't waste time to go pestering Arther about how he escaped death. Arther chose to be silent. He didn't tell Vanessa about the Revival Pool that had saved his life.

Outsiders could easily find out about the Revival Pool if they visited Thehemburgh, but Arther was not a busybody. He was not sure if Jack was okay with him telling others about the revival pool, so he kept silent.

He faked annoyance from Vanessa's insistent pestering. But deep inside, he didn't mind.

Emris was also heading here but he still needed a few days to arrive.

"But how long are we going to wait still?" The Man complained. "If no one is doing anything, I and my boys will volunteer to be the ones who cross first."

"I agree with that brute," Manager Steelhand said.

The Man was about to lunge at Steelhand but Bowler held him back.

"We players can breathe underwater," Manager Steelhand continued. "Those ships wouldn't be able to stop us. We could even swim to the ships and attack by boarding them."

"Don't act smart if you don't know things," Peniel scolded Steelhand. "Regions between countries are inhabited by strong monsters. This is what prevents low-level natives and outworlders from safely crossing the borders between countries. Some of these borders are more extreme than others. This border river is one of them. You can only safely cross if you use a ship. If you try to cross by swimming, you will be assailed by many monsters above level 60 on the surface. At the bottom, which is not that deep, you can even encounter monsters above level 80. You will lose many men before you get to the other side."

"Hahaha, hear that? You, smartass!" The Man laughed. He was happy Steelhand got ridiculed.

"So how? We can't just wait around and twiddle our thumbs here," Manager Steelhand said. He pretended he didn't hear The Man.

"What about your country guardians?" Kill Order asked. "Those dragons should make short works of those ships."

"It is still one day before the cooldown is over," Jack replied.

"How about all of us mythical grade who can fly led other fliers to attack the ships?" Samuhn suggested. "With our number here, we should be able to take them down. We might lose some men but that is better than continuing to wait."

They all turned to Jack to see what he would say about this suggestion.
