Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2528 1395: Seemingly False Scenery (Part 2)

"Count us in as well!"

Crisis, Fanny, and Bruno rose to their feet at the same moment, speaking with one voice, while Jess, Lianna, and the others offered their silent agreement with firm nods.

The atmosphere of dread that had previously gripped the group vanished instantly, replaced by a surge of renewed morale and high spirits.

"Then we shall commence the operation immediately."

With a sharp snap of his fingers, Leo Ray began issuing deployment orders.

A formidable fleet, comprised of ten massive vessels and six swift ships, soon weighed anchor and began their journey toward the mysterious, uncharted territory.

Across the boundless ocean, however, no physical ships were visible; only sudden, frothing white wakes appeared on the water's surface before vanishing just as quickly.

Standing at the prow of the giant flagship, Leo Ray watched as the unknown land drew nearer, inhaling the sharp, briny scent of the sea air.

The fleet's invisibility was not the result of the illusions cast by Elusa or Little Illusion, but rather a function of Little Jie’s Absolute Defense Barrier.

While Little Jie usually found it difficult to maintain this state while in motion, the ships were the ones moving this time, not her.

Simultaneously, I had reorganized the distribution of our powerhouses, significantly bolstering the offensive capabilities of the giant ships that had originally been less formidable.

"Your Majesty, please look ahead!"

After the fleet had traveled at maximum speed for some time, the Minotaur captain stationed at the lookout point shouted in shock, gesturing toward the distant horizon.

Leo Ray narrowed his eyes. Before he could even distinguish what was in the water ahead, a suffocatingly thick and pungent stench of blood washed over them.

Many of the Minotaur sailors on deck, caught off guard by the foul odor, began to retch uncontrollably.

A moment later, Leo Ray saw that the sea before them had turned a deep crimson, churned with streaks of yellow, green, and white viscous fluids—the source of the horrific smell.

"That is the scent of sea monsters!"

Bruno blurted out as the realization hit him. "How can this be? Their hides are as tough as forged steel, yet they have been completely ground into paste? Not even a Tier 6 Peak expert could manage such a feat!"

"This is the site of the recent spatial restructuring," Jasper Richardson explained with a slight grimace. "Faced with such heaven-defying, repetitive gravitational forces, this outcome is hardly surprising."

"It makes sense why they initially forced us to remain on that isolated island; had we appeared in this location then, our fate would have been sealed."

Leo Ray reflected aloud, gently rubbing his chin.

"The Human Majesty speaks the truth. It appears that until the stage was fully prepared, that hidden hand had no intention of letting us exit the play too early."

Shuert’s weathered, wooden face twisted into an expression of grim agreement.

"I understand now. That explains why the sea monsters, who were so agitated before, stayed so quiet and didn't attack us."

Crisis, still gripping the mast ropes, suddenly realized the truth. "To be able to strike such terror into so many Tier 6 monsters... that power is truly terrifying."

"At the very least, it spared us a great deal of trouble, or we would have had to expend significant effort clearing the way."

Leo Ray raised an eyebrow, turning his gaze back toward the unknown region.

As he spoke, the darkness shrouding the mysterious land began to lift, revealing its true form.

It looked far more vast than the previous island. Leo Ray could even make out what appeared to be a dense cluster of docks, suggesting a massive port facility.

However, between the lingering shadows and the distance, even those with advanced night vision struggled to discern the finer details.

"Your Majesty, something is not right."

After studying the area, Bruno’s brow furrowed in confusion. "Those vessels are moored in a chaotic, disorganized fashion. There are no actual harbor structures to be seen; this doesn't look like a real port at all."

"If it isn't a port, then why are there so many strange ships gathered there?"

Xiao Jing tilted her head, her expression filled with bewilderment.

"Don't be impatient. We will have our answers once we draw closer."

Leo Ray signaled for silence with a wave of his hand, his focus remaining fixed on the mysterious zone.

As they sailed further, the confusion among the crew only deepened. The scene unfolding before them revealed an incredible variety of vessels.

At a glance, there were not just warships like their own, but also smaller fishing boats and merchant cogs. Beside them sat gargantuan, castle-like ships with masts so tall they seemed to scrape the heavens, leaving the entire team speechless.

Most shockingly, there was no land in sight. Even for miles ahead, there was nothing but a dense, interlocking sea of ships, their masts standing like a forest, swaying gently against one another with the rhythm of the waves.

"Lord, is it possible that the land we thought we saw is actually composed entirely of these ships?"

Xiao Jing’s eyes grew wide with disbelief, her face pale with shock. "A continent made of ships... it's completely unheard of!"

Upon hearing her words, everyone present shared her astonishment. Though the idea sounded like a fairy tale, the evidence before their eyes proved it was the reality.

Silence fell over the deck as a thousand questions raced through their minds.

If this was true, who could have constructed such a staggering monument? And for what possible reason?

Even in the records of the glorious Silver Moon Era of the Ten Thousand Clans, there was no mention of anything so bizarre.

In the center of the group, Leo Ray stood lost in thought.

He was less concerned with who had built this stage and more focused on why the invisible hand had brought them here.

Such effort had been spent to draw them in; it certainly wasn't just to show them a magnificent view.

"Your Majesty, it's true! There is no land—what we saw as shadows were nothing but endless ships!"

As Bruno’s stunned voice rang out, the fleet drew alongside the massive, interconnected vessels.

The closer they got, the more overwhelming the sight became.

Smaller boats were used as bridges and walkways, while the larger ships were lashed together to form vast, enclosed structures whose interiors and far ends remained hidden from view.

"This is becoming quite fascinating."

As they neared the edge of the mysterious structure, Leo Ray commanded all ships to prepare for docking.

Since this was clearly the heart of the mystery, they had no choice but to investigate.

Though tension hummed in his chest, a spark of excitement lit up Leo Ray's eyes.

While exploring a single derelict ship was a common adventure, exploring an entire realm fashioned from countless giant ships was an opportunity few would ever experience.

Once the vessels were secured, Leo Ray ordered a portion of the giant ships to maintain a defensive perimeter. Then, accompanied by over a hundred elite warriors, he leaped from the deck and landed firmly on an ancient, broad wooden surface.

The vessel they landed on appeared to be a massive cargo ship. Despite its traditional sail-based design, the deck was incredibly wide and stretched for several hundred meters.

After steadying himself, Leo Ray sent the warriors to scout the immediate area while he took in the view.

Standing upon it was far more surreal than seeing it from afar. This ancient vessel sat high in the water, providing a panoramic view of the surroundings.

In every direction, the world was a patchwork quilt of decks and cabin roofs, intricately fitted together in a pattern that seemed to have no end.

"Human Majesty, we have found something over here!"

Just as Leo Ray was marveling at the scale of the construction, Fanny’s clear voice called out to him.
