Chapter 377: Siblings Meet At Last, King of the Deep Sea World!
“Lord…”
“I already said not to call me lord, call me commander!”
In a small but luxuriously decorated study room.
A tall murloc roughly 1.6 meters tall and dressed in armor knelt on one knee.
His eyes were full of perseverance. There were scars of various sizes left on his face from the wars he fought.
Judging from his temperament, he should be a brave and skillful warrior. However, after hearing the voice that traveled over from the desk, it was obvious that…
He shuddered!
“Yes, commander! As you wish!”
“What’s the matter? Go ahead and tell me!”
After he heard that the man at the desk was not angry, the murloc warrior finally stopped trembling. However, he still did not dare to raise his head and continued to respond respectfully.
“Commander, our ninth formation has successfully taken over Great Imperial Capital, while the fourth formation has also taken over Heavenly Seas Metropolis. That includes the thirteenth formation that has reconvened in Kyamaja Island.
“Now the majority of the scattered guards have already retreated to the back of Zhadu Strait, with most of them assembled at both Nattler Bay and Zyfigas Fishing Port.
“The enemies of the church have also given up their positions and retreated to Daya Archipelago.”
“Do you want to continue advancing? We could push their front lines back, take down their material distribution points, and eliminate them in one move!”
Zhadu Strait was located at the bottom right of the Deep Sea World map. After crossing this strait—passing through several bays and Daya Archipelago—it would finally be connected to land.
Being able to force the people who had been living in the deep sea for generations to this point was an indicator that this war was coming to an end.
The murloc warrior was afraid because he knew. He knew that from the beginning of this war until the moment that it was about to end, it merely lasted…
Sixty-three days!
The reason why it was able to operate so fast was not that the fleets that went on expeditions were fearless, nor was it due to how cooperative the people down below were. Neither was it because of the various legendary individuals who joined in the war halfway.
The main reason was still…
The commander!
“This isn’t urgent. How far is the person that I asked you to pick up from the metropolis?”
The murloc warrior was slightly surprised when he heard the commander’s words, but he reacted promptly and said with respect, “Commander, the person you’re looking for has already boarded the returning ship three days ago. If all goes well, he’ll arrive at the metropolis latest by this afternoon!”
“Good! When this is over, I’ll award you for your great service!”
The murloc warrior did not immediately raise his head. He continued to respond in utmost respect even when he heard the sounds of footsteps in front of him and felt a pair of big warm hands on his shoulders.
However, the owner of those hands lifted his head forcibly and a happy face appeared in his line of sight.
This person was Su Mo!
“Okay, Fish One, for our upcoming attacks, try not to start our final battle before our Academy of Sciences manages to innovate their technology.
“Right now, they still have the last food production harbor, so don’t rush to attack. Find a way to destroy it with bombs and let them fall into starvation.
“When the time comes, I’ll join the fight personally!”
Fish One quivered and there was a hint of joy on his face as he heard the words “join the fight personally”.
“Now go and pass on my order. I’ll be receiving honorable guests who are arriving soon, so bring me all the delicious food and wine that we’ve gathered recently!
“Also, from now on the metropolis under our control will have a feast lasting three days and all consumption will be discounted by 20%! I want everyone to celebrate with me!”
“Yes, commander!”
Fish One finally relaxed himself and grinned broadly when he realized Su Mo was in a good mood.
Then, under Su Mo’s instruction, Fish One respectfully retreated and left the very stylish study room.
“These two months have not been easy. I can finally see my little sister!”
He closed the door as he watched Fine One’s figure disappear into a corner of the courtyard. Su Mo stretched his back, returned to the chair in front of the table, and sat down comfortably.
At the upper right corner of Su Mo’s line of sight, at this moment on the leaderboard, the points that trailed behind General Xing Daorong’s name had risen to nearly ten million.
Xing Daorong’s identity has also gone through earth-shattering changes—the King of Deep Sea World; the God of the Ocean’s embodiment; legendary captain; legendary thane; the creator of the epic battle; captain of the rebels; he was richer than an entire nation, and was on the Ten Stars wanted list.
He had seven identities. However, if any one of them were to be taken and given to those at the end of the leaderboard—those who only had ten million points at most—it would be enough for them to turn over a new leaf and become an upstart in the Deep Sea World.
“The commander’s decree, find out how many permissions from Poseidon do I currently have.”
[Dear Ocean Commander Su Mo, the number of permissions you can currently use is: 4(medium), 2(small)]
“Huh? Doesn’t winning battles award big permissions anymore?”
“What a shame. if I knew earlier, I would’ve pushed ahead later..”
He waved his hand to hide the interface.
Su Mo seemed to complain as he saw the schedule table displayed on the table, but he had a smile on his face.
Everything was faster than he expected. In only sixty-three days, the vast territory of the Deep Sea World was already in the bag.
Although he exploited so many bugs that they flew all over the place while shamelessly using Poseidon’s permission, this sense of achievement that arose from his constant victories felt…
Extremely satisfactory!
Since becoming a free thane, the commander’s decree would grant him a certain degree of permission from Poseidon after every battle, starting from the first war that involved 2000 people.
It was exactly because of these permissions which allowed Su Mo to develop a huge foundation from scratch in merely sixty days, and transit fleets of ships directly to all parts of the Deep Sea World.
Using permission was the default of the game.
Therefore, while Su Mo used it recklessly, his enemies also suffered miserably.
He put away the thoughts in his head and tidied the table. He placed all the documents into a cabinet and locked them up. Then, Su Mo got up, strode towards the door to open it, and walked out.
In terms of space, the courtyard was not very big.
However, in terms of luxury, whether it was the pearls that could be found everywhere or the magical corals with varied colors, it had illustrated how extraordinary the owner’s identity was.
He walked out of the study room and went straight, passing through a small garden. As he turned around at the corner, he had a moment of epiphany.
In here, there was an open-air hot spring that was flooded with steaming hot air.
At the end of the hot spring, the vast sea stretched over an endless horizon!
“Shrimp soldier, go and bring me a new set of clothes, I have to meet some important individuals today!”
“Yes, commander!”
He watched as the shrimp soldier that stood guard at the entrance of the hot spring left, quickly took off his clothes, and happily jumped into the hot spring.
After a long while, the hot spring relieved his body of exhaustion. After he changed into the new clothes the shrimp soldiers brought, Su Mo quickly walked to the kitchen and prepared food with the cook.
Two months of hard work were spent at the wasteland, and another two months were spent fighting in various places in the Deep Sea World.
In total, he had been separated from his sister for four months.
If this time had occurred on Earth, it would not be as bad as they would have only spent the equivalent of one school semester not seeing each other.
However, in an environment where danger lurked every day, Su Mo’s mind was occupied by Su Chan’s energetic figure as he absent-mindedly made the meal.
“Commander, you should go rest, we can handle this!”
The cook noticed that Su Mo was lost in his thoughts—he threw away the delicious turbot fish meat and placed the unseasoned head into the pot. The cook next to him was concerned as she noticed Su Mo’s unusual behavior and kindly stepped forward to check on him.
“No… it’s okay, I can do this…”
After the cook “woke him up”, Su Mo smiled embarrassingly. Just as he was about to explain himself, he noticed the figure of the crab guardian appearing of the corner of his eye.
At this time, there would only be one reason why the crab had come!
At this moment, Su Mo did not care to explain anymore, he straight away chucked the casserole pot in his hands aside. Before the crab could come forward, Su Mo grabbed onto the crab guardian’s hug claws and hurriedly asked, “Is she here?”
“Capt— she’s here!”
Just like carbonated drinks meeting Mentos, a happy sweetness burst out the moment they touched!
Very well!
It was an affirmative sentence!
Su Mo left behind the crab guardian, who was walking horizontally, before striding forward at a fast pace. He no longer cared about maintaining a dignified appearance as the commander and went straight toward the door.
From the kitchen to the front door, he needed to pass through three gardens.
Su Mo was proud that he came up with this design, but at this moment, he wished that he could tear down the gardens.
Fortunately, as he strode through the second garden and turned the corner, Su Mo finally saw the figure that invaded his mind day and night as she stood in front of a blooming Seasoul Flower.
“Su Chan!”
“Hey! Big Brother! Over here!”
Su Chan jumped in shock when she heard Su Mo’s roaring shout, but when she got back to her senses, she beamed out a surprised smile that blossomed like the Seasoul Flower!
She stood up gently, the flower buds beside her shook gently as if they were cheering for this moment.
In the next second, she flew into the air!
Su Mo sent her into the air and hugged her!
“Why are you so slow? You should have come sooner when you saw your big brother on the leaderboard!
“If you were any slower, I would’ve destroyed the whole Deep Sea World!”
She seemed to sense the tension in Su Mo’s words.
Being held in midair by Su Mo, Su Chan gently shook her head and said nothing. Instead, she just increased the grip of her hug by another level.
Su Mo felt her strength without fail.
This was the connection between bloodlines. It was the connection that traversed two civilizations; not even the endless space could put distance between them.
As though a big brother who hurried back after a huge earthquake, just to see his little sister who was living well and safe at home.
No words or verbal expressions could describe his excitement.
At this moment, silence was the best description.
After hugging each other for four to five minutes straight, Su Chan finally broke out of Su Mo’s embrace.
She followed with a sentence that instantly changed Su Mo’s expression.
“Big Brother, there’s an incident at the wasteland, and it’s not a small matter!”
“Oh? What happened!”
“I have an ability to talk to animals, and I can create a soul contract with them to a certain extent.
“Previously on Tunder One, not only did I contract with a lot of animals on board, I also contracted with quite a few Treasure Fish.”
“Yet, since yesterday, all of the Treasure Fish broke our contract almost simultaneously.. Other animals on the ship started to show signs of breaking off our contract too!”
