Chapter 138
As soon as the Sea of Sea Serpents arrived, they were welcomed with a big barrage of magically powered ballistas this time . There were huge blasts as soon as the Projectiles connected with these lizards . Their Meat was splattered everywhere, while the whole area was full of blood and gore . Swann was quite shocked after watching this sort of confrontation and how the sea serpents aggressively attacked the ships for the first time in his life . All the ships were organized and followed Blake's orders without any hesitation .
Mark one of the shooter said to Swann as he saw his shocked face, "Be focused kid, it would have been more bloodier if we didn't have these ballistas with us and this is also the reason why you were allowed to Join us . The seas are beautiful but it is also filled with dangers . You must always remember this .
The Sea Serpent leader was quite alarmed watching this situation and changed their directions as soon as they met a foe which they can't face, resist or end in mutual destruction .
Judd nodded as he guided his men, "Good, this is to all the men present here, new and old, It is always better to use full force against sea beasts or else they will devour you the moment they see a chance . Never show any mercy in these seas or lands . I want every one of you to keep this in mind . "
All of them roared as soon as they heard Judd, "Yes, Sir . "
Judd nodded as he heard them, "Good, There shouldn't be any hassles in our journey since you understand the importance of using full force . We will most likely reach the Island in 4-6 hours since we are going at 2x or 2 . 5x our pace and currently the winds are in our favor . Remember not to slack these 4-6 hours if we confront any new sea monster . "
Ross nodded as he saw the organization from Blake's men, "Hmm, you have a lot of capable men who are able to command and keep the men in order . I am quite surprised by their commanding abilities, how did you gather such capable men . "
Blake simply smiled and felt nostalgic as he spoke, "I have my ways . A lot of them have their own circumstances for joining me, however, remember this, none of them is a criminal so don't judge them by their appearances or the propaganda of aristocrats . As for them joining me, I guess they wanted shelter and I was the one who provided it to them by coincidence . Anyway, we are near our destination, we will reach in a few hours . Get your men ready for real confrontations when we land on that island because you don't know the real horrors of that island . "
Ross remarked as he looked at the gun on his belt, "It's okay, I am quite prepared this time around . Lord gave us a new weapon just in case we face something unpredictable like you mentioned this time around . "
Ross nodded and thought, 'Well those guns will come in handy if the situation is shaky or a bit dangerous . So there shouldn't be any worries here or on that Island . '

Judd soon spoke as he saw the familiar island which was full of life, "Apart from those Sea Serpents, We quite lucky to not face any dangers this time around reaching this island . "
Bran still reminded them, "Well if it was in the past then we would have already lost a lot of our men and attracted other predators because of blood when we faced those Sea serpents . They were only meek this time around because of the incredible force they faced because of the presence of Ballistae . "
Blake nodded as he didn't add anything .
Blake ordered them in an organized manner so that they can finish making the camp early on, "This island still hasn't changed, same old wild beasts roaming on the island . Men prepare and arm yourselves when you are making a camp on this island . You need to be careful of both, the small as well as big beasts . First, clear the shore of any wild beasts, Use ballistas, no need to hesitate for saving the projectiles . "
Ross stopped them and ordered his subordinate to hand every one of them the new guns and bullets, "Wait, before you guys land, take this weapon in case you find some beasts that are very hard to deal with . Practice it before you land . If you have any questions then you can ask my subordinates . This is the newly developed weapon which was recently developed by the arms workshop . you guys are the only ones who will be using it after Ghosts, So you can understand the importance and honor of using this weapon . The order on this island will be handled by my men while external threats on this island will be handled by Admiral Blake's men . Is everyone clear?"
Everyone roared as they heard Ross, "Yes Sir . "
Blake made a face as if he was disgusted by his own men, 'Damn, these guys are so obedient when this newbie is ordering them around meanwhile no one respects me when I am making a speech . '
Judd looked at Blake as Ross was ordering them around but didn't get any signal from Blake .
Blake thought as Judd saw him, 'Serves you right bitch . You will always be in the unknown about my plans . '
while Bran was smiling so he understood that this was already preplanned by both Ross and Blake . Judd thought and an angry face, 'Damn them, not informing me beforehand and keeping me in unknown . '
The innocent Swann asked Judd as he saw his grumpy face, "What Happened Captain Judd, why is your face a bit angry? Do you want to go to the toilet and hence making an angry face?"
Blake and Bran laughed as soon as he heard him but didn't bother to correct him .
Blake then ordered Swann to get back to his Gun training and made a way out for Judd from this embarrassing situation, "Swann go back to your Gun training . The seas were only the starter . be prepared if you don't want to die on this island . "
Judd asked them as Ross's speech was finished, "Meanwhile, What is the name of this island?"
Ross spoke as he heard Judd, "Well, this island will be named Aurora island as northlands are quite an anomaly as explained by Lord and hence the name chosen for his next city . "
Judd nodded as he quite liked the new name of this island, "Quite a refreshing name, Good, I like it . Remember this, guys, from now on this island will be called Aurora Island or Aurora city when we develop it into a city . You understand, right?"
One of the men commented as he heard Judd, "Good, so this will be called Aurora Island from now on . "
Judd ordered as he saw the men gossiping, "Anyway, get back to work, no slacking . Train well with these guns and then build the camp . You can have your time after we establish a good base here . There will be a lot of beasts attack so be careful . Place the Ballistas in the right place and keep them loaded with magical Projectiles . Shoot them without any hesitation as this will establish our dominance on this island quite early . You understand?"
Everyone agreed to him as they heard Judd's speech, "Yes, sir . "
The men knew that Judd had been here the last time and know a lot about this island and hence they took his words seriously .
Judd sighed and continued as he watched the beautiful island and thought nostalgically while addressing his men, "This island hasn't changed a bit . Beautiful but dangerous, we were quite unlucky the last time . The same old mountain in the center of this island and rivers flowing from north to west and south to east . It's good we have landed in the North-western area of the island this time . We can very well hide from the eastern patrols of the dwarven kingdom . Well, we didn't explore the island fully, this time it will be different . We won't be prey but predators this time around . "
