We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

When he heard the name Carles, Shane suddenly became energetic.

It is a joy in itself to hear a familiar name in this strange [Ultra North Island].

What's more, on the way here, Shane was worried about Carles' safety.

——As the first batch of reinforcements to arrive in [The Far North], Carles and others must have faced an extremely difficult situation.

It is undoubtedly a joy to hear the news that Carles is still safe and sound.

It didn't take long.

Under the leadership of this officer, Xia En and his party passed through a temporary iron-gray defense line and officially entered the [Far North Expeditionary Force] station.

Behind the fortifications made of metal and ice are artillery pieces with advanced styles and extremely large calibers.

The black muzzle, the streamlined barrel made of steel, and the strange patterns carved on the surface of the artillery... all give people a faint sense of oppression and threat.

One can imagine what an astonishing sight it will be once this steel behemoth wakes up and reveals its fangs.

Xia En had never seen this type of magic pattern cannon several times on [Liu Li Island].

Obviously, in order to deal with this disaster, federal officials really came up with many good things that were at the bottom of the box.

They are the creations that condense the essence of the most advanced technology and secrets of this era!

Xia En couldn't help but think that Feiya would be very excited if she saw this kind of heavy artillery, right?

Fei Ya has a mysterious love for this type of guns, and he is often responsible for the maintenance of the Black Swan's guns.

However, after thinking about it, Xia En was a little worried. In such an extreme environment as [the Far North], many equipment designed to operate at normal temperatures will undoubtedly be affected a lot.

Can these heavy artillery really fire normally?

"Um?"

Thinking of this, Xia En glanced at these artillery pieces strangely.

Only then did he realize that instead of ice crystals condensing on the surface of these cannons, there was actually a stream of steam coming out?

What's going on?

After taking a closer look, Xia En suddenly realized.

It turned out that under the magic pattern cannon, there was a layer of steam pipes emitting high temperature.

The temperature escaping from the pipes fights against the cold air, allowing these heavy artillery to remain in normal working condition and ready to fire.

Noticing Xia En's gaze, the officer leading the way took the initiative to speak.

"For this expedition, the Federation mobilized a large number of priests and mechanics from the Church of Steam and spent a lot of effort to meet the basic heating needs on the [Far North Island]."

Xia En nodded: "That's it."

"That's still hard work."

Speaking of which, although Xia En has a close relationship with Feiya and Carles, his understanding of the Church of Steam is quite limited, and he has never even been to a church of the Church of Steam.

So at this time, he also had some curiosity about this church that he had not had before.

In addition to the heavy artillery cluster, the [Far North Expeditionary Force] station also has tanks and groups of soldiers.

Further away, there are tents connected one after another, and the barracks are connected into one piece.

Obviously, that was the camp where the expeditionary force temporarily lived.

However, the residence of the federal navy is obviously divided into two areas with the reinforcements from other forces.

Otherwise, if they are mixed together, it will become more difficult to manage.

And soon, Xia En noticed that the chariots and soldiers passing by were all in a hurry and had solemn expressions.

Some camps seemed particularly empty, and the people inside seemed to have been sent out to perform some kind of mission.

It felt to Xia En as if something big had happened, causing quite a commotion in the [Far North Expeditionary Force].

Seeing this, Xia En simply asked the officer leading the way.

"What happened?"

The officer hesitated for a moment and then said: "Just now, several legendary strongmen in the camp suddenly left and headed in the same direction."

"It is speculated above that an extremely powerful enemy appeared in the [Far North], which is why the legendary powerhouses chose to attack together."

Hearing this, Xia En couldn't help but change his face slightly.

"A very powerful enemy?"

Just imagining an enemy that could allow so many legendary strong men to take action at the same time gave one a chill in one's heart.

At this time, Shane quickly thought of Musa and Heller's strange reactions.

Integrate with this message.

It is not difficult to guess that the reason why Heller sent them off in advance was probably related to that powerful enemy.

It was done to protect them.

Thinking of this, Xia En's expression became more solemn.

It can be said that Musa and Heller are already the strongest people Xia En has seen except Yan Yan and Augustine.

However, even the two of them did not have much confidence when facing the unknown enemy.

This is enough to illustrate the seriousness of the situation.

"What exactly could that enemy be?"

Xia En secretly guessed in his heart: "It's impossible for [Huisi Ming] to take action himself, right?"

"Could it be the [Apostle of Dirt and Chaos]?"

"Or is it a [filthy creature] sleeping under the ice?"

However, it is obviously impossible to know the truth just by guessing.

Xia En suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and quickly followed the officer's footsteps.

Not long after.

The group of people came to a special barracks.

This barracks is obviously taller and more closed. The walls seem to be made of some special metal with extraordinary secret power.

Seeing the group of people coming, the guard at the door of the barracks immediately said.

"Captain Shane, please wait a moment."

"Captain Carlles is doing maintenance and debugging."

Shane nodded and said, "Okay."

While waiting, Shane silently observed the soldiers coming and going nearby.

To his surprise, the soldiers seemed to respect Carlles' barracks very much.

Occasionally, there was a hint of awe in their eyes when they looked into the house.

Because of Carlles's order, they treated Shane and others very politely, without any arrogant attitude.

Shane thought this was related to the identity of Daisy's brother and sister.

But now it seems that they only do this because of "Carles".

This can't help but make Shane feel a little curious.

After all, in the federal navy, the military position of "captain" is not too high.

Even among the soldiers coming and going, there were many lieutenants and second lieutenants, but they all showed an attitude of being convinced and obedient to Carlles.

This seemed particularly strange.

Before Shane could figure out the reason behind this.

Hiss——

Accompanied by the sound of steam gushing, the door of the barracks slowly opened.

What rushed towards him was a large group of white hot steam.

The temperature of the steam quickly dispelled the chill around and brought a sense of warmth to people.

And in the vast steam, a slender and straight figure slowly walked out.

"Captain Shane, we finally meet again."

Carles' familiar voice came out of the steam first.

However, after seeing her appearance at this moment, Shane couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Behind Shane, Daisy couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Carles, you, your hand..."

At this time, Carlles' entire right arm was no longer the slender and soft style of the past, but became particularly rough and wild.

It was at least three or four times bigger than before, and looked a bit bulky.

The color of this right arm also turned into dark black, with some ice blue and dark red bloodstains.

The whole mechanical arm was out of tune with Carlles's body, and looked extremely uncoordinated.

It seemed to have undergone some kind of violent modification that seemed to disregard coordination and durability.

Not only that, there were many scars and traces of modification on Carlles' body.

Compared with the last time they met, she installed more than double the steam cores, and most of the components were replaced.

More steam cores mean more powerful power and strength, but it will also bring greater burden to Carlles.

When this burden reaches a certain level, it may even completely scrap Carlles, and the soul hidden in the steam armor will disappear.

The previous strengthening of Carlles has always maintained a gradual process.

It is for this reason.

Ordinary machinery may be permanently damaged due to overload, not to mention a unique life form like Carlles.

In Shane's eyes, Carlles's aura has exceeded the sixth level and is approaching the legendary level.

But this state is obviously extremely unstable.

To make an inappropriate analogy.

This is like the magic skills in the immortal cultivation novels. The short-term strength improvement is extremely rapid, but it will bring extremely serious sequelae.

Not to mention the unstable realm, it may even collapse and die at any time.

Feeling Shane's gaze, Carlles felt a little guilty for some reason, but still pretended to be indifferent and waved his hand and said.

"Last time I fought a big guy, I accidentally broke my hand, so I can only use this arm to replace it."

"It's a bit ugly, but it's still very useful, and it's much more powerful than the one I had before."

Shae frowned and said, "I don't want to ask about this arm."

"Why did you suddenly make such a high-intensity transformation?"

"You should know that by doing this, you will..."

Carles waved his hand, indicating that all other soldiers should withdraw.

After everyone else left, Karles said seriously: "Shane, this is my own decision, it has nothing to do with others."

"I need strength to save my father, and I also need strength to deal with this disaster."

"If there is no strength, even my father's old subordinates will not obey my orders."

Shane raised his eyebrows: "Old subordinates?"

Hearing this, he suddenly understood why those officers had a special attitude towards Karles.

Karles is the "adopted daughter" of the legendary Colonel Gold, and in a sense, she is also an extension of Gold's will.

It is not difficult to guess that there must be many factions within the Federal Navy.

Originally, there was a group of soldiers who gathered around Gold as the core.

Now that Gold and the [King] have disappeared, his old subordinates naturally need a backbone to maintain this faction.

As Gold's adopted daughter, Karles is undoubtedly a good choice.

But before this, Karles's strength was obviously not enough to convince the public, and she might even be fooled and manipulated as a puppet.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of this that Carlles would improve his strength regardless of the cost in order to gain the support of these soldiers.

In fact, Carlles did succeed.

She was first transformed by several mechanics of the Steam Church, and then she showed an extremely heroic attitude on the battlefield.

Her right arm was completely damaged in that battle, but this also established the reputation of Carlales [Platinum Knight].

Many officers remembered this name and were convinced by her.

Now, Carlales is doing is to gather the strength of these officers and find the missing [King] as soon as possible.

Although Shane didn't know so many hidden secrets, he still vaguely guessed Carlales's intention.

Although he understood, he was still a little depressed.

It was because of his importance to Carlales that he had such emotions.

"Let's not talk so much."

Carlales smiled and said, "You must be exhausted after rushing all the way here?"

"My living environment here is slightly better than that of ordinary military camps. You can rest here..."

Suddenly, Carlales paused.

The communicator directly connected to the helmet rang.

"What? News about the King?"

"What's going on?"

Shayne and the others couldn't hear the words in the communicator, but they could see her emotional changes from the steam spewing from Carlles' body.

The flashing indicator light showed that Carlles's emotions were definitely not calm.

After a moment, Carlles ended the communication.

She stood there silently for a long time without saying anything.

Daisy couldn't help asking: "Carles, what happened?"

"Is there any news about the King?"

"...Yes."

The voice coming from the sound device was quite difficult, but Carlles continued.

"It has been confirmed that several legends just now acted for the appearance of the King."

"Huh?"

Alessio raised his eyebrows: "Action for the King? What does this mean?"

"Didn't they say that a powerful enemy has awakened in the Far North?"

Carles paused and said.

"That powerful enemy is the King."

Hearing this, not only Daisy's siblings, but even Shane couldn't help but look surprised.

What does this mean?

Could it be that the [King] has become a living ship like the [Black Swan]?

But even so, it shouldn't have attracted the attention of so many powerful people, right?

Or could a ship actually reach the level of surpassing the eighth-level secret pather?

Shane calmed down and asked seriously: "What exactly is going on?"

Carles suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and explained to everyone.

"According to the battle report from the front line, an unprecedented terrifying undead has occupied the body of the [King] and turned the [King] into a part of its body."

"Based on the characteristics observed now, it can be confirmed..."

"That is - the undead of [Dayan Kingdom]!"
