Galaxy Domination Guide

The sails cut through the waves as the Shangduohan sailors bustled about on deck.

Even though the living conditions on the ship were harsh, with their diet consisting of tough roasted biscuits and dried salt fish, and relying on sour, nausea-inducing lemons to prevent scurvy, unable to bathe for months, reeking terribly, their income was much higher than that of the average citizen in Shangduohan, and they were part of the undefeated Navy of the Shangduohan Kingdom.

"Hey, I wonder what exactly happened in Infia, I bet it was those sneaky bastards from Belverin who ambushed the place."

"How is that possible? Those landlubbers from Belverin are too scared by us to dare set sail!"

"Ah, I hope it's just a false alarm, I really miss the barbarian women from Infia, they taste nothing like the women from Shangduohan."

"Maybe it was the barbarians who took over our city."

"Even better, we'll blast those barbarians to smithereens, then take away their women!"

The Shangduohan Kingdom's Navy wasn't much different from pirates, even today, when encountering merchant ships from other countries, they would brazenly charge a "protection fee" and often take up to half of the cargo, no different from piracy.

It was precisely because of the Shangduohan people's penchant for plundering that other kingdoms of the Northern Continent, who considered themselves more civilized, like Belverin, dubbed it the Pirate Kingdom.

As the sailors were discussing, a figure suddenly flew over their heads. It seemed to be a female Mage in a green cloak, and a young sailor below couldn't help but whistle.

Immediately, a naval officer rushed over and kicked the kid in the butt.

"You idiot, that's a respected Mage up there, if you offend her and she takes your life, I won't care, but if her magic damages the ship, dying a hundred times still wouldn't be enough to atone! You're on latrine duty for a week, you fool!"

Fortunately, the female Wind Element Mage flying in the sky hadn't heard the whistle below and continued onward.

They were already very close to the docks of Infia, at most only about thirty or forty nautical miles away. The Wind Riding Technique used by Wind Element Mages didn't allow them to fly very quickly, because due to their weight, they flew even slower than normal birds, so this distance wasn't short and required a long time to cover.

Additionally, Wind Element Mages had limited mana and couldn't sustain flight for too long, so reconnaissance was typically done only after getting closer.

Yiyunya strained to control her flight on the wind, highly resenting the task she had been assigned. Despite being a esteemed Mage, she still had to follow the orders of officers on the battlefield. Nowadays, in order to maintain their status, Mages had to work more closely with the royal forces, which meant they had to do the dirty and tiring work that they used to disdain.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In the sky, Yiyunya could already make out the outline of the coastal outlines; she had been to Infia once before and remembered many ships docked at the harbor. But what she saw clearly now was that not a single sailboat remained in the port. The city walls also appeared different, with some unrecognizable buildings that were not at all in Shangduohan style emerging in various parts of the city.

"What's going on?" Yiyunya wondered with great curiosity, intending to get a bit closer to see. However, she was also cautious, not wanting to get too close, just in case there were hostile Mages or Prophets of the barbarians inside the city. As a mid-level Wind Element Mage, she might be at risk.

Although every country has policies that favor Mages, on the real battlefield, Mages always encounter various accidents, losing their precious lives.

As Yiyunya was preparing to approach, suddenly a person in silver armor sprang out from the ground. Yiyunya was shocked; the person's flying speed was even faster than her Wind Riding Technique. She immediately suspected that this was a Wind Element Mage even stronger than herself, but she did not sense any fluctuations of the elements.

The person's target was her. In her urgency, Yiyunya released two wind blades, the most skilled attacking method of a Wind Element Mage.

The newcomer did not dodge or block, allowing the two wind blades to slice towards him.

Yiyunya thought with delight, "This fool is so arrogant. I am a Wind Element Mage who has mastered the mysteries of the Wind Element. My wind blades can slice through steel armor, and he actually thinks he can withstand my wind blades with his silver armor. He is truly seeking death."

However, when the azure wind blades struck the person, they only made a 'puh' sound, and the person in silver armor continued to fly towards Yiyunya without slowing down.

Only then did Yiyunya become truly panic-stricken, but it was already too late to escape. The Wind Riding Technique was already very inflexible in terms of mobility, yet the person in silver armor flew through the air with agility that surpassed even birds.

The person in silver armor charged up, landing a hand-chop on the back of Yiyunya's neck, knocking the female Wind Element Mage unconscious. Then, he carried Yiyunya by the waist and descended to the ground.

Standing on the coastal city wall and observing, Xiao Yu immediately waved his hand and said, "Inform His Majesty that we have captured another Wind Element Mage. It is expected that the Black Flag Fleet has several Star Warriors, which should yield a good harvest."

Ji You smiled and said, "These Star Warriors with little insight, after being brought back to Ruyi City, will soon be subdued. However, if His Majesty truly commands a Star Warrior Corps, the effects would be unimaginable. If we could also gain the loyalty of some Star Warriors..."

Xiao Yu interrupted him, "Don't even think about such things. The Chancellor's authority is increasingly significant, and he would not allow such behavior among his subordinates. Remember, only by serving the Chancellor effectively will you achieve success and gain more benefits."

Ji You quickly responded, "Boss is absolutely right."

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "That's about it. There's no need to wait for them to send another wave of scouting Mages. Now, order the armed landing crafts to take off. We're going to send the Shangduohan people's Black Flag Fleet to the bottom of the sea."

Lai Zhicun asked, "What about the Star Warriors in the Black Flag Fleet? If we open fire on them, these Star Warriors might also die outright."

Xiao Yu had naturally considered this, saying, "Send a few Bionic Humans to fly above. If they encounter anyone casting magic, they can go down and capture them. We have no reason to ruin the attack operation for a few Star Warriors. Catch as many as we can; if the ships sink and they fall into the sea, we can recover them later."

Following Xiao Yu's command, four armed landing crafts ascended into the sky. These landing crafts weren't particularly large, capable of carrying over a hundred Mobile Soldiers, and had the most basic self-defense firepower—two 1WM-caliber Railguns.

A single shot from these Railguns had slightly more power than the explosive equivalent of 10 tons of TNT, basically the same as a small tactical nuclear weapon. Naturally, this was the maximum output power of a 1WM Railgun, but it could also use lower power to shoot projectiles or use lighter projectiles.
