"There seems to be something amiss."

Fang Yu walked along the beach of Southeast Stone Island, his gaze fixed on the sea ahead.

There were noticeably more warships at the dock.

Someone had gone up to these warships' captains to ask about their affiliations and their reasons for coming.

But these warship captains, with friendly and natural smiles, started talking about their origins.

"I have no affiliation, coming here alone; I wish to participate in the war in East Ring Sea Region."

"I am also one of the Blue Star Captains and aware of everyone's current situation; the war is about to begin, and I need to contribute my share."

These captains, with clear eyes and sincere demeanor, seemed genuinely to be idealists who traveled far to support the war by entering this sea region.

"We are not driven by personal gain; we only wish to help everyone to jointly resist the Divine Hall Alliance Army."

A group of warship-level captains cheerfully spoke to the passersby.

Some believed them, but others sensed something was amiss.

Fang Yu looked at these warship captains, feeling a vague sense of unease.

If only one or two warship captains arrived here out of dreams, wanting to help other less powerful captains strengthen the war effort, Fang Yu would believe them.

But now, a total of fifty warships had arrived.

Warships... are not like common items on the street; they represent the ceiling ordinary captains can reach.

Such a large number of warships arriving on Southeast Stone Island on the same day, all claiming to be here to offer help, seems a bit like self-deception.

Not quite right.

Soon, a few hours later, more warships appeared on the horizon, sailing and docking at Southeast Stone Island.

This was the second batch of warships arriving at Southeast Stone Island, numbering more than forty.

"Why have you come?"

Someone spoke, increasingly sensing something was off.

"Brother, we have all come from afar as captains to support the war."

"From now on, we are comrades together against the Divine Hall Alliance Army."

This person smiled broadly.

But at that moment, a local captain from Qiyun Port, after eyeing this person skeptically for a while, suddenly spoke: "Hey, I know you. You seem to be Du Miao, once a genius civilian captain. A year ago, you were unparalleled, but after advancing to warship level, you faded away, blending into the crowd."

"After a year of mediocrity, you were recruited by the Lin Clan, becoming one of its members, and are now working for them."

"You are not idealistic, enthusiastic captains, but instead, the Lin Clan's subordinates!"

This person said loudly, quickly exposing the lie.

"When you say it like that, it does seem true. I've seen many captains who once made it to the combat rankings but then blended into the background. They were recruited by the major corporations, seeking the chance to enter the Extraordinary Domain!"

Everyone quickly came to their senses, glancing amongst the warships.

Warship captains aren't common, so upon careful investigation, they were all once famous, known captains who had just slipped into obscurity for too long.

After their identities were exposed, Du Miao, the warship captain, still maintained a bright smile on his face, though his eyes had turned somewhat cold.

He kept smiling, speaking seriously: "Brother, don't speak carelessly. We are here full of passion to assist the war."

"Such wild speculation would chill everyone's hearts, possibly pushing them to leave in anger."

"Don't become the sinner of the Southern Island Sea Region, driving away the enthusiastic captains!"

As he spoke further, his tone softened, and the smile became somewhat gloomy, causing the captain from Qiyun Port, who had recognized him, to recoil in fear and quickly vanish into the crowd.

...

"Lin Clan's people?"

"Then that other batch must belong to another corporation..."

"Why did these two corporations suddenly gather so many warship captains here? They definitely have some ulterior motives."

Fang Yu stood on a distant rocky outcrop, watching the bustling port, pondering internally.

These warship-level captains come with ill intentions, their objectives far from simple.

Their target is undoubtedly resources, the sole driving force behind corporate actions.

But what kind of resources precisely is debatable.

If they aim to eliminate the Divine Envoy of the Divine Pillar, that's good.

However, if they seek other resources...

What other resources can they possibly pursue?

Could it be...

"Regardless, it's necessary to be cautious. This matter must be planned for to avoid falling into a passive situation."

Fang Yu murmured, swiftly leaving the beach, avoiding further commotion.

...

In the subsequent two days, as these two fleets gradually arrived, other corporations naturally sensed something was off.

Some corporations began dispatching warships to support Southeast Stone Island.

No matter the reasons these two fleets arrived, they likely harbor an unspoken agenda.

Putting other things aside, deploying forces ensures that if something arises, their side's strength will qualify to share the benefits.

Other corporations began leveraging relationships to analyze the reasons behind these two fleets' appearances, seeking to uncover what benefits may arise.

Warship captains continued to sail in, and unfamiliar faces appeared on Southeast Stone Island.

"If these people sincerely wish to help Blue Star Captain confront the danger, what is there to fear the growing might of the Divine Hall Alliance Army?"
