Volume 5 Chapter 98 The royal fleet was very poor

“Dear Remito, are you serious?”

The Candra Empire’s royal fleet chief of staff Chrysler Isler put down the document in his hand and knit his brows to look at Remito Russell in front of him with a confused look.

The vice chief of staff in front of him was the subordinate he always respected the most. Everyone thought that after he retired, there wouldn’t be a second candidate for the next chief of staff.

There were many times that he felt relieved in letting Russell take care of the chief of staff’s job. It was to one, test Russell and two, prepare Russell for the chief of staff job in the future.

Russell had always handled things very well and never made any careless mistakes, which made chief Isler satisfied and assured.

But this, the report that he handed made chief Isler…..feel a bit weird after reading it.

What a joke!

The Candra Empire’s navy was facing its most serious crisis in history?

If it didn’t make any immediate changes, they would lose complete control of the surrounding seas?

This was simply fear mongering!

On the continent, other than the Marlow Empire, there wasn’t a single country’s navy that could threaten the Candra Empire’s navy! There were many countries that didn’t even have a navy!

What made chief Isler more surprised and what he found even funnier was that in this report, the biggest threat actually came from…..an unknown Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard fleet!

Seeing these words on the report, chief Isler almost spat out the tea in his mouth.

It was just a company, how were they qualified to be compared to the Candra Empire’s royal fleet? How could they even pose a threat?

However, after training and trusting Russell for years, chief Isler slowly calmed down in the end.

Russell had been his subordinate for twenty years and he fully understood Russell. He knew that Russell wasn’t something who said things lightly and knew Russell’s sincere loyalty to the Candra Empire’s navy.

Since he handed in this report so seriously, it definitely wasn’t fear mongering.

Not to mention that this was such a thick report, if it was all nonsense, that would be impossible.

But after he finished reading the report, chief Isler fell into a state of deep thought.

He believed that the report that Russell handed in was real because there was no need for Russell to lie to him.

But if this report was real, then if the guard fleet of that whatever Frestech Chamber of Commerce had this terrifying strength, it would be too shocking.

It was acceptable if it was said that the ship was completely made of iron, but a ship that was several hundred tons and was even bigger than the Thunderclap Ship was just a fantasy.

Chief Isler thought for a long time and was unable to imagine what the ship that was “bigger than the Thunderclap Ship that was completely made of steel, with a streamlined appearance that was completely white” would look like.

Moreover, ignoring the appearance, the various new things that were described in the report, the “Magic Cannon”, the “Magic Repeating Crossbows”, and the “Magic Fire Arrows”, just what kind of things were those?

Chief Isler had heard of magic weapons before, but weren’t those things that only super powerful mages would have? How could this Frestech Chamber of Commerce have so many of them?

Moreover, based on the might of these military magic machines from the report, they were even stronger than the magic weapons of legends.

If even a Thunderclap Ship couldn’t last five minutes under this attack, perhaps this Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard fleet really was as the report described them, being able to move unhindered on the seas.

Thinking of this, chief Isler suddenly remembered that he had received this report before. There was a mysterious fleet that had appeared on the southern seas, attacking pirates. The pirates had been completely scattered and the seas had become much more peaceful.

This mysterious fleet, could it be the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard fleet?

“Sir Chrysler, I am very serious.” Russell looked at chief Isler with a serious look and slowly nodded, “Actually, just from this report, you can’t feel the same shock I felt from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard fleet. In the half a month we were together, I personally watched them destroy pirates one after another, being directly affected by the might they displayed. I’m certain that this fleet has even surpassed this era. If we don’t react fast enough and the Marlow Empire discovers this fleet, getting the same kinds of ships, we won’t be able to fight back when we face the Marlow Empire on the seas.”
