Chapter 807: No need to refer to oneself as an official.
Kante picked up the shield and waved it in his hand, feeling how light it was!
The Saronite wasn't as heavy as ordinary steel. It actually felt quite lightweight when held in the hand. Moreover, after Robb gave it a rub, it no longer had that unpleasant "sinister" feeling.
Kante couldn't help but say, "What kind of strange metal is this? It feels like something fragile with weak defense."
From a warrior's perspective, equipment that is too lightweight can indeed give a sense of fragility and unreliability, so it's not surprising for Kante to feel that way.
Robb smiled and said, "Feeling light doesn't mean it's fragile. Captain Americas shield is also very light, but that thing is incredibly hard and defies the laws of physics. Anyway, you'll know when you try it in the next battle."
Just as they were discussing this, the two Maya chiefs who had recently left the mine turned back and ran towards them, shouting as they ran, "Ships! They are coming again!"
"Hmm?"
The sentry on the northeast watchtower also shouted loudly, "Ships approaching the shore! They're ships from the Kingdom of Gran! Haha, that's great! It's a fleet from the Kingdom of Gran, with five large warships and many transport ships."
After the translation of the sentry's words, the Maya people breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought that the three Norma ships had returned, but it turned out to be ships from their good friends, the Kingdom of Gran. They felt much relieved.
Robb laughed and said, "It looks like queens fleet has arrived. Now we can occupy the harbor left by those Norma people. Let's all go and take a look."
The group left the mine and headed towards the harbor together. The distance wasn't too far or too close. When they arrived at the harbor, five warships and several transport ships were already docked at the shore. Long planks were lowered from the ships, and a group of heavily armed Gran soldiers descended from the ships, maintaining a tight guard around them.
It wasn't until they saw Robb and his group that they relaxed, letting their guard down. Laughter erupted from the ship, and the sailors began pushing various supplies off the planks.
Robb noticed that this batch of supplies mainly consisted of white sugar intended to serve as "wages" for the Maya people, as well as various mining equipment. There were large crates of railroad tracks and pulley systems, clearly meant for constructing the rail system.
A group of carpenters came down from the ship and immediately started examining the nearby trees to see if they were suitable for cutting down as sleepers...
The tools they brought out and their well-coordinated movements left the Maya people following behind Robb in awe. They had now realized that there were indeed many things they could learn from these Gran people.
Without waiting for the captain to ask him, Kante introduced himself, "Affiliated with the Wind knights, a wind magic knight, Kante Chengguang, here to assist you in battle."
The captain glanced at him and thought, [Kante Chengguang? Isn't he the famous idiot of the Wind knights? It is said that his Whirlwind technique involves kicking enemies around in circles! Even the navy has heard of this idiot's exploits.]
Thinking this, he immediately regarded Kante as an insignificant speck and ignored him completely.
However, the captain didn't know one thing[ "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news spreads a thousand miles.]
While Kante's antics had spread far and wide, his later display of magic during the Battle at the Capital of Saints did not, because people were accustomed to sharing amusing incidents, not serious ones. Who would bother spreading news that wasn't entertaining?
The five warships left the shore and headed towards the six warships of the Kingdom of Norma.
Five against six!
The outcome was uncertain.
The Norma sailors on the six ships were currently filled with anger. They had just brought three ships earlier but were humiliated and driven away by the Maya people. So this time, they came with six ships, bringing a large army of over a thousand people, determined to teach the Maya natives a lesson. However, they didn't expect to encounter the Gran fleet here.
Neither side bothered to exchange words and immediately engaged in battle!
With a booming cannon shot, the Norma ships fired their cannons first. They had come specifically for warfare, unlike the Kingdom of Gran's ships that were hastily responding. As a result, their combat preparations were more thorough, and their cannonballs aggressively headed towards the Gran warships.
