Chapter 426: The Plan

"If it were just a pure naval battle, the two sides would end up mutually destroyed. The key is the mass assault under the cover of legendary powerhouses and high-level magic energy professionals."

After the tentative first exchange, Anthony observed the distant scene through a special 'telescope' at Li Mochen's 'sniper position'. This was actually a holy artifact, allowing him to directly observe conditions hundreds of kilometers away.

Even the dense fog and the large amount of silver foil suspended in the air were useless.

"Their two battleships are very powerful, equipped with new main guns with a range of one hundred and twenty kilometers. A single salvo could wipe out most of your ships."

"It won't come to that, Anthony."

Li Mochen's expression was calm. He too was using the scope on the 'Pseudo Dragon's Might' to observe the enemy fleet in the distance.

The great alchemists under Anthony had been very meticulous in crafting this 'Pseudo Dragon's Might', with all components meeting the 20S standard, including this scope.

Of course, its telescopic capability couldn't compare to Anthony's holy artifact, but Li Mochen also had the 'Titan's Eye', which allowed him to see even more clearly than the richest man.

"Before they prepare for a mass charge, I'll blow them up one by one. I have that ability, don't I?"

"Indeed—"

Anthony's face twitched: "But speaking of which, your battle plan is a bit too simple and crude."

Li Mochen's intended tactic was to wait until the legends gathered together, then use this sniper rifle to take out the renowned powerhouses of the Antolia continent one by one.

Anthony didn't doubt Li Mochen's ability; after all, he had once wounded 'Nightlord' Delfinia Adric, a top-tier powerhouse with high-level demigod strength.

Now, although Li Mochen didn't have the same conditions as before, he was also no longer the same person.

Currently, he could even win in close combat against low-level legends. And the 'Pseudo Dragon's Might', after incorporating key components from the genuine Dragon's Might, had reached the level of a fifth-grade holy artifact. Its power was certainly no less than the original anti-materiel sniper rifle 'Brayden's Siege Hammer', with even better rate of fire. The high-tech modified magazine allowed Li Mochen to fire a total of eighteen consecutive shots.

In addition, he also had several legendary-level magic scrolls sponsored by Anthony.

—This was extremely terrifying. Anthony judged that only demigods and certain high-level legends like 'Nightlord' could withstand Li Mochen's bullets within thirty kilometers without injury.

"But their overall strength is only that much. If a simple method can solve the problem, why make it complicated?"

Li Mochen was calculating while observing. He needed to do a lot of preparatory work to calculate the trajectory in the first moment after the battle began.

He also had to familiarize himself with the ships and their internal magic energy defense arrays based on the blueprints Anthony provided. He needed to know where it was easier to break through and which positions were more convenient to penetrate.

After nearly twenty days at sea, the merit accumulated on the 'Divine Fortune Purple Gold Pagoda' was still not much, only two thousand one hundred strands so far.

He had to exhaust all means to reduce the consumption and burden of merit power—after all, there was still the 'Blood-Eyed Angel' Robert Yvonne to deal with. To ensure the implantation of the 'Blood Spirit Crystal' was foolproof, he had to reserve some merit as a backup.

"In short, Mr. Richest Man, just wait and enjoy a sniper show."

After dealing with these legends, he could then calmly resolve the crisis on Robert.

"BOY, I'm no longer the richest man."

Anthony Brayden's tone at this moment was unclear whether he was pleased or displeased: "In the past few days, the market value of Light Magic Industries has plummeted by seven percent. See, I've only been absent for a little over a month, and those shareholders and funds have lost confidence in our Light Magic Industries. Hmm?"

With a surprised exclamation, he looked sideways in another direction.

"What's wrong?" Li Mochen asked curiously.

"My security advisor tells me that your fleet, Andre, is in trouble."

"Trouble?"

Li Mochen blinked, somewhat surprised: "They're starting to make moves?"

"Not to that extent yet." Anthony shook his head: "Just a few shipowners colluding to seize control of the Dawn, planning to use it as a bargaining chip with the pirates. I guess the Battle Axe Pirate Group contacted them."

A sarcastic smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "These people are still too ill-informed. I think they must not know about your glorious victory in Atlanta City."

"Then your information is also outdated, Mr. Brayden."

At this moment, Angela Medici and Hayer entered the demiplane hand in hand.

"I've already warned those guys. If they make any small moves, the Michel Group will hunt them to the ends of the earth. None of them will survive."

Anthony immediately looked sideways, and his gaze fixed on Hayer.

The two had entered here relying on Hayer's spatial ability. This girl, who had usurped the power of the Calamity Flame Dragon, was gaining more and more control over herself and had even developed a spatial domain.

Li Mochen frowned, his eyes displeased: "Angie!"

"If Hayer can come, why can't I?"

Angela snorted, completely ignoring Li Mochen's warning gaze.

"I can now fight Hayer to a standstill. With the Hand of Deceit, even legends can't do anything to me—"

Both men present couldn't help but snicker, thinking that Hayer wasn't being serious.

With the 'Fantasy Dragon's Control' and 'Loki's Hand of Deceit', she could indeed contend with a legend for a short time, but the problem was that Angela's body couldn't bear her immense mental power. At most one minute, and Angela would either collapse or her body would break down.

However, Li Mochen didn't say anything more, because behind Angela, another person walked in. It was a middle-aged man holding a blue shield, who nodded slightly to him. That was 'Thunderfoot' Valit, the legendary force Michel had arranged by Angela's side. They had cooperated before during the rescue of Anthony.

With this man here, he didn't have to worry too much about Angela's safety.

At this moment, Li Mochen's attention was also drawn to a ship in the scope. After a thorough observation, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Interesting!"

"An inverted hexagram array? That kind of magic energy radiance—they've also used a ritual-type holy artifact, likely an ancient relic!"

Anthony also noticed the anomaly on that ship. After careful identification, he showed a surprised expression: "It seems they're planning to usurp Robert's 'Wind of Battle' divine authority. Someone on the opposite side is quite ambitious. Why do you say it's interesting?"

"Of course it's interesting! You know, Anthony, I feel my luck is unusually good. First Hayer, now Robert."

Li Mochen chuckled softly: "I think this is what they call being blessed by fortune, with immense luck? I have no choice but to accept this great gift."
