Wasteland's Only King
Chapter 274 - 47: Silver Beach Island! The Island Lord and Lady of the Island! Lying in Wait!
Black Sea.
Boom—
Rumble—!
Waves dozens of meters high, surging relentlessly.
Above the waves, a million figures shrouded in black mist, whistling through.
"Hahaha!"
"Refreshing!"
Damian looked at the formidable million-strong army following him, feeling a surge of bravado and pride.
"Ever since arriving on Alpha Star, confined by my father’s disciplines, I’ve hardly left Central Island..."
"But now?"
"The sea is vast enough for fish to leap, the sky high enough for birds to fly!"
"I am the sole ruler atop this Black Sea!"
Damian laughed heartily.
A few generals trailing behind him also shouted continuously: "For the advance of the king!"
In truth.
Damian’s father, as the Federation’s leader stationed on Alpha Star, could be likened to a ruler of the planet.
As his only son, Damian’s status on this planet was akin to that of the Crown Prince.
And for them to accompany the Crown Prince in this expedition, they had fought hard for their place within the army.
Swish—!
Damian, in high spirits, sped up his shuttle pace.
The generals hurriedly followed suit.
And the million-strong army, filled with vigor, desperately kept pace.
Before long.
Central Island had completely vanished behind them.
Vast upon the Black Sea, Damian and his army steadily approached the outer regions.
Until...
"Hmm?"
A bald general behind Damian suddenly uttered a slight note of surprise.
Moments ago.
He had sent communications to the numerous islands in the outer region, notifying them of the ’Crown Prince’s arrival,’ instructing them to prepare for his reception.
But...
There were a whole ten islands that did not respond.
"Far from imperial control?"
"They don’t even regard His Highness Damian?"
The bald general spoke with an icy tone, the black mist around him becoming denser.
As a high-level general able to follow Damian in person, he too was a top-tier Powerful Being with an Unlimited Value reaching 7%.
"What’s wrong?"
Damian noticed the bald general’s reaction, paused in his shuttling, and turned to look.
"..."
The bald general was momentarily silent.
Yet following a brief silence, he truthfully reported the situation to Damian.
Upon hearing this, rather than anger, Damian burst out laughing.
"No response?"
"Hahaha!"
His laughter was exceedingly exaggerated, making all the high-level generals’ scalps tingle.
His Highness’s temperament...
Although not entirely erratic, it definitely didn’t align with being merciful or kind.
With Damian’s reaction, those ten islands’ Island Lords were surely in grave danger!
Indeed.
In the next moment, they heard Damian chuckle and say:
"Tell me the names of the islands."
"Once I conquer the human Territory, I’ll personally visit these Island Lords."
The bald general dared not defy him, truthfully informing.
Simultaneously, he added:
"The island closest in this sea area is named Silver Beach Island."
"Its Island Lord has already responded to communications, expressing..."
"Complete preparation, eagerly awaiting your arrival!"
Having spoken, the bald general carefully awaited Damian’s reaction.
Damian stared at him for a moment and then suddenly laughed again.
"Good!"
"Since preparations are made, let’s stop by."
"Moreover, let my million-strong army catch a breath before the campaign begins."
...
...
Silver Beach Island.
The name of this island originates from its rare silver beaches.
The beaches formed from eons of accumulated special coral remnants, capable of reflecting a hint of silver luster under sunlight.
At this moment.
Silvery beaches were crowded with figures.
Looking out, there were as many as half a million people.
Among them, aside from fifty thousand armored troops, the rest were corrupted residents of Silver Beach Island.
At the forefront of the silver sands, Walter, the Island Lord, was giving a speech.
"Everyone—"
"The distinguished His Highness Damian is about to arrive at this island!"
"This is the greatest opportunity Silver Beach Island has seen in a century!"
"You and I must display the utmost respect, using the grandest ceremony to welcome His Highness!"
"Should you and I excel and leave a good impression in His Highness Damian’s heart..."
"There’s a great likelihood of obtaining residence qualification on Central Island!"
Walter’s words concluded.
On the beach, the half a million people, whether soldiers or residents, all wore expressions of excitement and yearning.
Central Island!
It’s the island with the densest pollution aura on Alpha Star.
To the Fallen Ones, pollution is equivalent to humans’ Crystal Energy.
The denser the pollution, the faster one’s Level ascends.
It’s said...
On Central Island, even a wild boar can easily rise to an Unlimited Level above 3% under the influence of the pollution aura!
"Lord~"
"These are the women meticulously selected from the island; please take a look."
Walter’s subordinate brought forth a group of women.
Among them were young maidens, charming matrons, even...
Several barely in their teens, youthful Lolitas.
"Excellent!"
Walter nodded with satisfaction.
Damian’s stop on Silver Beach Island was obviously not merely convenient.
For this chance, he had specifically promised many benefits to that general.
Walter’s gaze fell upon the foremost woman in the group, an alluring matron.
Her gaze too rested on Walter.
"Wife, do your best."
Walter encouraged with a fist pump.
"Hum~"
The matron hummed softly, being exceedingly sultry, causing young men on the island to flush with excitement, causing some to slightly stoop over.
The Lady of the Island’s fame was indeed prominent throughout this sea area!
And to firmly hold onto His Highness Damian’s favor, Walter clearly spared no expense, even offering his wife...
