Chapter 37: East Sea Navy Branch Fortress! Arrival! [Third Watch]

One day later.

The azure sky was washed clean,

clear for ten thousand miles.

East Sea.

Navy Branch Fortress.

This was the largest Navy base in the East Sea, built primarily above sea level, covering an area of no less than a dozen square kilometers, and could easily be treated as a small town.

Within a hundred li of sea around the Navy Branch Fortress, the waters were calm, and not a single pirate ship dared to appear within this stretch of sea.

Looking out,

Wang Yang's great sea stretched as far as the eye could see.

Only a single towering fortress stood upon the sea, the sole ornament — and the sole landmark — amid hundreds of li of open water.

Inside the Navy Branch Fortress base, everything one could need was available; every daily necessity could be purchased within the branch fortress.

Simply put.

Apart from being used to imprison the most vicious pirates on the sea, this Navy Branch Fortress base was also equivalent to a bustling little town.

It could accommodate no less than a hundred thousand Navy soldiers.

As of now,

as the largest Navy Branch Fortress base in the East Sea, this base housed roughly thirty thousand Navy soldiers, and also held fifty thousand pirates imprisoned within the base's jail.

One could well imagine.

just how massive in scale this Navy base fortress truly was.

Although the East Sea was the weakest of the four seas, the largest Navy Branch Fortress used to garrison a stretch of sea still had to be personally held by a Navy Vice Admiral.

Therefore.

Within this largest Navy Branch base of the East Sea sat a Navy Vice Admiral of formidable strength.

On this day,

a medium-sized Navy warship, under the control of the Navy sailors on deck, was making its return voyage toward the East Sea Navy Branch base.

The sea breeze brushed lightly,

and the white seagull banner raised high by Gao Gaogua symbolized the Navy's absolute fairness, justice, and righteousness.

On the warship's deck.

stood over a hundred Navy soldiers, led by a Navy Lieutenant clad in a Navy 'Justice' coat — eyes bright and piercing, a sword at his waist, sunglasses on, his build tall, sturdy, and powerfully built.

Gradually,

as the warship reached the Navy Branch Fortress base.

In an instant,

Rumble rumble—

the immensely massive stone gate of the base was slowly opened from within, emitting wave after wave of sounds like rolling thunder, deafening to the ear.

Splash splash!

Seawater flew up in sprays,

ripples were stirred across the sea's surface, waves spreading outward.

As the great gate opened,
