Chapter 488: Chapter 476: Preparations for the Journey

The fleet has been completed.

Chen Feng never forgot his dream of ocean exploration. He is like a greedy beast; when there is no tasty food around, he needs to forage further away.

Three months.

After the launch of the last specially crafted warship, Chen Feng already had the strength to venture further.

Six warships.

This is Chen Feng’s fleet for this voyage.

In addition, there are three logistical ships.

For this sea expedition, Chen Feng made a lot of preparations. Besides the six warships, there are also two food and medicine ships, and the remaining one is packed with weapons and miscellaneous tools.

During battles, besides the strength of both sides, supplies are also one of the most important conditions. Chen Feng will not let his subordinates fight on an empty stomach; the role of those logistical ships is to ensure that the Warriors of Order have no worries.

It’s about the quality, not the quantity of soldiers.

The cities around Order still need protection. If Chen Feng took most of the warriors away, when some Dimension portals open and powerful enemies emerge, Order wouldn’t even have a chance to counterattack.

Thus, the number of participants was controlled.

The six combat ships have been participated in by professionals, and safety is not an issue. Even if they were to withstand the charge of a mutated blue whale dozens of times, they wouldn’t capsize. This shows how much effort Chen Feng put into these warships.

About half of the Abyss-sourced minerals were used on these warships. Not only are they waterproof and collision-proof, but more importantly, each cabin has a sustainable power supply system.

Besides this, twelve Demon and Martial Cannons have been placed on the deck. Compared to before, the Demon and Martial Cannons have also been improved in terms of loading speed and destructive power.

Some weaker ships can even be sunk completely with just one shot.

This is the naval power of Order.

The followers have been registering recently. Because these are special warships, each can accommodate two hundred people. This means that once fully loaded, there will be twelve hundred people accompanying Chen Feng.

Despite the hardships of this journey, the number of applicants was already full. The warriors on duty already reached more than three thousand registrants, and there were over two hundred professionals, all Dark Department members registered, and the group led by Wei Xun was no less and also registered.

If both sides claim to have no personal agenda, that’s completely impossible.

As Chen Feng grows step by step, people like Wei Xun have already established a position in Order.

At the level Wei Xun has reached, no one dares to mention his unsavory past, but the higher he stands, the more Wei Xun understands to whom he owes everything.

As Order grows stronger day by day, Wei Xun and Lu Wei still do not feel completely at ease. With the Half-Elf joining and the allegiance of the Snake-Scaled Woman, there are some Silver Peak presences among these forces, and Chen Feng has even shown intent to promote them, not only gifting the Ghost Shark’s sea territory to the Snake-Scaled Woman and ordering her to be in charge of regular patrols.

Death Island has also become the base camp of the Half-Elf, and there is no doubt that the rise of the Half-Elf is a certainty.

As for Bridge East, it is still Xu Hongzhuang’s domain. Chen Feng, when employing, neither suspects nor replaces. Although Xu Hongzhuang’s status is quite special, he has no intention of changing people. With some good policies conveyed by Xu Hongzhuang, her influence in Bridge East is as stable as a mountain.

In this situation, even though Wei Xun and Lu Wei rely on Chen Feng, their positions remain unmoved, but they still feel a sense of urgency.

Even Lu Wei, who was once solely focused on his sister, changed after obtaining Blood Sacrifice and mastering the Dark Department.

By now, he is no longer the naive boy; he has become a ruler controlling the lives of countless people.

Therefore, to ensure continued favor in front of Chen Feng, a covert and overt struggle is taking place in Order.

As for rebels?

For the current Order, these are already nonexistent terms.

Chen Feng likes to have everything in his grasp, and now, as the time for his journey approaches, the first thing he must do is turn Order into an ironclad fortress.

The purge has been underway for a week.

Chen Feng gave those people a chance, but some thought themselves extremely smart, unaware that they were nothing but ants in front of power.

A week.

All the opportunistic fence-sitters were eliminated, revealing Chen Feng’s ruthless tactics.

Confusion among those involved.

Not long ago, they were dreaming of glory, even spreading unfavorable rumors about Chen Feng around the city, but in the face of absolute power, these tactics couldn’t stand up.

Chen Feng’s approach to these people is summed up in four words: overwhelming force.

He had given them a chance, but their indifference led him to unhesitatingly execute those hiding in the shadows, digging them out and directly executing them.

...............

Time passed by the second.

Chen Feng, frowning, looked at the nautical chart, then picked up an oil pen and began to draw on it.

Expanding overseas is not about randomly picking a piece of land and developing it, that’s akin to courting death.

"Islands, routes, natural harbors, nearshore positions," these are all things that must be mastered.

Chen Feng wants a journey, not to wander aimlessly in the ocean; the sea is dangerous, an area many times larger than the mainland, and no one knows what dangers and enemies lurk below!

A new continent.

This is Chen Feng’s ultimate goal.

In the meantime, Chen Feng needed to do some preparatory work. He ordered the surrounding maps to be brought over for final prediction.

If it’s about "foraging," then the wider the place and the more populated, the greater the opportunities.

After eliminating several surrounding barren areas, Chen Feng marked the name of a city with an oil pen. With the warships fully powered, within about a month and a half, they could reach this new territory.

This is an island.

In times of peace, due to its unique geographical location, it became a new star on the world map.

Its resident population reached 20 million, not including some tourists and unregistered individuals.

This huge piece of land is certainly expected to bring Chen Feng some surprises.

A black circle marked this place.

Chen Feng has already decided the direction; the destination is this long-lost island!
