Right then, Nathan finally noticed the foreign boats around.
One of them was a cruise ship flying an Ariarican flag, and on that ship were numerous muscular figures.
There were also two familiar faces on board, Chev of Room of Taurus and Ricardo of Room of Aries, who had both escaped from Nathan the other time.
There were nine other people with Chev and Ricardo, and the Dean of Room of Leo was there as well.
Nathan knew that the Twelve Rooms of Heavenly City were all present.
There were a few other boats of various sizes and flags of different countries around the cruise ship.
On the boats were the elite fighters of their respective countries.
Evidently, they were Ariarica's allies.
They were all there to support Hidetake.
Hidetake, who had knocked on the grim reaper's door but had escaped alive, was gratefully exclaiming to Broderick, “Thank you so much for saving me, Mr. Broderick! If not for your kind act earlier, I'm afraid I'd be dead now! Jetroina and I will forever remember your kindness.”
However, Broderick coldly uttered, “This isn't the right time to express your gratitude. We'll talk after we're done dealing with the enemies in front of us.”
Hidetake was widely known as an arrogant man.
Yet, not only did he not get mad at the Ariarican's words, he even hastily said, “Yes, of course. You're right, Mr. Broderick. We have to deal with the enemies first.”
While Broderick was talking to Hidetake, Chev, Ricardo, and the other elite fighters had leaped down from the cruise ship.
At the sight of his allies leaving the ship to get to the land, Hidetake turned around to look at the Jetroinian boats. He then raised his right fist before swinging it down in one quick motion.
That was a gesture for his subordinates to leave the ship and go ashore.
In an instant, the warriors onboard the nearly hundred ships jumped off the ships and went ashore.
Noticing that, Fang calmly said, “Chief Cross had wanted to quell this dispute by means of a duel, but it looks like the Jetroinians can't bear the risk of losing. Since our enemies refuse to make the right decision, we'll sober them up with our swords. Get ready for battle!”
Whoosh!
Over two thousand and five hundred Eurasian soldiers tightened their grips on their swords and prepped themselves in a battle-ready stance.
