Chapter 412: Enemy Intelligence

"This is the legacy of my father."

But Anthony immediately thought that Li Mochen also had a father of mysterious origin, who mastered the mysterious Eastern heritage and had once stepped into the demigod realm. So he shook his head: "Forget it, let's get down to business first. First, the 'Blood Spirit Crystal' array—I've almost completed it, and the next step is the simulation test. But now, our troubles have also arrived."

As Anthony spoke, several pages of paper drifted down from the sky, slowly landing in Li Mochen's hands.

"Your enemies this time are quite troublesome. Four large pirate groups with over fifty ships each, a total of thirteen legendary powerhouses. Your nemesis, the mysterious Kagare Corin, his strength is unfathomable. I've investigated, and nearly half of the participants have been involved in the pursuit of your parents. But I'm not sure of their relationship with Kagare Corin—are they subordinates or allies?"

Li Mochen glanced at the text on the paper, then responded calmly: "I expected this, didn't I? To make a demigod-level powerhouse fall, it's impossible without such strength."

He intended to use Roberte Yvonne to lure these 'enemies' over, further merging with the original owner's soul.

"I know your strength, but you still need to be careful. This might not be all of them. However, the most troublesome ones are not them."

Anthony crossed his arms formed by flames: "I suggest you look at the next page."

Li Mochen was already looking, and then he frowned: "Dragon Witch Cult?"

"They plan to attack you again. This time, those clansmen of yours and those in Atlanta who covet your power might intervene blatantly."

Anthony let out a strange laugh: "Six death squads, and over two hundred extra-legal-level magic professionals, possibly even legends. They're taking it quite seriously this time, having preliminarily recognized your strength."

"Thank you, Anthony. This intelligence is very important to me."

Li Mochen secretly marveled that the world's richest man's intelligence network was indeed incomparable to Jeremy Burt's.

At this moment, his temples also felt slightly swollen. Although his own strength and power had greatly expanded, facing two enemies simultaneously still felt insufficient.

He feared neither the Dragon Witch Cult nor the enemies from the Antolia Continent, but if he had to fight both at the same time, he would be stretched thin. He couldn't keep using Hazel's body, could he? That was the last resort.

——So he absolutely must not fall into a two-front war!

Thinking of this, Li Mochen asked with a glimmer of hope: "Anthony, did you get any results on the other matter I asked you about?"

"The person who can control the 'Mithril Shield' and 'Dragon Tooth Flail' for you?"

Anthony spread his hands helplessly: "Amo, do you think you can find someone of that level just by looking?"

Li Mochen sighed, but he had expected this outcome, so he wasn't too disappointed.

"But what you asked for, I've already found for you, and at the highest standard. Dragon crystals from lord-level white dragons, red dragons, and green dragons, all extracted within 24 hours."

Anthony's expression carried a hint of pride: "Do you know how much I paid for this? I mobilized twelve legends at once. There aren't many in this world who can do this."

Li Mochen's spirits lifted: "Then I'll have to trouble you again to help me make two more items."

He wanted to create a new external elixir to replace the previous 'Dual Source', although the latter had never been put to much use since its refinement.

But this time the situation was slightly different. First, the external elixir's grade was exceptionally high; second, they came from three different lord-level dragons, so it was a composite external elixir, making refinement particularly difficult. Li Mochen had to rely on external help.

The other item was the 'Life-Death Mirror', a treasure he had brought from the Primordial Dome Realm, which should now display its divine power. However, before that, he had some ideas to optimize it. It was inspiration he had gained from the magical knowledge of this world, allowing the 'Life-Death Mirror' to be closer to the 'Root of Heaven and Earth', closer to the 'Gate of Truth'.

He intended to use his own 'Binary Mystic Transformation Method' as the mainstay, aided by his powerful divine soul and this artifact as a supplement, to derive the preliminary authorities of 'Life' and 'Death'. He wondered if he could succeed.

...

At Latin Port in the Adrian Archipelago, a small supply port on the periphery of the Calamity Sea, ships were now gathered in clouds.

There were about 120 modified warships—they looked not much different from ordinary armed cargo ships, but in fact, there were essential differences.

The armed cargo ships of ordinary merchant fleets were mainly for cargo transport, while those gathered here were true 'warships', designed primarily for combat. Their weapons, speed, and hull structure had all been greatly strengthened and modified. Cargo transport was only occasional.

In addition, there were over a dozen decommissioned destroyers and cruisers, and even a battleship among them.

When Adam Hydra set foot on the deck of the 'Battle Axe' battleship, the battleship was testing its guns. The nine 410mm magic main guns fired simultaneously, and under the amplification of magic, the shells blasted directly onto an island 112 kilometers away. When they landed and exploded, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

The terrifying shockwave and ear-splitting sound waves arrived shortly after, making Hydra's hair and clothes flutter.

Cassari Gates, the leader of the Battle Axe Pirate Group, was also standing at the bow watching this scene. He turned around triumphantly:

"How about it, Hydra? After my nine guns were refurbished, the power is not bad, right?"

"Captain Gates, this is truly the god of war!"

Hydra spoke with admiration and a hint of envy.

Those shells were indeed very powerful. Under the amplification of magic, each one was almost equivalent to a nuclear bomb with a yield of 10,000 tons of TNT.

"Where did you get them? Now that countries are tightening controls, this level of main gun is rarely cast by arms companies."

"Seems to be from Japan, they pretended to be Teutonic technology, but I'm not sure. Those intermediaries are tight-lipped. Or maybe from China?"

Cassari Gates spread his hands: "They cost me two billion gold shields, but I'm not sure if the deal was worth it. Now it's the age of missiles and radar. The anti-ship missiles of the Alliance Wing's 'First Dawn' can hit my 'Battle Axe' from 600 kilometers away. Now I can only hope that this battleship's air defense system is effective enough, and its defensive capabilities are really as the shipbuilders said—that any part can withstand at least seven Magic Axe missiles."

Saying this, Cassari Gates's expression turned serious: "You look grim. It seems you didn't bring good news. The Black Tortoise Pirate Group isn't going to join us, right?"
