## Chapter 594: How Rude!
Two hours ago.
Above the boundless Imperial East Sea, surging Sea Waves constantly splashed up white Waves, yet the entire Sea Surface was a dark black color.
As the saying goes: clear water is shallow, blue water is deep, and black water is an Abyss.
But it was in this vast ocean resembling an Abyss that two Cruisers, over a hundred meters long and numbered 256 and 257 respectively, were flying the flag of the Imperial Navy and riding the wind and waves along their fixed Patrol Route.
At this moment.
Inside the cabin of Cruiser 256.
"Good morning, fellas, find anything?"
Rear Admiral Momon, the Captain (Ship), held a freshly brewed cup of Coffee. Freshly washed up and smelling of coffee, he pushed open the Iron Door of the Combat Command Center with a smile and greeted the technicians sitting in front of their respective screens inside.
"All normal, Captain."
Colonel Nadin, the Vice-Captain, quickly reported.
"Is that so? Well, that makes sense. I heard the Entrance/Exit for those Otherworld Invaders is in the Snow Mountain Range. How could any Warships sail in?" Captain Momon said cheerfully.
But just then, the Radar Chief next to him suddenly looked at the Radar screen and reminded, "Report, a signal suspected to be Human has appeared five Nautical Miles directly ahead!"
Five Nautical Miles was the maximum Upper Limit for their Shipborne Detection Radar to identify Humans. Beyond that distance, they could only detect large Ships or large Danger Beasts.
"A Human?"
Rear Admiral Momon, who had just taken a sip of hot Coffee, looked up and exchanged glances with Colonel Nadin. They both saw deep confusion in each other's eyes.
Their current Position was over a hundred Nautical Miles from the Empire Continent. How could a Human appear here?
"Must be a survivor," Colonel Nadin guessed.
"Possibly."
Rear Admiral Momon nodded.
It wasn't uncommon these days for Adventurers or bold fishermen to venture deep into the East Blue to hunt, and this kind of behavior usually had two results.
One, successfully hunt Ocean Danger Beasts or catch a large amount of fish, and make a fortune upon returning.
Two, directly become the Dessert for an Ocean Danger Beast.
"Then let's rescue them," Rear Admiral Momon thought for a moment and gave the Order. Being able to appear in the East Blue meant they were either Imperial people or Shenhe people.
If it were before, if they rescued someone and found out they were the latter, they would most likely just kick them back into the Great Sea.
But recently, in order to fight against that so-called Otherworld World Government, The Empire was negotiating an Alliance with the Shenhe Island Nation. So, rescuing a Shenhe person now would likely be seen as a meritorious deed.
For a Cruiser with a Sailing Speed of thirty knots, a mere five Nautical Miles wouldn't take long at all.
"Let's go out and see this unlucky yet lucky fellow."
Rear Admiral Momon joked to Colonel Nadin, then walked out of the Combat Command Center and headed to the Bridge, which had the best Vision. From there, they could use a Monocular Telescope to observe the Situation on the Sea.
Hmm, this point was quite strange.
On such a modernized Cruiser, there wasn't even a professional set of Ship Binoculars, but this was the current state of The Empire's Technology Level.
In fact, these Warships, as well as the Detection Radar and Shipborne Missiles.
It could be said that these things only existed after Doctor Stylish of the Science Department emerged twelve years ago.
This explained why the Navy's Warships and Equipment were so modern, even though most Cities within the Imperial Territory were low-rise mud houses and Stone Buildings, without even a flat concrete road.
Therefore, Doctor Stylish's name was well-known in the Alchemy Kingdom, where Alchemy was developed, and in the Shenhe Island Nation, which had advanced Civilization.
He was absolutely a National Treasure level Genius Scientist. What was key was that he was only thirty years old this year!
"Hmm?"
Just as Rear Admiral Momon and Colonel Nadin behind him walked into the Bridge, they found it was completely silent. Everyone was holding a Monocular Telescope to their right eye, staring blankly out the window at the vast Ocean with their mouths agape.
Not even the Captain (Ship) and Vice-Captain were noticed when they entered.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
As Rear Admiral Momon spoke up, these people gradually reacted, then exclaimed repeatedly with shocked faces, one after another.
"Captain, there's a strange Human out there!"
"Yes, yes, it's a man riding a Bicycle!"
"And he looks very tall, I suspect I might be mistaken!"
Rear Admiral Momon listened for a few sentences and finally grasped a few Key Points, but how could there be a Human riding a Bicycle on the Great Sea?
"Silence!"
He then waved his hand forcefully to signal them to quiet down, grabbed a Monocular Telescope from one of their hands, and walked to the window to look. Colonel Nadin behind him did the same.
Soon.
In the narrow circular Vision, they both saw a tall man with curly black hair, truly riding a Bicycle on the surging Sea Waves!
Now both the Captain (Ship) and Vice-Captain were dumbfounded.
"What do we do now, Rear Admiral?"
Colonel Nadin was a bit at a loss, but Rear Admiral Momon, when asked, also didn't know what to do for a moment. The other party didn't seem like a survivor. Looking at his leisurely Posture, he seemed more like a traveler.
"How about sending a small boat over to ask?"
Rear Admiral Momon said with hesitation.
In the current Situation, he really hadn't thought it would be an Enemy Attack, because the other party's Posture was very natural, just leisurely riding a Bicycle on the Sea.
This might be the Ability of some Imperial Arms or Ministerial Arms.
However, before the Messenger behind him could even walk out of the Bridge, the entire Missile Cruiser 256 began to freeze from the Ship Bottom, and then instantly frozen both inside and out with an extremely rapid rate of spread.
Rear Admiral Momon and the others in the Bridge didn't even have Time to React. They might not even have realized when they died. The Messenger still maintained the Posture of holding the cabin door.
Everything happened too suddenly and strangely.
And the man in the Distance seemed not to have seen the Situation here, still maintaining a stable Speed as he rode his Bicycle across the Sea Surface.
But if you look closely beneath the Bicycle.
You could see that what was originally only one Ice path had split into a second one pointing directly at Cruiser 256.
However, this also alarmed Cruiser 257 following behind.
Swish!
Because this was clearly an Attack, they immediately pressed the Anti-ship Missile button. Instantly, a Missile sprayed fierce Flame and shot towards Kuzan's Position.
At the same time, the Autocannon at the front of the Cruiser also began to turn its direction.
On the other side.
Because the Distance was quite close, the Missile had already flown to within six hundred meters of Kuzan in just a few seconds, and its Height was about three hundred meters above the Sea Surface.
Da da da da da
The Autocannon behind had also started rotating, beginning to pour out a rain-like Firepower Net at a Rate of Fire of five thousand Bullets per second. Large amounts of shell casings constantly fell down.
However, both the Anti-ship Missile and the tens of thousands of Autocannon Bullets, upon contact with a sweeping Air Fluctuation, were instantly frozen in mid-air and turned into Ice Cubes, falling into the large Waves.
At the same time.
A two-meter-long Ice Spear appeared above Kuzan's head at some point. In the blink of an eye, it pierced precisely into the Deck of Cruiser 257 like a white lightning bolt, at a Speed exceeding the speed of Sound.
In an instant, this Cruiser and the Sea Surface within a radius of ten meters became a giant Sea Ice Sculpture.
And that man.
He just rode his Bicycle, whistling, and slowly left the scene, leaving behind only a gentle sentence drifting lightly in the Sea Breeze.
"Ara la la, not saying hello first, how rude."
