Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 382 - 379: The Advantage Is Mine!

On the dark blue sea, a fleet was sailing.

At the bow of the flagship "Trinity," King Christina IV stood with a grim face, his gaze fixed on the west.

That was their sailing direction, as well as the direction of Copenhagen.

"Anhalt, tell me, that place ahead with the thick smoke, what is it?" King Christina IV’s words carried a barely contained fury.

"Your Majesty, ahead is the Copenhagen Port, and the place on fire is the Royal Shipyard!" General Anhalt, standing behind him in fine chain armor, responded solemnly.

"Dior Fulri!"

King Christina IV shouted angrily, "I will make you pay in blood for this!"

The Royal Shipyard embodied King Christina IV’s hard work, carrying his dreams of building the Danish Navy, to dominate the Baltic Sea and even the Atlantic Ocean!

Yet now it was reduced to ashes.

"Your Majesty, we should send some scouts ahead first to investigate," said "Steel File" and "Black Hawk" softly from the side.

"No time for that. The Royal Shipyard is burning! It is the culmination of my life’s work, I must save it."

This situation demonstrated the downside of lacking high prestige or favorability, even leaders like Steel File and Black Hawk of the 18K struggled to have their advice accepted by the natives.

King Christina IV ordered full speed ahead, and the Danish Navy quickly arrived at the port, with the king leading the troops ashore.

What the king saw was a Royal Shipyard burned to ruins and the corpse of General Morizzi. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Still, I was a step too late..." King Christina IV lamented painfully, looking towards the Copenhagen Royal City, he issued a second command: "Advance, reclaim our homeland!"

The Awakened of 18K tried their best to persuade the king to calm down, but their words were as fragile as a web in front of the red-eyed king.

In fact, King Christina IV’s stronghold was taken, his wife and children all captured by the enemy, in such a situation it would be hard for any man to remain calm.

Especially after seeing the horrific state of the shipyard, it was easy to imagine the Copenhagen Royal Palace; the sight of Morizzi and the overseer soldiers’ bodies likely prompted King Christina IV to imagine the desperate situation his queen and children might be facing.

This was Bai Pu’s psychological warfare, aimed at causing King Christina IV to lose judgment, drawing him away from the Danish Navy warships docked at the port, into a land battle!

As long as the battlefield becomes land, it becomes the home ground for the Mutants.

Steel File and Black Hawk discussed briefly and put forward a final suggestion: send people to guard the ships.

"Your Majesty, Dior Fulri is a very cunning fellow. When he captured the Copenhagen Royal City, he dispatched small units to set fire to the city, affecting the Imperial Guard’s combat will. Now that you head for his main force for decisive battle, you cannot rule out his repeating old tricks."

As long as they didn’t hinder King Christina IV, the king was still willing to accept some reasonable suggestions.

However, the adoption of suggestions by the natives, and the final decision-making, might not satisfy the Awakened completely.

King Christina IV said directly: "You’re right, let your Adventurer’s Group patrol the warships and guard against the enemy damaging our fleet! I will grant you limited command authority."

The so-called limited command authority was confined to the soldiers left by King Christina IV to guard the ships, and the scope was limited to assisting the 18K Team in completing the ship-guarding combat mission.

Black Hawk and Steel File, among others, felt bitter. Compared to guarding ships, waiting for enemies that might never come, participating in the great battle was the way to gain the most benefits.

But with the king’s decision made, these "adventurers loyal to the Kingdom of Denmark" could not defy orders, and they departed, cursing their luck.

King Christina IV led the army to the Copenhagen Royal City, entering the main street areas.

To his relief, while there were signs of destruction, the scope wasn’t large.

The vast majority of residents were hiding in houses and cellars, with no large-scale massacre—this was what King Christina IV feared the most.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Dior Fulri still retains some noble morality, not allowing the Mutants to slaughter wantonly," Anhalt said.

King Christina IV said nothing, looking ahead.

At the end of the main street.

Bai Pu was mounted on a horse, his Mutant army lined up neatly behind him.

"King Christina, for less bloodshed among your soldiers, how about a fair duel?"

Bai Pu shouted, "Risking our honor, our duel will end with one body hitting the ground! No interference from anyone."

Anhalt responded for the king: "Dior Fulri! You are just a minor count, not qualified to challenge our king."

"Oh? How about adding the release of Queen Anna and the freedom of several princes and princesses... Would this minor count then weigh equally with the king?"

Bai Pu gestured, and the Mutants’ ranks parted.

King Christina IV’s eyes immediately went red.

Sitting wearily on the ground were his Queen Anna and his children.

"Fulri! You threaten with women and children, do you have any noble dignity left?" Anhalt shouted.

Bai Pu smiled: "You threaten with the Swedish grain trade line, disregarding the millions of Swedish civilians who might starve... Compared to me, which is lighter and heavier?"

Anhalt glanced at the king; under the current circumstances, it was not suitable for the king to make a choice.

Anhalt said coldly: "Our forces are triple yours! The advantage is mine! Dior Fulri, His Majesty the King will not be coerced by you, all charge—"

Suddenly, Anhalt’s voice cut off.

He heard numerous orderly footsteps!

From both sides of the city street, unknown when, two Swedish Mutant armies came running!

On the left side, was the former Guardian Knight Gawain of the Queen of the Sweden Empire.

On the right side, was the former Blood Ring Fortress general, General Goodwin, known as the "Throat-Cutter!"

The more than a thousand new Mutants "recruited" by Bai Pu were indeed somewhat thin, but combined with the forces led by Gawain and Goodwin, the combat power was on par with the Danish army!

Behind Bai Pu, actually hidden was the Queen Dowager of Sweden, Qin, cloaked from head to toe.

However, Qin was known to be overseeing the situation in the Capital of Sweden, Stockholm, so it wasn’t proper for her to show herself.

This was the second step of the plan.

For both public and personal reasons, Qin couldn’t allow Bai Pu to face the entire force of Denmark alone.

Bai Pu had previously acted like a scalpel, secretly and precisely stabbing at the heart of the Kingdom of Denmark, taking Copenhagen. This was the place the enemy must defend, forcing the Danish Navy to relinquish their superiority at sea, setting the battlefield in favorable terrain for the Mutant army on land.

Once the strategic target was achieved, the follow-up forces of the Sweden Empire would naturally continue to flow in through Malmö.

After all, the Oresund Strait was only a few kilometers wide, not requiring fleets of warships to transport troops, civilian fishing boats were sufficient!

"Now, your forces no longer have the absolute advantage. King Christina, for the sake of your family, make your choice!" Bai Pu shouted.

In fact, if chaos broke out now, Bai Pu wouldn’t mind; he proposed the duel only to prevent others’ attacks from "tainting" King Christina’s Treasure Chest.
