Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)

With the enemy's advance into the Dornia Sea, Caspian and the crown prince would be left incapable of making any move.

Should they decide to kill Garrett, the consequences would likely entangle not just themselves but also Matthew and the Babington Family. Besides, they were already walking a tightrope. Despite Cathay's well-known protective stance, they would have to account for their actions on the global stage.

The Stormbringer sped across the waves toward Garrett's escort ship, moving through the water like a flash of lightning. Aboard the escort ship, Garrett's face was etched with desperation as he watched the Stormbringer approaching with relentless speed. "How much longer until we reach the Dornia Sea? We need to speed up!" he demanded, his voice tinged with desperation. Meanwhile, the scarred navigator, with his cracked lips whispering frantic figures, remained absorbed in his calculations. "Three nautical miles..."

"Two point seven nautical miles..."

"Two point five nautical miles..."

A sudden realization struck Garrett, and his eyes widened with alarm. He grabbed the scarred man by the shoulder and barked, "Get in touch with the Dornia Sea border patrol right now! Let them know it's Prince Garrett of Montiria who's calling!" Garrett had crossed paths with the commander of Dornia's border defense during a grand banquet. If anyone had the power to change their current circumstances, it was definitely him.

As he fumbled with his phone, he couldn't help but curse the spotty signal over the vast expanse of the ocean. While punching in the number for the patrol officer, his hands trembled, and his pulse raced with every tick of the clock. Consumed by anxiety, he handed the phone to the scarred man, even though he was the one on the line.

Once the call went through, Garrett's voice was desperate and strained. "Patrol officer, it's Garrett. I'm under pursuit just outside the Dornia Sea and need immediate support!"

After a brief silence, a calm, reassuring voice responded, "Prince Garrett, rest easy. No one within the Dornia Sea's borders will be in danger."

A glimmer of hope flickered in Garrett's eyes. He turned to the scarred man and commanded, "Full speed ahead! Once we make it into Dornia's territory, we'll be safe!"

The escort ship surged forward with

every ounce of power it could

muster toward the sanctuary of

Dornia. Meanwhile, dark silhouette

began to form on the

horizon-Dornia's border defense

forces moving in to block their path.

Onboard the Stormbringer, Shawn's rage reached a boiling point. His teeth clenched as he roared, "They can't get away! Fire the cannons, now!"

Caspian, though young, calculated

the distance and angle with precise accuracy. Even with his extensive maritime experience, he knew the chance of hitting the escort ship was as uncertain as a coin toss. "Set the main cannon to twenty-five degrees left and thirty-two degrees down. Bomb's all set, fire!"

With a thunderous blast, the cannon came alive, hurling a fiery cannonball through the air, hurtling toward the escort ship. Garrett, his eyes bloodshot with tension, stared at the scarred man's navigation device. "One and a half nautical miles..."This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"One nautical mile..."

At the brink of hope, a blazing fireball appeared in the sky, streaking toward them with terrifying speed. They had only seconds before it struck.

With less than a mile to safety, the

scarred man made a decisive move-thrusting Garrett into a survival capsule. As Garrett's eyes overflowed with a mixture of fear and disbelief, the scarred man feft him with a final, grave message before sealing the capsule. "Forgive me, Your Highness. I must take my leave."

The survival capsule shot into the sea with a sudden jolt. Garrett's eyes widened in terror as he saw the scarred man on the deck, drawing his long sword and driving it into his own abdomen in a final act of sacrifice.

The double-barreled shot struck with relentless force, igniting a towering inferno that lit up the night. Garrett was cast into the Dornia Sea, the fiery chaos painting a grim backdrop to his desperate escape.
