Chapter 735: Be low-key
"It's coming, it's coming soon, it's all ready for me. No mistakes are allowed. A middle-aged man on a giant tiger hovered on the edge of a harbor, his face excited and expectant, and from time to time he scolded the knights in his ornate armor to vent his nervous excitement.
However, unlike the excitement of this middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, on both sides of the red carpet, the heavily armored warriors were lined up in two rows, blocking the merchants, local mercenaries, and some idlers and nightingales, who made some complaints from time to time.
"Why is it suddenly sealed in the port, we are not allowed to enter or leave, and my cargo ship is still outside? It is fresh goods, if you don't unload it quickly, it will stink after a while, and I won't even have my pants left, who will be responsible for this loss?"
"What kind of big man is coming, look at the insignia on these knights, this is the crest of the tulip family. โ
"What tulips, I've been to the seaports of no less than ten countries, and never a city would suddenly close a port without notice. A businessman who had just arrived in the port city of Mong Kok couldn't help but complain.
"That's the big nobles who have just been promoted in our principality recently, shut up, some of you little merchants dare to disobey, be careful of being heard by them, annoying those big nobles, and you can't even save your life. โ
"Which one of the Tulip family is such a big show?"
"I don't know the nobleman, but I know what the giant tiger he is riding under his ass?" a leather-clad mercenary stared at Duke Tulip's mount, the giant tiger, with a grin, "That's a gold-level Earth Splitter." Tsk, it's really a big noble. โ
"If it's a gold-level Earth Splitting Tiger, then there's no need to guess its identity, it must be the Marquis Tulip who has been in the limelight recently. โ
"Really, this kind of big nobleman would come to the port to blow the wind, and put on such a big battle?"
"It must be, look at those knights, the lowest breath on their bodies is the silver level, look at this formation, the whole city has been cleaned, and the ground has been sprinkled with flower petals?
"It is estimated that some big man is coming to our city?" The people talked a lot, and then many idlers showed a look of expectation on their faces, anyway, the port city was sealed and it couldn't hurt their interests, only those merchants who rushed to transport goods in these days, as well as the unloading helpers, they could also take advantage of the captain's insight to see what the big man who made the marquis wait to greet him was like?
"It should be that the proud son of the Tulip family has returned, and I heard that he is a dragon knight who is pioneering overseas. โ
"Don't guess if you don't know, even if you are a genius, there is no reason for a father to welcome his son. โ
"You're talking about Lord Bernard, he's a dragon knight, if he comes back, how can he come back from the sea? โ
"Look, there's a ship coming from afar. Soon, under the expectant gaze of Duke Tulip and the guard of honor he brought, a row of black shadows appeared in the distant sea from where the sea and the sky met in the distance, and then gradually approached the port.
As they approached, they could see a huge fleet, with ships crammed into the sea as far as they could see, and the sails raised obscured the sky.
"This is my tulip family's ocean fleet. Seeing this huge fleet of cloaked sailing through the waves, Duke Tulip's face couldn't help but show pride, but as everyone knows, the passengers above are full of disgust for his proud sea ships.
"What's that?" As the fleet approached, one exclamation after another rang out on the coast, and the people of the harbor city were horrified to find that the surrounding of these ships were actually full of terrifying creatures from the deep sea.
"That's Naga!"
"Tidal Giant!"
"Narwhal!"
"Dolphins chasing the tide!"
It didn't take long for someone to recognize what the sea creatures that were guarding the fleet were, the ones that could dominate the ocean, and now they were all guarding a fleet.
"Two-armed Naga, four-armed Naga, and even six-armed Naga, my God, this is the big man in the ocean! This kind of pomp and circumstance, I have long heard that there are kingdoms in the ocean like our land, this is estimated to be which king of the ocean is coming, the Tulip family is really powerful. โ
The cries of the crowd led to the Naga hidden in the seawater, these half-human, half-snake beings all poked their upper bodies out of the sea, revealing their human-like bewitching upper body, and many human males widened their eyes, but when Naga followed their gaze and looked back, they unconsciously shrunk their necks under the gaze of Naga's cold snake eyes.
Soon, the numerous, seemingly scattered nagas were connected in a neat array between the entrance to the harbor and the largest ships in the fleet, leaving a huge passage large enough for eight carriages to run in parallel, and then, under the shocked gaze of these people, on the side of the sea, some Naga warlocks waved their staffs in their hands, calming the undulating sea as a mirror.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, a black-haired and golden-eyed boy led a beautiful girl wearing battle armor to step down from the sea ship and tread the waves.
The moment they appeared, they were followed by twelve six-armed Nagas, and there were even white-named tide giants accompanying them, so pompous, watching those human hearts shake and be shocked, they all secretly guessed Muria's identity in their hearts, but most of them speculated that he was the heir or king in the ocean kingdom or something, such as mermaids and the like, after all, they also had spells that could turn fish tails into human legs.
The Storm Giant, the Naga, and the huge sea beast with a body like a mountain that had just been glimpsed, although Muria did not reveal his identity, but just by this pomp and circumstance, the humans in this port could be in great awe of him, as long as you are not an idiot, you will know that his origin is extraordinary.
On this trip, Muria recruited a thousand Naga as personal guards, all of whom had the royal blood of the Naga kingdom he had conquered, and this was not enough, he brought with him an army of tidal giants of about 100 men for him to drive.
This kind of pomp and circumstance was already very low-key for the power that Muria had now, but he didn't expect that after sailing all the way, the number of sea creatures that followed him would skyrocket to such a point.
Because Muria has a new harvest in the Thorn Realm - the nautical chart that travels between the Thorn Realm and the port, the nautical chart marks the places that need to be avoided during the voyage, either there are fierce sea intelligence tribes, or there are powerful sea beasts, and then there are natural hazards created by nature.
But all these places marked as dangerous became Muria's treasure hunting places, and he went directly to the dangerous places marked on the chart, and he ran wherever they were dangerous, and then after a round of them, his subordinates became like this.
The number of Naga people has grown from 1,000 to 30,000 now, and along the way, he doesn't know how many Naga tribes he has subdued, and how many he has killed.
Muria made his way from Thorn Ridge to this harbor, and if anyone could follow it, he could see that blood stained the sea route red.
After all, not all creatures are willing to submit to him, and the identity of the Titan and the Son of the Dragon is indeed noble, but the face of the Titan and the Golden Dragon is not particularly easy to use in the ocean.
Therefore, for those who are unwilling to surrender and still try to attack him, Muria can only helplessly kill the killer.
There are many sea beasts and sea creatures that would rather die than give in, but there are also many who surrender, for example, after Muria brought those Naga who claimed to have royal blood into those wild Naga tribes, they basically surrendered to the wind, and without any resistance, they dragged their families over and followed Muria.
"Are you Lord Muria? I'm Duke Tulip of the Duchy of Sapphire, Miro. When Muria stepped on the shore, the Duke Tulip who rode the Earth Splitter Tiger jumped off the giant tiger and greeted him very eagerly, with a reserved smile on his face, but among the people around him, he could see his flattery in his slightly bent waist, as long as he was not blind, he could see what Duke Tulip's current movements represented.
"Hmm!" Muria nodded and looked around, he saw the cheering crowd, the red carpet on the ground covered with tulip petals, and a faint fragrance in the air.
"You're too flamboyant, Miro, didn't I tell you to keep a low profile?" Murray looked at the harbor city that seemed to have been affected by the city's order, frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction, ignoring the fleet behind him that was guarded by huge sea beasts and sea intelligent creatures.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, next time I pay attention, it will definitely not be like this. Hearing Muria's accusations, Miro's face stiffened slightly, if it wasn't for the unequal status, he really just wanted to point at the guy in front of him and scold, can you look back at those monsters behind you?
"Hmm. Muria nodded and admonished the marquis, "Be low-key. โ
"Yes, Mirรณ remember, Your Highness, please take a seat, I have prepared a banquet to welcome you in my family's castle. Marquis Mirรณ was slightly on one side, and at the end of the red carpet was a carriage dragged by four snow-white snow-white flying horses, which he borrowed from another marquis family who had made friends with him, because he thought about it and felt that his carriage was too low, and it was a shame to pull it out, so he borrowed one at a great cost.
