"We want to speak directly with your merfolk royalty!" On behalf of Chen Jing, Hain expressed the wish of the Federal Military Department to Hardy.

- This time, they don't intend to give the merfolk any more room to perfunctory the federal military department.

It had been almost forty minutes since he left the sea, and Hardy had obviously felt that his breathing had become a little difficult, and his body, especially the lower half of his body, was also burning and hot, and his judgment was gradually declining......

However, he still heard Lieutenant General Hain's words very clearly just now - after all, this involves the royal family!

He and the other two mermaid representatives glanced at each other, thought for a moment, and hesitated: "Last time you also mentioned this matter, we do have difficulties on our side, you know......"

"Well, the last time you said that His Majesty Maldez has been unwell recently, and several princes and princesses are worried about the Sea Emperor, and there is no way to leave Gamir."

Hain looked at Hardy with a smirk, "If that's the case...... Wouldn't it be better if we could visit Gamil? ”

When Hardy heard this, he was stunned.

The accompanying merfolk representatives didn't expect that the Federal Military Department would actually propose to go to Gamir!

Located in the mysterious area of the Nerd Sea, Gemir is said to be the "underwater city" where mermaid royalty and ordinary mermaids have lived and lived for generations.

It's just that the merfolk have always been wary of humans, so no submarine with humans has ever arrived in the area.

After the Federal Government signed a cooperation agreement with the Nerd Mermaids, for the sake of friendship and coexistence, the exact location of Gemir was not explored, at least on the surface.

"Since the merfolk royal family can't come to the sea or land for the time being, let's go to Gamir...... This way, they don't have to bother leaving the unwell Sea Emperor, it's more convenient on both sides, isn't it? Lin Zexi smiled gently, but his attitude was very resolute.

"This ...... If you go to Gemir, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter all of your warships, and you won't be able to bring too many people......"

Hardy's implication was that if the Federalists had to go to Gamir, they couldn't take too many sergeants with them.

He watched each other cautiously, as if he was secretly wondering if the Federal Marshal and his men were really determined to go to merfolk territory alone......

As if knowing what he was thinking, Colonel Lin Zexi added: "At that time, we will only dispatch one submarine, and all the soldiers and staff will not add up to more than a hundred...... If you feel that there are any other problems, such as the number of personnel, etc., we can discuss again, so please be sure to trust the sincerity of the federal army. ”

——Sincerity, sincerity...... Even if you dare to go to Gemir, we won't dare let you in!!

Hardy felt hotter and sweated profusely on his forehead, which accelerated the process of dehydration.

Not only him, but the other two merfolk representatives were in a similar situation, the gills on their necks involuntarily opened, and they looked like they were having trouble breathing.

"You can go back and discuss with the royal family first, and we can talk about the details." Lieutenant General Hain looked at Hardy with concern, as if he was worried about the other party's situation.

He paused and continued, "Whether it's the Mermaid Royals going to the offshore, or we're going to Gamir, I hope to get your answer before noon tomorrow. ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After the mermaid representative left, Ax asked Lin Zexi, "Is it okay for them to go back like this?" ”

- When I came, I looked a little refreshed, but when I left, I was really embarrassed...... It feels like that Hardy rep is almost gone!

Lin Zexi shook his head and patiently explained to Akers: "Your Highness, don't worry, we are measured, as long as we return to the sea within an hour, they will be able to recover soon." ”

"Do they have to work so hard every time they come?" Akers continued to ask.

"We usually go offshore because there are special meeting rooms for both sides, and some of the seats are directly connected to the ocean...... The next meeting should be there, and Your Highness can take a look. ”

As soon as Axes and the others arrived in Nelde, the merfolk sent a representative, apparently keeping a close eye on the progress of the attack.

"I heard that Gemir is in the depths of the Nerd Sea, and they mean that too many federal troops cannot be allowed to enter Gemir, so wouldn't it be a little unsafe for the marshal to go through like this?"

You know, Gemir is the stronghold of the Nerd merfolk, and their mermaid sentinels are called "biological mechas", which is not for nothing.

- If you really only send a submarine, but you have to go to the deep sea where "biological mechas" gather, it will be a bit risky no matter how you look at it!

"It's just our statement, and it's not really going." Lin Zexi said to the little prince.

- Didn't really want to go? Could it be...... Scare them?!

Sensing that His Royal Highness Akers seemed to have some understanding, Lin Zexi confirmed: "I said this to the representative of the mermaid clan just to emphasize that we must meet the mermaid royal clan this time and have direct communication." ”

"Will the merfolk agree?" Akers was thinking that in the end, the other party wouldn't really want Chen Jing and them to go to Gemir.

"Gemir is the gathering place of the merfolk and the place where they thrive, which is equivalent to the merfolk forbidden area, so it has never been open to humans. They would never have allowed our army to enter Gemir so easily...... Don't say a hundred, even ten, I'm afraid it won't work. ”

"So in this case, they have to send their mermaid royalty to the offshore?"

The inaction of the Nerd merfolk has caused a lot of distrust between the Federation and them after the first attack, and now the second attack is bound to intensify the contradictions.

If the attitude of the other party is still not positive this time, or even tries to stay out of the situation as it did last time, then the "plan to re-evaluate the safety of mining work in the fifth sector" will not be a dead letter, but will be immediately put on the agenda and implemented as soon as possible.

For the merfolk tribe, if the human race reduces the number of underwater operation areas in the fifth star region and carries out centralized mining, then there is no need to sign any agreement with the merfolk tribe, and naturally there will be no more materials and technology for the merfolk tribe.

The win-win situation is broken, and no one will be able to do well!

Therefore, Chen Jing and the others went to Nerde this time to put their attitude extremely hard and not give the mermaid clan a chance to get lucky.

INTERVIEWER Since the so-called "allies" have no way to give federal support at a critical time, and since the deep-sea operation area is so unsafe, what is there to hesitate about?

"So this time, we're going to see the mermaid royalty nine times out of ten, right?" This is the first time Akes has seen the merfolk with his own eyes, but the other party appears in the form of a "human", so Akes is very curious about the offshore meeting.

"Yes, Your Highness, if nothing else, we will get a reply tomorrow morning." Once the decision is made, the other party should not delay it any longer.

Lin Zexi looked at Chen Jing and suggested to Akers: "It's still early, why don't I take you to the military base to have a look and familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment." ”

"Will it delay your work?" Akers also looked at Chen Jing and turned to ask Da Lin Dao.

"No, this morning's meeting is over, and there will be no more meetings...... You come with me. ”

What Lin Zexi didn't tell the little prince was that they didn't have anything more to do now than wait for news.

We have to wait for news from the search and rescue team, and we have to wait for news from the merfolk people......

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Nerde's land military base is large, and parts of the military base overlap the coast compared to the location of the city, which may have something to do with the fact that they need to keep in touch with the merfolk on a regular basis.

It is impossible to completely walk through such a large area in a short period of time, and the part that Lin Zexi took Acers to visit was mainly where the headquarters was located.

"The last time the general entered the Medium Sense of Motion, you said that you heard a song?"

Seeing Lin Zexi mention this, Akers immediately nodded and said, "Yes...... But the next time the general was in the fugue, I didn't hear the song again. ”

In fact, at that time, because of that song, Lin Zexi and Hain also specially consulted the mermaid clan of Nerde - that is, a very traditional and ordinary mermaid song, even the old fishermen on the shore of Nerd can sing a few words.

Lieutenant General Hain still asked the other party to sing the song from beginning to end, and recorded it, and asked them to translate the lyrics as well.

After all the tunes and lyrics were obtained, compared with the two, Axes could be 100% sure that the song he "heard" was not the one that Chen Jing and the others heard the rebels sing at that time!

Since in his consciousness, "hearing voices" is an incredible thing, so Akers also wonders if he is mistaken.

Or maybe Chen Jing's memory of this period is a little vague, so this fragment in his consciousness is originally partly made up by himself.

Then they set off for the Fifth Sector, so they hadn't talked about it for a few days.

Lin Zexi, as a secondary guide and Haine's companion, knew very well what the situation was in the sentinel's consciousness.

It's normal for people to make up memories...... But as soon as the mermaid was involved, he felt a little uneasy inexplicably.

"During this period of time in the Fifth Star Zone, I have to trouble His Highness to often do spiritual counseling for the general, so be prepared."

"Well, I will." In fact, there is no need for Lin Zexi to deliberately remind him, Akes will do the same.

"Has the Colonel ever seen the Mermaid Royals?" Akers discovered that there was a mural in the center of the hall of the headquarters with a carving of the rough seas and the scene of mermaids navigating the waves.

Lin Zexi shook his head: "This is actually the third time I've come to the Fifth Star Zone, and I've always come with the general before...... The first time I came, it was because of something else...... The second time, not long ago......"

They had met with Nerde's merfolk a month ago, but they had seen them all ordinary merfolk.

"I saw a post on a virtual platform, and they said that the mermaid royal family is larger than the average mermaid and is very beautiful!"

"I'm afraid this is just speculation," Lin Zexi smiled, "In fact, it is very difficult for people in the Fifth Star Region to see the Mermaid Clan, let alone the Imperial Clan." ”

The merfolk live in the depths of the sea, and they are suspicious by nature, and of course they will not expose themselves to humans at will.

The statements made on the virtual forum are actually just the general inferences of the public all along.

The ocean is a place that speaks entirely of strength, before there is no human resource supply, the mermaid race has relied on its own hunting for thousands of years, if the mermaid royal family does not surpass ordinary mermaids in size or strength, how can they become the leader of the overlord of the sea?

However, when Akes and the others really met the mermaid royal family, they knew:

It turns out that the eyes of the masses are really bright!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Sure enough, as Chen Jing and the others expected, within a few hours of the mermaid clan's representative returning to Gamir, the other party sent back the reply of the mermaid royal clan.

Roughly speaking, Marshal Chen Jing and Prince Ax have traveled thousands of miles to the Fifth Star Zone, and the mermaid clan, as allies of the Federation, can't let them go to the deep sea again, which is neither safe nor troublesome, so the mermaid royal clan will go directly to the offshore sea and talk to the Federal Marshal.

So on the fifth day after they reached the Fifth Star Zone, Akers and Chen Jing came to the offshore conference room of the land military base.

Ax walked into the conference room and found it very large.

The oval table in the middle looks like it can accommodate 30 people.

On the federal side, there are standard sofa chairs, but on the other side of the table, there are five cylinders with a diameter of about 1.5 meters, the height is level with the tabletop, and there is a transparent liquid more than half a meter high, which should be seawater.

- Obviously, the level of this offshore conference room is lower than the sea level, so the connected sea water is higher than the floor of the conference room.

Aks sat on one side of Chen Jing, next to him were Lieutenant General Hain and Colonel Lin Zexi, as well as officers of the First Army, while on the other side of Chen Jing sat General Bimont and several other senior generals of the Fifth Army.

There were ten people present at the meeting on the Federation's side, and they didn't fill their seats, because many of the senior generals of the First and Fifth Legions had already led their troops to the deep sea to find their compatriots who had been taken hostage by the merfolk rebels.

Ax looked at the clock on the terminal, it was almost the agreed time, and he was about to ask if the other party would be late, when he found that all the sentries present straightened up slightly, as if they heard something!

The water in the opposite cylinder began to fluctuate violently, and Ax didn't even dare to blink his eyes, staring straight at them.

At this moment, something suddenly rushed out of the water, and Ax thought that there would be a splash on his face, so he couldn't help but close his eyes, but in fact, a protective screen was erected in front of him, completely blocking the splash.

When Axes opened his eyes, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

I saw that in each cylinder, there was a tall creature standing at this time, like a sculpture, which always looked a little unreal.

Most of their lower bodies are hidden in the water, while their upper bodies are bare, probably because they are going to meet with Union soldiers, and some ribbons of aquatic plants are tied to cover some parts, but their bare arms and chests can still be seen.

Even just looking at the muscle lines on their arms is amazing enough—the muscles that stretch out in arcs are like bowstrings ready to fire, full of the power of the overlord in the water.

After seeing Chen Jing's body (please don't ask when you saw it), and looking at the scene in front of him, Ax also had to admit that the mermaid clan was really quite strong!

From this distance, the little prince could faintly see the scales on the fishtails of their lower bodies, which looked very smooth and reflected in the light - the tails of the five people were all different colors, but they looked very beautiful.

However, if Ax could reach for it, he would see that their scales were not as smooth as they looked, but had a somewhat sticky film attached to them.

Moreover, there are barbs near the caudal fin, which are as sharp as the blade of a knife, not to mention the triangular caudal fin, which is estimated to be 80 or 90 centimeters long when unfolded.

Now, of course, Akes can't see the other party's full tails - because they're hiding underwater.

Looking down, you can't see anything...... Ax's gaze naturally moved upwards.

What caught his eye was a familiar face.

- Oh, well, the mermaid directly opposite him is Mr. Hardy, whom he met the day before...... It turns out that when they restored their "fish body", they looked much taller!

In fact, all three delegates who came that day were here today.

So, Ax's gaze continued to move to the middle...... At this time, he was stunned.

- That's it...... Mermaid royalty?!

I saw that the neck and jaw line of the male mermaid jumped tightly...... Further up, there is a human face.

A beautiful human face!

If Prince Ax's face is a beautiful painting...... Well, the face of this male mermaid is a perfect carving!

From his point of view, Chen Jing and Akers needed to bow their heads slightly, so they looked down on each other a little arrogantly.

The long blond hair stretched from the side of his face to his chest, revealing the fins of a feather fan—the wet hair did not feel embarrassed in the slightest, but rather revealed a sense of seduction.

He has a pair of dark blue eyes, a layer of light golden eyelashes under the eyelids, a high nose bridge and thin lips that are pursed into a line, all perfect for ......

Axes couldn't help but mentally compare Prince Raymond with his eldest brother, Carter's Crown Prince Calvin.

- is also a prince with blonde hair and blue eyes, one is noble and the other is cold and glamorous...... It all looks dangerous!

Mr. Hardy was the first to speak: "Good morning, generals, this is our Highness Raymond, he is the second prince of His Majesty the Sea Emperor. ”

Then he turned around slightly and introduced to the male mermaid in the middle: "Your Highness Raymond, this is General Chen Jingxing, the Marshal of the Federation, and this one is Prince Akers of Carter, and he is also the fiancé of General Chen Jingxing. ”

Raymond's deep blue eyes first stayed on Chen Jing for two seconds, and then slowly looked at Prince Axes beside him.

"Ships from afar, friends from afar...... Please don't be afraid, don't hesitate, come to its arms...... It will make you feel happy and you will be happy forever...... Forget your sorrows, forget your worries...... Right here, have a wonderful, sweet dream......"

I don't know why, when the other party's blue eyes looked over, Axes felt that he had heard that unknown song again......

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"His Majesty the Sea Emperor's body, I don't know if it's better?"

Chen Jing saw that Prince Raymond was staring at Axes for a long time, and he was unhappy, so he took the initiative to ask.

Probably because he heard the news that the other party asked about his father, Prince Raymond finally didn't look at Ax anymore, but moved his gaze back to Chen Jing.

"Your Majesty is much better, thank you for your concern." Seeing that His Royal Highness Raymond did not speak for a long time, Mr. Hardy was afraid of offending Chen Jing, so he hurriedly answered: "Your Majesty asked His Royal Highness Raymond to convey his meaning on his behalf this time, in the hope that we can reach a friendly consensus as in the past!" ”

"That's great, we also have the same wish," Admiral Bimont, who was sitting on the other side of Chen Jing, nodded repeatedly: "Then let's start today's meeting directly!" ”

He continued: "This sneak attack has had a great impact on the Federation, I believe that Mr. Hardy has already explained to your Sea Emperor when he goes back, if we can't solve the problem as soon as possible, we will have to reassess the safety of underwater operations in the Fifth Star Zone." ”

"Are you threatening us?" Raymond, who had been silent, ignored Admiral Bimont, who was speaking, and looked at Chen Jing with a hint of indifference in his eyes.

- I thought that this Prince Raymond would not speak easily, but I didn't expect the first thing he said was so direct!

Lin Zexi immediately added: "This is not a threat, but a fact, we cannot take the same risk and continue to decentralize mining work as if nothing happened." ”

Raymond didn't say anything about Lin Zexi's words, he asked again, "What do you want to know?" ”

"Intelligence on merfolk rebels." Chen Jing looked back at Prince Raymond, and did not detour around the corner, and replied categorically.

"Nelle is too big, and we can't find Marcas."

Hardy's eyes widened in surprise when he heard that Prince Raymond had just said the name of the "rebel".

Hearing this, Chen Jing raised his eyebrows - does the other party mean to be open and honest?

"Marcas?" Lin Zexi and the others immediately heard what Raymond meant: "Who is he?" ”

"He's my brother," Raymond said in a cold tone, "the crown prince of the Nerd merfolk, a former ......" 166 Reading Network
