"He's my brother, the crown prince of the Nerd merfolk, a former ......"

Prince Raymond's words stunned everyone present, including their own people (fish).

Hardy's heart was already beating fast when his prince said the name of the former crown prince Marcus, and when he told the Federation the identity of His Royal Highness Marcus, Hardy felt that his heart was about to stop!

"The crown prince? You mean to say that the crown prince of the merfolk was the leader of these two attacks?! The merfolk ......" Admiral Bimont was shocked at the moment, and he frowned and looked at Prince Raymond.

The other party's dark blue eyes moved to Admiral Bimont's side, interrupting him: "Are you deaf?" I said, it's just the former crown prince. ”

Feeling that he didn't speak again, Prince Raymond spoke amazingly, he couldn't afford not to speak, and offended the other party, Hardy hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Marcus Palace...... Marcus is indeed the eldest son of His Majesty the Sea Emperor, but has now been removed from the merfolk of Gamir. ”

He thought of something, and hurriedly added: "His Majesty the Sea Emperor will soon elect a new heir, and if the marshal is still in Nerde at that time, he can participate...... I mean, to participate in the celebration on land. ”

Although the land of Nerde belongs to the Federation, the residents who rely on the sea are still very in awe of the merfolk, so whenever a new sea emperor or crown prince is elected, they will also hold corresponding celebrations on land or in the coastal sea.

- Just kidding, you must not let the other party make a fuss about the identity of Marcus!

Hardy was anxious to say that they would soon elect a new heir to the Sea Emperor, that is, the former crown prince Marcus had been removed as a rebel, so he was no longer part of the Nerd mermaid clan!

Lieutenant General Hain and Colonel Lin Zexi silently glanced at each other when they heard this—it seems that the mermaid clan really wants to dissociate themselves from the former crown prince immediately!

……

Almost all of the merfolk in the Nerd Sea live in Gemir.

However, there are also a very small number of merfolk who have no family or have been expelled by their families, so they can only wander in the waters of Nerde.

If they can't be accepted by the Gamirian merfolk, they can only continue to live in solitude, and it will be very difficult for such wandering merfolk to find a mate and reproduce, even if they survive.

It's not because these stray merfolk are poor in individual combat.

In fact, as long as the mermaid can grow to adulthood, even if it does not awaken the super sense, it is still a very strong individual.

However, in order to live in the vast and dangerous ocean, the strength of a mermaid is still somewhat lacking - because there are thousands of aquarists in the ocean, and those have a great advantage in size, and if they are numerous, they should not be underestimated.

To make matters worse, once a mermaid is injured, it means that they have no way to hunt in the short term, and if they are still living in a group, there will be relatives and friends who can help hunt and protect them, but the lone mermaid is not so lucky.

It is very possible to starve to death or attract powerful enemies due to injury......

Being removed from the merfolk by Gemir meant leaving Gemir forever and wandering around, living the life of fear and fear, always keeping an eye on one's next meal and making sure that one wouldn't be someone else's next one.

And once encountered by the merfolk in other seas, it will not be a "friendly greeting" from the compatriots, but a cruel fight.

……

However, Chen Jing and the others did not think that His Royal Highness Marcus, the former crown prince of the mermaid clan, would fall into such a miserable situation.

In fact, it can be seen from these two attacks that he is not alone, in other words, his "rebellion" should have taken away a lot of the mermaid clan's living force!

Thinking of this, Hai En looked at Chen Jing, the other party guessed his thoughts, and nodded to Hai En, so the lieutenant general turned to Representative Hardy and asked, "Since Marcus has defected from the mermaid clan, shouldn't you cooperate with us to find out the whereabouts of the other party, so as to wipe out the rebels?" ”

Hain originally didn't want to ask Prince Raymond about being bored, so he asked Representative Hardy, but he didn't expect that as soon as Representative Hadi heard Hain's question, his eyes immediately drifted to his second prince, and it seemed that he couldn't make a decision at all, whether he could answer this question.

Just when Chen Jing and the others thought that this matter involved the secrets of the Nerd mermaid clan, and the other party was unwilling to answer, Prince Raymond spoke again.

"My royal brother wasn't expelled because he did something sorry for my clan......

Raymond said coldly: "He is against cooperating with you, and he doesn't want the sea area where the merfolk live to continue to be disturbed by humans, but he can't convince his father, so he took his descendants out of Gamir." ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Prince Raymond's words suddenly fell silent in the entire conference room.

Akers felt that the meeting he attended today was too informative!

"Prince Raymond means that Marcus was not expelled, he left Gamir voluntarily because he did not agree with his father's philosophy!" The ball said in Akers' consciousness.

"In other words, the infighting of the human family and the fish clan is not irreconcilable Luo at all?"

Axes felt that if the Federation really launched a new plan this time, turning decentralized mining into centralized mining, and reducing Nerde's crystal iron mining area, maybe there would be no more reasons for conflicts between the human family and the mermaids, and Prince Marcus would continue to return to Gemir as his crown prince.

He told Qiuqiu what he thought, but Qiuqiu didn't think that would happen.

"Why? That prince of Marcus didn't actually do anything bad for the mermaids, huh? ”

"Since he didn't do anything unfavorable to the mermaid clan, then why did he take the initiative to leave, and the Sea Emperor of Gamir still had to remove him?" Qiuqiu analyzed: "Actually, in a sense, when he led his troops to leave and made an attack on the Federation, it was impossible to return to Gamil. ”

Even if the merfolk clan of Nerde did not continue to cooperate with the Federation, they would not want to make an enmity with them, otherwise it would be tantamount to setting up another strong enemy in an already sinister environment!

This is also why Marcus left Gamir on the front foot, and the merfolk removed him on the back foot, and also said that there would be a new heir soon.

This is actually an expression of their attitude - you see, we have a new heir, and it turns out that the one no longer belongs to the Gemir merfolk, so there is a debtor and a master, and what he did cannot be counted on the Gemir mermaid clan!

There is also a strict hierarchy within the merfolk clan, and once the new heir is established, it is impossible for the prince (princess) to allow his eldest brother, who had been the crown prince, to return to Gamir and threaten his position.

So whether it's because of the external explanation or the internal situation, Marcas is gone, and it is not so easy to go back.

"Do you think the merfolk will help us find Marcas's whereabouts this time?" Akers asked the fairway.

"It's hard to say, although the Sea Emperor removed the eldest son, he may not be nostalgic, if the representative of the other party didn't lie, his previous physical discomfort may not be an excuse to pretend."

Gone has a son, and it is the son of the crown prince, eighty percent of them like it very much, and any father will probably feel grief, and it will affect his health, which is not impossible.

"If that Sea Emperor is unwilling to hunt down his son, then in this matter, it is estimated that he will not really contribute, it is no different from direct perfunctory," Qiuqiu continued: "But if there is a struggle between the heirs......"

"You mean that if there is a struggle between the heirs, then there is a possibility that the royal family of the Merfolk will show a positive side in this matter in order to maintain good relations with the Federation and gain the support of the Federation?"

Ax still understands this - didn't his father, Emperor Augustin the Great, try to send a pair of children to the Federation in order to consolidate his position in Carter, hoping to marry the marshal?

"That's right, or they want to deal with the former crown prince who can't bear the weight in the Sea Emperor's heart first, then it is possible to give the Federation army full cooperation."

In the hearts of all the mermaid princes and princesses who have not become the new heir and worked hard for it, the former crown prince Marcus is actually a big trouble.

- Who knows if this guy will make a comeback and return to Gemir......

"This Crown Prince Raymond doesn't seem to be very kind to us, so he shouldn't be the one to support us."

"But judging from his tone, he doesn't like his royal brother Prince Marcus too much."

- Dare to love this prince who does not like either the Federation nor Marcas...... Are they more disliked than Prince Raymond?

……

Thinking of this, Ax suddenly felt a little strange, as if he was being targeted by some beast, and his heart panicked.

He couldn't help but look up, and found that Prince Raymond's gaze had turned to him again at some point.

Those dark blue eyes looked like they were staring at their prey at the moment, and they looked extremely dangerous!

At that moment, Axes felt that he was having some difficulty breathing, and he couldn't breathe...... But soon, he suddenly felt relaxed again, and the feeling of oppression in his body a second ago seemed to be his delusion.

He reflexively turned his head to look at Chen Jing - it must have been the general who strengthened his sensory barrier for him!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In general, the Dark Sentinel's suppression of the Chief Sentinel is absolute.

However, the spiritual power of the mermaid sentinels was as strong as their bodies, and their chief was originally stronger than the human chief, so when Chen Jing erected a stronger sensory barrier for Ax, Raymond was not terrified by the power of the dark sentinels.

But the coldness on his face was no longer perfect, but showed a hint of ferocity when encountering a powerful enemy.

The sentinels present were immediately affected - oh my God, this feeling of being suppressed by two super strong sentinels was so painful!

Among the officers and representatives present, only Prince Axes and Colonel Lin Zexi were guides, and they were more susceptible to the influence of the sentry's mental power.

Axes was well protected by Chen Jing, but Lin Zexi's side was not very good.

In addition to ensuring that he does not faint in the confrontation between the dark sentinel and the chief sentinel, Hain also has to protect Lin Zexi with all his might, although he is the youngest and most promising officer in the Federation, but in the end he is a second seat, and the gap with the chief and dark sentinel is not a little.

Just when Hain was about to lose his bearing, Representative Hardy also stiffened and broke out in a cold sweat.

He originally thought that this time they were going to take the waterway, and they didn't have to stay on land, and they would be much more comfortable, but he didn't expect that they still didn't escape this uncomfortable state!

He felt that if this continued, let alone friendly cooperation between the two sides, it would be difficult to predict whether they would tear their faces.

Representative Hardy was secretly received by the Sea Emperor before he set off, and he had his own arduous task to complete, but he couldn't let Prince Raymond continue to confront the marshal of the Federation!

Under tremendous pressure, he said with difficulty: "Although Marcus left on his own initiative, it is also an indisputable fact that he led some of our people to defect from Gamir, at this point, please believe in the sincerity of the merfolk clan, we will definitely do our best to cooperate with the federal army this time to find the traces of Marcus and other rebels!" ”

It was probably his words that caught the attention of Chen Jing and Raymond, and they finally did not continue to fight, and the coercion from the dark sentinel and the chief sentinel in the conference room was no longer unbearable.

Prince Raymond thought of something when he saw that Representative Hardy dared to promise such an important thing in public, and looked at him coldly.

- It seems that before they set off, the father gave an order to this guy......

I thought of going with Prince Raymond, after all, no matter what Hadi said before, he had to look at his second prince first, and seemed to be asking for his consent...... But this time, his "promise" is clearly something he can do......

Who else can give Hadi such a right? Undoubtedly, it was the supreme leader of the Gemmel merfolk, the Sea Emperor of Maldez!

This is indeed good news for the federal side.

After all, the merfolk have shirked for so long, and it is the first time that they have given such a clear answer!

However, Qiuqiu also said to Akers: "The promise is given, but it is difficult to say what the situation will be when it is implemented." ”

"Will they still disobey the yin?"

"The reason why the promise was given is because the Federation's attitude is very tough, and there is also a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, if the mermaid clan still doesn't give the promise, then what kind of agreement and cooperation will come to naught, and we must give some sweetness first to stabilize the Federation."

Chen Jing naturally couldn't easily believe in the "sincerity" of the mermaid clan, and under Chen Jing's gesture, Lieutenant General Haien said to Hadi in a serious tone: "Our search and rescue work is imminent, and if your best efforts do not play a substantive role, it will not be of much significance." ”

Representative Hardy smiled wryly: "Of course, of course, we know this very well. ”

He pondered it for a moment and told Chen Jing and them the news he had gotten.

"Marcus took away a total of nearly a hundred merfolk from Gamir, more than half of them were awakened."

Speaking of this, Hardy was feeling distressed - you know, how precious these awakened are, and they were taken away more than 50 like this, which simply made Gamir and the Sea Emperor drip blood!

"Marcus took the group of merfolk who had left Gemir with him and named them Jörmungadr."

"If nothing else, their current number of mermaids should exceed one hundred and twenty, because according to the analysis of the situation in some Nerde seas, they are deliberately taking in Nerde's wandering mermaids in the process of hiding around."

Chen Jing and the others finally heard valuable news, and they were all very serious.

Representative Hardy glanced at Prince Raymond and felt that the other party had no intention of stopping him, so he continued: "Originally, the merfolk on the three planets had no way to communicate, but there was a federation ...... With the help of the Federation, we have established contact with the merfolk on the other two planets, and this time they have received similar information to us. ”

The Federation's support for the merfolk has given them the right aircraft for the merfolk to use, and even warships, submarines and mechas.

It's just that the merfolk have a very strong individual combat ability, and instead of adapting to submarines and being trapped in mechas, it is more convenient and faster to fight quickly by yourself...... So submarines and mechs were not widely used.

But aircraft and warships are not the same......

Just as the storage of Nerd Crystal Iron on the Planet Nede is far greater than that of the other two planets, the number and strength of the Nerd Merfolk are far greater than those of the other planets.

Through the technology obtained from the Federation, the Mermaid Royal Family of Nerde has developed its power to the other two planets, and it can be said that it dominates the Merfolk Race in the Fifth Star Region in the true sense.

Thinking of this, Hardy couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart - the reason why the Sea Emperor and his eldest son have come to this point today can be said to be because of the relationship of the Federation, but they did get incalculable benefits from it...... I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to continue like this......

Seeing that Representative Hadi had said some information, but there was still a certain distance from what they hoped to get, Lieutenant General Hain asked, "Since we can know the number of the other party, what about the whereabouts of the other party?" It won't be without any news, will it? ”

When Hardy heard the other party ask about this, he immediately became cautious, he hesitated for a moment, and replied: "We only infer the data based on the decrease in the number of wandering mermaids in the surrounding waters, and we can't say that it is completely accurate, as for the tracks...... You also know how fast we merfolk travel in the sea, and in the sea, mermaids want to hide, and there are many ways, for the time being...... No specific clues have been found to know their whereabouts. ”

He paused for a moment, and found that several federal officers on the other side were not very satisfied, and hurriedly added: "Of course, we will not stop the pace of searching, if there is any news, we will definitely contact you immediately!" ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In this meeting, due to the belated "sincerity" of the mermaid clan, Chen Jing and the others finally got some useful news.

But the real problem has not been solved, and it can only be said that it is better than before, not completely blind.

Although they were indeed not satisfied, they also knew that it was impossible to find their missing compatriots by relying solely on the merfolk.

Therefore, the merfolk clan's next "assistance", they must not only strive for, but also cannot rely on it completely.

This time, due to the decisive decision of the government and the military department, all the crystal ore operation areas of the three planets were shut down, and at the same time, the personnel were returned to land, and finally the Fifth Army and the First Army that came with the marshal were able to free up their hands and feet and carry out search and rescue work with all their might.

Although the Sea of Nerd is unimaginably large, as they said before - if you don't give it your all, you won't find anything!

If, like last time, they had to accept the other party's "ransom" plan when they got nothing, then their mining plan in Nerd would really change dramatically.

- The production of the Nerd Crystal Mine has decreased, which will seriously affect the military and industrial development of the Federation!

"Then please ask His Highness Raymond to bring our greetings to His Majesty the Sea Emperor of Maldez, and I hope that in the coming days, we can cooperate happily and successfully find the whereabouts of Marcas and Jörmungadre." Chen Jing looked at Prince Raymond opposite.

The other party nodded indifferently, and didn't seem to have much interest in "cooperation" and "finding Makas".

"Then we'll go first." Representative Hardy quickly answered, and Representative Nerder's mermaid began to slowly dive into the water in the cylinder in turn.

Just when Chen Jing and the others watched each other "leave".

Prince Raymond suddenly removed a chain from his hand and pushed it from the table in the direction of Ax.

He glanced at the little prince, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.

Representative Hardy next to him stared at the bracelet, his eyes were about to pop out, and he wanted to fly to get it back.

It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Second Prince didn't give him time to react, and he sank into the water after losing the chain.

He had to laugh, and under the gaze of General Chen Jingxing and others with gloomy faces, he dived down and left together.

In the Fifth Star Zone for many years, he has had countless dealings with the mermaids, so he also knows a little about the customs of the merfolk tribes, and Admiral Bimont feels that his forehead has begun to sweat......

On that bracelet, there was something shining under the light. 166 Reading Network
