Chapter 296: Sea Beast
The attack came swiftly and violently, and before the screams of the alert had completely dissipated, the intruders had already rushed everywhere. At this time, Ge Yin finally saw the monster in front of him.
The monster resembled a jackal magnified several times over, with overly thick and disproportionate limbs and a long crocodile-like tail. When it pounced on the person in front of it and stood up and swung its claws, the webbing between its fingers was clearly visible. There was not a single hair on the rough skin, and the oil secreted from the surface of the body reflected a faint light, like scattered waves on the surface of the sea.
A brave squire rushed up to fight the monster, much to Kakure's relief. Fortunately, the monster that suddenly appeared was not very powerful. In the middle of the fight, another squire joined the battle group, wanting to quickly solve the trouble in front of him, while the others quickly retreated back under Ge Yin's guard.
Hearing the voices of people behind him, the two attendants who had previously blocked the monster retreated safely, and Ge Yin stopped and looked at the ships on the sea, all of which were still safe and sound.
Most of the people in this position were looted coolies, as well as a small number of guards. Ge Yin only appeared here at night on a whim.
They had already prepared for the worst, and even the women who accompanied them were mostly equipped with swords. Because people know that if they want to open up in a strange land, blood and fire are inevitable. It's just that I didn't expect that the base, which had always been safe, would be attacked by wild beasts.
The wizard, who had failed to do his duty due to a moment of negligence, ran over with a short sword that was still dripping blood, slightly embarrassed. Before he could stand firm, Ge Yin asked in a loud voice, "How many more?"
"There are only more than 100 of them in front of me. ”
"Again, there are no other threats around here. ”
Hearing this, the wizard was silent for a long time and reaffirmed: "There is no other threat, only the hundred and so beasts in front of you. He looked at Ge Yin's slightly gloomy face, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep carelessly. ”
"Tomorrow morning, you first go out to sea to inspect the nearby seas. ”
Ge Yin didn't look at him again, but frowned at the beasts that were still ravaging on the beach. Instead of cleaning up the beasts at night, the scholars stayed where they were and picked up the escapees. It wasn't until dawn, when these beasts of a night of revelry were exhausted, that the clean-up began.
This appears to have been a sudden, fortuitous event, and no anomalies have been observed in the nearby seas. For scholars, the loss of this incident is not large, and most of the casualties are some unarmed hard labor, but the trouble caused is not small. Re-appeasing the panicked laborers and clearing the scattered camps will inevitably be delayed for a few days.
Ge Yin was a little anxious, and he intuitively felt that a huge shadow was coming towards him.
The group of sea beasts that appeared inexplicably was more like a forced migration. They may have been hiding from danger, which is why they struck here by mistake. All of their reactions are instinctive, snatching a new territory to settle in.
Ge Yin was hiding in his tent, looking at the direction of the ocean currents marked on the chart in front of him, guessing where the beasts were coming from. He had to figure out where the danger came from so that the migrating fleet would not come head-on with it.
The attack on the camp was not a good thing in the eyes of many people, but Ge Yin was secretly rejoicing. It is better to find a problem now than to be in distress in the middle of nowhere.
Just as Ge Yin was pondering, new news came that an even larger sea beast had been discovered to the west.
......
Today, the looted coolies got good news. After completing this shipment, the scholars will let them go home. And to thank them for their hard work during this time, a certain amount of reward will be given.
The scholars did what they said they would and moved out of the cash box shortly after the news was announced......
Some injuries and illnesses were also sent home early by scholars. The scholars promised that those who stayed behind would be compensated more at the end of their work.
This move immediately excited the laborers, and they swept away the previous bald waste. The energy has reappeared in this group of people, and the enthusiasm for work has never been higher.
These hard labors that were originally going to be taken away, Ge Yin finally made up his mind to give up after hesitating for a while. It's good to take the scholars away one at a time, and as for the coolies to find a way to get there, this is not a place to stay for long.
Three days later, the scholar fulfilled his promise and gave it to the laborers, and then hoisted his sails and hurriedly disappeared into the sea.
The laborers stood on the beach and looked at each other, and the days of carrying them knew that the base was still intact and that the rest of the supplies were still piling up.
Why should this be given to them?
People fell into a brief state of sluggishness. The sudden loss of control and restraint did not make them feel free and relaxed, but rather a little at a loss.
The breath grew thicker and heavier, and finally turned into cheers. People began to dance and the camp began to fall into chaos. Fighting, fighting, and then they had to face the reality that many supplies were difficult to dispose of alone.
Although they are hard laborers, they have been strictly managed for a long time. A trace called order, cooperation, has not yet dissipated in the body. So, according to the usual work habits, these hard labors were reintegrated into a whole. They cleaned up the scattered camps and pondered over the riches, hoping to find a real solution.
In a flash, another few days passed. Even the minor nobles in the vicinity had faintly heard the rumors and were ready to come and rob them. Most of the laborers were exhausted by this huge fortune and fell asleep in the night. Completely forget about the bloody night not so long ago.
The waves gently crashed against the sand, and the sound of wading was heard again. Countless figures slowly emerged from the sea, and they walked quietly across the beach to the camp not far away......
......
When Bran, who was far away in Northland City, received the news, more than a month had passed since the incident. The southernmost coastline had been completely lost, and the two countries of Nanjiao and Lianhai retreated inland without any resistance.
And the most incredible thing for Bran is that these two countries did not issue any warning signals after some struggle. If it weren't for the City of Wisdom noticing that something was wrong, this news might have to be concealed for a long time.
When he heard that something was going on in the far south, Bran breathed a sigh of relief. If he kills from the southernmost edge in front of his eyes, then he must kill all the countries on the continent thoroughly, and he will have enough time to observe his opponent.
Today, the Cedar Kingdom has begun to send additional troops to the border. It's just that the country has been peaceful for too long, and the army's combat strength is worrying. But the real concern should be the smart city adjacent to it. He can sit here with peace of mind and watch the excitement for a while.
Flowey had awakened from her slumber, and the primordial magic in the sea of magic began to pour out of her body. As a result, Bran was able to temporarily break away from Northland and wander around.
But that wasn't enough, he had to get himself and Flowey out of Northland at the same time. Because only with Huahua is their strongest moment. Therefore, he still focused on polishing the water balls in his body, and gestured in the void from time to time......
