Chapter 297: Strange Decisions and Pawns
Huggins gently stroked the treasure in his hand, which had taken years of painstaking planning.
Although he had never seen the real thing in person, he felt the power of the hidden spiritual resonance with himself, and Huggins was very sure that this was the treasure he was looking for, the "Heart of the Sea", which condensed the power of the Black Sea!
More precisely, the huge sapphire that rests in the middle of the four arches of King Cyrius's crown.
What appears to be an uncut rough stone has a perfect oval shape, even larger than a baby's fist in comparison.
In rough sapphire, it may not be the size of the scale. But what is rare is that the texture is transparent and pure, and even under the light, six shining stars will appear on the surface of the gemstone, and the meeting point is precisely in the middle of the gemstone.
This natural preciousness is also the main reason why it was "lucky" to be placed on the head of King Cyrius.
And who would have thought that the most striking place in this world should be hidden in theory, but the greatest and mysterious power on this sea is hidden?
Having obtained this coveted thing, Huggins did not take a second look at the other treasures of the third layer, and seeing that the pirates had finished packing, he decisively ordered:
"Let's retreat!"
Although the pirates were extremely enthusiastic about the rest of the wealth, no one dared to take an extra gold coin on the ship, lift the packed essence of the vault, and leave in a group.
At this time.
From the breach of the Golden Lion City, to the forcible demolition of the large treasury, to the harvest of obtaining the maximum load, even if you add a few battles in between, it was only an hour and a half.
At 8:15 this morning, the people were still on the Fluorescent Beach on the southern shore of the Eternal White Land, and now at 11:52 they had completed their raiding plan in the heart of the Kingdom of Tairo in the Old World.
They still have about 1 hour and 20 minutes to evacuate compared to the projected five hours of operation.
It only took 1 hour to go upriver from the mouth of the sea with a large army, and now the light car is simply going downstream, and the speed will only be faster!
There was plenty of time.
"My lord, aren't we going to take these sea monsters with us?"
The pirates had slowly approached the south gate of the "Golden Lion City", and Hemmer found that the sea monsters he had brought were still in place, so he cautiously reminded the pirate king.
The 44 sea monsters that landed in the Golden Lion City with Huggins, after several battles, at this time, with the 4 survivors of the engineering team, there were still 17 large species and 6 small species left.
By any standard, these sea monsters are a force to be reckoned with to any force on the continent.
Generally speaking, if there is a captain on the sea who has a large sea monster as a "pet", his own strength is passable.
The combination of human intelligence and the power of a sea monster would be regarded as equivalent to a "quasi-legendary" warship of the lowest level, a force that ordinary ships simply cannot resist.
Even if Hemmer knew that Huggins was planning a promotion ceremony, even an extremely powerful fourth-order "powerless" should not lose this level of help at will.
"Sea monsters, we'll soon not need them again, or you won't want to see them again!"
Huggins sold the pass and didn't explain much to Hemmer, but went back and used the snail given by Heinmutz to loosen the restrictions on the surviving sea monsters.
Moo!
Hiss!
After such a long time, most of the living in the Golden Lion City have fled from the North Gate. Following the instinct of the mother of the sea monsters, most of the liberated sea monsters rushed to the "Golden Dome Cathedral", the most human place in the city.
It's just that the sea monsters with low IQs obviously retain a chaotic nature.
Some are overwhelmed by the power of the true gods, some charge regardless of the stuffy head, and some run around the city to "prey" on the survivors trapped in the collapsed buildings after the waves have raged
For a time, the demons in the "Golden Lion City" danced wildly!
In the cathedral, the evacuees who thought they had escaped could no longer hide, so they had to save themselves.
"Is Huggins crazy? Leaving on his own, only to leave so many sea monsters here?!"
Even if it was unbelievable to Huggins's strange behavior, in the face of the siege of the sea monster, Bishop Jasper, the strongest man on the human side, had to force his body to attack.
[Divine Arts, Kingship, Commands!]
With the powerful divine skill extended from the goddess's [royal power] priesthood, it can absolutely command hostile units (mainly living organisms, and the bishop or above can command non-living organisms) in a short period of time, and the specific number is calculated based on the strength of the two sides.
Under divine magic.
The two large species with sharp minions and obvious specialization in combat instantly turned against each other and slaughtered their companions around them.
"Whew!"
"Sting!"
“”
"Hah! Make use of the last bit of heat, and I hope the Brotherhood and the Black Iron Cross will enjoy this gift." ’
Ignoring the chaos here, he led a group of his men to turn around and leave.
The Pirate King was so thoughtful that until the last moment, no one could guess what the Pirate King's next move would be.
Stomp and tread
As soon as the large group walked out of the south gate, a uniformly dressed procession was greeted by an elegant man dressed as a gentleman with a silver cane.
Still far away, the leader had already saluted the Pirate King respectfully: "Lord Huggins, congratulations on finally getting your wish!"
Behind him, dozens of members of the Mafia family bowed in unison, their movements looking far more well-trained than those of the so-called elite pirates.
"Lord Huggins!"
Seeing the visitor, Huggins suddenly had a smile on his face:
"Hahaha, look who is here? My disciple Danfoy!
Seeing you here, it's clear that you've done your mission perfectly once again!"
Even though it was one of the most central parts of Huggins' plan, the current "leader" of the Mafia family did not have the slightest hint of pride.
"No, sir, the first few months of lurking are just a prelude, and it will be 1 hour and 15 minutes before my mission is completely over.
The family's personnel have already completed the transfer while the citizens are evacuating, and our manpower is also in place in every city along the Leiden Valley, just waiting for the last moment to come!"
Huggins, who is well aware of the strict character of this disciple, believes that the other party will not let him down this time.
After bowing slightly, he noticed that this proud disciple who had reached the peak of the second order had been carrying a person in his hand even when he was saluting, and he asked with some curiosity, "What's going on?"
"Lord Huggins, the early plan for the lurk was not without omissions.
This naval gentleman, Thomas Gregory, went to the Mafia family's station to investigate information, but fortunately I found out.
However, after the interrogation, I feel that he may be of great use to your cause. ”
Danford Maffeia dropped Thomas to the ground, which he had been carrying, and then briefly explained his identity to Huggins.
Thomas once brazenly said that he would fight the Pirate King with the "Scarlet Lake", but he didn't even dare to move. Although he tried to pretend to be calm, he was easily defeated by Evan and the man named Danford, and Thomas's heart was on the verge of collapse.
In other words, it is this powerful son who is used to being the king and hegemon at home, and after going out, he was "defenseless" and endured a severe beating from society, as if he had been seriously traumatized.
Huggins looked at Thomas's wandering eyes, thinking of the next step after today's long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and he could have laid out a move in advance, so he nodded with satisfaction:
"Is Gregory a meritorious family of Elijah who is also related to Jerome, the banner man of the new aristocracy?
Not bad! Not bad! It's a good chess piece. Congratulations, your life has been saved.
I don't have time to entertain you right now, but"
He beckoned to one of the pirate cadres beside him, who handed him a brass seal in the shape of a sail.
Call!
Huggins gripped the skull-shaped grip, and with a quick wave of his hand, the rough bottom of the seal rubbed against the air, turning red.
A foot on Thomas's wrist suppressed his struggle, and he raised his hand to seal the seal.
Zila
The skin is charred and the meat is mixed with the aroma of meat.
A skull emblem with a crown and eight octopus wrists and feet has been emblazoned on the forearm of Thomas's right hand.
"Ahh
The young man's terrible screams made the pirates around him laugh.
Most of them had tasted it, but it was of their own free will. Because only the most loyal members of the Pirate King will apply to be branded with the Pirate King's exclusive emblem!
It was a sign of sorcery that would appear on the bone unless he gave up his sword's right arm, even if he shaved off all the flesh on his arm.
Exclusive emblem means absolute loyalty!
Even pirates with this emblem can still be treated as superior under the Pirate King, which is an honor that many ordinary little pirates simply cannot ask for.
Squatting beside Thomas.
Through his wandering gaze, Huggins probably had sensed the possible problems in the soul of this powerful man after suffering several blows, and said with some meaning:
"Don't worry, Mr. Thomas, I'll come to you sooner or later! Hahaha"
Subsequently.
Thomas, who was lying on the ground and curled up like mud in excruciating pain, was not worried that he would run back to report the Mafia family, and a group of mermaids boarded the "Eternal Icon" docked on the shore.
By this time, after an hour and a half, the water level in the Leiden River had long since returned to the level it was before the influx of seawater. It may not be very friendly to some species of large species of sea monsters. Fastest update Desktop::/
But it was still not a problem for this corsair.
Re-attaching the leash to the "Neptune Shell", with the help of the ability of the last large species and the two small species "Sea Tide Shell", a wave about three meters high, although smaller, but faster.
In the "Golden Lion City", the more and more tragic roars and shouts of killing between sea monsters and humans are endless!
Whoa, whoa, whoa
In the swift wave, the pirates went all the way down the river, and in the blink of an eye they had disappeared around the corner of the "Red Shrimp River Bay".
At the end of the journey, the most critical fourth step of this operation is waiting for them!
