Varla Empire, White Reef Waterfront.

The oceans of this world are dangerous and abnormal, and the sea is not ushering in spring flowers, only fierce tides and evil beasts.

Even though the shores of Pulau Branca, facing an inland sea called Kacatino, are still not safe.

That's why the Varla Empire built a bunker with a watchtower on the reef on the beach.

In the leaky bunkers, two Sea Guards are crouching around campfires, shivering in the sea breeze – even with the flowering season approaching, the weather in this area is still cold, not to mention the damp sea breeze.

"When will the weather get warmer......

One of the guards, who carried a bow and arrows on his back, complained dissatisfiedly while roasting the fire: "In the future, I must let my family run away and be transferred to the surrounding cities to be a city guard, this kind of ghost place is really too difficult." ”

"Don't think about it, it's better for you not to do that, it is said that the activities of the Shoe Cult have become active for some reason recently, are you going to be a city guard now to fight against the Shoe Cultists?"

Another guard with a spear beside him said disapprovingly: "Actually, we are not bad now, but those colleagues who came on duty during the frost and fog season are really miserable. Especially when I went to lookout, I heard from my friend that the man's face was as white as a snowman when he changed shifts, and he had an ice skate on his chin. ”

"You must have been deceived," said the man with the bow and arrows on his back, "I heard that they were all cowered in the back of the main fort at that time, because the sea near the sea will be frozen in the frost and fog season, and there will be no sea beasts and fishmen, so there is no need to be really vigilant, just get through." ”

In fact, the sea beast or something is just an addition, after all, the vast majority of sea beasts do not have the ability to move freely on land, so the main purpose of this bunker is to prevent the fish people, the fish people of this world will often be like the ancient nomads, when they are about to enter the frost and fog season, they emerge from the sea and plunder a wave on the shores of the ocean.

For these psoriasis that can escape back to the sea if they can't be defeated, human countries don't have a good way, at most, they can only build some fortresses like this for warnings, so that the surrounding cities can defend in advance, the fish-people are still marine creatures in the final analysis, and they don't have too strong siege capabilities, as long as they respond in time, there will be no big problems.

"Really?" The spearman couldn't help but be furious when he heard this: "That guy actually dares to lie to me!" No wonder he said it so badly every time, and he always rushed to go to the class in the frost and fog season! ”

It's a pity that his impotent fury here can't change anything, and in the end, the anger is still blown out by the cold wind that pours in.

"Speaking of which, do you know why the other side has been in such a mess lately?" After the anger disappeared, the spearman felt a little empty in his heart, so he simply changed the subject.

The White Reef Coast is located on one side of the Inland Sea of Cacatino, and on the other side it is no longer the territory of the Varla Empire, but the United Kingdom of Tegluno.

Although the internal structure of the Tegarno Federation is loose, and the member states are always noisy there, and it seems that there is little cohesion, but in the event of an invasion by foreign enemies, it will become extremely united.

After the Valla Empire had annexed most of Tiera, the former emperor who had been complacent had planned to take the Tagruno Federation in one go, at least a few smaller kingdoms, but was beaten back by the opposite side of the United Empire, and slammed the next door.

If it weren't for the fact that after repelling the invasion of the Empire, those Federation forces immediately fell apart and did not take advantage of the invasion, perhaps the Empire would have lost a piece of territory in turn.

People living on the fringes of the two countries don't really care, no matter which country is in power, their lives haven't changed much, so they will pay attention to each other's situation as if they were watching the fun.

Some time ago, there seemed to be quite a serious riot in the Tagruno Federation, explosions occurred in several cities, and ancient machinery suddenly woke up and launched an attack to make a mess around the area, although the armies of the nobles and royal families did not have any problems because of this, the ruling power will not be shaken, and there is no rebellion in the country, but all kinds of messy situations are still quite large, so that the side across the Inland Sea of Cacatino also knows the movement.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but as far as I know, there must be a group of people rounding up something." The archers replied in a whisper: "Someone saw a group of people in black cloaks, often running around the territory of the Tegruno Federation. The explosions in the city and the ancient machinery seem to have been created by them. ”

"If the movement is so big, aren't you afraid of being arrested by the people of the Tagruno Federation?" The spearman asked incomprehensibly, "Surely they are not believers in a serious church, are they?" ”

"Because there are a lot of transcendents among those people, ordinary city guards can't catch them at all, and by the time the transcendents of the federal task force arrive, those guys have already left with a swagger." The archers shook their heads, indicating that the people of the Tegruno Federation did not want to arrest those people, but that they could not catch them.

"But in that case, they must have been blacklisted as well, right? After that, it will be a lot of trouble to move within the Tegruno Federation. The gunner felt that this group of people was a little difficult to understand: "What is it that is worth risking being liquidated by Wang ** afterwards, and having to make such a big fuss to arrest it?" ”

"I don't know, it's said to be a kind of human-like thing." The archer gave an oozing smile.

"A bit like a human? Don't talk so weirdly, I'm a little flustered......"

"The last time I heard this from the Foot Merchant was before I came on duty, and it was said that the thing that the black-robed man was going to catch ended up jumping into the Kacatino Sea." The archers didn't care about the trembling spearmen, and continued: "The black-robed man also summoned a huge water elemental to catch the human-like thing, but unfortunately it failed in the end, and the human-like thing just disappeared......"

The spearman stood up.

"What are you going to do?" The archer asked.

"I'm going to pee...... Gan, if you continue like this, my Gil will be frozen. The gunner replied, "In a little while it will be my turn to be on duty at the watchtower, and I don't want to blow my brother in such a place." ”

"Let's go, be careful not to get eaten by strange things." The archer said evilly.

"Fuck off!" The spearman cursed unpleasantly, and then ran to a far corner, just enough to pee into the sea through the viewing hole below.

However, before he could start to feel better, he saw a pair of strange, emotionless orange pupils staring at him coldly through the observation hole above......

"Strange, monster——!"
