Chapter 312: Island Turtle's Deterrence
"You better go back, merciful lord. People who really want to live well will do their best to get out of that cave. If you go, you'll just get stuck there. ”
A thin middle-aged man wrapped in a blanket, ragged, and unshaven beard, holding a hot broth in both hands, looked at the white-robed young priest in front of him with sincere eyes, and tried to advise the other party, hoping to dispel the other party's idea of moths to a fire.
The middle-aged man was a refugee, a refugee from the Kingdom of Emmen, one of the passengers on the back of the island turtle.
Edward and others waited for the island turtle to land, and another wave of Emmen refugees escaped, for this group of refugees, Edward, who knew about the island turtle's actions early, arranged for people to be ready to receive them in advance.
At this time, a bowl of hot broth is far more useful for refugees than a calming magic.
The middle-aged man with whom Edward spoke was the leader of this group of refugees.
Hearing the middle-aged man's advice, Edward was silent for a while before shaking his head. Edward could hardly imagine how a kingdom would have to do evil in order for its people to call its kingdom "the devil's cave".
"But there are children, the elderly, and women who don't have the ability to escape, do they? They were waiting for help. ”
Met Edward's calm gaze, the middle-aged man knew that the kind adult in front of him did not give up his original idea because of his words, the middle-aged man sighed, and after a long time he spoke again: "...... That's right, there are people who can't escape. ”
"Our goal is clear."
"Dear Lord, actually...... Hey, I'd say, it's not worth it! You and your church should not be bogged down in the quagmire of Emmen, I escaped with my villagers, and I know very well what we are going to do there. My lord, the children, women, and the elderly you are talking about are actually propaganda for the old men of Emmen, who will more or less give those people a little ration. ”
Edward knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was indeed thinking about him, but Edward still exposed the middle-aged man's white lie.
"There are people who have been helped, but only a small part, and for the Kingdom of Emmen, a kingdom with closed information, propaganda doesn't really need too many people, does it?"
Hearing Edward's words, the middle-aged man's body stiffened, and he stared at Edward in a daze, as if he wanted to engrave Edward's appearance deeply into his mind, and after a while, the middle-aged man put down the soup bowl in his hand and bent over Edward to the end.
“…… You are a good person. ”
After leaving some supplies and handing over the temporary camp to the thin middle-aged man, Edward took Andre and the others to set foot on the island turtle.
Edward, they set off again.
Sitting on the back of the island turtle, Edward glanced at the makeshift camp on the riverbank that was fading away, his eyes flashing with a complicated light.
As the number of refugees he came into contact with increased, Edward became more and more curious about the Kingdom of Emmen, how this kingdom continued to exist, and the degree of oppression of the people simply refreshed Edward's three views.
As far as Edward's feeling is concerned, the upper echelons of the Emmen Kingdom are so tormented, even if Edward hears that the Emmen Kingdom has set off a civil war of dynasty change the next day, Edward will not be surprised.
The young island turtle turned its head across its head and met Edward's eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, it proposed, "Your Highness Edward, why don't you wait until Emmen arrives and let me stay with you for a while?" With me, the Drop Spider will not dare to approach, so that the actions against you on the Emmen side will be delayed. ”
As a high-level intelligent demonic beast with extraordinary bloodline, the island turtle naturally has an oppressive force for ordinary creatures, not to mention the drop spider that even the demonic beast can't even call it, the ordinary high-level demonic beast will sense the breath of the island turtle, and will decisively take a detour.
The island turtle looks kind, but it does possess super strength.
Although the island turtle under him is young, Edward still believes that the other party has a powerful power to call for wind and rain in a region!
Hearing the island turtle's proposal, Edward looked up at the island turtle, and without thinking about it, he directly shook his head and rejected the island turtle's proposal: "No, your time is more precious than ours." ”
That's right, island turtle time is more "precious".
Island turtles roam the banks of the Tanggula River, constantly transporting refugees from Emmen.
Edward was very self-aware, and compared to the Island Turtle, Edward was well aware of what they were doing, and in terms of the final effect alone, the effect was much lower than that of the Island Turtle.
After all, there are not many people in the Ancient Asian God Cult, and Edward and Andre can save a few villages in a short period of time.
But the island turtle is different, it is constantly traveling back and forth between the banks of the Tanggula River, it is fully capable of transporting the population of dozens of villages, and in the same time, the island turtle can save more people.
After staring at Edward for a moment, the island turtle nodded silently.
The island turtle retracted its head and swam intently, and in Edward's perception, the "island" beneath him moved a little faster.
After silently calculating the approximate time in his heart, Edward looked back at the ancient Ya Divine Sect behind him who were hurrying to rest, Edward took a deep breath and said, "Everyone check the salute and make final preparations, we have a 'tough battle' to fight next, now, everyone lift my spirits!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The group of people who were still resting with squinting eyes just now immediately woke up, and under the leadership of Andre, they quickly checked the equipment and props they carried.
With the speed of the island turtle, it did not make Edward and the others wait for a long time, and the riverbank on Emmen's side came into the field of vision of Edward and the others.
Unlike the well-laid and purpose-built banks of the Nonorila, there are almost no embankments on this side of the Kingdom of Emmen, with low bushes and small plateaus jutting out of the water like islands, which are the banks of the Emmen side, like rainforests.
The island turtle followed a river and went up the river into the jungle.
Originally, you could still hear some frogs and birdsong, but with the arrival of the island turtle, the overlord of the water, the coercion belonging to the high-level wisdom demonic beast immediately filled the jungle, as if it had been choked by the neck, and the entire jungle instantly became silent.
From the big river to the small river, the speed of the island turtle slowed down, and with this, Edward scanned the surrounding situation, and then Edward couldn't help but frown.
With the extraordinary vision of his own eyes, Edward saw many silent hunters in the jungle.
The giant crocodile with its two eyes on the surface of the water, the terrifying snake that hides in the woods disguised as the branches of the trees, the vicious fish monster that lurks under the water, and all kinds of small poisonous monsters hiding in the shadows......
The whole jungle is full of murderous machines.
Edward took a light breath, he was a little glad that he had asked the island turtle in this smuggling operation, otherwise these various magical beasts in the jungle alone would be enough for Edward's group to toss.
If it weren't for the harassment of the monsters along the way, Edward believed that by the time they arrived at a certain village in the Kingdom of Emmen, the image of most of the people in the team would be worse than that of the refugees! - When the time comes, judging from the image, it is not known who helped whom.
