Chapter 128 Rush to the front
Yuan Mu returned to the Crystal, and Gnison told Yuan Mu that an elite Turtle Man had just arrived, and he said that if Yuan Mu returned, he would send someone to find him, and that he was nearby.
Yuan Mu didn't delay long in the tavern, but just spent some time on the road. I didn't expect the turtle people elite to move so fast, it seems that they are really anxious.
Sending someone to find the Turtle People Elite, and having Leah, the Skeleton Pianist, and Bull arrange, Yuan Mu came to a boarding gate on the side of the deck that was specially prepared for the Aquarium troops.
When the ship is on a long voyage, many of the Aquarium troops will go aboard the Crystal and take turns going into the water to explore the situation.
Shipbuilder Red Sail also proposed that the Crystal could be loaded with a water tank at the bottom to carry the aquarium troops in action during the next upgrade. The water chamber allows the aquarium troops to exit from the underside of the Crystal.
Two mermaids swam out and asked, "My lord, is there something wrong?" β
When the Crystal is anchored, these Aqua troops will be sent out to be on guard. The Crystal's current aquarium unit is managed by these two mermaids.
"Uh," Yuan Mu was a little embarrassed to speak, "Can you cry now?" β
The two mermaids looked at each other, and one of them asked, "My lord, we don't understand what you mean." β
"Actually, I want three mermaid tears."
Hearing Yuan Mu's words, the two mermaids covered their mouths and chuckled. After a while, one of them said:
"My lord, the mermaid tears that outsiders say are not our tears, they are a rare resource, and only a few mermaid cities will produce them. Mermaid Tears have a strong magical power, can restore injuries and exorcise some basic curses, and can also be used as an alchemical material. β
Yuan Mu blushed, coughed twice to maintain his majesty, and said with some embarrassment: "Then do you have it?" β
"My lord, mermaid tears are still very rare, and Sapphire City will not produce them. However, Beizhu Reef can be formed, and Lady Flo has it. β
Although the two mermaids were recruited in Sapphire City, Oliya instilled in them a lot of the benefits of the ValΓ©li Lake Shell Reef when she was still an elite.
The curse on Amelia's body, Flo also knew that Mermaid Tears was just a resource and should not help Amelia much. However, if Victor wants to refine a potion to remove the curse, he can ask him for a copy.
It's good to know that Flo has it, Yuan Mu wants to complete Victor's mission as soon as possible to deepen the connection, and he also wants to see Victor's zombie face and see the surprised expression on his face that he found the mermaid's tears so quickly.
Back in the command room, it didn't take long for his subordinates to inform the Turtle Man Elite that they were coming, and they also brought another Elite over, who was a Lobster Man.
As soon as the turtle people elite came in, they didn't even introduce the lobster people, and said directly: "Aoke Village has just received the news that Captain Viku went to the Pearl Sea to deal with them, and now the city lord has ordered the troops to shrink and make every effort to develop the city." Aoke Village may be upgraded to a Level 3 city at any time. β
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Yuan Mu was puzzled: "But even if Ao Shell Village is promoted to level 3, it can't complete the accumulation of troops in a short period of time, why don't you use these resources to improve the strength of your troops?" β
"Aoke Village wants to give priority to the construction of the city's defense facilities after it is promoted to level 3, so that Aoke Village will not be easily captured. Hmph, they've always been shrunken turtles. The lobster man next to him replied, and he didn't care that he was also a turtle man next to him.
Seeing Yuan Mu looking at him, he introduced himself: "I'm from Slippery Shell Village, which has been destroyed. Just call me Slippery Shell. β
Yuan Mu nodded, it was indeed easy for Ao Shell Village to protect itself by doing this, but other cities under their protection could not guarantee safety. Perhaps this is also what Aoke Village is happy to see.
"So what can we do?" Whether it was the great increase in the strength of the red-haired pirates to control this sea area, or the stable transition of Aoke Village to a third-level city, it was not what Yuan Mu wanted to see.
The turtle people elite said: "We are going to spread the news of Captain Viku's return from the Pearl Sea in this sea area as soon as possible, the city in this sea area feels threatened and will go to ask Ao Shell Village to send troops." β
"Many of these cities usually hand over a lot of resources to Aoke Village, so that Aoke Village can help them defend against pirates. It is also with these resources that Aoke Village can develop so quickly in this barren sea area. β
Yuan Mu felt that they hadn't finished speaking, and asked, "What if Ao Shell Village doesn't care about these cities and keeps its doors closed?" Didn't you say it's their style? β
"That's why we're looking for you, and we've decided to cooperate with you and go together to eliminate some red-haired pirates while Captain Viku hasn't returned." The news of the pirates is also spreading quickly, and we just learned that you have defeated the orc pirate hero. β
"We want you to gain some prestige in this sea, so that the Shell Village will feel threatened by you to replace them, so that it will be easier for them to send troops. If they still act as shrunken turtles, we will find a way to unite those cities to form a third force outside of the red-haired pirates and Shell Village. β
Yuan Mu got up and paced, thought seriously under the gaze of the turtle people elite and the slippery shell, and suddenly asked:
"Actually, I'm curious, you have such a great hatred for Shell Village, why don't you choose to join the side of the red-haired pirates?"
The Lobsterman immediately replied, "We hate pirates too, and they plundered us a lot before the village was destroyed." β
"Well, I can go with you to eliminate some of the red-haired pirates, but how can you help me?"
"We can help you find out the location of the Orc Pirate Hero and the Walrus Pirate Hero, and we can also provide you with some troops. One part is the pirates, and the other part is the aqua troops. β
"Good. But I need to go back to the undersea forest first, and if that's okay, then I wish us a great time working together. Yuan Mu finally said.
Agreeing on a meeting place with Gray Jia and Slippery Shell, Yuan Mu returned to the command room alone to think.
Gray Armor and Slippery Shell definitely have something to hide from themselves, but it's understandable, after all, they just started working together. But because they had just started to cooperate, they were so enthusiastic, which made Yuan Mu a little doubtful of their sincerity.
Whether it was to eliminate the red-haired pirates or unite the cities of this sea, it was Yuan Mu's purpose, so Yuan Mu did not oppose them.
But Yuan Mu guessed that most of them also wanted to let themselves rush to the front, attract their attention and consume their own strength at the same time.
Yuan Mu sneered. "In the end, don't you still have the strength to speak?"
-------------------------
Yuan Mu walked out of the command room and onto the deck, where his subordinates reported that Ursa and the Dragonskin Warriors had returned.
The dragon-skinned warriors were each slightly injured, and their defense was high, and these were nothing.
Ursa was the one who was most cared for by the pirates, not only did he have a few small wounds on his body, but even his eyes were swollen. But he was excited, and he finally got over it today.
"My lord, I beat that orc assassin so hard that his face is now swollen bigger than mine."
Yuan Mu looked at his fat face and said with a smile: "It's good to teach him a lesson, and he dares to beat my idea." Go get some rest, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. β
