Polaris Jun, an old slippery head, finally couldn't resist the huge temptation of Everbright Chinese Taoism, and still agreed to cooperate with us. Once Taoism goes to the world and becomes strong from now on, the status of the North Star Monarch will also follow the captain of the boat, and he will be the founder of the mountain in the future, and this status may even be feared by those heads and brains in the heavenly court.

"Where is he now?"

Zhenhong said: "At this time, I should still be studying the problem of your two foxes." ”

I nodded, "In that case, I won't bother him." The next time you go over and talk to him, and ask him to come to Issinger to discuss the expansion, if I'm not there, I'll find Red Moon or Eagle, or if everyone isn't there, I'll find Purple Moon or Rose. ”

"Got it, I'll tell him next time I see him."

I stood up and said, "Since the national weapon is given to you, you will be responsible." We'll find a way to collect the parts behind us, but you must protect them and don't lose them. ”

"Of course, how could I joke about the national weapon."

"Are you free during this time?" I turned to the eagle and asked them.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to the United States." I said as a matter of course: "Now things are piled up like a mountain, I can't keep dragging it out, right?" ”

Eagle said: "I'm not available. Now that I'm in Zhang Luo and Gangcheng, I'm still free! ”

Hongyue saw me looking at her and hurriedly shook her hand: "Don't look at me." Things in Tianyu City are not old and young, and I have to be in charge of personnel work. Do you think those millions of workers are worry-free? ”

"What are you going to do?" Zhenhong asked: "I'm free, but I don't know what you want people to do, if it's mental work, forget it." ”

"No, no, I'm going to have a few self-defenses."

"That's fine." True Red lit up her fist. "My fist technique, palm technique, and sword technique are all first-class. I'm good at fighting. ”

I looked at Shadow Spring, and she quickly shook her head: "I'm doing a task, although I don't have to do it, but I've already taken it." If you really don't have enough people, come back to me. ”

Ziyue happened to walk in from outside. "Are they all there?"

I hurriedly said, "It's just right, you can accompany me to the United States, right?" ”

"What for?"

"Mother Earth said that the United States produces ink jade, and I want to get some back. The transnational teleportation array can't do without that thing! ”

"Okay, I'll go."

Eagle suddenly said, "Ziri, you wait first." ”

"What's wrong?"

"I have a question."

"What's the problem?"

"On the U.S. side, do you plan to make no contact or do you want to have long-term contacts?"

"Of course, it's been a long-term relationship." I looked at the eagle strangely, not knowing what he meant.

"Since you want to develop in the United States for a long time, you can wait a few days."

"Why?"

"It's not very cost-effective to run in several times, the United States is too far away from us. It's a waste of resources for you to run around like this. ”

"So what do you want me to do?"

"I'll wait for us to find out about this matter, and then we will go to the United States together. Since you have decided to go, you can simply build a city over there. In the future, it will be more convenient to traffic on both sides, isn't it? ”

"Build a city? This project is a bit bigger, right? That's going to be a siege battle, and we can't hold it. ”

"That was before, with our current strength, if the city is not big, it can still be defended."

I thought about it. "That makes sense, but it's a big project, and I have to think about it. I have some money now. "The money my dad gave me is useless." The problem is to buy materials in the United States, but also to build cities. This has to be carefully considered, and finally there is the address problem, where is it better to build? ”

Hongyue said: "I agree with the eagle's opinion, if you want to go, you can simply build a city directly." There is one place I have arrived. ”

"You have?"

Red Moon explained, "Do you know Lake Erie? ”

"Yes. It doesn't seem too far from Detroit. You're not going to let us fix the city in Detroit, are you? ”

Red Moon shook her head. "What are you doing in Detroit? I mean it's built directly on the lake. ”

"On the lake?" Everyone shouted.

Hongyue said: "Don't we have a floating device?" Anyway, that thing only consumes energy during the ascent and descent process, so we just have to set it to the right height and float on the water, right? ”

I shook my head, "No. There's a fleet on Lake Erie, and it's not a target to float on it, right? ”

Ying said: "Then wait over there and build the city directly on top of the mining area, anyway, it's floating, isn't it more convenient to be close to the mine?" ”

"It works."

Ziyue said: "Your plans so early are in vain, and your plans can't catch up with the changes. If the Americans are vehemently opposed to us building cities over there. Maybe you won't even be able to buy the materials. ”

"That's not going to happen, I have an internal response."

"Who?"

"I don't sue you."

"Humph!"

I'm talking about Neiying is actually Terry, and his guild seems to be called the Sea King's Palace. I heard him say that he is still a little famous in the United States. If he helped, I should be able to build a city, but I'm really not at ease with this person, don't be in trouble with me when the time comes!

Ziyue asked, "What else do we have in our hands now?" ”

Hongyue took out this notepad and flipped through it: "The long-term work of the construction of the Noah, the expansion of the Steel City and the Tianyu City is not in a hurry for the time being. The construction of two cities in Europe and South Korea must wait for the ink jade from the United States to arrive, and it can be suppressed. That red-veined magic crystal mine in Europe needs to be treated as much as possible. In addition, the reconstruction of Atlantis land taken by the purple sun. There is also the issue of making peace between the White Shark Clan and the Merfolk Clan, and the investigation of the mysterious race at the bottom of the sea, these are all things. ”

Zhenhong said: "Forget what I said." The two foxes of the purple sun are still waiting for you to provide you with the youkai nedan over there! ”

"Dizzy! Accidentally, there is so much work waiting for us to be busy! "I haven't been paying attention to it, but there are so many things going on here!

Hongyue said: "So much work? If it weren't for Walmart and the others, they would have all the scientific research things, the navy would have carte blanche to act as an agent, the high-level NPCs in the city would be more efficient, my brother would help you manage Cloud City, most of the guild players would be girls and rarely cause trouble, and the two rivals of the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness would have no time to take care of us. Do you still have time to wander around the sea? I've already exhausted you. ”

Eagle added: "A few more. One is that Rose's economic management ability is too good, and although we are short of money, we have basically not slowed down the pace of development. There are also veteran players in the guild who work hard and help you block a lot of things. In addition, General Wu, Su Mei, and Xiao Yao, the three think tanks, often come up with a lot of good ideas. By the way, and the city walls. Isinger saved a lot of trouble by being so high, and if it were like a normal city, we wouldn't know how many guild battles we fought. People are afraid of our city walls and dare not attack rashly. ”

"I know it's wrong, and I'm going to fix it right away." I didn't expect everyone to work so hard. I decided to get busy right away and take the burden off everyone.

The eagle stopped me: "Don't worry! Do things with a plan. ”

I told them that I was confused, and now I remember that I haven't been assigned a task yet. I can't do that much alone. "So be it! This side of the construction work. All handed over to Vina. ”

"Huh?" Both the eagle and the red moon were startled.

"Don't be so nervous, Vina is a little fierce. It's still good for me, and if I ask her for help, she'll definitely help. The system only restricts her from directly helping us in the war, unless the temple is threatened in self-defense. But the system doesn't stipulate that she can't help direct the construction of the city. ”

"Why didn't I think of that!" Eagle nodded.

Hongyue said: "It's useless for you to think of it, who dares to talk to her except Ziri?" ”

"Yes."

I interrupted them and said, "Let's get down to business." The construction here is all hosted, and we can be idle. Red Moon and I traveled to Atlantis, and we'd go see how the rebuilding was going. By the way, let them help find the fallen objects on the Japanese shipwreck, and they can also directly promote peace talks. Eagle and Purple Moon go to Germany together to help Asford get that red-veined magic crystal mine together, remember, we want ore, not money. Don't miss a single piece of the red-veined magic crystal. ”

"What if Ashoford wants it too?"

"Talk to him, we'll try to get as much ore as we can anyway. Ordinary magic crystals can be given to Ashuford, we only need red-veined magic crystals. ”

Eagle nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I'll try to figure it out. ”

"Yes." I nodded, "So let's get moving, shall we?" ”

It's really not that I don't know, but I'm shocked. I didn't expect our guild to do so much. This is all a disadvantage caused by too fast development, but for the sake of hegemony in the future. I have to speed up again, what a contradictory unity!

After leaving the conference hall, everyone went their separate ways, and Hongyue and I went to the port to get a speedboat. Ayana never returned to Isengah. Probably there are a lot of things going on in Atlantis, and I put her in charge of the liaison between the two sides, but it seems that she is not enough for her alone.

This time, we set off with one more person besides me and Hongyue, and she was the sparkling princess of the White Shark Clan. If you want to negotiate peace, you must have this hostage, otherwise this matter will be a bit mysterious. It was almost noon when we got to Atlantis, and it was a waste of time. Next time, consider whether to build a transnational teleportation array in Atlantis.

When we got here, all we saw was the Great Jaws perched next to Atlantis, and the merfolk were busy carrying supplies down. The waterproof barrier in Atlantis had been repaired, and the thing hadn't been damaged in the first place, having only shut down due to the lack of energy. Now that we've provided the magic crystal, this thing has been restored. But Atlantis is still a mess, and in addition to cleaning up the debris of the house, it also has to remove the mud and sand. Reconstruction will not begin until the liquidation is completed. Right now, it's just transporting materials and clearing the rubble.

I approached Atlantis the Great, briefly discussed the future reconstruction, and asked him to help find the spherical object that had fallen from the Japanese battleship. Anyway, the merfolk have to collect building materials nearby, so it's not a hassle to help find things by the way.

Other than that. Atlantis the Great has some amazing news for us. The Black Octopus found a large number of Dishamo passing by them, but they were not found. The Turtle Clan was attacked, and the entire army was basically wiped out, and the magic crystal was robbed cleanly. We didn't react very much to this unexpected news, firstly, it was not ourselves who lost, and secondly, I had long guessed that this Shemo clan would not only attack Atlantis.

We only stayed in Atlantis for a short time, and then handed the Sparkling Princess to the care of Atlantis the Great for the time being, and we headed for the White Shark Clan with a map of the sparkling ocean floor. The map was very detailed, and we quickly found the gathering place by following the map, but the scene in front of us was a bit unexpected.

Before we could reach the top of the city, we saw the wreckage and corpses of the battleship. It looks like the White Shark Clan is fighting someone. Suddenly. A strange creature suspended in the water caught my attention. At first glance, it looks like a lobster, but it has a dragon-like elongated tail. From its appearance, I think of only one kind of creature - the Shemo.

This Shemo suspended in the sea has a large hole in his body. It looks like something hit the ground. Floating in the nearby waters was the corpse of a White Shark guard, and it looked like the two guys had died together. Farther away, there were more corpses, both Shemo and members of the White Shark Clan. Discarded weapons can be seen everywhere, like the scene of a battlefield site.

As we continued to push forward, we finally came across the living. As soon as those guards saw us, they immediately became vigilant, and not everyone in the White Shark Clan knew me. But fortunately, there are people who know it later.

"It's you!" A soldier swam over and saluted very respectfully.

"What's going on here?"

The soldier paused, "Yesterday morning this group of creatures suddenly attacked our city, but fortunately, the magic crystals you provided came in handy, and our defenses worked. Successfully defeated the enemy. But our army suffered heavy losses, and a relatively outlying city was destroyed. ”

I nodded: "I probably understand the situation, what about you king?" ”

The soldier immediately said: "The king is seriously injured and is now being treated, do you want to see him?" ”

"Yes."

"Then please come with me!"

Following the soldier towards the settlement, there were not many bodies and wreckage left beyond the perimeter. The White Shark Clan was really strong, and it actually withstood the attack. The intact main city shows that the enemy has only broken through the outer defense line, it is really hard to imagine how this White Shark Clan can do it, and the Atlantis side is almost one-sided to the ground and slaughtered!

When I saw the leader of the white shark, I knew how strict things were. The old fellow had a broken arm, and her lady lay on the bed next to him. With a bandage on his head, he seems to be unconscious. When he saw me enter the room, he immediately struggled to sit up.

"Don't get excited, lie down." I hurried him to stop.

He remembered. But after trying for a long time, I still lay back. I walked over to his bedside and walked past him to see the White Shark Queen over there. "It's inconvenient to talk here, isn't it?"

He looked at his wife and said, "It's okay." She's been in a coma since yesterday, and you can wake her up. ”

Since I was not afraid of affecting the patient, I said directly: "Originally, I came here today to discuss the negotiation with you. ”

He moved his body and said, "I'm afraid it won't work now, you have also seen it, we ...... here"

I nodded, "I know." When I first came in, the guards outside told me about the situation. ”

The old fellow lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling and said, "That old fellow of Atlantis would have died of laughter if he knew that we had become this virtuous." ”

I smiled and replied, "He doesn't have time to laugh at you right now." Atlantis was attacked a few days ago, and it's the same kind of creature that attacked you, so I don't know if it's a group. You've managed to keep the city. The defenses of Atlantis were completely finished, and wAp.fywAp.net main cities had fallen. Those guys snatched all the goblin crystals and collapsed the waterproof passport! Now Atlantis is rushing to repair and rebuild, and it is estimated that there will be no way to restore its former glory in a month or two! ”

"I can't imagine it. Even they were attacked. ”

"It's not just them. The same goes for the Turtle Clan, but I didn't see it at the scene, but the Atlantis Emperor told me that the Turtle Clan had suffered heavy losses. I don't think you're here for long. Those guys didn't succeed this time, but I don't think they're going to give up. ”

"I know what you said." The white shark patriarch said helplessly: "But what can we do?" Do you want to move your family? This is our home, how can we give it away at will? ”

"Actually, there's an important piece of information you don't know." I said, "But I'm afraid you won't believe me." ”

"Say it! When is it, you just say that they are afraid of the smell of kelp, I believe it. ”

"Alright then!" I explained, "First of all, I want to tell you that this is just a guess, and I can't be sure. In fact, the number of deaths after the defeat of Atlantis was not large. Most of the dead appeared in the resistance at the beginning of the fighting. The purpose of those guys is very clear, they only need magic crystals. It may sound strange, but it actually makes a lot of sense. And according to the inhabitants of Atlantis, these things seem to instinctively know the exact location of the magic crystal. And the closer they are, the more capable they feel. In other words, these things are running after the magic crystal in time, rather than deliberately attacking a certain civilization. ”

"What do you mean?"

Red Moon explained to me, "What we mean is simple. Gather all your Earth Demon Crystals and let us help keep them, and you only keep the parts that need to be used, and replenish them once they are not enough. Anyway, there can't be a lot of idle land crystals piled up here, it's a time bomb. ”

After thinking for a moment, the White Shark Patriarch said, "How are you sure that they are following the magic crystal?" ”

"It's simple." I wrenched my hand and said, "First, after Atlantis was breached, they only took magic crystals. Second, the attacked ocean races are all races with a large number of idle magic crystals. Third. The Black Octopus saw the Shemo but was not attacked, and according to Atlantis the Great, the Black Octopus had not yet received the magic crystals we were going to pay. The only race that has been in contact with each other that has not been attacked is the black octopus clan without magic crystals, isn't this a matter of name? ”

Red Moon added, "Actually, a more detailed speculation is that Shemo has a strong magic crystal sensing ability. No matter where it is hidden, as long as it is a magic crystal, it will be difficult to escape the fate of being attacked. On the other hand, Shemo is not a complete combat creature, they have a certain intelligence. It's not true that the Black Octopus Clan doesn't have magic crystals, we have already given the down payment last time, but there are not many of them. This means that Shemo will judge whether it is worth using based on the number of magic crystals and the strength of the enemy. The combat power of the Black Octopus Clan is not worth dying compared to their little reserves of magic crystals. So it was let go. If you fought with Shemo and succeeded in stopping them, they must know that you are not easy to mess with, and if you take the magic crystal away, they will have no incentive to fight. Believe that the city can be saved."

Although he was very reluctant, the White Shark Patriarch still nodded and said, "Now it can only be like this!" Although we have successfully stopped their attack, we have already lost 75% of our combat strength, and if we fight again, we will definitely lose our position. ”

I said: "You don't have to be so depressed, I don't want you, I just move away temporarily, you want to use it and not return it to you." "Actually, I said that on purpose. I know the real reason why the White Shark Patriarch is sad. The magic crystal is their lifeline, if you pull all the idle magic crystals away from us, his lifeline is equivalent to being stuck in my hands. In the future, as long as he goes the slightest wrong, our side can stop supplying magic crystals and kill them.

"How are you going to transport it?" The White Shark Patriarch asked resignedly.

"I have a super space storage capacity that I can take with me all at once."

"You won't be attacked halfway, will you?"

"Attack me? Just kidding, right? I'm not an undersea race, so there's no need to swim with you down there. They're coming, I'm just going to fly. These guys can't go to the sky and kill me, can they? If only they could get out of the water. With their strength, they would have gone ashore to look for minerals a long time ago, so they wouldn't rob you! ”

"That's it."

I went to the window and looked outside, and saw a lot of wounded people being carried to the treatment facility on the street. "You guys seem to be busy here right now, but I'm also busy. I'm going on a business trip soon, and I probably won't have time to arrange your peace talks. So......! ”

The patriarch didn't let me finish my sentence. "I know you're not at ease, but I guess your worries are unwarranted."

"Oh? Tell me about it? ”

"The ore of both of us is stuck in your hands, and if we really want to fight, we will depend on your face. Besides, both of us were attacked by that mysterious race, and if we want to fight like this, we have to be capable! The remaining 25% of our White Shark Clan's troops are even having a problem defending their own cities, how can they attack others. ”

"Even if you say so now, things that haven't been decided will change."

"And what do you want?"

"I think living together is a good option."

"Mixed?"

"The merfolk city is basically finished, and their young merfolk are now with me. If you're willing to gather the children of the White Shark Clan and send them over, I think that's enough to guarantee your sincerity. And you don't suffer a loss in this mentions. Without these children, you can do it boldly, even if those mysterious races do strike again. You don't have to worry about it anymore, it doesn't matter if you can't fight and retreat. Don't worry about the safety of the juveniles. ”

"But what do you want our children to do? Is it just to be a hostage? ”

"This isn't a hostage, I'm just holding it. I think the best solution is to let the descendants of your two tribes grow up together. No matter how good the agreement is, the descendants will complete it, and if these little ones live together from the beginning, there will be no gap between the two of you in the future. ”

"Are you trying to keep things simple?"

"You're complicating things." I walked back to his bedside and said, "You've decided, right?" If I agree, I'll start moving right away, and if I don't, forget it. I'm also short on time. We don't know when those guys will come back again, but maybe they're gathering troops not far from your city. ”

In the end, this intimidation was very effective, and the White Shark patriarch weighed the pros and cons and decided to accept our proposal. Although it is somewhat unacceptable to ask them to reconcile with the merfolk people, in fact, they have no loss. There is no necessary conflict of interest between the two clans, and reconciliation is nothing. He was mainly afraid that if the city was really breached, those children would be hurt by these monsters. Although it seems that the target of these guys is the magic crystal, there is no guarantee that they will not attack anything else.

"Okay!" The patriarch shouted outside, "Captain of the Guard." ”

A White Shark guard rushed in. "What's the matter, Your Highness?"

"Summoning the order, gather all the underage children here together and hand them over to Lord Ziri to take away. We can't afford to let our children stay and take risks. ”

"Yes,"

"Trust me. There is nothing wrong with your decision. Then we won't bother, please take care of yourself. ”

Leaving the room with Red Moon, Red Moon said to me, "You are so ruthless! ”

"Don't be deceived by appearances. It may seem that we are standing in an absolutely strong position against the White Shark Clan, but in fact our binding force is unstable. After all, the White Shark Clan has unparalleled combat power in the water, and being able to repel the Shemo Clan is the best evidence. Once they really get rid of the control, it's going to be very difficult for us to end up. In the unlikely event that they become enemies of us, we risk losing our combat effectiveness at sea from now on. Even if we can draw with them, we will not be able to deal with the Japanese. So in order to avoid crying in the future, I think it's better to be ruthless now. Besides, the White Shark Clan didn't lose anything, but gained a lot of benefits. ”

"Benefits?"

"We took away the magic crystals to give them a relatively safe guarantee, regardless of whether Shemo will attack again or not, their magic crystals are saved anyway. It's better than being looted like Atlantis, right? It's not that we don't give them away, the things are still theirs, just temporarily stored there. And those kids. Take them away to ensure 19100%% safety, if you stay, don't attack it, what if you attack? ”

That makes sense. But I still find it morally unjustifiable. ”

"Hasn't my Miss Hongyue always been ruthless? Why did you suddenly become kind today? ”

Hongyue jokingly said, "That's it! Originally, I thought I was dark enough, but with you, I realized that I was so pure and kind. ”

"Am I that bad?"

Hongyue suddenly said, "Actually, I understand what you mean. No one will pity the weak who cry in the corner, and if you don't work hard, you will only be eliminated. But I don't think you should base your success on the failures of others. ”

"I agree with what you said, but it is difficult to implement it in practice. I can't do such an esoteric conducting art yet, but you have to believe that I will not change the basic principles. Those who do not offend me will not be retaliated against. ”

"That's hard to say!"
