10 Falling from a height
As the night progressed, the rain in the sky showed no signs of stopping, but intensified.
But Duke Grant had largely ignored this by this time.
Or rather, he was already like a chicken in the soup at this time, and the witcher who saved him was busy dodging the translucent jellyfish looming in the dark clouds above, and he had no time to care.
This jellyfish is very strange, as long as it appears directly above his head, he can feel bursts of invisible power seeping into his body from the outside rain, and this penetration makes him feel more and more numb in his body.
"Don't we have support?"
Feeling that half of his body had lost consciousness with the passage of time, the Duke, who had never been chaotic since the attack, finally couldn't continue to calm down, so his voice tended to growl.
"Is it just that the church in Neham has sent you alone to save me!?"
"My companions are responsible for pestering the attackers on the manor."
The witcher, who was driving the Pegasi beneath him to run quickly in the air, calmly replied, "Time is too tight, we didn't have time to prepare more, and we didn't expect that the enemy would have already ambushed the Celestial Jellyfish. β
"Why wasn't it prepared? Didn't you hear a little bit of movement from the Sea Clan?! Duke Grant asked angrily.
"Perhaps the Duke should ask yourself."
The witcher's tone was flat, but Grant, choked up, couldn't say anything more.
Before he came, he had actually heard some news about the Sea Clan, but at that time he saw the information that the church and the royal family were negotiating with the Sea Clan.
Unexpectedly, the king of the front foot sank, and the negotiation of the back foot suddenly turned into an attack on him.
But he couldn't say that, for the same reason applied to Neham's church.
"I suspect that the Sea Clan is also in ambush in Hull!"
Looking at the dark sea below that was rapidly swept by the Pegasus as they fled, and then at the faintly lit seaside town not far away, Duke Grant changed the subject and said, "There aren't many options around, and since they have prepared the Heavenly Realm Jellyfish, they should also think of our escape route!" β
"The curse of the jellyfish is getting worse and worse, and we don't have time to go farther, so we can only hope that Hull Town has enough defenses."
The Demon Hunter responded, "Our previous plan was to send you to Innidal Heights, so the Church would not immediately think that the direction we are fleeing to now is Hammer Island, but when the Guardian Relic of Hammer Island is opened, they will react immediately. β
"How long will it take?"
"The closest island to Mace Island is White Eagle Island, and normal boat sailing takes about two hours, and the empty travel time will be even shorter."
The Witcher said, "But considering that the Sea Clan may intercept, we need to be prepared to defend for a day or so. β
"I don't have more than a hundred knights on Mace Island!" When Duke Grant heard this, he said loudly: "Counting the miscellaneous soldiers, it is only about two hundred." β
He asked from the side how much power the Church had there, but the witcher didn't respond, but said something else.
"Get ready, we need an emergency landing."
"What do you mean?"
"The cursed power of the Celestial Jellyfish doesn't just work on us."
The witcher said in a calm tone, "Although I have worked hard to maintain it, the material from which this horse is shaped is just ordinary granite. Luckily, we've beenβ"
Before he could finish his last sentence, the stone Pegasus that was running high in the air suddenly collapsed into a pile of rotting rubble and scattered, and the two of them instantly fell into a free fall, falling with a pile of stones towards the brightly lit town below!
The outcry of surprise was heard loud in the air, but it was too far away to attract the attention of anyone in the town below.
People could not have imagined that at this moment in the sky above them, two small black dots were getting closer and closer.
Instead, under the sea level outside the docks of Hull Town, a group of fishmen quietly understood everything in the sky.
The leader of the group was a slender fishman with gray skin and narrow facial features, and at this time it was staring closely at a short and fat fishman mage wearing a human linen cloak next to him, his fists sometimes relaxed and sometimes clenched, as if he was very nervous.
It wasn't until the mage suddenly opened his huge toad-like eyes and nodded at it that the strange-looking fish-man relaxed completely, and then turned to look at the subordinates behind him.
"One-tailed?"
"It's already in place." The subordinates responded immediately.
"Whitehead?"
"I can't help it."
"Claws?"
"They are filled with the stench of human waste."
"Good."
The slender fish-man with gray skin grinned when he heard this, "Our eel tribe is about to become a hero, and we will be the first sea clan heroes to reach the Gladstone Way!" β
These words made the surrounding fish people scatter in an instant, and one by one they flew fast, as if they couldn't wait.
So after a while, a sound like a whale chirping sounded leisurely from this sea area.
This sound is amazing, it can penetrate the obscuration of a large amount of seawater, and can clearly reach the ears of many fish people who are dormant at the bottom of the sea.
As a result, countless fish-people suddenly burst out, muddying the mud on the seabed and turbulent the surrounding seawater.
Then, one after another, ugly heads with fins emerged from under the surface of the sea around Mace Island, and their eyes converged on the island surrounded by them, and their eyes were full of impatience.
The leader of the blue-skinned fishmen who had hurried from the sewers of Neham was among them.
However, unlike the fishmen from other directions, his mission is to lead his men to land and attack from the east of Mache Island.
However, Shiphull is located in the western part of Hammer Island......
Compared to the task of Neham, the current one is obviously not the most important, and the credit that can be obtained after success is obviously not at the same level.
It was a bit of a boredom for him.
Especially when he came out of the water, he could faintly smell the smell of human excrement on his body, and that smell was like an invisible whip, and every time he was whipped, it could make his already bad mood worse.
So after waiting quietly for a while, he couldn't help but turn his head and yell, "Attack!" Attack with me,! β
Many fish people behind him immediately shouted excitedly when they heard this, and then rushed to the beach of the island not far away.
The leader of the fishmen who led the shouting attack did not run up after him, because he was dragged by a short fishman next to him.
"The eel leader has asked to wait until the humans open the Guardian Relic before attacking!"
"It's so far from that town, it's already open when you get there!"
The leader of the fishmen, known as Longclaw, shook off the dwarf fishmen's arms impatiently as he spoke, and then ran excitedly to the beach under the rain curtain.
There was no obstacle, and at this time, there was already a black fish-man who had successfully landed.
And when the leader arrived, they did not hesitate to rush to a fishing village not far from the beach!
The linen-cloaked fish-man mage muttered a few Sea Clan slang words in annoyance, and then followed without much hesitation.
However, as soon as he arrived at the village, he instantly sensed that something was wrong.
No one is in this village!
But judging by some of the messiness in the human dwellings, it's clear that they haven't been gone for long!
Apparently, the humans of Hammer Island were prepared for their appearance.
The fish-man mage hesitated, but the other fish-men did not say anything, and when they saw that there was no one here, they immediately ran deeper into the island.
Considering the sheer size of their own side and the arrangement of the allied heretics here, it would be useless for the humans here to be on guard, and the fish-man mage followed.
As a result, the road was very peaceful, passing several fishing villages in succession, just like the first one, and even passing by a monastery that covers a large area, but not a single person was caught from it.
However, during the hurry, I saw a large area of golden light suddenly appear in the direction of Hull Town, and then turned into a defensive shield and spread.
This shows that the human duke has successfully approached the Church of Hull, and it also means that he can no longer use supernatural means to escape!
Therefore, although he felt that something was wrong, the fish-man mage did not hesitate any longer when he saw this, and as he ran towards the location of Hull Town with the clansmen running in front, he had already drawn a driftwood staff hanging from his back.
Then he came across a large patch of light.
