Chapter 217: Desperate

With the Queen's encouragement, Meng Nan reluctantly left the abandoned town and returned to the ship.

As the night fell, Meng Nan sat alone under the lamp, looking at the white silk thread in his hand stupidly, his heart turned and turned, and he kept calling for the wind and snow with his heart, but it was only in vain after all.

Meng Nan had already begun to wonder if his eyes were spent, otherwise, with the spiritual connection between the two of them due to the cold light iron cloak, how could he not have received a response from her so far?

Meng Nan lowered his head, and secretly said how to explain the white silk thread in his hand?

In the early morning, the glow of the morning sun illuminates the nearby glaciers, and dozens of Blue Devils dive into the water in search of possible destroyers of the Silang Empire.

And Meng Nan, the queen and others were tightly surrounded by soldiers, standing on the distant ship waiting for news.

The Blue Devil is the best water-based demon among the Seven Demon Clans, because part of their source is the Xiang Worm.

However, the temperature of the sea water is not something they can resist, and soon, the frozen corpse of the blue devil surfaced, but this kind of synthetic demonic beast has no concept of life and death in their hearts, and their only thought is to serve the empire.

A moment later, an Imperial soldier counted the corpses of the Blue Devils that had surfaced and came over to make a report.

This time, the empire sent a total of fifty-seven blue devils into the water, and there are fifty-four corpses of blue devils found so far, that is, there are still three blue devils whose lives and deaths are unknown.

The queen's face was gloomy as water, and the invincible Imperial Expeditionary Force was to be blocked by a legendary magical beast like this, and the damage to morale would be great. But she doesn't have any good solutions to the current situation. The queen made a decision in her heart, and finally decided to let the fleet go at full speed and take advantage of it.

That's when it happened. The soldiers who counted the corpses of the blue devils on the shore suddenly heard a burst of exclamation.

"Another ......"

Everyone hurriedly looked intently, but they saw this floating blue devil with a miserable wound on his throat.

This discovery also shocked everyone. Candle dragons obviously don't know how to use weapons. This blue devil must have encountered something underwater......

Could it be that the prince guessed...... The destroyer of the Silang Empire?

The Queen's eyebrows furrowed together. Looking back at the ministers behind him, he said, "Who is willing to find out the reason?" ”

The cohesion of the monarchs and ministers of the empire is beyond the imagination of people in other countries. Although he knew that this mission was nine deaths or even ten deaths, those imperial officials immediately knelt down to petition, and even Guo Yunshen, who had always been flattering, was full of loyalty at this time.

Eventually, the queen appointed a redguard commander called Fight for Defeat, and ordered him to lead a hundred elite redguards. Go underwater and find out.

These people knew that they had gone into the water this time, but they were afraid that they would not return, but they did not complain at all, and one by one they raised their heads and drank the soju given by the queen, shouted slogans with enthusiasm, and jumped straight into the sea.

In fact, the hardiness of human beings is even inferior to those blue devils, very fast. The bodies of frozen soldiers surfaced, with tears in their eyes. Watch as a loyal soldier of the Empire was frozen into an ice sculpture by the sea, and then fished ashore and spread out on the glacier.

"Pass on my decree that all the bodies of the soldiers who died this time should be brought back. Send it to the Supreme Cemetery of the Empire and enjoy the worship of all people forever! ”

When everyone heard this rare honor, their faces were full of admiration, wishing that they were also one of these countless corpses, and they could make their family relatives get supreme glory.

on this. Meng Nan could only shake his head and sigh, this set of aggression education of the imperial people is very similar to a country on the earth......

At this moment, a violent white light suddenly rose into the sky, and the bright light of the moment made everyone's eyes lose sight immediately, and immediately, the figure flickered, and the soldiers spontaneously ran towards the queen and blocked her in front of her.

There was a violent shaking from the sea, and the ship in which the queen was belonging, some distance from there, was still shaken up and down by the raging waves, and the soldiers, who were a little closer, slipped under their feet, and were shaken into the sea by the violent tremors.

"It's the candle dragon, the candle dragon is powerful again......"

In the panic shouting, the soldiers in front ran desperately backwards, and the soldiers on the boat immediately drove the boat and dodged backwards to avoid the edge.

"How do I get through here? How long does it take to make a detour? The queen asked, frowning.

"If you detour, you will deviate from the route planned by He Yu, and we can't determine the specific time." The geography officer's face showed a little shame.

"Could it be that we came with all the strength of the whole country, but we were blocked by a candle dragon and could not move forward?" The queen looked at all the soldiers coldly, and the disappointment on her face was undisguised.

At this time, suddenly a red-clothed guard ran in to report: "Report, the captain of the battle is back!" ”

"Oh? Let him in! The queen's face was a little pale, this captain of the battle was the leader who took a hundred red-clothed guards to the sea to investigate the truth, everyone thought that he had died in the sea, but they didn't expect him to come back alive.

The captain of the battle was led into the cabin. His eyes, which had been turned into eternal blindness because they were too close to the candle dragon, knelt down in front of the queen, and first sincerely repented of his failure to complete the task. The queen immediately comforted him.

Then, he talked about his underwater experience.

After losing to the water, the biting cold immediately made his body almost completely freeze, but fortunately, his two personal soldiers, one left and one right, snuggled him tightly, and the three of them gritted their teeth and dived down.

"Snake!" A personal soldier named Gong Shu next to him suddenly pointed ahead and screamed.

Looking over intently, he saw that several arm-thick snake-shaped black shadows were swimming zigzagically in front of him, and they were winding towards his people.

Zheng Cheng immediately swung his steel knife and slashed towards the black shadow closest to him.

The serpentine black shadow was extremely flexible, and he slashed it with a knife, but he kept slashing, but instead he was flicked by the serpentine black shadow, and his steel knife was bounced away.

With the battle for this knife, the bottom of the sea suddenly shone brightly, the brightest of which was the same as two basin-sized lamps, the light it emitted was simply indescribable, under this light, the pro-soldier called Gong Shu, the bones and blood on his body were clearly visible, and even his five organs were visible.

At the same time, a thunderous roar sounded around the three of them. A huge suction force came violently, and the two pro-soldiers disappeared immediately.

I couldn't see anything, but a terrible thought suddenly flashed in my heart.

That serpentine black shadow, could it be the tentacles of the candle dragon...... Those two lights...... Could it be its eyes?

The strength of the whole body, under the violent turbulence of the sea water and the biting cold, disappeared without a trace, the huge suction force involved him, so that he was powerless to struggle, just when he was in despair, he suddenly felt a loosening, an inexplicable force, carrying him all the way up, and finally reached the surface of the sea.

As soon as his nose touched the air, he immediately smelled a faint aroma, and he barely opened his hazy eyes, and could only see his side in a daze, with a hazy soft white light, and then he fainted, and when he woke up, he had been rescued by the soldiers.

After listening to the words, the others were still looking at each other, and Meng Nan was already excited, and the faint white light ...... Could it be...... The iron suit on the snowstorm?

"Who can share the worries of the Empire? Who can come up with a way to deal with the candle dragon? While the queen was still repeatedly questioning the officials, Meng Nan suddenly rushed out of the cabin without saying a word, and when he passed outside, he reached out and pulled out a steel knife from the waist of a soldier, and jumped into the water with a thud.

"Prince Billy!" When the queen saw Meng Nan like this, she thought that he was brave enough to enter the angry sea for herself, and the feelings that were barely suppressed spread wildly in her heart again......

"Your Excellency has set an example for you! What are you going to do? can be worthy of the glory of the empire......" Under the queen's impassioned voice, the soldiers jumped into the sea like dumplings, chasing Meng Nan's figure...... (To be continued......)
