Chapter 41: The Undercurrent Alliance
Everywhere above the sea, there are mages of the Tower of China doing the same thing as Crete.
The conversation between Glade and Crete is just an unknown episode in the post-war process.
On the deck of the Houyi, Xiao Chen was facing Trina, who had been sealed with a forbidden demon. Now Xiao Chen knows that after the mermaid clan loses its magic power, they can use their tails to stand on the ground, but they are a little inconvenient, unlike the Naga clan, they can swim on the ground with a snake-like tail, although the fishtail can stand, but it can only move forward with one jump and one jump, which looks a little funny.
The other hostages had been locked up in the cabin below by Xiao Chen, only Trina stood on the deck, watching with Xiao Chen as the mages of the China Regiment flew in the sky to rescue the wounded of the Sea Clan, Trina's eyes kept wandering back and forth between the mages of the China Tower and the wounded of the Sea Clan, her teeth biting her lip, not knowing what she was thinking.
She saw Crete use his magic to save many people, and she saw Glade fly down next to the shark warrior and use a spell to revive the dying warrior.
"Why? Why did you save these people when we attacked you first? Don't you think they'll be your enemies and threats again when they heal?" asked Trina.
"If you were the winner, what would you do?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Me?" Trina hesitated, "if I accept your surrender, I will not kill any more captives, but will keep you for ransom or exchange my own captives." But...... I'm not going to help the enemy's wounded, I don't know what's the point? Not only will I not do that, but I'm afraid the other countries on the continent will do the same, right?"
"Our Tower of China handles things differently from many countries on the mainland, and of course it is different from your Sea Clan. Xiao Chen leaned on the guardrail on the side of the ship, looked at the scene outside and said, "Maybe we respect the value of life itself more than you." ”
"Of course we respect life, and every sea life is a gift from the sea, but we will not do the same as you. ”
"That's because civilization is not the same as civilization, and the more advanced the civilization, the more it respects the value of human beings, not only our own people, but also our enemies. Because, in the final analysis, the nature of intelligent life is no different.
The place where we came from is much more developed and civilized than yours, and naturally has different moral standards. ”
Xiao Chen paused: "What's more, I don't want to have a deep hatred with the Sea Clan, I hope that these acts of releasing goodwill now are the beginning of a good conversation that we can have in the future." After all, you didn't give me this chance in the beginning. ”
Trina said, "I'...... I don't know how things will turn out like this. ”
"Lord Xiao Chen, I think you are too merciful to the Sea Clan, savage and murderous fellows, they are not worthy of your treatment of them like this. Jerez said, standing aside.
"Just like this woman said. They have no mercy for us humans, I have two old friends who have been on the sea all their lives, but until they were about to go ashore, they met the pirates of the Sea Clan, except for a wrecked ship, they left nothing, and the whole two boatloads of people were killed by these cruel guys!" Jerez let out a sneer, "What will not kill the captives, my friends have not much force on the ship at all, they must have surrendered, but in the end they were thrown into the sea by those sea tribes to feed the fish!"
"If a person chooses to surrender, he is surrendering his fate to the other side. From the moment you are ready to surrender, you should have the consciousness to be at the disposal of the other side. Trina said.
Jerez said angrily: "Bastard, do you have the consciousness to be killed by me now?"
Trina glanced at Xiao Chen and said, "I have, can you do it?"
"Hmph!" Jerez was just venting, he knew very well that it was Xiao Chen who was in charge here.
"I said I wouldn't treat a captive like this!" Trina said with a little pride, raising her head, "Killing captives is the work of small tribes, and my clan will never do such an honorless thing!"
Xiao Chen said: "This is exactly what I want to know, which clan are you from? Today there are more than thirty mermaid mages in your team, a considerable number of shark warriors and Naga warriors, and the quality of the battleships is also very good, such a team is not something that any tribe can come up with."
What's even more interesting is that you'll sneak all this far to spy on our shipyards and care about the new warships built by humans, which is not at all like most of the Sea Tribes would do, and they are all focused on running a small piece of their territory. ”
"I ...... I shouldn't have said that. Trina said.
Xiao Chen was keenly aware of her hesitation, it was not a direct refusal, but something to worry about.
He said: "It's useless for you to hide it now, there are so many wounded soldiers of the Sea Clan who have been treated by us, do you think this secret can still be kept?"
What's more, if you are a hostage, someone will naturally come to ransom you, unless he wants to give up a great mage and a few high-level mages, which is unlikely, right? Then he will always have a chance to contact us. I think it wouldn't hurt to get to know your situation beforehand in order to avoid a misunderstanding like this between you and me again. ”
Trina glanced at the wounded at sea and knew that Xiao Chen was telling the truth, and she knew very well that it was too difficult to keep a secret in front of a great magician who was good at spiritual magic. She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Have you heard of the Undercurrent Alliance?"
Xiao Chen glanced at Jerez, who shook his head, "I've been dealing with the Sea Clan for decades, and I've never heard of any undercurrent alliances. ”
"The name of the Undercurrent Alliance is not only unknown to you humans, but also to many sea tribes. The undercurrent, the undercurrent, speaks for itself, it is a tribal confederation hidden beneath many tribes. Several large families with a long history in the middle of the Pearl Islands are inextricably linked to this alliance. Or rather, this alliance itself is a cooperative organization formed by the most powerful families of the Sea Clan. As far as I know, this organization has been around for almost a thousand years. ”
"Are you also a member of this organization? Judging by your strength, you are a very important member of it, right?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes, the family I was born into was originally a very powerful mermaid family. And I myself am a great magician, so naturally my status in the alliance is not low. ”
"Then what is the purpose of this alliance?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Embrace the king. ”
