Twenty days had passed since that naval battle, Xiao Chen had finally waited for the ship he was waiting for.

Trina's father, Mencius, a high-ranking mage of the merfolk clan and the head of the Golden Pearl family to which Trina belongs, was notified of the remnants of the naval battle that day, and immediately began to collect information and ransom, and then set out for the island of Himeno on a warship.

The mermaids are all natural water mages, but Mencius is not as talented as his daughter Trina, so the realm is not as high as Trina. So even though he is the head of the family, he is still not as important to the entire family as Trina, so he wants to redeem his daughter at all costs.

As the ship sailed to land, Mencius floated in the bow of the ship, looking out over the island from afar. But the sight surprised him, and he wondered if he was in the wrong place. In the early years, Mencius had visited the island, and there was nothing left of the island except for the dilapidated houses of the small local tribes. But now, he found that there were more docks for a dozen boats, and a cluster of human and sea tribe-style wooden houses built along the hillside.

Mencius was skeptical, but the Naga guards who led the way were sure that the two metal giants parked on the dock were the human ships that had crushed their entire fleet unscathed.

Mencius then saw a group of Shark and Armor warriors running out of the newly built houses along the newly paved gravel path.

These sea tribes are led by a few humans, and are clearly under the command of those humans. They ran all the way to the edge of the dock, on both sides of the pallets, lined up straight lines. Mencius had never seen such a Sea Clan warrior, in his impression, the Shark Clan warriors were always violent and unruly, and the A Clan warriors were also procrastinating, but these people in front of him were like human soldiers who paid attention to formations, and they looked like they were all at a glance. It made him feel like these were all humans in the skin of the Sea Clan.

Two humans dressed in strange blue floral clothes stood in the middle of the dock with their hands behind their backs, staring at him from afar.

Mencius suddenly felt a palpitation, he realized that it was the coercion of spiritual power, the two humans in front of him turned out to be more powerful mages than him, and even stronger than the feeling her daughter gave him.

Mencius didn't dare to slack off, he didn't want the two great magicians to wait for a long time, so he flew down from the bow of the ship without waiting for the ship to land.

"I am the head of the Golden Pearl family, Trina's father, Mencius, who has come to visit His Excellency Xiao Chen, the chairman of the Tower of China. Mencius said, meeting the two humans.

The human mage standing on the left said, "I'm Huang Zheng, the commander of the Marine Corps of the Tower of China, and this is Lin Lichuan, the communications officer of the Houyi. Chairman Xiao Chen has been waiting for you for a long time. Welcome to the island of departure. ”

"Departure Island?"

"This is the new name of the island, which we bought from the local tribe and now belongs to the Tower of China. ”

Mencius thought to himself, it was unheard of for these continental humans to come and buy the islands of the Sea Clan, because no one had ever done such a thing. Even if a human occupies an island for a short period of time, it will be driven out or even wiped out by the nearby Sea Tribes.

The Pearl Islands are the territory of the entire Sea Tribe, and no human intervention is allowed, which is the consensus of all the Sea Tribes. But judging by the piers and houses seen earlier, these people should be serious. No one is going to build on such a stretch of construction on an island that they are staying on for a while. However, these things are not a problem for him, and he is still concerned about the condition of his daughter Trina.

"May I ask how my daughter Trina is?" Mencius asked.

"Don't worry, our Tower of China will not treat captives badly. After all, we still have to trade with you, don't we?" Huang Zheng said with a smile, "Besides, unlike the southern city-states, we have no prejudices against the Sea Clan. You can take a look at the Sea Clans around us, who have joined us and become warriors of the Tower of China. ”

"What?," Mencius looked up and looked up at a shark warrior in front of him, a shark guard he knew, a shark guard often hired by one of Trina's cousins.

"Davik, is this true? You have joined the army of the Tower of China?"

The Shark Warrior lowered his head, looked at Mencius condescendingly, and said in a sullen voice, "Lord Mencius, we are now employed by the adults of the Tower of China. Now the best warriors of several of our tribes are mercenaries of the Chinese. ”

"Hiring? Are you willing to fight for humans? Aren't people from small tribes generally accepting human hires and dealing with them?" Mencius asked.

"My lord, we are willing to fight with the strong, the Tower of China is different from other humans, they are strong and benevolent, they can easily defeat us when fighting, but after the battle, they have saved many seriously injured sea tribes, including me. A great magician saved me personally, so we are willing to be hired by them to fight. You know that this is not a violation of the agreement between us and you. The Shark Warrior spoke in a very structured manner, "Besides, they have some amazing training methods, and after we have been trained for more than ten days, we can defeat twice as many of our kind. ”

"Is that so?" Mencius realized that the Chinese let him meet Davico and others here, just to make him recognize the situation. Not only did the Chinese defeat the Hai Tribe, but it seemed that Trina's subordinates had been easily divided and disintegrated by the Chinese, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of worry in his heart, because he couldn't understand what the Chinese were going to do.

"Come with me. Huang Zheng said, "I'll take you to see Chairman Xiao Chen and your daughter." ”

"Please lead the way. Mencius, follow Huang Zheng forward, while the mercenaries of the Sea Clan left the dock in a neat line under Lin Lichuan's orders.

Mencius walked uphill, and along the way, he saw many elite-looking Sea Clan warriors training under the command of humans, and they lined up in several rows in the clearing, turning their bodies to the slogans, or marching forward. In addition to this, there are many other sea tribes that roam the island freely.

If they didn't know that they had fought with the Chinese before, some people might think that humans and sea tribes have always lived in harmony on this island.

Mencius couldn't help but ask, "Why are you doing this?"

"What, why?" asked Huang Zheng.

"Suddenly came to live on such an island, and lived with the sea tribe. Although humans have cooperated with the Sea Clan in the past, no one will choose to do this with the Sea Clan...... It blends together like this. We're different, aren't we?"
