Chapter 221: Polar Bear Man (3) (Ask for a Monthly Pass!Ask for a Recommendation!)
The riots, which had lasted for half a day, had subsided, and the dusk had receded, and the night had soaked the sky. Everyone in the bazaar stared at the swaying orange-yellow bonfire.
After the attack killed two Polar Bears, the attackers were "smashed" by the son of the enraged Great Chief with a warhammer – literally – and the difference in size and strength was the greatest they could achieve, regardless of the merits of their martial arts and equipment.
Except for the occasional sobbing sound from the floating rafters from the ring base, everyone present was silent. On the ground next to the campfire lay a row of corpses: two polar bears, half a dozen dromedary guards, and dozens of humans.
The first to break the heavy atmosphere was the captain of the guard of the dromedary, "He is the only son in the family, his son was born not long ago, he ......" Grad pointed to his men lying on the ground, counting them one by one, "You are not stepping on Houjian Island, how dare you commit murder against the soldiers of the Empire on this land......?"
As the questioning voice became louder, the knuckles of the axe in his hand grew more and more ironic. The dromedary guards around them were also silently surrounded with weapons, ready to obey the captain's orders.
Just as Grad was about to pull out his axe from the ground, a large old but powerful hand stopped him from doing so—Gersang came over and pressed his hand on the hand of the camel captain, "There has been enough killing today, there is no need for any more fighting. ”
Of course, the aged Bactrian Humpman didn't just stop his compatriots, in fact, his dark one-eyed eyes were always staring at the equally tense and ready Polar Bears.
"Lord Gersan," Voliber said as he stepped out of the crowd, keeping the young warrior behind him with a fierce gleam, "the Polar Bears have never been afraid of battle, but we are by no means murderous. ”
He looked back at Wolfgar, who was speechless, and the son of the Great Chief nodded at him, "I admit it...... It is indeed possible that the camel warriors who died were killed by our fellow tribesmen—" Volibel pointed to the collapse of the guard's corpse and continued, "But at that time, it was our mission that was attacked and killed for no reason, and the camel guards rushed over with weapons to stop our self-defense......"
"Self-defense?" This time it was an elderly human who spoke this time, because his son was killed, the grief-stricken Elder Treasurer of the Ring Base could no longer care about the fear of the powerful polar bear man, and he said in a whimpering voice: "It was another group of people who attacked you, but you attacked the innocent...... Twenty-three of us died, more than ten times the casualties of the Polar Bears!"
"How can you raft people talk here!"
Surprisingly, it was not the polar bears who spoke out, but the young camel aristocracy Twin Peaks. But he immediately shut his mouth again—even though he had passed the initiation ceremony, Gersan's cold gaze still made the apprentice instinctively awe-inspiring.
Volibell glanced at the Twin Peaks nobleman who "helped" him refute with some surprise, but immediately locked his gaze on the Treasurer Elder: "I'm sorry...... But though your grief does not seem to be a hypocrisy, it was you raftmen who attacked us at that time...... Even if it weren't for that tense situation, it would be difficult for us to tell the difference between your different 'tribes'. He paused, pondered for a moment before continuing to speak, "Besides, how do you prove that those people are not members of your 'clan'? One by one, carefully interrogated. ”
This was not actually a bully, but the real intention of this Xiong Zhen clan chief and diplomat.
Because of the presence of the son of the Great Chief Wolfgar in the Mission, it was necessary and obligatory for Walibel to find out who had instigated the assassination and why—he even suspected that what had happened today had something to do with the Walrus—after all, while on Houjian Island, Wolfgar had killed a Union Walrus chieftain.
"You're talking nonsense!" roared the grief-stricken Treasurer, pointing at Volibel, as he walked over to his old acquaintance, Geller, and pleaded to the camel captain, who was much taller than himself, "Captain Grad, tell those Polar Bears that they didn't come out of the same ring base as us. We are innocent implicated, old friends with whom we have known you for more than 20 years. ”
Grad's lips were dry, and he couldn't bear to look down at his "old friend", and he said helplessly: "I...... I'm sorry, but I can't prove it to you—in fact, none of the people in charge of the reception today have been able to stand up and testify for you—that they all died at the hands of those guys, and it's a shame and a dishonor. ”
"No, there is a way to prove that we are innocently implicated!" Hearing the words of the captain of the camel guard, the Floating Raft Treasurer Elder was suddenly struck by lightning. In the face of a crisis that could affect the entire ring base, he ignored the pain of losing his son and stated loudly: "I, not all of us...... Anyone who is willing to find out the truth can go to the beach together. If there are two ring bases there, it means that the attackers and we are not all the same!"
"Clever!" Quest couldn't help but secretly applaud the wit of the humans of this island world.
It's at high tide now, and it's hard to move the circular base by the sea once it breaks down. If there were two floating raft homes floating on the other side of the headland, it would naturally prove the treasurer's complaint.
And, even if the polar bears and camels get in the way, there will still be boats on the shore that they anchored before they came.
With the boating skills of people like the raft people, who have been begging for a living at sea all year round, as long as they untie the cable, they have a good chance of escaping back to the ring base without any problems.
When the time comes, neither the camel nor the polar bear will be able to catch up, and the people who go ashore to trade will be safe. Of course, the Treasurer still wants to prove his innocence, not to run away.
Because if they choose to escape, then all the materials obtained by the rafters this time will be wasted, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to trade along the coast of the empire in the future.
"I'd like to take a look with you," said Gersan, who stretched out his palm and pressed it on the shoulders of the treasurer, "Running away won't solve problems, and sometimes you have to learn to face them." ”
The elderly raft man suddenly became nervous, for fear that the other party would ask to keep the hostages.
However, it seemed that he was very confident in his own ability, and Gelsang only brought his own apprentices and a few camel guards, and after the assassination, Volibel and Wolfgar were not ready to let their people go separately, so the entire Polar Bear Mission followed.
After going through so many things, everyone is also tired. The group all got on the cart drawn by the split-hoofed oxen, and walked along the gallop road carved out of the desert, and walked mightily towards the shore.
"Captain," Koss snuck into the car where the young blue dragon was riding and whispered, "Elder Treasurer just played sign language, I'm afraid you won't understand...... Once you're at the beach, untie the cable of the Zhanyuan—"
"—If the situation changes, flee. Quest said playfully, but his tone did not change, but his eyes looked into the darkness on both sides of the convoy, "Do you remember what I said before?" Seeing that Kos scratched his head, Quest stopped playing and reminded bluntly: "When the situation changes, hide by my side." ”
"Weird again?"
The boy asked in surprise, almost screaming, but he covered his mouth with his hand in time......
When the cart pulled by the split-hoof ox had gone through two or three hourglasses, many people could smell the salty smell of the breeze blowing from the sea to the land. Captain Grad, who led the team at the front, jumped out of the ox cart and pulled away the deer firewood that separated the beach from the desert.
After a little more walking, the sound of the waves crashing against the shore came, and everyone got out of the ox cart and walked to the sea.
"Teacher, watch out for the bunkers here," Proud Twin Peaks walked ahead of Gelsang, testing the way forward for his teacher, "Oh my God, what is this?"
His toes stepped on a slippery layer of things, and by the light of the torch in his hand, the Twin Peaks nobleman lowered his head to pick it up and inspect it.
"Don't touch it if you don't want to be poisoned," the young blue dragon who walked past them glanced at it, recognized it as a poisonous jellyfish, and reminded him: "Of course, if you feel that your life is hard, please take care of yourself." ”
As soon as he said this, Proud Twin Peaks instinctively took two steps back, wanting to swing his weapon to slash the jellyfish. But Gelsang stopped him, and the old camel man brought up a handful of sand with his toes and buried it.
"To deal with danger, use the right means. ”
After saying this, Gersang gave Queth a deep look, and then he ignored the dazed apprentice and strode towards the sea.
Most of the small boats that the rafters took when they came were docked at the pier, and the few that were originally docked on the shore were anchored and pulled by the high tide and floated on the sea.
Some of the men were about to walk to the boat on the shore, but several polar bears were following them, and there was no time to untie the cables.
The treasurer walked over to Gelsang and Volibel, who had not yet known the identity of Wolfga, and pointed to two large black shadows floating in the distance, with a little light, and said, "The two ring bases are there, we are not all the way, we ......"
He narrowed his eyes before he could finish his words, although it was at high tide, but the two ring bases were too close to the shore.
"Is the anchor loose? or is it stranded?"
A bang came from behind everyone, interrupting the treasurer's thoughts. A firework suddenly burst into the air, bursting into the air and bursting into bright sparks on the curtain made of darkness.
"Be careful! There is an ambush!" Captain Grad of the camel man immediately reacted, beckoning his men to rush towards Gelsang, "Protect the Lord and go first, I'll break it off!"
When he had finished speaking, he swung the axe in his hand and fell on his head as the Raft Treasurer Elder who had brought them here.
