44. Reinforcements have finally arrived
At the same time that Rattle and Roman were slowly heading to Bay City, on a small island off the coast of Storm Bay, a tripartite meeting about the situation in the entire Bay City was also going on.
Sitting on the main seat, it was a kraken woman with six arms, her upper body looked quite similar to an elf woman, but if you look closely, it is a little weird, especially her hair, full of small snakes with grinning teeth, ordinary people are expected to faint directly when they see this scene, and her whole body is covered with quite beautiful silver scales, which even spread to her coiled snake tail, and there is a layer similar to frog webbing between her fingers, unlike the rumors, this female kraken is obviously wearing a strange texture of clothing, and judging from the expensive ornaments on her arms and forehead, this one's status in the Kraken clan is definitely not low.

And her turquoise eyes are quite beautiful, even a little too beautiful, and with that beautiful face, people can't help but look at her face, but the last fool who did so has turned into a stone statue and stands at the entrance to this small island, as an eternal warning to outsiders.
What's more, the two male krakens who are more than two meters tall when they "stand" up, wearing heavy steel armor that is obviously enchanted, and their sturdy hands hold a pure gold trident as thick as the thighs of ordinary people, standing by the side of this petite female kraken all the time, which is why although the three parties to this meeting said that they would not give an inch, and even scolded each other at the negotiation table, the female kraken can still control the situation The biggest reliance.
It was the two Siren Overseers whose strength definitely surpassed that of the Sword Bearer (the sixth rank of the warrior class, second only to the Juggernaut), and coupled with the terrifying properties bestowed on them by the surrounding sea, they were confident enough to even have a hard-to-head battle with a true Juggernaut on the battlefield of the sea.
To the left of the large Coral Stone Table sat a new envoy from the Council of Doom, a grumpy orc windtalker (the shaman's fifth order) and his retinue, and his predecessor, the Darkwalker who had hooked up with the leader of the Stalker branch of Bay City when he first arrived, had lost all contact with the Council of Doom one night two days earlier, and the shaman, who had been the deputy envoy, had to take on this heavy responsibility。
Sitting opposite the orc shaman was a well-dressed human gentleman, with a pair of delicate monocles, a slightly gray hair combed meticulously, and with his black dress, it looked like this gentleman did not look like he had come to negotiate at all, but rather like a participant in a dinner party, and in the tense atmosphere, the gentleman took off his eyes, took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, and while wiping the lenses, he said absentmindedly,
"Again, the Contemptible and the City Council behind the Contemptible are not interested in any trade between the Kraken and the Council of Destruction, we can also let you place the location of the transaction in the Bay City, but there is only one thing, the Contemptible needs to reiterate again, no matter what you do, you must not disturb the normal order of the Bay City, this is the will of the great Lord Tedda, in the land of Bay City, the will of Lord Teda is the will of God!"
Seeing the expressions of approval of the orc shaman and the Siren lady, a trace of satisfaction flashed in the gentleman's extremely rare amber pupils, and he put on the monocle again, admiring the exotic cheeks of the Siren lady with interest, but he was not instantly petrified like the entourage before him, but if we look closely, we can see that the fingertips of the gentleman's palm hanging by his side are being quickly wrapped by a layer of stone, but when it spreads to the palm, the gentleman will always gently move his fingers to completely crush the stone, and the whole process repeats, which shows that it is not the Kraken lady's mercy, but the strength of this seemingly weak gentleman has actually reached the point where he can exempt the Kraken lady, which is equivalent to the "Medusa gaze" of the petrified magic of the six rings.
"Have you seen enough? Mr. Speaker Nard!"
This will be the Siren Lady finally spoke, her voice is not as clear as ordinary human women, and she does not want the delicate of elf women, but a different kind of hoarseness, like the voice of those mature noblewomen, and at the moment when she spoke, the eyes of the orc shaman on the other side of the lower strength flashed a trace of fascination and sinking, but the next moment, the beast bone totem that the orc shaman had been holding in his hand flashed a yellow light, and the orc shaman who was about to fall into the natural charm of the Siren lady woke up, and now he turned his face away, and he no longer dared to look directly at the lady's cheek like that gentleman。
"Of course not!"
The gentleman smiled and shook his head, "A contemptible person will never get tired of having such a beautiful face as Miss Asasina for the rest of his life!"
However, the gentleman's hanging hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he could see that he could also feel how powerful the mana contained in Miss Siren's petite body, to put it mildly, if the rumored moody young lady went crazy and wanted to leave him and the orc shaman here, it is estimated that she would be able to do it easily without the Siren Overseer behind her, after all, she was the first person under the legend of the Siren clan, and she and her sister were not good characters。
"Let's get down to business, I'm a little tired!"
Seeing the vigilance in the depths of Nold's eyes, Essasna lost some interest in laughing, and she lazily wrapped her snake's tail with a large jewel collar around her seat, and she propped her chin with one hand, and knocked on the table in boredom.
"Okay, I'll talk about it first. ”
When the orc shaman heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his face slightly, and it seemed that he was talking to Asasina, but in fact, his eyes had been on the distant sky, and the kraken lady didn't care, as the youngest daughter of the previous kraken queen, the darling of the sea with the blood of the noble remnants flowing in her body, the natural high-level "Medusa gaze" is indeed a very convenient talent, but its disadvantage is that it is like now, since she was a child, she has long been used to the way of speaking in front of other people's side faces.
In the eyes of their sisters, it was not disrespect, but a fear, a fear of true power!
"Several of the elders of our Destruction Council have already conveyed new instructions to me yesterday, they are very satisfied with the sincerity of Her Highness the Kraken Queen, and the chiefs have also agreed to hand over a quarter of the plains near the frozen North Sea to the Krakens after the end of the Great War in the Dragon Plain, but there is an additional condition, Chief Rontan and Grand Elder Saruman hope that the powerful Kraken Kingdom can help intercept the warships of the Human Empire from entering the northern battlefield in the upcoming battle between our orcs and humans! In exchange, the Great Elder will also give all the fiefdom he deserves to the future Kraken Empire!"
Faced with the orc shaman's proposal, Aisasina's delicate little face frowned, she wagged her tail, and after a few minutes, made a decision,
"This is likely to cause the relationship between humans and Krakens to deteriorate further, so I need to ask my sister, can you wait?"
"Of course there is no problem, I will continue to stay in Bay City until the war starts, and I will also wait for the arrival of the Siren Queen's messenger at any time!"
"Good!"
Asasina smiled and clapped her hands, "You have a much better attitude than the stupid thief before, you have to beg for help, I am very satisfied! I believe my sister will be very satisfied." ”
In the face of this "compliment", the orc shaman smiled bitterly and lowered his head and stopped talking.
On the other side, after waiting for the orc shaman to finish speaking, Gentleman Nard's mouth also spoke, "I came to the meeting this time, mainly at the behest of Your Excellency TEDA, Your Excellency is very dissatisfied with the behavior of a Kraken clan rushing into Bay City a few days ago to loot and kill people at will, but since Bay City has maintained a friendly relationship with the Kraken for decades, Your Excellency TEDA does not want a similar incident to happen next time!"
"I have also heard about this matter, and the specific situation is no longer verified, but I also ask Mr. Nold to bring a heartfelt apology to His Excellency Teda on behalf of me and my sister, the patriarch of the Darkscale Tribe is a very qualified warrior, but not a wise ruler, he is easily deceived by the enemy's schemes, so my sister has cut off his position as leader, and the habitat of the Darkscale Tribe has been zoned into the deep sea, and it has been decided that there will be no Kraken tribe in the area of a hundred nautical miles around Bay City. ”
Esasina chuckled and spoke of his own remedy, and it was evident that this apparently a big step back made Gentleman Nolde very happy, which was almost beyond what he had imagined, so he stood up, clapped his hands, and the waiter behind him immediately brought a tray with a bottle of 1057 Mooncrown wine that was too valuable to describe in words, and three wine glasses,
"Very good, Your Excellency TEDA will definitely be satisfied with the sincerity given by Her Excellency the Siren Queen, come, let's raise a glass for the eternal friendship of the three parties!"
Gentleman Nelder raised his glass first, then the smiling Asasina and the unknown orc shaman, each holding a glass of wine, raised each other's slightly, and drank the mellow wine in the cup, and then said some useless nonsense, and then the guests and hosts left the island happily, leaving only the host of the kraken Asasina and the two Siren Overseers behind her remained in place, and one of the Siren Overseers watched a little anxiously as the Nold gentleman's ship went farther and farther, and looked at Sasasina who was still sitting in her chair for half a minute, and then couldn't help asking,
"What should Her Highness the Queen do?"
"What to do!"
The delicate Essasina, who had just become frosty and imposing, turned around and glared at the Siren Overseer who had disturbed her thoughts, who hurriedly bent down to apologize, everyone knew that the Storm Lady in front of her looked childish, but in fact she was a truly moody devil-like figure, and to be honest, if it hadn't taken into account the tasks that Her Royal Highness had ordered before leaving, this Overseer would not have come out in front of Elsasina.
"My sister is always too obsessed with establishing the Kraken Kingdom, she takes revenge for her mother as her lifelong pursuit, for which she can even sacrifice everything, and the previous private alliance with the Destruction Council has already annoyed many remnants of the ancestors who live in seclusion around the world, if an unknown dragonborn provokes the old monster that has been hiding in Bay City for a thousand or hundreds of years, maybe the Kraken tribe that has just recovered now will lose the protection of those old-timers because of her relationship, and nothing else, Sanir, you say that even if we really get our own land on the northern coast by then, established the country of the Kraken, but in the face of the orcs who are the dominant family in the Dragon Plain, can they hold on to it by relying only on the Kraken clan?"
"We can retreat to the sea, the sea is our real home turf!"
Another Kraken Overseer couldn't help but interject, and then said smugly, "If you want me to see, we Kraken don't need the land on the continent at all, we only need to control the entire coast of the Northern Frontier, even if those filthy orcs take the entire Northern Frontier into their pockets? ”
"Sanip, you are indeed smarter than your brother!"
Essasina's comment made the other Siren Overseer who had just finished speaking even more proud, and he even bumped his dejected brother with his shoulder and gave him a smug look, but the Archduke of the Storm could never guess what was in her mind, she looked at Sanip's triumphant appearance and continued,
"But you two ask yourselves, do we Krakens really need a piece of land to build a great Siren Nation, as Sanip said, the sea is the best territory for us, but we still need to occupy a large area of land in a corner of the Dragon Plains, not for us, but for our remnant brothers scattered around the world. ”
Speaking of this, Essasina looked longingly at the hazy sky with thunder and lightning in the distance,
"In my opinion, the so-called Kraken Country or something, are not worth mentioning the pursuit, only the identity of the orthodox remnants is our most important symbol, the glory of the Second Age has passed, but the remnants it leaves behind are still beyond the imagination of ordinary people, think about it, if this adventure can really succeed, just rely on the power of our Kraken can seek a piece of land that can be inherited as a hundred-year, or even a thousand-year-old country for those who are still alive in the memory of the Second Age, and at that time, the Kraken clan with the support of all the remnants of the power will establish a super empire that has never appeared since the beginning of the Third Age, we will join forces with the orcs to divide the order of the entire northern frontier, and when the time comes, it will be easy to achieve the revenge of the mother and the forerunners!"
The sea breeze whipped on Asasina's cheeks, and she seemed to agree with her, but the Sannip brothers behind her didn't dare to answer again, and the political disagreement between the Archduchess of the Storm and the Siren Queen was almost an open taboo in the Kraken clan, and it was no longer a high-level game that a warrior like them could participate in.
"Forget it, it's useless to talk to you about this! I'll talk to you on my sister's side, Saniel, you go to the Darkscale Tribe now, and let them retreat a hundred nautical miles from the deep sea, Sanip, you go and contact all the tribes in Storm Bay near Bay City, so that they are ready to go ashore and fight at any time, I will go to the Hate Realm to find out the opinion of that grandfather Mobeys, as long as I have his support and help, it will be a no-brainer to get rid of that old monster of Teda and its disgusting offspring! ”
A lonely smile appeared on her cold face as Asasina watched as the two Siren Overseers, who were originally only responsible for guarding her, jumped into the sea to carry out her orders.
"Sister, sister, what can you do even if you occupy the throne when you were born a few minutes earlier than me? Grandpa Marfas has taught us since we were children that not everything can be solved with fists, but unfortunately, even now, you still don't understand this truth, without their support, we are nothing, and this long battle between the two of us since birth, the final victor can only be me, and it must be me!"
With that, she let out a long sigh, leaned down, scooped up a handful of blue waves from the rippling water, and gently threw them towards the sky, and the moment the little drops of water landed, Esasina's petite body had disappeared in place, leaving only a beautiful rainbow, symbolizing the traces of the terrible Storm Grand Duchess.
And just ten minutes before the Archduke of the Storm tore through the space and tried to teleport to the top of the tower of the Hate Domain, a tattered galleon of the Galen type docked at the "Golden Ship" dock in Bay City, unlike other medium-sized sea vessels, this ship was destroyed in a sudden tsunami ten days later, the dock staff had never seen anyone walk off the ship, and even after a while, there was a legend about the "ghost ship that summoned the storm".
However, in the mana fluctuations of spatial teleportation that the dock staff were not aware of, Rattle had already teleported with Roman through a one-person tall demon portal straight from the cabin to the small alley in the dock area of Bay City, in fact, both theoretically and practically, the warlock's exclusive teleportation skill - the demon portal is not as good as the mage's teleportation in terms of teleportation distance and spell casting conditions, but its only advantage is that it does not limit the number of teleporters, theoretically speaking, only you have enough soul stones to charge the round green portal standing on the ground, even if it is a whole army, you can teleport anywhere within a maximum of 1000 yards through this thing, but of course it will take a long time.
In fact, this is not the first time that Rattle has come to Bay City, when he was serving in the Nine Towers Council, he had come here with a team to capture a low-level mage who had defected, and that time the operation did not go well, after they encountered many obstructions from the Mage Guild and the City Council, they could only be sent out by one of the demon archers in the team, and after killing the mongrel who was hiding in the opposite side of their hotel in a position of 300 yards, the group escaped from the Storm Bay area in a hurry with the help of the receiving combat team。
I have to say that it was definitely not a good memory, and even Rattle himself did not have much affection for the city.
"See that hotel? It's the big blue-roofed house, brother, I was standing in this position, looking at my subordinates, piu killed a mongrel on the third floor by the street, hehe, the moment the mongrel's brain exploded, it was my best impression of the city. ”
The bald-headed barbarian mage stood at the mouth of the alley with a magic staff, and his saliva splashed to tell the helpless Roman how brave he was back then, and how wise he was, in short, the cowhide kept blowing, and the barbarian was at least one-third taller than ordinary people, and when he saw the two of them wearing black robes, there was an ominous aura all over his body, so no one dared to come over and accuse these two of blocking the alley in a big way, and they didn't look like good guys at a glance.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that a small businessman pushing two buckets of fruit walked slowly past the two who were still arguing, as if slipping, and inadvertently bumped into Roman's body, and at the moment when Roman turned his head and glared, a slight word came into his ears,
"You're Rattle and Roman from the old K-group, right?
After finishing speaking, he quickly picked up the fruits scattered on the ground, and happily greeted the acquaintances next to him, pushing the small wooden cart, and turning into another small alley not far away while shouting.
Roman and Rattle glanced at each other, the barbarian mage strode towards the little merchant, and Roman also walked slowly in that direction after Rattle left for about three minutes, not afraid that there were some traps waiting for the two of them, but they did lose contact with Elivan and now they had no contact with Elevan, and the sound transmission stone that repeatedly urged the kinetic energy to connect with Andre had no effect, and at the same time, before leaving, the soul link blessed by Andre on the two of them was also like a fictitious one, and they were desperate in every way, so they could only follow this guy who suddenly appeared and brought news of Elivan。
The path led by the small merchant was crooked at all, but Roman still followed smoothly with the help of the Eye of Kilrog, who specialized in reconnaissance and was very small, but after seeing Rattle under the guidance of the small businessman, he stepped on a teleportation array hidden on the edge of the square in the upper city of Bay City, the vision shared by Roman and Kilrog was cut off, and he could only follow the route in his memory, and also came to the teleportation array, looked left and right, and took out two huge soul stones from the ring and clasped them in his hand, and then gritted his teeth and stepped on the teleportation array。
Roman's eyes darkened, and when his gaze regained again, he found himself in a hall with strange decorations, and Rattle, who was one step ahead of him, sat peacefully on a chair on the side, and André, who shrouded himself in plate armor, Wendy, who yawned from time to time, and the silent Dax sisters, drinking tea, and looking at Elivan, who was sitting on a stone throne and talking to a bewitching female kraken, who seemed to be in good spirits, not at all like he was under house arrest, but his unshaven beard and tired eyes indicated that this guy may not have been doing well recently。
"What's going on?"
Roman walked up to the crowd, sat down on the chair that had been set aside for him, and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know! I saw these guys sitting here in a daze, oh yes, that Kraken was just teleported through the space, and when she appeared, Elevenn also appeared on that throne at about the same time, you know what?"
Rattle swallowed the melon seeds and turned his head to look at Andrei, who shook his head and replied angrily,
"No, we know no more than you, in fact, we have just been released from the spell of time imprisonment by the master of this tower. ”
Hearing this, Roman suddenly gasped, and then sat there in silence, without any more sound. (To be continued.) )
