"Hmm......"

With its blue skies, the smell of the ocean, and the cries of its creatures, it's a beautiful place, free of pollution and war.

If you don't count the green figures that sway in front of it, it's wonderful.

"How many crystals do you think this thing is worth?" "About 250 white crystals, right?" "Gah! It can't be like that, right? "How much more do you want, I don't know if this monster has a dragon that will buy it!" "Nope! Didn't that last time catch a monster that looks like it? That's 250 red crystals! "Red Crystal? Are you dreaming? "It also brought a bunch of weird stuff, those that don't know how much it could sell."

"......" in front of the scholars is a group of green creatures who are constantly discussing its value.

And itself, tied to the ship's mast, watched as the creatures in front of it argued.

"Here, it's really interesting...... the scholar's attention is not on these green creatures, but on the surroundings, the structure of the entire ship, and the sea outside, which fascinates it, and it inhales the sea breeze hard: "This smell...... Never smelled it. ”

"I really shouldn't be there all the time, I should have come out and wander around and get to know the qiē here...... But not as prisoners, I remember they were called ...... Emerald Dragon? ”

"What is this monster muttering there?" Hearing the scholar's words, several emerald dragons gathered.

"It might be trying to say something." An emerald dragon said.

"How could such a monster speak?" Another said, "Let's think about how to sell it, or get its bones or skins off." If you take it apart and sell it, it will sell more ......."

"You ......" the scholar suddenly spoke, in the language of the Emerald Dragon, "Can you let me go?" And also...... Give me back those things of mine. As he spoke, the scholar gestured to the pile of things that had been placed under the railing beside the boat.

There's its portable video installation. There's also a whole bunch of all sorts of stuff.

"Ahhhh The monster speaks! Several emerald dragons suddenly screamed, and took a few steps back in succession.

"Gah! Calm down! An emerald dragon said, "It is also tied with a 'blue section rope' made of the strongest seaweed, which is absolutely safe." ”

"Scared me!" Another jade dragon said: "So I remembered a creature I saw in that who's house last time, and it said that the creature had the intelligence of the cub Cheng dù, and it could 'learn the tongue', it might be the same kind as that creature!" ”

"What? How could this kind of monster have the intelligence of a cub Cheng dù! An emerald dragon said in surprise, "Ahhh ”

When the emerald dragons screamed, the scholar had already opened the ropes and stood up.

Because when they tie it. It didn't occur to them that they were tied to a creature that was smarter than their cubs, so the knots were tight, but they were easy to open......

"Grab it!" Then. The Emerald Dragons all picked up their crossbow arrows and aimed them at the Scholars.

"Don't be afraid." The scholar opened his hand, recalled some of the poses he had seen in the materials about the Emerald Dragon, and said, "I am ......"

"Quack!" Suddenly. An emerald dragon standing by the side of the ship let out a scream. Fell from above.

"Gah? What's wrong? The surrounding emerald dragons and scholars all looked in that direction in confusion, only to see a tentacle on the edge of the ship, and crawled up there......

Climbing up was a white creature that was only a third the size of the Emerald Dragon, but seemed to have the strength to pull them down.

"That's what I saw in the materials recently...... Is there a creature called an 'ancient squid'? "The scholar remembers that it had seen in the sources that the creature was a small creature, but something seemed to have happened lately, and they were growing in size at a rapid pace. It's a lot bigger than before.

It is said that it was because of the infection with the 'Mao Yu virus'.

And they're not just getting bigger. It seems to have become smarter than before,

"Gah! It's a sea monster! The emerald dragons screamed as they saw a large number of ancient squid crawl up from the side of the boat, some of which were riding on an arthropod creature more than two meters wide, which was a creature they had domesticated.

"No way, we've avoided their course of action!" "Don't be afraid! Fix them! ”

And just like that, the battle on the ocean began.

The Emerald Dragons rushed to the side of the ship and beat the ancient squid back into the sea, and the scholar took the opportunity to retrieve his most important video installation.

"It's good it wasn't broken."

When it got it back, it immediately opened the device and looked at it, and only then relieved itself when it was found that it was not damaged.

'Tick! Suddenly, a signal appeared on the video installation, and the scholar was shocked: "There is information...... What the? A full-scale invasion of black metal has begun? ”

"Ahh The scholar read the title, and the video device in its hand was swept away by a tentacle......

………

Indeed, in another world, the war is much more intense.

'Boom! ’

"Hurry up and retreat! Fall back! ”

In the video, the screams and explosions of the void people are constantly heard, and now the communication with the local area has been fully restored, but nothing good is in sight......

Countless armies, fleeing in the flickering light, seemed to be a step too late, although they received the order to retreat.

The cities surrounding the ruins of Galle were devastated, and the army there accompanied the attack...... Gone.

With each passing second, the black metal continued to expand, and its army seemed to have no end, constantly appearing above the ruins.

"General...... They've already started attacking the city with its inhabitants around! "In the command room of the capital, the virtual people are anxiously watching the information coming from all over the place, the black metal has begun to attack the cities where the inhabitants have not had time to retreat, and they have left no prisoners, they are all killed.

"I know ......," said the general, "continue to follow the order and bring all the troops together here in the capital." ”

"But General, without the help of the troops, it is impossible for those people to escape!"

"The order to retreat has been issued, and whether they can escape or not is their business." The general slammed the table and said, "We can't waste our troops on this kind of thing!" ”

"With the speed at which they attack, they could take over our kingdom in a matter of days and nights." The general looked at the image, and the large red that symbolized the enemy army was expanding little by little...... (To be continued......)
