59. TEDA's Compromise (I)
In the middle of the ocean, hundreds of nautical miles from Bay City, a featureless island stands in the middle of the ocean, and the island, which usually no one pays attention to at all, is now covered with rows of Siren Overseers and royal guards armed to the teeth, who are guarding their queen, while the true owner of the Stormy Sea stretches out his bewitching snake tail, sits on top of the head of a deep-sea whale shark with a streamlined body and sharp teeth like a knife, and seems to have eyes closed for eternity, and with the long black hair that moves slightly in the sea breeze, it is really a beautiful view。 Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Buzz, buzz!"
There was a faint humming sound from the teleportation array in the center of the island, and bursts of light blue and earthy yellow light gradually lingered above the teleportation array, and a few seconds later, three figures appeared on the teleportation array.
The leader is a man with a mustache, gray hair and a pair of shining eyes, looking mature and steady, this middle-aged man is none other than the king of warlocks, Trath Lyman, and one of the strongest dragonborns in the legend, he is wearing a gorgeous robe, holding a complex and delicate rune staff in his hand, the most amazing thing is that a dragon that has shrunk countless times is lying on his shoulder, looking curiously at everything around him, this little green guy screamed when he saw the kraken queen sitting on the whale shark, and rushed to the middle-aged man's hair, firmly protecting himself。
Behind him was a woman who seemed to be shrouded in a distorted black fog at all times, judging from her size, she should still be human, but she couldn't see the hideous war bow on her body that she couldn't see clearly dressed and countened, and the two twisted short swords on her waist, and the coercion that stinged the eyes of everyone who tried to observe her all the time, all showed that this woman was not easy to mess with.
The one who walked at the end was the most recognizable, it was an old orc with white hair and beard, but it was not the same as the other two people's actions to hide their coercion, this old orc had no intention of hiding himself at all the moment he walked out of the teleportation array, and a violent and bloodthirsty meaning surrounded him like an aura, and it could be seen from the fireblade battle banner and straight-edged long knife he was carrying behind his back, as well as the string of ornaments made of beast bones hanging around his neck, this was the old patriarch of the fireblade clan, the strongest sword saint of the orcs, Rogman。
"Hail to you, mistress of the great sea of storms!"
Trisleman and Lilith respectfully saluted Faraki, who had their eyes closed, and the queen also bowed slightly, signaling that she knew, and then her beautiful face turned to the Fireblade Sword Saint Rogman, who was standing straight to the side, and "looked" for a few seconds, and then said with interest,
"The game of the old sword master is really interesting, is this a test of me, who is also a martial artist?"
Farage's voice was hoarse and seductive, but her lack of words made both Trisleyman and Lilith a little confused, could it be because Rogman's arrogant attitude displeased Farazi?
Of course not, just a few seconds after Faraki said this, the irascible Fireblade Blade Juggernaut who was originally standing next to Trisley Layman and Lilith turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared in place, and then when the Kraken Overseer closest to Faraki leaned over with the slogan "Protect Her Highness the Queen", the real Rogman appeared less than two meters away from Faraki, on top of the head of the same deep-sea whale shark.
And the old swordmaster's hideous face covered with scars was full of appreciation at this time, he stretched out his right fist and patted it on his chest, and said loudly,
"Originally, I thought that the strength of your little girl doll was blown out, but I didn't expect that you have really reached the point where you can see through my swift steps, you are good!
"Where, where! It's worse than the prestige you had when you crisscrossed the northern frontier. ”
Farage chuckled and waved his hand, motioning for the Siren Overseers to retreat, and then said to the old swordmaster, "I have prepared a feast for you at the Sleep of Volshath, please come with me! And you, Lord Rogman, don't worry about the friendship between the two races, all previous misunderstandings have been dissipated the moment you appear here in person!"
"Don't worry! ”
Rogman smiled and took out a seal made of animal skins from the storage pocket hanging from his waist, and then tilted his head towards Trisleiman and Lilith behind him, and the two legends also handed over the seal representing their identity to the maid beside Faragei, and when Farage saw this scene, a smile also appeared on her pretty little face, she casually took off a sapphire pendant representing her identity from her long black hair, and also put it in the maid's hand, and then commanded in a low voice,
"Narsa, you take a team of royal guards and hand over these four things to the principal of Bay City. ”
"Then Great Highness, do I need to tell them something?"
The six-armed kraken maid who stood in front of Faraki asked humbly, Faraki thought for a moment and said, "No! Teda is not really stupid, it will understand what I mean, of course, if those filthy dragonborns ask, tell them that the moment the sun rises tomorrow is the deadline!"
-----------------------------------------------
On the afternoon of the day when Elivan entered the Elven Vanguard alone, a major event happened in Bay City, because the impact of the super tsunami that occurred in the Sea of Storms had not yet passed, and the entire city was blocked by the Krakens in the past two days, so there were many idlers in the city who had nothing to do, and they spread this matter throughout Bay City in less than an hour, and even Elivan, who occasionally went out to buy a little fruit, heard it more than three times from the fruit sellers.
It is said that the Krakens sent a messenger, or the nobles in the Kraken Kingdom, in short, the nobles who were guarded by a dozen giant Krakens that were twice as large as the average Kraken brought the ultimatum of the Queen of the Storm Sea to the City Council, it stands to reason that this should be a confidential matter, but I don't know how to spread it, the Krakens said that if the City Council does not open the city gate in the early hours of tomorrow morning and let them enter the city to search for the missing royal family, Bay City will face the catastrophe from the sea.
This exciting news naturally attracted everyone's attention and dissatisfaction, and even the elite warriors of the Elven Vanguard began to panic because of this news, after all, they could probably guess that it should be the battle of the archmage on their side on the sea that caused the storm, so the so-called "missing" Needless to say, the Archduke of the Storm Lady is where she is, but the archmage who returned before has been hiding in the stronghold to recuperate from her injuries and has not responded positively to this matter, especially after temporarily serving as the head of the stronghold, after teleporting little Spencon back to the World Island, everyone generally believes that this is a sign that it is time to fight to the death.
In addition, because the elves' demand for fruits is too great, so on the other side of the entire alley, there are several fruit sellers squatting from morning to night almost every day, saying that there is no one from the city council here, Eleven absolutely does not believe it, that is to say, the city council has already shown its attitude in this coming storm, they choose neutrality, and also remind the elves of their attitude through this peaceful coexistence, well, but maybe when one side can't stand it, for example, after the elves are found and disabled by the kraken, they will also jump out and fall into the well。
However, judging from the information collected by Elivan, this time Bay City's attitude is unusually tough, and it is said that Asasina is "missing" In the afternoon of the same day, Walshath's Sleep sent 20,000 Kraken warriors to firmly seal off the entire storm bay, Queen Faraki asked the city council to open the city gates, she wanted to personally lead people into the city to find her sister's traces, but the city council refused, just when everyone thought that the war was coming, the krakens suddenly withdrew the almost overwhelming sea waves, but did not let go of the blockade, and their attitude is naturally self-evident.
Both sides are gritting their teeth now, from Eleven's point of view, the city council is completely trying to preserve their last dignity, of course, this has a lot to do with how much they don't want to offend the elves, but in the face of the fierce encirclement of the krakens, it is difficult to say how long this neutral attitude can be maintained, after all, the so-called bay city is just a cover for the black dragon Taida to cover up its existence, once Taida feels that it is not cost-effective to face the kraken, this cunning black dragon naturally knows what to do.
"Good day, Captain Jeans!"
Carrying a basket of mouth-watering purple berries, Elivan met the squad commander with two soldiers out for a routine inspection, and greeted him in a friendly manner.
"Good day, Mr. Lens, oh, this berry is really good, it reminds me of those wild fruits in the forest of my hometown, just as sweet and delicious!"
Jennes nodded at Eleven, stretched out his hand and took the three fruits handed over by the other party, and after distributing them to the team members, he picked up the cleaned berries with some water droplets and put them in his hand, took a bite gently, and suddenly let out a pleasant sigh, the elves are like this, they can live without meat or alcohol for the rest of their lives, but if there is no fruit and clear spring water for a day, they will feel uncomfortable to die or live, Elevenn privately thinks that this should be another reason why the elves are trapped on the World Island, and the rest of the mainland can't provide these." Vegan "enough fruit."
"Speaking of which, Captain Jennes, did you hear that rumor?"
Elivan himself picked up a fruit and ate the juice and splashed it, and the captain was immediately attracted by the somewhat rude human words, and he asked curiously,
"What rumors? I wasn't on duty yesterday, so I rested in the cabin for the day. ”
"Oh, well, it's nothing, it's just that this afternoon, the Krakens sent a messenger, supposedly bringing the request of the King of the Sirens, it is said that before the first rays of sunlight shine into Bay City tomorrow morning, if the City Council can't open the gates to let the Kraken enter the city, they will set off a storm and completely flood the entire Storm Bay!"
"What!"
After Jennes heard the news, he subconsciously let out an exclamation, and even the core of the berry he was playing with in his hand was crushed by him, and the corners of Elivan's eyes jumped straight when he saw this scene, this kind of subtle and terrifying power control, although it is not clear about the combat power classification of the elven warriors, but from the perspective of human beings alone, the captain's Excellency must have reached the rank of a sword bearer, and the dexterous movements and complete inheritance of the elves make their lethality in actual combat much greater than that of human warriors, so if it really fights, Elevenn himself will definitely have to spend a lot of effort to subdue this Captain Jeannes, and maybe he may be injured。
"No, I'll need to report this to Mr. Will and Master Herman right away, and we'll need to get out of here at once! ”
Janes stood up and was about to rush into the stronghold, but was stopped by Elivan, the elven captain looked at the human boy in front of him suspiciously, while Eliven looked left and right, then glanced at Jennes, and then glanced in the direction of the two elven warriors who also stood up.
"Willy, Andal, you two go on patrol first! I'll be here soon!"
Jennes wasn't stupid, he immediately understood what Elivan meant, so he quickly separated the two warriors, and after Willy and Andal left, the elven captain looked at Elivan with his slightly girly long green eyebrows, and the latter said in a low voice,
"I can understand your feelings, Mr. Jennes, but I think the Krakens are coming into town as an opportunity for us!"
"Huh?"
The elven captain looked at Elivan with some doubts, he wanted to refute this strange point of view, but he thought that this kid in front of him could bring the seriously injured Mr. Will back here under the siege and interception of the Kraken, so he decided to listen to this guy's opinion, so he coughed quietly,
"Ahem, tell me what you think. ”
"That's right!"
Eliven smiled and pointed in the direction of the City Council, "Although they seem to be standing with us and helping us hide our whereabouts now, you and I both know it, and Master Herman and Mr. Will also know that this is just a means for them to sell at a price, if they really trust us, then there is no need to send so many spies pretending to be fruit sellers to spy on us, you must know that yesterday and today, I spent two gold coins to buy more than 100 gold coins worth of fruit, they are too badly disguised." ”
"Indeed, I can see through the weapons they have hidden almost at a glance, hmph, playing this trick in front of the elves. ”
Captain Jennes also glanced at the alleyway in agreement, but immediately realized that the conversation between the two was a little too easy, so he asked again,
"But what does this have to do with the Krakens?"
"On the surface, it doesn't seem to be, but in fact it has a lot to do with it!"
Elivan pursed his lips, "What do you think are the chances of the City Council going to war with the Sirens who now have an absolute advantage over us?" I dare to assert that the gates of Bay City will be opened to the Krakens without waiting for the early hours of tomorrow morning, and now it is estimated that the entire Storm Bay area is occupied by the Kraken's army, so how many people will we have to lose to escape from this place that has been surrounded by groups?" Although we have the invincible Mr. Herman, but there are also characters like Queen Faraki and the Black Dragon, and when the time comes, it will be a small matter if we die in battle, and if Herman or Mr. Will misses and is captured, then the problem will be serious. ”
As he spoke, he stopped, glanced at Jennes, and saw the look of thought in the latter's eyes, and suddenly added to the fire, "And I have another worry, you said that if the City Council and the Kraken have been acting since the beginning..."
"You mean... The city council helped us hide our whereabouts just to paralyze our movements, and at this moment, the two sides are combined, and under the joint strangulation, we don't even have a chance to fight!"
I have to say that Jennes is definitely a flexible guy, Elevenn just proposed a possibility, he immediately made up all the processes of the matter, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility must exist, and the probability was not small, after all, smart people are like this, they only believe in their own judgment, even if this judgment is formed under the wrong inducement, this point will be ignored by them.
"Ah, the more I think about it, the more scared I become!"
Jennes sighed with emotion, "When the order was sent from the royal court, I felt that this operation was absolutely unreliable, and with a small detachment of more than 20 people to carry out the beheading plan against the head of the clan, the staff officers of the royal court must have gone crazy!"
"So we need to save ourselves now!
Two clouds of light called trickery appeared in Eleven's eyes, and he lowered his voice again, "Anyway, sooner or later, the City Council will hand over our whereabouts, so I think we should just do nothing, abandon the stronghold, and sneak into the City Council's heavily guarded headquarters, and then the Krakens come in and pounce, naturally they will suspect the City Council's intentions, after all, there can only be one voice in this storm sea, to say that the Bay City Council does not have this idea, I don't believe it!"
"No, no!"
Jennes's face also showed the cunning of an old hunter, he stroked his fist, took two steps left and right, and then clapped his hands and said another plan,
"We do have to infiltrate ourselves into the City Council headquarters, but we can't let the Krakens pounce on the air, otherwise it will be easy for someone with a heart to see the clues, so we have to deliberately leave some "clues" here, and then the Krakens will follow these tracks, and when they enter the City Council headquarters, we will impersonate those filthy dragonborns to give them a "warm welcome" If I could, I would even like to involve the old black dragon, and then when the two sides want to sit down and talk, then ask Herman or Lord Will to take action and stir up all this, and then..."
"Hehe, when the two sides fight a real fire, we will have real hope of escaping! Or simply be obscene, find a place to recuperate in the base camp of the city council, and wait until the archmage recovers his health, we will leave, it's just a portal matter"
Elivan complemented Jennes's plan in a strange voice, the two of them looked at each other, and then nodded to each other, Jennes even walked back and forth with some excitement, "If you mess up the situation like this, maybe you can use the power of the black dragon to severely damage the Siren Queen, if Herman and Mr. Will can seize the opportunity, maybe... Maybe a thousand years of hatred can really end on this day! Hey, damn the royal court staff, and those inexplicable mage thugs, if General Fudar is here, then the success rate of this plan is bound to be high to a height that people can't give up!"
"Mr. Captain, the most important thing now is to save ourselves first!"
Elevenn shook his head, poured cold water on the passionate Jennes, and said, "I think we should tell the two adults about this plan, at least let them decide on the specific steps of action, our time... Not much more!"
Speaking of this, Elivan glanced up at the direction of the city gate, and Jennes naturally understood what he meant, so he nodded and pointed with one hand, "Then I'll report to Master Herman, and Mr. Will will hand it over to you!"
"No problem, I'll do my best to get Master Will to agree with me!"
"Well, I have to say, Lance, a guy like you will have a great time on the World Island! Believe me, the royal court needs a talented young man like you!"
When Jennes was about to leave, he patted Eleven's shoulder and praised him twice, and then turned around and disappeared in place, and after confirming that he was leaving, Elevenn pouted, put his hands behind his back, and walked into Will's room with a little song behind his back, almost without a quarter of an hour, he picked up the sound transmission stone in his arms and said a word,
"Elsasina, don't leave the Tower of the Hateful lately, and inform your sister that Moonblade is here, and the target is her and you, so that she must pay attention to her own safety! Also, Essasina, don't be bad, Moonblade is not someone like me who would sit down with you and have a good conversation, otherwise you will definitely regret it. ”
A few minutes later, the sound stone buzzed, Elevenn connected the rune, and Asasina's hoarse voice rang out in the room,
"I received the news, I have forwarded it to Falaqi, it turns out that I am such a woman in your eyes, ah, I really misjudged you, little Elivan!"
"It's not what kind of person you are in my eyes, but in fact you are that kind of person, Isasina, the extent of your jealousy and dissatisfaction with your sister, I know very well, a woman's heart, no one can guess, but this time is different, I'll be honest, now Farage has a golden thigh thicker than Rodnar, so if you do something wrong, hehe, the consequences are something you would never imagine! )
