9. Chapter 9
Lao Wang is very lonely, even though the five major families have already knelt in front of him, Lao Wang still feels very lonely
Yes, this loneliness, as if brought from the past life to this life, as if through hundreds of millions of years of time, makes those happy and unhappy stories continue to emerge in Lao Wang's heart
Is it worth living in this life? Lao Wang is not only asking himself this
It's worth it, at least a few hundred years ago, the twelve continents connected by stone bridges, whether it was the far far north, or the starlight plain that people would never forget, or even the bottom of the abyss in the southwest corner that was about to be forgotten, all bowed down to themselves, what hateful night beasts, what terrifying giants, they were all defeated by their own men, thinking of this, Lao Wang was about to rot to the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but smile a little distorted
It's not worth it, the Silver Moon Knights actually betrayed themselves, not to mention, the leader of this Knights, Will, used to be his right-hand man, and what is even more hateful is that he actually took away his original wife, Irwen, you must know that brothers and wives can't be bullied! But the most hateful thing is that this disgusting guy actually fled to Norton Heights opposite the big harbor of Fira, and damaged the stone bridge in an unknown way, and the wolf's ambition of beastly behavior made the old king vomit blood angrily~, so Lao Wang's eyes fell into a gray state again, and his arm was holding on
What's even less worth it is that his granddaughter is desperate to marry Chuck Chuck, the barbarian chief of the Far North, regardless of the oath that has already been made with the leader of the Golden Sands Capital, Yanke. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This made the royal city panicked, and could only marry Mi'er of the Julius family to the past, and soon came from the capital of Jinsha to one of Mi'er's arms, and since then, the three places of the bottom of the abyss and the door of sleeplessness have been lost again~
Lao Wang couldn't help but ask himself, how many of the remaining eight continents still want to support their own troops? Not to mention the big port of Fira, which has always been like a prostitute, the people there have long been blocked with yellow gold coins and their chests and buttocks, and they have no idea that they should still have the word loyalty in their heads
So the only thing that Lao Wang can feel relieved about is Gordon Town, the place he went to on his last expedition, at least there, with the night beasts in his hands, and the women of Gordon Town to reach a happy thing, so that Lao Wang temporarily forgot what loneliness is
But what Lao Wang has always been unwilling to admit in his heart is the direction of the princess's escape this time, and it just happened to be in Gordon Town, so Lao Wang couldn't help but sigh, could it be that even his last trace of good memories would perish with this body that was about to fall apart?
......
However, Lao Wang's sigh saved the kneeling crowd, and the guy who took the lead finally raised his head and found an opportunity to speak
"My king!", the speaker was gorgeously dressed, and the black shirt sewn with sea spider silk was inlaid with four extremely rare beads, but the color of this bead happened to be red, green, blue and black on weekdays, and today it was replaced with four red beads, not at all for sycophancy, but to save life. Not to mention that this man's leather boots were unfashionable boots, and a look at the material knew that it came from the Far North, the Ice Valley Python, and the gold ring in his hand was more dazzling than any gold in the royal city. So from everything this guy is wearing, Lao Wang already knows what he wants to say, but Lao Wang has long lost interest in this kind of strategy, and what he is thinking about is other things that are more important and more suitable for his own needs, so he didn't put the latter words in his ears at all~
Judging from the current situation, if we don't strengthen the connection with the Valley of the Giants, and restore the diplomacy of the Far North, the capital of Jinsha, although the few territories controlled by our family are still calm, but the prophesied moment has come, and it is always good for us to make some preparations~, please think twice!"
After speaking, this guy looked at Lao Wang with expectant eyes, waiting for Lao Wang's reply
In the royal city, only the patriarch of the Cohen family, known as the miser, dared to use his personal relationship with the old king for many years to open this terrifying silence in times of danger
However, everyone looked at Lao Wang's half-asleep state, and they all began to mutter, can this Lao Wang still have a little heroic spirit back then? After being terminally ill, he collapsed, it is better to let Wang Cheng be divided by the five wealthy families~
It wasn't until the representative of the Marcus family, a rookie who has risen in recent years, Marcus Norman, accidentally coughed twice that he pulled Lao Wang back from the edge of self-enclosed consciousness
....
Lao Wang spoke
"Three things, do it for me, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless", under the throne, there was a dumbness
"First of all, choose one of the princesses with better adaptability, even if it is twenty years, no, even if it is ten years, I want it, this matter, leave it to Julius, remember to do it tonight!Otherwise, you will wait for the black sun to come~"
Before he could say half of his words, Lao Wang's tooth fell out again, and it fell in front of everyone with a ding dong, but Lao Wang didn't care about such a at all, anyway, he would be reborn soon, and he was not afraid of how much pain it would be now
After finishing speaking, only the voice of yin and yang was heard from the gray robe covered with a cloak and replied, "The minister obeys the order!" Everyone looked at this disgusting colleague with disgust in their hearts, since the area of this guy's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, the core members of the Julius family have never shown their faces in front of the world, and even, for several generations, even Lao Wang doesn't know who it is and what he looks like, but this rule was set by Lao Wang himself, so even Lao Wang is helpless~
Lao Wang paused and continued to talk about the second thing
"Cohen Manny, since you want to recruit foreign aid and make friends with those who defected to fend off the current anomaly, I have nothing to blame. But you have to remember that there are some things that you should not do, such as the inspection team sent out to arrest the princess this time, if you replace that boy Byron in your house with another trustworthy heavy horseman, maybe the fourth flame has not been ignited by now, and the princess will have already come back obediently and be captured. So, since you've already stumbled on this matter, don't suffer again in the next operation, go to the port of Fira, go now, I want that kid's body, dead or alive, and, that princess called Olivia, just deal with it by the way, anyway, she's useless, I can't wait for her to come back, if you still have problems, this year's Fire Festival, I'll be the first to let you be a candle~!"
Lao Wang finished saying it for such a long time with great difficulty, and another tooth in his mouth fell out~, fortunately, he should still be able to use that word a few times, and Lao Wang couldn't help but comfort himself~
And Cohen Manny, who was sitting down, in order to cater to the incomparable power of the old king, habitually trembled twice, and began to cry and complain, "The minister knows the guilt, the minister knows the guilt~"
"You must know that Byron's kid doesn't know the height of the sky, and he personally changed the list of inspectors, so he is also an old friend of Princess Olivia, and he must want to personally capture the princess and dedicate it to my king, so that he can earn a place in the family and in the royal city, but I didn't expect a good thing to be self-defeating, this kid must have some unpredictable problem before he missed, my king, if this kid can come back alive, we must serve the family law, and then ask the old king to personally supervise the battle, but this kid can't be cheap~"
You must know that the kid in Cohen Manny's mouth is his own nephew, but in the face of such big rights and wrongs, Coen Manny will always run away faster than anyone else
But Lao Wang was obviously tired of this flirtatious response, and directly pulled out his teeth and threw them at Cohen Manny, who completely ignored the disgusting bloody saliva on the teeth, and served the gift of our king with a straight face, and screamed in pain shamelessly~
Everyone knows that the operation of the royal city can be stable for a period of time without an army, so the royal city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But if there is no money, everyone will rebel, hey, this materialistic era ~~~ is not the innocence of the year~
So before the farce was over, Lao Wang said the last sentence
"Lucas, Lauster, and Marcus, the people of your three families have all moved for me, so many years of peace, I must have given birth to a lot of new recruits, don't fucking hide them for me, all of them will be sent to the Starlight Plains for training and standby, those who violate the order will be killed! Before I came in person, the unified command of the army was the Raust family, and this year's Fire Festival, I want to let that group of betrayers raised by bitches know what is called Wang Fury!"
With that, the crowd fell silent again
Lao Wang's courage has not diminished back then, at least, from Lao Wang's spirit~, everyone's hearts once again appeared in the blood flowing, slaughtering the city and destroying the ground, I really don't know this continent, but to what extent this old king has to be tossed to the end, the twelve connected continents, five have been broken, and the remaining seven are also each with their own ghosts, but Lao Wang's move, enough to make the rebellious families, have to put away their fox tails, for the time being, listen to the order first~
But only Lauster Fein knows what Lao Wang is thinking in his heart~
Since one flame has been taken away, it may be time to snatch back another flame~
Otherwise, there will be no need for the existence of this thousand-year-old royal city, and the people and things around it will undergo earth-shaking changes~
......
......
......
......
......
The little scout's fiery red hair fluttered in the sunset, and she had already escaped from the sudden darkness without caring about everything, and the sun in the sky seemed to be covered by the thick fog of the canvas, and before she stepped into the town of Gordon, fear had already come~
.....
.....
The blood-soaked [puppet soldiers] gradually grew larger in the eyes of everyone's astonishment, and even the exploiting black-robed Lord Darth saw this kind of magic for the first time, and he was full of praise for it
"Hey I say, Master Byron, it's better to see than to hear!Now we can finally go to Gordon Town to find out, and see where that fat man Cord and my two red-robed apprentices have gone~", Darth said with a hint of fear. Because before arriving at the raised stone bridge, everyone had already seen the rising smoke, and something must have happened~, and when everyone came to the end of the stone bridge, the heavy rider Kod disappeared~, and the red robes left behind by the two also disappeared, judging by the footprints, they must have entered the town of Gordon, and now they don't know whether they are dead or alive, and the only thing that can calm everyone's fear and anxiety is that the smell of blood in this town has come out of nothing compared to before, and it seems that there is more than luck
However, the king's order was in his body, and returning to the royal city like this was simply going back to death, so everyone stubbornly implemented the plan they had drawn up before, and first used puppet soldiers to break this disgusting barrier
.....
"Pounds, pounds, bangs, pounds....."
The puppet soldiers tirelessly smashed up with the heavy hammers in their hands, and the boulders and fences in front of them turned into fragments little by little in the terrifying sounds
The corpses all over the ground, the poor mixed-race child, became an innocent sacrifice in this way, and Byron, who has always been cold-blooded, couldn't stand it, and hurriedly ordered the red robes around him to throw these little guys off the stone bridge, so that he couldn't see them out of sight and not be upset~
But the black-robed Das is getting more and more excited, with this invincible puppet soldier, it is simply the rhythm of the soldiers to block the water and cover the earth, with the spells of himself and his colleagues, as well as the support of the little scout, presumably the forbidden thing that was sealed will definitely fall into his own hands to play with it, and then find a chance to deal with the little scout around him, and continue to conduct his own research after returning to the royal city, this day can be calculated well~
Time passed minute by minute, and soon, the high barrier was smashed out of a slope that people could climb, with excitement and excitement, fear and anxiety, everyone adjusted their fighting posture and slowly climbed to the top of this slope~, but everyone didn't know that the danger was actually firmly attached to them~
.....
The night seemed to fall on the top of Gordon Town in an instant, causing everyone to suddenly lose their perception of the world without warning, and there was still a glimmer of light on the stone bridge not far behind them
The puppet soldier was under the control of the little scout, and he was the first to explore the way and walk in the front, but apparently it was owned, and the little scout Byron did not have enough control experience, and soon, the puppet soldier ran to a dark place that no one could see, and began to fight with the unknown guys in a dingdong dong~
Everyone was in a panic, without the heavy knight Kord, and he couldn't control this fool-like puppet soldier, the lineup of little scouts and mages should be wiped out by nature. As a result, everyone's voices even stopped calling for Heavy Rider Kord, and the little scout bore the brunt of the battle order, "Run!!"
But it's easy to get in, but it's not so easy to escape. Before everyone could see what was in front of them, a red robe was pierced through the heart by a sharp claw in the dark, and the remaining three people crashed into the body of the half-spider brother, Sko Adobi, who was weaving a web of horror, so thick that it was impossible to move.
Before the other red-robed man could chant the incantation of the flames, he was gagged by the net spewed out by Adobie, and the soles of the feet of the black-robed Das were also entangled, but Lord Das also had a little combat experience, and suddenly took off his boots and touched the danger of being trapped, but the good times did not last long, and this sticky spider silk made the barefoot Das-sama also eat a~
However, the luck of the little scout is a little better, taking advantage of the gap between the half-spider man and the two mages, with the body of the red robe, he stepped on and jumped, and fled to a position closer to the stone bridge, where there seems to be no more spider silk trouble, just between the lightning and flint, the moment when the little scout was still hesitating whether to fight, a sharp claw from the back of the body made the little scout completely give up the idea of rescuing Dath and the red robe, and directly rolled sideways to a farther place to avoid the deadly poisonous claw, and then drew his sword and entered the battle posture, his heart calmed down, and when he was waiting for the attack, he retreated to the stone bridge little by little
Poison Claw obviously didn't expect that he used all his strength to attack, or in a state of stealth, he was dodged by this little human guy, you know, as long as it is a normal human, it can't dodge the sudden sneak attack of the Shadow Gecko, after all, in the night, it is extremely difficult for the human eye to find himself with stealth ability
"Master, indeed a master, no matter whether the shit is good enough to stir up shit or not!", Poison Kill couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart, as the elite of the Shadow Gecko tribe, it was the first time to encounter such a headache enemy, and he was able to dodge his two attacks, the first time, the little human in front of him seemed to use some special method, and the claws that should have been swung towards him fell alive on the irrelevant red robe next to him, and the second time, he escaped like eyes on the back of his ass
"Do you want to try again? This guy is about to flee to an area with light~, then I'm out of luck!", the arrogance in the heart of poisoning rose again, no matter how good the luck is, it can't last forever, so let me destroy you hateful guy~
But before he could do it, a blow to break through the air had already followed, obviously his hiding place and the protection of the darkness, this kid should be invisible
But the facts do not allow for the argument of poisoning, and his proud tail was directly cut off in half, when did the little scout come out of the sword? When did it move to his side, and poisoned this assassin, who was known as the fastest assassin in the Night Beast Squad, he was completely distracted
"It's still important to save your life, anyway, the tail can grow back when it's gone", the poison fled in the direction of the half-spider man Adobi, who was giving the final blow to the black-robed Das, obviously, the half-spider man had already sensed the magic ability contained in the physical strength of this black robe, and decided not to just tear it up and eat it casually, but to suck it slowly ~, so as to absorb some of the essence of this miserable black robe to the greatest extent~
But the little scout didn't save him like the last sentence that broke out of Darth's mouth
Instead, he fled as fast as he could, to the place where there was still sunlight on the stone bridge, and to the carriage that was already in a mess
The black-robed Das is already desperate, it is complete despair, there are more and more spider silk on his body, and he has completely blocked his vision, and the legendary poisonous needle breath pierced from the top of his head without any suspense, and the painful Das is about to lose his mind, but this is only the beginning, the decay and liquefaction inside the body, with the influx of venom, there will be several days, during this time, the black-robed Das will not be able to survive, he can't die, until he is sucked into human skin and jerky, every inch of pain in the body will not hesitate to enter his nerves
In the laboratory under the royal city, the black-robed Das is very familiar with all this, in order to inherit the ability of the half-spider man, he did not send some people to the disgusting prison to send some people of all ages to the Fire Festival, this time~~~, but it is really his turn....
Thinking of this, Das used his last strength and stabbed the dagger he was still holding in his hand into his lower abdomen~
"Anyway, I can't live to be eaten by this disgusting guy!"
.....
But the red robe around him was not so lucky, in order to make up for the loss in the battle, the poison had begun to be eaten alive, and the sound of wailing had been transmitted from Gordon Town to the stone bridge~~
The little scout rode like mad and galloped wildly in search of the direction where the light was still there, with only one thought in his mind
"Olivia, I didn't expect I to go back......"
.....
.....
.....
.....
.....
The ship lost two in the wind and waves, and after spending the night, I didn't expect to be knocked over by the god-killing giant whale, and there were very few people who could be saved~
It's been three days, but I didn't expect that even under the leadership of Vic, there would still be so much chaos, Lance had a headache, although there was still food, and although there was a lot more fresh water due to the attrition, the people's hearts were already panicking
Leaving the first stone bridge pier that can be seen until now, it has been almost two days, on the endless sea, nothing can be seen, except for the seagulls flying in the sky, and the occasional group of giant whales, although the giant whales will not hunt humans, but these guys are simply more unscrupulous than the carriage of the Wangcheng Inspectorate on the stone bridge, and they can swim wherever they want, and everyone has to adjust the course, but recently it is the day when the giant whales mate, and it is even the whole sea area that is restless, even Captain Vic is angry and scolds his mother, but the fact is that everyone is lost
The sun overhead could no longer show the course for the experienced crew, and the only way was to tie up the brave men in the water with long cables and place them in a single boat to follow the current, trying to expand their field of view and range in exchange for a little possible direction
However, at the end of the day, one of the five small boats released came back, and the other boats and people were completely unknown
Lance and the others were already sitting on pins and needles, as the leader of this defection, Lance, when everyone was still looking forward to a better life and a new world, poured cold water on everyone with harsh facts, the complaints of the women, the sorrows of the farmers, the fears of the fishermen, and the provocations of even the little hooligans in Vic's row, all made Lance at a loss
Only the princess did the manual work as if nothing happened, making a pirate-like blindfold for Lance's blind eye, which calmed Lance's depressed mood a little
"What to do?", Lance asked himself
"There will always be a day when the food will run out, if you can't find the next bridge pier, everyone will die at sea!", no one else needs to tell Lance all this, just in the years when he was a bridge guard, Lance saw many emergency docking, relying on the bridge pier to spend the night on the merchant ships, how many man-made tragic situations~
"It's too late to go back now," said Vic, drinking from the sea, and in the past few days, Vic had become the fattest guy of all, and although the ships behind couldn't see the situation in front of them, most of them had guessed what Lance's ship was doing from the smelly fresh water
So the ships behind sent representatives and approached where Reims was
Farmer Bart took the brunt of the request and asked, "Lance, instead of floating around here and eating some sashimi, we might as well go back to Gordon Town and farm honestly, we don't want to drink bastard urine before we die!"
And Freya, who has sharp teeth and sharp mouths, did not show weakness, "The crotch of the old lady is all dry, and if you don't dock again, how do you let us do business?"
Lance obviously couldn't handle it, and the rhetoric he had used to revolt was useless now, and these guys wouldn't give up without any hope of appeasing them
Just as Lance was about to speak, the princess said coldly, "Without Vic, you would have died of thirst, and without Lance, maybe now you old women are in business, but for free." Not to mention that without the old mayor, we wouldn't be able to get out of Gordon Town, and we would already be dead. So, except to accept the arrangement of fate, there is no other way~"
Everyone was silent, and what the princess said was the truth, but because everyone did not choose to stay on the road of Gordon, they could only blame themselves, and repeatedly compare the faint possibility of another possibility from their hearts, how beautiful it might be
Suddenly, Moxie, who was about to follow the coaxing, slapped his head and roared, scaring everyone half to death
"Lance, Vic! We're saved!!We're saved!!"
Everyone was puzzled by this sudden sentence, and Moxie said excitedly, "Follow the whales, and we will survive this endless drift!"
Moxie's words made Vic think, although Vic had thought of this possibility of getting out of trouble a long time ago, but he was determined to find the next stone bridge, and he always felt that the risk was too great
After all, not everyone on this ship has the ability to fight, not to mention, this is at sea~, it is already a blessing of luck not to meet that group of guys, and now I have to look for them, it is simply rabbit meat sent to the wolf's mouth, and it is eaten clean~
"Moxie, calm down, this could kill us!", Vic replied calmly, everyone hadn't come to their senses yet, so without waiting for Moxie to continue speaking, Vic continued
"Originally, our route was to find the stone bridge leading from the royal city to the large port of Fira, and we can find the pier by following the stone bridge, and then rest from it for a while, and continue, this plan must be the safest, you must know that from the bridge pier that we set off from the town of Gordon more than half a day, the stone bridge from Fira, that is, a few days' journey."
"But as we all know, these damned whales have driven us to the northwest in a straight course, and from the map, the bridges are triangular scattering structures between the bridges, and the more we deviate from the center of the royal city, the wider the area covered, which also means that the longer we sail, maybe not in a few days. At this time, there is no other way but to try our luck, and of course, there is a possibility that Captain Moxie said, but it is too dangerous."
"I believe everyone knows that the whale's oil is the fuel that ignites the stone bridge lanterns, and the group of people who hunt the whales, looking at the whole world, there is only that group of guys who are not afraid of the sky and the earth, each of them is an executioner in the sea, put on land, and we are not their opponents. The people of the giant whale hunting team are the most rogue and shameless group of pirates in the entire port of Fira, although you have not dealt with them before, but I am a mongrel who escaped death from their hands, if you want to talk about brutality and killing, maybe there is no more unscrupulous guy on the whole continent than them, although, their main catharsis object is these big men in the sea~"
Long before Vic fled to Misty Harbor to survive, his old club was this damn hunting team, this group of people forced the hybrid descendants of the mermaid, and even the mermaid itself came to hunt before the wind, many companions died tragically in the sea, either eaten, or swam to the last moment, and were swallowed up by the deep blue ocean little by little, this group of goddamn guys~~?, Captain Vic fell into a sad situation and couldn't extricate himself
But Lance suddenly woke up from the silence and asked Captain Vic word by word~
"How big is a whaling ship?"
"....about ten small boats like ours are so big~"
"How many people are up there?"
"Thirty people are indispensable, plus the mermaid mongrels or mermaids who have been imprisoned, maybe forty people are not sure. Sailors account for more than half, plus some beasts who claim to be officials of the royal city as captains or large, and the most combative ones are these guys~"
"Is the Northwest Sea the most whale population during the season?"
"That's right, the sea temperature in this season, the golden sand capital in the south is too hot, and the east has a glacier melting in the far north slowly entering the sea, too turbulent, not to mention the north, the sea water is about to be frozen, only the west is the most suitable for giant whales to reproduce their cubs in terms of temperature and current speed~"
Speaking of this, Lance already had an idea, but Lance still had doubts in his heart, so he continued to ask
"In your experience, do hunting teams usually travel alone or in pairs?"
"Pair up when you set off and disperse when you hunt, it's an inevitable routine. The giant whale is too large, if the fleet is all gathered together, maybe it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out in the resistance of the giant whale, at least I can escape from the hunting team, that is, thanks to the blessing of this group of reckless beasts~"
"So, will the hunting boats rescue people who are shipwrecked at sea?" asked Lance curiously
"In my opinion, it is absolutely impossible, the more beautiful women here may be alive before returning to Hong Kong, and the others will die for themselves in the sea", said this, Bick frowned again, presumably this kind of thing, he has definitely encountered it
"...., what weapons do they have?", Lance suddenly felt that everyone was one step closer to death
"Harpoons, fishing nets, hunting fish crossbows, and of course, if you count the hull, we can use the keel of the boat to split our boat in two, so, don't think about it, Moxi's boy is completely unreliable, this is a dead end!", Vic was a little thirsty, and obediently drank the sea water handed by Parma
"Is there any way to attract these fellows from the distant sea?" asked Lance, reluctantly
"Nonsense, of course it's a group of whales, the whale group we have encountered in the past two days is not large enough, you must know that among so many whales, the only ones that can really be hunted are the newborn cubs, and the mother whales that have just given birth, male whales have been more energetic than anyone else recently, but don't mess with them~"
"So, as long as you follow the direction of the whale group, sooner or later you will meet this group of hateful guys, and then it will be our end~"
"Well, I think, maybe that's our only hope~, Captain Vic, turn around, and we'll walk along the whale's ass"
"Bart, Freya, old Lide, a few of you, go to the boat behind to spread the word separately, let the young men who can fight, all come over, I have something to say"
"Moxi!", Lance finally said, "whether you can survive in the future or not is up to you!"
