"Yes, understood...... Be...... I'm going to leave at once, Your Majesty! ”

It wasn't until the king's voice died down and the phone bug squinted and snored that the secretary of state on the other end of the phone relaxed his tense body slightly.

"Ryza! Lyza! The Minister of State shouted in a voice as penetrating as a whale's chirping: "Help me bring that jet-black gold-rimmed begonia dress to the living room." ”

No one responded, and the cry of a child could be faintly heard outside the study.

The Minister of State had no choice but to call out loudly to his daughter again.

"Lysa, do you hear that?"

"Father, wait a minute! I'll get it right away! The daughter outside the room shouted.

The Secretary of State could not wait, and as he unfastened his casual jacket and walked out at a hurry.

Hanging his coat on the hanger at the door, he opened the door, and saw his daughter's slender arms holding a small blue monster, a small fishman, walking towards the small room on the side.

"Put him down and take care of my business first!" The Secretary of State shouted, grimacing.

"Oh~oh~ Don't cry anymore...... Don't cry anymore...... Crying again, grandpa is angry. Miss Mermaid smiled and comforted her child, gently placing him on the old couch beside her, and turning to face her father. I've ironed that jet-black court robe and hung it in your bedroom closet. Miss Mermaid smiled and said, "When I go to get it, please ask my father to take care of your grandson." ”

"I just came back from grocery shopping, and he cried so much."

"Forget it!" The Secretary of State said angrily.

He glanced at a blue baby with a fresh, clear liquid hanging from his nostrils, and walked impatiently to his room.

"Jenna, where did she go?" The Minister of State asked the only servant in the family, the housekeeper and cook.

"Aunt Jenna went to Square 1 this morning to shop." Miss Mermaid said softly, "Father, you also know that such a terrible thing happened there!"

"Auntie was really frightened, when I saw her, her face was pale and she couldn't speak, so I had to grant her half a day off and let her rest."

Miss Mermaid's words were not answered, and the Secretary of State slammed the door to his room shut.

Lysa looked at the closed dark green door for a moment, then smiled again, comforting her still crying child and wiping away the snot from under his nose.

After a while, the door was reopened, and the Secretary of State had already gone out in his jet-black and gold-rimmed begonia dress.

"Am I wearing something wrong?" The Minister of State consulted his daughter.

"Are you going to a meeting?"

"Negotiate!"

"Then you'd better change out of the red bow tie and replace it with the blue one." Rysa gave her own advice.

"Well, blue is better." The Minister of State listened to his daughter's advice and went back to his room to change into a blue bow tie.

When he came out again, the irritating cries were gone, replaced by unpleasant laughter.

Before leaving the door, the Chancellor's tail paused.

"This child doesn't have to be sent to the orphanage in Fishman Street for the time being." With that, the Secretary of State left without looking back.

Rysa withdrew her gaze from the closed door and looked gently but firmly at the grinning little fish-man.

This is her child, even though its face is blue, the skin of its cheeks is perpetually secreted with mucus, and it has fangs...... But he was her child.

Neither his father nor her father could separate their mother and son.

Fish-Man Street, the shallow water where the fishmen and the kingdom army confronted each other, the Minister of State who arrived in a hurry looked at everything in front of him in horror.

The whole battlefield was chaotic, the shouts of the officers came and went, and the mermaid squads of the Kingdom Army constantly passed by them, gathered in a certain area and lined up in an array under the orders of the officers.

Of course, no fish-man soldiers were involved in this repression, and they were temporarily dismissed from their posts from the moment the king gave the order, and they were ordered to stay at the garrison.

At the front of the confrontation area, outside the steel walls, there were twenty-five crossbow beds with giant harpoons, and behind the crossbows, the mermaid soldiers of the Kingdom Army were smearing fish oil on the surface of the cannonballs.

In this way, the friction generated by the strong initial velocity will cause the shell to burn at the moment when the cannon is discharged, thereby increasing the destructive power and destroying the building and causing a fire.

Compared to the King's Army, which has the advantage of numbers, Fishman Street is not small in formation.

More than a dozen terrifying cannons were pushed onto the steel wall, and in the center of the wall, dense barrels grew, and they also added spikes to the upper side of the steel wall to prevent the Kingdom Army from charging.

"The people of Fishman Street waited, a year! Decade! One hundred years! ”

"We are waiting for the King's order to enter Fish-Man Street to maintain law and order and bring those evil pirates to justice. Waiting for the abundant sunshine on the upper reaches of Fish-Man Island to shine into our barren house!"

"But it was too long to wait, and it took us to finally wake up."

"None of this will happen, the future of Fishman Street is ultimately up to us to fight for ourselves!"

"So we're going to build our own team!"

"We want those pirates to never be able to buy anything from us with guns again!"

"We want our children, our sisters, and our wives to be able to set foot on any of our streets!"

"We're going to drive out those pirates who hurt us, and leave no one behind!"

The Minister of State heard every word Mo Burang, the wanted man on Fish-Man Island, resounded from within the steel walls that shook the water.

For a while, his always agile thinking froze, and the negotiation rhetoric deduced in his heart along the way had no effect.

Unconsciously, the Secretary of State took out his handkerchief and wiped his forehead, which was in a cold sweat from his hurry, and loosened his bow tie in order to make his voice louder.

He tried to take a step forward in order to get closer to the rebel in Fish-Man Street, but was stopped by General Sharktooth reaching out and told that this was the closest place he could keep himself safe.

So he coughed lightly, spread his arms, and spoke in a baritone that was as penetrating as a whale's call.

"You don't have to wait, fellow Fishman Street!" He held his head high, opened his right arm, and the clean and expensive ink-black gold-rimmed begonia flower court dress covered his protruding belly, showing his figure even more upright.

"Your Majesty has heard you, and His Majesty is sorry for ignoring Fishman Street."

"His Majesty the King has issued an order to strengthen the entry review of Fish-Man Island!"

"And send the Kingdom garrison and security team to Fish-Man Island to maintain the law and order of Fish-Man Street."

"Look at the mighty army in front of you, all the problems you are worried about, His Majesty will solve them for you."

"Fart!"

"Prawn!"

"Fuck your majesty!"

"Fuck you Neptune!"

……

As soon as the Minister of State's words fell, a continuous stream of expletives rang out from within the steel walls, and the fishmen on the walls threw dead fish in the direction of the Secretary of State.

Fortunately, it was far enough away that the fishy smell did not reach the Chancellor's nose.

The nose of the mermaid nobleman can't stand this.

"Mo Brown! Negotiations will not yield results if they continue like this. The Secretary of State gave up his speech and instead spoke directly to the rebellious chieftain.

"I didn't expect the negotiations to come to an end." Mo Brown exclaimed: "We are ready to get the result we want!" ”

Another round of cheers!

"Tell me, what orders have been given by His Majesty the King!"

"Get out of the way, let the Kingdom Army enter Fishman Street, and arrest those traitors!"

"In this way, the wanted king on your body will be canceled, and the security team you set up privately, the king will also give the establishment and pay the salary!"

"We refuse!" Mo Brown coldly refused.

The cheers of the residents of Fish-Man Street almost boiled the sea.

"Stupid!" The Minister of State finally lost his temper: "You bastards, you have no idea what's above the sea!" ”

"You don't understand at all, that power is much more terrifying than the small Fish-Man Street, than the Fish-Man Island!"

"You will pay the price of blood!"

"Your blood will ......"

Bang! A gunshot rang out, and I don't know which angry fish-man fired the shot.

The Secretary of State's body was agitated, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He settled down and raised a cold face.

He glared in disgust at the manta rays on the steel city wall, sorted out his ink-black and gold-edged begonia flower uniform, and turned to face the sharktooth general.

"The final negotiations failed."

"Fight for the kingdom, General!"

The wounded mermaid general finally waited for the king's order, and he waved his hand, and the sound of the cannon was loud and alarming.

Sen Leng's piercing harpoon shot violently, piercing the steel and nailing into the flesh of the fish-man.

Burning shells erupted into the sky from the roaring muzzles, falling behind the steel walls with billowing black smoke.

The fish-man's phalanx began to move forward, and the spears pointed diagonally at the sky.

Amid the roar of artillery salvos, the war began!

————————————————

In the sunny Governor's Mansion on Fish-Man Island, Jenna, the mermaid aunt who had already been blessed and divided, took a few steps and came to Lysa's side sweating profusely.

Lysa turned to look at her, and Jenna's sleeves were stained with bright red blood, almost dripping from the ground.

After seeing the sleeping face of the little fishman placed on the cradle, Jenna suppressed her loud voice.

"Miss, that one's injuries have stabilized." She said, her fat face full of disbelief: "There are wounds all over his body, his bones are almost all broken, and his abdomen is almost half left, I don't even know how he survived until now!" ”

"He must live, Jenna!"

"He must live!"

The smile had long since disappeared from Miss Mermaid's face.

She caressed the cheek of her sleeping child, her gaze gentle and resolute.

"That way, little Fitz doesn't have to go to that dark and chaotic fish-man street to live."

"In this way, little Fitz can escape from the deep sea with me and go to the sea."

"To see the stars twinkling in the night!"

"And that, the warm and blazing sun!"

------Off topic------

Since ancient times, mermaids and merfolk have lived separately in different areas of the island and have completely different eating habits (eating fish and not eating fish).

The unstable genes of the mermaid (merman) make the mermaid or mermaid people give birth to mermaids of a different species (mermaid) even if they are combined with the same species.

In the fish-man gathering area, there are mermaids who go to beg for a living, but in the area where the mermaids live, there are almost no fish-people.

[This is due to the fact that after giving birth to a merman, the mermaid will choose to abandon the fish-man baby directly, or let him live in the fish-man street after raising him to be able to support himself.] So the entire Fish-Man Street is a huge orphanage that belongs to Fish-Man Island]
