King Coria sat on his throne and frowned as he watched the large number of merfolk warriors gathered around the palace as they gathered their corpses.

What to do?

The unsuccessful attack ten days earlier had brought unprecedented crisis to the kingdom.

Three days ago, the careerists launched a tentative attack, and although Wang ** repelled them as always, he revealed the fact that the siege crab of the Protector Divine Beast was injured.

In the days that followed, the people of the kingdom were attacked everywhere, and food was very difficult to obtain.

Just today, the undying careerist drove his army to the vicinity of the palace. Although they will never be able to defeat the Protector Beast, they have the ability to lock down the palace so that the fish people cannot bring food in.

If it had been before, you could have killed them with siege crabs. But now the Protector Divine Beast is slow to move due to its broken leg, and it can't catch up with the enemy at all. Predation is also impossible, and it is already difficult to hunt after siege crabs are injured, and there are always a large number of enemies to disperse the fish.

Protecting the country, the beast is starving, and in the long run, the country will not be a country!

"Koria, honestly hand over the siege crabs, and I can be magnanimous and I will not blame the past, and make you a general. ”

"Daydreaming!" King Korya scolded in the face of the enemy chieftain who was shouting again, "It's too late for you to go back now, or you will be careful and your life will be at risk." ”

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha...... In another ten days and half a month, you are afraid that you will not even have the strength to climb, and it will be too late to surrender at that time. "The enemy chief is arrogant.

King Coria was furious and attacked again with siege crabs. The enemy fled in despair, but took all the corpses with them, leaving only the aquatic plants that had not yet had time to be cleaned up.

King Korya angrily began to graze.

Although siege crabs can also eat grass, they must be collected by a large number of fishmen to be satisfied, and they are now alone and harassed by a large number of enemies, so they cannot support siege crabs whose movement speed has been greatly reduced.

What can we do to turn the tide and save the kingdom?

Suddenly, the apprehensive King of Coria found a loach wearing a tiger skin skirt and a hoop, the culprit responsible for the kingdom's predicament, which he recognized even if it turned to ashes.

Hmph, even if the strength of the Protector Divine Beast is greatly reduced, it can make you hate again!

Goku turns into a fish-man again and comes to attack routinely. After more than a month of intensive training, Goku already has a lot of experience in water warfare. Although he still can't hurt the siege crab, he is extremely skilled in attacking and killing fishmen. If Coria dared to fight herself, she might be able to capture her. Coupled with the fact that the speed of the siege crab is now greatly reduced after being injured, the attack has become very safe.

Today, Koria seems to be giving a speech again, and a large group of fishmen are listening to him fart outside the cave around the mythical beast, and I don't know why he talks so much bullshit, and he can't finish it every day.

Because the sound propagation in the water is very different from that in the air, Goku doesn't know what the other party is talking about at all, he just thinks that people are easy to do.

Seeing the culprit swinging his stick and fighting with the enemy of the country, King Coria was overjoyed. It's a pity that the waste wood is too wasteful, and it can't even be done to fight for both sides.

"See, even if the siege crab is injured, I still have the protector general, and it will be easy to deal with you group of miscellaneous fish!"

"Hmph, I'll let you go today, I'll see if your protector can turn into a fish for you to eat. "The enemy chieftain is resentful. His name is Bruno, and Coria has long been out of deal with him, and recently he noticed that the situation on Coria's side was not quite right, so he led his army to attack, and found that the siege crab was injured and incapacitated, so he immediately gathered his subordinates and prepared to kill the fishmen of Coria and then snatch it. But when did Coria have such a powerful helper, with him, even if the energy consumption is low to attack the city crab, I'm afraid there is no way to take it over, and things are not easy to do. I don't know if the whale can win.

"Let's go!" After a dozen or so brothers died, Bruno decided to retreat, slowly depleting himself while trying to find another way to deal with them.

Wukong didn't have any idea about the fleeing fishmen, those guys had learned smartly, and knew that the siege crabs couldn't protect them, and now they were all trying to swim in a straight line, and Wukong's swimming speed was comparable to that of the fishmen, and they had to die of exhaustion after chasing them one by one, so they could only kill a few.

Today, they were quite courageous, and they scattered in a hurry without seeing themselves, and took the initiative to send them to death. Kolya's, it seems, has somewhat helped.

Let's do it for now, and come back after taking a nap, hoping that he can boost his morale again and save some effort for himself to kill.

After the two groups of enemies retreated, King Coria fell into deep thought.

Although they had a dog-eat-dog fight this time, this kind of thing could not be repeated, and when the truth was discovered, they might join forces, and then the situation would be even worse. This possibility must be put an end to it. ’

For the sake of the country, the king can give up his dignity!

"The siege crab is coming?" Mike Daqi, now in broad daylight, does he really dare to go ashore? Although Goku went out with Sal, Coria shouldn't know.

"He was in the sea, asking for dialogue. The goblin replied.

"Well, let's see, be careful. "Mike's mage and warlock both broke through a few days ago, the mage learned the 3rd order spell, and the warlock awakened the 4th order of any door, and he is no longer afraid of sneak attacks.

"For the sake of world peace and people's happiness, I think we should put aside hatred and create a better future together. "King Kolya made it clear.

"Return the looted property and lift the blockade of the sea. Mike made his own terms.

"It is okay to lift the blockade of the sea, but taxes are the sacred right of the kingdom, and the vast majority of them have already been used up and cannot be refunded. Koria felt that the other party was simply talking nonsense.

"Give back what you stole from us. Mike lowered the bar.

"Most of yours have been used up, and there is only one secondary delay widening scepter left, which I can return for the sake of world peace and the happiness of the people. But the kingdom's finances are tight, and you can't do anything about your other taxes. "With Coria's character, he would have asked for a ransom, but now that the situation is serious, he doesn't dare to do anything.

"That's all there is left. Mike pretended to be embarrassed, but secretly rejoiced in his heart, the secondary time-delay widening scepter in Coriya's mouth was the nine-ringed tin staff, and it was enough to get it back. "Well, for the sake of the people, as long as you revoke the blockade of the sea and return the scepter, the previous things can be written off. ”

Coria breathed a sigh of relief. "Can you call the shots, and how are you prepared to ensure that you don't attack the people of the kingdom again?"

"What is the guarantee of this, everything was provoked by you, if you didn't attack us first, and the blockade of the sea area later, how would we have the time and energy to entangle with you. Mike dismissed.

...... King Coria decided not to meet the barbarians.

After getting the tin staff back, Mike was ready to go back, his business was done.

"Wait, I have one more proposal. "Kolya's business is not done yet, eliminating hostilities is only the first step, and getting help to tide over the situation is the main goal.

"I have a proposal. In order to witness this rare and precious peace, I have made you Duke of the Kingdom of Koria, and all north of the coast is your fiefdom. King Coria had a serious expression and a serious tone.

Mike wondered if he had a brain problem. "It was originally mine, and no one needed to canonize it. ”

"After becoming the duke of the kingdom, you can pay only a few taxes, but you can get the protection of the kingdom's powerful navy. "King Kolya stated his interests.

"Then why don't I canonize you as the Duke of the Sanzang Kingdom, pay only a few taxes, but you can be protected by the kingdom's powerful army?" Mike dismissed.

...... King Coria decided not to meet the barbarians.

"Otherwise, we will form the United Kingdom of Kolya-Sanzang and complement each other's strengths to create a better future. ”

"What the hell are you trying to do?" Mike wondered if the guy was doing a lot of physical and mental health activities like slamming his head with a door panel.

Koria was silent for a while, and decided to tell part of the truth: "It's winter, the kingdom is short of food, and I hope to get a batch of food and weapons to help the kingdom develop quickly." By next summer, the kingdom can return a large number of fish. ”

Oh, I want development aid.

"No, Sanzang Town is preparing for rapid expansion, and there is not enough food. Mike wanted to say no, but felt that Koria could indeed be used as a barrier in the sea, so he immediately changed his words, "Unless you can offer something of value." ”

Koria was silent for a moment. "Can you call the shots on key issues?"

"Sanzang Town is the town of the mercenary group, and I am the leader of the mercenary group, of course I can call the shots. "Mike Daqi, is there really anything good that Koria can't do?

"What do you think of me, a siege crab?"

"Heavy treasure. "Could it be that Kolya wants to sell this siege crab?

"If I want to sell, what price are you willing to pay at most?" Korya's expression was serious.

That's true, it's kind of interesting. But this thing doesn't seem to be of much use to itself, it can only live in the water, and it can't last two days when it comes ashore. But even if you don't want it, Ryugu may want it, so let's talk about the price first.

"A spell reversal ring, a thousand tons of grain, and three thousand weapons. Mike estimated a number. The most valuable of them all, the Spell Reversal Ring, which can be reversed with a Tier 7 Arcane Spell three times a day, is a talisman coveted by powerful people. Although the benchmark price of 25,000 gold coins does not seem to be expensive, because one of the main materials is the soul fragment of a high-level mage who can reverse the 7th level of arcane spells, it is simply priceless, and can only be exchanged for magic items of the same level.

Koria was silent again for a moment. The Spell Reversal Ring is high-end enough, but he is not afraid of magic at all in the siege crab, so he doesn't need it, he just wants to know the other party's strength and ability to pay. "How do you prove you can produce that level of item?"

"Wukong, you know, just go to you every day, you know his strength before and after his transformation. You can imagine the reasons for this, and it should be enough to prove it. In fact, Mike can't see any benefits to the three-piece set at all, but since it was made by Mr. Aowo and regarded as a treasure by the powerful Wukong, it must be very high-end.

Coria was silent for a long time this time, and he couldn't tell what the reason for Goku's transformation.

The effect of the 5th Order Divine Technique Righteous Qi Like a Rainbow is very consistent, but the duration is only one or two minutes. The 4th level of Arcane Transfiguration is in line with the time, but the effect is not quite right, and the tiger skin skirt should be integrated into the body after transformation. The skills of the transformation master are somewhat similar, and they are also very in line with his transformation into a fishman, but the duration of that transformation is measured in hours, is it not good for him to use the big fishman form directly, why is he only willing to become bigger for twenty minutes. If a piece of magic equipment can activate the Righteous Qi Rainbow that lasts for twenty minutes, it is indeed at the same level as the Spell Reversal Ring. But what if it's just a transfiguration, maybe the tiger skin skirt is more special and can not be integrated into the body, doesn't he even have to wear a tiger skin skirt to become a mermaid man?

But it's strange to say, why does he have to wear a tiger skin skirt when he turns into a fishman? No one can recognize him when he takes it off, isn't it more convenient to engage in a sneak attack, and he doesn't see how high-end it is. Or is it that if you take it off, you can't get bigger, and you can't run away for fear of being discovered?

After thinking about it, Koria decided to believe it for the time being, and asked her next question: "How soon can you take out this batch of things?"

"This is until we discuss it first, the Spell Reversal Ring does not belong to me personally, nor is it an item that can be exchanged casually, and it will take a discussion to determine whether it is worth it or not. And the materials are not lucky, it will take a month or two. ”

"And what can you decide for yourself?" Koria couldn't wait for them to discuss. It will take a few days to discuss and negotiate, and the real situation is likely to leak out. He needs to get his hands on a batch of stuff as soon as possible, preferably right now.

Mike felt a little strange, but still answered his question: "Fifty percent of the income of Sanzang Town, and the materials can be provided in batches every month, only a dozen tons of grain in these two months, and a batch of 100 tons in the future." It will probably take three or four months for weapons to be available in large quantities. "He represented Wukong as well.

Kolya calculated that ten tons of food would almost survive the crisis, and that was the minimum goal. The price of this little grain cannot exceed 1,000 gold coins anyway, but there is no place to buy it except for Sanzang Town. The siege crab was injured and could not swim fast, could not rob the grain ship, and could not go too far. But because he had to deal with the attackers some time ago, the pioneer camp dozens of kilometers east and west was broken by the fishmen led by him, and he really shot himself in the foot......

In addition, Kolya has no money. Although his magic equipment is small, its value is definitely more than that, but he will have to deal with a hard battle next, and he is willing to exchange it for food. Then you can only use the thing that has a huge value but is not used at all, and you don't want the other party to exchange it at the same price, but at least it must have a certain value. It's just eager, what can be exchanged?

"What are your plans for the development of Sanzang Town?" asked Kolya again.

"In five years, it will develop into a medium-sized industrial and agricultural mixed town with 10,000 acres of farmland. ”

"Can you tell me more about it?"

Mike didn't bother to tell him, so he took out the "First Five-Year Plan and Development Outline of Sanzang Town" and asked Korya to read it slowly.
