Chapter 258: Departure, Divine Ruins, Masked Woman
In fact, Tomodo has now become the head of industrial production at the Crown of the Seas, and even Willus would not dare to be disrespectful to him in terms of strength or position.
The entire industrial park of the underground lizardman world is in charge of it.
Ji Chen is also happy to be here, the so-called art industry has a specialization, since Tomodo is willing to take this position, then he doesn't mind delegating power and sharing the pressure.
At the same time, it also seems to be a way to tie Tomodo to the chariot of the Crown of the Sea.
Kill two birds with one stone.
"Your Excellency Tomodo, in two days I will be going to the Starry Islands with my army, and I hope that you will be able to strike at the crown of the ocean in danger while I am away."
Although Ji Chen had already done several layers of insurance, he didn't care about adding another layer.
The last time the Kingdom of Bath brought him momentum hadn't passed, and he didn't want to be stolen again.
"Of course that's fine, as long as you kid remembers the promise."
Tomodo waved his hand and hammered it with one hand.
"I'll just hammer those sea beasts one by one, and knock out all the brains for them."
With the assurance of this dwarven powerhouse standing at the top of the world, he was also much more relieved, and all the worries in his heart disappeared.
After walking around several workshops that were tens of meters high and in full swing, Ji Chen returned to the ground.
Looked at the time.
Now that the Sea Beast Tide is estimated to be halfway there, it will be seven or eight days at most to reach the Star Islands, and he is almost about to set off.
"All the army assembled!"
The main army is gathered here.
This expedition was organized into the six main legions, and the Dragon Horn Catfish, as a French output unit, was incorporated into the Guards Legion.
The dragon horn catfish class performed extremely well in the previous sea beast tide, and the lightning spell output in one hand was simply explosive.
After the reorganization is completed.
Ji Chen waved his hand, and thousands of troops marched towards the ocean in unison.
Along the way, I also encountered a lot of scattered sea beast groups, ranging from a dozen to hundreds, but they were vulnerable in front of the Ocean Champion team, and any legion could easily solve them.
After five days of sailing, the group successfully arrived at the sea where the Star Islands are located.
As soon as you enter this area, you can feel the strange atmosphere that pervades the area, and it seems that even the sea breeze is blowing tightly.
The news of the imminent arrival of the Sea Beast Tide has spread throughout the sea, and countless aborigines and players have chosen to leave, leaving with their possessions.
Ships fleeing from the sea can be seen everywhere.
Ji Chen even saw some players rowing away from fishing boats, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Fishing boats are barely viable to be used offshore, but once in the open ocean, it won't take long for them to be overturned by the waves, and then it may be time to stage an ocean survival.
The retrograde Ocean Champions team was particularly conspicuous among the many teams that fled outside, and many aborigines and players looked at Ji Chen and them curiously, not quite understanding why they were still here at this time.
Ignoring these strange gazes, Ji Chen approached the Star Islands with his army.
The reason why the Shining Islands are called Shine is because it is a large archipelago, with tens of thousands of islands of all sizes embedded in this ocean like stars, and the layers of island chains constitute a relatively calm sea area.
Before the arrival of the player, this is a very prosperous archipelago, countless ships pass through the supply and trade here, after the arrival of the player, in the face of these "extraterrestrial visitors", the management forces here are also keenly aware of the player's extraordinaryness and potential.
Not only does he show a very friendly attitude, but he is also willing to give away a large number of islands to the player as a territory, as long as they follow the order here.
In this way, not only can they sell their favors and stabilize the order here, but they can also use the power of the player to open up those islands that they can't care about at all, making this place more prosperous.
It can be said that the Star Islands are friendly and integrated with the players by the indigenous forces
A great example.
Everything is moving in a better direction.
Then, a sudden tide of sea beasts shattered the prosperity and stability here.
On one of the largest islands near the center of the archipelago, a castle complex stands on the central mountain, which is the headquarters of the ruling power of the Shining Islands, Shine City.
In a grand hall, the faces of more than a dozen members of Star City sitting at the conference table were full of sorrow.
"I heard that another group of Glory Lords have chosen to leave, and if this continues, I'm afraid everyone will run out."
"Not only the Lord of Glory, but many merchants have left early, and some have even sold their properties on the island, should we get stuck?"
"No, the Shining Islands have always advocated free trade, and this will destroy the soil on which we live!"
"But when is it, everything will be destroyed as soon as the sea beast tide comes here, why are you still thinking about this?"
"Why is this goddamn tide of sea beasts happening!? It just happened to crash into us."
Speaking of this, the members of the House of Representatives all sighed, after all, all of this is the impact of the upcoming sea beast tide, if someone can resist it, then the Star Islands can be preserved......
"Your Excellency, the Shining Islands are saved!!"
At this moment, the shouts of the guards suddenly came from outside the hall.
The deputies looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
……
Just as the Starry Islands are feeling uneasy about the impending tide of sea beasts.
The Crescent Islands are thousands of miles away.
Great Fluorescent Sea Dragon King City Prison.
The commander of the thousand-man team slowly woke up from his coma, and when he saw the unfamiliar ceiling in front of him, he was stunned, and then quickly got up.
At this time, the memories in his mind returned like a tidal wave, and he remembered that he was charging alone, and the last moment of his memory seemed to be drowned out by the rushing Sangonomiya army.
Although there was pain all over his body, there was no doubt that he was still alive.
muttered.
"Why didn't they kill me...... But where am I now?"
Ignoring the question of why the Coral Palace didn't kill him, the leader of the Thousand People looked at the surrounding environment in confusion, and quickly reacted, this is the prison of Dragon King City!
I heard that Lord Diego is being held here!!
"My lord, my lord, are you here......
He had just pulled to the edge of the cell and tried to find Master Diego when he saw the image that made him look at it in three ways.
"You the! If I were you, I would have slammed into the pillar and pinched it, betrayed the Dragon King City, and would you be embarrassed to live?"
"I don't know who threw it away in Dragon King City, you are the Water Dragon King, but you are the last generation, if the Water Dragon Kings of the past generations heard the news, I am afraid that they will be so angry that they will jump out of the coffin."
"You're embarrassed to talk about me, a leading party? Not only did he take outsiders to break through Dragon King City, but he also exposed the treasure house, and you are still relatively high in terms of the degree of rebellion."
「………」
It was in the cell next to it.
In his mind, Lord Diego, who was incomparably majestic and powerful, was now scolding a catfish with horns like a shrew on the street.
Although I don't fully understand why I need to add a strange auxiliary verb to the end of the sentence, the picture in front of me is not fake!
Diego also noticed the awakened leader of the Thousand People, looked at him a few times, and suddenly frowned, "You look a little familiar, haven't you seen it somewhere?"
「… Master Diego, you are the commander of the Thousand Men who you gave me a chance to make meritorious contributions."
After a short thought, Diego suddenly realized, "It's you, so you're not dead."
The Commander of the Thousand Men swallowed, "Fortunately, thanks to you, the Coral Palace didn't kill me after it captured me, but locked me up here."
"And such a thing? Tell me all about your previous experiences."
He took a deep breath, and although the glorious image of his allegiance was a little shattered, he still told all the memories of his previous defeat from Dragon King City, guarding Yuzui Canyon, and charging alone and then being overwhelmed by the army of the Coral Palace.
Diego was a little surprised, and exclaimed, "I didn't expect me to have such a brave commander under my command."
"You are at least a 10,000-person team leader, and the 1000-person team leader has wronged you."
「… Lord Diego, now that the army of Dragon King City has been completely wiped out, there are no more 10,000 troops."
"That's what I said......
"My subordinates dare to ask my lord, who is that sea tribe that looks quite similar to you?"
"That idiot? Oh, it's my brother."
"Brother?" The commander of the thousand-man team looked confused, because he left with his subordinates after the defeat of the Dragon King City army, so he didn't see the scene where Ji Chen used Diego to blackmail Andal, and naturally he didn't know that Lord Diego had a younger brother.
But this is obviously only a minor issue.
He looked left and right to make sure there were no jailers or soldiers nearby, and then said in a deep voice.
"Lord Diego, I have something to report to you, and it may be related to whether Dragon King City can rise again."
Hearing this, Diego's expression also became solemn, and he finally regained a trace of his heroic momentum.
"Say."
"I was stationed in the Fishmouth Canyon with a team of 1,000 men and thousands of residents, and when I was exploring the canyon, I accidentally discovered a ruin embedded in the cliff wall in the depths of the canyon."
"That ruin wasn't built by the Great Fluorescent Sea Clan or humans at all, it was extremely sacred and noble, as if... It's like what the gods have left behind."
The Great Fluorescent Sea was once connected to the main world for a long time, or when the humans in the secret realm were still weak, there were footprints of external civilizations here.
As a result, concepts such as gods and spirits were also introduced here and passed down.
"Before I could explore the suspected god ruins, the Sango Palace had already come to the door."
The leader of the Thousand Men looked a little excited, "But since it may be a divine relic, maybe there is some artifact left in it that can help us drive away the alien humans, destroy the Coral Palace, and restore the Dragon King City!"
Diego also felt a little moved in his heart, "Is this news true enough?"
"Swear by life and honor!"
If he can really get an artifact or something from that ruin, maybe he can really defeat Sonia and destroy the Sanga, and then he can destroy the gate of the secret realm and cut off contact with the outside world forever, then the Great Fluorescent Sea will finally return to his hands.
"In that case, let's plan our jailbreak..."
Just as the lord and the minister were quietly discussing the plan, Sonia's eyes, which had been hiding in the dark from the beginning, gradually brightened.
Choosing not to kill the commander of the thousand-man team who charged alone but put him in prison before, at first it was a pity, and the commander who was able to command a thousand-man team to block several attacks of the Coral Palace was brilliant enough, and he might be able to use it for himself.
And deliberately placing him in a cell next to Diego is also a casual move, just to see if they are dead.
For this reason, she also deliberately let the jailers and soldiers go farther away.
But I didn't expect it to be such a casual move, and it was a big surprise.
"The relics of the gods..."
Sonia silently read the news, this news has to tell Lord Ji Chen that he can do it...
……
In the halls of the Council of Starlight City.
The congressman looked at the tall woman with a mask in front of him, and even though most of her face was covered, she could still tell from the rest that this was a peerless beauty.
But they didn't have the heart to appreciate these at this time, just now the guards reported that a woman wearing a mask wanted to meet them, saying that she could help the Star Islands defend against the tide of sea beasts.
"This... Guest, don't know what your name is? I heard you can help us defend ourselves against sea beasts?"
Speaker Hardeman, who was sitting at the top, said in a calm tone
。
The masked woman's lips lifted slightly, and her voice was ethereal, "My master ordered me to come, and if you are willing to pay the price, we can help you resist the tide of sea beasts."
"Your master? Why didn't he come here to interview us in person?"
"Moreover, this time, there are millions of sea beasts that pass through the entire Starlight Islands alone, which is not something that anyone can stop, and what confidence can your master have to stop it?"
"Since you've come to the door, you should know the consequences of deceiving us!"
In the face of Hardeman's somewhat questioning words, the masked woman did not have any emotional fluctuations, but said.
"Believe it or not, it's all up to you, but without us, the Shining Islands would have been reduced to smoke under the claws of sea beasts."
"The master is busy with everything and doesn't care about this place, but he just passed by and saw a disaster in the Starry Islands, and he didn't want too many people to die, so he sent me here to ask."
"Moreover, the power of the master is beyond your imagination, you just need to know that we can save your life."
Speaker Hardeman's face was cloudy, and he couldn't see through the truth of the masked woman's words.
But they don't seem to have much choice, the tide of sea beasts will arrive in two days at the earliest, and even if they have to leave behind most of their family business at that time, otherwise they will be buried in the blood of sea beasts.
But if they can, they are not willing to give up the inheritance and wealth that has been passed down from generation to generation.
「… We may be able to talk about the cost you are talking about."
Under the mask, the stunningly beautiful woman raised a faint smile, "Very good, you have seized the opportunity to live."
