On the king's side, he saw the tragic image below through the center.

The center is shouting: "Hahahaha, people are like garbage!" ”

Wang: "Are you happy?" ”

Central: "I'm a machine that doesn't have enough computing power, I just read the set lines." ”

Wang: "You're set to say this kind of line in this situation?" ”

"Yes. But most of the time, there is a divine calculation, saying that what God decides. ”

The king shrugged.

At this time, he was actually a little reluctant.

Although it is the pot of the cyclops' "poison", after all, he can't stop it when he stands by and watches, and he can't get over it without a pot, but he can't get over it on his conscience.

The losses caused by the stranding of merchant ships still have to be carefully calculated, and it is estimated that the losses of people who were washed away are quite a lot.

Wang thought about it for a while, and felt that he had to compensate others, anyway, he had received so many gold coins from the first two countries that he was too lazy to count them, so he didn't have to use them in vain.

With this in mind, Wang walked towards the elevator.

The elevator goes straight to the ground - this elevator goes straight to the base of the idol that is the heavy defense unit, and the reason why he didn't use it when he just came down was because this elevator couldn't be operated from the outside, so he could only run down with his legs and take the elevator when he went out.

Before the king could reach the elevator door, Nini's voice came from the sound transmission stone: "Raise the island a little higher!" ”

Wang: "What's wrong?" ”

"Dirt!" "The water washed the dirt away!" Leave it here overnight and the ground will become shallow. ”

Wang was shocked: "Is there soil erosion? ”

"What?" Nini's confused voice came from the sound stone.

Soil erosion is also a foreign word, and it is not found in the lingua franca of this plane.

Wang: "It's nothing, I'll raise the floating island immediately, and when you see the stone coming out of the water, you will call it a stop." ”

"Leave it to me!"

**

On the deck of the Starchaser, the captains of the merchant ships saw the floating city rising again, and hurriedly asked the boatswain, "What does this mean?" ”

The boatswain sneered: "Hmph, isn't that obvious? This is to tell you that you are not worthy of being equal to our boss! ”

It dawned on the captains.

"I see! It doesn't have to be like this, we have to be so unaware that we think we're on an equal footing with someone who owns a floating city. ”

"But just now I took a peek at the surface of the Floating City, and it seems that this Floating City is a little cold."

"What is a cold! That's called a hundred wastes waiting to be rebuilt! Your Excellency, the Captain of the Salvation Squad, has hired us to carry out the initial construction! ”

As he spoke, someone walked up to the side of the Floating City and looked condescendingly at the captains of the Starchaser.

One captain recognized the man: "It's Her Royal Highness Melward, the Queen of Monrovia, and Her Royal Highness Princess Langdon of Kosania!" ”

Naturally, the captains did not dare to call the two princesses by name.

Rosalie was quite accustomed to it, and Elizabeth showed a blank expression for a moment, and only after a few seconds did she realize that His Royal Highness Langdon was calling herself, and hurriedly put on a dignified posture.

Rosalie spoke: "The city lord has already said through the sound transmission stone that he will compensate everyone for their losses. I thought about it, and said that you definitely don't dare to ask for compensation, after all, you have just seen the power of the Floating City, and you don't dare to ask for compensation if you five guts.

"The lord of the castle is relatively dull in this kind of thing.

"So I'm in charge, and we'll buy all your ships and cargo, and the resulting liability."

Rosalie's words directly raised her status, after all, she was a person who could call the shots under the city lord.

Elizabeth sensed this and hurriedly said, "As a member of the Salvation Squad, I approve of Rosalie's approach. ”

Elizabeth's meaning is also very clear: How about you call the shots, or do you want me to nod as a member of the salvation team?

She also implies that Rosalie is not part of the Salvation Squad.

And with a few captains, this is undoubtedly high-value intelligence that can spy on the power structure of the Floating City!

At this time, the boatswain suddenly said: "Give a carrot with a stick, the lord of the castle is indeed a person who knows the strategy of sticks and carrots!" ”

Several captains nodded yes.

Rosalie: "Anyway, you estimate the price of your ship, prepare the paperwork, and come to me." In addition, the lord of the city said, "I will hire you as laborers." I see you dismantling the ship directly on the spot and transporting the entire ship to the Floating City.

"I'm not going to be sloppy with you, although now I'm talking about a floating city, but in fact there is no city at all, at least not on the ground. Your ship was dismantled to build the first ground installations.

"Do you have carpenters on board?"

One of the captains replied, "Princess, we are river boats, not sea boats, and river boats do not face much wind and waves, so we usually do not bring carpenters with them." You can suggest to the Lord of the Castle to hire a carpenter in Repulse City downstream. I see that the lord of the castle also has a dwarf airship, which can be used to go back and forth in a day. ”

Rosalie nodded.

At this time, the king appeared on Xiaobai.

In fact, Wang didn't deliberately ride Xiaobai's wolf to appear, the main elevator is in the middle of the floating city, and it is too laborious to walk over, so it is convenient to ride Xiaobai.

But in the eyes of the captains, there is a deep meaning: the little white wolf is a big wolf that looks very imposing, and the king who appears on the wolf looks full of majesty.

Wang: "Rosalie, did you tell them?" ”

Rosalie: "Yes—oh, back to the lord, I told them to buy their ship and all their cargo, and hire their sailors, and they agreed. ”

Wang nodded: "Yes." That ......"

Rosalie: "The captain suggested that we send someone on a dwarf airship to the city of Shallow Water downstream, and hire carpenters, stonemasons, and other craftsmen. ”

In fact, the captain only suggested hiring a carpenter, and Rosalie herself expanded the scope of the hiring.

Wang: "Yes, you can also use an airship to go to Repulse City." Then we hired all the craftsmen we needed, bought bricks, timber and tools, and put the house up on the ground first, and we couldn't continue to live underground.

"In addition, there is food, and the lizardmen hunters flying in the sky can't hunt, so many people have to eat."

A few captains heard it well, this floating city needs supplies! This is a business opportunity!

Immediately, the captain raised his head: "We have rice from the downstream in our warehouse, although it may have been damp when the waves hit just now, but it should just meet the needs of the city lord." ”

Wang: "Rice? Bought! But there are so many of us, almost 300 people, you can't eat a boatload of rice for long. ”

Rosalie frowned, thinking to herself how did you reveal all of us.

And the captains decided that there must be more than 300 people, and I wonder if there are any guards who are not human!

At this time, the king said: "It is inconvenient to talk like this, why don't you come up and talk, the head of the self-police regiment!" Let your people hang the rope ladder and hang it there! ”

Oscar: "Good! ”

Only then did the captains notice Oscar, and it was the captain who recognized Rosalie who shouted, "It's Her Royal Highness Melward, Princess of Monrovia!" Why is she here? ”

Oscar frowned: "You can't tell if you're talking about my sister or me, you call me the head of the regiment." ”

"Commander? Her Royal Highness the princess as the head of the self-police regiment? ”

"What? Think I'm incompetent? Did you get a rope ladder? Hang here! ”

The last two sentences Oscar said to his subordinates, and soon the rope ladder hung down on the edge of the floating island.

Wang: "Please, folks. ”

**

Several captains climbed the rope ladder and saw the huge idol kneeling in the middle of the island for the first time.

"What is that?" The captain asked.

Wang: "It's the Cyclops' heavy defense unit, the Great Golem. It's just that it's broken now and I can't move. ”

"Oh, that's it......" The questioning captain nodded when he saw a golem in the same shape as the idol emerge from the ruins of the ruins.

The king noticed the captain's gaze and hurriedly said, "That is the civilian unit of the Floating City, which is another kind of golem, responsible for the maintenance of the island. ”

"Why isn't it broken?"

"Ah, because this thing is an independent unit, the central god of the island of no return. Oh, the god is what the dwarves often call the machine soul, and the things in the central god are broken. ”

Several visitors showed expressions of "you just say that I believe you, and I will lose".

Wang didn't expect that his approach of saying anything without concealment would have the effect of secrecy - the most brilliant secrecy measure was to put the truth in the open, but no one believed it.

At this time, a visitor finally noticed the lizardman in the onlookers.

"Is this again?"

Wang: "Oh, these are the lizardmen warriors who are preparing to join us in the crusade against the Order, they have been slaughtered by the Order, so they want revenge. I'll put them on the sidelines. ”

"A loyal group of lizardmen warriors." Rosalie added.

The captains had another look on their faces.

After all, the strength of the lizardmen as warriors and hunters has always been highly regarded among mercenaries.

These merchant captains, in order to protect themselves from river pirates, have always had a close relationship with the mercenaries. They naturally know that lizardfolk are excellent warriors and hunters.

With more than a hundred lizardman warriors, their combat effectiveness is definitely higher than that of more than a hundred ordinary human warriors. If it's the kind of town garrison that doesn't have much of a war, I'm afraid that it won't be a hundred or so lizardmen warriors who can kill them all—as long as they can get over the walls and into the city.

And the last thing that Floating City needs to worry about is the high walls.

Wang: "Anyway, this is the situation, so let's ask you to organize the sailors, and first move the cargo on your ship to the floating city, so that Rosalie can see what it is, and then estimate the price or something."

"If you want bills, you can do that. Also, I don't want you to go into the dungeon, so let's see if you can find a way to shelter yourself from the wind and rain on the ground.

"I see that your boat is relatively small, so if you don't see the mast or something first, and move the ship up, it will be regarded as a temporary residence. I'm going to organize people to go to Repulse City and hire craftsmen and more laborers. ”
