Section 222 The First Ambergris War (1)
At the dock of Modo's harbor, dock workers like ants are constantly moving supplies to the ship.
Solomon said with satisfaction: "It seems that we are almost ready, just wait for the Titanian fleet to meet us, and then we can set off." ”
"Counting the time, it should be these few days to arrive, and then we will set off together. Beshof said, who accompanied Solomon.
"Well, then I wish you success. ”
"Hehe, I haven't been on a boat since I'm so big. England Mu Dao with an excited face.
This expeditionary fleet was joined by England with a detachment of Wolf, who, of course, was excited at this time, but regretted it soon after going out to sea, because he was seasick.
It was the leader of the new generation of orcs, Sidipat's face of the Rhine was a little solemn, "Solomon, is the fleet directly attacking the east coast of the Emerald Continent like this? This is a bit risky, if the elves find out in advance or resist desperately, attracting the attention of the elven court, the landing may fail." ”
Bethoff smiled when he saw Solomon, and then replied, "Don't worry, the Duke has already assigned men and horses to distract the elves. ”
Sidipat's thought that Bethof's bloodline seemed to have something to do with the Sea Clan, and suddenly understood.
"Sidipat, you can rest assured, there are still some strange soldiers in my strategy, which will attract the attention of the Elven Royal Court, do you remember that a life research institute was established in China a few days ago?"
Sidipate was slightly stunned, he had arrived in Saint-Quentin a few days ago, and he had indeed heard of the establishment of a life research institute, which was quite strange. It turned out to be independent from the Magic Research Institute. It would have been noticeable in normal times, but it was just the time for the expeditionary fleet to attack. This was just a small wave, so he didn't explore it in detail, but he didn't know what it had to do with the strange soldiers arranged by Solomon.
"Duke Solomon, there's a reply from the Heavenly Fire Plateau. An elderly Fawkes came up with the support of a Fawkes priestess, who was also Solomon's acquaintance Beatrice, who had become a war priest among the orcs, and a step further up was the Priestess of the Scepter.
The old Foss she was holding was her grandfather, now the Grand Elder of the Fawkes. Also a scepter priest among the orcs.
He brought a reply from the Heavenly Fire Plateau, and Solomon picked up the letter, read it quickly, nodded slightly, and said, "His Majesty King Beamon has decided to send General Tirramon as an envoy to meet with me. ”――
As the waves crash into the air, seabirds let out bursts of calls from the surface of the sea and then flutter their wings and fly high into the air.
On the beach, two figures are working together to push a canoe into the water.
When the boat floated into the water, Jackson wiped the sweat from his head and looked at Melinda with affection.
"Melinda, it's so nice. After that, we can be together, and we will take this canoe to some island to hide for a while. After escaping the limelight, find a way to build a bigger ship and return to the Azure Continent, and then you can find a way to escape to another plane disguised as a merchant. Jackson said.
Melinda nodded: "I hope everything goes well, if not, it won't be bad for us to live on the island for the rest of our lives." ”
Jackson was so excited that he couldn't help but hug her into his arms, kiss her hair lightly, and murmured, "Okay, as long as I can be with you, even if it is a lifetime on a desert island, I am willing." ”
Since the High Elves characterized the ambergris trade as a crime, and Melinda's previous anti-ambergris trade was also a righteous act, naturally no one would embarrass her, but she was commended by the Elven Court and awarded the Silver Cross of the Empire.
However, Jackson was in trouble, and according to the original plan, he should return to his own country and find a way to contact Melinda after the incident subsided.
But although Jackson said yes, he didn't leave before Melinda launched, and after the High Elves qualitatively saliva cream, there were merchants everywhere who wanted to flee back, and he didn't bother to spend a lot of money to find an opportunity to get on the ship, or he didn't want to leave in the first place, and he wanted to be with Melinda all the time.
However, after the High Elves were anti-ambergris qualitative, they quickly expanded the scope to cover the entire trade, turning it into a complete anti-trade action.
For merchants from other continents, even as long as they are from the Azure Continent, even slaves are being arrested.
Jackson was also unfortunate enough to be arrested, but luckily, it was Melinda's brother who captured him.
Melinda's younger brother Lombana of course also turned with his father in the face of the general trend, although Fiji City changed its position quickly and distinctly, becoming a pioneer against the trade in ambergris cream, and gaining fame and fortune in this turmoil, Lombana still hated his sister.
Until now, Lombana had been suspicious of the dangers of ambergris, and because of Melinda's actions, he had turned against several of his best friends.
So when the winds officially changed and the High Elves searched for the Terran merchants, he had already set his sights on Jackson, ready to personally arrest and humiliate this suitor who had an eye for himself with his sister.
He wasn't afraid of anyone stopping him, because Jackson was a genuine merchant from another continent, and he really sold ambergris cream.
Although he vaguely knew that it was this person who helped his sister learn a lot about the inside story of the ambergris cream trade anyway, so that Melinda could successfully persuade some big people and launch anti-trade actions, but he didn't care so much, he lost his best friend, and he must make his sister unhappy.
So Jackson squatted in the prison of the High Elves for a few months, and Melinda didn't know that Jackson hadn't left, but when she learned about it, she immediately went to her brother to ask for someone.
But at this time, it prefers to have a lot of trouble, and the elven court asked the merchants from other continents to be arrested from all over the world to be imprisoned together, so Jackson was taken away again.
This is troublesome, because in Fiji City, in the end, Melinda's base camp, as long as it is said that his father Edgar is moved, it is just a gesture to release the lover.
In fact, although her brother arrested Jackson, he didn't want to completely turn his face with Melinda, but he was unwilling to take revenge.
But when the person was taken away by the royal army, Lombana also panicked, and Melinda didn't care about scolding her brother, so she had to do her best to rescue Jackson.
However, during the rescue process, there were also people who secretly obstructed it, and it was later revealed that the obstructors were the men of the Elven King Arena and Fernafin.
Fortunately, Melinda had taken Jackson to convince the Great Druid, so the Wrath of the Earth and the Endless Ocean both stepped in to help her save people, and Melinda's outstanding performance in the Elven Court's debate on Ambergris was also appreciated by another Great Elven King, Caranhill.
With the help of these three people, Jackson was only tortured in the end, but he returned to Fiji City with Melinda without any danger.
However, although the people were rescued, the High Elves always had a grudge against Jackson's identity, including Edgar, who did not want his daughter to be with Jackson.
So Melinda made up her mind to let Jackson escape to the island first, then find a way to go to Jackson's continent again, and finally go to other planes to live incognito.
"You're so nice. Jackson hugged her tightly.
"You've done so much for me. Melinda said softly.
The two jumped into the canoe, which was an ordinary wooden boat, and the two clumsily rowed the boat, and the wooden boat swung through the sea and slowly sailed into the distance.
Jackson looked at his lover with his back to the sea, and was about to speak, when suddenly Melinda's face changed slightly, and then she stood up.
"What's wrong?" Jackson was stunned.
"What's there, what's there?" Melinda recited an elven spell and blessed herself with an eagle eye spell.
Jackson struggled to balance his feet on the boat, then cast a spell and looked in the direction of the ocean.
The waves were rolling over there, like there were a lot of things rolling on this side of the shore.
"It's the Sea Clan, it's the Sea Clan, those nasty Sea Clans. Melinda said in surprise and anger, seeing at least a hundred huge sea bats in her eyes, and there were many more sea tribes swimming or potential sea bats around, and on the sea bats, there were high-level sea tribe leaders like the Shaq or Weir tribes.
"Oh my God, they're coming for Fiji City!" Melinda screamed, judging the Sea Clan's target.
"Do they want to attack Fiji City?" said Jackson in shock.
Of course, the sea clan has a great advantage in the sea, even the high elves have a headache, but if it comes to going ashore, then the sea clan's combat effectiveness is average, and the combat power will decline to varying degrees, and its own biological rank is not as good as the high elves except for the high-level sea tribes such as the Shaq clan or the Wei clan, and they are not opponents.
But the problem is that there are really too many sea clans in sight now, and there are high-level sea tribes, if Fiji City is not guarded, maybe it will really suffer a big loss.
"I'm sorry, Jackson. Melinda said with deep apologies.
Jackson's body shook, and a wry smile appeared on his face, understanding Melinda's choice. She had already agreed to leave here with Jackson, but now that the Sea Clan is attacking, she must make a choice, if she chooses to go back to report the news, then she may be able to reduce the losses of Fiji City, but if Edgar knows that her daughter was originally preparing for Jackson's elopement, then it is difficult to predict what she will do to them in the future. But if she didn't go back to report the news, it would be very difficult for Melinda, who was her hometown, with her relatives and friends, how could she watch the disaster rush to them and selfishly escape for her love.
"It's okay, I'll go back with you to inform the elves in Fiji City. Jackson said resolutely.
The two immediately jumped into the sea, then desperately swam back to the shore, and ran towards Fiji City for half a moment. (To be continued.) )
