Chapter 539: Clay City
"If it weren't for the conspiracy you and the captain had, I'd be here right now?"
"We ...... Let's not take what we need. Banderru smiled, and he couldn't tell how thick his skin was.
Ignoring the sand thief, Lanaya sped forward, this is not the case with humans, whose limbs were far less powerful than the fish-man's tails, and who were thrown behind in a short time, had to use the flashing dagger to catch up occasionally.
The city of Clay is not far away, and when you enter the city, you can easily see a magnificent underwater palace inside. Sure enough, as Banderru said, even the lighting here is directly installed with the night pearl, the structure is symmetrical and beautiful, the only flaw is that they chose to visit the wrong time, at this time in the city outside the city, outside the palace, the war continues, and the death and injury are frequent.
Since most of the elites of the fish-man soldiers went out of the city to face the battle, the guards in the city and the palace were all some weak combat power, at this time they were defeated like a mountain, and one by one the enemies from the South China Sea swam past the corpses of the fishmen, slipping away with jewels, and did not look back.
Seeing this, Slarda was furious and rushed over to stab one of the thieves who happened to have escaped from under his nose. The treasures in the hands of the thieves, although they could be sold for a high price on land, were nothing in the eyes of the fishmen, and Slardar did not pick them up, but let them scatter on the ground and continued to advance towards the palace.
The other enemies, who had just slipped out of the palace, were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
"What's the matter, can't even hold a palace?, what about the Guardians?" said Slardar, looking around.
Banderu and Lanaya were also looking around, but their target was the First Thief. Ever since they encountered narwhals at sea, they have not been seen first.
They didn't have a long time apart, but they had no clue about the whereabouts of the first, maybe the first was not in this place at all, and had already left in a lifeboat, but they didn't notice, maybe they swam to a certain shore, and waited for the fish-men to die heavily after this wave of fighting subsided, and then pick the right time to attack, or maybe he reached an agreement with these creatures that invaded from the South China Sea, just like Banderru and Lanaya assisted the fish-men, he was also assisting the creatures of the South China Sea, dealing with these fish-men, but he never showed up.
In any case, once the first thief is found, the first thing to do is to deal with him, for the common good of Banderru, Lanaya, and the fishmen of the entire sea!
After an unknown amount of time, they finally spotted the soldiers of the Fishman Guardians in a temple, and Slardar swam over as fast as he could, asking, "Have you seen anyone who seems to be a diving thief?"
"Report to Captain Slarda, no. ”
Slarda frowned and glanced back at Lanaya, but the fish-man soldier didn't see it, and it didn't mean that the number one thief didn't exist in this palace, and he couldn't conclude that Lanaya must be lying to him.
Slarda turned to ask, "What about Silis?"
The fish-man soldier's expression suddenly became extremely anxious, "Commander, commander, she is dealing with the deep sea monsters in the east of the palace, she didn't have many soldiers with her, they all stayed in the palace, but now all the people in the palace are ...... Captain Slarda, hurry up!"
"And what about the palace?" said Slarda, suddenly louder, "what about the king and princess?"
The soldier of the Fishman Guardian Regiment bowed his head, "I'm sorry, as the guardian of the safety of the royal family, we have been derelict in our duty. Now the king and princess have been forced to join the battle......"
"What do you say, let the king and princess join the battle?" asked Slarda, "where are they?"
"They're also with Captain Silkys. ”
"Go and find all the soldiers who are still in the palace and search for me. If there is any clue, the first signal is given. After Slarda finished speaking, he jumped from the same place to a distance of dozens of meters in an instant, and the current of water curled up by his powerful fishtail shook everyone around him, and the others paused for a while before following.
The soldiers of the Fish-Man Guardian Regiment set out to find the other soldiers, and since he couldn't deal with the trolls of the deep with his abilities, he was always able to guard the palace here.
"Have you been here?" asked Lanaya, looking to Banderu next to her.
"Came once, but only watched above them for a moment. ”
"Where do they usually keep their treasures?"
Even though Lanaya's voice was low enough, and Slardar was fast enough to keep a long distance from them, Banderru was relieved to hide the shell first, and then said in a smaller voice, "In a treasure trove on the east side of the palace." This is only one part of the main part, in fact, their treasures are scattered and preserved, and there will be some in each place, but the treasury on the east side of the palace is the most numerous. ”
After a pause, Banderru suddenly realized something and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I didn't want to do anything, just ask. "Lanaya won't tell her story about her past in the Thieves' Guild. Although her specialty lies in assassination rather than theft, she is a member of the Thieves' Guild and has some skills in this area.
Banderru didn't think so in his heart, he had already witnessed Lanaya's strength, and since Lanaya had already asked this kind of question, it must have a purpose, and he couldn't help but start worrying about something.
Unfortunately, none of the fishmen here are capable of using magic, and they are all fishmen who can only use cold weapons. Now it would be nice to have a fish-man who could cast a crowd booster on them, not only to get to their destination in the fastest time, but also to have a certain advantage when fighting enemies.
It was Banderu and Lanaya who saw the faint blue light that had been emitting from Slarda's body. Due to Slardar's speed, the light dragged into a ribbon of light behind him, which may have been a kind of acceleration, but it seemed to be only released by himself, and used by himself.
Unlike the flat land kingdoms, the terrain of the royal palaces under the sea is very varied, some palaces are built directly on naturally formed boulders, while others are located in caves.
However, when you are in the water, you can take any route you want, not to mention all kinds of sea creatures, but if you are a land creature, you can wander above the palace as long as you use the Deep Sea Orb. Of course, in the past, the premise was not to be caught by the guards and poked violently. Now, the guards were either dead or transferred to the front, and the sea above the palace was empty and lonely.
After a long journey, they saw the eastern exit of the palace. There is no door in the palace at the bottom of the sea, everyone can swim, the door looks like a kind of decoration, and the entrance and exit here are surrounded by a row of finely carved jade pillars, and some huge, giant fishmen who look like squid stand on a pile of jade pillars, and fire "cannon fire" at distant enemies, that is, with a strong poisonous ink attack.
The toxin only eats away at the blood, sprays it in the sea, and when diluted, has little effect on the rest of the people who are not injured, but for those who are injured, it is an indiscriminate attack from friend to foe.
In addition to these ranged turrets, a few sword-wielding fish-man soldiers were engaged in a battle with hordes of deep-sea trolls not far away.
It's "swarms", not "several", however, a few deep-sea trolls are enough to engulf hundreds of fish-man soldiers.
There are only a few dozen fish-man soldiers fighting here, and their combined size is not as large as a deep-sea troll. Half of the fish-man soldiers had already died at the feet of the trolls of the depths.
In the middle of this group of fish-man soldiers, there is a striking figure, she is the head of the fish-man guard regiment that the fishmen say, Sriss, leading the other half of the army in addition to Slarda's garrison.
I saw that Slices sometimes changed her figure, in front of the enemy, one she turned into four, distracting the target and pressure, in the case of the army retreating, she could barely hold on to the battle, and sometimes cast a huge net like a fisherman's fishing, so that those deep-sea trolls that were even dozens or hundreds of times their own size could not move.
However, she, Riches, alone could not turn the tide.
Slardar, who had just arrived, and the soldiers he had brought with him, as well as the two terrestrial humans who had been left far behind and had caught up with them a long time later, saw Srisis first, and the king and princess the second.
The characteristics of their costumes and weapons are hard to notice unnoticed, and they have become the main targets of the sea trolls, and the other soldiers, as well as the illusions of Thriss's ever-splitting visions, are trying to defend the king and princess, shouting to them in fish-man language to get back to the palace, but they are still stubbornly holding on.
"Up!" Slarda shouted, leading his men forward.
"Protect the king, protect the princess!" echoed the other soldiers.
Banderru and Lanaya had just arrived at the place where the fish people were, and the fish people were gone.
Lanaya looked at her chest again, the armor-piercing mark was gone, and she whispered to Banderul, "Let's go back to the palace and find the first." ”
Banderru looked at these murderous battery squid fishmen, and since the two of them were not fishmen, they felt that if they stayed here, they would definitely end up miserable, so he nodded and said, "I think so too." ”
"Can you kill it if you find it?" asked Lanaya. She thought that there might be some kind of friendship between Banderru and that person, because sometimes, after being a rival for a long time, there would be some feelings.
"Of course, killing is the best outcome!" said Banderru with great firmness.
