Sun Xiang sat at the conference table with Jimmy Tang and a few other guys with a high smile, and opposite them were four upright penguins.

Why look for a guy with a high laughing point, because there are very few people who don't laugh in front of four serious birds. After all, this is a serious meeting, involving the traditional friendship between humans and penguins, so you should try to hold back your laughter.

As the captain of the four penguins, the dragon penguin told Sun Xiang about the cause and effect of the incident.

It turned out that a few days ago, a flock of skuas had found an opportunity and stole the eggs of His Majesty the Emperor of the Penguin Empire. In this egg, there is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has not broken the shell, that is, the heir of the entire empire!

This is not a trivial matter, because not only is this a very sad matter for His Majesty the Emperor, but the news of the abduction of the crown prince will inevitably cause turmoil in the empire once it spreads. Those careerists who are no longer willing to be lonely may take this as an opportunity to make dangerous moves.

So the palace blocked the news on the one hand, and sent an elite team to rescue the prince's egg. This egg was laid by His Majesty the Emperor himself, so it has a magical feature, and the prince's egg will not be broken by external forces until the shell is broken.

So the egg must still be intact in the skua nest. But he couldn't wait any longer, because there were only ten days left before the prince broke his shell.

Once the prince breaks the shell and leaves the eggshell that protects it, he will be eaten by the skua swarm. The emperor's blood contained an astonishing power, and the skua coveted the prince's flesh.

Originally, His Majesty the Emperor could have mobilized more troops, but in order to avoid the leakage of information, the dragon had to carry out a dangerous rescue mission with only an elite force of less than a hundred geese.

After a lot of hardship, the rescue team arrived at the skua nest on the fifth day, five days before the prince broke the shell.

But waiting for the dragon penguin is a big trouble.

The nest of a flock of skuas, built on an almost vertical steep cliff. Penguins are good at running and swimming, but they can't climb because their bellies are too big.

And skuas completely dominate in such terrain, because they can fly.

The dragon penguin is not afraid of death and leads the troops to forcibly climb the cliff. But their actions were soon discovered by the skuas.

The skuas swooped down on them from the top down, and the penguins struggled with their fins lying on the cliff and had no way to fight back, and in the end they were either killed by the skua or fell off the cliff to their deaths.

The elite troops of more than 100 geese were stunned, but not a single one climbed into the nest of the skua gulls. Even the last to escape were only four penguins such as the dragon and the tiger.

The mission failed, and the four geese were like ashes. The crown prince is about to break his shell, and it is too late for them to return to the palace to move the rescue soldiers.

In desperation, they were riding on the ice floe when they saw the Queen, which happened to be passing by. What's more, I saw Ji Yuan being hoisted high on the Queen.

This gave the dragon penguins a glimmer of hope.

The biggest difficulty in this rescue operation was to climb the almost vertical steep cliff.

The rescue force was lost under this cliff.

But there are cranes on the Queen that can lift them up. The crane was originally located at the stern of the HMS Queen and was used to deploy the helicopters in the hangar.

When Sun Xiang found the Queen in the belly of the troll, the hangar was empty and the helicopter was nowhere to be found. Therefore, in addition to transporting goods, this crane can only be used to hang a hanging.

But in fact this crane is useful, because its boom can reach almost a hundred meters high. The dragon penguin estimated that it was almost as tall as the old nest of the skua.

So the dragon penguin and his three men planned to forcibly requisition this big human ship. In normal times, he might have made a formal request, but because the date of the prince's breaking of the shell was approaching, he was in a hurry. The dragon penguins, who were loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, ignored so many rules and directly planned this ship-snatching operation.

Of course, because Sun Xiang was strong, he broke their plan. Now the dragon also has to sit down at the negotiating table and ask the humans to lend them the queen on a mission.

The whole story is a classical tragedy full of romanticism: the empire is in danger, the crown prince is hijacked, and the loyal courtiers risk their lives to rescue them, and finally they are outnumbered and in a desperate situation.

If the protagonists of this epic tragedy were not penguins, perhaps humans would be moved to tears, but now I want to laugh.

Jimmy Soup's laugh is relatively high, which is why he is sitting here. No longer dwelling on being knocked unconscious by the penguins, he asked a question in a deep voice at the negotiating table.

"Even if we send you to the nest of the skua with a crane, you four geese can deal with them?"

On the way back, everyone was attacked by demonized skuas many times, and Jimmy Tang hated this cunning bird monster. Many times, the fleet had to rely on a lot of automatic fire to drive out the flocks of skuas. Jimmy Soup doesn't think the four cute penguins can do anything.

In fact, when Sun Xiang was fighting with the dragon and the tiger, Jimmy Tang was in a coma and did not see the penguins. If he sees it, maybe he will develop some respect for the penguin.

The dragon penguin proudly raised its beak, revealing the orange feathers on its neck: "Those despicable snitches, as long as they can't fly, Lao Tzu can fight a hundred!"

Penguins are often harassed by skuas, both on land and in the water. But skuas can fly, making penguins unguarded. Because penguins no longer have wings, their wings have degenerated into flippers, and even if they try to flutter, they can jump up to half a meter high.

After explaining the cause and effect of the incident, the dragon penguin waited for the human's reply, he was anxious, but he couldn't rush too much. Because of the battle just now, he understood that with the strength of the four geese under his command, he couldn't pass the level of this human named Sun Xiang at all.

Sun Xiang thought about it for a moment and rejected the penguins' request.

The reason is simple, the nest of the skua is in the other direction. According to the description of the dragon, even if everything went well, the queen would be delayed for at least three days.

Sun Xiang didn't want to delay any time, and there were still people waiting for him in Binhai. He doesn't mind doing this little favor if it's on the way, but the detour can be bothersome.

And everything is a penguin's words, God knows what will happen if he goes along, he doesn't want to get caught up in the civil war of that "great" penguin empire.

Sun Xiang made his attitude clear, telling the penguins that the Queen was in a hurry and would cross the North-Zemlya Strait and enter the Laptev Sea in two days. The skua gulls' nests deviated too far from this course, and the Queen would not have made such a detour for a few strange geese. Besides, the behavior of these strange geese who had just stolen the boat was far from friendly.

But out of the traditional friendship between humans and penguins, the Queen will provide the four penguins with a batch of guns and ammunition, and even send them a few more mortars and guns if they can carry them. Perhaps the penguins could try to attack the nests of the skua with mortars, mortars, and cannons.

The dragon penguin was disappointed by Sun Xiang's refusal, but the tiger penguin, who had been silent, found a turning point for victory from Sun Xiang's words.

"You want to sail through the North-Zemya Strait?" he said with a long beak of fresh orange and laughed, "You can't get by!"

"Why?" Sun Xiang asked rhetorically.

At this time, the dragon penguin also reacted, he folded his two fins on his chest, leaned back in his chair, and looked like he had won the battle.

"Because. He replied, "The North-Zemlya Strait has been sealed off by ice floes, unless you carry your ship over." ”

Sun Xiang glanced at Jimmy Tang in disbelief, and he saw the same worry in the eyes of the first mate. Although the penguins' exaggeration to block the route may be an exaggeration by the penguins, it is an indisputable fact that there have been more and more ice floes during the voyage in the past few days.

Therefore, it is very likely that the Northland Strait has now been blocked by ice floes and cannot be navigated, and the penguins' words are very credible.

Sun Xiang pondered for a while, and deliberately excitedly said: "Even if the Northland Strait is really frozen, I don't think we have to help you with this, it's a big deal, let's take a detour to the Arctic Ocean." ”

"No, you'll definitely help. The dragon chirped a few times, "Our clan has a secret route in the ice floes, which can pass through this ship. Of course, in exchange, I think you humans should know how to do it. ”
