Chapter 354 Intruder
...
The next day, Noah was on the tree boat.
The most elite warriors were summoned to Senia. They were all famous and surnamed strong men in various families. When Noah separated from the World Island, they were the ones who blocked the imperial people outside the tree boat.
Senia changed into a white priest's robe and slowly climbed to the treetop.
"I believe you should have heard of yesterday's incident. As you have guessed, the enemy smelled blood, and the blood came from the islanders with the same blood as us."
"Sure enough, what I thought of at first was to avoid the edge and wait until the crisis passed before coming back - or in other words, we have been like this for the past decade, retreating from the ocean to the world island, and then retreating from the world island to the farther ocean, and escaping has gradually become a matter of course."
"But this time, Jinxia City is standing behind us. This is a land that is not sunk. Even if the tree boats are burned by the fire of war, we will not be homeless, so I don't want to take everyone to continue to escape. Not only that, I also want to pull those tribe members who fell into the hands of the empire and take them out of the abyss before they become slaves!"
"For this, I need the help of all the warriors. Use this green shuttle to find the traces of the tree boat and the enemy."
Senia folded her hands on her chest, "No doubt this is an extremely dangerous investigation. The person who goes to the scene is likely to be buried in the sea, so I will not order you as an elder or a high priest, but as an islander, I will ask you for hope for the trapped people in another tree boat."
"If you are willing to go, please stand in front!"
As soon as she finished speaking, someone took steps.
"I, the eldest son of the Xinde family, are willing to go!"
"Sir, please count me."
"We have lost many times, but we have not surrendered once!"
"Sir, please tell me, how many people are needed? I see that there is not a coward in these hundred people."
Seeing this scene, even Senia was a little moved. In the continuous defeats, many people did lose the courage to fight the empire, but the spirit of resistance was still not completely cut off. Some people still dared to stand up and face the enemy's artillery and blades.
"I only have ten people." She said with relief, "Everyone will arrange it in order."
"Is it too few to choose only ten...?"
"Your purpose is not to kill the enemy, but to find the tree boat. If you have too many, it will easily expose yourself. In addition, the selected person has another task, which is to protect the safety of these two people along the way." Senia pointed to the two young elves behind him, "Heim Shaman and Tyre."
"Sir, why do you want them to go with you?" The eldest son of the Xinde family asked in confusion. "These two little guys have not only never participated in the battle, but have not even killed a few fish?"
"It is true, but they are the key to the investigation." Senia nodded, "Only those who have taken classes with Miss Mo Yun can use Jinxia's special contact magic weapon."
"There are such strange requests?"
"If you understand the principle of electromagnetic transformation, you may have the opportunity to drive it." Perhaps because he felt that he was underestimated, Tyr couldn't help but interrupt, "Sister Mo Yun said that in the future, you can't win by relying solely on brute force. The winning side will definitely belong to those with extensive knowledge!"
The other party smiled and shook his head, "You can stop vomiting after getting on the boat later."
Senia once again solemnly instructed, "The hope of that tree boat is placed on you. Please be sure to hide yourself, send back the news, and wait for Jinxia's next action."
...
"Lord, the rope is tied up, please be careful." Captain Feilin Carter stabilized the boat.
Tular crossed the boat's side and stepped on a trestle made of vines. Hundreds of steps away, countless trunks rose flat on the ground and gathered into a undulating dense forest. Below them is the ground composed of interlaced roots and vines. Although he had seen the wonders of a tree boat when conquering the World Island, stepping on a tree boat himself was a completely different experience.
Even though the sound of waves slamming was still in my ears, there was no swaying feeling under my feet, as if he was stepping on land. A little further behind me, you could see the flagship Invincible, the Midnight Horn, and the Angela.
These three warships are all the main navy ships. They should be giants at any city dock, but they seem a little small compared to the tree boat in front of them.
Tular corrected his woolen triangle hat, "Are the islanders still resisting?"
"According to the news sent back by various departments, there are sporadic resistances in residential areas and at the bottom of the tree boat, but the surrounding area of the tree spirit has been controlled by our army." Feilin replied, "After all, this thing is too big."
"It's okay, on the way back, I have plenty of time to teach them how to obey." He looked at the mage who followed him, "By the way, Miss Songxing, what do you think you need?
"It's not me, it's my mentor. He needs ten seeds of tree spirits, two barks, a rhizome, and two elves that can control the growth of seeds." The female mage replied expressionlessly.
"I remember he is a master of the spells and changes? Can the wizard tower really find a way to replace the elves?"
"The research progress is the secret of the mage, please forgive me for not giving me any advice."
"Haha, we are all for His Majesty the King, why should we be so disgusted?" Tular waved his hand indifferently, "Well, let's do the important business first. Mr. Carter, please take us to the core of the tree boat - the place where the tree spirit is located."
"Please come with me, two."
The group passed through the dock and entered the main part of the tree boat. Along the way, they could see islanders tied into strings of ropes everywhere, and soldiers efficiently marked them. By stabbing a string of metal earrings with marks and could not be disassembled after being closed, the troops could quickly calculate how many elves had been captured in total.
Of course, these earrings are obviously more than one circle thicker than decorations, and the workmanship is quite rough, and they will inevitably cause a lot of pain when piercing. Therefore, the crying and sobs have never calmed down.
But in Tular's eyes, this is undoubtedly an improvement.
Compared to the soldering irons that were both troublesome and easily infected in the past, the numbered earrings are naturally much faster and more effective. The empire has developed rapidly recently, and even such small places can reflect the innovation of civilization.
And World Island is obviously a negative case.
He had such a huge tree boat, but had no choice but to use his warship. After three days and three nights of pursuit and a whole day of boarding and fighting, the tree boat fell into his control.
Unfortunately, during the pursuit, many islanders used the cover of night to escape from the tree boats on various strange ships. It was obvious that his army could not do such trivial matters as pursuing the escapees, so they could only leave it to the pirates who cooperated with him to be responsible for the capture. The problem is that the hands of the pirates are much dirty than those of the army, and it is unknown how many people can be brought back alive in the end.
The losses of every slave are to damage the interests of the empire. If it were not too short of manpower, Tular would also want to send the pirates to the guillotine.
But now, he could only temporarily endure these unhappiness and enjoy the sweetness of victory first.
Capturing a complete tree boat, plus the large number of elves on the tree boat, this achievement was enough to win him personal commendation from His Majesty the King.
