lizard lord

Chapter 187 Storm Center
Ning Fu kept silent about the reason why the mermaid came here, as if she didn't want to say more, and Tang Zhao and others didn't force her. Anyway, it's still a long time, and sooner or later she will know what she should know.

In short, they were caught by the sahuagin on the way, and they couldn't understand the language of the sahuagin when they communicated, but they can probably guess that they wanted to use them as sacrifices to call for sacrifices. Demons and the like, otherwise they would never have survived.

[I think, first of all, we should clarify some things. Now, can I think that the demons are colluding with the sahuagin, and there are more sahuagins lurking near the sea. 】

"You can think of it this way, no problem." Ning Fu answered crisply without any hesitation.

[After we go back, we can consider the preparations for the army. How many sailors can be drawn near Yintao City? 】

Tang Zhao didn't shy away from Ning Fu when he spoke. Before the matter was resolved, he didn't intend to let her go away at will, so it didn't matter if they found out, and it had no effect on the situation.

"The people of Oran do not rely on seawater to survive, and the development of the navy is relatively weak. In addition to our more than ten warships, the governor of Yintao City also has a similar number of warships. Originally, Earl Stirling should There are also fifty or sixty warships, but you know something has happened. In short, the coastal defense of Yintao City is very poor now, and it can only deal with rogues and small pirates, but cannot deal with a large number of sahuagin."

If it's a city defense battle, you can recruit a large number of militiamen to win by quantity, but you really can't do this in a naval battle. Only elite sailors can barely deal with the sahuagin. Ordinary merchant ships and sailors will die even if they go up. Meaningless.

[The royal family of Oran should have a water breeder, go ask them for help first, write a letter of appeal for help or something. 】

"Unfortunately, His Majesty the King doesn't pay much attention to coastal defense. When the navy is needed, he will send people to recruit Laurent's navy. It is a commercial city attached to Oran. They have a large number of warships and sailors. I I will write to ask His Majesty to inform them, but this is very inefficient, so be prepared for them to be late."

[I understand, far water can’t solve the near fire. I have some business contacts with the Castel family. Since they have taken over the Sterling family’s navy, they should still have a certain fighting power. Regarding the devil , they are happy to help. 】

"Need not!"

As soon as the commander opened his mouth to speak, Ning Fu denied it first, causing both of them to look at her. The commander was puzzled, while Tang Zhao implied deep meaning.

Realizing that she had said something wrong, Ning Fu didn't explain the reason, but looked at Tang Zhao and Commander with calm and pleading eyes, but the resistance of both of them was basically at full level, this kind of eye attack was effective little.

[Based on your status, you are now the object of rescue.Mermaids don’t have the right to order the Church of Heim to do things, and they also don’t have the right to order Karak Solma to do things. It’s okay to do what you want us to do or not to do, but we all want to see reasons and arguments, otherwise We won't take it. 】

In fact, now that these mermaids are handed over to the Castell family, Tang Zhao feels that he can complete the task. The Marquis of Castell will probably get the information he needs, but now Tang Zhao is not in a hurry, because his intuition tells him that the following Things are more important than some gold coins.

She looked at Tang Zhao without fear for a few seconds, and in the end, Ningfu gave in first, and sighed quietly: "Well, the reason I came here has something to do with the Sterling family, to be precise, it is Barnard- For the Sterling branch, we mermaids are old friends with this Sterling family. For the rest, I'm sorry I can't reveal too much. Because I don't know your position, and if you say too much, it may hurt my friend us."

Barnard-Sterling is the current Earl of Stirling family. It was originally a marginalized branch of the huge family that was not valued very much. Now it has been selected as the main family and inherited the most affluent territory of the Stirling family.

Tang Zhao has done his homework and knows that Barnard's family used to be the mayor of the coastal town, and his reputation has always been good, so he was chosen as the heir. There is no flaw in logic, and the commander did not refute aloud, which is regarded as acquiescing to what the other party said.

Since the other party came for the sake of the Sterling family, the purpose is worthy of scrutiny, but Tang Zhao was not stupid enough to ask directly, but just nodded lightly.

It is clear that they do not trust them very much, but fortunately there is still time in the future. Tang Zhao will not do such a worthless thing as kidnapping, but the time for "treating the wounded" is a little longer, which is still within the acceptable limit of everyone. They were all rescued. Without Tang Zhao, these people would probably die in the end. Tang Zhao has no psychological burden.

【Well then, let’s not disturb the members of the Castei family for the time being. Counting the time, more lizardman warriors will arrive soon, barely filling the gap.Of course I make no promises, everything depends on the situation. 】

The territory of the Castei family is only a few tens of miles away from Yintao City, and even the port is less than two hundred miles away. If necessary, it can be deployed in two or three days. When involved, it is also very simple.It can not only infiltrate Yintao City, but also earn a good reputation. Anyway, those sailors and warships are not paid for by them to train and train, and they don’t need them at all at ordinary times. They don’t feel bad when they die, and the probability of rejection is almost zero.

Ningfu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your understanding. After the matter calms down, you will all receive compensation from the Mermaid Kingdom."

Tang Zhao chatted with the commander for a while, the main content was conscription and preparation for war. Tang Zhao had only three to 200 people under his command, and couldn't do any big things, so he didn't know much about it. He confirmed that the commander would notify the city official and Sri Lanka at the same time. After Earl Tring, he didn't talk to the other party again, and the commander was very interesting, so he found an excuse to go outside the cabin to observe the sea conditions.

In the room, only Tang Zhao, Ning Fu and two elf druids who were applying medicine to Tang Zhao were left.

【To confirm first, can the mermaid change the tail of a fish into legs like a human, and then move on the shore?I don't recommend that you stay temporarily at the mouth of the Dewar River. There are many people there, and more importantly, there are traces of demons and sahuagin activities, so you probably want to go ashore with us. 】

Ning Fu's voice was slightly sarcastic: "When it's really dangerous, can it be safe on the shore?"

[It is next to the military camp, with well-developed transportation and good defense. After my observation, it is definitely the top five safest places in Yintao City, and you seem to have no right to choose.There are not many places that are willing to treat mermaids without paying attention. It seems that there is only one in Yintao City. 】

From the point of view of the rescued.Ning Fu's tone of voice was not very pleasant, and most people would probably be upset or even angry if it was the case, but Tang Zhao felt fine. He knew that creatures like mermaids were very xenophobic, and he also knew that creatures would use more aggressive expressions when they were panicked. Intense performance to disguise and protect oneself.

However, the two elf druids behind him couldn't listen any longer. Seeing Ning Fu's expression was a bit unfriendly, Tang Zhao's wounds made by the sahuagin and Berserker were still oozing blood slowly, not to mention Many elves also received the favor of Tang Zhao, who provided protection and food. Even Karak Solma also assisted the elves with a lot of strategic materials. The elves have always valued friendship and protected their weaknesses. Of course, they would feel very uncomfortable.

Ning Fu looked at Tang Zhao's wounds and ointments all over her body, and knew that her tone of voice was inappropriate: "I'm sorry for my words and deeds. I have no right to satirize a bloody warrior. The things I have experienced recently are really rich. Also please forgive me.

All adult mermaids have this ability. The mermaids you just saw are all adults, so don't worry too much about it.It's just that we are all aquatic species after all, and we need to soak in water every day or two, otherwise there will be health problems and even life crises. I hope you can satisfy us with this little matter. "

[Don't worry, we will try our best to satisfy reasonable demands, after all, you need to stay in Yintao City for a while. 】

Halfway through the conversation, Tang Zhao thought of something again, and asked the Druid to bring a sealed bottle of unknown liquid to Ning Fu.

[After their inspection, you all have varying degrees of demonic erosion on your body. It should be that the sahuagin have tampered with the food. If you leave it alone, although there is a high probability that you will not die in the end, it will be very troublesome for the priest to heal , may require a bishop-level priest to take action, so I still suggest that you nip the danger in its infancy,]

"How much should I drink?"

[About half a bottle, you can just drink it as you see fit, we have enough potion, I swear in the name of the great dragon god, this thing is harmless to people, if you drink too much it will definitely be fine, if you drink too little it may cause incomplete treatment , so drink as much as you can. 】

In fact, this is the experimental product after improvement. The main material is Tang Zhao's blood. Combined with some conventional medicines, his blood has the effect of "breaking evil". Before it is officially promoted and used, someone should be the first to eat crabs.

Ning Fu didn't say much. After nodding to thank the druid, she reached out to take the medicine bottle, raised her head and drank the medicine in one gulp. It seemed that she was really afraid of being corrupted by demons.

[Finally, just to confirm, do you know that there are a large number of Berserkers lurking in Yintao City right now? 】

Ning Fu's eyes widened all of a sudden: "What?! How could I know this kind of thing, aren't we going to Yintao City now and sailing into the center of the storm!"

[Probably about the same, otherwise we have nowhere to go, or do you want to go to the Yongwang Mountains in the deepest part of the mainland?It is indeed safe there, but it is farther away from the sea, probably thousands of kilometers away. 】

Ning Fu didn't refute this time, but just sighed again: "Then, I hope everyone can return home safely, just don't sail to the other shore (underworld)."

[Do your best to obey the destiny, what to do, what will happen, it's not time to think about the result. 】
-
The Church of Haim left a warship to Tang Zhao, and the commander left with his own people. It took Tang Zhao some time to prepare the carriage and human clothes.

The mermaid's original clothes are not restricted products, but they are indeed very eye-catching in a human harbor. There are a lot of secret sentries lurking in Yintao City, some of which belong to the Sterling family, but most of them belong to other families. Zhao didn't want the news of the mermaid to leak out, it's hard to explain to others, it would be safer to change into human clothes.

The mermaids hid in the freight wagons in batches, and then covered them with shark carcasses and sahuagin trophies. It was impossible to tell from the outside, and others only thought it was the captured trophies wagons. Although it attracted a lot of attention, it seemed that no one was there. It is suspected that there are several big living people hidden behind the large amount of loot.

The carriage entered the courtyard smoothly, and several mermaids got out of the carriage. Tang Zhao was a little interested and took a look at their appearance.

The transformation magic of the legs is in place, it looks like a normal human, and the fins on the elbows are also retracted. The only fly in the ointment is that there are still a small amount of fish scales on their bodies, which are caught in the skin of the arms and shoulders. If it is hidden, it looks very conspicuous.

[Fortunately, there is a way to cover it up, or change the way of thinking.It seems that it is not impossible to let them play dragon-human hybrids as a cameo.]

Tang Zhao quickly pulled back his thoughts and looked at the group of mermaids looking around.

It is also the first time for them to come to a big human city, and they are very curious about the things around them, which is natural.

[You guys rest in the courtyard for a while, and I will prepare related things as soon as possible, such as pools and the like.Rest in peace of mind, if you have any questions, I will ask you to answer them.In addition, I know that you are very curious about some things in Yintao City, but it is a pity that it is an eventful time and your identities are relatively sensitive. I will try my best to provide you with opportunities to go out, but it depends on the situation. 】

Tang Zhao was still very talkative, and tried to provide a good environment for the mermaids. The mermaids also nodded consciously, and then let Ning Fu take them with them. Everyone thanked Tang Zhao. After all, Tang Zhao was a lifesaver, and he accepted it with peace of mind.

The following period of time is mainly waiting, one is waiting for the arrival of the grain transport ship, and the other is waiting for the situation to change further.

The commander's war preparation plan did not go well. Both the mayor and the Sterling family had concerns, and only dared to carry out small-scale war preparations. For this reason, the Heim church asked Tang Zhao to borrow a few pigeons and let them go Send a letter to pull reinforcements.

Tang Zhao was seriously injured now, and he had to hurry up to recover. He didn't dare to continue drilling into the sewer, but stayed quietly in the courtyard, occasionally going out with the team to investigate the situation.

After waiting so unhurriedly for a few days, Tang Zhao finally waited for the grain transport ship. The fleet is not small, consisting of six medium and large merchant ships. In addition to a large amount of grain, there are more than 200 sailors. More importantly, there are Andrea and several of her right-hand assistants.

I made a mistake in my judgment before, I didn’t expect that there would be so many things in Yintao City, and I had to take into account the defense of the settlement, so I didn’t bring anyone who could handle the matter, which made Tang Zhao have to handle everything by himself, without the past The sense of freedom of the dispensers.

Now, the familiar feeling can come back.
