The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1257 It takes a little effort to get it
Visibility at night is not very good, even a monk's eyes can hardly see far away on a starless night, not to mention that it is still raining heavily, and the heavy rain makes it more difficult to see far away.

But although he couldn't see the fleet Saili mentioned clearly, Lin Tianci could see the orange flash rising from the direction Saili mentioned, like a fireball flying from the sea.

They flew into the sky one after another, as if passing through the clouds, and finally descended from the sky in a curve with lightning.

It's certainly not natural, it feels more like some sort of siege weapon fired from a ship.

"Is it true that other countries sent troops to grab the fragments?"

"As far as I know, it should be impossible...but our blue goblin's information is still 2000 years ago, and it was brought back by the previous generation of blue goblins. I'm not sure what happened in these 2000 years. .”

Sai Li was also a little puzzled. It stands to reason that such direct conflicts should not occur between countries on this plane.

Lin Tianci glanced into the distance, and did not continue to delve into this issue, but flew directly down from the hillside, falling into the small town as if gliding.

Local customs and customs, etc., can be researched as much as you want when you are free, so let’s make sure of the fragments first.

The fireball that fell from the sky ignited the roof, which was mainly a mixture of thatch and plaster, but due to the heavy rain, the fire was only limited to the area where the incendiary bomb fell. At least the flame would not be extinguished by the rain until the fuel was exhausted.

So the fire is really not that big. Considering the town's completely unplanned building structure, if it was attacked by incendiary bombs in a dry environment, it may have burned into a large area by now.

However, the attack itself made the common people, who had adapted to a comfortable life, panic, and ran out of their homes one after another, trying to escape outside the town to escape.

But it was because the planning was too fucked up. Except for the two main roads in the whole town that people can pass through quickly, the rest are small alleys that can only accommodate one or two people walking sideways. The efficiency of evacuation due to crowding is very low.

In case a very unlucky incendiary bomb hits at this time...

That scene was simply a human tragedy.

People who have been at peace for too long have completely different reactions and strategies in the face of danger than those who are always in crisis.

Although living in a peaceful age is indeed reassuring, there is still some truth in the old Chinese saying "born in sorrow and died in peace".

Like Serviala, where either neighboring countries came to attack or a beast horde appeared to attack the city, the residents would never panic to the point of congesting traffic. The scale is astonishingly large, and there will be no painting style where everyone flees to the center of the mainland.

And because the countries on this plane have signed an agreement, the army and defense work are all handed over to the wave guards of the joint component. In a clean and clean war, not only will no knife or gun be used, it is not even considered a war.Therefore, the local people have not experienced a real war for thousands of years. It is conceivable that the local people's reactions to emergencies are fundamentally different.

Since the ground was already blocked by terrified crowds, and the fastest way to get to the pier was to go directly through the town, Lin Tianci had to jump on the roof, and from time to time, he had to watch out for big fireballs hitting his head .

This did slow him down, but compared to these effects, the impact of the environment or the atmosphere is more uncomfortable.

Shouts of terror and cries of children, mixed with the torrential rain, made one's scalp numb.

The smell of gunpowder smoke, the burnt smell coming from nowhere, and even a hint of the aroma of barbecue mixed with it, like maggots on tarsus bones, entangled everyone in the town bit by bit, further intensifying the panic.

Regardless of the form, as long as it is war, it must be terrifying, and it is the embodiment of the "evil" of human beings.

Lin Tianci jumped on the roof, and occasionally used ice wall or air shield to help block the direct hit of incendiary bombs, but his personal strength was too small, and it was almost useless to the overall situation.

He himself understands this, but just out of kindness, he gives a little help at random, and he still keeps heading to the port.

After a while, after he passed through the intricate town and the frightened crowd, the first thing he saw was a sea of ​​flames.

There were a large number of ships docked in the wide port, but these ships were all made of wood. Even if they had been treated with some fire protection, they would still burn if they were hit by incendiary bombs.

Moreover, the ships were relatively close, and even with heavy rain, the fire still began to spread gradually.

The lighthouse standing on the shore in the distance has now become a literal torch, and the flames of Datan flowed down the wall like a flowing liquid, crooked and collapsed under Lin Tianci's gaze.

"Fuck... how do you find fragments here?"

Now that it is known that the debris is in the cargo ship docked at the port, and the cargo ship will set sail at dawn.

All he had to do was to check the cargo ships in the port before dawn. It was a simple carpet search. It was a bit troublesome, but it took a lot of time.

This is great, I can see that many cargo ships have been set on fire, if the debris sinks to the bottom of the sea...

Even if it sank in the port, it is not something that can be solved in a day or two if you want to fish it out.

Lin Tianci stretched his neck and looked around near the port. At this moment, the black smoke from the burning ship suddenly surged up, and a large black-sailed ship passed through the burning sea.

It should have undergone special fire protection treatment. The ship itself is different from a merchant ship. It looks higher and bigger.

The port has already been burnt down like this, and the merchant ships floating on the nearby sea should not foolishly bump into the flames and come ashore.

The ship seemed to have undergone special fire protection treatment. Although it still looked like a wooden structure, the fire light looked more like metal and reflected light.

Its bow is inlaid with a figure of a woman holding a huge shell. When the flames approached and tried to lick the hull, the figure immediately burst into a layer of blue magical aura, separating the flames from the ship.

"Hide first and check the situation, something is wrong with this ship."

Sai Li also discovered the problem. Lin Tianci rushed into a pile of cargo boxes on the other side of the port, and watched the ships approaching the shore through the gap.

Due to the relatively short distance, the flames also largely illuminated the sea area near it. From the gap, Lin Tianci could see not only the black sails of the ship gradually furling, but also a side hanging from the top of the mast. It looks like a skull flag...

"Couldn't this be a pirate ship?"

"It looks very similar. I looked through the information, and it should have been mentioned in the information brought back by the previous blue goblin."

Speaking of the sound of paper flipping from the other side of the brooch, Lin Tianci kept staring at the approaching ship.

Not long after, the suspected pirate ship docked at a pier with a relatively small fire nearby. As soon as it anchored, a large group of men with scimitars pinned to their waists jumped off the side of the ship, and the number soon exceeded dozens of people.

One of the chubby guys with a face full of flesh and looking like meat and eggs waved the scimitar in his hand and drank:

"Hurry up, you are not allowed to play with women this time, we have a big deal, whoever dares to make mistakes, I will throw him to the sharks!"

This person seems to be a leader, his words quickly attracted a group of pirates, and the group quickly dispersed on the port. They should have formed a team in advance, and there was almost no confusion. There were about five or six people in groups. .Some stormed into the town, while others scoured the port.

Almost at the same time as they acted, two more pirate ships of almost the same size approached the shore, and many pirates jumped from them, repeating the same actions as those who got off the first ship.

"It seems that they are indeed pirates. Pirates in the plane of Lemuria have high combat effectiveness. However, due to the relationship with the wave guards, it is still rare for pirates to directly attack cities on land. Basically, it is with these guys in the open sea. Contact."

Lin Tianci's heart moved, and he said immediately:

"Isn't it related to the military expenses owed to the Wave Guard by this country?"

I just heard the conversation of the two nobles in the palace that they were in arrears with the military expenses that should be paid for many years. After enjoying the protection of the wave guards, they still didn't pay the money. Of course, they were not happy.

Perhaps because of this, the wave guard deliberately turned a blind eye to this wave of pirates.

"There is a possibility. After all, the wave guards are also composed of people sent by various countries. It is impossible for them to be as fair and conscientious as the ancient elves."

The ancient elves are a society with strict laws, and they always look at problems from the perspective of a third party. If they are asked to help adjudicate disputes between human city-states, both parties will definitely be convinced.

However, when the ancient elves become ancient, and the locals plan to recreate an organization similar to the United Nations to protect themselves and adjudicate disputes, it is inevitable that they will bring private goods.

When the two were talking quietly, the pirates on the pier had almost dispersed. Lin Tianci quietly poked his head out from behind the cargo box, feeling that things had become much more troublesome.

If the fragments are stolen by pirates, Lin Tianci would need to fly with his sword to find the pirates' hometown that the locals can't find if he wants to get it back. Going and going without a trace, thinking about it makes Lao Kuo feel pain.

There is no doubt that, considering the preciousness of gemstones in this plane, fragments of excellent quality will definitely be regarded as priceless treasures in the literal sense.

For the present plan, the best solution is to get Lin Tianci the first step before the pirates look for the fragments, but...

He doesn't know the location.

He found a roof that should be a warehouse and jumped on it. Looking around, Lin Tianci found that about three streets away from him, there seemed to be the sound of weapons colliding, like pirates and guards maintaining public order... …
