Chapter Two Hundred and Fifteen The Crown of Two Suns
Five days? Only five days? Within five days, form an elite legion that can raid lightning?
Even though they were ready to pay a heavy price, at this moment, hearing such unquestionable strict orders from the Duke, the Blood Blade Shadow Guard and the Black Robe Summoner present looked at each other, vaguely feeling that this order was almost crazy.
Yes, forming a legion within five days to complete the raid means urgently transferring the elite soldiers on the front line back. However, over the past few months, the Duke has been constantly in conflict with the lords in the middle of the sea, and war may break out at any time. In this case, the army will be drawn back, and once the lords detect the emptiness and flaws...
"So, we should move quickly." Duke Xuesai narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered gloomyly, "Use the fastest speed to deal with the yellow-skinned monkey and the lower creatures, and then transport the army back to the front line. Don't tell me, you think that the elite army that I have trained for many years cannot quickly deal with the lower creatures."
"Of course...of course not." Under his threatening cold eyes, everyone raised their chests with cold sweat. The black-robed summoning mage who was pinching his throat tightly, endured the severe pain and breathed rapidly, "Sir, I have one, I have a suggestion. Maybe in addition to transferring the army, we also consider hiring..."
"Do you mean, mercenaries?" Duke Xuesai looked at him coldly. After thinking for a while, he suddenly showed an admiring smile and let go of his palms slightly. "It seems that this seems to be a good suggestion. A powerful mercenary can indeed help us improve our efficiency... So, what good recommendations do you have?"
"Yes, yes." Finally getting rid of that suffocation, the black-robed summoning mage couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly squeezed out a little bit of a smile. "In fact, a mercenary group has been quite famous recently, completing several difficult employment tasks. The only problem is that they have a relatively high asking price and a rather weird temper."
"Very good, I'll choose them!" Duke Xuesai nodded with satisfaction, but suddenly exerted force without warning. He pinched the black-robed summoner's throat again and lifted him off the ground. "So, my smart subordinate, do you have any suggestions?"
No more, no more, I just felt the joints of my throat clattering. The black robe summoning mage with a red face shook his head desperately. The Blood Blade Shadow Guard and the Demon Wolf Knights present even trembled and raised their chests, indicating that they would do their best to fulfill the orders of the adults.
"Very good. Remember your promise." Duke Xuesas slowly turned his head, but narrowed his eyes as if nothing had happened, looking at the black-robed summoner hanging in his left palm, his whole body was close to the red and roasted summoner. "Of course, if you really can't do it, I will never blame you, I will only..."
Silently. There was no fire or cracking sound. The black-robed summoner who was struggling in his left palm suddenly showed a strange smile like relief. Then he instantly turned into countless black smoke and dust, dissipated without a trace with the wind. Only a white bone bead condensed from bones fell gently on the dock, making a creepy sound.
In an instant, all the black-robed summoners of the Blood Blade Shadow Guards armed soldiers were driven away by whips, and hurriedly jumped onto the deck and rushed into the warship. After a few minutes, more than a dozen warships raised their sails at high speed. On the broken dock where the tide was gradually submerged, the short figure of the Duke of Bloodsay remained motionless. For a moment, the dark shadows he cast on the ground seemed to be slowly squirming, twisting and deforming... Is that, an illusion?
"Is it an illusion?" Almost at the same time, in the clouds hundreds of miles away, Angelina hugged Lin Taiping's waist tightly, feeling the whistling wind in her ears, while trembling with uncertainty, "Little Linzi, why did I just feel that I was possessed by our dark Siren's Queen Yingling?"
"You guessed it!" Lin Taiping hugged Miranda's tail screen tightly and replied happily, "In fact, you can call it the heroic spirit summon. A long time ago, I used this heroic spirit summoning technique to turn a beautiful tauren girl into the Virgin Joan of Arc, and this time it changed from a single heroic spirit summoning to a group heroic spirit summoning. Do you understand?"
Only then did he know what he was talking about. Angelina shook her fish tail dizzyly, but the problem was that when she wagged her tail, the giant teeth below almost thrilled: "Damn it, don't shake it, don't shake it, I'm a little afraid of heights... Wait, why do I feel that we are slowing down?"
"You guessed it right again!" Lin Taiping sighed with emotion and explained seriously, "Although the group heroic spirit summoning technique is very powerful, it can only last for only five minutes. Considering that Miranda has transformed for more than four minutes, I personally think that it is best for us to make a forcibly landing now..."
Before he could finish his words, Miranda, who was about to be disembarked, suddenly stagnated in the void and swooped down like a meteorite. Angelina and Giant Ya opened their eyes in amazement, watching the surging sea surface getting closer, getting closer, getting closer, and getting more and more... Boom!
Two minutes later, on a protruding reef nearby, Angelina panted and held up the fish tail, dragging all three wet and unlucky guys up. Lin Taiping spitted out a large ball of seaweed from his mouth, and was still in the mood to complain: "Do you know? It's so inhumane for civil aviation passenger planes not to provide parachutes or something."
Well, I was completely speechless at him. Angelina was too lazy to answer. However, Miranda, who woke up, was pale and touched her forehead and said weakly: "Just, what happened just now, I seemed to have a very terrible dream, dreaming that I was dragging three heavy guys, flying rapidly at a high altitude, and all my feathers were lost..."
That's right, that's a dream! Lin Taiping and Angelina answered in unison, and then clasped their ears witfully. A few seconds later, Miranda's tragic scream suddenly echoed in the air: "No, my tail screen, my colorful tail screen, and my beautiful tail feathers that I have been raising for a long time..."
"I really want to cut this guy's neck with one knife." Amid the desolate scream, Giant Teeth took out the kitchen knife irritably. After thinking about it, she couldn't help asking, "What should we do now? Are we going to stay on this reef and waiting to dry?"
In fact, this question is redundant, because just a few minutes later, a roar came from the fog on the distant sea surface, and the huge outline of the Blood Queen became clearer and clearer. Centipede stood at the bow of the ship with dark creatures, waving his claws desperately from a distance: "Lin, big sister, thank goodness, fortunately your magic sign has not failed. Are we late?"
Not late at all. Five or six minutes later, the four people who fell into the water successfully boarded the deck. Angelina didn't bother to wipe her tail dry. The first thing she did was to jump impatiently and rushed directly to the big wooden boxes in the corner of the deck. Then, as if she threw herself into the arms of her lover, she fell into the glittering gold coins and magic crystals: "I'm rich! I'm rich! Oh hehe, we're really rich this time!"
I knew it would be like this. Lin Taiping sighed strangely and patted Baizhu's shoulder: "Okay, don't waste time. Let's go back to the Ice and Fire Islands now. You must know that there are Duke's warships everywhere nearby. I don't want to have tea with that duke and talk about life and ideals."
He didn't need to remind him that the dark creatures were already busy starting work. They turned the bow of the ship and headed towards the southeast. Angelina jumped over with tears in her eyes, "Kobayashi, don't you want to see these cute gold coins? If possible, I want to put them all under my bed, preferably even the pillows..."
Without any warning, when she was so excited and ecstatic, she looked up at the sky inadvertently, and suddenly her face was strangely stiff. Lin Taiping was shocked, and subconsciously looked up, and was stunned-
No, it was not that Duke Xuesai's pursuers had arrived, but in the sky at this moment, the scorching sun seemed to be slowly splitting, and a black phantom broke out from the sun halo and gradually turned into a second round of shining sun, emitting a pitch-black light, dyeing most of the sky into a painted black sieve.
What's even more strange is that at the moment when the second round of scorching sun was formed, the originally surging sea surface suddenly fell into death silence, without a trace of sea breeze or waves, so that the Blood Queen, who was originally moving forward through the wind and waves, suddenly completely lost its wind power and slowly floated on the sea surface.
"What? What's going on?" Lin Taiping looked around in a daze. He had never seen such a strange sign.
"That's the crown of the Double Sun!" Angelina turned her head slowly and stiffly, looking at him with a strange face. Finally, after a long time, she bit her cherry lips and said bitterly, "Every October, when the crown of the Double Sun appears, it means that the storm that lasted for more than half a year will be completely calmed down."
"So?" Lin Taiping blinked in confusion, not understanding why Angelina had this expression. "So what? The storm has subsided and we still do it by eating and sleeping..."
A few seconds later, a light of inspiration flashed through his mind. He suddenly stood there in a daze, but he took a breath of air conditioning in disbelief, and even his voice became trembling-
