Chapter 1264 (2/2)
”This is how the demons call this civilization,” Roland answered and told Thunder about the demons' double plan The description of these ans was consistent hat he had seen through the God's Relics They could float in water like a shi+p but could also dive to the botto that we invaded their territory?”
”Possibly, but this can also be attributed to the appearance of the bloody Moon There's a possibility that these monsters become more active than usual and start to expand their territory,” Roland said ”Then what happened? How did the fleet escape?”
”In fact, we didn't shake them off The monsters started to attack each other,” Thunder said with a bitter sht They pursued us relentlessly as though they were never going to stop By the time we reached the Sealine, we had lost half of our shi+ps Most of the survived sailors were on the verge of a breakdown after sailing day and night Only the 'Snow Wind' you created still had strength to e her direction”
”So, just when everyone was desperate and about to give up, a huge monster suddenly leaped out of the water and attacked anothereach other Although they were both er than the second one It soon ripped the other apart with his auxiliary limbs and tentacles that sprouted from its body Then, all the Sea Ghosts and h they were spellbound We thus got a chance to cross the Sealine and return to the Fjords”
Roland heaved a sigh and was also pretty shaken by the horrid story ”You were very lucky It seeht na to do with the shi+p's na his hand ”So, what's your plan next?”
Thunder, for the first time, looked a little weary He said, ”To be honest,I don't really care much about the loss of the shi+ps, but the sailors at the Fjords, who have been sailing for their whole life, go livid in fear when they look toward the east I believe that nobody wants to sail out to the Shadow Waters again in a long time”
Roland fell silent This was not totally unexpected Like Thunder had said, one could predict storet aith thele to survive an irresistible force, as such a trip could no longer be called an adventure
”Those big Chae to you They wish to buy a land at a high price in Graycastle where they can take refuge in the future,” Thunder sighed ”After all, nobody knohether the monsters will come back or not The ocean is a natural barrier for a lot of Fjords peopleHowever, if our enemies could roam the sea, then the whole Fjords Island would be in a very dangerous position with literally nothing to defend itself”
It was such a rapid change Just one to two years ago, Roland had planned to use the Fjords Islands as the last retreat in case they were defeated in the war Now, it appeared that the situation had reversed
Had Roland still lived in Border Toith only an asset of 300 gold royals, he would have iiven his consent But now, as transactions were all carried out in the new paper currencies, the so-called ”high price” becaer attractive
”What do you think?”
”If they plan to found a kingdoet about it,” Thunder replied while shrugging ”You won't allow ”islands” like that in Graycastle”
Roland s explorer in the Fjords ”If they only want to survive rather than gaining power, then Graycastle will always be open to thee to them, Your Majesty”
”You must be exhausted after this expedition I have some afternoon tea Please take a shower first and then tell me about your adventure It'll take a few days to repair the 'Snow Wind' You can stay here to recuperate and then head back to the Fjords”
”Thank you,” Thunder said while placing his hand on his chest
When Thunder was about to withdraw, Roland suddenly asked, ”By the way, are you still planning not to tell Lightning?”
”I ” Thunder was at a loss for words for a second
”You said you'd reveal your true identity to her after this expedition Although the trip wasn't very successful, the Sky-sea Realm has indeed taken over half of the ocean Fjords people are in a panic It's likely that you won't go on a trip in a long time,” Roland said as he propped up his chin ”And I need people to fight the de would like to see her father still alive So, how about just staying here after you've taken care of your matters?”
Thunder lowered his head After a moment of silence, he replied, ”I'll think about it, Your Majesty”
