Chapter 1209: Chapter 306: Furious Torrent II_2
In a flash, the pier and the wharf were declared to have changed hands...
Seven piers in Ampezel, one spare pier, two military-use piers, were simultaneously attacked. The port guards were completely powerless to resist, and collapsed instantly...
"Pier number three has fallen."
"Pier number four has fallen..."
"Lord, they are setting the ships on fire!"
"How is this possible?!" Junon nearly screamed in rage at his subordinates. In fact, he didn’t need any reports to know what the port’s condition was now. Outside, the storm was raging, but towards the dock, flames shot high into the sky. "Are you all useless? Come on, tell me, who is attacking us!"
"Lord, it’s the Naga! Greyfin Naga!"
"Naga?" The Deputy Director of the Port almost grabbed the ink bottle on his desk and threw it: "You can’t even defeat a bunch of bandits?"
"No, Lord! But their numbers are too great!" The deputy quickly explained.
"Too many? A hundred? A thousand?" Junon’s fury was uncontainable. Though Greyfin Naga frequently attacked merchant ships on the route, they had almost never attacked a port. His first reaction was that his subordinates were shirking responsibility.
This was also the thing they did most often.
"No, Lord, thousands! Tens of thousands!" The deputy himself could hardly believe it but braced himself to answer. But this time, Junon didn’t burst into anger because everyone heard an exclamation.
"Oh my God——!"
Everyone turned their heads. Suddenly, in the midst of the storm-tossed sea waves, a huge shadow emerged. The monster was so enormous, it was as if a floating mountain had suddenly appeared in everyone’s vision.
Sea... Sea Demon Whale!
Junon collapsed into his seat, his mind a chaotic swirl, but now he only had one thought, that damned Port Director role he was done with! Didn’t want it anyway!
What is all this?
...
"Port attacked, request for support?" Patrol Cavalry squad leader, Sir Jinopa Lee, received the order and gave the orderly a suspicious look. He pondered for a moment, then raised his head. The sky in the direction of the port district was half red, even a fool could understand what was happening.
"Commander?"
He shook his head, his gaze turning deep, as if his thoughts were penetrating the thick rain curtain; around him, the cavalry turned their heads, waiting for their squad leader to give orders.
"We have a more important mission." The knight answered.
"But on the port side?"
"Let Junon handle it himself! Is the people of Ampezel keeping them just to raise a bunch of good-for-nothings? If they can’t hold out, let him himself report to the council!" Jinopa snorted in annoyance, finally adding: "Greyfin Naga taking advantage of the chaos, they’ll have their day coming——"
But before he finished speaking, another orderly staggered into view. He arrived before his voice, breathlessly: "Lord, not good! The Naga have started attacking the inner city..."
"What?!" This time Jinopa’s face changed: "This can’t be, are those bandits out of their minds? It’s no longer robbery, Martha above! They’re declaring war!"
Greyfin Naga were indeed declaring war; they were participating in the civil war——
"Forward, keep moving forward, the storm shelters the people of Sky Snake Maranas, making them fearless!"
On Ampezel’s first military pier, Sani’er coldly observed everything, raising a clear blue trident with one hand and pointing forward, behind it thunder and lightning, in front fierce waves:
"Her Majesty’s decree, Greyfin Naga Guard, advance on Ampezel’s inner city! Unite with our allies on land, may the sacred covenant remain unbroken, now we fight side by side once more!"
"Attack!"
The emblem of Sky Snake Maranas was clearly visible on the tip of the trident—if Brand were here at this moment, he would surely recognize it as the treasure of the Greyfin clan, the Scepter of the Sea God.
Sir Jinopa Lee’s face was like ice and iron, turning back, raising his horseman’s saber.
"Patrol Cavalry, hear the order, your enemy today is anyone plotting to divide the Kingdom, follow me back and intercept the Greyfin Clan!!"
"Erune!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
In the storm, the saber pointed. Amidst the sound of wind and rain, amid the cries of men and horses, on the square, large groups of cavalry were rapidly turning around, one after another, in an instant, patrol cavalry split into different paths.
"Patrol Cavalry has moved, he indeed has arrangements." Count Otin lowered the brass telescope, standing beside an unfamiliar man in a raincoat. That chubby noble was still trailing behind him. They had all undergone the life-and-death trials of the Black Forest Wolf Calamity, and now their relationship had long surpassed the mere alliance of interests.
Behind them, hundreds of silent noble private soldiers stood solemnly amid the pouring rain.
The count turned around: "Master Ruduo."
The mysterious raincoat man nodded. "I’ve received news from the Sky Ring, I don’t know what’s happening with the Trade Wind Ring, but I hope what they’re doing is right."
"Whether right or wrong, it must be personally tested," Otin’s gaze pierced directly through the rain curtain, between sea and sky, silver rain bands connected the city line directly. "Besides, I have faith in that person."
"It’s unrelated to faith, for me, this is an order." The raincoat man shook his head.
He raised his hand.
A ring on the hand gleamed, the ring was emerald like a dream, with a tree shape forming within the gemstone.
’Swish’ a soft sound. Everyone couldn’t help but turn their heads. Just a few miles from Ampezel was Flada Forest, its canopy stretching thousands of miles. Suddenly, a mass of dark birds soared into the sky, in an instant overshadowing the sun and sky.
In a second, like black clouds, they pressed straight toward Ampezel Port.
Ampezel Port South Gate guards felt that this particular moment today was the doomsday, everyone couldn’t help but turn pale, staring blankly at the scene. Countless, innumerable birds were heading straight for the city, Martha above, what in the world is going on!
And from an overhead view, this ancient port seemed to be caught in a terrible torrent.
Torrent swirling violently.
Above the clouds, a giant shadow flickered momentarily, a pair of golden eyes blinked, revealing admiration.
"Interesting, little one."
