"This is called the ’Suicide Pill’, an encrypted military supply of the first level from our Sea Clan regular army. Keep it well, and do not pour out the seawater from the shell. This type of seaweed pill must be soaked in seawater to remain preserved for long periods." Whale Warrior Figo, knowing this subject might have hurt Her Highness the Princess’s heart, quickly offered an explanation, but then he himself shook his head with extre dejection, "Even the ’Suicide Pill’ was lost... The hundred-and-so-thousand-strong Hai Mu coalition army lost too quickly..."
"Is this ’Suicide Pill’ actually front-line equipnt? Is it that important?" Captain Luo Xi leaned over curiously and picked up a pill resembling a black pearl, "What exactly is it used for?"
"The ’Suicide Pill’ is, of course, for the Suicide Squad. This thing, when ingested, gives effects similar to the ’Bloodlust’ spell, making the cowardly bold and fearless in the face of blades and arrows, with no side effects." Figo glanced at Princess Avril and gave a bitter smile to the rcenary captain while shrugging his broad shoulders like a hill, "Actually, the predecessor of this pill is the sea betel nut our Sea Clan soldiers often chewed during the last sea-land war. Its importance is equivalent to the Beamon’s ’Berserk War Song.’ If this pill was captured in large quantities, undoubtedly, the Sea Clan army would suffer a dreadful defeat."
"Among the history books I’ve read, it’s really rare for any army group exceeding a million on the Aegean Continent to decide victory or defeat in less than half a month." Penguin Butler Jabbar dusted off nonexistent dust from his tuxedo, raised his head proudly, adjusted the Windsor tie around his neck, full of arrogance and confidence, "However, in the face of our brave Florentine Sumr Palace Guards, things impossible otherwise beco possible..."
"Butler, please select for a jug of the finest pearls and gems and send them back to Florence, deliver them to Big S and Little S." Ning Yu raised her head and interrupted the Penguin Butler’s words, "Just say it’s from the Overlord."
"Happy to serve you, my lady." The old penguin, unaware his words hurt another lady’s feelings, bowed politely and took his leave.
"I don’t know about Similian and..." Tears stread from Little Ai’s eyes, forming fine pearls as they dripped continuously onto the asphalt ground.
"If they could die at the hands of the Florentine Sumr Palace Guards, it would be the most dignified ending for the Sea Clan warriors, for they perished at the hands of heroes, not scoundrels." Figo, after all, ca from the position of Chief Imperial Guard of the West Sea Kingdom and had long been ntally prepared for the cruelty of war. He clearly knew his boss would never show rcy to the Sea Clan army because of Her Highness the Princess’s involvent.
In other words, by now, Prince Similian is likely already martyred for his country.
The Whale Warrior turned his face away secretly, trying his best to hide the waterfall of tears from the others.
"Louis, have you forgotten the gag order?" Ning Yu, who was accounting beside them, coldly raised her head and stared at the tear-stained Figo, then swept her gaze over the crowd rendered silent as the grave, "All of you, rember well, from now on, no one is allowed to inquire about any matters regarding the war between Beamon and the Sea Clan!"
Avril’s tears poured down like rain, fully aware that Ning Yu issued the gag order solely to protect her emotions, but how long could such self-deception from what she dreaded hearing really last?
*********
Queen Jiabao stealthily infiltrated the outskirts of the Red Earth Highland, where lush Buddha’s belly bamboo and slat banana trees made for the most suitable and hidden refuge near Florence.
Her Majesty’s beautiful eyes blazed with furious flas, staring fixedly at this brilliant city adorned with illuminated crystals and morning glory vines. Her heart felt more clogged than a gutter a century untouched, as if a giant were stirring it with a spoon until even her soul quivered in pain.
Richard, that heartless scoundrel, not only deceived her terribly but also took the entire Demon World for a ride, treating them like idiots!
Humiliation, resentnt, anger, and grievance unconsciously led this Lich Queen to yank out a large patch of wild grass around her.
But regardless of her emotional turmoil, Jiabao hadn’t forgotten her mission. Not a mont since infiltrating had passed before she’d detected fifteen different arcane detection waves brushing over her. The Witch King might conjure up fifteen different elental detection devices to install in his palace, but its vast territory couldn’t be fully scanned from all angles; Florence was different. It’s a straight-up-and-down red earth fortress, adopting the most space-saving three-dinsional structure. With watchtowers and elental detection ensuring real-ti monitoring, plus two Flying Peaks overhead, Florence’s security surpassed Queen Jiabao’s wildest imagination.
Even if the Demon World Witch King’s stealth skills, far more covert than most high-level undead creatures, tried to infiltrate Red Earth Highland’s interior unnoticed under such unrelenting elental observation, it would still be mission impossible unless...
Unless entering brazenly, without camouflage!
As this thought barely ford, before Queen Jiabao could place the ’Masque of the Rakshasa’ on her face, a pack of mastiffs started barking wildly, with the chaotic sounds of footsteps quickly enwrapping her hiding spot.
