Chapter 1087: Chapter 694, Virtuous Moon White Lion
“What’s going on?” the Queen asked, her heart still pounding.
Demitrija shook his head too.
He was in charge of the defense of the main city, and there was no Dragon Clan territory nearby.
He was also curious where so many dragon corpses had come from.
But one thing was certain, during the time he had been away,
a major event had taken place in the main city.
The Queen hesitated, but Demitrija quickened his steps.
Along the way, they met some Undead craftsmen, who greeted Demitrija.
The entire city
seemed to be divided into two areas.
One side was filled with dragon corpses, blood-red sky.
The other side was business as usual, producing and playing chess.
…
Inside the lord’s mansion.
The Queen’s expression was still not good, despite Fang Hao’s enthusiasm.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, she went straight to the point, “Fang Hao, what exactly happened here?”
Killing members of the Dragon Clan was no small matter.
Even though she and Demitrija were deeply in love, she still regretted allying with Fang Hao.
This wasn’t an ally; this was a bomb.
A bomb that could drag her down with it.
Fang Hao drank a sip of tea and explained, “A few days ago, the Dragon Clan, with their troops, launched an attack on my location. Fortunately, my forces were sufficiently prepared, and it did not cause too much damage.”
He spoke lightly, as if it was just a raid by bandits.
But those rows of dragon corpses didn’t seem as simple as he described.
“How many troops did the Dragon Clan deploy, and what level were the leaders?” the Queen continued.
“Well, in terms of troop numbers, there were a hundred giant dragons, along with some winged dragons, pseudo-dragons, and such. The leaders were two orange heroes from the Dragon Clan,” Fang Hao didn’t hide anything.
When he mentioned a hundred,
the Queen’s heart nearly leapt out of her chest.
She had sworn such a deep enmity that there was no room for easing tensions.
She wanted to criticize him for causing trouble, but when the words reached her lips, they didn’t come out.
After all, they were not from the same power.
And, with things as they stood, speaking more of it was pointless.
She took two deep breaths to keep from getting angry.
Now wasn’t the time for her emotions to run too high.
She also decided that she would visit this place less in the future.
“So, what are your plans now?”
“Dealing with the Dragon Clan? With the current military power of the main city, as long as the Dragon Clan does not come out in full force, there is no danger,” Fang Hao said confidently.
The Lizardmen Queen was taken aback once more.
What grandiose confidence.
That was the Dragon Clan, a top force capable of destroying the vast majority of other powers.
You made it sound as if they were just the neighboring Orc City-states.
Fang Hao didn’t want to linger on this subject, so he changed the topic, “How is your married life going?”
The Queen and Demitrija glanced at each other.
“Not bad,” the Queen responded curtly.
Looking at the two of them, it seemed there were no issues with their ‘conceiving’ pilgrimage.
The Queen continued, “I came here this time to confirm if you still need the ‘Glazed Tiles’, I can start preparing them for you now.”
The pilgrimage had ended, and all the Temple repairs had come to a close.
At this point, the production of Glazed Tiles was solely for external sales.
And as an ally, Fang Hao would naturally be given priority.
Although, at this moment, she was quite dissatisfied with this ally.
She almost wanted to tear the Alliance treaty to shreds.
Hearing that she came for this matter, Fang Hao was also delighted, “That’s great, we still need Glazed Tiles in my territory, and the more, the better.”
“Didn’t you say you only needed 5,000 pieces? Why the more the better now?”
Fang Hao smiled slightly, “For providing to other subsidiary cities.”
The Queen didn’t want to ask more, “Okay, then I will start preparing them for you after I return.”
“Thank you very much, Queen.”
“We’re allies, it’s only right. But I hope for some matters, you’ll make your decisions more cautiously to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
“Exactly! The Queen and I think alike, develop low key!”
“You…”
After the main discussion, they moved on to more trivial matters.
They talked about Lizardmen affairs and the situation in the main city.
From tomorrow, Demitrija could return and resume his post.
Strengthening the defense of the main city.
Although they were in two different places, it didn’t affect his life with the Queen.
Going back to the Lizardmen side was actually quite convenient through the Teleportation Array.
After all, they were newlyweds, in the honeymoon phase.
After their conversation, Fang Hao asked Demitrija to take the Queen to check out the amusement park construction site in the east of the city.
In front of the construction site, there was a preview drawing, hand-drawn by a craftsman.
After all, the only thing worth mentioning was this project where tens of thousands of Undead were working simultaneously.
…
The Queen had just left.
Outside the door, several small heads appeared, peering through the frame into the room.
Seeing no outsiders were present,
Eira, Little White, Millie, and a host of maids all squeezed in.
[Millie of the Lunar Virtue White Lion – Level 2 Green]
Success.
Seeing the change in Millie’s name, Fang Hao was pleased.
The name Lunar Virtue White Lion was a bit of a mouthful, though.
And what did rabbits have to do with white lions?
But it didn’t matter, the important thing was that her abilities had improved, and her physical condition was better.
In the rules of this world, level impacted lifespan and health.
Fang Hao also hoped that these rabbit-like creatures would live longer.
“Hmph!” Millie huffed, crossing her arms with a tsundere expression.
“Not bad, Millie, I thought you couldn’t succeed!” Fang Hao teased on purpose.
Millie lifted her head even higher, “How could I possibly fail!”
“Well then… how about we have a party tonight to celebrate for Millie?” Fang Hao drew out the suggestion.
All the maids’ eyes lit up.
“Great, great!” Millie immediately started bouncing up and down with excitement.
Fang Hao looked at Eira beside him, “Eira, do you think we should celebrate?”
Eira nodded, “As you wish, Master.”
“Alright then, finish today’s training early and come back to prepare. We’ll have a banquet tonight.”
“Yay!!” All the maids cheered in unison.
Once the cheering had subsided, Fang Hao stood up and said, “Let’s go, Millie. I’ll build a mansion just for you. You’ll have your own house and hot spring from now on.”
“Okay!” Millie nodded.
Fang Hao, leading the maids, majestically proceeded to the heroes’ residential area.
On the way, they happened to see the Snake Woman – Beiyehu, lounging on a sunbed, soaking up the sun.
Her slender snake tail sprawled and trailed onto the ground.
She always seemed to give off a perilous aura.
“Lord, Miss Eira…” Beiyehu sat up and bowed slightly.
Beiyehu seemed like a completely different person during this time, nothing like the pirate she used to be.
“En, Beiyehu, Millie has become a hero. You’ll be neighbors now, look out for each other,” Fang Hao instructed.
Beiyehu nodded, and Millie gave a shy smile.
They reached an open space on the side.
Fang Hao began to build a house and hot spring for her.
…
At sea.
“Fire!” Bai Xuan ordered coldly.
The crew next to her immediately echoed, “Fire!”
The order was passed down in succession.
The gunners, who were ready, directly lit the fuses.
Boom boom boom!!
Cannon fire erupted, and the cannonballs howled as they smashed toward the opposing vessels.
At the same time, the other ships of the Straw Hat Nautical Group also opened fire one after another.
For a moment, the sound of cannon fire was deafening.
Gunsmoke started to spread continuously through the air.
“Two hits, three misses!” a sailor reported loudly.
No sooner had he spoken than the lookout shouted, “Enemy cannonballs!!”
A shock ran through everyone’s hearts, and they immediately ducked low.
Bang bang!!
Cannonballs crashed down, sending wood splinters flying everywhere.
In an instant, the ship was filled with the cries of the severely injured crew.
“Sister Xuan, are you alright?” Xu Yuanhang rushed over from the bow, pulling up the bleeding Bai Xuan.
“I’m fine. Organize a counterattack,” Bai Xuan said, leaning on the railing.
“Alright, be careful,” Xu Yuanhang said before returning to the deck and shouting loudly, “Carry the wounded down, reload the cannons, and fire at them. Hurry, get moving.”
The stunned crew staggered to their feet and began preparing according to the orders.
Here at sea, it was either kill the enemy or die.
There was no third option.
Boom boom boom!!
The cannons relentlessly spat out cannonballs, and gunsmoke filled the air.
Cannonballs exchanged back and forth, and the sailors leaned against the railing, loading gunpowder and shot into their muskets.
At this range, muskets proved ineffective.
But once the battle started, they couldn’t just stand by and watch.
Boom boom boom!
Cannonballs were fired again, crashing into the enemy fleet.
Similarly, the enemy’s retaliation also hit the hull.
Muskets were tossed onto the deck, and more people ran below deck to repair the damaged hull.
They did their best to keep the ship in the best possible condition.
Bai Xuan opened the Book of Lords and flipped to the Alliance channel.
“Gentle Breeze, severe hull damage, immobile, needs cover.”
“Tiger Shark has arrived, buying you time for repairs.”
Glancing at the ship directly engaging her own, she immediately sent a message.
“East number, the second sea vessel, Gentle Breeze, concentrate fire with me, take it out.”
“Understood!”
Lifting her head, Bai Xuan shouted to Xu Yuanhang, “Second ship, prepare for broadside fire.”
“Okay.” Xu Yuanhang immediately ran down, “Adjust the angle, target the second sea ship, fire!”
Boom boom!
At the same time, the ship beside them joined in with a volley of cannon fire.
The opposing vessel was actually hit by at least five cannonballs directly.
It was crippled and could no longer move.
Just as Bai Xuan was about to order a sinking strike, the lookout shouted, “Merfolk are moving in, a large group of them are approaching!”
Bai Xuan’s expression changed.
Watching the dense shadows under the water in the distance, Bai Xuan immediately ordered, “Retreat, we’re not fighting them.”
At the same time, she issued the retreat command over the channel.
The transmigrator’s war seemed extremely ferocious.
But at sea, once the Merfolk and the Sea Tribe intervened, they stood no chance of resisting.
Not only were the Straw Hat Nautical Group’s people frantically retreating, but the other side was also organizing a retreat.
Once out of the area.
Xu Yuanhang reported, “Sister Xuan, tallying up, we lost 22 crew and have 75 injured. The Gentle Breeze didn’t get repaired in time when the merfolk arrived; they boarded other ships to retreat early, so we essentially lost a sea vessel.”
Bai Xuan nodded, her mood growing increasingly somber.
After acquiring cannons, they had a great advantage in the first two encounters.
But today, it became clear that the enemy had also obtained cannons, and their firepower was no different from their own.
Without the Sea Tribe getting involved, if they were to help the other side, her own would stand no chance at all.
“Sister Xuan, should we… give up on the treasure?” Xu Yuanhang whispered.
The entire Alliance had invested all their effort and finances for the treasure marked on the map.
They even owed Fang Hao a huge debt.
Not to mention, they had yet to secure a significant advantage. If this continued, it might collapse the entire Alliance.
Bai Xuan sighed and said, “If we give up now, we won’t even have a chance to go to sea in the future. Then we’ll just be stuck being beaten at their blockade.”
…
Main City.
After building the residence.
Fang Hao then began to check Millie’s properties.
