Chapter 85-85- Attack

When we returned to the valley where the Puppet Kingdom was located, the rain had not stopped yet. The sky and the earth were vast and filled with damp and cold water vapor.

A few drops of rain fell on a tattered umbrella, splashing into crystal spots of light.

This is the handicraft of a repairman in the kingdom. Since the puppets are afraid that rain will corrode their bodies and add a few ugly rust marks, rain gear is a very important thing in the puppet kingdom. Of course, in most cases, except for the playful children in the children's expedition team, most other puppets are reluctant to go out on rainy days.

Holding an umbrella, Bingyu stood on the green grass slope at the entrance of the valley, looking around. Only when the figure of the Black Dragon appeared did she breathe a sigh of relief and yelled at the top of her voice, "Where have you been? You disappeared so early in the morning and scared everyone!"

"I went to Kux and confirmed some things." Yvette jumped off the black dragon's back, splashing water, and waved to the puppets in the distance.

There were other puppets wearing bizarre rain gear, including the caretaker Copperskin, the children's expedition team, the kingdom's tinker, shepherds, and so on. Due to their mysterious early morning disappearances, coupled with the fact that it was raining outside, the worst weather for going out, the disappearance of Yvette and Dougrabi caused a brief panic in the kingdom, perhaps recalling a disappearance long ago.

Seeing Yvette's return, the puppets chirped and passed messages to each other, retreating to the dry air-raid shelter. Copperskin stomped over the wet mud, his wooden raincoat still dripping, and asked anxiously, "Are you all right, Miss Yvette? What happened?"

"It's okay." Yvette smiled softly. Although she was no longer in real danger, the concerns of the puppets like Copperskin still made her feel a sense of human warmth.

Compared to nine years ago when she had just left the Puppet Kingdom of Agashe, she had lived in Kux for many years and no longer cared about whether these emotional expressions were true or false. At least before the truth was revealed, she would assume that all this was true.

Then, she repeated what she had said to Bingyu and continued, "...I have confirmed the general situation in Kuxne."

Bingyu and Tongpi were stunned when these words came out. Bingyu immediately asked, "What's going on?"

"Miss Yvette, are you sure?" Copperskin was a bit incredulous. The secret of Kux was a long-standing mystery for the Golem Kingdom, and it had also cost the Holy Temple's God-given a fellow warrior. Although he didn't believe Yvette would lie, he still felt that Miss Yvette might have made a mistake.

"It's actually very simple. Cooks is the arsenal of a group of alien deformed forces. Their lair is in the North Sea of ​​the Abyss, where they produce mountain whales. After the mountain whales are hatched, they will continue to return to the North Sea of ​​the Abyss along the route. This is the truth of everything." Yvette said.

"That's exactly what happened!" Copperskin immediately believed it. In its simple mind, such an answer was already astonishing. It was definitely not a mistake or a fabrication. It said gratefully, "Everyone's years of doubts have finally been answered. Thank you, Miss Yvette! I'll tell everyone the answer right away!"

"That's it?" Bingyu felt that it wasn't dramatic enough.

"What else do you want?" Dugrabi said unhappily. He got this answer at the cost of being almost killed by the Spider Witch. Although the result would be the same with or without it, it did not prevent him from feeling that he had made a contribution.

"Well... it's okay, but it's not legendary enough. It would be even better if a huge crisis could come and we could solve it ourselves. That would be more like an adventure..." Bingyu began to daydream.

"Naive fellow," said Douglabi contemptuously, "Do you think reality is a story made up by bards?"

"Are you mature?" Bingyu said unhappily.

"Of course."

"Why shouldn't I think so? He was pretending not to understand what people were saying a few years ago and breathing on people every day." Bingyu said with a pout, then waited for a while, and when she heard no response from Black Dragon, she turned her head and found that Black Dragon was looking in a certain direction behind him, frozen there like a petrified tree.

What's wrong?

Bingyu was slightly startled, followed its gaze, turned around and looked outside the valley, and immediately saw that in the direction of Kux, which was covered by the rain curtain, several small black dots were approaching here rapidly.

As time went by, those small dots became bigger and clearer, and finally what caught Bingyu's eyes were all mountain whales!

A group of whales?

But why is it heading straight towards the kingdom?

"The whales are coming, hide!"

There were chaotic screams in my ears. Apparently, the puppets from other kingdoms had also noticed this horrible fact and were calling on others to quickly take shelter in the air-raid shelter.

Bingyu swallowed and suddenly thought of what she had just said. Now her words had come true, but she couldn't feel happy at all.

This doesn't seem like a crisis we can solve... She thought nervously, and subconsciously turned to look at the kind-hearted lady, and found that Yvette was standing calmly at the entrance of the valley, neither hiding nor avoiding, as if waiting for the arrival of the whale school.

…

Standing on the head of the Mountain Whale Lord, the Purple Commander, covered in a chitinous shell, looked in a certain direction among the distant mountains, narrowed his eyes slightly, and revealed a hint of cruelty.

In fact, he knew the location of the Puppet Kingdom a long time ago. After all, he had been stationed in Kux for many years. If he didn't even know this kind of information, he would be a failure as a commander.

So when Abella reported to him about the mysterious silver-haired girl, he guessed that she might be in the Puppet Kingdom, or that there might be some connection between them.

Under normal circumstances, the descendants of gods and the mechanical race would not interfere with each other. The mysterious silver-haired girl couldn't even beat Abella, so she was not worthy of his attention.

But not long ago, after completing her promotion, Abella suddenly disappeared from the Pale Nest's perception, which was a big deal.

Perhaps to the King of Tianhai, a fifth-stage lord is not that important, but it is different for Commander Zi. This will greatly affect the overall strength of the Deformed Legion under his command, and then affect his position in the heart of the King of Tianhai.

So he had to solve this matter, and the best way to solve it was to transform the culprit into nutrients and feed one or even two new lords to make up for the losses.

As for keeping a low profile... the opponent is just a fifth-stage lord, not a sixth-stage commander. What is there to be afraid of? Can he let the opponent escape if he takes action personally?

The whales continued to move forward, and the narrow valley became clearer and clearer. Gradually, with his amazing eyesight, Commander Zi noticed the silver-haired girl standing motionless at the entrance of the valley, and a smile appeared on her anthropomorphic face.

"Interesting." He said to himself.

On the way here, he had made many assumptions, his biggest worry being what to do if the other party had already escaped. It seemed like there was nothing he could do except to accept his bad luck. But he hadn't expected that the other party would not run away at all, and was actually waiting there.

What did this mean? Didn't she know how big a reaction killing the lord would cause?

Or did she not have the confidence to escape, so she chose to surrender and serve Abella instead?

Thinking of this, Commander Zi felt that the answer was already clear. As long as the silver-haired girl was not a fool, she would definitely come to surrender.

So today's incident wasn't about losing Abella, but about using Abella as nutrients to feed his excellent new subordinates...

That doesn't sound so bad.

Soon, the huge group of whales covered the entire valley like a gloomy iron cloud, completely swallowing up the sky.

Still standing on top of the Mountain Whale Lord, the Fish Man Lord was standing beside him, paying respectful tributes. The Purple Commander looked down at the girl below and said calmly, "Are you here to submit?"

Yvette looked at it calmly and did not answer.

It’s not that she didn’t want to answer, but she found that this sixth-stage commander of Kux spoke with an accent, mumbling something incoherently, which made her stunned.

I don't know if it's the Emerald Continent's accent or the Silver Mirror Continent's, but it definitely smells like someone from another place... Thinking about it this way, perhaps when Commander Purple first fell in love with Spider Woman, he also needed a local translator...

On the other side, seeing Yvette's silence, the Purple Commander became more certain of his thoughts. He thought the silver-haired girl had either acquiesced or was frightened, so he said, "Since you have surrendered, I can give you a lighter sentence for what happened before, but you will still have to accept some punishment."

The relationship between superiors and subordinates before the divine heirs was entirely controlled by the mother nest, unlike the relationship between human rulers and subjects, where there was essentially no emotional connection. However, rules still had to be in place, otherwise, if subordinates could eat each other up, could that be allowed to happen just because it was a transfer of nutrients?

"......?" Yvette still didn't understand what this guy was saying, and then she saw Commander Purple glance at the fish man next to him. The fish man immediately jumped off the head of the Mountain Whale Lord as if he had received an order, with a cruel smile on his face.

"I advise you not to struggle, otherwise it will not be me who punishes you, but Lord Zi." The fish man said. His accent should be better, at least so that Yvette can hear clearly.

"What did you say?" Yvette asked in surprise.

Behind her, Dugrabi, Bingyu, and Tongpi, who had secretly peeked out from the cave wall, also pricked up their "ears" to understand what was happening.

"I'm saying, I'm going to punish you, you'd better behave yourself!" the fish man repeated impatiently.

He and Yvette had had a few brief encounters, and he didn't think the other party could definitely beat him. As for Abella's disappearance... it must be Abella herself who was too weak.

Then, seeing Yvette's surprised and thoughtful expression, the fish man didn't hesitate and walked over directly, condensing a trident made of solid ice in his hand.

This was one of his innate abilities. While this Ice Trident looked like it was simply condensed ice, it was actually incredibly strong, rivaling even some of the military alloys used during the Origin Civilization era. It also didn't need repairing; if it broke, he could just condense a new one, making it incredibly useful.

He intended to use this trident to stab the silver-haired girl who had harassed him several times into the ground, then gouge out a little flesh and blood as punishment for depriving her of nutrients. Although it was a bit unpleasant to use such torture on a beautiful girl, the fragments of human memory in his mind contained many memories of serious criminals, so he was actually quite adept at doing this.

"Behave yourself!"

As he said this, the fish man stabbed the trident towards the silver-haired girl. He thought that under the commander's watchful eyes, everything would go as expected. But the next second, before Commander Zi and others could react to what happened, the fish man flew back like a cannonball at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and slammed into the belly of the Mountain Whale Lord, almost knocking the Mountain Whale Lord down from the sky.

I had something to do today, so I wrote this update in a hurry. I'll leave it like this for now and revise it tomorrow. It will be available next Friday, so everyone should come and support it!
