Chapter 287 "I'm already engaged..." (Third update)
"Can I ask you something?" Rand looked at the older beauty.
The elderly beauty knew what Rand wanted to ask, so she said directly, "I am the aunt of the Duke of Thorns."
Rand now admires the Duke of Thorn very much.
He had only met the mysterious Grand Duke a few times.
I haven't heard anything about the Grand Duke's deeds.
But now, Rand at least knew that the Grand Duke must be thicker-skinned than himself.
To be honest, if the Duke of Thorn hadn't really done such a thing, Rand would never have thought of such an operation.
Giving away one's aunt and one's own daughter together as a gift is something that not many people can do.
To be honest, this is really tempting. What kind of person is the Duke of Thorn?
The only remaining Grand Duke in the Frost Moon Kingdom, he is the greatest noble in the country.
The army is powerful and has many strong men under its command.
He had excellent internal affairs, prosperous territories under his rule, and a wealth of gold and jade.
If he marries his aunt, the Grand Duke of Thorns will become his nephew.
Moreover, Duke Thorn’s aunt is a top-level professional, she is well maintained and looks very beautiful.
What’s even more exaggerated is that Duke Thorn also gave him his legitimate daughter as a gift.
It was a taboo feeling that my aunt and my niece served together.
I can only say that it is not easy to refuse.
But Rand said seriously: "I'm already engaged."
The aunt of the Duke of Thorns crossed her arms, making her chest curve out, and sneered: "If you don't like it, then don't like it. Don't make up excuses."
She was indeed a little anxious. She was an experienced top-level professional and had seen a lot, but most of the time she just practiced martial arts in the family.
Saying those words just now had already consumed most of the courage I had stored in this life.
"This is true." Rand said helplessly. Ellie was not here, so he had no way to prove it directly. "I didn't make it up. I will probably get married to my fiancé next year."
Lord Thorn's aunt stared at Rand and felt that he did not seem to be lying. She asked suspiciously, "Whose little girl is this?"
"Her name is Ellie," Rand said.
"You should not be so naive. A commoner is not qualified to be the mistress of your family." Duke Thorn's aunt knew that Rand was of commoner origin, so it was normal for him to have a commoner girl he liked.
Rand did not mention Ellie's last name, so it is estimated that she did not have one.
Rand said helplessly: "Her last name is Calant."
The aunt of Lord Thorn said: "There is only one Calant family in this world."
The White King's royal family, the Calant family, has no side branches.
"Yes, she is the White King's sister," Rand said.
Duke Thorn's aunt turned and left.
She didn't completely think Rand was making it up.
It is well known that Rand has a relationship with the White King. After all, Rand's personal guard has always had a team of the White King's personal guards.
But whether it is true or false is meaningless.
If it was true, she couldn't win over him. If it was false, Rand would probably not agree to this marriage even if he made up such an excuse.
It's good that this marriage is really ruined. She won't have to shamelessly marry a young man who is at most half her age.
Next, we just need to deal with the revenge of the King of the Kingdom of Bolun and then we can go back.
Rand also walked out of the tent where they were talking. At this time, the sea had already begun to surge.
Looking at the surging sea, Rand asked Elsa with a guilty conscience: "They can't summon a tsunami, right?"
If that's the case, the only thing we can do is run away.
"No." Elsa and Olenna said at the same time.
Rand was relieved.
Soon, the Naga leader who had previously negotiated with Rand and could speak the common language of the continent appeared on the sea again.
Still only half of the body was exposed above the sea.
The apricot-yellow vertical pupils stared at Rand and said, "It's too late to regret now."
Rand said disdainfully: "But it's not too late for you to regret now."
Rand grinned: "After you lose the battle, it will still be too late to regret it."
These high-quality laborers cannot be wasted.
The Nagas and Murlocs captured before are already willing to work. It has been proven that Nagas and Murlocs can be tamed, so the same can be said for the ones in front of us.
The Naga leader raised his staff.
When fighting along the coast, Naga mages have a great advantage, after all, there is water everywhere.
The water rushed out.
Then it was hit by the tip of Olenna's sword, and then it turned into an umbrella-shaped water curtain.
After the water arrows stopped, Olenna swung the swift sword in her hand and said, "It's still powerful enough."
Rand waited for the Naga's next trick and was in no hurry to give orders.
The sea water continued to surge, and a large number of fishmen and nagas surfaced.
Rand remained in no hurry, waiting for the next move of these aquatic creatures.
At this time, the six top professionals supported by the kingdom were watching from the sidelines.
Their mission is only to protect Rand's safety. They have no obligation to participate in the war, and they don't think Rand will lose at all.
They observed it when they came, and Rand even brought the crossbow with him.
It's just hidden now and hasn't been used yet.
So these top professionals just watched from the sidelines to see how the rising military star of the Frost Moon Kingdom defeated the enemy.
The number of Nagas and Murlocs is more than expected. It should be that other Naga tribes in the sea have joined them.
But it is still limited.
Rand's soldiers formed a dense battle formation, with the soldiers in the front row holding large shields, ready for battle.
The waves surged again, and this time, a huge head appeared.
Then, a huge body emerged from the sea.
"Sea Giants." Elsa said, "If the Naga tribe's sacrifice is successful, this will be a common response. Sea Giants are creatures without intelligence. They will follow some kind of inducement, come to the sea, and temporarily obey the Naga's orders."
There are 7 two-story-high sea giants.
That is about six meters high.
The size of the Iron Golem I saw for the first time.
Nothing but flesh and blood.
There is also a four-story-tall sea giant covered in an exoskeleton and looking much more ferocious.
"What's their strength level?" Rand asked.
"For those sea giants that are two stories tall, if they can reach the level of elite professionals, their strength will be similar to that of the highest-level professionals of humans." This time it was Olenna who answered Rand, "But since sea giants have no intelligence, it is almost impossible for them to become professionals, so they are only at the level of upper-level professionals."
"That one is particularly huge, four stories high. I'm not sure if it's a sea giant." Olenna frowned and continued to explain, "I don't know how strong it is, so we should be cautious."
Rand felt that even if they were combined, they could not defeat the Iron Golem, so they were not to be feared.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, seeing so many giants slowly emerging from the coastline was still quite oppressive.
Rand's soldiers showed unusual nervousness, but no one was afraid, and no one wavered.
"Wait!" Rand shouted.
"Are you planning to reconcile?" The Naga leader, who still had only the upper half of his body above the sea, sneered, "It's too late."
Rand felt that the Naga's intelligence was not smooth, no wonder these Nagas were unwilling to surrender.
He actually thought that he could defeat Rand in this way.
But it's normal. After all, it is difficult for aquatic creatures to obtain information from land.
Once they are beaten and hurt, they will naturally submit.
Rand said patiently, "How long can you control these sea giants?"
The reason why Rand was still using his mouth was because he was too envious of these sea giants.
Such a huge creature must be very strong.
His shipyard is in need of such workers! "It is enough to defeat you." said the Naga leader.
Rand was a little disappointed, but he couldn't control it for long.
Well, he didn't mind the Nagas and the fishmen doing hard labor for him.
The Naga leader was even more impatient than Rand and ordered his soldiers to attack.
Rand ordered the crossbows to fire.
The crossbows that were originally hidden in various locations were pushed out.
Then a giant iron crossbow arrow, longer than a human, was launched under the action of torque.
The huge kinetic energy made the air buzz.
Some pierced through the rows of murlocs and naga soldiers.
Some pierced the flesh of the sea giant.
The Naga's arrows hit the large shields of the Rand army, making a tinkling sound, as if they were playing music.
Rand also prepared crossbowmen and archers.
The craftsmanship of today's crossbows and bows has been improved, and they are more powerful than ordinary bows and crossbows.
Dense arrows rained down like rain, piercing the bodies of the Nagas and the Murlocs in the snow.
Some of them also hit the sea giant, causing wounds.
The sea giants seem to have a strong recovery ability. Arrows and crossbows shot at them will be quickly squeezed out by their muscles, and the wounds will heal quickly.
But the huge wound caused by the bed crossbow could not heal.
Amid the cries of grief, sea giants fell one after another.
Rand felt a little regretful that he did not bring some chains with him to tie up these sea giants who would probably just be unable to stand up in a short period of time but not die.
According to Elsa and Olenna, these creatures have strong vitality and it is estimated that some of them will survive after the war.
Naga mages cast spells together.
However, the armor on Rand's front row was made of magic steel plate armor, which could not be broken by normal water flow.
The Naga leader found that all his preparations were in vain.
The warriors under his command had no way to deal with these soldiers holding large shields.
Soon, only the largest one was left, a sea giant that was four stories tall.
His body is covered with some kind of hard bones. Although he moves slowly, he has strong defensive power.
The crossbows that Rand prepared in advance were not very effective.
"Do we have any powerful means?" Rand asked Elsa and Olenna beside him.
Elsa curled her lips, while Olenna kept smiling, and neither of them answered Rand.
Of course, Rand is the one who knows best what the remaining means are, and he is asking even though he knows the answer.
"Then there's nothing we can do." Rand looked at the warriors who were watching the battle. If they weren't there, he could try using Blessing 5 to summon a dead sea giant.
Or you can have the soldiers move back and use Desire Sharing.
Nowadays, it is better not to use many methods.
Just when Rand wanted to order a withdrawal.
Elsa said, "I can give it a try."
"No way?" Rand looked at Elsa.
As the protagonist of the game "Deep Moon", Elsa naturally has some extraordinary skills.
But there’s no point learning it now.
"What do you mean we can't?" Elsa was puzzled. "Oleanna, come and help us. Our weapons are pretty good and we should be able to break through the defense."
Rand knew he had misunderstood.
There seems to be double monthly tickets at the end of the month, but it’s also good to vote for me now.
