Chapter 128 Half-dead Rat
The wizard turned the soil under Lynch into a stone bed. Lynch lay on the stone bed in boredom. The vigorous wind of life was better than nothing to him.
He had never been so lonely.
Lynch once thought that he liked quietness, but when he lay down weakly, he inevitably missed the chirping lizards at the Huangqi Gate.
The liveliness can dilute the powerless loneliness.
Lynch wasn't paying attention and rolled over, successfully breaking several newly grown cartilages.
In desperation, Teclis used alchemy to create chains and bound the lizardman to the bed.
I hope that this fragile resistance for a cold-blooded creature will allow him to remember his own condition when he turns over.
Lynch hated the feeling of powerlessness and weakness, and he now desperately wanted Asul to say something and pass the time with interesting stories from foreign countries.
As if hearing Lynch's call, the magical message from the south was received by Teclis.
The archmage unlocked the lock and opened the letter sent from Twilight Fortress to all Asur. When he found that the content was not confidential, he read it to Lynch.
This is a message that is both a warning and a cry for help.
Druzy's infamous Black Ark, the Tower of Blessed Evil, broke through the encirclement of Twilight Fortress and the Star Tower's naval fleet.
Nearly a hundred eagle ships were sunk, and dozens of dragon ships were shattered by anti-military magic before they could get close to the Black Ark.
The Druzy spies lurking in the colonies took the opportunity to stir up unrest, and thousands of Asur disappeared.
Most of them are residents of the Star Tower.
The Star Tower is located on the volcanic islands east of Lustria, and further north is the infamous Vampire Coast.
There are only two main islands in the volcanic archipelago. The Star Tower is located on the small island in the south, and Lynch is more familiar with the larger island in the north.
There is a rebuilt temple city there.
The City of the Dead was destroyed by demons during the Cataclysm and was later colonized by elves.
When the stars tell the Slann that it's time to restore the city, they awaken the volcano and destroy the once-glorious elven colony.
Asur learned his lesson and stopped going near the temple ruins. Instead, he rebuilt his overseas settlement far away from the City of the Dead.
Careful not to come into contact with active Skinks, the Elven miners focus on mining for gems and rare metals around the City of the Dead.
This is one of the few important resource locations of Asul overseas.
On a small island in the south, there is an ancient relic containing powerful magical power, which is the Star Tower.
Spellcasters from the Kingdom of Safri come regularly to perform secret rituals, and the island's defenses are at their strongest at this time.
Lord Kraken led his pirate sailors to visit the Volcanic Islands during this time.
Druzil first issued a declaration of war to Twilight Fortress and Star Tower with a limited time limit, and then quietly waited for the attack of the Asur fleet in the waters of the Volcanic Islands.
The Asur fleet, known as the ruler of the sea, set up a siege but was easily defeated. Lord Kraken personally led his army to plunder the Asur colony.
With the help of spies from both inside and outside, the colony that had existed for a long time was completely destroyed.
Fortunately, the wizard Safri, who was performing a ceremony in the Star Tower, used the power of ancient relics to repel the Druzi slave-hunting team.
But those Asur who were abducted in the chaos have lost hope of being rescued.
In the south, the Swordmaster of Hoeth sent by Teclis to Twilight Keep discovered clues of Druzil's activities within the fortress.
This allowed the Asur to be prepared and not be caught off guard like their counterparts in the north.
Even so, Twilight Fortress suffered heavy losses in Druzi's raid.
It took them a long time to quell the civil unrest, and only today are the tail ends of the turmoil slowly fading away.
Lynch could guess that the admiral of the Tower of God's Blessed Evil Party was probably holding a carnival party to celebrate the fruitful results of the plunder.
…
At noon, in the vast ocean, on the legendary black ark.
Roxia.FallenHeart left the celebrating Druzy and walked to the edge of the moving island.
Under the cold gaze of Lord Kraken, a rotten Leviathan floated to the surface.
The Leviathan's boat-sized eyeball was dead silent, and beneath its rotten skin were plastic tubes like blood vessels and dimensional stone machinery of unknown purpose.
The whale's back had lost its flesh and skin, and between the crisscrossed whale bones, a funny red flag poked out, swaying weakly in the sea breeze.
Through the whale bones, you can see the strange-looking deck and dimensional stone power pump in the whale's belly.
Dense swarms of undead ratmen were busy in it. The admiral of the strange ship, "Half-dead Rat" Skokchi, whipped the slaves, making them raise the platform they were on.
It didn't take long for Skokchi to see the tall figure of Lord Kraken.
The sea overlord of Druzie gazes silently upon the Scarbruce, a living monster-ship, a monstrous creation of necromancy.
"He doesn't welcome you, a servant of the vampire."
"Skokchi is not! Not the Count's slave, we are collaborators, yes, yes."
This monster submarine, which was finely modified by the ratmen using dimensional devices, is worthy of Lord Kraken's attention, but that's all.
"Tell me what you want, or he'll chop off your head!"
The Warlock Tower on the Black Ark noticed the uninvited guest, and when they found that their master was confronting the newcomer, the sorceress mobilized the power of Dal, causing brilliant colors of destruction to float in the air to boost the admiral's power.
The half-dead rat shrank back, for it knew the bad reputation of this Druzy.
Skokchi was once the scourge of Tilia's coastline.
And Lord Kraken is the nightmare of all coastal areas.
After the Tower of God's Blessing for Evil carried its young master out to sea for the first time, it began its legendary second half of life.
"The Count wants to cooperate with you! Cooperation! Treasures have appeared in the ocean, many, many things are around the storm."
Skokchi looked at the hideous Siren mask, and as his gaze lingered for a moment, the mask seemed to be alive... the tentacles seemed to be dancing ferociously.
The half-dead rat was inexplicably frightened, and added in a trembling, shrill voice.
"The Dreadfleet can give you a lot of gold! Gold and slaves."
Lord Kraken became interested. He had heard that the Supreme Sorceress was chasing storms in an attempt to obtain the treasures in the storms.
Unfortunately, that powerful witch had cast a shadow on the treasure like a black dragon, and Loxia did not want to anger the Witch King's Mother.
But he can take advantage of this opportunity! If he can help the Supreme Sorceress obtain the treasure, the status of the Fallen Heart Family will surely rise step by step.
Why not take this opportunity to gain the favor of both the Vampire Fleet and the Supreme Sorceress at the same time.
“He’s listening.”
Druzy looked down at the half-dead rat greedily, ready to gain greater benefits.
Skokchi smiled cunningly. It was equally greedy, otherwise it would not have been sent by the Count to contact the Siren Lord.
The count's will echoed in its mind. The half-dead rat rolled its eyes and began to negotiate with Druzy using a combination of intimidation and inducement.
