Alien Knights

Hot topics in the kingdom are like the sea water in the tide, rising and setting today.

The matter between Randall and Barbara slowly faded out of people's sight after a month of settlement after a fruitless trial.

The most talked about topic in the streets and alleys has changed to new immigrants appearing on the sea in Duixi City.

Another group of undersea creatures abandoned their homes in the deep sea and came to seek refuge with the Dragon God, begging for protection.

Todd, who transformed into a dragon, was perched on the hills of Waiheke Island, looking at a group of strange creatures lying in the sea on the coast not far away.

It has a shark-shaped head, thick limbs, sharp shark spines, and wide webbed feet.

Part shark, part human.

Todd was stunned for a while, then asked: "You said you also received the revelation from the ancient ocean god?"

The leader of the shark men raised his head and said in half-baked common language: "Black plague, swallowing, home is gone, food is gone, the ancient god said, go east, dragon."

Although it was sporadic and some words were pronounced with wrong syllables, Todd still understood what the shark leader meant.

"What is your name? Where is your home?"

The leading shark man tilted his head and thought for a while, then said with difficulty: "I, Yege, home, six corals, ring mother..."

Todd was a little confused: "Where is that place?"

"Let me tell you!"

Mermaid Rita, who was standing in the sea and couldn't stand it, turned the fork in her hand and looked at the shark man with disgust: "These guys live on the seabed four hundred kilometers west of the coast, in the Liudao Trench and the ring volcano They live not far from us."

Todd looked at the mermaid: "Do you know each other?"

Rita curled her lips: "I would rather I had never seen these rude, ugly, stupid fish."

Jaeger climbed up from the sea, opened his huge mouth full of fangs, and roared: "Mermaid! Thief! Liar! Breaking promises!"

These few sentences were spoken very fluently, and I must have said them frequently.

With this sigh, Todd asked: "There is enmity between your two races?"

Ignoring Jaeger's anger, Rita shook her head: "It's not about enmity, but the fishing grounds of mermaids and sharkmen are adjacent to each other. Because of food and territory, there have been fights for hundreds of years."

Yeager gritted his teeth and said: "The ancient gods forbid war, but we must tolerate it."

Todd finally understood what was going on.

It is not surprising that these marine races created by Leviathan under the sea, although they canonized him as a god, often fight among themselves for survival.

However, in just a few months, the black substance that can turn living creatures into undead began to spread again, and has spread to the deep sea hundreds of kilometers away. Things are developing in the worst direction.

Rita looked at the group of sharks and asked strangely: "Why are you alone? Where are the Mangat Seahorse Tribe and the Quechima Barracuda Tribe?"

Yege said in a deep voice: "Plague, under the sea, they failed to escape."

Rita opened her eyes wide and stopped moving her hands, her face showing sadness and pain: "There are many good people among them."

Todd stretched out the dragon's head in front of Jaeger and Rita, and said, "I need an introduction to the situation under the sea in the recent period. Tell me everything you know, especially the black plague that has swept everything. "

Yege leaned down, not daring to look directly at the dragon, and whispered in a hopeful tone: "We, bless you, help!"

Todd flapped his dragon wings and stirred up waves on the coast: "I promise to protect you. You and your people can live in the sea west of Waiheke Island."

Compared to the frightened Jaeger, Rita, who was already familiar with Todd's character, complained: "Supreme Dragon God, do we really want to be neighbors with these stupid fish?"

Todd glanced at Rita: "Residing, fishing, trading, entering the city... I will also give the shark people the same rights as the mermaid people. I don't care what grudges you have before, in the waters of Duixi City, I will not I hope to see fighting and fighting in any form and for any reason!”

Yege patted his chest and promised loudly: "We swear! Listen to the dragon's orders!"

Rita sighed helplessly and glanced at Jaeger with disgust.

Leaving these uneasy neighbors behind, Todd rose into the sky and flew towards the palace.

Todd, who landed on the ground and slowly transformed into a human form, took the robe from Evie and walked towards the king's audience room with a solemn expression.

Evie, who had never seen Todd so serious before, asked, "What happened?"

Todd asked as he walked: "Has there been any response from the team sent by the North Island Knights to conduct reconnaissance in the western waters?"

Evie was a little surprised by Todd's question, but she immediately answered: "Last week, I sent three more fleets to their mission locations, but so far, there is still no news."

Evie looked at Todd and asked again: "Can't you contact them in the soul space?"

Todd said with a worried look: "If the people of the North Island Knights are still alive, I should be able to contact them; but if they die, their souls should have returned to heaven after completing the soul link."

"But the current situation is that I have no way to contact them, and their souls have not returned to heaven."

"Could it be that their souls were blocked by something?" Ivie guessed: "Like the forbidden magic ore used by the Presbyterian Church?"

"If it's just the Forbidden Demon Ore, then maybe there's still room for change, but I'm worried about a worse situation."

"What's worse?"

"The tyrant on the west coast of the empire is leaked, and the consequences may be more serious than we imagined. Marine creatures are turning into undead in large numbers. If this happens on land, imagine the huge chaos that will occur."

Evie suddenly remembered something: "The person who went on the mission this time is the deputy leader of the North Island Knights... Little Jerry, he is loyal but upright. I am worried that he will not know how to retreat when encountering a situation."

The worry on Todd's face worsened.

In his mind, he thought of the child who had been following him in obscurity since the monastery, doing everything he could to help.

In Todd's impression, Jerry was shy, timid and even a little dull, but as long as his friends were involved, he would become the bravest warrior and face any threats and challenges.

Todd walked to the door of the audience room, turned around and said to Ivie: "Send the Valkyrie Griffin team to the location where the North Island Knights fleet last appeared."

The latter nodded, glanced at Todd, and asked softly: "If, I mean if, something unexpected happens to Little Jerry's fleet, what should the Valkyries choose?"

Todd's hand stopped in mid-air, and his whole body stood still for a moment, as if the air had solidified. Finally, he spoke in a low voice: "Recovering the sample of the Necromancer Tyrant is the top priority."
