Chapter 579: Sea clan's reaction

   Chapter 582 The reaction of the sea clan (wait a moment)

  In the sea, the shallow sea less than a hundred miles from the harbor city is where the royal court of the sea clan is located.

  Although it is on the bottom of the sea, the layout of the royal court of the sea clan is even richer and more gorgeous than the royal palace of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.

  In the natural karst cave, all kinds of jewels gleamingly decorate the royal court, all kinds of jewels and beautiful jade make the walls of the karst cave glow with various colors of light, and the huge coral ornaments on both sides shine like Christmas trees in festivals.

If you take a few decorations here, you can sell them for a good price in the human kingdom. If they were more valuable before the war started, they are just ordinary decorations in the royal court of the sea clan. Where the court is, it is a crystal palace.

The sea king is sitting on the main seat with the trident symbolizing the power of the sea clan, and the senior priests and bloodline generals of the sea clan below are lined up in two rows, standing respectfully, since the high priest and his fearful abyss whale After his death, the sea king gradually consolidated his power, and after a few months, he captured the sea clan with all his strength and strength, and became the real king of the sea.

However, since the withdrawal of power, Sea King has become more and more intolerable to the existence of the Harbour City, not only because the Harbour City is located in the Nanhai Clam Field, which is the key to the continuation of the Sea Race, but also because the Sea King believes in his heart, The presence of the city is a provocation to his power.

   Whenever he sits on the throne like now and looks at the submissive generals and priests of the sea clan below, he will think of the human city not far away, and a strong sense of humiliation will instantly flood into his heart.

   "Report to His Majesty the Sea King, the abyss giant whales are haunting the West Sea again, threatening the survival of the four ethnic groups. At least more than 100,000 people have disappeared, but the bloodline warriors and priests have already evacuated."

"Um."

   Sea King nodded, he didn't take it too seriously, as long as the bloodline warriors and priests were withdrawn.

   "Let them retreat to the east, and let the ethnic groups in the east be generous and not stop them, and let them go back when the deep-sea giant whales recede."

   "Time, Your Majesty."

It is not only the harbor city that poses a threat to the sea clan. The deep-sea giant whale is the existence that has always caused the sea clan a headache. The number of sea clan buried in the belly of the giant whale is no less than hundreds of thousands every year. These behemoths are stronger than dragons in the sea. There is almost no good way for the clan to take them, and they can only hide away. Anyway, the sea king with a large population of the sea clan is actually nothing, and it is not a big deal to lose hundreds of thousands a year.

The sea clan and the deep-sea giant whales have coexisted for many years. The sea clan has long been accustomed to the habit of the deep-sea giant whales, even if it is a matter of course to avoid it in the heart of the sea king, there are not a few deep-sea giant whales that devour several groups every year. The sea king is not used to things, but humans are different. In the circle of the ocean, humans are forced to squeeze in. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of years of running-in, from the sea king down, the entire sea clan is very repelled.

   "Your Majesty, there is another problem with the weapons traded with humans."

"what happened?"

Just now, when it was said that more than 100,000 sea clans were swallowed by deep-sea giant whales, Sea King's face was calm and there was almost no fluctuation, but when the following people mentioned humans, Sea King frowned, he always felt that mentioning human beings. Nothing good for humans.

   "Humans say that the source of their weapons is restricted, the price of these weapons will increase, and it is uncertain whether the trade will continue."

   "How much are they going to increase the price?"

  “uh”

   "Ten times."

"boom!"

   "I've never seen a race as greedy as humans!"

   An angry Neptune slapped his palm on his throne. The throne made of coral and crystal was not strong, and a corner flew off when Neptune slapped it.

Most of the weapons used by sea warriors are primitive weapons fixed by sharp shells, sharp stones and seaweeds. Weapons made of swordfish bones are considered high-end goods. The armor is simply made of hard shells and seaweed. , As for the role of these equipment, it can only be said that it is stronger than empty hands.

   Is the sea clan not wanting to use metal weapons? Of course not, it's just that the sea clan who mainly live in the sea have no alchemy craftsmanship. They have no ability to make metal weapons at all. Metal equipment grabbed from humans generally does not last long, and the sea water will soon corrode. After the metal equipment they looted, it won't take long for these weapons, which were originally extremely sharp on the shore, to be rusted and easily broken. Even sharp stone axes are not as good as tetanus swords.

However, there are exceptions to all things. Some fine weapons made by dwarves have the effect of putting corrosion, and they can be used for a long time even in the humid environment of the sea. After discovering this weapon, it took several twists and turns to contact the human nobles in the south, and buy this kind of corrosive weapon from the dwarves.

Although before coming from Paley, the kingdom has always prohibited the trading of any metal weapons to the sea clan, especially the sophisticated equipment made by the dwarves, but the trade profit is too high. It can even generate twenty times the profit, which is enough to drive anyone crazy.

All this kind of weapon trading has been banned repeatedly, and the sea clan has also bought a batch of weapons that can be equipped with tens of thousands of elite royal court weapons. When the sea clan ravaged the south on a large scale last time, Paley found that the sea clan equipment The proportion of dwarf weapons is a bit high, which once again strengthened the attack on the smuggling trade of weapons, but they could not bear the sea clan to raise the purchase price again, and some people were still willing to take the risk and buy weapons for the sea clan.

But this time, Paley cut off the supply of this kind of weapons smuggling directly from the source. In the future, he monopolized all the weapons in Shiqiuzhiyuan. The nobles in the south all wanted to see Paley's face, no matter how big they were. The risk of being discovered is greatly increased when bulk purchases are made to the Hai Clan. Therefore, it is not incomprehensible to directly increase the price of the only goods by ten times. After all, what is rare is more expensive.

  After Neptune smashed the handle of the chair, the senior members of the sea clan below did not dare to speak. Since the death of the high priest, Neptune's majesty has become more and more serious. After waiting for a long time, someone carefully proposed:

   "Your Majesty, these humans are really hateful. Otherwise, when we trade, we will kill them directly and grab the weapons."

  Because of the fear of being discovered by Paley's subordinates, this kind of transaction is usually made by those daring nobles who send their weapons to the sea by boat, and complete the transaction with the sea clan from the sea to reduce the risk of being discovered.

This kind of transaction method must be established under the condition that the sea clan abides by the contract. After all, the sea is always the home of the sea clan. If the sea clan has any crooked thoughts, the weapons, ships and people can disappear at sea without a trace. Not a trace could be found.

   However, although this proposal is very tempting, Neptune, who has calmed down a little, still rejects it:

   "Don't you just want some stones, there are some in the sea, just buy this batch of goods at the price they said, don't do anything else, just trade normally."

Although the sea king is angry, he is not mindless. Usually the sea clan robs the merchant ships that come and go, and even goes ashore to loot it is a trivial matter. Generally, he does not bother to ask, but if he is willing to take risks and trade with the sea clan The aristocrats of weapons were robbed, and no one would dare to buy weapons for the Sea Clan after that.

Although the tenfold increase in price is a black heart, it is nothing more than exchange for some rare treasures in the sea. These things are valuable on the human side, but in the sea clan, it is just a waste of time to collect. It is not unacceptable, but the other party said The real trouble is that future transactions may not necessarily be able to continue.

I finally found a metal weapon that can be used in the sea. I have already equipped a lot of bloodline warriors and sea guards. If it is gone, do I have to go back to the previous state? In any case, try to stabilize this one. Trade channels, where can you directly rob.

   "Yes, Your Majesty."

   Seeing that Sea King still decided to continue to use the method of trading to obtain weapons, the people below also changed their faces very quickly. They were still full of righteous indignation just now, but they regained their calm.

   "If you have nothing to do, let's leave today."

   "Your Majesty, the emergency report over there."

   Just as Neptune was about to leave, a sea guard swam into the cave at a very fast speed, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"whats the matter?"

   "Humanity is expanding that city!"

  Boom

   The inside of the hall, which had been restored to silence, exploded in one fell swoop.

  The human city on the clams field can be said to be the most sensitive point of the sea clan. Now I hear that the human beings are planning to expand the city, and the people present are a little bit uneasy.

   "Where's the general in charge of the patrol? What does Yunus eat, why didn't he stop him?"

   "Master Yunus led someone to stop it, and was hacked to death by a human sword. The sea guards on the land of the clam were all driven down by humans!"

   "Damn! Humans are courting death!"

   Aquaman, who had always wanted to pull out of Harbour City, could no longer bear it this time~lightnovelpub.net~ and made a decision almost in an instant.

   "General Diwu!"

   "Your Majesty!"

   "Immediately bring 50,000 sea patrolling guards to the mussel field, and let all the surrounding ethnic groups gather at the mussel field."

   "Yes, Your Majesty!"

   "Priest Lorwyn!"

   "Your Majesty!"

   "Prepare all the priests in the sacrificial temple, and immediately follow the army to the mussel field."

   "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After    made his decision, Sea King was not polite, and used the strongest force in his hand to rush to Harbour City.

   After a few orders, the ordinary sea warriors used as cannon fodder must gather at least one million. As for the sea patrolling guards led by Di Wu, they are the essence of the royal court. These sea patrolling guards are not comparable to those of the sea clan cannon fodder soldiers who can kill a few ordinary people. The weak quasi-knights are quite similar, and half of them are equipped with smuggled dwarf weapons. In addition, a large number of priests are accompanying, and the Sea King will not move, and will completely overthrow the harbor city.
