Chapter 674: Rhodes Island Approaches the Center
Chapter 674: Rhodes Island Approaches the Center
Outside the Norbert area, in the wilderness.
A small team slowly advanced towards this lonely piece of land in the wilderness under the cover of night.
"Vina, you don't have to be nervous. Qi Yan has already gone to the Norbert District in advance. He will definitely help take care of your friends there."
Mudstone followed Vina and soothed her softly.
Along the way, as everyone in the Rhodes Island team analyzed, Vina also revealed that she had friends from the Glasgow Gang in the Norbert District, and everyone was very worried about the current situation in the Norbert District.
The only thing that made people feel a little comforted was that Qi Yan suddenly bit a piece of source stone and ran away happily, and no one could catch up with him.
Qi Yan's escape direction was exactly the Norbert District.
With Qi Yan as a backup, there are at least only two possibilities left for the Norbert District.
Either all are killed, or they are reborn into a paradise on the battlefield.
People tend to prefer the latter.
Vina smiled at Mud Rock and shook her head.
"I'm not actually worried about Baird's safety. With her pretty face, Qi Yan will definitely protect her well."
Mudstone: “…”
"Then what are you nervous about?" Mudstone asked.
"I don't know how Baird spent this time after I left." Vina said sadly, "She stayed alone in Londinium and didn't leave with us. She lived alone under the rule of the Sarkaz. Now that I suddenly go back to find her, will she still be willing to look at me the same way as before?"
"You...don't you think it's a bit chilling that you're doing this?" Mudstone said softly.
"what?"
"Are you doubting yourself or your friends?"
"..."
For a moment, Vina didn't know how to answer.
Mudstone held Vina's hand and comforted her softly:
"I believe she has been waiting for you. Although I don't know her, I know you. I believe your friends will believe in you as much as I do."
Vina looked at the gentle Sarkaz girl in front of her and smiled gratefully.
"We are about to reach the Norbert District. Everyone, please stay hidden."
Amiya at the front of the team suddenly warned.
Everyone fell silent immediately and lowered their heads to look at Amiya.
Amiya's face was tense at this moment. Ever since Qi Yan escaped, the air pressure around her had become frighteningly low.
During the past few days, when the team was marching, Amiya would hide and secretly practice her violin during breaks.
In fact, everyone knows that Qi Yan ran away simply because he couldn't sit still.
But Amiya was obsessed with comparing herself with Arturo.
In the past, Qi Yan took Arturo with him wherever he went in Leitania, but this time he escaped without Amiya, which made Amiya so angry that she almost bit someone.
Seeing Amiya's expression, Thorn and Huang in the team looked at each other and prayed to Shuiyue tacitly:
"May Qi Yan rest in peace."
Shuiyue:?
Kelsey stood beside Amiya, pursed her lips, and said soothingly:
"This is not your fault. If you really want to, you can put the blame on the doctor for Qi Yan's escape."
"what?"
Amiya came back to her senses from her anger and asked in confusion: "The Doctor isn't even in the team, why is he related to the Doctor?"
"He insisted on looking for Clovisia, which caused him to be separated from the team. If he was in the team, he would definitely have predicted Qi Yan's behavior."
Kal'tsit was playing with a syringe in her hand, and a cold light flashed at the tip of the syringe.
She said expressionlessly, “In this land, there are always people who get lost in their own thoughts. Some people may need some reminders to remember what they should do.
Qi Yan aside, the doctor may need to return to Rhode Island for another physical examination. I have already made plans for his head monitoring."
“No… not really.”
Amiya immediately gave up the idea of sulking and began to comfort Kal'tsit instead.
At this moment, Klushel raised her hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.
She pressed the communicator hanging on her ear and listened carefully to the vague content coming from it with a frown.
As the frequency captured by the communicator became clearer and clearer, Klushel's expression gradually became exaggerated:
"It was Qi Yan who made the broadcast. He must have completely taken control of the Norbert District and is broadcasting the news of the Norbert District's independence!"
"Again?" Huang exclaimed strangely, "What branch is he going to build this time?"
"It's the Victoria branch."
Krusier smiled bitterly and said, "He also said that he has mastered the secret of mass production of airships, and he also has Victoria's crown prince and the Breath of the Sword Kings in his hands. He sincerely invites all the dukes to come and trade."
Everyone:?
All eyes turned to Vina who had a confused look on her face in the team.
"How much is he going to sell me for?" Vina asked.
Everyone:? ?
Huang approached with a strange expression and was about to say something, but Lucille, contrary to her usual behavior, did not get involved in the topic. Instead, she made a "hide" gesture with her hand.
Everyone looked for cover immediately and hid themselves perfectly in the wilderness in a few breaths.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a sneaky guy like a big black rat slipped into the encirclement.
The visitor was wearing a top hat, a black coat, his collar turned up high to cover his face, and jeweled attire on his body, as if he was afraid that he would reflect light and be seen.
Vina recognized the man's attire at a glance; it was the grey top hat worn by the Duke of Caster's men.
She turned her head to look at Amiya, and when she saw the other party nod, she immediately clenched the hammer and waited for the gray hat to approach.
Everyone in the Rhodes Island team held their breath, waiting for Vina to hit Gray Hat first, and then everyone started a righteous fight.
"Where are they? I just saw the Rhodes Island team here."
The man in the gray hat poked his head around and looked around, muttering to himself, "What's going on? I can't even get a leg up when I want to. I've already prepared a lot of high-value intelligence as a token of my loyalty."
As he spoke, he took a step forward and just entered Vina's charging range.
Without any hesitation, Vina raised her hammer and jumped out from behind the cover. She flipped her body in the air and gathered all her strength to swing the hammer at the man in the gray hat's head.
The man in the gray hat screamed and rolled on the spot to dodge without any image, but ended up running head-on into the goat's furry arms.
Shan held Gray Hat's hand with one hand and tightly grasped his neck with the other hand. Although his palm was furry and warm, the strength it exuded made Gray Hat feel the coldness of death approaching.
"Mercy, sir, please spare my life!"
Gray Hat's voice became shrill with fear: "I came to join you. I know the conspiracy that the Sarkaz are preparing in the Shard!"
Shan's hand, which was about to break the neck of the man in the gray hat, stopped, but he did not relax at all, and looked at Kal'tsit who came out from behind the cover.
Kal'tsit came to the front of the mountain and nodded:
"Let him go. He deliberately showed weakness and was caught by us."
Shan's arms loosened and his gray top hat fell to the ground with a thud. He looked up and saw Vina's hammer quietly floating in front of the brim of his hat.
The Rhodes Island soldiers also surrounded him, staring at the guy in front of them with a fierce look.
The man in the gray hat squatted on the ground, raised his hands above his head to salute everyone, and took the initiative to say:
"I know the real purpose of the Sarkaz in starting the war. I also believe that everyone in Rhodes Island came here to prevent the outbreak of war. Your Excellency the Duke thinks the same way. We are in the same camp!"
"What tricks are you guys planning to play?"
Vina would not be fooled by such nonsense and moved the hammer in her hand forward a little.
Gray Hat shrank his neck in fear and said honestly:
"His Excellency the Duke realized that we really cannot defeat Qi Yan and His Highness who has the support of Rhodes Island, so he wants to submit to His Highness.
I have a handwritten letter from His Excellency the Duke here, please have a look at it."
As he said this, the man in the gray hat tried to take something out of his arms, but was knocked down by Vina's hammer.
Gray Hat:?
"Who knows if you are going to draw your weapon?" Vina asked.
"Then your highness, are you coming?"
The man in the grey hat opened his arms cautiously, only to be hit by the hammer again.
In his dizzy vision, Vina said angrily:
"You still dare to act like a hooligan?!"
Gray Hat: ? ?
He tried to cover his head, lay on the ground and looked up at Vina carefully.
Is this really Her Majesty Victoria?
Are you sure you weren't replaced by the legendary Qi Yan?
"Then...then what do you say we should do?" the man in the gray hat said aggrievedly.
Vina frowned and pondered for a moment, then relaxed her brows and raised the hammer high:
"Even if you beat me to death, I can still look through the things in your arms."
Gray Hat: ???
