Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1338: Chapter 1128: Crisis in the Border Kingdom

Hill wondered if Shaer agreed willingly to the destruction of such a powerful Divine Artifact, and if it would ultimately lead to its demise.

However, he was somewhat reassured about William’s unstable romance in his heart... At least Shaer was seriously interacting with William, not just offering verbal concessions and sweet talk.

In the previous instances, although Shaer’s various approaches had indeed softened considerably, she hadn’t stopped benefiting.

Despite the fact that the Lady of the Night had a ruthless style, she was not one to withhold flattering words, at least Cyric had heard plenty.

Because Shaer had always valued her dignity and didn’t like to use her beauty, Hill didn’t overly doubt this cross-world romance... But there was always a tinge of concern in his heart.

When the Divine Artifact on top of the Twin Towers was completely destroyed, Hill felt he wouldn’t have any more qualms... He trusted William’s integrity fairly well.

”Hm?” Hill said, surprised, looking at the battle situation on the Anmur side: ”Went straight into the city? No resistance at all? But weren’t there still many people left inside?”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ looked a bit confused, gazing at the wide-open gates of Asterkara, his voice even changed tone: ”Anmur’s swine really only left a group of women?”

The Mage Corps Commander and Swordsmen Corps Commander, who had already quickly checked through the Anmur capital, confirmed the answer for him... No men, only women and boys who could only be held in their mothers’ arms, most of them still infants.

Many girls under 12 years old have been taken away, as long as they looked a little prettier.

”Damn it! This dog place!” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ cursed vehemently.

No one’s a fool; who doesn’t see the Anmur Nobles and merchants scheming?

Knowing what the Undead Tribe was doing in Kalinsan, that group of bastards intended to use these women, worthless in their eyes, to drain the Undead Tribe’s food supplies.

The remnants swept by the Divine Beasts in Kalinsan couldn’t be compared to the reputed Asterkara that could rival Deepwater City.

”We made some initial estimates, more than 200,000.” A Female Mage spoke sadly, ”Some braver girls said a few words to us, they’re from nearby villages, captured and brought to Asterkara five days ago.

Besides the prettiest girls who were sent onto carriages, the others... were given as rewards to the army that protected them.

They don’t mind this, anyway, Anmur women have always been... sold by their fathers after adulthood.

The only advantage of Noble girls in this damn country is being sold to only one man, only after he dies will they be sold to the next family.

They are now just afraid of starving to death.

Those bastards left without giving them any food... they hid a little themselves, but most is left for mothers who need to feed their children, still many moms with kids are without meals.

Most people have already gone hungry for two days, we...”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ waved his hand: ”Don’t worry about spy issues, for us this is nothing.

Anmur People intentionally left so many, isn’t it just to cover for those spies?

They... have no idea how many oil paintings we have, nor how vast and sealed the spaces are!”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ raised his chin: ”If there were millions, we’d worry a bit... It would delay us too much!

Two hundred thousand? Who do they think they are underestimating?

Directly bring out that small square Gerns used, hang up a Demigod Level oil painting!

Hehe~

By the way, to prevent overly shocked Anmur Girls from being afraid to interact with men, let our ladies escort them!

Of course... you know, those naive, good-hearted people prone to kindness-induced conversation should be excluded from this!

We mainly focus on appearance, as they can’t tell the difference.”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ crossed his arms and thought carefully for a while, then he turned to the less talkative Battlefield Clan Chief: ”Hey~ Old Zhan, there’s something only your clan can do~”

”If you didn’t bring that playful vibrato, I might agree more straightforwardly.” Battlefield Clan Chief said without raising his head.

”Ah~ Boring and dull man.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said with a grin, ”It’s no big deal! Just asking your clan to dismantle a city!

Your family’s tens of thousands of big-horned cattle would find this job easy, right?”

”What did Asterkara do to provoke you?” Battlefield Clan Chief asked bewilderedly, ”Moreover, aren’t there still so many women?

Once they’re out from the Oil Painting Plaza, do you want them to camp out, sleep under the stars?”

”Tsk~” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said in an unkind manner, ”That’s why you straight men have no brains at all.

We won’t stay in Anmur in the future, these women don’t even have Professionals, how could they defend the city?

Leaving them money and food is just handing things over!”

”Didn’t we capture a lot of Anmur Navy?”

”I truly didn’t expect you to ask something like this~ Old Zhan...” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ turned back with a startled look, ”Have you been soaking your feet too much recently, did your mind also soak away?

Do I have a major ailment to send women to captives?

More than 10,000 Navy is enough to torment all the girls here, isn’t it?”

”Ah... I was being dumb!” Battlefield Clan Chief slapped his head hard, ”I forgot the soldiers here should actually be called Pirates.”

”Let those navy folks languish at the Oil Painting Camp for a few days,” Snow Cloud Peak said casually, ”If any come to some self-reflection, then let them out.”

”What if none do?”

”If none, then keep them locked up until we leave Anmur, let them bask a bit more in the warming sunshine.”

”So... these girls, where do you plan to send them in the future?” Qiuqiu, who had rushed over, asked with a serious face.

”Why did you suddenly come back?”

”I remember, in Hill’s fruit and vegetable store, you can buy those milk fruits, right?” Qiuqiu said sympathetically, ”The price isn’t high; I want to ask someone to bring me some.

Many of them have been starving to the point of losing their milk, and the children keep crying.”

”I’ll have someone go and tell Lynn.” Snow Cloud Peak glanced at her, ”However, Hill sells them at such a low price because Agleya’s elves habitually use them to feed the children.

I also don’t know how much stock Hill has; if Lynn disagrees with sacrificing the elves’ interests, just don’t worry too much.

Just send them some fine grains; kids here in Toril can survive on rice soup and fish broth.

Understand?”

”I understand.” Qiuqiu quickly looked up at him, ”I won’t sacrifice my own people’s interests to satisfy my sympathy!”

”That’s good.” Snow Cloud Peak thought for a moment and still told a male mage behind him, ”Cloud Smoke, you handle this.

I don’t want Qiuqiu to start talking with a crying tone.

How would Lynn think?

Qiuqiu, go do what you should be doing! Why are you still hanging around here?

Sending them somewhere, is that something to discuss now? When will you use your brains?”

Qiuqiu gave Snow Cloud Peak a dumbfounded look, flicked her big red braid, and ran off quickly.

The Battlefield Clan Chief peeked over and patted Snow Cloud Peak’s shoulder admiringly: ”Old Dog, I finally understand why Baldy always says, you’re fated to be single.

If you do get married, divorce would be the best outcome... otherwise, it’d be you dead and her gone.”

Snow Cloud Peak disdainfully rolled his eyes: ”What are women?

They make you stop fighting, prevent you from going online! They make you stop playing with everyone, only staying with her every day!

If I just want to play with one person, why would I even come into this game?”

The command group members standing around him twisted their faces, watching Snow Old Dog’s madness.

Cloud Smoke calmly spoke: ”Don’t mind him, he just got beat up and kicked by his new girlfriend.

This time, the reason was Old Dog saying even Hydra is more considerate than that lady, knowing when to disappear.”

Before Snow Old Dog could turn to curse him, Cloud Smoke calmly spoke: ”Nanci happens to be in Agleya, I had him go to talk with Lynn.”

”Huh?” Snow Cloud Peak, knowing Cloud Smoke was diverting the topic, nevertheless got distracted, ”How could Nanci die?

Isn’t he responsible for commanding our own big ship?”

”Ink Brush’s game, many people find it quite fun; and we do have magic crossbow arrows on our ship.”

”Why is a ranger wearing elf leather armor, and without a magic shield, so confident?” Snow Cloud Peak murmured.

”Road Eunuch sent news.”

Cloud Smoke successfully diverted attention again, Snow Cloud Peak no longer bothered with this old friend exposing him: ”They arrived at the Border Kingdom?”

”Yes. And, invitations to major auctions have all been delivered.

Road Eunuch asked if they can go shopping first.”

”Ah... Of course they can.” Snow Cloud Peak chuckled, ”The escort mission is completed, let them do as they please.”

Cloud Smoke gave him a speechless look: ”Is this the very reason you insisted on sending the Apocalyptic Boss over?

No wonder you’re always afraid of Young Master coming over; if they start fighting at the auction house... it’d be a complete loss!”

”Not really.” Snow Cloud Peak said lightly, ”See, although the Apocalyptic Boss is stationed at Yinbutu, appearing strong, but not too familiar with the Border Kingdom!

But they’re very familiar with Kalinsan.

In the Karin Desert, those black plunderers, and the pirate raiders on the Sea of Radiance, aren’t they all fencing stolen goods in the Border Kingdom?

In the past two years, Wenjian and those folks, when bored, have almost turned Kalinsan into a children’s playground.

Especially below Kalinsan, the Sea of Radiance, with seven or eight magic huge ships parked, which pirate group can have fun?

So... If the universally acknowledged Wenjian leader Young Master arrives at the Border Kingdom, maybe those folks won’t dare act... They don’t realize, Young Master can only manage one or two ships himself.”

”Apocalyptic... Forget it, having more fights is not a bad thing, who cares if Road Eunuch is tired?”
