In the early morning, every place in the small coastal country has fallen into silence.

In addition to the chewing sounds of tidal creatures, these tidal creatures are gnawing on human corpses.

The fish people are grilling animal carcasses to replenish their physical strength.

They were gathered around the campfire in small groups, chatting and laughing, bragging about how many weak and evil humans they had killed.

Beside one of the bonfires, there were five or six murloc soldiers sitting.

One of the nuggets wiped his oily mouth and looked at the octopus and minotaur next to him, "You two are useless.

"Each of us killed at least two humans last night, but what about you two? We only killed one land chicken in total. We really laughed to death."

These fish people laughed loudly.

Niuniu's fingers dug deeply into the sand beside the campfire, and Lao Ba's trumpet mouth trembled slightly under Moonlight.

They were forcibly brought here last night by the fishmen guards, and they threatened their parents' lives, but they really didn't want to hurt anyone.

Niuniu found that his compatriots had fallen into madness. On weekdays, he would even fight with the murlocs here, and they seemed quite normal at that time.

And after just one war, they turned into demons. What happened to this world?

Niuniu and Lao Ba had not thought about escaping, but they found that there were fishman guards behind them watching them;

And even if they can escape surveillance, there are still those sea beasts in the sea.

So they can't go back, and the brothers don't know where their future lies.

The north side of Mist-Shrouded City is closely adjacent to New Island, which is personally guarded by Red Hair. It is relatively safe, so there are not too many defensive facilities.

Within the city, residential areas and noble residences are clearly separated by towering city walls.

This civilian area is scattered in a relatively flat, open and vast area, creating convenient and comfortable conditions for people's daily life and mutual communication.

The towering walls of the inner city created a safe, worry-free, peaceful and peaceful living environment for the nobles.

The palace of King Vinese is located at the innermost side of the noble area. In addition, the king directly controls the army, and the army under his jurisdiction is built close to the palace.

Just because King Vinese has an out-of-the-box personality, loves martial arts competitions, and often goes in and out of the military camp, he is a military commander in his own right.

He loved that feeling. He was not like a traditional commander, but more like a brave and fearless general. He was intoxicated with the pride of leading the army to fight to the death with the enemy.

There is a rather long distance between the small seaside country and the civilian residential area of Mist-Shrouded City.

Most of the area in this distance is full of rugged and steep rocks and lush and deep woods. Dick is heading to New Island from here.

Not long after, more and more refugees fled from the small seaside country to Mist-Shrouded City in panic.

The fishmen could not completely kill all the people in a short time, so these people who became refugees took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The first thing they thought of was to ask for help from their king.

The refugees rushed into the civilian area of Mist-Shrouded City desperately, shouting at the top of their lungs toward the streets:

"It's not good, it's not good! Sea monsters and fish-men appeared on our beach, and it has become a hell on earth!"

These civilians howled in despair and cried miserably. The extremely miserable sound awakened many Mist-Shrouded City people.

Soon, the patrolling guards heard the sound and hurried over.

At this time, the guard leader in charge of the patrol, seeing the chaotic situation, hurriedly stopped the refugees, looked at the leading civilians, and said in a deep voice, "Calm down, everyone, and tell me what is going on?"

Seeing the majestic look on the soldier captain's face in front of him, the civilian suddenly felt that those fishmen and Monster were not so scary.

"Master, I was sleeping tonight, and suddenly I heard an earthquake all around me. I hurriedly ran out of the house and saw that the streets were full of those Monster."

"They are all Monster? What do they look like?" the soldier captain asked calmly.

"Moonlight shines on their blue-gray scales. The shortest one is as tall as two people.

The leading turtle knight was even more terrifying, with a lantern made of human skulls embedded in the turtle shell, and the blue phosphorus fire illuminated the entire street like an undersea cemetery.

Oh my gosh, I've never seen such a big turtle, it's bigger than a palace."

"Then why do you say these Monster are fishmen?"

"Sir, I have heard it. When I was a child, I heard my grandparents tell the legend of fish-men. They have green faces and fangs and are covered in scales. What else could they be if they weren't fish-men? They must have run out of the sea."

"Did you see their leader?"

"Leader?" The civilian lowered his head and thought carefully. "I didn't see their leader, but the fishmen and Monster were divided into several teams. The leader of each team was a tall Monster who held a trident, had a head similar to a dragon's head, and had a thick tail on his lower body.

"And they were shouting slogans."

"Slogan? What slogan?"

"They shouted that they wanted to avenge Sparta's parents, to make human beings pay for their debts with blood, and to kill these evil human beings."

Then, the civilian began to chatter again, and his words were somewhat incoherent.

The soldier captain has grasped the key point: Sparta...

Revenge for parents...

This fish man named Sparta must be the most important leader of this attack on Mist-Shrouded City.

"Now that New Island has been completely captured, what are Red Hair's troops doing?"

"They never appeared, but I saw a huge turtle crawling over from a distance, bringing many fish people and Monster with it. I'm afraid there has been..."

"Where is Red Hair?"

"We haven't seen him, but it is said that the guards who ran out of the mansion said that Red Hair died for his country!"

"I understand. I will inform King Vinese now. Don't worry, I believe the king will make arrangements for you."

After speaking, he didn't wait for the people's reaction, directly mounted his horse and galloped towards the palace.

In a room in the palace, Princess Ortega was sitting upright on the bed, thinking about something:

She once fell in love with Red Hair at first sight and insisted on asking her father to marry her to him, but Red Hair refused.

After some investigation, she found out that Red Hair secretly married a mermaid, and the wedding was held in a local chapel.

She was furious at the time and told her father about the incident, saying that Red Hair had a disobedient heart.

Afterwards, my father talked to Red Hair alone, and the next day he and Red Hair successfully got married.

After getting married, I wanted to kill the mermaid, and my husband did place the lower body of the mermaid in front of me. Now that I think about it, it was just a huge sea fish.

Although she expelled the priests in the small church after her marriage, and warned her husband several times that if he did not make peace with her, then the person in charge of New Island would be replaced.

At that time, my husband looked calm and did not say much. Instead, he spoke softly and comforted himself.

It seems that I was fooled then.
