The failed return of General Gilbert caused panic in Pirate Bay. As soon as they heard that the evil spirit had come nearby, everyone immediately ran home, packed up their luggage, dragged their families out of their houses, and rushed to the dock.
.
In an instant, the dock was blocked. Only two large merchant ships were docked at Pirate Bay, and the large number of boarders forced them to leave the port early. Even the small and medium-sized fishing boats in the port were crowded and swaying.
Leaving the port awkwardly.
The Earl of Pirate Bay also took his soldiers on board one of the merchant ships early, called the Golden Pearl. Along with him were General Gilbert and a magician who called herself Lilith.
"General Gilbert, I feel sorry for what happened to Prince Jean and you. No one will doubt your loyalty. It was your decision that saved so many civilians in our Pirate Bay. Thanks to you."
The Earl of Pirate Bay grabbed Gilbert's hand and said hypocritically. Gilbert said with a straight face: "I will not forget my mission. When I send you to the Islands, I will go back to Sand City to find Jean."
prince."
"I believe that one day, you and Prince Jean will come back with an army and drive these undead back to their graves."
"That day will come. I'm sorry, Lord Earl, but I need some fresh air to calm my mind."
"Oh, of course! Your Majesty General, this kind of boat is very uncomfortable, I know that, so I also..."
Before the count could finish speaking, Gilbert had already stood up, turned around and left the room. He didn't want to say anything more to the man who had abandoned a large number of people and ordered the ship to leave the harbor.
He walked to the deck. The waves were a little violent. The ship was like a sharp sword, cutting through waves one after another. The waves suddenly splashed from both sides of the bow, and then there was a shock.
At this time, he saw Lilith leaning against the dangerous railing, looking at the endless sea level.
This mysterious magician interested him very much. Gilbert walked straight towards the other person. He found that the other person was looking at a magic gem in his hand with a worried look on his face. Lilith didn't notice him until he got closer.
"Did you encounter any problems?"
Gilbert expressed concern.
"No, it's nothing."
Lilith put away the gem, but Gilbert, who had sharp eyes, immediately recognized that it was a magic stone for communication. This kind of magic stone can only connect and communicate with each other. She was trying to contact someone far away.
"If you want to contact the Dragon Boat Empire, maybe the transmission magic of this ship can help you."
"No, it's not, it can't help me."
Lilith smiled bitterly. She didn't want to say anything at this time, but her mood at this time was particularly low. She had not received news from Reina for a while. She only knew that the other party was going to execute a dangerous plan.
mission, and then no further news came.
"My gut tells me you have someone to worry about."
Gilbert said with a smile. He faced the sea and let the sea breeze with the cold sea water hit his face.
"Yes, a person who makes people worry, a guy who likes to mess around. I have received messages from her for a long time."
After hearing this, Gilbert felt a little lonely for some reason.
"Then why did you separate from him? For a magician like you, wouldn't it be better to protect him by keeping him by your side?"
"She doesn't need my protection. Her strength is even greater than mine, but what she does is more dangerous than what I am doing now."
"What is he going to do? Can you tell me?"
Gilbert frowned. He thought of one person, Prince Xianglong, a person stronger than Lilith. He could only think of the brave man.
"It's not a secret, but it's unbelievable. She wants to unite the demons, and I will unite all the countries to join forces with you?"
"What? Prince Xianglong is going to negotiate with the demons?"
Gilbert was shocked, but Lilith frowned and looked at him doubtfully.
"What Prince Xianglong? He is still in his own country and holding his ground."
When Lilith said this, Gilbert was a little confused. If it wasn't Prince Xianglong, was there someone more powerful than her? Who was it? Queen Jaina? Or was it someone else?
"Sorry, I thought... no, it's nothing. I misunderstood something. I was just surprised that someone would think of negotiating with the demons. I think this person must be special."
Gilbert quickly changed the topic and Lilith nodded.
"She's really special."
"But I still think that you should stop her. That is an impossible task. We humans and the demons are mortal enemies and will never reconcile."
Lilith didn't say anything, but Gilbert could guess from her hesitant expression that she thought so in her heart.
"Speaking of which, do you think the research of the Fourth Prince of Yiler can really change our situation? The current situation is very desperate."
He sighed.
"I hope so. After all, he is so confident in his letter."
"What? Prince Eliel wrote a letter to the Dragon Boat Empire?"
Gilbert was shocked that this news was not sent to Prince Jean, which showed that Prince Eliel had long expected that he would not go to the islands, and he also extremely distrusted his brother.
He thought to himself that perhaps Prince Jean was right to worry, and that his brother Elaire had ambitions for the throne.
Lilith nodded, and the two suddenly fell silent.
Gilbert's face suddenly turned pale. If that were the case, wouldn't it mean that he had betrayed Prince Jean by meeting him like this?
However, just when he was falling into self-blame, a shadow suddenly appeared in the waves. Lilith's hair stood up all over her body. Gilbert also raised his head suddenly and quickly put his hand on the sword at his waist.
"What!? Did you see it Lilith?"
He asked, carefully looking towards the sea.
Lilith also noticed that there was something in the sea.
"I feel it too. Are there any sea monsters or the like in the waters near here?"
She took out her staff, and Gilbert shouted, asking the sailors and soldiers on the deck to pay attention to what was going on around them.
This caused a little chaos, and many people came to the deck. Suddenly, the surrounding area darkened, and dark clouds came from nowhere and covered the entire sky.
There was a flash of lightning and thunder, and a huge shadow suddenly appeared under the dark sea.
"Sea monster! There is a sea monster!!"
Many people saw this shadow. Just when they were in a mess, the ship suddenly made a violent explosion. The violent vibration caused everyone to fall to the ground. Only some soldiers and Lilith stood firmly.
On the deck.
They raised their heads with horrified expressions.
Countless giant octopus tentacles stretched out of the sea and wrapped the ship...
