Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 429: Naga

"Alright, Mr. Sal. Right now, you only have two choices. One is to hand over the Nagas, and the other is to let us get on the boat and find them ourselves. Choose one of these two choices." Alan was already impatient, and his expression turned cold.

Sal's entire body trembled. He wasn't an idiot. The situation was very obvious. Neither the guards nor the experts on his side were able to contend against Allen's power. If they clashed forcefully, the final outcome would not change anything, and they would surely suffer heavy losses. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Very well, I hope you all understand what you are doing. Not only is the count involved in this matter, but you can't afford to offend the big shots behind you!"

He suddenly felt that he had lost his words, and his expression changed slightly. He hurriedly said, "I don't need to bother you. Isn't there only a few female slaves of Naga that need to work so hard to move the crowd?"

Sal casually caught one of the guards and shouted, "Go, bring those disaster stars over. This time, it's really bloody bad luck."

"Mr. Thrall, remember it all. All of it!" Alan reminded.

A few minutes later, three boxes were carried off the ship by guards, all wrapped in tarpaulins. Alan opened the tarpaulin and found that the box was transparent. It was filled with water, and there was a Naga woman in each of the boxes. When they suddenly saw the sunlight, they couldn't help but shrink back and block the water in front of them. After that, he saw clearly the scene of Alan and the dock, and his expression was somewhat blank.

Alan looked at Sal, who said angrily, "If you don't believe these three women, get on the boat and search them yourself."

Even he didn't dare to make a fuss at this time. Alan snorted and waved his hand to summon a few Mountain King warriors to carry the chest to the water and release the Naga people. The warriors couldn't help but look curiously at the mutants in the water tank, but they still obeyed Alan's orders and put the Naga people in the water tank back into the sea. The three Nagas fell into the water, seemingly unable to believe it. After looking towards the shore, they quickly dived into the water and disappeared.

Alan turned around to leave, and Sal sneered, "Your Excellency is truly impressive. However, you have to pay a heavy price for this momentary glory. I'm really not worth it for you."

"Perhaps not. As long as your ship doesn't return, who knows what happened on Pearl Island?" Alan turned around and smiled coldly.

Sal instantly shivered. Alan sneered a few times before leaving.

Roger walked beside him and whispered, "Maybe you can consider what you just thought."

"Killing them all is meaningless. Judging from their actions, these people should have a top-secret plan on their shoulders. Actions like this cannot be undocumented. Once they are found missing, we can trace them to us as long as we investigate what happened on Pearl Island in recent days. 'Will Mr. Roger do it unless we kill all the people on the island?' Alan glanced at him.

Roger smiled bitterly. "Unless I thought I didn't want to stay in the empire, I wouldn't be so crazy."

"Therefore, we can only let these blood sharks go. Furthermore, this can be considered a turning point. Otherwise, if we attack, the other party will come looking for us in the future, and it will be an endless pattern." Alan stopped and looked at Paradise, which had been riddled with hundreds of holes by the rain arrows from the sea demon. "Looks like we're going to have to stay on the island for another day or two," he said.

"Although there are many damaged areas, the hull is not damaged. I guarantee that we can set off tomorrow, as long as the Naga clan keeps their promise." Said Roger.

"There's no need to worry about that. If Lily has at least the strength of a Count and the royal guards are nearby, then they have the power to annihilate all of us. But if they don't do so, they must have some misgivings. Now that we have put their clansmen back, there's no reason to go back on their word." "I don't think they want to meet the Empire's navy in the Nether River Corridor," Allen said.

Roger nodded, just like Alan had said. If the Naga clan went back on their word, it would inevitably attract the interference of the empire. At that time, it would be a war. That was not what the Naga clan wanted, so they felt relieved. Roger shouted to the sailors to repair the ship, while Alan looked at the surface of the sea. He had finally seen this mutant of the Naga Race with his own eyes. Indeed, there was nothing wrong. The Naga Race on this planet was exactly the same as what he had seen at the black market auction.

If there were Nagas on this planet, would there be life on other planets as well? If the answer was yes, then this planet was simply like a natural gene pool.

The only question was, where did these creatures come from? Was it the result of natural evolution? Or was it man-made? Perhaps even Heaven Star was a universe-class ark.

As Alan stared at the surface of the sea, his image also appeared in a pearl the size of a blue ball. Inside the palace at the bottom of the sea, Lily sat on a throne made of natural coral. Her feet swayed and her big eyes stared at Alan's projection in the pearl.

A nearby Naga Clan elder happily said, "It seems that humans are not foolish enough to commit suicide."

"Of course, if they don't hand over Vivian and the others, I will make them look good." Lily snorted and waved her little fist.

Elder Na Jia said softly, "Your Highness naturally has that kind of power. However, it is better to use this kind of power with caution. If you don't use it properly, it will lead to disaster."

Lily jumped off the coral throne and waved her hand. The image on the pearl disappeared. She shook her head and said, "Elder, you have too many worries. Because of this, our Naga Clan has only been weak for a thousand years. We have made those monkeys on the land look down on us for nothing."

The elder smiled and said, "Your Highness is right. We are all old, so we naturally have to be careful about everything. Your Highness has limitless potential and the Naga Clan has a bright future. However, Your Highness has never thought that Her Highness Princess Qian was similarly astonished back then. Why did she still wronge herself by marrying the imperial family in exchange for the chance to recover?"

She rolled her eyes for a long time and honestly shook her head, "Why?"

"Because the race base is too different." The elder sighed, "Even though we Nagas have had hundreds of years to reproduce, the total number of people in our clan is less than 100,000." Looking at humans, they had tens of millions of people hundreds of years ago. Even if there were one or two exceptional experts like His Highness in our clan, the huge difference in numbers would not change the fact that Naga was weak. Moreover, there were countless mutants on the earth, not just humans. "So Princess Qian can only use herself to exchange for the chance of survival of the Naga Clan. This is a helpless move."

"Could it be that we can only be mercenaries like this?" '"I found out early this time. Those damned monkeys actually dared to reach the edge of the corridor of the Nether River and trick Vivian and the others out of capturing them. If I hadn't found out in time, the three of them would have been shipped inland long ago and we would have no way to pursue them. And in the past few centuries, are there still few similar cases?" Lily said unwillingly.

'"That's why Princess Qian asked us to stay in the corridor of the Nether River and rely on the special environment to resist the invasion of outsiders. In short, it's very difficult for our own clansmen to change anything. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Lily's eyes lit up as she asked.

The elder smiled bitterly. "There is a saying in the human kingdom that men conquer the world by relying on strength, while women conquer the world by relying on men. We, the Nagas, are among the most beautiful women in the aesthetic perspective of humanity. That is why Princess Qian sacrificed herself in exchange for the present and future of the Nagas."

"But this future is coming to an end. Those humans seem to be thinking of our Immortal Spring again!" Lily said coldly.
