Marquesa Island was an archipelago formed by a few larger volcanic islands and some smaller islands nearby. It was located in the south-central part of the Pacific Ocean.
The entire archipelago only had a few thousand people. It could be described as sparsely populated.
On Marquesa Island, people's means of transportation weren't modern at all. Cars were almost nowhere to be seen. Of course, this wasn't because this place was backward. Instead, it was because the roads here were rugged and the road conditions were very bad. Even some cars that could withstand bad conditions would basically be scrapped in the first half of the year.
The road conditions here were astonishingly bad. Therefore, the mode of transportation here was horseback. In many cases, horses were more reliable than cars.
The road conditions here made driving a sports car as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Even a rich person couldn't "burn" a car for fun every half a year.
It was said that the horses on this island were brought here by European colonists two centuries ago. Originally, there was nothing on this island except for coconuts, tropical fruits, coffee beans, and almost nothing else.
All along, on this island that was far away from the bustling human habitation, people and horses coexisted peacefully. It could be said that there were as many horses as there were people on this island!
It could be said that on average, each resident on this island had one horse. Some were for their own use, while others were used to receive tourists.
Although this place wasn't big, there was an endless stream of tourists coming here every year.
In the words of the locals, it was really too difficult for people in the bustling metropolises to seek a trace of peace in today's society. The kind of peace on this island was something that couldn't be experienced in any other city.
This kind of peace could make people feel at peace. Even Zuo Lengyue, who came with such a strong murderous aura, calmed down a lot the moment she set foot on the island.
The feeling that this place gave people was completely different from the feeling that other places gave people.
As the person who proposed and planned this operation, Zuo Lengyue naturally had to come to Marquesa Island as soon as possible.
"Empress, how many people do you think Xu Yun can gather?" Ou Nan stood beside Zuo Lengyue and asked faintly. At this moment, the others had all gone to do their own things, leaving only him to stand by Zuo Lengyue's side.
Zuo Lengyue shook her head and replied, "I don't know."
"If it's just those brats from the Dragon Brigade, they might not be of much use," Onan said bluntly.
He wasn't looking down on anyone. He was just stating a fact. The brats from the Mystical Dragon Brigade might be able to completely suppress the first and second floors of Martifrans Island's Serious Criminals Prison, but with their strength, it would be really difficult for them to enter the third floor and make a difference.
However, Zuo Lengyue didn't think so. "No, they are very useful. If there's no one holding back the first and second floors, we'll have to keep exhausting them to get through. "
Onan was startled. "That's true. They can help us reduce some of our consumption."
"It's almost half," Zuo Lengyue said. Therefore, she felt that their arrival was very necessary.
"But … even so, it doesn't seem to be effective enough." Ou Nan sighed. "I wonder if that kid will be able to bring us some powerful helpers."
Zuo Lengyue smiled. "Don't underestimate him. He's Xu Chen's son. You can't compare to his natural charisma and charisma."
Onan was startled. Then, he laughed and nodded. "Yes, I can't deny that. Even if he only inherited 50% of Xu Chen's bloodline, his charisma and charisma are definitely higher than mine. "
"50%?" Zuo Lengyue snorted. "Then you think the other 50% is inherited from Yun Liuyan?"
Ou Nan was suddenly speechless. He realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. Back then, the Yun family's influence was the greatest in the entire underground world. Yun Liuyan was also a woman who had hundreds of people responding to her call. She was as glorious as she could be.
"That's not what I meant," Onan said helplessly.
"Alright, I know that's not what you meant." Zuo Lengyue waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care anymore. "But don't forget that he still has a godfather, Zhang Jiazhi."
Onan smiled bitterly. Zhang Jiazhi was a guy whose strength was above the Five War Gods.
If Zhang Jiazhi didn't leave so early, he would probably have broken through to the Profound Sky Realm by now.
"Empress, you mean that with Zhang Jiazhi's influence, there will be many people who will step forward bravely at this time?" Onan asked.
Zuo Lengyue smiled. "What else? Do you think Zhang Taisui's reputation is just empty talk?"
"I wouldn't dare." Onan shook his head. "Everyone knows Zhang Taisui's character. Like many people, I respect him."
"Yes, there's a reason why everyone respects him." Zuo Lengyue said indifferently. "At this time, I definitely don't believe that those people will stand by and do nothing …"
"Those people?" Onan was stunned.
Zuo Lengyue smiled. "Although Su Yueling has always hated me, so much so that she removed the 'Yue' in her name and changed it to Su Ling, she might have no choice but to stand behind me this time."
At this moment, Ou Nan also understood who Zuo Lengyue was referring to.
"If they can lend a hand, we will be like a tiger that has grown wings." Onan finally smelled the scent of victory.
Zuo Lengyue could hear the excitement in his voice. It wasn't there before. "Onan, tell me the truth. You didn't see any hope at all before this. You didn't think that we would win. You thought that we would definitely die."
Onan was silent for a moment. He nodded and admitted, "That's true. However, I couldn't help but think that way … The hope was really too slim."
"Since you don't have any hope of winning, why did you choose to do this with me?" Zuo Lengyue asked again.
Onan really didn't know how to answer this question. He had never thought about this question before.
"If the hope of winning is so slim, or if you don't see any hope at all, why did you still take the risk with me?" Zuo Lengyue looked at Onan.
"I don't know." Onan's answer was very simple. However, this was the only answer he could think of at this moment.
He really didn't know why. However, he had supported Zuo Lengyue so firmly at that time. Even though he knew that this was something that would never return, he still did it. He himself didn't know why.
Zuo Lengyue believed that this was Onan's true answer.
She and the five War Gods weren't friends. They weren't master and servant. It seemed that they didn't have any kind of relationship. However, they had all fulfilled their vows for so many years.
Because they had lost to her, they were willing to do whatever they could for her. This was their vows back then.
However, Zuo Lengyue had also said that she would never force them to do anything that they didn't want to do or that was beyond their abilities.
They all remembered this.
This time, the matter was beyond their abilities. If only a small portion of them took action, it could be said that they were sending themselves to the prison for serious criminals. However, they still didn't hesitate at all.
No one could give a reason as to why they did this.
"I believe that those people will also stand behind Xu Yun for no reason." Zuo Lengyue said, "It's just like how you guys are willing to help me without any reason. Even you don't know what you're doing now. It's the same for me. I don't know why you're doing this. However, we'll stand together for the same goal and trust each other."
Onan nodded. He understood what Zuo Lengyue was trying to say.
Indeed, some things didn't need a reason or a reason.
When it should appear, it would naturally appear. Things would naturally develop in that way.
"Perhaps I didn't have confidence in the beginning. But now, I do." Zuo Lengyue smiled and said, "None of us knows what will happen next. It's been like this from the beginning."
