Northern part of the New World, Ilia Kingdom's colony, Buffalo.
For ordinary civilians, most of them left the kingdom's mainland to find a way out in the New World because they had no other choice. It was almost impossible for them to return home.
Once upon a time.
In this land that was dangerous but vast enough, they still had some hope. As the Nimanstans who were born "superior," as long as they weren't lazy, it wasn't too difficult for them to support their families.
However, recently … the situation had changed a little.
"Jonson, have you heard? Two lumberjacks entered the fir forest yesterday and haven't come out until now. It's very likely that they have met with misfortune. "
"Mr. Mayor, I heard. This should be the third disappearance in half a month, right?"
In a wooden house that wasn't luxurious but was decorated very warmly, a burly man with a lush beard poured a glass of water for a well-dressed old man beside him.
There was no tea or coffee. Obviously, this family might have no problems with food and clothing, but they weren't rich enough to purchase luxury goods to entertain guests.
Taking the glass of water, the old man frowned, clearly in deep thought.
"Yes! It must be some man-eating beast that has come to the town.
I have decided to organize a hunting team to enter the forest to kill those beasts, so that this home that was built together since your father's generation can return to peace.
As the town's most powerful hunter and militia captain, this operation depends on you. "
When the man named Jonson heard this, he patted his well-built chest muscles and agreed readily, "Let's go, Boss.
"No problem, Mr. Mayor, please rest assured. Tomorrow, I'll gather people to go into the forest for a walk."
Hearing the man's words, the old mayor relaxed his frowning brows and took a deep breath.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Jonson!"
After chatting with the burly man for a while, the mayor put on his pearl-inlaid top hat, picked up his silver-handled cane, and stood up to leave.
When the old man's figure completely disappeared from sight, the seemingly straightforward hunter's expression instantly changed. His eyes flickered with an obscure light as he spat out fiercely.
"Bah, man-eating beasts? Do you think I don't know if there are any beasts in the forest that can kill and eat two adults at once?
Ever since the colonial governor completely fell from power, those weirdos from Syracuse City came to town. People have been disappearing in the past half a month. Do you think everyone else is a fool?
Organizing the hunters into the forest is not to exterminate the 'wild beasts', but to feed some unknown 'monsters'! "
After venting a little, Jonson knew that time was running out, so he turned around and rushed back into the house.
After the "guest" left, his wife, who was wearing a coarse dress, came out of the bedroom with their son.
"Quick! Sandy, pack your things immediately. We can't stay in Buffalo any longer.
This old man has clearly set his sights on us. He wants to get rid of us, the unstable factors, and turn the entire town into food reserves for those 'monsters'! "
They might not have been able to keep up with the news from far away, but with the fall of the original governor of the kingdom, the governor of the largest city nearby, Syracuse, had been quietly replaced.
More and more strange people appeared. Their skin was pale, and their auras were so cold that they seemed to be able to freeze people.
The disappearance of humans in the colony also began to emerge one after another. An inexplicable sense of panic had gradually spread in the nearby towns. This was something that everyone could personally experience.
As the captain of the militia, Jonson was also a well-informed person. This feeling was particularly profound. He had already noticed that something was wrong and had made arrangements.
Today, the old mayor's "request" made him instantly aware of his dangerous situation, so he made the final decision.
However, his ten-year-old son didn't realize that this was a journey of escape to say goodbye to the hometown of a generation. He looked up and asked curiously.
"Dad, where are we going?"
The man gently hugged his son, stared into his eyes, and said seriously,
"We're going to the Long Island Port not far from here. There are free ships that can send us to the stable Faletis colony in the south. In this dangerous land, only a strong leader can ensure the stability of our life.
Little Dick, do me a favor. Go find your three uncles, Dua, Eden, and Kim, and help me send a message. Ask them to gather at our house immediately. "
"Okay!"
.....
Five kilometers west of the Long Island Port.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Sparks continued to bloom in the night sky. The boatswain of the "May Wind", the official Knight Chris, and the captain of the fifth-level ship "Shaking Sail", the totem warrior of the Tree of Life, Zenaro, were jointly attacking a tall and vigorous figure with long swords.
However.
Even when facing the siege of two official Transcended, the figure with two thin straight swords seemed to be at ease between advancing and retreating. His strength was far above the two of them.
Even while constantly dodging, he kept spouting obscenities, adding fuel to the fire of the two already burning opponents.
"Oh, I can't hit you, I still can't hit you!"
"Oh, what a pity, you're only one centimeter away from my round and perky butt!"
"Admit it, you're just jealous that I can pinch your buttocks at will! And my buttocks are bigger than all of yours! Ahahaha … "
Without a doubt, this guy with a mouth full of venom was a tool that Elvin put on a layer of bionic skin … Oh, the clockwork man Billy Buddha.
With a "poisonous tongue," in just a short month, he had already offended all of his new colleagues.
So far, he had not been taken away by "a stick, a sack, and drowned in the sea" purely because he was too strong!
As for why they were here?
Elvin used the treasures plundered from the "Oathbreaker" Bradley as the starting capital of the territory.
Peggans Town in the north of the Georgia territory, Ceramics Town in the middle, Steel City in the Cumberland Mountains in the west, and the two deep water ports of Savannah and Brunswick adjacent to the Black Sea in the east, including the first textile factory, at least had an outline.
Another main line of the cotton textile industry, a large area of cotton plantations.
With the strategy originally formulated and the expansion of the scale of publicity and excellent shipping conditions, many Irian pioneers had gradually flocked to the Georgia territory with their families.
Although cotton was generally planted in April every year, the plantations could not provide the raw materials this year. But in the humid subtropical monsoon climate, tobacco could be planted in September and harvested at the beginning of winter, so the fields would not be left idle.
The main reason for this situation was the collapse of the original Irian Kingdom's governor-rule system and the "ghouls" on one hand; Elvin's reputation had risen over the years, and his popularity in the Tulip Family was another.
In addition to Faletis, because of the Garliot family, the people of Iria paid the most attention to him.
Under the premise that many people needed to serve as slaves for 4-7 years to pay for the ship, they had almost no ability to cross the Black Sea back to the mainland after coming to the New World.
To leave the Irian colony, which was gradually becoming difficult, it was especially important to choose the right next home. The resounding name of Elvin Garliot was the time to play its brand effect.
Therefore.
After breaking through the "High Cliff Castle," Gör had already brought the "May Wind", the "Shaking Sail", and two two-masted mixed sailboats stripped from the privateer fleet to Long Island Port in Iria.
The achievement of almost annihilating the "Oathbreaker" pirates gave the garrison commander, Lieutenant General Gustav, a lot of face in front of the Queen and the military. So everyone gave each other face, and it was not a big deal for Elvin to occasionally use public resources for private purposes.
So now that there was a rank-3 Transcendent in charge, as long as the free people in this colony were willing to leave, no one could forcibly stop them.
Chris, Zenaro, and Billy Fo were stationed at the camp outside the city. Their purpose was to prevent the new owner of Iria from not playing by the rules of the game and to take precautions in advance.
In fact, Elvin was not the only one doing this. The other five members of the Tulip Family were also doing this. As the lifespan of the Kingdom Guardian, Raging Tides, gradually came to an end, Iria was also in a mess.
The entire kingdom had also come to its most turbulent time. How could the isolated New World colony have any sovereignty and territorial integrity? The allies did not touch this land for the time being, which was also giving face to the Kingdom Guardian's last breath.
With Elvin's current identity, status, and strength, it was enough for him to have a share of the pie, and no one would think that he was not qualified.
Suddenly.
Bang!
A sudden gunshot in the wilderness startled the three people in the scuffle.
Billy Fo, whose strength had surpassed the peak of rank-2 Knight, reacted the fastest. He left the two people behind and rushed out.
"Ahaha, I finally encountered something interesting. I'm not going to play with you boring guys anymore."
Two kilometers to the west of the mainland.
Two somewhat shabby carriages had stopped. Three strong hunters in deerskin squatted on top of the carriages and confronted five huge but very thin hyenas that surrounded them in the darkness.
The hands of the three people holding the guns trembled slightly. Witnessing a few pale humans turn into hyenas was simply shattering their worldview.
Only the leader of the hunters, Jonson, with two Kentucky rifles on his back, temporarily intimidated them with his smoking rifle and his record of killing a hyena with one shot.
However.
"Woo woo woo …"
As they kept moving, they dug the ground with their claws and growled in their throats. This group of "hyenas" was obviously not going to let them go.
At this moment.
In the darkness near Changdao Port, a hearty laugh suddenly came.
"Hahaha, come on, let's fight it out! I just want to kill you or be killed by you! "
At the same time, a group of "hyenas" suddenly turned around and jumped high to attack.
Whoosh!
A figure wrapped in a gust of wind flew over. The two straight knives in his hands turned into a bright light curtain. Blood splattered everywhere.
Bang!
When the five "hyenas" landed, they had turned into five pale figures in robes. Obviously, they were not real hyenas, but ghouls with both human and hyena forms.
Billy Fo shook off the blood on the blade and sheathed it. He did not forget to add insult to injury with his vicious tongue.
"Oh, I'm sorry. It looks like I killed you."
As he spoke, the group of hunters stared at him with wide eyes.
He stepped forward and patted the buttocks of the "ghouls" one by one, as if to confirm that they were completely dead.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Uh, Billy Fo not only recovered his original self, but also seemed to have awakened something extraordinary.
His comments faintly lingered in the night.
"This is too dry."
"This is too dry."
"No one can compare to my perky …"
