Queen Heidi held the little conch tightly in her hand and pressed it against her chest as if she was hugging her long-lost son in her arms.
Tears kept pouring out of her eyes. The Queen of the Sea Elves who had endured too much finally showed her fragile side.
All the Sea Elves surrounded them. They also heard the voice of the Crown Prince.
A few of the elderly people couldn't help but tear up when they saw the Queen crying sadly. However, they also had some hope because of the information revealed in Xiao Haige's words.
However, they didn't dare to show it.
Because this hope was too slim. Relying on the humans on the land … was it really possible to save the Sea Elves?
As far as they knew, there were also alien beasts on the land.
When the Sea Elves could still communicate with the outside world, they had collected a lot of information. At least a few decades ago, the human race couldn't even take care of themselves.
Did they really have the spare energy to help the Sea Elves?
Seeing Queen Heidi break down emotionally because of Xiao Haige's voice, Grumpy Bunny looked at her quietly for a while and felt that his eyes were a little sore.
He quickly looked away and observed the Sea Elves around him.
In the two or three months that he left, the Sea Elves didn't lose any NPCs. Although the situation looked bad, at least they were still alive.
Grumpy Bunny heaved a sigh of relief. He used the Diamond Coins that Lin Mu gave him to buy some food from the System Shop and piled it on the ground.
"You guys eat something first. I brought these back from the Roland Empire as well."
The Sea Elves originally had the support of the Guardian Array. There was no seawater in their residence. The Sea Elves could cook like they did on the land.
The difference was that their food source was mainly sea fish and some undersea plants.
In the decades that they were trapped by the Interstellar Ocean Beasts, they could barely survive by breeding sea fish and seaweed in their residence.
However, after their residence was flooded by seawater ten years ago, they lost a stable source of food.
In the past ten years, they could only rely on the land under the Tree of Life to breed some seaweed and occasionally risk their lives to hunt sea beasts to survive.
The lack of food caused the Sea Elves to become sallow and emaciated, just like when Cha Mo first met Xiao Haige.
Seeing that Grumpy Bunny had brought back food, the Ocean Elves' eyes lit up. Only Cecilia was puzzled. "Where did you get so much food?"
The young man was stunned, he scratched his head and said, "His Majesty Roland gave me a space item, these things were taken out from the space item."
Hearing this, the Ocean Elves' impression of the Roland Empire improved again.
Spatial items were extremely precious in their minds, yet His Majesty Roland had casually allowed Grumpy Bunny to bring them here.
In any case, this trust and generosity was enough for them to be grateful.
"Hurry up and eat. Replenish your energy first."
After all, they were at the bottom of the sea, and there were many things that could not be eaten. Grumpy Bunny bought chocolate that was high in calories and easy to eat. Not only was it delicious, but it also did not melt easily in the cold sea water.
This was the first time the Sea Elves had eaten such a thing.
They imitated the young man and tore open the wrapping paper of the chocolate, then put the small black cube into their mouths and tasted it.
Grumpy Bunny did not know their tastes, so he simply bought the sweetest kind.
Then, he saw that the eyes of the Ocean Elves lit up the moment they put the chocolate into their mouths. As they ate more and more, happiness and enjoyment appeared on their faces.
"What's this sweet thing?"
Cecilia ate her chocolate bar, she only felt that even if she died in the mouth of a sea beast, she would die without regrets.
Grumpy Bunny smiled and said, "This is called chocolate, it's made through processing. The sweet taste is because of the addition of sugar."
"Sugar?"
Cecilia repeated this unfamiliar pronunciation.
Of course, there was no sugar at the bottom of the sea, only some algae would have a little sweetness, but that sweetness was like heaven and earth compared to this chocolate bar!
The Ocean Elves were almost instantly captivated by the chocolate, looking at their satisfied expressions, Grumpy Bunny could not help but sigh.
When he left back then, the System Shop was not online yet, otherwise he could have left some food for them. But on second thought, he did not have money at that time …
The young man shook his head. Seeing that the chocolate was quickly eaten up, he hurriedly bought some more from the System Shop.
What he did not know was that because of his unintentional action, chocolate became the hard currency of the Ocean Elves in the future. Here, currency was not useful, only chocolate could be used freely.
Even when the players later provided other food, the Ocean Elves still loved chocolate the most.
The players could not figure out why the Ocean Elves loved chocolate so much, but only the Ocean Elves who had experienced this moment knew the real reason.
But that was a story for another time.
While the Ocean Elves were quietly eating, Queen Heidi finally calmed herself down. Just as she was about to talk to the irritable little rabbit, she saw her people eating.
Cecilia quickly gave her a piece, and after she ate it … she forgot what she was going to say.
Grumpy Bunny was very happy.
He saw that the Ocean Elves' impression of him was slowly increasing, but what made him even happier was the blissful expressions on their faces.
And he firmly believed that with this group of players, the Ocean Elves would never be exterminated!
At this time, Lin Mu's voice sounded in the team voice chat, "Bunny, you're back in the clan, right?"
"Yes, yes, I'm back," the young man quickly replied.
"How are the Ocean Elves?"
"Pretty good, they're eating chocolate."
Lin Mu paused for a moment, then continued asking, "Can they provide us with help?"
Grumpy Bunny then remembered his second mission, he quickly asked Lin Mu to wait, then looked at the Ocean Elven Queen.
At this time, Queen Heidi, who had finally finished her piece of chocolate and felt that her taste buds and empty stomach were satisfied and healed, happened to look at him.
Her gaze towards Grumpy Bunny was much gentler.
"Bunny, you said that you brought reinforcements, where are they?"
Grumpy Bunny quickly replied, "They're still on the sea, they're preparing to come down."
Queen Heidi's eyes lit up, "How many people did you bring this time?"
"Ten."
When Grumpy Bunny said this number, the light in Queen Heidi's eyes dimmed, and the Ocean Elves who had just eaten chocolate and were happy couldn't help but become silent.
What could ten people do?
Although they were grateful for the kindness of the Roland Empire, ten people were really too few, they couldn't do much to solve the crisis of the Ocean Elves.
Queen Heidi sighed and said, "Do you have a way to contact them?"
Grumpy Bunny nodded.
Queen Heidi was very knowledgeable, she wasn't surprised, she said, "Tell them to go back, don't come down to die for nothing. Tell them that the Ocean Elves are grateful for the kindness of the Roland Empire, but …"
She sighed again and didn't continue.
Instead, she said, "I hope His Majesty Roland can help take care of Hai Ge, as long as he's still alive, at least the Ocean Elves are not completely wiped out …"
The atmosphere of sadness and despair once again shrouded the Ocean Elves, making Grumpy Bunny a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, you don't believe in me, but don't you believe in His Highness Hai Ge?"
"The ten warriors who came this time are very powerful, don't be fooled by their small numbers, they're all strong!"
Queen Heidi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Their strength is …"
"The weakest one has the strength of three and a half stars!"
Grumpy Bunny tried to promote, but when she heard the level, Queen Heidi shook her head in disappointment.
Before the incident with the Tree of Life, she was already six and a half stars, now even if her strength was weakened, she was still four stars.
She really couldn't think of how they could save the Ocean Elves with just a team of three and a half stars.
Grumpy Bunny saw that it didn't make sense, he could only say, "Let's wait and see!"
Hearing his words, even Cecilia looked at him with disapproval.
Although the Ocean Elves were in trouble, they were still noble Elves, how could they do something like pushing their allies into a pit of fire?
After being lectured, Grumpy Bunny suddenly felt that he couldn't explain himself, so he chose to remain silent and told Lin Mu and the others what the Ocean Elves said.
Lin Mu and the others listened to his narration, and although they felt that the Ocean Elves were pretty good NPCs, they were also speechless.
Their Fourth Natural Disaster was despised by NPCs!
[F * ck, this is intolerable! Sister Qingyan, go, let these Ocean Elves see how powerful we players are!]
[The Fourth Natural Disaster's reputation depends on you guys! God Lin, go!]
[Take down the Ocean Elves' territory! Take down the ocean!]
The players watching the live broadcast were all excited, and Lin Mu and the others were under immense pressure, but they didn't say anything.
It was fine as long as they fought! At most, they would die again and again!
In the end, Grumpy Bunny managed to get a simple map of the terrain and the distribution of the sea monsters.
After the ten-man team analyzed it, they quickly came up with a plan and dove into the water, officially beginning their journey to take down the Ocean Elves' territory!
