Cericis was indeed horrified and embarrassed at the same time.
What was the most annoying thing in the world? At this moment, Cericis felt as if she had met a shameless b * tch, only to discover that she was her mother's good friend the moment she opened her mouth. Furthermore, she was a great hero who had saved the world …
If there was a river nearby, Cericis would definitely jump in without hesitation.
How should I address her?
Cericis was in a dilemma. Aiguin was her mother's good friend, so she was her elder. Auntie? But she was as young as a little girl. Calling her auntie would make her sound too old. Calling her sister sounded too big.
Nagas were also long-lived species, but they were not as abnormal as elves. Their lifespan was easily calculated in thousands of years. On average, a naga's lifespan was only half that of elves, between 500 to 1000 years.
As a long-lived species, the naga also faced the same population crisis as the elves and dark elves. Their birth rate had always been terrifyingly low. However, the elves had the World Tree in the past, and there was a steady increase in the number of newborns every year. The dark elves and nagas could not do so. They chose the same method. Most females had no choice but to mate with a large number of males in order to increase the probability of pregnancy. As time passed, it formed a very strange open society style that outsiders would find strange.
Of course, if the dark elves or nagas had their eyes on a specific person's outstanding genes, they would abandon the traditional method and be very loyal to one-on-one mating. This was more beneficial for producing outstanding offspring. The more powerful and noble the class, the more common this behavior was.
Now, when Cericis met Twain, her reproductive instincts were stimulated. Her instincts told her that she could give birth to the most outstanding offspring if she mated with the man in front of her. However, on the surface of her consciousness, she thought that she had been bewitched by witchcraft and was charmed by Twain. She planned to escape, but she ended up meeting her mother's old friend. Hence, the situation became very awkward.
"Aiguin … Madam."
Cericis bent down and bowed to Aiguin. "Mother is very good. She has always been thinking about you and wants to visit you. However, Vaskil has met with some trouble these years, so mother is unable to leave for the time being."
"Trouble?"
Aiguín was stunned. "Under her rule, Vaskil will still encounter trouble?"
Aiguin knew Perdys very well. Although she wasn't famous in the major countries on the continent, she was still a Legendary-level spellcaster. The Naga's Water Magic talent was fully displayed on her body. She was the absolute king underwater. Even Aiguin wasn't sure that she could defeat Perdys underwater. How could she run into trouble?
"Yes."
Cericis looked at Tang En and the others and hesitated for a moment. Some information was not convenient to be made public.
Aiguin noticed her worry and said, "Tang En is my friend. He is also the king of the Irus Empire in the human world. I trust him very much. You don't have to worry."
The King of the Irus Empire?!
Cericis was shocked. This man was actually the king of that empire?!
As a long-lived species, the records of the Nagas were very complete. Of course, they knew about the empire that once unified the Prandal Empire. However, she never thought that the person standing in front of her would actually be the king of that country!
After the shock, Cericis motioned for Polisaya and the others to follow her into the courtyard. After closing the door, she told them about the trouble that Vaskil had encountered.
It turned out that a few years ago, a large Chaos Gate suddenly opened in the Sea of Abyss. A large number of Chaos creatures appeared in the territory of the Nutao Fishmen. The Nutao Fishmen tried their best to resist the invasion of Chaos. In order to help their former comrades, the Nagas also sent a large number of warriors to support the Nutao Fishmen. However, as time went by, more and more Nutao Fishmen were contaminated by Chaos and became enemies. Many Naga warriors also died in foreign lands and became puppets of Chaos.
In the end, the Nutao Fishmen were almost completely annihilated. Only a small number of Nutao Fishmen escaped. Perdys led the Naga army and sealed the territory of the Nutao Fishmen in ice. She wanted to forcefully close the Chaos Gate. However, she did not expect that a primordial Chaos creature would appear from the Chaos Gate. It happened to be hit in the face by Perdys' spell and instantly absorbed a large amount of Chaos power. Its strength increased greatly and almost wiped out the Naga army.
Perdys had no choice but to retreat. Fortunately, the underwater world was large enough. The territories of the Nutao Fishmen and the Nagas were very far away from each other. The Chaos Gate could not affect the Nagas for the time being. Perdys took in the surviving Nutao Fishmen.
However, as time passed, the range of activity of the corrupted Nutao Fishmen became larger and larger. At the beginning of the year, they had already arrived at the border of the Nagas' territory. This was troublesome. After the first corrupted Nutao Fishman discovered the Nagas, the other corrupted Nutao Fishmen all knew about it. Then, the fallen Chaos Army swarmed over. Nutao Fishmen, corrupted Nagas, deep-sea behemoths, and so on were all mixed together. Now, Vaskil was completely surrounded by the Chaos Army.
If it weren't for the fact that Perdys was strong enough to protect Vashciel with her own strength, Vashciel would have collapsed long ago.
However, because of the characteristics of the Chaos creatures, she did not dare to attack now. She could only gather Vaskil's Nagas and enter a state of national combat readiness.
This war happened at the bottom of the Sea of Abyss, far away from the continent. Therefore, the countries on the continent did not know that the bottom of the Sea of Abyss was now a pot of porridge.
As mentioned before, due to the serious interference of the elements, Jean's Starmoon Tower could not monitor the flow of magic underground and at the bottom of the sea. They could only monitor the situation on the surface of the Prandal. Therefore, even Jean did not know about this matter.
If Jean knew, although he could not fight, he could at least help protect Vaskil and reduce some of the pressure on Perdys.
After listening to Cericis' information, Aiguin's face was solemn. "I didn't expect the Sea of Abyss to be so dangerous now!"
"We are now forced into a dead end."
Cericis cried without tears. "Now, almost all of our people have joined the war, even those who are engaged in production and herding are no exception. Only a small number of our people continue to collect pearls, corals, and other marine specialties to trade with the merchants of the Ronnette Kingdom to exchange for food and weapons."
Tang En abruptly interjected, "You guys can also use the equipment designed for human warfare?"
Polisaya said helplessly. "We can barely use it, but those weapons will not be used for long at the bottom of the sea, so we have to continue importing weapons."
Nonsense. Tang En rolled his eyes. Without anti-corrosion treatment, of course the weapons would rust after soaking in the sea.
"Tang En, my friend, I'm afraid I can't accompany you anymore."
Aiguin made a decision. "I've decided to help Perdys."
Tang En was shocked. "Are you crazy?! That's the bottom of the sea! "
Fighting at the bottom of the sea was different from fighting on land or in the air. Even legendary masters would be affected by the sea. Whether it was water pressure or light, they were all huge problems. More importantly, under the extreme environment of the bottom of the sea, only water elements could be used. The other elements were very inert.
This meant that Aiguin could not use the wind elements to assist in battle, and she could not obtain the blessings of Gaia. This was very disadvantageous for her.
Aiguin was very calm. She looked at Tang En with her clear eyes and said, "But I can't turn a blind eye to my friend's crisis, can I?"
What can I say?
Tang En wanted to cry but had no tears. Messing around in a new home could trigger such a dangerous main mission. Could this world still be played happily?
Cecily suddenly remembered that Tang En was the king of the Irus Empire. She immediately begged Tang En as if she was grasping at her last life-saving straw. "Tang En Majesty, please help us!"
Tang En was depressed. As expected, he could not avoid it …
"Don't you have a trading relationship with the Lonitanians? Can't you ask them for help? The coastline of the Lonitanians is longer than that of the Irus. Their navy is much more powerful than ours. "
"We asked His Majesty Oscar for help, but he refused."
Polisaya clenched her fists and said angrily, "He thinks that the trade contract does not include an offensive and defensive alliance, and there is no chance of winning. So even if we pay a high price, he will not send the navy to help."
"But even if we send the navy, it will be useless. Isn't the battlefield in the deep sea?"
Tang En was a little bitter. There were no submarines in this world, and even if there were submarines, the casualty rate of fighting in the deep sea was frighteningly high. It was not like on land, where they could escape if they could not win. If a submarine was attacked, no one inside would be able to escape.
Cecily hurriedly said, "We can move the battlefield to sea level! Those corrupted monsters have no intelligence and only know how to attack instinctively. As long as we move, they will follow. "
Sea level …
Tang En muttered to himself. If they were on the surface of the sea, this battle could still be fought. The most important thing was that the casualty ratio could be controlled. Even if the ship was destroyed at sea, there would still be time to activate the Return Crystal to escape.
However, when strengthening the combat power of the army, they had always considered fighting on land. In addition, Ellington was inland, so they had not magically modified the warships. Now, the warships were still driven by wind and pedals. Their weapons were only rams, giant crossbows, and ship-borne catapults. Very few warships were equipped with magic crystal cannons, so their speed and combat efficiency were very low.
If they were to magically modify the warships, the first thing to change was the power system, replacing it with a large wind-powered magic engine and propeller …
What the f * ck? Could it be that the gods saw that I was too bored in this world, so they started letting me play ship girls?
Come on, those who follow the trend will not have a good ending. The popularity of ship girls has long passed!
And what's so fun about magically modified medieval ship girls!
It's not like I can tear my clothes or anything …
