A series of loud noises came from the sea around the Lava Islands. The seawater churned violently and pillars of water sprayed out from the rain of bullets.
Half an hour ago, the team that was searching for Captain Hai Long was suddenly attacked by an unknown enemy.
A fierce battle was about to break out. The teams of the major forces suffered heavy losses, especially the Crimson Light Federation's army. In a short period of time, the casualties reached ten thousand.
"Where did this enemy come from?"
"Is it Captain Hai Long's reinforcements?"
"That's impossible. Davo City's garrison can't come here. The other branches of the Dragon race will need at least a few days to send reinforcements …"
On a warship, Ingrid gritted her teeth. In less than an hour, the army she brought had suffered heavy losses. She was so angry that she was about to vomit blood.
"Retreat, all retreat …"
Ingrid screamed into the communicator, but received the grievous news of the death of one team after another.
With a mournful scream, Ingrid smashed her military cap on the deck. Her beautiful face was distorted and her eyes were bloodshot.
Half of the troops she had brought with her this time were ordinary soldiers who were used as cannon fodder.
However, the other half was different. This was the military's special forces and also the power of her family. If they all died here, the family would kill her before she went to court.
Now, she had lost almost half of the troops she led. This was the foundation of her foothold in the military!
Boom …
A loud sound came. A heavy cannon exploded not far away from the warship. Huge waves rose and the hull swayed. Ingrid lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Immediately, she took out the communicator and contacted the other allies. She screamed, "Where are you guys? You're just going to watch as my troops are attacked, and you don't even have any reinforcements? Are you doing this on purpose? "
"Don't forget, this is the Crimson Light Federation's sea. With an order from me, you are a terrorist organization!"
At this time, a series of thoughts flashed through Ingrid's mind. As long as she sent a message to the Crimson Light Federation's military headquarters, saying that the armed forces of the five major families had suddenly changed sides and had ill intentions, she could at least shake off some of the responsibility.
Just as she was thinking of this, the roar of Nocchi came from the other end of the communicator. "We were also attacked? Do you think only your troops suffered heavy losses? Look at this … "
Ding …
A file was sent over, and when Ingrid opened it, her face immediately paled. It was an assassination order, and there were 10,000 of them.
The assassination targets of these orders were extremely detailed. They included the five great families, the Kingdom of Purple Waves, the Crimson Light Federation, and the dragon race's Elder Lu Lie. All of them were on the list.
Not only did these assassination orders have all sorts of strange requirements, but they also clearly listed the target's weakness and general location.
Not only that, but the value of each order exceeded the market price by 30%.
There was a crucial piece of information in these orders, and that was that the targets of all the orders were concentrated in the Lava Islands.
As for Ingrid's name, it was also on the assassination order, and the amount was 2 million gold coins.
Seeing this, Ingrid's face turned pale. If she had seen this document at any other time or place, she wouldn't have cared at all.
In the Crimson Light Federation, she was a popular young officer with an illustrious family background. Did she need to worry about her own safety?
Even if someone wanted to assassinate her, they had to be able to track her down first …
But it was different now. This was the Lava Islands, and the important figures of the five great families, the two great kingdoms, and the dragon race's branch were all here.
If an assassin organization or a mercenary organization saw this piece of information, what would they do?
If it were Ingrid, her first reaction would be to strike it rich. With so many assassination targets gathered together, a random torpedo might be able to blow up a group of fish. How much money would that be?
How many assassins and mercenaries would be attracted here …
The current situation was that the Lava Islands were like a fish pond. Countless cold-blooded assassins and mercenaries wanted to blow up the fish. This was such a profitable business.
Calculating the total value of these orders, it was as high as 7 billion gold coins!
Ingrid's body trembled. If her name wasn't on the order, she wouldn't be able to help but be tempted. If she came here to blow up the fish, she might be able to earn 10 million gold coins.
As an aristocrat of the Crimson Light Federation, Ingrid was relatively wealthy. However, 10 million gold coins was already an astonishing sum for her.
After all, although aristocrats were wealthy and had high income, their expenses were similarly high. Not many aristocrats could hold 100 million gold coins in liquid funds.
Suddenly, her expression changed drastically. She lay prone on the ground and rolled to the side.
Pa pa pa …
A row of bullet holes appeared on the deck. Only heavy sniper bullets could leave marks on the specially made deck.
"There's a sniper! Protect me! "
Ingrid shouted repeatedly. Her hair was disheveled, and she no longer had the demeanor of a female officer.
At the same time …
Similar scenes were happening in the warships and strongholds of various major organizations. Assassins and mercenaries were constantly appearing in all directions of this sea region, looking for targets to assassinate.
There were even people from various major organizations who betrayed them. After all, the value of these assassination orders was too tempting. Lumps of shiny moving gold coins were right in front of their eyes. Some people had a slight brain cramp and stabbed the knives in their hands silently.
For a time, assassination orders were completed one after another, and the value of the transactions made other assassins and mercenaries green with envy.
What made these fugitives even more envious was that the money was immediately transferred to their accounts.
It was said that those employers had paid an additional sum of money to facilitate the service of receiving the money within seconds.
Otherwise, according to the rules of assassin organizations, mercenary organizations, and black market organizations, they would have to double check and delay for a few hours before receiving the money.
These completed orders seriously stimulated the top assassins of the major assassin organizations …
Many assassins realized that this was a major event. This was a war …
News of this event would perhaps spread throughout the entire Eastern Continent in the near future.
In such an event, the success of assassinating a well-known figure was the best publicity for some unknown but powerful assassins.
As a result, more and more assassins and mercenaries rushed to the Lava Islands to get a piece of the action.
…
Such a chaotic situation was truly unbearable for the major organizations.
The alliance of the five major families, the two kingdoms, and the Dragon Clan's branch was undoubtedly an incomparably shocking force. However, this was ultimately not the full alliance of the eight major organizations.
Among the five major families, only the Colsen Family sent out more than half of their forces.
The other four major families only sent out a small portion of their forces.
Similarly, the forces dispatched by the two kingdoms were only the combined forces of one or two nobles.
It was the same for the Dragon Clan's branch …
Even if such an alliance didn't get defeated by the assassins and mercenaries with a bounty of 7 billion gold coins, they would still be exhausted.
What annoyed Ingrid the most was that they didn't even have a clue who the mastermind behind the orders was.
They originally thought that it was Hai Long's helper, but they later discovered that this wasn't the case. Some of the employers who placed the orders had already been dug out. They were actually enemies of Ingrid, Nocchi, and the others.
Moreover, the employers of these orders overlapped with each other, causing the bounty to continuously increase. The total number of orders had already exceeded 7 billion gold coins.
At three in the afternoon, which was more than an hour after the battle broke out, the battle around the Lava Islands had already escalated into a large scale war …
Boom boom boom …
The Lava Islands shook violently, and the beaches of a few islands were blasted apart. Blood was everywhere, but the sounds of battle were getting louder and louder …
The large hover car moved rapidly, heading towards a small town in the center of the island. This was a temporary stronghold that Hayashi River had set up.
"Why are there so many people …"
Hai Long covered the medicine and asked in surprise. She had already discovered that the battle had escalated.
"A bounty of 7 billion gold coins will definitely attract the attention of others. These forces have many enemies. If they know that these people are all gathered at the Lava Islands …"
Hayashi River gave a simple explanation.
Along the way, he obviously didn't just issue these bounties. He had also done many other things.
After all, the issue of these bounties was too simple. As long as he gave Mossy Bone a direction, the latter could quickly deal with it. The AI's role at this time was far more useful than Hayashi River's.
Apart from this, Hayashi River also found out the enemies of these forces, especially those that had been sworn enemies.
As long as he sent out these bounties and related information, these enemies would definitely be excited. This was undoubtedly a great opportunity for revenge.
"Can it be like this …"
Hai Long spoke intermittently. She covered the medicine to prevent it from wrinkling because of her complexion.
"Of course not all of them …"
Hayashi River held the communicator and quickly entered the information, telling Mengmeng to hurry up. Such a huge battle was the best time to dump the Redbud Base's Xinyuan equipment.
Admittedly, the Redbud Base never had to worry about selling the Xinyuan equipment. However, the situation now was different. Such a huge battle would increase the price by at least 50%.
This was a huge profit!
These bounties had cost him 7 billion gold coins. Through this channel, he could recoup some of his losses.
After sending the message, Hayashi River looked at Hai Long. Seeing the injuries on her body, the scabs had completely coagulated. He couldn't help but shake his head. The recovery ability of the dragon race was really strong.
If it was him, he wouldn't have relied on the Windmill Mist Suppression Technique without the ability of the stone ball. He wouldn't have been able to recover to this extent in less than half a month.
This was the difference between races!
Reaching out to remove the medicine, Hai Long's face had recovered. There were only some deep wounds and some light red scars.
"The injuries on my face have recovered. It just so happens that you have a mission …" Hayashi River said.
Hai Long was stunned. Although she was happy that her face had recovered, the injuries on her body were still far from being healed. If she forced herself to fight, it would only cause her injuries to relapse.
"Let's talk about it when we get there …" Hayashi River muttered.
At this moment, the figure in the driver's seat suddenly said, "Someone has entered our base …"
Hayashi River was startled and then sensed something, "It's okay. Looking at the time, they should be here by now … "
On the other side.
In a small town on the island, in a stone room, a long sword was floating on the stone table.
The sword was two meters long, with a blood colored dent in the center. The blade was like a saw, and the hilt was like a dead tree trunk, emitting a cold and bloodthirsty aura.
"The [Blood Bramble Sword] has really been activated …"
In the room, Old Aidan, Man Xi, and Hai Wuya looked at this long sword, their expressions fluctuating with shock.
