Chapter 714
714 Chapter 742: gathering…
“Kurland, you summoned us in the name of Lord Dolan, and now you’re announcing Lord Dolan’s death. What do you mean by this?”
The curtain of darkness fell. When the morning sun once again filled the city square, most of the remaining powerful forces in the city had gathered together. Compared to the previous gathering, there were much fewer people this time, moreover, their mental states did not seem to be very good.
It was very obvious that too many things had happened yesterday, and it was too depressing.
The venue of the gathering was a floating crystal square. Kurland stood at the center of the square at the podium. This was once the place where bards from many countries performed, and now he was standing here talking about matters of life and death, kurland was somewhat emotional.
“Lord Dolan has indeed met with misfortune…”. Kurland’s tone was filled with regret. “This news was learned from his first mate, Brent. According to him and his surviving subordinates, Dolan died yesterday in the Crystal Palace’s mutation raid … …”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Brent’s group standing beside the square. The Knight Group that was once second only to fordring now only had four or five people, and they looked haggard and their mental state was extremely unstable.., it was as if they had experienced a huge and terrifying incident.
“That’s not what I’m asking…”the burly man who was full of lumps sneered and said, “Since Lord Dolan is dead, why did you summon us here in the name of a dead person? Do you want to replace Dolan as the leader?”
As soon as these words were said, the surrounding people sneered and disdain flashed in their eyes. Although there were quite a number of big shots who followed fordring into the Crystal Palace last time, the remaining half were not all useless.., at least, it was not Kurland’s turn to be the king.
As soon as he said that, Johnny and Wilson, who were standing behind Kurland, slowly took a step forward. They released their aura without holding back, and the powerful pressure instantly made the face of the big man who had provoked them change!
These two guys were clearly legendary-level from their aura. Since when did Kurland have such a trump card?
The people around were also surprised…
“Let me introduce…”Kurland smiled and said, “These two are newcomers. They are the first mate and second mate of the girl from yesterday…”
Everyone was stunned when they heard that and looked at each other in bafflement. The girl from yesterday? Was that the guy who wrinkled them one by one?
Damn, that kind of pervert had teammates?
“Kurland…”. The big man said with a dark face, “What do you mean by this ? Borrowing Outsiders to suppress us ? Don’t look anymore. Yesterday, it was because of that woman that we lost a lot of power ? Even Grandfather Fodin and the others fell into it …”
Hearing this, everyone’s faces turned unfriendly. Obviously, they didn’t want to be suppressed by this sudden foreign force. The reason why they surrendered yesterday… … was mainly because that little girl’s standards were too exaggerated… …
“You mean, this is all our captain’s fault?”Johnny grinned hideously as he took a step forward, his killing intent surging… The genes in his body slowly opened up, and black fur grew all over his body. His aura was at least twice as strong as before, forcing the burly man who had spoken earlier to retreat repeatedly!
“Kurland, what is the meaning of this? Do you really treat us like Persimmon?”The burly man bypassed the aggressive Johnny and challenged Kurland instead.
Lei Xue and the others could not help but roll their eyes behind him. This burly man looked ferocious and terrifying like a boorish man, but in reality, his personality was extremely cunning. He did not dare to directly confront Johnny and only dared to show his might at Kurland. After that, he did not forget to tie everyone together to give himself more confidence…
Johnny was a rough person, but there were details. With one glance, he could see the other party’s character of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, he sneered, “Don’t talk about others with your cheap mouth. If I hear one more word from you, I Will Rip your head off. If you don’t believe me, you can try! !”
The Burly Man’s face turned black. He looked around. The people around him were not fools. They did not let him use them. Instead, they looked at him coldly as a joke. When the burly man saw this, he snorted coldly, but he really did not continue to speak. Clearly, he was scared to the end.
He could not be blamed for being spineless. Firstly, Johnny’s Aura was indeed a little shocking. Secondly, the little girl’s performance yesterday was too exaggerated. Even the captain was so powerful. How Bad could his deputy be?
“Everyone…”seeing that Johnny had suppressed the situation, Kurland smiled and said, “I did use Sir Dolan’s name. Although I had no choice, it was indeed a little unreasonable. Regarding this point, I apologize to everyone first…”
As he said this, Kurland bowed deeply with sincerity. This attitude made everyone relax a little. First, he used force to intimidate them, then he gave them a way out. Although the method was a little old-fashioned, it was indeed practical.., it made everyone’s mood much better.
The burly man who had just spoken sneered when he saw this. However, before he could speak, he saw Johnny coldly staring at him not far away. The words in the burly man’s mouth instantly choked in his throat. In the end, he did not dare to provoke him. After surviving here for so many years… He had survived all the way to legend. After all, he could still tell when he should behave and when he should behave…
When Kurland saw that the atmosphere had eased up, he also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, thus, he went straight to the point. “The reason why we used the name of the deceased was because we had no other choice. I’m sure everyone has seen that monster yesterday. In just one night, it destroyed 31 unsealed buildings, including four flour and two sausage processing plants. These things occupy almost one-third of our current city. Everyone should understand what this means, right?”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Those who had lived here for a long time knew that unsealing the buildings was a sign of survival. Even if they could not provide food and clothing, they could at least provide light and a relatively safe space. Otherwise, in the pitch-black square, even the legendary big shots would not dare to close their eyes so easily in the face of those elusive shadows…
Without food or light, it was only a matter of time before they were killed by those shadows… …
“But what can we do?”One of the big-bearded dwarves said in a muffled voice, “Do you want us to send another wave like Fordring? “You’ve seen that monster, it’s not a monster that human strength can defeat!”
“Regarding this point, let the professionals tell it…”Kurland replied indifferently.
Everyone was stunned. Professional? Who Was It?
Then, they saw a petite figure slowly walking to the front of the stage.
A woman?
Everyone was slightly stunned and thought to themselves, “There are quite a number of women on that ship, but this one is much worse than the one yesterday…”.
Actually, Lei Xue’s appearance was not bad. Her facial features were upright and at least above average. However, she was naturally incomparable to Li Goudan, who was blessed with the ELF bloodline. In addition, the people here had a more Western European style. Her skin was fair and her facial features were three-dimensional. Looking at the appearance of an ordinary yellow-skinned person like Lei Xue, she was naturally not used to it…
“Let me introduce you. This is the chief archmage of the Goudan, Lord Lei Xue…”
Everyone: “What Number?”
