Chapter 614 Hunting Henrak (4)
February 10th.
It has been a few days since Joe returned to Tulum Port.
He fully interpreted the essence of the word "rice insect". For several days, he ate and slept and ate. For several days, he was either on the way to the restaurant or on the way to the bedroom.
Ficket visited the door with a generous gift, and ended with Tifa's severe injury to one of his confidant guards with a hammer.
Fickel and Lucien left the Vitu family in disgrace, and the gifts he brought were donated directly by Tifa to the workhouse of the Yingui Church in Tulum Port.
This time, the Vitu family offended Fericket a lot.
Ficket was still full of some inexplicable fantasies about Tifa, and at this special time point, he was not stupid enough to use any extraordinary means to retaliate.
But for several days, no matter day and night, on the top of Mount St. Hilde, in the sky three thousand feet above the ground, there was an artillery balloon floating on it, two elite naval watchers squatting on it, holding a telescope and staring at the Vitu family.
With such behavior, everyone's every move in the yard of Vitu's family was clearly seen, without any privacy.
Angry, Leah gathered a group of female owners from Mount St. Heard and ran to Ferrit's headquarters to protest.
Ficket did not show up, and Lucien received the top ladies of Tulum Port with a full set of naval documents - those documents stated that in view of the recent tensions, the Derren Empire Marines set up a floating observation post on the top of Mount St. Hildes to ensure that Tulum Port will not be subject to sudden attacks in any direction!
This is a very high-sounding reason.
Moreover, Mount St. Hilde is indeed the commanding height of Tulum Port. Artillery balloons are suspended directly above the top of the mountain, with no obstacles around it, and the field of view is extremely wide enough to ensure the safety of Tulum Port.
Leah was extremely annoyed about Lucien's official explanation, but she had no choice but to do anything to them.
People are right, the multinational coalition forces are about to launch an attack, and Tulun Port may become a battlefield at any time. Before, there was a raid team sent by the local fleet of the Ice Sea Kingdom that was completely wiped out. No matter how careful it is, it is natural.
So, Liya could only stand in the yard every day, watching the artillery balloon floating above her head and was furious.
The lookout hand on the artillery balloon was also unconcealed. He held a telescope and looked directly at the Weitu family mansion in the mid-mountain area. They would not take a look at other directions at all.
What annoyed Leah even more was that when Tifa went to the District Court these days, there were often sneaky people near her carriage.
The guards of the Weitu family took ruthless action and caught a few unlucky people who were following the side...
But before the escort of the Vitu family could teach these guys a lesson, they immediately took out the documents of the naval intelligence officer, and kept saying that they were performing official duties - before the war broke out, eliminate spies from various countries in the city of Tulun Port!
Another extremely high-sounding and upright excuse.
This incident even alarmed Duke Ross, who was already busy. Finally, after Duke Ross' persuasion, Riya ordered the arrested naval intelligence officers to release.
Then, these guys' actions became even more unscrupulous. They even rode horses in groups, tracking and following the people who were out of the Vitu family.
"If the situation in the market was not too tense recently, I would have shown them good-looking... Ah, Hesen is not at home, would they have the courage to bully us old, young, women and children?"
"Hohoho, when this inexplicable war is over... I will definitely make them look good!"
"Ah, damn... Joe, what are the messy tree roots, turf, stone bumps you asked me to purchase? It also cost so much money... If you don't give me a definite, convincing excuse... I will let you relive the maternal love that bloomed in your childhood!"
Liya was already a little furious.
And as Leah said, the situation in Tulum Port has become extremely tense.
Outside the valley border line leading to the mountains to the west, mercenary squads in the mountainous areas have begun to appear. According to the information feedback from the reconnaissance team of the Tulun Port garrison, a large number of tens of thousands of mercenary squads have gathered in several small plains in the western mountainous areas, among which a small number of regular troops from the United Kingdom of Nice were mixed.
To the east of Tulum Port, the winged cavalry of the Duchy of Portland, the heavy armored knights of the Duchy of Odel, and the forest cruisers of the Duchy of Bichel, have appeared in groups.
According to the information received by Duke Ross from those vassal states of the Lucian Empire, more troops of the Lucian vassal states are constantly spreading...
A prince of the Lucian royal family was rushing to the Principality of Portland day and night. He will take over the combined army of more than 20 vassal states as the commander-in-chief of this war, and the number of joint troops that have been found to be absolutely more than 600,000.
Tulun Port Railway Station has been overloaded in the past few days.
In just a few days, more than two hundred armies arrived from the north. They sent five local garrison troops with full divisions, as well as countless armed ordnance, ammunition, dry food, medicine and other supplies.
In particular, thirty newly formed Marine divisions distributed in the three provinces north of Tulun Port and among the ten recruit training camps also arrived at Tulun Port one after another.
These newly formed Marine divisions began to dig trenches and lay out defense lines on the eastern and western fronts of Tulum Port.
All the ordnance sent by the army has been distributed.
These fully loaded military trains unloaded their ordnance supplies at Tulun Port Railway Station. The empty carriages were quickly filled with people carrying large and small bags, and they returned to the north with a "hurry" grunt.
In just a few days, those who "should leave" in Tulun Port have basically all left.
The Junkers who relied on wealth to become nobles, all the young and old, both men and women, left by train. When they left, all their gold, silver and soft gold were packed and taken away except for the property and fields that they could not take away.
The ship owners and merchants who owned huge property also left Tulun Port with their families.
In war, those who have wealth but do not match power are the most dangerous.
They are the fattest lambs. In war, both the enemy and us may chew on them hard. War represents chaos, killing, the destruction of human nature and the collapse of morality, and anything can happen.
If they only have a few pitiful Jinmaks on their hands, then they will be safe even in war.
But when they held millions of Jinmaks in their hands, but did not protect the power and strength of these Jinmaks, they were the ones who were most susceptible to the disaster in the war.
Tulum Port, the women, children and relatives of the Teutonic nobles also took the train to leave Tulum Port, which was about to become the battlefield.
And all the men of the Teutonic nobles, as long as they were adult men, regardless of whether they were active soldiers or not, they all picked up weapons and joined the enemy army.
Any adult men, including those old guys who are already gray-haired, are arrogantly wearing ancestral armor, hanging various medals left by their ancestors, carrying various weapons, like drops of water blending into the river, and naturally blending into the army.
The ordinary citizens of Tulum Port remained.
They are just ordinary people, they don’t have a wealth of wealth, and even if they are despicable, they can’t get too much oil from them. Why do they run away?
Most of them are natives of the Kassica... Isn't it the same whether it is the Delun Empire or other countries, who are ruled by them?
The city foxes and rats in Tulun Port stayed happily.
War is dangerous... But for those of you, the risks of war are obviously not as good as the opportunities that war may bring them. In war, as long as they seize the opportunity to make a vote, perhaps their lifetime of wealth will be in it.
Even if you don’t have such luck, it’s easy to get some sweet things.
For example, the tender and cute little girl in the neighbor's next door has been itchy for a long time. On weekdays, there are police officers who are staring at her and dare not take action. But in the war... right? Everyone knows it.
Except for these all kinds of people, none of the seven-member committee members led by the Vitu family who actually controls Tulun Port left.
In the past few days, several newspapers in Tulum Port have been crazily advocating the "heroic" and "fairness" of the Seven-member Committee family!
The slogan of "Saving and dying with Tulun Port and fighting to the death with the invaders" has long been spread throughout Tulun Port through the family of the Seven-member Committee, spreading throughout the Southern Special Zone, and is spreading towards the Dren Empire and the entire Medland Continent at a storm speed.
The situation is fermenting, and all parties are preparing in full swing.
Three more days passed.
The Vitu family mansion is in that huge tree house like a bird's nest.
Hundreds of huge beer barrels were placed neatly in front of Qiao. Qiao carefully poured a little red potion into the beer barrel.
In the huge beer barrel, the originally turbid juice rolled rapidly, and a strange smell drifted out, and countless fine bubbles rolled in the juice. The color of the turbid juice began to change slowly, and finally turned into a viscous liquid that was as red as blood.
Joe sniffed the smell of liquid in the beer barrel, reached out his finger and dipped it in some juice, put it on his tongue and tasted it.
‘Puff, puff, puff’, Joe spat a few hard saliva, and he murmured: “Laplahi, these amounts are enough to deal with that Henrak? Ah, I volunteered to hunt this big guy if I sacrifice it…”
"Well, just a small and miscellaneous species with impure blood... You should be more ambitious. For example, did you sacrifice the divine beast in the Ice Sea Kingdom and the real descendant of the pure blood of the deep-sea giant demon?"
Laplaci's laughter became more and more sharp.
Chapter completed!
