Chapter 17: Diablo's Concerns
The Amazon Guard of Shartra quickly took over the port terminal, and the entire port town went under martial law.
Once again, all professionals in the town will have to go through a more detailed and rigorous audit to prevent any more evil people from infiltrating the town.
Xue Hua, who has fully recovered from his injuries, and Kane, who is worried, are closely protected by the Amazon Guard, the former is an important guest invited by the Storm Queen Sarah String Song to attend the promotion ceremony, and the latter is the wise man of Hradim, who is famous in the whole world.
If such two people have an accident under the noses of the local guard, the captain of the guard team is estimated to have the heart to commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea.
But it wasn't the Shartra side that suffered the most from the attack – they lost a trestle, but the simple wooden structure was quickly rebuilt.
The biggest loss was the owner of the "White Fin Whale", when the attack began, he was sending people to pile the ship's valuable cargo on the trestle, and the violent explosion not only completely destroyed the trestle, but also burned those valuable goods to ashes, which alone was enough to make the owner want to jump into the sea.
Not to mention that the assassins' suicide attacks also killed more than half of the seafarers on the fin whale, not to mention the family pensions of those seamen, even without these seamen, how the fin whale would continue its next trade voyage is a big problem.
This series of losses added up, and the owner of the fin whale really almost stood on top of the mast......
After learning the hard way, the owner of the fin whale, Mr. Digo, found Xue Hua and Kane in the tavern with a bitter look on his face, and after a series of searches by the Amazon guards, he was able to meet the two men who were talking about the assassination.
"Two noble gentlemen, please do well, and let me go, poor little businessman... Here's the fare you gave me before you got on the ship, a lot of people are here, you can change a boat to Howorth, I can't afford to toss this small business......"
Brother Di cried bitterly and said to Xue Hua, and the whole person had to kneel down for him.
Hearing his miserable and bitter complaint, Xue Hua couldn't help but look at Kane and smile bitterly.
If the original sea giant incident can still be classified as an accident of bad luck by the shipowner, then the assassination at the port has completely put Xue Hua on the blacklist of "must not continue to approach".
"Okay, we'll figure it out ourselves, but you better get this bag back, plus that, it's a little compensation for the crew."
Xue Hua shook his head helplessly, opened the money bag handed by the shipowner, filled it with gold coins, and handed it back again.
"It's... How dare you... I ......"
"Where is all this nonsense? If you take it, you will take it! ”
As soon as Xue Hua glared, the shipowner was immediately stunned, after the giant incident, he didn't hear the "moody" character of this powerful professional from the mouths of his crew.
Besides, he really needed a sum of money to recruit new crews from Shartra to continue the trade, and the bag of gold that Xue Hua gave him was basically enough to make up for the loss of his goods.
The shipowner, Digo, took the money bag and thanked Dade for leaving, but Xue Hua and Kane fell into a long silence.
The desperate horrific assassination of the Evil Pact shocked both of them, especially when Xue Hua told Kane what the last assassin had said, and the wise man's face was full of worry.
The little girl Aman was sitting at the bar on the side, drinking juice without a sip, and her face was also full of worry about Xue Hua.
She had already regarded Xue Hua as her only family member when she was "introduced" to the deity by Xue Hua's will clone in King's Harbor, and now her family had just suffered such a horrific assassination, which reminded the girl of her brother who died tragically at home in the harbor area of King's Harbor......
Xue Hua saw the worry on the little girl's face, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to touch her little head, and winked at her, revealing a "peace of mind" expression.
"Xue, you should be careful in the future, this assassination of the Evil Pact is likely to be just a demonstration by Diablo against you.
It wants you to know that it has noticed you and has put you on the list of things to focus on. ”
Kane was not as easy to appease as the little girl Aman, and he bluntly pointed out the ultimate purpose of the Dreaddemon God's plan for this assassination, and warned Xue Hua with a worried face.
In the more than 1,000 years of struggle against hell, mankind in the First World has produced countless heroes and heroes.
But only a few of these heroes are able to make a big difference in the end.
The reason for this is that the Hellish Gods used the Evil Covenanters who defected to the enemy and rebelled against the enemy to spy on these heroes and assassinate them almost pervasively, and many of the new professional stars who showed great talent in the early days died under this kind of crazy assassination.
Kane was worried that Xue Hua would follow in the footsteps of those rookies, after all, the potential he showed and the powerful race he led were the brightest rays of hope that humanity had never seen in so many years.
"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile yet!"
Xue Hua raised his wine glass and took a sip, wiped his mouth and continued: "If you really count it seriously, there are not a few Hell Demon Gods I have offended, there are more lice and no itching, and there are more debts... What's more, even if Diablo doesn't come to trouble me, I'll soon have to go to the Second World to find them to settle the score. ”
Previously, when Xue Hua watched Zagara and Stokoff clean up the mysterious sand dune area, Isha gave him a report on the current state of the swarm.
The current Zerg Hive Group uses the barrier mountains of the First World as the main resource point, and with the scattered resource supply from other locations and the resource input of the Zerg Hive in the asteroid belt, it has secretly developed a very terrifying force in this world.
All of the First World's Swarm Legions combined, now surpassing the five million mark.
And as long as Xue Hua is willing to use full power, the swarm can still provide him with more than 500,000 Zerg units every day, which is enough to confront the army of hell head-on in the second world.
What's more, the current swarm unit has also reached a level very close to the level of the swarm led by Sarah Kerrigan in the previous life game in terms of various upgrades and evolutions - level 30.
Such a swarm of both quantity and quality is even qualified to appear on the eternal battlefield.
And as long as Xue Hua can complete the first stage of sublimation skill progress filling, the swarm will follow in his footsteps and make another comprehensive main nest evolution upgrade, and at that time, the swarm will probably completely surpass the true body legion of the hell army in terms of individual strength.
And most crucially, this is far from the end of the evolution of the swarm.
Whether it's the "Golden Bug Tide" program that Kyles and Abbather are intensifying their research on.
Or the "Planetary Activation" plan that Zuzad is speeding up will eventually bring an unimaginably powerful boost to the swarm.
Once they finally get to that point, what the Hell side needs to consider is probably how to get Xue Hua to accept their unconditional surrender.
