Chapter 987 Edward Newgate (11)
Edward Newgate looked at Yun Ci's confident look and couldn't take his eyes off her for a long time.
He heard his heartbeat quickening again.
But he consciously suppressed it.
"Here we are."
"Ah."
Edward Newgate looked at the house in front of him that belonged to him, and the emotions in his heart were indescribable.
He walked quietly, solemnly, slowly and seriously to every corner of the house - carrying Yunci.
Every time she passed a door, Yun Ci would subconsciously dodge, even though she knew that the seven-meter-high door would not hit her head.
This is what is meant by, 'In my perception, my height is taller than this seven-meter-high door'.
Yun Ci swayed back and forth, but failed to shake Edward Newgate back to reality from his excitement.
I can only continue to accompany him and watch, and then hide.
Edward Newgate only later noticed Yun Ci's evasion and burst out laughing for a moment.
"Don't worry, I won't hit your head."
He is so tall and can walk around with his back straight, how could he bump into Yun Ci?
Besides, he is also a freeloader. If there are signs of being hit, he will protect Yun Ci.
Yun Ci touched her nose and shifted her gaze to the left: "I know."
Isn't it the feeling that you're going to be hit?
This shows that she is very confident about her height.
With a bit of doting in his eyes, Edward Newgate and Yun Ci stopped in the living room and sat on the sofa.
All the furniture here is huge.
But it’s not as exaggerated as in the Land of Giants.
Edward Newgate once again thanked Yunci solemnly, and then talked about business -
It has been a long time since there has been such an evil incident as the killing of the Celestial Dragons.
The Five Elders were stunned when they heard the news. They guessed the names of several pirates who were now famous, but they all got negative answers.
"Elf Island?"
"What is that place?"
When they heard that it was just a small island that had become famous in recent years for its special food, the five old men looked at each other.
"The people on that island are the 'D Clan'?"
The navy who came to report shook his head.
"As far as we know, there's no one with a D in their name."
That would be strange.
How could an ordinary island have the courage to go against them?
There must be someone behind them.
With this in mind, the Five Elders issued orders to the admirals, specifically instructing them not to kill them and to "wait until you find out who is behind them before killing them."
No matter what the three contemporary generals thought in their hearts, one of them finally appeared near the waters of the Elf Island.
Dozens of naval warships surrounded the entire Elf Island. At that time, only the islanders of the main island were left on the Elf Island. The rest of the people ran away on the day Yun Ci and his men killed the Celestial Dragons.
The merchants with whom they had good relations had reminded them to run away first and avoid the limelight during this period. Even if they went to sea as pirates and were wanted, it was better than staying and waiting to die.
"——We know you are strong, but no matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than the world government? They can wear you down with just their numbers..."
After being rejected, the old merchant sighed, shook his head and walked away.
Yun Ci and Edward Newgate stood at the dock, seeing off group of people after group, including his fellow pirates.
"Sad?"
Edward Newgate looked at the pirate ship gradually going away and shook his head slightly.
"I'm glad they're willing to leave—"
The next time the two stood at the dock was on the day the admiral arrived.
The escort team wore all kinds of special equipment that Yunci had collected for them when they went out to sea, and scattered around the beaches where they could land on the island.
Anna stayed behind to protect the ordinary islanders - although there were not many of them.
There were only Yun Ci and Edward Newgate at the dock.
Yun Ci's hair was loose, and she tied it into a high ponytail, which was rare.
The white suspender skirt that she always wore was also changed into a T-shirt and shorts.
The sandals were replaced by mid-calf boots, which made a very steady sound when walking.
Yun Ci had a knife slung around her waist, her right hand lazily resting on the hilt, and from a distance she met the eyes of one of the three great generals of this era.
“There are so many people coming.”
The admiral stood at the bow of the ship and met Yun Ci's eyes from afar. He never expected that the Elf King of this Elf Island was actually a girl in her twenties.
but--
He also has his responsibilities.
The admiral signaled, and the sailors nearby raised their loud speakers and shouted toward the island.
The main point is that they know there is someone behind the Elf Island, and if they are willing to turn from darkness to light, they will spare the lives of everyone on the island.
If they are unwilling, only death will await them.
Yun Ci didn't want them to blame all the mistakes on the Elf Island, as if they were all murderers.
She also took out a large speaker, which had a much longer sound transmission capability than the navy's.
Yun Ci cleared her throat and listed a series of crimes, including the unexpected landing of the Tianlong people on the island and the attempt to make all of them slaves.
For such a large-scale action, there must be newspaper offices and the like nearby watching, and I think the news will spread quickly.
The admiral's expression became increasingly grim.
——No matter what, she can’t be allowed to continue talking.
The admiral did not hesitate and gave the order directly: "Attack!"
"Yes!"
Countless shells were fired at the Elf Island.
The strong wind swayed and blew the flowers planted on the edge of the Elf Island. Petals of different colors mixed together and were blown up by the wind.
——It’s so beautiful.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ai ran out decisively, with countless cameras floating around her, aiming at the Elf Island.
Yun Ci: “…”
He is worthy of being called 'Director Xiao Ai'.
Although Yun Ci didn't expect that Xiao Ai would go to learn acting classes and eventually get a unified director and photography certificate, it was still a gain.
Worthy of praise.
Edward Newgate held the long broadsword given to him by Yun Ci in his hand, and swung it fiercely, cutting the cannonball in half while it was still in the air.
Compared to his 'heavy' weight, Yunci is much 'lighter'.
She held the knife, moving through the air as nimbly as a cloud.
Wherever the shells passed, they fell silently into the sea, making a muffled sound.
"General, no, we can't get in."
"We'll dock and land on the island."
"Yes!"
Yun Ci swung his sword and said, "We are not afraid of close combat!"
The sound of weapons clashing resounded through the sky.
The land on the shore gradually became more bloody.
The escort team also suffered casualties, but no one was killed.
Edward Newgate was fighting one against a hundred, and each blow would take the lives of several navy men.
Yun Ci was better off, as she kicked many navy soldiers into the seabed.
'boom--! ’
A loud bang was heard from the warship that was maintaining the encirclement.
The admiral turned his head sharply and saw warships becoming damaged and beginning to sink.
He looked at Yun Ci's smiling face with a grim expression and clenched his fists.
"Do you want to take everyone on this island to die?"
"That's ridiculous. You're here to kill us."
