Valang didn't care whether there were spies from the Far South following him. Even the rumors that these fishermen could discuss openly were known to the Far South Empire long before.
"What did you say!"
As if he had grasped the last thread of hope, Valan questioned the fisherman who seemed to be bragging rather than describing the facts.
His questioning frightened the surrounding fishermen. Although Valan possessed the royal blood of this country, and his pointed ears showed the characteristics of elven blood, his physique was not "elven" at all.
Argen, who is two meters tall, has a back as broad as a bear's, muscles as hard as rocks, gray hair on his temples and a murderous look in his eyes.
As long as Arang stood among this group of fishermen, whose average height was about 1.6 meters, they would be so scared that they would run away.
"Repeat what you just said to me again." Ajan took out a gray feather coin with a face value of twenty and stuffed it into the fisherman's hand. The fisherman gradually calmed down.
"Sir, are you interested in Scarre's blood crystal beast disaster?" asked the fisherman.
"I want to know how Scarre eliminated those blood crystal beasts!"
Ajan had heard about the invasion of Scarre by blood crystal beasts a year ago, which caused panic among the people of the entire Far South Continent during that period.
The existence of the Blood Crystal Beast had only been recorded in some ancient books on the Far South Continent in the past. It was the first time that Arang's generation had encountered it that it actually appeared in this world.
"It was God. God protected Skarre and sent down fire from the sky to burn those blood crystal beasts into ashes." The fisherman said in a firm tone.
But to Valanciunas these words sounded like nonsense.
"My Lord, you have to believe me! I often sail to and from the Silver Sail City in the Xiu Enzhe Kingdom. Every tavern in Silver Sail City I go to is discussing this. It can't be false!"
What the fishermen said always sounded like rumors to Agen, but the appearance of such rumors meant that there was a certain degree of truth to them.
While Valan was lost in thought, there was a sudden commotion on the street in the distance.
A huge blood crystal beast that looked like a pterodactyl appeared above the street.
The blood crystal beast obeyed instantly, and used its scissor-like claws to grab a civilian on the street and lift it into the air. At this moment, the civilian's head was torn into pieces by the blood crystal beast and swallowed into its stomach.
Blood fell on the muddy street like raindrops, and the entire port was instantly in chaos.
Even here, a blood crystal beast appeared
When Valan saw the pterodactyl hovering in the sky, the first thing he thought of was his wife and daughter who lived on the edge of the city.
He instantly passed through the chaotic crowd and ran quickly back to the hotel on the edge of Osprey Harbor.
"Aini!"
Valan pushed the door and rushed into the room in the hotel. The first thing he did was to look for his daughter.
His six-year-old daughter, Aini, was sleeping beside her mother's bed, and the servants in the room were frightened by Valan's sudden intrusion.
"Everyone else, please go out for now. Fok, you stay." Valgen waved his hand to signal the servants to leave temporarily, leaving behind only the most loyal servant.
"Your Highness, do you have any instructions?" The servant had already noticed the chaos outside the inn.
"Take this money and hire one or two convoys, saying that you are going to the Principality of Leslota, tomorrow morning."
Valan took out a small bag of money and handed it to the servant. The servant did not ask any questions, took the money bag and walked out of the hotel immediately.
Arang was certain that the blood crystal beast that appeared in Osprey City was here to find his daughter.
His daughter Aini inherited the last seed of the country's earth vein core. Those damn blood crystal beasts must have gathered here because they smelled the scent of the earth vein core.
If Arang continues to stay in this country, his daughter will sooner or later become food for the blood crystal beast.
"Father, can this city cure Mother's illness?" Young Annie rubbed her eyes and woke up from her sleep. The first sentence she said after waking up made Valang at a loss for how to answer.
Valgen did not tell her what was happening in her country. This was too much for a child to bear.
"No, Annie...we have to go to the next city." Agen rubbed his daughter's hair.
At this time, Valan's wife lying on the bed also opened her eyes. She seemed to have heard the discussion between Valan and her daughter.
"Where... can we go next?" she asked her husband in a weak voice.
"Scarlett, Xiu Enzhe is coming. I'm not sure, but we have to leave here." Ajan said.
It would take more than five days to take a boat from Osprey Harbor to Skarre or Xiuenzhe. Ajan didn't know if his wife's weak body could make it.
The best options now are to leave his wife in Osprey City and find someone to take care of her, or to directly seek refuge in the Far South Empire.
But Valan knew that his wife would not agree with his decision, as her character was much stronger and more stubborn than her husband's.

"Do you really want to transfer the upper city ship here? There is no port maintenance here!"
The next day, Lu Cheng woke up and had just finished his morning exercise when he received a reply from the research base, which concluded that the attack route should be via the sea.
If they march directly by land, they will have to cross two countries. The military passage rights of the two countries are no problem. Xiu Enzhe will definitely agree to it. When the rabbits of the other country pass by, they probably won't dare to say anything.
The problem is that there is no decent "road" along the way, and you are basically crossing mountains and hills.
If there were a highway, it might take about four days to reach the war zone, but now it takes at least a month.
Therefore, the sea route is the most reliable. The Shangcheng is a missile destroyer. If it sails at full speed, it will take less than two days to reach the target war zone.
The problem is that there is no suitable port in this world to dock a missile destroyer.
"Doesn't the special zone construction report mention... a suitable area for port construction?" Professor Li's face appeared on the screen of Lu Cheng's laptop video.
"Is there any misunderstanding on the side of the planning discussion regarding the teleportation power I currently possess?"
Lu Cheng remembered that every time there was a project that required the use of a large amount of energy, he reported it to the research base, but after hearing Professor Li's question... the research base wanted to urge Lu Cheng to build the port as soon as possible.
"Okay, I will urge the engineering team to focus on building a simple docking port first." Lu Cheng took a look at the current construction plan of the camp.
The planned port is located in a part of the lower reaches of the Green Leaf River, where the water flow is sufficient to support the entry and exit of some 10,000-ton ships.
The upper city ship that the research base plans to send over has a displacement of approximately 7,000 tons.
There is also a small question: is the estuary of the Green Leaf River located in the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai, or is it an important port city in the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai
However, as for Xiu Enzhe's military passage to the kingdom, Lu Cheng should have no problem saying hello to the king. The king may even expect the missile destroyer to stay in his port for a while.
