Raft Survival: Fished a mermaid at the beginning

Chapter 211 What a Tragedy

The leader walked through the portal with his fully armed men.

The expressions of this group of rebels are very serious, and their momentum is not weak. Garcia has never seen these people before.

When the militiamen kneeling on the ground saw the rebels leaving, their tense nerves relaxed, and they fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

Only the man holding the detonator suddenly reacted and threw the detonator away like a ghost, then looked at the broken thumb and grinned.

He couldn't figure out how his thumb would break off.

What's up with this button?

Xiao Yang blinked and pursed his lips into a smile.

Garcia did not expect that the rebels would all attack the capital.

At this time, he didn't bother to contact the secret personnel and sell Xiao Yang's information.

All he wanted was to get back to the king and put down the rebellion.

Xiao Yang looked at Garcia and said, "Let's go."

He led the way into the portal.

After a period of trance, everyone appeared outside a ruin.

When Garcia saw the town, his expression changed drastically.

I saw that the vast ground was full of wooden piles left after the trees were felled.

As far as the eye can see!
The land is desolate and uninhabited.

"what!"

Garcia yelled, eyes widening.

Xiao Yang looked at Garcia suspiciously.

Garcia was shaking all over.

"This is my hometown! Not far from here is the imperial mausoleum!"

Before Garcia left, it was still a dense virgin forest.

There are many small animals such as squirrels and hares living in the forest.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, the entire forest was cut down.

After Xiao Yang heard it, his gaze also sank.

The whole town was burned to the ground.

Trees all over the mountains and plains have been cut down.

The mountains are bare, and the crows are circling in the sky, making screeching noises.

Thick smoke was still rising from the scorched ruins.

The stench of charred corpses filled the air.

Garcia clenched his fists, and he ran forward frantically.

Xiao Yang and Alice followed closely behind.

Garcia ran to a burnt castle, his pupils trembled violently, and he knelt down on the ground.

"Father! Jenny! My children! Where are you?"

Garcia wailed like a beast.

He rushed into the ruins, frantically moving rocks, searching for his family's whereabouts.

When Alice saw this scene, her eyes became complicated.

"What a tragedy."

Alice sighed, guessing that Garcia's family was killed.

A look of doubt flashed in Xiao Yang's eyes.

He spread out the gravitational waves and probed every inch of the area.

No remains were recovered from the castle.

Xiao Yang guessed that perhaps Garcia's relatives were still alive.

Garcia was digging wildly among the stones, his fingers dripping with blood, but he seemed unconscious.

Garcia searched for a long time, but never found the family's bones.

He roared to the sky and burst into tears.

"Ahhh!"

"Father!"

"Jenny!"

"I must avenge you!"

"Rebels! You all deserve hell!"

Garcia burst into tears, heartbroken.

He has linked everything that happened here with the rebels.

Xiao Yang looked around, and saw a magnificent city more than ten miles away.

More than a dozen giant beams of light lit up from around the city and converged over the city. The vast energy formed a giant defensive circle upside down.

The colorful brilliance is dazzling, running up and down.

The city wall is towering, there are many defensive towers, and the defense is very strict.

There are still airships floating in the sky.

"It seems that it is the capital of the king." Xiao Yang's eyes drifted into the distance.

Alice stared at the airship.

"The enemy has air supremacy, and if detected, it is very difficult to escape surveillance."

Xiao Yang nodded, "From now on, we have to be more careful, it's best to put on a little camouflage."

The light in Xiao Yang's hand flickered, and a weird rubber mask appeared.

Alice looked at the mask, frowning.

"So ugly?" She refused in her heart.

"In order not to attract attention, we'd better keep a low profile, otherwise we will be targeted by the enemy soon."

Xiao Yang handed out the mask with a smile.

Garcia searched for a long time, but did not find the family's bones.

Xiao Yang said: "If you believe me, I want to say that your family members may be alive!"

A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Garcia's heart.

He looked at Xiao Yang in shock.

He knew that Xiao Yang would not intentionally comfort himself, because it was unnecessary.

Garcia's eyes lit up with fire.

"Father, no matter where you are, I will definitely rescue you."

Garcia turned his head and looked at Xiao Yang.

"I know a secret passage to enter the palace. I must find the king and ask."

Xiao Yang's voice became low, "Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to kill your king?"

Garcia shook his head.

"I believe His Excellency Xiao Yang is an upright person, and King Howard III is old, so there is no need for you to take action against him."

"Even if the king dies, the prince will succeed, and the war will not change."

Xiao Yang thought for a moment and agreed to Garcia's request.

……

The secret passage was built in the royal mausoleum, which Xiao Yang did not expect.

Garcia explained: "This secret passage was built by Howard I and it took 30 years."

"The purpose of construction is mainly for refuge."

"The Principality of Howard was not so stable back then."

"Back then, there were seven grand dukes who lived together in separate regimes and formed a principality."

"Later, civil strife broke out among the grand dukes, known in history as the Seven Dukes' Rebellion."

"In the end, Grand Duke Howard used force to force the other grand dukes to submit and became the first king."

"He reduced the military power of the grand dukes and drove them out of the capital."

"After Howard I came to power, he worked hard to govern, and the forces of various ethnic groups in the kingdom gradually merged."

"The grand dukes saw that the benefits of peace were far higher than war, so they settled down and busied themselves with making money and enjoying themselves."

"In the next few hundred years, the principality will be in good order, and this secret passage will not be used anymore."

"So now the Principality of Howard can be called the Principality or the Kingdom."

"Later, several other countries followed suit, and the small countries merged to form the Principality."

"Howard I is definitely an outstanding person!"

Garcia told some of the history of the Principality of Howard.

Xiao Yang nodded slightly, looking forward.

This is a stone passage built underground.

There are special vents, and the swishing cold wind blows head-on.

Garcia lit the torch and led the way.

"This secret passage is very deep, and the defensive circle did not block the passage. I used to carry out the king's secret missions, and I used to leave the king's capital from here."

Garcia explained as he walked.

In the passage, the shadows of the three stretched very long.

……

In the exquisite palace, the golden bell rang ten times.

King Howard sat down on his throne in a slumped state.

He discussed state affairs with his ministers last night and stayed up most of the night.

A century-old king like him has always felt that something is wrong with his body recently.

Especially after drinking the longevity potion sent by Rasputin.

Rasputin is Oliver's teacher, so Howard III naturally wouldn't doubt him.

Are you really getting old?

Howard felt melancholy for a while.

Howard has been in power for more than 80 years, during which he fought in the South and the North, and is well-known in the East China Sea.

There are so many strong people in the country, and the magic academy is built here.

Neighboring countries dare not covet it either.

The vicious pirates didn't even dare to make up their minds.

……

Howard raised his head, his dim eyes swept down the hall.
