    Chapter 26 Auntie pulled out his scales to make a burial object

    Lu Qinian picked up a piece of gravel, shook it in his hand a few times, and was about to throw it towards the bear’s head, when he heard the lion tribe orc stop him.

    “Okay, it’s almost done. There are still a bunch of rocks to move.” The lion orc frowned in dissatisfaction.

    The orcs who were working were injured, and they had to move the stone. Naturally, the lion orcs were dissatisfied.

    The bear man glanced at him. Although the three major tribes were equal, they only cooperated temporarily. If they really wanted to win the mermaid tribe, there would be no peace between them, but they would have to give a little less favor at the moment.

    Thinking that he was just looking for an excuse to relieve his boredom, he grunted dissatisfiedly and put away the whip: “Forget it this time, if you don’t work hard next time, I will kill you.”

    The orcs of the Mink Tribe nodded in response with frightened eyes, stood up tremblingly, and struggled to lift the stone and walk away.

    Several orcs had ulterior motives, but their expressions were extremely harmonious, and they gathered around and laughed.

    “Let’s go.” Lu Qinian withdrew his gaze and moved towards the seaside in another direction.

    The leaves were rustled by the strong wind, and the sea breeze became stronger as he got closer to the seaside, blowing Lu Qinian’s short hair into a mess.

    Lu Qinian squatted by the roots of the tree and looked at the entire beach. A large number of orcs were doing hard work carrying stones. The orcs from the three major tribes were fully equipped. They were not wearing ordinary cloth armor, but armor made of the scales of some kind of fish.

    The colors of the scales are colorful, and almost every color can be clearly seen on them, but… there is no black among these scales.

    And, it looks very familiar.

    The bamboo guard’s eyes fell on the scales – his face instantly turned blue.

    “It’s mermaid scales.”

    Lu Qinian’s gaze paused, and his fingers holding the tree trunk tightened instantly.

    The three major clans are so crazy that they actually made armor out of mermaid scales!

    The bamboo guard moved his eyes away and looked towards the deep sea: “We can’t go back.”

    Lu Qinian looked at the back of the observation deck.

    In the middle of the observation deck is Tiger Mountain.

    He is the second son of the Tiger King, the second highness of the Tiger Clan. According to the order of succession, he has no inheritance rights. The Tiger Clan’s crusade led by him is more like the last chance to fight for the inheritance rights.

    The mission is completed and Hushan has the right to inherit.

    If the mission fails, Hushan will not only lose his inheritance rights, but he will also be abandoned by the Hu clan and lose his life.

    Lu Qinian squinted his eyes, his gaze fell on the huge boulder pushed into the mountain, and he looked at the silent ocean.

    They can’t go out.

    “Get ready.” Hushan’s cold voice sounded.

    The guard on the side shouted loudly: “Get ready!”

    Voices came out one after another, resounding throughout the entire beach. Orcs wearing scaly armor held weapons in their hands and stood in line, kneeling on one knee under the observation tower.

    All the orcs shouted words to encourage morale. Except for the orcs from the three major tribes, the rest of the orcs were controlled in one place.

    “You guys, come with me.” A lion orc wearing ordinary cloth armor pointed at dozens of orcs and said.

    The orcs who were named followed him with ashen faces.

    Lu Qinian narrowed his eyes, guessed the other party’s plan and turned around: “Find a way to send the letter to the bottom of the sea.”

    The bamboo guard also guessed it and nodded to make arrangements.

    The orcs were pushed in front of several strange wooden carts and looked at each other in confusion.

    The lion orc pointed at the wooden cart in front of him and introduced its purpose: “You are divided into two teams. One team is responsible for moving the stone into this pit, and the other team is responsible for pressing this thing down. Wait for His Highness’s order. Do you hear it clearly?”

    The manufacturing method of trebuchets is simple, but the materials are precious, and there are only less than five units.

    Knowing that they would not be silenced by the other party, the orcs breathed a sigh of relief and shouted in unison: “It’s clear.”

    The lion orcs nodded with satisfaction.

    The bamboo guard habitually asked the elf for his opinion: “Holy Son, what should we do?”

    “Wait.”

    Lu Qinian turned around and leaned against the tree trunk, his eyes closed.

    According to the rocks pushed into the mountain, the three major tribes may have been stationed here for several days, but they still haven’t taken action until now, or they are short of necessities.

    Either that or there are important people who haven’t come yet.

    The bamboo guard didn’t understand but didn’t ask. He sat at the root of a tree to rest.

    seabed.

    Alessi’s face in the study was gloomy, his fists clenched and veins bulging: “Where do you think Thor is?”

    The guard knelt on the ground and hit his head on the ground: “Yes, on the beach.”

    “Bang——”

    The long wooden table was shaken by the shots.

    The cold and angry voice went straight to the guards: “I told you! I told you to keep an eye on him and not allow him to come over! What do you do for food?! A bunch of trash!”

    Alessi’s whole face was dripping with cold blood.

    The guard trembled in fright, and his body couldn’t stop shaking: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty. I don’t know why, but the only message Commander Zhu just sent was this sentence. He said, he said that the orcs on the beach had accumulated many huge rocks and planned to fill the sea.”

    If Lu Qinian hears this sentence, he must ask the bamboo guards how to fill the sea with stones.

    Alexi knew the situation on land and naturally knew what the elves meant. However, when he thought about the possibility of the elves being harmed, he suddenly felt an unprecedented fear in his heart.

    “Get out.”

    The guard stumbled out of the study, and Lingtang and Yangluo pushed the door open respectfully.

    In the main seat, Alessi frowned and said in a low voice: “Hurry up and make a quick decision.”

    Lingtang and Yangluo were stunned, and subconsciously looked at each other.

    *

    Deep in the forest, a group of tiger orcs wearing cloth armor walked toward the beach around an orc wearing priest robes.

    “I’ve seen the high priest.” The tiger orcs standing guard saluted quickly.

    The high priest said in a long voice: “Where is Your Highness?”

    “Back to the high priest, His Highness is on the observation deck.”

    Xiong Tian and Shilong had already led the team to prepare for the attack. As long as Hushan stood on the observation deck, the high priest’s face changed slightly when he walked onto the observation deck, and then returned to normal.

    “Your Highness.” The high priest saluted.

    Hushan glanced at him and hummed impatiently.

    He hates being called His Highness the Second Highness the most. This title reminds him all the time that his identity is a joke in the Tiger Clan.

    His Highness is a kind-hearted and capable person, and is the recognized heir of the Tiger Clan, but will he die too soon?

    But not only was his father unwilling to make him his heir, he also doted on his useless younger brother who only knew how to eat. The high priest was the first person who disagreed with making him his heir.

    Hushan didn’t have a good look on him, so the high priest said indifferently: “Your Highness, I am here to bring the king’s oral instructions.”

    Hu Shan frowned and pretended to bow in salute.

    The high priest said: “The king has decreed that Hushan must not attack the mermaid tribe, encounter the mermaid tribe, or destroy the balance between the mermaids and the orcs. This matter must be successful and undefeated.”

    Hushan’s expression changed, and he lowered his voice and said, “What do you mean?! You also agreed to the crusade! And the three major clans also established a document, father…” He paused for a moment, vaguely aware of something in his heart, and muttered in a daze: “What will happen if we lose?”

    “The king said that if we fail, then His Highness will take charge of this matter personally and have nothing to do with the Tiger Clan.”

    Hushan lost consciousness for a moment, and these words pierced his chest like a sharp blade.

    He said in disbelief: “I am the second highness of the Tiger Clan. It is impossible for my father to treat me like this.”

    The high priest smiled softly: “If he wins, he is the Second Highness; if he loses, he is the unknown person.”

    As he spoke, he patted Hushan on the shoulder.

    ——Crack.

    Hushan patted his palm down, and the high priest patted his black robe carelessly, then turned and returned to the tribe.

    Sure enough, even my father is like this!Don’t care about him so much!So unconcerned with his achievements!Only my aunt is different!Only his aunt treats him sincerely!

    He knew that his choice was right, and only his aunt would support him!

    Hushan’s face was pale, his palms tightly squeezed the fence of the observation deck, and his tone was cold in an instant: “When will aunt arrive?”

    The guard trembled, and he was speechless. Before he could find an excuse, he heard the team below shouting in unison:

    “The win-win queen has arrived.”

    Hushan almost flew down the observation deck, and the guards quickly gave way when they saw this.

    Lu Qinian’s eyes fell on the red-haired woman, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, while the bamboo guard’s eyes were filled with fear as if he had seen a ghost.

    The woman had long straight red hair that was dazzling. The long hair ran down her entire back and finally fell to her feet. Her hair was only a few centimeters away from the ground and would be stained with sand. She wore a gorgeous ceremonial robe made of black silk and gold thread, and a black and gold shawl fell off her shoulders. As she took a step, the maid behind her hurriedly pulled up the shawl.

    Hushan looked a little aggrieved when he faced the woman in front of him: “Auntie.”

    Although the woman was praying for good harvests with her back to Lu Lu, she didn’t look like a member of the Hu clan, but Hu Shan called Lu Fang aunt.

    Lu Qinian was silent: “Who is she?”

    The bamboo guard looked solemnly: “It’s the former queen.”

    Former queen?

    Lu Qinian looked stunned.

    Couldn’t it be…the former queen of mermaid?Alessi’s stepmother!

    The bamboo guard saw the elf’s expression and nodded: “That’s her. She was sitting on the main seat during the enthronement ceremony and saw His Majesty cutting off Yuri’s head with her own eyes. She screamed angrily that she would cut off His Majesty’s head with her own hands to avenge her dead child.”

    Lu Qinian knew this. In the original plot, on the day of the coronation ceremony of Alesh’s younger brother, Alesh cut off his head, picked up the crown with his hands stained with the blood of “father” and “brother”, and put it on his head.

    It’s just that… the “former queen” in the plot has been missing.

    It turned out that she was hiding in the Hu clan on land, but for some unknown reason, she became Hu Shan’s aunt.

    [Mission progress 86%, learn where Queen Eufina is hiding.】

    Eufina had been hiding on land for nearly a year, and she couldn’t help but miss the past when she stepped on the beach again. But whenever she thought of her child lying in a pool of blood, her heart felt as if it was being torn apart.

    “Xiaoshan, we have finally reached this point.”

    “Auntie.” Hushan looked at her infatuatedly.

    Eufina walked toward the sea with thin, seemingly elegant steps.

    The waves hit the shore one after another, and the water instantly submerged Yufina’s legs.

    The cold, moist, and familiar sea water made Yufina squint her eyes comfortably.

    She is a mermaid and she loves the ocean.But a damn!Disgusted!The animal-like mermaid is in charge of the ocean she loves!

    Eufina murmured Yuri’s name a few times, turned around and tilted her head, smiling secretly: “This sea is already dirty. I want this sea, that damn mermaid, and the entire mermaid clan! Bury with Yuripe!”

    Hushan looked at the mermaid in front of him with fascination: “Auntie is right, let the whole sea be buried with brother Yuli!”

    Lu Qinian hesitated for a moment. The scene in front of him made him feel uncomfortable no matter what, as if he was… sick.

    Youfina smiled softly at him: “Xiaoshan, Auntie knows you are a good boy.” She took a few steps forward and touched Hushan’s face with her slightly old palms.

    “You will definitely help aunt, right?”

    “Yes, yes.” Hushan responded foolishly.

    Eufina smiled: “Then are you willing to let your aunt take over the command position?”

    Hushan nodded: “Of course I am willing, aunt is doing it for my own good…”

    Before he finished speaking, Xiong Tian’s face suddenly became angry and he scolded the two of them: “Hushan! Our three major clans are all in charge of this matter, and you actually handed it over to this mermaid?!”

    Shilong’s face didn’t look good either, but he didn’t say anything.

    Hu Shan’s face darkened: “Although the three major clans are responsible, all preparations and battles are made by my Hu clan, not to mention the most important poison. If I don’t have aunt, how many of you will do it?”

    “You!” Xiong Tian clenched his fists.

    “Okay.” Shilong shook his head. News came from him and Xiong Tian’s tribe that if this matter fails, one person must bear all the responsibilities. Hushan’s willingness to take over is an opportunity.

    Xiong Tian also understood this truth and stopped speaking after hearing this.

    “Ha.” Hushan sneered, turned around and said, “It all depends on my aunt.”

    Eufina smiled and patted his head, then turned around and said coldly: “Attack! I will pull out the scales of the black-tailed mermaid and make a burial object for Yuli!”

    Knowing that the other party is going to pull out Alessi’s scales

    Lu Qinian was very angry: “What a beautiful idea!”
