Chapter 202: High-end Armed Force

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Despite understanding the meaning of the saying “a small leak will sink a great ship”, the adjutant could only continue to calm him in the face of Rowling’s dissatisfaction. “General, in fact, this is nothing.” In the face of Rowling’s reluctance, the adjutant can only persuade him: “General, this is nothing. With the arrival of these civilians, in accordance with a decree the President signed, as a military force, we should’ve gradually dispersed out of this island as well. At the same time, the rules and prohibitions we’ve set have reached the time to change.”

“But we’ve paid such a high price before we could finally set up ‘rules’ and ‘order’ in this gathering place. However, because of the idiot living in the White House, everything has been destroyed… Ah, forget it! As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces of the United States, that person has the right to arrange everything. Open the door, Race. Dispatch the order that the gathering place has now entered the ‘red alarm’ stage and open the door to let those aborigines leave.”

“Yes, Sir General!”

Very soon, the order of the highest commanding officer was conveyed and under the nervous vigilance of all the garrison guards, the dark grey metal giant door of the gathering place opened. It opened only slightly, allowing those aborigines who were yelling crazily to rush out as if they were convicts escaping towards their freedom.

There was only a step of difference between civilization and barbarism. In the midst of the hissing and howling of the wild monsters and poisonous insects, the indigenous midgets stumbled as they ran to the wyrm dragon hovering midair in desperation, before kneeling on the mud and shouted, “Great Guardian of Tudenan, Son of the Sea Zhang…”

“Don’t overload yourselves with those tedious formalities.” Riding on the wizard gu, Zhang Lisheng commanded the wyrm dragon to land beside the Tudenan tribesmen. He then asked in blank expression, “Right now, I just want to know, how did you guys manage to identify me in the day time inside the foreign tribe just now?”

“Great Guardian, I’ve brought the Tudenan’s history book before.” The leader who was the tallest among the aborigines, who was also the Tudenan hunter whom Zhang Lisheng had seen before, took out a hidden thick tree bark book carefully from the animal hide behind him, before handing it with both of his hands to the ferocious-looking giant before him. “When I saw you, your appearance naturally floats in front of my eyes.”

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment. Then, he took the tree bark book and turned to the last page to look at his own portrait, before shutting his eyes. To his surprise, he found that his current image actually appeared in his mind right away.

He pondered over it for a moment and his body suddenly grew taller and bigger. At this point, he realized the young man in the book actually began to show signs of changes as well in accordance to his actual physical shape.

“W-What kind of logic is this…” Zhang Lisheng, who wanted to bring these few Tudenan survivors out of the human gathering place to kill them, suddenly felt his heart clenching. Right at that instant, he dismissed the idea of ​​killing them.

According to some law in the dark, this strange and magical tribal history book had identified him as the Tudenan’s Guardian, so if he killed the Tudenan tribesmen for no reason in a reckless manner, it would be hard for him to imagine what the consequences would be like.

To Zhang Lisheng who had always believed in the phrase “the unknown is the most horrifying fear of them all”, it was apparent that he felt that this risk was not worth taking.

After contemplating over it, the young man took the tribal history book in his hand before asking in a whisper, “What sort of catastrophe has happened to the Tudenan tribe? Didn’t the headman always enshrine this book of history? Why would he hand it over to you and let you just bring it with you everywhere?”

“The Luami Tribe that came from another island made a sneak attack on us, Great Guardian!” The aborigine leader kneeled on the ground and buried his head on the mud, howling while gritting his teeth in a very low and humble manner. “The headman fought to his death! After the tribal totem fell, the Luami tribesmen had thrown him in the Tudenan Blood Pool! I was ordered to flee at the very last minute with the tribal history book so that the Tudenan’s legacy could remain flourishing…”

“You mean, there are only a few of you left in Tudenan tribe?”

“There may be other survivors who managed to flee, but there should not be too many. Since we’re already defeated, most of the Tudenan tribesmen who are captured will naturally become a member of the Luami tribe. As for those who stubbornly resist, they must have been decapitated by now.” Upon sensing that the Guardian in front whom they were saluting right now did not seem to understand the Hellfire people’s ancient customs, the aborigine leader explained in detail.

“So what do you wish for me to do now?”

“I wish that you can snatch back our Tudenan totem pole and protect us, the few survivors of our tribe so we can set our totem in some other desolate island. Under the aspiration of the totem, the surviving Tudenan tribesmen will naturally come to meet with us.”

“Snatch back the Tudenan’s totem pole? That simple?” Zhang Lisheng pondered over it before asking again, “How many people do you think are watching over it?”

“The reason Luami attacked Tudenan is that they want to take away the land we’re living on. Now that the Tudenan Valley has become their habitat, the blood pool that contaminated the totem pole should be at the heart of the valley. You have help from your flying partner, so maybe you can secretly steal them…”

“Snatch your land? Isn’t Luami a big tribe that comes from another island for the purpose of conquering? Why would they even snatch the Tudenan Valley?”

“No, dear Great Guardian! The Luami tribe is also a defeated tribe. However, more than 10,000 of their tribesmen managed to escape and these 10,000 included 4000 elite warriors along with the protection they have from two Guardians who follow the tribe in exile.”

“4000 elite indigenous warriors and two Guardians…” Zhang Lisheng contemplated for a while before tapping on his wizard gu’s back. “Come up here! My flying partner’s scales are not slippery, so if you hold on to it tightly, you won’t fall down. We’ll fly to the Luami tribe to retrieve the Tudenan totem pole.”

“R-Ride on the back of this powerful legendary creature? C-Can we really, oh, Great Guardian?” When the aborigines heard Zhang Lisheng’s words, they looked at the wyrm dragon that had already crouched down on the ground with its long and huge body before saying in a baffled expression.

“Stop asking so much. My flying partner will not mind at all,” the young man snapped impatiently. “If you guys still don’t climb up, don’t regret it when I return to the sea when the day comes again.”

“Y-Yes, Guardian…” Under Zhang Lisheng’s urging, the Tudenan survivors hurriedly and anxiously climbed up on the back of the wizard gu. Their four short limbs clung onto the wyrm dragon’s scales ridiculously.

When the young man saw that the aborigines had already settled down, he commanded the wizard gu to rise to the air again. He descended to the clouds and soared upwards to the sky.

At the same time, a fat military scientist on the ground, who was looking at the red dot on the electronic screen that symbolized the wizard gu leaving farther and farther away, heaved a long sigh of relief.

After inputting the body data of the wyrm dragon and the transformed form of Zhang Lisheng that the radar scanner had completely recorded into the Shrimp B1 Island Biological Database, he took off his glasses and breathed at it before wiping it and cursing out loud, “This is basically an island where God imprisons the Devils! To think that there are actually so many outrageous animals in here!” Standing up from the office chair, he yawned and walked along the ramp back to his room.

After continuing his sweet dream for a while, this scientist that had quite a good connection with was suddenly awakened by the ringing of his phone.

“What the hell? What’s going on today?” He mumbled and picked up the call with half-closed eyes.

“Professor Camillo, I’m sorry for disturbing you so late again. A09 Hummingbird has just crashed at 61 degrees west 197km from the gathering place. Before it crashed, it managed to transmit some valuable pictures and General Luo Li hopes you can look at them immediately and provide your opinions.”

“Adjutant Race.” Camillo looked at the clock by the bedside and sighed before saying helplessly, “It’s 3.40am in the morning now and I…”

“I’m very sorry, Doctor! However, the General thinks that this information is very important. He hopes to draw a conclusion as soon as possible! For this reason, we have no choice but to bother you once again…”

“Urgh! General Rowling also thinks that the diet of the aborigines eating the big green beetle last time was important too and that it could change the diet structure of people all over the world! If it’s not for the fact that he’s the one who controls my experimental budget… Alright, alright! Send the data to my tablet! I’ll take a look at it right away!” Camillo replied while taking his glasses from the bedside table. Then, he began to search around the bed and held the tablet in his hand.

Not long after he turned it on, a shared video file was received right away. He casually opened it and saw a snake figure with horns on its head and four sharp claws below its body. The said claws that were so unimaginably huge was fighting with two silhouettes that looked like giant tree elves in the dimly dense forest the infrared background lit.

When the snake figure moved, it set off countless amounts of smog as the monster-like snake figure continued to attack the giant tree elves.

The two giant tree elves seemed much smaller than the big snake. However, the trees around them appeared to be like their servants. When they touched the trees, the branches would grow to entangle the shadowy figure of a snake. However, even with the geographical advantage, the snake-shadow did not seem to fall in a disadvantageous position at all.

“W-What the f*ck is this?!” Camillo’s sleepiness vanished without a trace right away as he stared at the tablet’s screen with wide eyes. Then, all of a sudden, he could see a giant head that looked like a lizard head appear in the air out of nowhere, slamming the several dozens of trees away, before swallowing one of the giant tree elves… This was also where the video came to an end.

After he finished watching the video, Camillo froze for a moment before replaying the video Race sent to him. After that, in a dumbfounded manner, he called him back, “Adjutant race! Are you certain the video you sent to me is not a re-edited clip of ‘Lord of the Rings’?”

“I hope that it is, too, but unfortunately it’s not, Dr. Camillo.” Race replied with a wry smile.

“If it’s not, then it means that Shrimp World No. 2 should have a high-end armed force that is in no way inferior to Shrimp World No. 1! In other words, if we want to truly make our stand in this world, the government must invest at least the same amount of armed forces it spends on the Shrimp World No. 1! That is to say, the fact that we could build this gathering place by just using five warships is as lucky as winning the great prize of the Powerball lottery! We’re now sitting on a gunpowder barrel and may just rise to Heaven at any time!”
