Evie escaped the unknown fate of her family, but also fell into deep self-blame.

  The sudden appearance of helplessness and confusion in her life made the little girl who had never experienced setbacks before feel lost and unable to choose. She could only keep scolding Liu Zhen, unable to find any outlet to vent her emotions.

  It's all because of this ugly Bimon that she has tainted herself, causing her to degenerate to the point where she is neither human nor fish; what's even more unfortunate is that this detestable Pichmon and she are still "Double Xros Heart" partners - every time Aki thinks about it, she feels as if she had swallowed a sea slug.

  He scolded even more severely then.

  Liu Zhen was fed up with the princess's incessant chatter on the desolate wilderness. He regretted that Jingyu had given the Dust-Avoiding Pearl to this little girl as a pendant, which she wore around her neck.

  How great it would be if she wouldn't speak!

  She scolded people with just a few repetitive sentences, without any new ideas at all, which made Liu even more shocked and depressed.

  The boundary of the Danube wilderness far exceeded Liu's imagination. Along the way, half-human-high wormwood blocked more than half of his line of sight. After walking for a whole day, he didn't encounter any village bigger than M?nch.

  Helen said this was because Bimon's population was really too small, and among all ethnic groups, except for the Pygmy tribe, fertility was not satisfactory.

  Three hundred boys and girls, however, were beyond Liu's expectations. They did not cry out in distress, but instead followed the vanguard of Pantaw warriors in an orderly manner.

  Evie had just learned to walk, hadn't gone a few miles, and her feet were already blistered. Liu Zhen was scolded by her while carrying her on his back, Helen's small mouth pouted into a crescent moon shape.

  "Ah..." Helen let out a soft cry and sat down on a heap of grass, her foot seemingly sprained as well.

  Guo Guo immediately jumped down from Liu Zhen's head, and his small chest thumped with a "ding ding" sound.

  "What are you doing?" Evie glared at him, wrapping her arms around Liu Zhen's neck, with a hostile expression looking at the little fox.

  "Richard..." Helen twisted her waist, a painful expression on her face.

  "Come on, I'll carry you!" Liu Zhenhong loosened the mermaid princess from his back and stretched out his hand to Hailun.

  Helen ran over like the wind and jumped into Liu's arms, with a face full of joy.

  Jing Yu shook her head and sighed beside him.

  "How much farther is it to your hometown of Weisherpeng?" Liu Zhen's arms were warm and fragrant, his back was warm and fragrant, he couldn't help but wish the road would be longer.

  "Just follow Temur's lead and the snowy mountains will be our guide." The little fox wrapped itself around Liu Zhen's neck, swinging its small feet like a swing, its fiery tail wagging happily.

  "With so many of us suddenly appearing, won't it cause some misunderstanding?" Liu Zhen asked casually.

  "We'll first go to the village of Bock outside Wysteria City, where my uncle's fief is located. There's a small mine there and he's the lord of that place. We'll settle down there first, then apply to the temple in Wysteria City for you to obtain the qualification for altar sacrifice and receive your own fief." Helen's eyes dimmed: "I only have my uncle left as a relative now."

  Liu Zhenhong also fell silent.

  Evie didn't know the inside story and casually asked, "What about your family?"

  Helen's eyes turned red, and she sobbed: "Last time those despicable desert humans, from the Principality of Dorotte, sneaked into our Foxes' northeastern province on ships that had trade agreements with your Sea Tribe. They were all armed to the teeth, killed all the men in my family, and took all the girls onto their ships."

  Avery also fell silent, she could feel that kind of being robbed feeling, now she deeply felt it.

  "It's still your sea tribe's bird rules that are to blame!" Liu Zhen also felt angry: "What kind of Sea Ban, in the end it was the harm of the Bei Meng Kingdom. The beastmen here thought that the sea tribe would protect the coastline, so they didn't set up defenses. In the end, your sea tribe actually signed a protocol with humans, allowing trade ships to pass through, and let people take advantage of the loophole!"

  "What does this have to do with the Sea Tribe?" Eiravel was also quick-witted: "The Sea Tribe is not just a gatekeeper for Bimon, we don't allow human armies to appear in our skies, is that wrong? If you want to blame someone, blame Bimon's own army for being weak!"

  "We have our regular army stationed all along the border, and it's already a struggle to defend against humans. What remaining forces do we have in the rear to prevent those despicable human traffickers?" Helen retorted fearlessly.

  "You're useless yourselves!"

  "Are you guys from Hainan?"

  "It goes without saying."

  "How come you were caught by Richard if your family is so powerful?"

  .......................

  The quarrel is increasingly likely to escalate.

  "Stop arguing." Jingyu spoke up. The faint words conveyed a sense of majesty that made the two little maids shut their mouths obediently, and for some reason, as soon as Jingyu opened her mouth, including Liu Zhen, they all became a bit tongue-tied.

  "Helen, for instance, if you were a hereditary baron, what would be the basic military strength of your domain?" Liu Zhen was also a bit puzzled, and he had his own doubts. How could a village in a domain be so easily breached by human traffickers? Not only did they clean up thoroughly, but they also took away all the females, which was too eerie.

  Operating behind enemy lines, infiltrating and sabotaging is not a simple task. Liu Zhen had done this before, and just recently did it again, it's not easy to do. If it weren't for his "Double Xiu Boundary" being able to conjure up Ayr's image, he might not have succeeded.

  "Our Fox tribe's physical strength is not as robust as the Mongols, we are the embodiment of wisdom. Therefore, our Foxes cannot take up the ancestral war knives like other nobles and go to battle. We rely heavily on our vassal tribes, the Pig-faced people and the Olphen giant elephant warriors. The combat power of the giant elephant warriors is self-evident, even young elephant warriors are a nightmare for enemies on the battlefield. Unfortunately, the population of the elephant tribe is even scarcer than ours, and the elephant warriors are extremely picky about food. They love to eat bananas, which cannot be grown in the humid land of the Danube wilderness, so they can only be purchased through trade with the Pixie tribes in the Southern Cross Star Forest. Only families with a high social status among the Fox tribe can afford to raise powerful Olphen warriors." Helen's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.

  "How many Orphen warriors does your family have?" Liu Zhen was secretly calculating the family property that he could take over.

  "The rise and fall of the Fox family depends on the output of the altar sacrifice. Unfortunately, my family has only had me understand the wisdom of the war god in the past decade, becoming a sacrificer. Therefore, my family does not have the ability to support powerful Orphen warriors, and my fiefdom can only be officially granted by the king and the Council of Elders after I turn 18. So, in this disaster, our family can only rely on the Piggu warrior vassals, but most of their strong men have been recruited into the regular army, leaving behind the old, weak, and sick, making it impossible to defend against these human bandits with outstanding martial arts skills." Helen shook her head in dismay.

  "The key issue is that no one expected bandits to take such a huge risk and come from the sea. Your fiefdom is far away from the border, and even if the border troops were to rush back, they wouldn't make it in time. This is probably the biggest problem." Jingyu also sighed.

  "How miserable! Blood all over the ground, flashing swords and shadows, everywhere is my people's mournful cry. The human bandits finished doing all this, and even calmly cut off the beautiful fur on my people's bodies." Helen painfully buried her face in Liu Zhen's chest, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

  "It's not over yet!" Liu Zhen was taken aback and stopped in his tracks, a layer of frost on his face, his eyes twitching violently.

  "You'll pay for this! One day! Won't you, Richard?" Helen looked up at him with tear-filled eyes.

  "I'm not saying anything now, just wait and see later." Liu Zhen's nose hummed as he panted heavily, blowing his messy hair up high.

  "How did your uncle escape?" Jingyu asked.

  "He was the warden of Bok Prison, and he didn't usually work in the village." Helen's face showed a hint of comfort. "My uncle is also an altar priest, just the lowest level wind language priest, he has always been my pride."

  "Does Baimon have prisons too?" Aevil asked curiously. She had imagined that the people of Baimon were all uncivilized savages, the kind who would kill someone without anyone batting an eye.

  "We have a perfect system of law, but it's nothing like yours, Sea People!" Helen shot back at her.

  "Ay... " Avril bit her lip and saw Ningyu glare at her, then swallowed the words back.

  "What if I don't get the title of Sacrifice to the Holy Altar?" Liu Zhensheng suddenly said. He now has a family to support, with 500 children depending on him for food and clothing, and he doesn't have a single penny on him; he suddenly felt a little scared.

  "No way!" Jing Yu said: "Our dry rations are only enough for three days, if you can't get the title of Holy Altar Sacrifice, there is only one way - isn't there an arena in Meng Wang Kingdom? You can go be a gladiator and fight to earn money to support us, or... starve us to death."

  "Nonsense!" Liu Zhen said.

  "There's another way," Helen said, biting her lip.

  "What's going on?" Liu Zhen asked.

  "Sell Princess Evielle as a slave, a beautiful mermaid princess would be worth quite a bit of money." The little fox said with a sly smile.

  "Good idea." Liu Zhenhong nodded.

  Evie almost fainted again.
