Chapter 302 Sharp Ears and Eyes, Yet Still Has a Rude Mouth
"Are you saying that Qingyin's return to the Aurora Empire this time is related to the divine light in the Holy Mountain?"
As Keslan rode on Arthur's back, gazing at the vast ocean, he couldn't help but recall Jiang Yu's tightly furrowed brows from earlier, and wondered if he had talked too much.
Given Fan Qingyin's intelligence, it's impossible that he wouldn't have doubts about this trip. Yet he still decided to go, which must mean he had already made meticulous plans and schemes. In addition, there's the monster in the sea, the divine light residing on the holy mountain, and the demigod who dominates the ocean. If a real fight breaks out, it's uncertain whether it will result in a fight to the death.
Both of them were keeping it from Jiang Yu, probably not wanting her to worry. Unfortunately, they were completely defeated by Jiang Yu's gentle charm and blurted out a few words without any restraint.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He immediately blew the whistle for an emergency assembly and hovered on the sea, waiting quietly.
Unlike his previous lukewarm and pretentious behavior of grabbing his subordinates everywhere, this whistle represents an inviolable command. This whistle can travel a long distance, and as long as the same whistle is worn, it can be sensed within four or five nearby territories.
Soon, a dark mass of people and beasts gathered on this sea.
The sea beast group, led by Gray Isle and Gray Path, was more than half complete, with many royal griffin riders hovering in the sky, interspersed with a few dragon eagle riders. Moreover, more riders were arriving and joining the group, all of them top-notch warriors with formidable strength.
The fact that they could gather such a large and powerful force in such a short time is enough to completely crush any elite force of the three great empires. No wonder all the royal families regard the "Owls" of Keslan as a thorn in their side.
"Yo, long time no see, Gray Isle Chief." Keslan looked at the taciturn, head bowed sea beast leader with a sarcastic expression: "How many meetings have you missed? Do you even remember who I am?"
"Shouldn't I thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do this for me?"
Cold sweat trickled down the forehead of the Gray Isle leader. He gritted his teeth and remained silent. The mackerel beneath him sank further, trying to use the seawater to completely conceal his body.
“I’ll be frank with everyone here.” Keslan looked around at his loyal subordinates and raised his voice. Although he was speaking to Gray Island alone, he meant it to everyone: “At the next leaders’ meeting I hold, the captain and vice-captain of each group must attend. If Gray Island and the others find another excuse to disappear, I will assume that your Sea Beast Group has directly withdrawn from the organization.”
"Leader!" Gray Island looked up hurriedly. His avoidance was just a way to stall for time. Ever since he heard that the leader wanted to disband "Owl", he had been trying to prevent it from happening.
He's not very bright and can't think of any good solutions, so he resorts to the dumbest method: escaping is just a way to buy time.
“You should all understand that I am a person of my word.” Keslan stared into Gray Island’s eyes, which were full of unwavering determination. He understood Gray Island and the others’ reluctance and resistance, but this was a decision he had made. “Owl” would not truly disappear; it would simply continue to exist in a different form.
Huiyu lowered his head dejectedly, giving up the fight.
Keslan was satisfied and asked, "Your Sea Beast Corps is all here. What, are you all staying around here?"
Hui Mo glanced at Hui Yu, whose mouth seemed to be just for show, and spoke first to explain: "Chief, it's like this, Chief Yu has instructed our brothers, except those who are on missions, to stay within the vicinity of Hollandpur. As long as you or Lord Jiang Yu need us, we can come immediately."
Keslan glanced at Gray Island, smiled, and pretended to scold Gray Mo, saying, "When adults are talking, what are you doing interrupting, kid?"
He then skipped over the topic and said seriously to everyone, "Not just the Sea Beast Corps, but all your corps need to suspend all missions from this moment on. Half of you should stay near Hollandpur to serve as a garrison at any time, and the other half should immediately head to the vicinity of the Holy Mountain of the Aurora Empire to closely monitor all movements of the Holy Mountain and the Holy See. If the Brahma Envoy or the Brahma family needs help, act immediately and provide assistance with everything you can."
Keslan pursed his lips, hoping that Jiang Yu could remain rational and not abandon her just because something might happen to Fan Qingyin.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yu bit her lip and knocked on Moya's door.
Moya is struggling with the affairs of the county. He spent a few days at sea a few days ago, and when he returned, Fan Qingyin had already left, resulting in a backlog of work.
"Are you busy?" As soon as Jiang Yu entered the room, she saw the extremely handsome purple-haired gentleman sitting at his desk with his brows furrowed. His exquisite features made it impossible to look away from his expression.
Upon hearing Jiang Yu's voice, Moya didn't even raise his head. Instead, he extended a crystal-clear tentacle and pulled her over from afar. He put down his pen, secured Jiang Yu to his lap, embraced her with both arms, buried his face in her neck, and breathed affectionately into her.
"That owl's stench again," Moya said impatiently. "Has he been coming too often lately? Didn't he say he was going to take care of his own business? As far as I know, there hasn't been any progress."
“Such a powerful force can’t just be disbanded like that,” Jiang Yu couldn’t help but speak up for Keslan. “Besides, his agreement with His Majesty Turner should have been to settle these matters before he and I became partners.”
Moya, feeling jealous, bit Jiang Yu's lip hard: "Don't speak up for him!"
"It hurts." Jiang Yu tugged at Moya's hair and cried out in pain.
"Hmph, you came to see me, it's not because he told you something, is it?" Moa let her grab him, and even offered up a few tentacles for her to manipulate.
Jiang Yu immediately started playing with these cute and delicate tentacles, but she didn't forget why she came to ask Moya: "Well, it's related to Qingyin. Keslan reminded me to be careful of things in the Holy Mountain."
"In this world today, only you can sense that divine light, so I wanted to ask if what Keslan said about it being dishonest is true, and whether Qingyin's return is related to this matter?"
"He's really bored." Moya muttered a complaint, his sharp ears and eyes were undeniable, but his sharp tongue was also undeniable.
He comforted Jiang Yu: "Don't worry, Jiang Jiang. When I was recuperating at the Fan family, that thing didn't dare to attack me. It means it's still wary of conflict with me. So I have the strength to fight it. Fan Qingyin came to see me before he left, so he wasn't completely unprepared."
"If we're talking about strategy and tactics, you should trust him."
