Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

An atmosphere of fear began to spread throughout the city. Ordinary citizens of Argoll couldn't understand why so many Hais appeared before them so soon after their army left Stranlar.

Not only could ordinary Argorians not understand it, but the Deep Sea Cultists in the city also couldn't understand it.

"Why have all the sea creatures escaped from the aquaculture ponds? Who made this decision on their own? It's not time to transform our foolish former brethren!"

"I don't know, all the church members responsible for guarding the breeding ponds have suddenly disappeared."

"Who exactly is it?"

"..."

The Deep Sea Cultists, lurking in the shadows, did not believe that the Argorians had released these sea creatures. If they had, it would have been tantamount to disregarding the safety of a large number of Argorian citizens.

Although ordinary Haisi will not launch an attack on the Argorians unless they receive orders, when they have sufficient nutrients.

But no one can say for sure which one will be bold enough to take the initiative to attack Hai Si. Once Hai Si identifies them as enemies, it will truly be a fight to the death.

However, none of the Deep Sea Cultists expected that the Sea Si who appeared on the street would not only not attack the Argollers, but would also not kill them when they attacked. Instead, they forcibly disarmed the attackers.

Faced with these Sea Hells that suddenly appeared on the streets, the defense forces inside Stranlar were overwhelmed by the assembled Sea Hells before they could even react.

Large numbers of Argor soldiers were captured by Haisi, and with the interior occupied, tens of millions of Argor citizens instantly became Haisi prisoners.

Even the Argonauts who managed to escape to the city's outskirts felt utterly hopeless in the face of their current situation.

"Why...did it turn out like this?"

In the mansion of Gladys, Laurentina, who was resting, suddenly opened her eyes. The feeling of her lower abdomen dropping intermittently made her realize that her child with Gard was probably about to be born.

However, what was happening outside made her feel uneasy.

It's so quiet!

Whether it was the rustling of leaves in the wind, the noise of the city streets, or the rushing water in the waterways, it seemed that all sounds disappeared at this moment.

Until a figure appeared in front of her.

"Gald!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Lauren Tina's furrowed brows finally relaxed.

What happened outside?

"A reckoning."

He held Laurentina's hand tightly to reassure her; Gard had no intention of hiding anything from her.

"I'm going to take action against the Deep Sea Cultists in this city."

Are you confident?

"If nothing unexpected happens."

As Gard and Laurentina were talking, Isamaya appeared at the doorway. Laurentina couldn't help but frown the moment she saw Isamaya.

For some reason, she felt that Skadi seemed to have changed compared to before, especially when she appeared, she was holding a cup in her hand, as if she was moistening her throat.

"Tina, do you think that Agor's enemies are only the Sea Cult and the Deep Sea Cultists?"

Laurentina shook her head, not understanding why Gard would suddenly say that.

“I don’t care. I used to be just a deep-sea hunter. My responsibility was to kill Hai Si. Everything else was none of my business.”

"Once?"

Seeing Gard's puzzled expression, Laurentina couldn't help but give him a reproachful look.

"My crocodile, you don't think I can go back to Argoll and continue being a deep-sea hunter after becoming like this, do you?"

Even if her Deepsea Hunter teammates were willing to accept her return, she didn't want to live that kind of life where she could only see Gard once every few months anymore.

Laurentina had actually thought that after she stopped being a deep-sea hunter, she would become a sculptor again and design all kinds of sculptures.

However, she didn't know if the sculptures she made could be sold on land.

Laurentina knew that the land was not as wealthy as their Agor. Unlike their Agor, who wouldn't starve even if they didn't work, they needed at least a decent job to survive.

Fortunately, Gard didn't know what Laurentina was thinking, otherwise he would have been both amused and exasperated. No matter how down on his luck he was, he shouldn't have fallen so low that his wife had to sell sculptures to make money.

But then again, with so many wives, does he really need to work so hard?

From the Grand Chief of Akahura to the Deputy Director of the Rhine Life Defense Department, and then to the Kasimil Knights Championship, Gard felt that even if he didn't work and lived off others, he could still live a life that most people could only envy.

"It will be over soon."

In fact, the riots outside the Sea Kings were instigated by the Gald in alliance with the Isamaya.

After Isamaya expressed her feelings, Gard decided to trust her and reconnect her with the will of the Sea Clan, directly commanding the Sea Clan members hidden inside the city who had been secretly brought in by the Deep Sea Cultists.

For Haisi, when two primordial beings exist at the same time, as long as the commands of one primordial being and the commands of the other primordial being do not conflict, they will obey the commands of the primordial being.

Because they believe that the command of birth will enable them to survive better.

That is indeed the case.

Even if Isamaya chooses Gald and wants to have a baby with Gald, she cannot go against the survival will of the entire Sea Clan for Gald's sake.

But Gard persuaded her.

The child of Gard and Laurentina, acting as a link between the land dwellers, Argo, and Haze, proves the possibility of coexistence among the three.

So Isamaya chose to help Gard.

When all the sea creatures brought into the city by the Deep Sea Church chose to rebel, the Deep Sea Church's greatest trump card became a venomous snake that could kill them at any moment.

Kal'tsit had previously stated that their current manpower was insufficient to deal with all the Deepsea cultists in Stranlar simultaneously.

Now they have it.

No one knows better than Haisi who their "compatriots" are.

Isamaya's order to these Sea Heirs was to keep an eye on their scaleless brethren. Faced with the backlash from the Sea Heirs, many Deep Sea Cultists didn't even put up a decent fight before being captured by them.

Or rather, now the entire Stranlar, tens of millions of people, have all become prisoners of the Sea Cult, something the previous Deepsea Cultists wanted to do but couldn't.

Even they couldn't make a group of Deepsea Cultists obediently follow their orders; at least in the eyes of the Deepsea Cultists, all Deepsea Cultists were the same.

They obey commands that contribute to their survival.

They refused commands that did not help their survival.

This is Haisi.

Only Isamaya, as the firstborn of the Sealings, possesses the ability to command all the Sealings.

Only with her help could the Sealings launch this attack, which caught both the Argollers and the Deep Sea Cultists completely off guard.

In just one hour, the power within the core city of Argoll.

Everything has fallen!

Most of the Deepsea Cult members and the Argoll high-ranking members who were connected with the Deepsea Church were in a state of confusion. Many Argoll high-ranking members hid immediately after the Sea Si launched the attack. They could not entrust their safety to a group of Deepsea Cult members whom Argoll regarded as terrorists.

Only after confirming their safety did they begin to use their own channels to hold the high-ranking members of the Deep Sea Church accountable. Their cooperation with the Deep Sea Church was not an act of complete submission to its tyranny!

However, by now, events have long since deviated from the path of those who control the tigers and manipulate the sea creatures for profit. Without the sea creatures' help, the deep-sea cultists who once profited from the sea creatures have seen their available power greatly diminished.

Their only hope lay with the garrison fleet lingering around the city of Argor. A fleet of a dozen or so Argor main warships and 100,000 elite Argor soldiers would be enough to retake the city captured by the Sea Si.

After all, although the number of Sea Sith that invaded Stranlar was considerable, they certainly couldn't fight against the fleet outside the city. Even if the Argoll soldiers in the fleet chose to land with heavy weapons, there was a possibility that they could retake the city.

Even though it has been corrupted by the Deep Sea Church, Argoll's army is still the most powerful army in the world. Each of its capital ships, forming a fleet, is enough to pose a threat to enemies of the behemoth class.

Even Gard wouldn't want to face more than a dozen of Argoor's main battleships directly.

Therefore, Gard chose to have the Deep Sea Cult, in the guise of the King of the Shapeshifters, force the outer fleets to leave the city's territorial waters, thus buying them time to capture the high-ranking members of the Deep Sea Cult, at the cost of the safety of all the citizens of Argoll in Stranlar.

Gard's idea was simple: as long as he captured the high-ranking members of the Deep Sea Church, the Deep Sea Church, without its leader, would be nothing but a disorganized mess.

As for those high-ranking members of the Argoll Church who colluded with the Deep Sea Church, what should be done with them?

Of course, the blame should be shifted to the Deep Sea Church.

After all, isn't the only one capable of summoning the Sea Heir the Deep Sea Church?

However, the thing that Gard had been worried about finally happened.

After leaving Stranlar, the Deepsea Hunter team led by Greta and others finally reunited with the Deepsea Hunter Team 3 in another city.

When she saw Ulpian, Gretia originally wanted to tell him that his team members had also been abducted by that landman named Gard, and she wanted Ulpian to understand how she felt.

In the blink of an eye, she saw a Deepsea Hunter who looked exactly like Skadi, standing in Ulpian's party, head down, lost in thought.

Greta: ? ? ?

Then, Gretia learned something from Ulpian.

That was Skadi, a member of the Deepsea Hunters Team 3. She had never left the team from the beginning, nor had she gone to Stranlar to inform them.

Greta suddenly had a bad feeling.

You are Skadi, the deep-sea hunter of Stranlar.

who is it?

......

Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Real Villain

Greta realized that she might have missed some important clues.

If the Deepsea Hunter in Ulpian's team is Skadi, then who is the Skadi currently in Stranlar?

If the Skadi in Stranlar is fake, then what is her relationship with the Deep Sea Church and Hai Si? Why would she reveal information about the Deep Sea Church? Is it to gain their trust, or does she have other motives?

Did Gard know about this?

In principle, Greta trusts Gard.

After all, Gard's identity cannot be faked. He came to Argoll for Laurentina, and he also chose to cooperate with them for Laurentina.

However, the attitude of the other "Skadi" towards Gard made Greta seriously consider whether this was the original Skadi's attitude towards Gard.

“Ulbian, I may have to ask your team members some questions.”

"Skadi!"

Ulpian nodded slightly, not only because of the blood ties between the deep-sea hunters, but also because they were colleagues of many years, fighting side by side. He had no doubts about Gretia.

"?"

Upon hearing her captain's voice, Skadi looked up. She carried a black greatsword on her back, but held a huge axe in her hand.

Greta remembered this weapon.

How did his weapon end up in Skadi's hands?

Greta frowned slightly, her doubts fading somewhat.

But she still looked at Skadi and asked seriously, "Whale of Team Three, I'm asking you, what's your relationship with Gard like?"

Gard?

Skadi looked up at Gladys, who was half a head taller than her, tilted her head and thought for a moment, not understanding what Gladys was saying.

Wasn't Gard dead?

Skadi's thoughts were not complicated; she had witnessed Gard enter the belly of a large lizard, and in her opinion, Gard deserved to die.

However, why did the captain of the second team ask her what her relationship with Gard was? What kind of relationship should she have with Gard?

Skadi expressed her confusion.

Skadi isn't exactly a quiet person; on the contrary, she's quite talkative. She just has a stoic expression, but she can still communicate normally with people she knows.

Moreover, compared to deep-thinking people like Gladys and Kal'tsit, she is actually quite easy to understand. A blank expression doesn't mean no expression at all. At least Skadi's expression changes are much easier to understand than those of Gladys and Kal'tsit.

So when Skadi looked puzzled, Greta wondered if her question had been ambiguous.

"Whale of the Third Team, I'm asking you, in your opinion, what kind of person is that landman named Gard?"

What kind of person?

Skadi didn't hesitate this time; she blurted out almost without thinking, "He's a good person."

nice guy?

Greta felt a bit of a headache. What kind of people were under Ulpian's command? She just wanted to know if Skadi and Gard had a closer relationship so that she could speculate whether Gard knew the "Skadi" from Stranlar.
