Chapter 269: Chapter 187: Slaughter Spreads (Double Release)

Rogel put back the Sound Transmission Conch in his hand, frowning slightly.

If Mira’s curse could be lifted, that would naturally be a great thing.

But, this curse is intricately linked to Doyle Devis. Could it just quietly disappear on its own?

Absolutely impossible.

Rogel keenly sensed something amiss within.

The sudden change in Mira’s body is likely not as simple as it appears.

"Why would such a change suddenly occur?"

"Could it be..."

Rogel murmured to himself, his eyes filled with seriousness.

...

Bang!

An orca crashed into the hull with a thud, leaving a trail of blood.

With a bang of a gunshot, a burst of crimson spread in the sea, and some of the orca corpses slowly floated up.

Uncle Jack put away his gun, took a deep breath of his cigar, and frowned.

"What on earth possessed these creatures? They actually started attacking the ship voluntarily?"

"Truly unusual!"

Aitar glanced at the corpses on the surface, then silently withdrew his gaze, looking forward with a cold gleam in his eyes.

"No, there are many of them."

Upon hearing Aitar’s words, Uncle Jack was somewhat taken aback, but when he followed Aitar’s gaze, he was instantly shocked.

Splash!

The ship was burning, the mast was broken, and countless bodies floated on the sea, dyeing an entire area scarlet.

Some who were still struggling kept floundering, but were quickly submerged by piles of marine creatures, turning into chunks of corpses.

Among these chunks were not only humans but also many marine creatures.

A group of sea creatures covered in blood were feasting.

This was a merchant ship attacked and sunk!

Now, it had turned into a bloody feast.

"Damn... what the hell is happening?"

Uncle Jack was extremely shocked.

Aitar, however, remained calm, turning to the pirates behind him: "Turn the rudder."

Upon hearing his command, the few pirates who had been waiting breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly began maneuvering the ship to change direction.

...

Ozuric Island.

With more and more people and ships arriving at Ozuric Island, the influx of a large population quickly triggered many issues.

Such as security, resource shortages, soaring prices, interpersonal conflicts... and so on.

Now in the outer city of Ozulik, fights, robberies, and even more severe cases of murder in broad daylight were frequently seen.

But at this time, the Royal Family needed manpower and resources to handle even more important matters.

Moreover, when it rains, it pours; bad things often happen one after another.

As winter approached, temperatures began to drop, and a lake near the Divine Descendant Peak had even started to freeze.

Winter, often a season lacking supplies, coincidentally compounded many current issues.

Thus, the situation worsened.

Boom!

The cannon exploded, the gigantic sound causing the surrounding crowd to scream and flee.

"Charge! Rob these damn nobles, what makes them think they can eat so well!"

The sound of fighting rang out, as a group of masked bandits shouted and charged into a luxurious mansion, beginning to plunder with reckless abandon.

Crying and wailing filled the air, with constant pleas for help coming from inside.

This happened in the city, in broad daylight.

Even more terrifying, this was not an isolated case.

Rebellions broke out in some areas, and the Royal Family’s army arrived late, which encouraged some with ulterior motives.

Unrest, riots, began to spread...

...

Outside the Royal City.

The massive Royal Colossus was holding a giant iron shovel, continuously excavating soil and rocks.

They were a crucial part of the Underground City.

Without their excavation efforts, relying solely on the manpower and resources of Ozuric Island, it might be impossible.

Even so, the pits they dug needed humans to enter and perform further repairs.

"Roar!"

A Stone Demon burst from a hidden entrance, violently crashing into several workers, ruthlessly throwing them against the wall.

With a loud bang, blood splattered everywhere, and the workers’ bodies were shattered, dying a dreadful death.

Thud!

The Stone Demon was smashed into stone powder by a giant palm before it could cause further chaos.

It was the Royal Colossus.

This terrifying encounter left the workers greatly shocked.

Seeing the miserable state of their colleagues, they felt a chill in their hearts.

"These damned Stone Demons are crazier than before, they’re like rabid dogs!"

"Damn it, why are we digging these pits on the island? Are we expected to live here forever?"

"They say it’s to prepare for a great crisis, I bet it’s just for the Royal and the nobles, we commoners can’t escape calamity!"

"Ha! Maybe there is no damned great wave, this might be a massive scam!"

The workers engaged in heated discussions, unconsciously shifting the topic to their current predicament, expressing doubts about the pits’ existence and purpose.

"What are you all chattering about!"

"If you don’t want to work, then leave, plenty of people want this job!"

The overseer beside them yelled sharply, not cursing them but making the workers quickly shut up, speaking no more.

They certainly didn’t want to lose their jobs.

As winter approached, with extreme weather, resources scarce, if commoners lost their jobs and sources of income, they would likely perish in hunger and cold.

Thus, they could only suppress their doubts quietly.
