Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Rather, it's because if it doesn't break the rules and cooperate, it simply can't compete with its two brothers.

It has far too few troops under its command!

Its black, gem-like eyes darted around, its mind racing as it frantically tried to figure out how to continue persuading the figure before it.

Suddenly, a mermaid hurriedly climbed ashore from the sea, wriggling her body as she approached the figure in the black robe and trembled as she prostrated herself before him.

"Sir...I have bad news..."

Chapter 226 The First Battle of Rowamp - The End

"bad news?"

The demon, who looked remarkably like a human, smiled as he knelt down beside the mermaid at his feet, gently took her arm, and helped her up.

"I told you before, Papua, there's no such thing as completely bad news. We need to learn to look at things from both sides."

"Tell me, what news has made you tremble like this?"

The dead fish eyes on the mermaid's face flickered, unable to meet the figure's gaze directly.

"Our entire force has been wiped out..."

"..."

It was quite obvious that the demon's fingers gripping the mermaid's arm tightened slightly, but he still smiled and spoke:

"It's alright, their sacrifice was worthwhile. There are many geniuses that humans value on this ferry, and the nightingale next to me suspects that there are people from the city that just defeated it on board."

"As long as we can inflict serious casualties on the other side, this sacrifice is nothing."

"Not defeated!"

Nightingale's gaze was displeased, and she spoke in a low voice.

But the demon ignored it and continued to look at the mermaid in front of it.

He could feel the mermaid's body trembling more noticeably in his hands.

"There are no...no serious casualties on the other side..."

The mermaid spoke, her voice trembling.

"It's ok."

The figure in the black robe showed no displeasure, still smiling, not wanting to make a fool of himself in front of Nightingale.

"As long as we can inflict some casualties on the other side, it's a gain. At least we know that humanity's vigilance and strength are improving, so we can do better next time."

"..."

"..."

But the mermaid in his hand trembled and didn't speak again, causing the smile on his face to freeze completely.

Nightingale, noticing the unusual behavior, raised the corners of her mouth and a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"Tsk...tsk...tsk..."

"It seems things aren't going as smoothly as you thought. No way, no way, you sent out four Tier 5 units and didn't even manage to take down a single enemy?"

"Tsk...tsk...tsk..."

"Who was just bragging to me that they were going to show me their real strength? Didn't they say they could easily wipe out a human from some remote corner like Kanriel?"

"Hahaha————"

The nightingale flapped its wings incessantly, beating the feathers on its belly, making no attempt to hide its mockery of the silhouette.

"..."

Finally, the human-like figure could no longer bear it. With a flick of its hand, a dark shadow spread out and swept towards the nightingale.

Caught off guard, the nightingale hopped away, and a feather was instantly caught and swallowed by the shadows.

"Damn it!! You want to fight?!"

The nightingale's black eyes were filled with fury.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional, it went off accidentally."

The human-like figure smiled slightly, then released the mermaid from its grasp and stood up:

"It's just a small setback. Just watch, [&*&*&], and see how I plunge them into despair."

After saying that, he left, walking step by step towards the sea, gradually disappearing beneath the surface. His black robe churned in the water, and he vanished in an instant.

Nightingale looked at the mermaid left behind by that figure, who hadn't moved since being released.

It leaped up from the ground and landed on the mermaid's shoulder, where it saw the gray mark on the mermaid's arm—the spot where the figure had just grabbed it.

It grinned, a hint of mockery flashing in its black, gem-like eyes, and muttered under its breath:

"I know, I understand you, how could I not understand you? We're brothers, we're so alike..."

After saying that, it flapped its wings and flew away.

Only the poor mermaid remained, the gray marks on her arms shimmering. Finally, she could no longer hold back her cries of agony, and her two arms gradually turned to ashes and vanished.

……

……

Clusters of cirrus clouds piled up into mountain shapes, gradually turning golden in the setting sun.

Below the clouds lay a sea dyed a dark green.

Originally, this sea was a deep, inky black, but now it was completely stained with the blood of the demons. The gray-green blood churned on the surface of the sea with the waves, and the demons' severed limbs rose and fell continuously.

The people on deck stared in silence at the figure sitting on the back of a fifth-tier water lizard, gazing at the distant fleet of ships.

They're too strong. From the moment Luo Xiu appeared, this battle turned into a complete massacre.

The two swamp lizards that had given Novamp and Basil some trouble were slaughtered by Luo Xiu as easily as killing chickens and dogs, without the slightest hesitation.

At this moment, Luo Xiuzheng was looking at the system panel.

Name: Luo Xiu

【Strength: 4161/6000】

[Agility: 3100/6000]

【Physique: 3700/6000】

[Magic power: 3000/6000]

[Highest points: 6]

【LV.0 Supreme Body (1/10)】

I gained a total of 5180 points in this battle. I spent 200 points upgrading [Enslavement] before, and added another 1000 points to magic power this time, so I have 4960 points left.

With so many points, it means that if he wanted, he could immediately boost his strength and physique to the sixth tier.

Just as he was pondering how to allocate skill points, a voice came from above.

"Master!!! It's all cleaned up!!!"

Leila jumped excitedly from the bow of the ship and ran to Luo Xiu's side, happily placing the dozen or so magic pouches in her hands in front of him, her silver-white erect ears twitching.

"awesome!"

Luo Xiu patted Leila's head. Actually, collecting the corpses of these monsters is no longer of much use. This time, Teacher Guang gave him 800 gold coins. If he wanted to collect money, there should be many nobles in Kanriel who would rush to give him money.

But Leila really enjoyed the feeling of saving money. She said more than once that her dream was to save enough money to buy him a big house.

Looking at Leila's happy face, he recalled the dream he had been having recently.

"Leila."

He took Leila's hand, let her sit on his lap, and looked into the distance.

"What's the matter, Master?"

Although this action had happened many times before, Leila still blushed when she felt the warmth of Luo Xiu's palm.

"If one day I have to go to a very, very far place, will you come with me?"

Luo Xiu knew this was a question with a known answer, but he still asked it anyway.

"A very, very far place?"

Leila tilted her head, the golden sunlight reflected in the flowing seawater and then into her eyes.

She seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed in surprise:

"Then Leila can go see many, many places with her master!"

"Then I need to save even more money, because I still don't seem to have enough money..."

Leila took a small notebook out of her magic pocket and began to calculate in it:

"If I spend a month..."

Luo Xiu glanced at it and saw that the notebook was filled with accounts written by Leila.

Looking at Leila, who was writing intently with her head down, he felt as if he had returned to that night on the slime plain.

Slime Plains is not the end of their journey, neither is Kanriel, nor will Rowanpo.

……

"Does that guy always like to be all lovey-dovey in public?"

On the edge of the boat, Basil looked at the two people on the back of the lizard, his face puffed up with anger.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency Basil."

Tassanya reached out and patted Basil on the shoulder:
