From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword
Chapter 538 - 345: Resurgence_2

Xu Jitong, Cai Jinhong, and their group are Superpower Soldiers who have gathered from other battle zones.

These three are not specifically on the Ocean system enhancement route; their skill set includes Ocean system skills, but they lack a complete ocean combat system.

So they teleported to a nearby island in the sea, and after adapting to the environment, they came over to join up.

...

Friggs was dragged onto the reef, and seeing Lu Heng's group, asked curiously, "Are you all here to watch my execution? Friend, do me a favor, after these damned Sea Demons chop off my head, take it back to the Molten Crown for me, try not to let the sharks eat it, I don't want to become shark feces."

Lu Heng found this guy kind of amusing sometimes and smiled, saying, "You won't die just yet."

Friggs frowned in confusion, "What? Do these Sea Demons want to continue tormenting me? That's too cruel!"

His legs were already swollen from soaking in the sea, and he felt that if this continued, he'd definitely have to cut his legs off.

A Sea Demon Warrior took out a key, unlocked the shackles on Friggs' limbs, then waved for the other Sea Demons to dive into the sea and disappear.

Friggs stood on the reef, looking around with a face full of bewilderment.

There were no Sea Demons around, not a single one, only Lu Heng and his group remained.

He moved his hands and feet, bewildered, saying, "What's going on? What trick are these legless monsters plotting?"

Lu Heng walked over, patted his shoulder, took his one-meter-twenty figure in an arm, and headed towards the sailboat by the reef, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

The sailboat wasn't big, only ten meters long, but it was the best marine transportation available at the moment.

Friggs got on the sailboat with a puzzled look and only after the boat set sail did he turn around to ask, "The Sea Demons want to let me go?"

Lu Heng nodded and explained, "Yes, the High Priest of the Sea Demon Clan agreed to let me mediate for your two clans, and my request was to take you back."

"How is that possible? These Sea Demons can't be that easy to talk to," Friggs found it unbelievable.

Actually, it's not that the Sea Demon Clan is easy to talk to, but High Priestess Sona knows that the Sea Demon Clan will face a crisis, and reconciling with the Black Iron Dwarves is the best option.

Moreover, there is no spatial conflict for survival between the two tribes; if the Gros Embers issue can be resolved, there's simply no need for the two tribes to go to war.

Lu Heng continued, "I saved your life, shouldn't you show some gratitude?"

It was only then Friggs realized, spreading his arms to give Lu Heng a hug, gratefully saying, "Thank you so much, when I return to the Molten Crown, I'll thank you with all my treasures."

Lu Heng waved his hand and said, "No need for that, but you'll have to do me a favor."

The Black Iron Dwarves are usually hot-tempered and very direct in their actions; their gratitude towards those who helped them is straightforward without much subtlety.

So Friggs immediately agreed, "Sure, you say it, any favor will do."

Lu Heng said, "I'm going to the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom this time, to help your Black Iron Dwarves reconcile with the Sea Demon Clan, so I hope you can take me to meet your King."

Friggs is the captain of the Fry, tasked with dumping the Gros Embers. His status among the Black Iron Dwarves isn't the highest level, but it's definitely not low, so he certainly has the privilege to see the Dwarf King.

Upon hearing Lu Heng's request, Friggs frowned and said, "Wait a minute, you want us to reconcile with the Sea Demon Clan?"

"Yes," Lu Heng nodded.

Friggs immediately waved his hand in refusal, "That's impossible, those damned Sea Demons, I will never reconcile with them."

Lu Heng said with a stern face, "It seems the Black Iron Dwarves are not as kind as the Sea Demons."

Such overt provocation, but Friggs fell for it easily.

He immediately jumped up and loudly retorted, "Nonsense! We Black Iron Dwarves are more honest and kinder than the Sea Demons. You actually use 'kind' to describe those legless monsters!"

Lu Heng counter-questioned, "The High Priest of the Sea Demon Clan was willing to let you go when they heard I wanted to help your clans reconcile, if it were you, could you do the same?"

Friggs was suddenly silent, as he found it hard to understand why the Sea Demons would be willing to let him go.

He frowned in thought for a moment, proposing a possibility, "Is the Sea Demon Clan plotting something? Are they planning to follow me and launch a surprise attack on our tribe?"

Su Muyu couldn't help but let out a chuckle upon hearing this, then quickly covered her mouth to hold back the laughter.

Lin Zeyu patted his shoulder and said, "Doesn't your tribe live in the Molten Crown? If they want to raid you, do they still need to follow you?"

Friggs suddenly realized that it was indeed so, becoming even more puzzled, "Then why did the Sea Demons let me go?"

Lu Heng looked towards the distant mountains, saying softly, "Friggs, are you really considering the future of your tribe?"

Friggs replied naturally, "Of course, for the future of the tribe, I can die in battle!"

Lu Heng turned back to look into his eyes and asked, "Do you know why your King wants you to dump volcanic ash into the sea?"

"This..." Friggs indeed didn't know, he was just executing the task given by the Dwarf King.

When accepting this task, his King told him that it would affect the future fate of the tribe.

So, he had always regarded the task of dumping volcanic ash as a sacred endeavor.

Lu Heng continued to ask, "You don't even know why you're dumping volcanic ash, so what do you have to secure the future of the tribe?"
