Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

The Dragon Emperor listened quietly to Long Yan's words, his previously calm expression gradually becoming solemn. He narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, "This matter is of no small importance and must be handled with caution. Yan'er, pass the order down. Immediately dispatch capable personnel to conduct a comprehensive surveillance of the Peacock Tribe. No sign of movement will be overlooked!"

"Yes, Father." Then he asked, "Father, what was the final result of the competition?"

The Dragon Emperor put his hands behind his back and paced, saying, "The results of the competition are out, and the promotion pills have been sent to each tribe. The first place winner is the Fox Tribe, who received three pills. The second place winner is the Tiger Tribe, who received two pills. The third place winner is the Wolf Tribe, who received two pills. The results are not bad."

After hearing this, Long Yan said, "Father, Zi Yu is still waiting for me. I'll leave first." After that, he turned around and left.

The Dragon Emperor smiled and said, "Long An, look at this kid..."

Long An smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, this is the Crown Prince's true nature."

...........................

The sea was surging, waves rolling and pounding against the rocks and the coast. Having just experienced a thrilling battle, a heavy and oppressive atmosphere permeated the air.

Hai Lanyue, the eldest prince of the Sea Clan, once a handsome and majestic figure, now appeared utterly disheveled. Scars of varying depths covered his body, blood staining his ornate armor. He felt a stinging pain from his wounds with every step, but he gritted his teeth and walked resolutely towards the makeshift palace.

As he entered the palace, his body gave way, and he slumped heavily into a chair, his face a look of utter exhaustion. The cold monsoon had quietly arrived, bringing a sudden drop in temperature. The icy waters had chilled the entire sea tribe to an unprecedented degree. Due to the season, they were unable to reach land to seek warmth and supplies.

Since a month ago, they have been subjected to frequent and unexpected attacks. These attackers include not only enormous and ferocious deep-sea beasts, but also numerous mysterious creatures of unknown origin. The prolonged and continuous fighting has left the sea tribe soldiers exhausted, both physically and mentally, and their supplies are gradually running low. Now, they face a severe shortage of food and clothing. Worse still, many injured soldiers urgently need life-saving medicine.

At this moment, Hai Lingyan, the chief guard of the Sea Clan, hurried over. Seeing Hai Lanyue in such a state, his heart was filled with worry and concern. He walked quickly to Hai Lanyue and asked softly, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Hai Lanyue slowly raised her head, her eyes dim but still resolute, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the situation now?"

Hai Lingyan hesitated, seemingly unsure how to begin. Finally, he took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and said, "Your Highness, according to preliminary statistics, our sea tribe suffered heavy losses in this battle. Over 7,000 brave warriors have perished..." At this point, Hai Lingyan's eyes moistened.

Upon hearing this, Hai Lanyue sighed deeply and said slowly, "Over seven thousand people...!" Her beautiful, yet slightly mournful face was now filled with sorrow, and her voice was filled with endless sadness and grief. In just one month, the Sea Tribe had lost a third of its people.

Hai Lingyan, standing nearby, added solemnly, "Your Highness, there are over 20,000 wounded soldiers, and the seriously injured have given up treatment. Our stockpile of healing medicine has been completely depleted. Your Highness, when will the supplies arrive? In this situation, how should we cope?" He glanced worriedly at Hai Lanyue. Behind them stood the towering, imposing Sea Clan Imperial City, where their loved ones were. The seriously injured soldiers had all been sent back...

Hai Lanyue was silent for a long time, then raised her head and said firmly, "I'm going to contact the Orcs, hoping they can lend us supplies."

A glimmer of hope ignited in Hai Lingyan's heart, "Your Highness, the Orc Crown Prince has some friendship with us and will lend it to us."

Hai Lanyue didn't know what the result would be, so she said softly, "Just give it a try and you'll know the result. It's better than just sitting and waiting for death."

Hai Lanyue pulled a communication bead from her bosom, her beautiful eyes gleaming with anticipation. She poured her spiritual energy into it, activating the mysterious bead. Instantly, the communication bead began to emit a soft, gentle glow.

Elsewhere, Long Yan, having just concluded his meeting with his father, hurried back. He was anxious to return to Ziyu's side. As he walked, he suddenly sensed the communication bead given to him by the sea tribe vibrating slightly, accompanied by a familiar surge of energy. Long Yan glanced up at the palace not far ahead, then reached out to retrieve the bead and channeled his spiritual energy. Instantly, the bead lit up.

A slightly disheveled figure slowly emerged from the communication bead. Her once elegant face now looked haggard, and her clothing was ripped and bloodstained. This scene stunned Long Yan, who stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Hai Lanyue, what exactly happened to the sea clan? Why are you in such a mess?" Long Yan asked with a hint of worry in his voice.

Hai Lanyue smiled bitterly and shook his head. A deep sadness flashed in his beautiful eyes. He replied in a low and slightly trembling voice: "Your Highness Prince Long, the sea people have been fighting for more than a month! Now there are heavy casualties and scarce resources. It is really difficult to hold on. That's why I took the liberty to contact you, hoping that Prince Long can be merciful and lend us some food and healing medicine to solve our urgent needs." At the end, Hai Lanyue's voice even carried a hint of pleading, which made people feel pity when they heard it.

At this moment, Lin Ziyu, who was in the house, suddenly heard Long Yan's voice. He couldn't help but feel moved. He quickly put down what he was busy with and walked quickly towards the door.

When Lin Ziyu opened the door, he immediately saw Long Yan standing outside, holding a communication bead. He quickly walked over to Long Yan and called out, "Brother Yan." Then he saw Hai Lanyue, a disheveled and pitiful figure, on the communication bead.

"Hey... the eldest prince of the sea clan, what happened to him? Did something happen in the sea clan?" Lin Ziyu looked at Long Yan with a puzzled look on his face and asked.

Long Yan raised his head, looked at Lin Ziyu and nodded, then reached out and took his arm, saying softly, "It's windy and cold outside, let's go inside and talk." As he said that, he turned around and walked into the house with Lin Ziyu, and closed the door tightly.

Long Yan placed the communication bead on the table and said, "Hai Lanyue, tell me, what happened to the sea tribe?"

Hai Lanyue showed a sad expression and began to speak, "A month ago, the sea tribe was attacked by a large number of level one to three sea beasts. We eliminated them. Then the level four to six sea beasts attacked, and we sacrificed 50,000 sea warriors to eliminate them. Then, the deep-sea behemoths led the level seven to nine sea beasts to attack the sea tribe." Hai Lanyue paused, took a deep breath, and said, "My father died together with the deep-sea behemoths, and we were able to eliminate them all. But before we could recuperate, many unknown creatures attacked our sea tribe again. They were small, like insects, and could control corpses."

After hearing this, Long Yan and Lin Ziyu exchanged a glance. The Sea King had passed away, and the insects that could control the corpse... What was that? Lin Ziyu thought of the Gu worm. Long Yan frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Hai Lanyue, we can borrow the supplies, but I need to discuss this with my father. Also, I need to know the specific situation of the Sea Clan."

"Your Highness..." Hai Lingyan looked at Hai Lanyue worriedly. His eyes said, Your Highness can't say it.

Hai Lanyue smiled bitterly, "Lingyan, if no one helps, the sea clan will disappear and we won't be able to hold on for long." He turned to look at Long Yan and said, "Your Highness Prince Long, the sea clan now only has one imperial city that has not fallen..." After that, Hai Lanyue fell silent, waiting for the arrangement of fate.

After listening to this, Long Yan stood up and said, "I will go and ask my father for instructions now."

"Brother Yan, I want to know more about the insects that can control corpses." Lin Ziyu said.

Long Yan: "Okay." He turned and left, while Lin Ziyu asked Hai Lanyue about the insects.
