Chapter 106 Desperate Situation, A Redemption from Above
At this moment, the Ohmu officially began to communicate with Nausicaä. As its tentacles slowly loosened, Nausicaä's expression became less composed.
"No, you can't do this!"
Hearing Nausicaä's cry, the old men, including Mito, felt their blood run cold. They thought to themselves, "My little darling! Why is she haggling with the Ohmu?" Unfortunately, Mito and the others couldn't communicate with the Ohmu.
The Ohmu seemed to ignore Nausicaä's words. At that moment, a giant bullfrog flew over from the sky. Under the influence of insect pheromones, the Ohmu's originally green eyes turned red.
A dozen or so Queen Insects surged to the surface from the lakebed, leaving the old men, including Mitt, completely stunned. They'd fallen right into the Queen Insects' nest! This was unbelievable!
Nausicaä, however, did not seem afraid. Instead, she turned around and said:
"Grandpa Mitt, give me the glider right now!!"
"Ah! Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"It's too late, the swarm is already agitated!!"
Sure enough, more King Worms rushed out of the water, but they quickly split into two sides. In the distance, a golden glow shimmered, adding a touch of holiness to the originally eerie Sea of Decay.
"Your Highness..."
"Has something else arrived?"
Soon, a person suddenly appeared between the two factions of King Insects, standing abruptly in the middle, as if the other King Insects hadn't even seen him.
The strange appearance of Liu Yufei was bad enough, but now he was standing on the lake and walking towards us.
"I said, it was you who disturbed the King Insect?"
"It's you??"
Nausicaä was startled when she saw Liu Yufei in front of her. At that moment, Dido, who was in her arms, jumped out. It had already smelled Liu Yufei's scent and thought he was here to take it away again, so it immediately growled at Liu Yufei.
Liu Yufei merely smiled at Dido, without much enthusiasm. The difficulty of embracing new love and the lingering attachment to old love is always the most troublesome thing, and at this moment, Liu Yufei's thoughts were more about cherishing the memory than meeting again.
"Lord Liu, I'm leaving this place to you!!"
Nausicaä immediately realized what was happening, quickly pushed Dido down, and swiftly boarded the airship.
"Hey! Why are you ordering me around?!"
"Sayonara!!"
Nausicaä didn't care about anything else; she immediately started the engine and took off, while Liu Yufei was still thinking about Dido.
"Ugh! If I'd known you liked this kind of thing, would I have gone to such lengths?"
Watching Nausicaä walk away, Liu Yufei still called out loudly:
"Don't worry, Wang Chong won't kill that kid. Just be careful!"
Liu Yufei had instructed them that these King Insects would definitely not kill Asbel, but he was worried that they might accidentally be infected by the Sea of Decay. After saying this, Liu Yufei turned to look at the old men.
"Gentlemen, your passion remains as strong as ever! Going to war at your age, is it 'the general's white hair and the soldier's tears'? No, it's 'the soldier's white hair and the general's tears'!"
After all, these old men are the real laborers; it seems the country is truly out of manpower!! Liu Yufei had seen the behavior of these allied cheerleaders just now; it was clearly a setup to sabotage Dorumechia!
Mitt didn't know who this guy was, but he knew that Liu Yufei was very strange. Not only was he floating on the water, but he also wasn't wearing a protective shield on his face.
"who are you?"
Mitt immediately pointed the gun at Liu Yufei, but his finger wasn't on the trigger. Liu Yufei smiled and said:
"If you fire here, it will attract countless flying insects!! Look!!"
Just as Liu Yufei said, the sky was still filled with swarms of flying insects, which were heading towards Nausicaä. Any noise here would definitely cause them to panic.
"Your Highness..."
"Don't worry, she'll be fine. Right now, you should be thinking about us. The feng shui here is terrible!"
"We're not leaving; we're waiting for the princess to return!!"
When people reach a certain age, that kind of stubbornness is inevitable. Liu Yufei didn't want to explain further because he knew that explanations wouldn't make a difference.
Then Liu Yufei's body slowly rose into the air. When the old men saw this scene again, they were still shocked. Then they felt the cargo ship shaking beneath their feet.
"Send one person to pilot the airship, the rest of you back to the cabin!!"
"No, I must wait for our princess to return!"
"Hahaha, this isn't a request! You can think of it as you being my prisoners now, and prisoners have no say!!"
"This bastard!!"
"Philip!!"
Mite immediately pulled the gun down from the man's hand. If Liu Yufei were killed with a single shot, they would never be able to get out. Moreover, Mite knew that based on Liu Yufei's current performance, although he didn't know what other abilities Liu Yufei might have, he was certain that Liu Yufei would not be afraid of firearms.
The enormous airship soared into the sky, and Liu Yufei stood atop its hull. As Liu Yufei went numb again, the question arose: where to go now?
He didn't know what Laputa was like now, so after thinking it over, he decided to send the veterans back to where they belonged.
"Sir, please drive faster, we're in a hurry!"
The old man driving the gunboat was incredibly frustrated! It felt like someone was pointing a gun at his head. He pulled on the shovel, and the engine at the back of the gunboat emitted a bright flash, turning the gunboat into a streak of light.
The gunboat wouldn't normally be this fast, especially with the cargo ship towing behind it. But now, Liu Yufei has made the entire hull lighter, and it arrived at Kushana's camp in just over ten minutes.
Somewhere in the Sea of Decay, insects are chasing a boy who is carrying a rifle on his back, wearing a mask, and still has goggles on his head. He is running through the Crystal Forest.
"Damn it, there are so many!!"
Asbel's protagonist aura is undeniable; he fell from such a height and was completely unharmed, yet now he seems to be in dire straits.
Bang... boom boom
Two shotgun blasts rang out, and after realizing it was useless, Asbel immediately pulled the pin on a flashbang. In this world's setting, flashbangs are supposed to repel insects, but it seems that no one except Nausicaä has ever succeeded.
After the explosion, the insects immediately swarmed back, and there was no way to kill them all. Asbel had no choice but to use his last flashbang. This also shows Asbel's personality; he is not a calm person and easily puts himself in danger. Therefore, he is not a qualified king.
As if fate had smiled upon him this time, the flashbang explosion blasted a large hole in the trees, and Asbel crawled inside without hesitation, intending to fight using the advantageous terrain.
But these trees had been crystallized for many years, making them as brittle as sand. Asbel instantly fell down the stairs, while the flying insects that had been waiting below... Indeed, the fierce battle just now only took place on the upper level.
The unique environment of the Sea of Decay has resulted in several layers, and Asbel, now suspended in mid-air, has nowhere to escape. He kicked the back of the bull and instantly drew his longsword from his waist.
Before he could retaliate, he was struck by the massive bull, and Asbel screamed in pain as his body plummeted downwards. Just then, a flash of light appeared, and Asbel saw only long, flowing hair and captivating eyes...
You descended from the heavens, landing on my horse's back, as smooth as jade...
We're on the same side, so I won't say a word! In most stories, it's the hero rescuing the damsel in distress, like Pazu and Sheeta, Ashitaka and San. But here, it's the beauty and the hero.
The girls in the old man's works each have their own characteristics, but they all have one thing in common: they never stand behind anyone. Even the supporting characters all have a unique feminine charm when they appear.
Nausicaä is such a courageous and resolute girl; perhaps this is the kind of girl boys portray! And the so-called "strong female protagonist" novels on the internet today cannot be said to be anything but strong.
These people only have goals, not ideals. Don't tell me that doing it for a man is an ideal! If ideals are so superficial, then it's laughable!
What's even funnier is that girls nowadays actually like to read about "darkening" characters, or how "darkening" characters become invincible. Back in the day, there were also quite a few "darkening" stories in male-oriented online literature.
But how to put it? Turning to the dark side, simply put, requires going through three kinds of torment to achieve, which means you have to kill yourself three times. If you do that, are you still yourself?
Some victories are meaningful, while others are not. There are countless stories of perseverance and endurance, but are these things truly worthy of praise? The answer is not necessarily!
To achieve a certain goal, one might sell their dignity and soul, ultimately gaining victory? A novel could certainly end here, but reality wouldn't!
What did Goujian do after his victory? He took furious revenge on everyone he had wronged. What happened to Wen Zhong in the end? They could share hardship but not prosperity. Can you say that the Goujian of the past and the Goujian of the future were the same person?
Turning to the dark side is undoubtedly about compromising with fate, abandoning all principles, and doing everything for the sake of ultimate victory.
We certainly admire such people, but these stories are written to serve as a warning. Nowadays, with the development of the times, we all see ourselves as protagonists, which leads to historical scoundrels being praised!
For example, Cao Cao's reputation has improved a lot. In fact, who doesn't like the legacy of Wei Wu? But the key is that you are not Cao Cao! History is not written to tell you who to be, but to tell you who to choose as your friends.
Between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, who would you choose to be your friend? Cao Cao is a scoundrel, smarter than you and with no good intentions. Aren't you afraid?
Therefore, for thousands of years, we have always chosen Liu Bei, and we cannot and will not change. The collapse of rites and music is temporary, and human thought will ultimately follow the example of our predecessors.
No matter how you try to beautify some people, they will still make you feel uncomfortable, especially those crazy people who wield power. If you ask them again, would you rather be friends with Ashitaka or Princess Eboshi?
Huan Ji is driven by righteousness and disregards personal feelings. So why do we still feel uncomfortable even though we know she is right? Because we are mortals. Mortals can only empathize with other mortals. We cannot understand the pain of a billionaire; we can only understand the pain of our own social class!
Therefore, Ashitaka will always be the protagonist, and my heart will always lean towards Ashitaka! So, between Princess Eboshi and Ashitaka, our instincts will lead us to choose Ashitaka.
So, everyone has chosen Ashitaka, and if Princess Eboshi doesn't want her, I'll take her!
