CHAPTER 414: CHAPTER 56: NEW HEZLOSA

"Sigh~"

"..."

"Sigh..."

*It wasn’t just once. The sailors had been sighing frequently in recent days... because they were now a massive fleet on the sea, with decks connected to form a giant fleet group.*

This was the new [Nation].

*They farmed on the deck, drifted on the sea, fished; it was a completely new mode of living. No one knew what the future would hold... but those who had lost their homes and families could only follow the path led by the king.*

A brand-new Loasa [Island].

*The place that used to be an island was now completely uninhabitable due to the severe impact of [sea] disasters. They couldn’t grow crops anymore. What they could do now...*

was take all their possessions and roam the sea, searching for a new large island, and attempt to start a new life there... just like before.

In fact, because the Lusa King had been paying attention beforehand, it was relatively easy to find one... now they had placed many building materials on the [New Loasa Island].

Some people were left to begin preliminary construction, while others used the full power of the nation to go back to the original Loasa Islands, which were now eroded beyond recognition by seawater, and retrieve the remaining materials.

"Don’t sigh! Are you Lusa’s good men?!"

The Lusa King shouted cheerfully, his voice spread from the flagship to all the ships... or rather, it resonated throughout the [Loasa Islands] on the sea.

"Even if the nation is destroyed! We are still Lusa!"

*The Lusa King shouted this, but his heart was also filled with the sadness of the nation’s destruction, and a sense of loss. However, he was the king... he had to show this demeanor at times like this.*

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Suppressing his inner pain, the Lusa King laughed out loud, shouting with the appearance of a king who wouldn’t panic or grieve; "Wherever I am! That is the kingdom of the islands!"

"I am the Lusa King, so the Loasa Islands are the Loasa Islands!"

The Lusa King’s voice spread throughout the entire fleet, as if he was never worried about the future, shouting; "Just follow me and work! Don’t sigh! Your families are waiting for your smiles! If you can’t help but worry, then sing!"

"Guys! If you are confused, just sing!!!"

It’s worth noting that sailors and pirates have always been closely linked to music since ancient times... or rather, the sea and singing, good wine, and feasts have always been closely associated.

If you’re confused on the sea, then sing the ship song loudly; if you miss your home on the sea, then sing loudly at the feast; if you’re bored on the sea, then chase the goats... no, sing songs.

"..."

"There once was a ship that put to sea♫"

A sailor took the lead in singing softly. From the beginning... it was the ship song spread among sailors, the one sung by Yila, which had become very popular in recent years and everyone knew it.

"And the name of the ship was the Billy of Tea♫"

Following him was the second sailor, the third sailor... eventually, it turned into a nearly thunderous, completely uncoordinated, noisy "chorus."*

But, that was already enough.

Everyone’s expressions turned resolute... hope and determination were rekindled in their hearts.

The Lusa King was truly impressive, as one of the surviving kings of a great nation, he exhibited normal leadership and personal charisma (here referring to normal charisma, not the three kings who increased their charisma through cute points or natural cluelessness).

However, charisma was indeed something that varied from person to person.

——————————

"Although the Dwarves’ character is [fight fight fight fight fight, crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy], if a Dwarf King has the same character... then charisma, in the Dwarves’ hearts, might not be as strong as the current Dwarf King."

Yila spoke, nodding at Satan Ye during the morning meeting, saying, "So I am very certain that you are now... a more qualified Demon King than your father, and you are capable of ruling the Demon King Territory."

Yila said this, shifting his gaze from the worried-looking Satan Ye to the equally worried Hilena, saying, "You too, Hilena... you are the most outstanding maid I have ever seen."

"..."

Previously, Yila had already mentioned that the seal in Hell was mostly broken, and now he was going to fight the calamities underneath Hell, which most leaders already knew about... but Yila’s attitude now was somewhat like he was giving a final farewell.

"Mr. Yila..."

Satan Ye said this, having already resolved something internally, grabbing Yila’s sleeve with her hand, her eyes filled with steadfast determination, saying, "I will go with you. No... the Demon King Territory will go with you!"

Hilena didn’t say anything to Satan Ye’s words, but her silence was an agreement in itself.

"Yes, as Lady Satan Ye said..."

Senata spoke, as the calm leader of the Blood Clan in the Demon King Territory, the diplomatic person responsible, expected to shoulder the responsibility of casting a veto. But at this moment, she spoke uncalmly—

"If the situation is truly dangerous, then let me die with you..."

Not just her, but the other leaders also agreed. At some point, the Demon King Territory had already considered Yila as one of their own... and an indispensable one.

Therefore, the "I" in Senata’s words could fully be changed to "we."

Yila couldn’t help but be moved by this... even if everyone completely misunderstood him.

"Yes, we will go to Hell with you, and we will protect you with our lives... if we die, so be it, it’s no big deal. At worst, we’ll end up like Tipcapu, and you’ll have to use your body to bring us back out again."

Vera, with her legs crossed, said this casually, shattering the warm atmosphere completely. She clapped her hands, laughing; "Haha~ good, it’s just like we never died!"

This was indeed a logical explanation.

"Haha, indeed..."

Yila couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head with a helpless smile, saying, "However, you guys are just overthinking... what I’m doing now is nothing more than the usual ’work arrangements’ I make whenever I travel far with Satan Ye."

It was true; almost every time Yila traveled to other nations for a few days or weeks, he would arrange the upcoming work goals beforehand... but this time, the arrangements seemed particularly long.

There were also many instructions that felt like a final parting... so naturally, everyone misunderstood.

"And, I’ll probably only take extraordinary combat power with me. You all staying in the Demon King Territory will be the greatest help to me."

Yila said this with his palms out, his expression calming down, saying, "The reason I am setting so many future goals all at once... is because I might not return for a while."

"If the calamity cannot be resolved, I might be forced to trap it within my soul world... but I won’t just leave it at that. I will stay in my soul and solve the calamity as much as I can, which will take some time."

"..."

Saying this, everyone felt reassured... and became more curious about Yila’s soul world.

"How long will it take?"

Satan Ye asked, thinking it might be a year or more, definitely not exceeding ten years, which was just a moment for the long-living and eternal species like them.

Then, Yila answered—

"About a month or so... probably."

"..."

"..."

*That’s it?!?!?!?!*
