Chapter 543: Hardcore Mediation
Zhang Daye and the others were chatting with Uncle Pagya, while Perona, Vivi and the others were staring at the little girl in Pagya's house.
The little girl's light yellow hair was tied into two braids, and on top of her head was an tentacle-shaped bun similar to Pagya's. She also had a pair of small wings on her back, which looked very cute.
Being stared at by Perona and the others, the little girl shyly hid inside.
"Excuse me, this is my daughter, Miss Conis." Pagna was a strange man. He even used honorifics when addressing his own daughter. He didn't know how he got into this habit. He greeted, "Hasso, Miss Conis, please come out and greet the guests."
"Ha...Hasso!" Conis greeted the members of the Amber Tour Group in the way of the Sky Island people.
The little girls enthusiastically took out the candies and snacks they had brought with them to treat her. Conis looked at the food from the blue sea with curiosity and for a moment she forgot who was the host and who was the guest.
After getting a little acquaintance with them, Conis took out a small harp and played it for everyone.
Zhang Da also glanced at Perona, sensing she was up to something sinister again. Also, the name Conis sounded somewhat familiar; she was probably a supporting character with a moderate presence.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Da also asked: "Excuse me, which direction is the Island of Gods? If I want to go to other sky islands, how do I get there?"
"The Island of Gods is just northwest of Angel Island. You can just take a boat from the White Sea. Excuse me," Pagya said. "As for the other Sky Islands, I heard you have to sail southeast, but I've never been there."
"Thank you. We won't bother you any more." Zhang Da had also obtained the information he wanted and stood up to say goodbye.
"No, no, I'm just telling you some common sense. How rude of you," Pagya said. "You'd better not go to the Island of Gods. It's not safe there."
"I'll pay attention." Zhang Daye grabbed Perona's collar from behind, interrupting her evil plan to abduct the little loli, and left the Pagya house with the others.
…
The Island of the Gods, also known as Arpaiodo, is half the size of the original Gaya Island, but its area is more than three times larger than Angel Island, where the Sky Islanders of Scapia live.
The environment here was originally the same as that of Gaya Island, but because it has stayed on Sky Island for four hundred years, it has been affected by the special environment or materials of Sky Island, and earth-shaking changes have occurred here.
The most obvious thing is the gigantic size of various animals and plants. An ordinary bean vine has grown upwards to a height of several thousand or even hundreds of meters, reaching into the clouds above the sky island.
In this land with extremely lush vegetation and abundant resources, two armies are confronting each other.
Gan Foul, the current 'god' of Sky Island, dressed in knight armor, stood at the front of the group and shouted, " Waipa , we should sit down and have a good talk. The Shandians and us Sky People should be able to coexist peacefully!"
Gan Fowle has one obvious difference from ordinary Sky Islanders - he has no wings.
This is the same as Enel. I don’t know whether they were born without wings, or whether they removed their wings through some method after becoming gods.
Confronting Gan Fowle and his guards were the warriors of Shandia, who had wings since at least four hundred years before they came to Sky Island, and perhaps they themselves were related to the people of Sky Island.
At this time, the leader of the Shandia warriors was Waipa, known as the "War Ghost". Although Waipa was only sixteen or seventeen years old, as a descendant of Kalgara, he had great potential since he was a child and was now the strongest warrior in Shandia.
"Gan For, ask yourself, what ? Do you still want to talk about peaceful coexistence now?" Waipa loudly accused the Sky Island people of their crimes.
At that time, the people of Sky Island relied on various strange shell weapons such as impact shells, slashing shells, and fire shells to catch Calgara and his men off guard, and the Shandian people were shamefully driven out of their territory.
Since then, a war has lasted for hundreds of years. The Shandians, with their outdated weapons and small numbers, have always struggled to win. Now the situation is different. Although they are still outnumbered by the Sky Islanders, they have long been accustomed to the Sky Islanders' fighting style. Waipa is determined to retake the Shandian land in his generation.
"I can't undo what happened in the past..." Gan Fowl was considered a dove among the 'gods' of all time. He didn't deny the past, and tried his best to persuade:
"But now , the Island of the Gods has become an integral part of Skepia, and everyone is grateful for the benefits it brings. I cannot let you take it away from innocent people!"
Waipa scoffed at his words. "Innocent people? Where do you think your God's Guard comes from? Who provides their salaries and manufactures their weapons?"
"..." Gan Forle fell silent. The young man in front of him was too radical, making it difficult to negotiate. It was obvious that during the previous negotiations with the old chief of the Shandia tribe, both sides compromised with each other, and there was some hope for a peaceful solution.
Waipa didn't want to talk to him anymore: "Stop using these condescending words! We will defeat you, take back our land, and light up the lights of Shandora. That's all!"
The Shandian warriors raised their weapons one after another, and the members of the God's Guard were also furious. They had been patient because "God" wanted to negotiate, but these Shandians were ungrateful. It would be better to defeat them in one fell swoop and make them dare not cause trouble again.
The war was about to break out, and even if Gan Fore was reluctant, he had to join the battle. As a benevolent god, he could not sit idly by and watch his warriors.
The battles on Sky Island are very exciting. Almost everyone of them is equipped with a small Viba like ice skates or skateboards, which helps them perform various fancy moves and even change directions flexibly in mid-air.
At the same time, they also have various shells that can emit impacts, slashes, flames, gas, etc., which are full of special effects. When fighting, they also need to formulate strategies based on the enemy's shells. The battle of wits and courage is very exciting.
By the time the Amber Tour Group arrived in Arpaiado, the war had already entered a white-hot stage, with casualties on both sides and the outcome difficult to determine.
"Brother Tatsuya, please find a way to stop them!" Vivi hated this kind of war scene the most. She didn't like anyone to sacrifice.
"This is a war to defend our country, so bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable," Zhang Da said. "Weiwei, don't underestimate the determination of these soldiers. Death alone won't scare them."
"But……"
"I'm going to mediate, but not to stop the war." Zhang Da also took out the Soul-Calming Gong.
Bang~~~~~
With the sound of a gong, the entire battlefield seemed to be paused, and everyone was forced to stop moving.
"What's going on?"
"what happened?"
"My body...can't move!"
A flurry of voices echoed, and Zhang Da made his grand entrance. "Everyone, please give me some face and pause the fighting for a few minutes. I'll say a few words and then leave. Then you can continue fighting, okay?"
The people on the battlefield want to curse now, but even if we don't agree, we have to stop them, right?
Even Wayipa and Gan Forle, the two best fighters, were in the same situation; their bodies were completely out of control.
"Who are you?"
