Chapter 650

Widow's Watch, a port hidden beneath a natural cliff face.

Krieg soldiers were busy loading supplies onto ships. Watching a slave slacking off, Zhang Cheng backhanded him with a whip.

The man howled, baring his teeth, and hurriedly picked up his pace.

Watching this scene, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say with disdain, "Damn mongrel! If anyone else slacks off, I'll have them thrown into the crocodile pit! I think those guests will really enjoy the aquatic show!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the person in charge of managing the slaves immediately said, "Yes, my lord Count!"

Lowering their heads in fear, the slaves hurriedly accelerated their movements.

The people working here were all rather robust, because to Zhang Cheng, they were all consumables; there was no need to feel any pity for them.

In any case, the business he was best at was trading without capital. Since there was no capital involved, what was there to worry about!

If it weren't for the insufficient medical standards of the time, Zhang Cheng could have earned a fortune in "parts" money!

Life is priceless, but in Zhang Cheng's eyes, the slaves had a price!

The only difference was whether he was willing or not!

"My lord Count, preparations for the voyage are complete. We can set sail at any time!"

Approaching Zhang Cheng, the seasoned captain spoke up.

But after hearing his words, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "You don't need to come along this time!"

"Why, my lord Count? Everything I have belongs to you. If you hadn't sent someone to cure my daughter, she would be gone by now. If you need to keep it a secret, I am willing to cut out my tongue!"

Looking earnestly at Zhang Cheng, the captain couldn't help but speak up.

"No, I intend to go to the ruins of Valyria this time, so it is very dangerous!"

Looking at the captain before him, Zhang Cheng explained.

After all, Zhang Cheng valued ordinary subjects highly; they were his own people!

Moreover, the ruins of Valyria were filled with poisonous mist, which no normal person could approach. Bringing ordinary people along would mean too great a sacrifice!

"I am willing to offer my honor for the Ce Lin Gen family!"

Looking firmly at Zhang Cheng, the captain couldn't help but become serious.

"I am not willing. Go back and spend time with your family! Your future still needs to be dedicated to the family!"

Patting the captain on the shoulder, Zhang Cheng laughed.

Just as he walked up, the captain hurriedly ran forward, but was blocked by the Krieg soldiers.

Before long, as the skilled Krieg soldiers unfurled the sails, the clipper ship quickly left the port.

Watching the departing clipper, the captain grew worried.

Because the ruins of Valyria were not a place an ordinary person could approach. May the lord Count return safely!

Crossing the strait, Zhang Cheng soon followed the map he had left behind and headed toward Valyria.

However, along the way, Zhang Cheng encountered many enthusiastic and hospitable Braavosi naval vessels.

Because the design of the clipper ship was far too conspicuous, the other party chased after Zhang Cheng the whole way to "welcome" him.

Facing this situation, Zhang Cheng did not stand on ceremony and immediately gave them a bow-to-bow collision.

Zhang Cheng: Who do they think I am? Bring the ship alongside!

Braavosi:

As broken wooden planks drifted on the sea, Zhang Cheng sat on a wooden crate, slicing fruit in his hand, and said, "If you've played enough, continue on. Don't waste time. Our goal this time is not to go in circles with this bunch of idiots!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the Krieg soldiers, who had been planning to continue, instantly turned cold.

As blood gradually stained the sea red and man-eating giant sharks surged out, everything seemed to become calm.

Standing on the railing, watching the Braavosi who were constantly shouting before being dragged into the sea amidst the biting, Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said, "They are too enthusiastic; it really makes me ashamed!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the Krieg soldiers looked at each other and fell silent.

However, after half a month of sailing, Zhang Cheng finally arrived at the Smoking Sea.

As for why it was called the Smoking Sea, it was because the sea area here had been swept by toxins, and the rising thick smoke was highly poisonous! Regarding this, the Krieg soldiers skillfully took out their gas masks, as if they were not worried at all.

Zhang Cheng also calmly put his on and continued to advance toward the ruins of Valyria.

A few days later, the clipper ship that had crossed the ruins finally saw land.

However, on the shore, many strange figures seemed to be gathering. Looking at these greyscale victims, Zhang Cheng clapped his hands and said, "After landing, kill every living thing you see!"

Drawing the longswords at their waists, the Krieg soldiers seemed to have already prepared themselves.

"Boom!"

The ship docked. Before the swarming greyscale victims could appear, the Krieg soldiers began their charge.

Amidst the silent slaughter, the greyscale victims seemed shocked. After all, who was the truly bloodthirsty existence?

Looking at these greyscale victims who were constantly falling, Zhang Cheng's eyes revealed coldness.

Because being able to survive in the ruins of Valyria proved that these things were no longer "human"!

Think about it: in this place where all things end, what did they live on?

Moreover, greyscale is a fatal existence, completely incurable, and carries the risk of transmission.

Therefore, once someone falls ill, they are ruthlessly expelled, and those patients, having no other choice, can only come to the ruins of Valyria to huddle together for warmth!

Watching the Krieg soldiers go on a killing spree, Zhang Cheng finally stepped off the deck, because he did not like to strike at the "weak."

Advancing step by step, Zhang Cheng still sent over fifty Krieg soldiers to guard the clipper ship.

After several days of long trekking, Zhang Cheng finally saw biological diversity here.

Because he saw people who looked like lizards!

However, before the lizardmen could launch an attack, the Krieg soldiers, seeing heresy, had already rushed up to offer a "warm welcome"!

Krieg Death Korps: Heretic, open the door, Krieg is here to bring warmth!

Lizardmen:

In the cruel battle, any lizardman that had not stopped breathing would have its head severed by the Krieg soldiers using their entrenching tools, as this was the safest method.

"How cruel!"

Sighing endlessly, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but complain.

But just at this moment, the ground suddenly began to surge.

At this moment, Zhang Cheng drew the Purple Star at his waist and roared, "Watch your feet!"

"Boom!"

As the earth cracked, a creature resembling a worm rushed out.

Looking at the thing before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "Damn, this earthworm is huge. It must be very strong at tilling the soil!"

But before Zhang Cheng could finish speaking, the fire worm sprayed fire directly at him.

Looking at the incoming scorching flames, Zhang Cheng backhanded his shield from his back and carried the flames head-on.

"Clatter!"

The scorching flames swept through, immediately melting the surrounding rocks.

Feeling the high temperature invading, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "Berserk!"

His body temperature soared, Zhang Cheng's eyes turned scarlet, and he waited for the flames to dissipate.

Before long, when the fire worm seemed to lose its momentum, Zhang Cheng, who had lifted his shield, pounced forward and slashed down with his sword.

"Clatter!"

Blood splattered on the ground, and the fire worm lost all movement.

Fearing that the opponent wasn't dead, Zhang Cheng slashed off its head with another sword stroke, then kicked it away and said, "Damn, earthworms can breathe fire? That's truly absurd!"

But just as Zhang Cheng finished speaking, the ground in all directions began to crack continuously.

Watching the continuously emerging fire worms being attracted by the blood, Zhang Cheng immediately looked helpless as he carried the Purple Star and said, "Fine, I should have known that there would be many earthworms, but this seems a bit excessive!"

Looking at the endless stream of fire worms, Zhang Cheng immediately developed a headache.

However, looking at the fire worms, the Krieg soldiers' eyes began to shine.

Krieg Death Korps: The opportunity to return to glory has arrived!
