Chapter 161 Show Off Your Power! I Want This Kunwu Giant Boat

…

On this side, the third prince Shentu Jingming was still shamelessly trying to please Wang Longyan. On the other side, the pursuit battle in Wuwu Sea had reached a critical moment.

Between the sea and the sky, evil energy pervades.

The gray-black demonic energy enveloped the entire sea like mist. The ferocious Kunwu giant boat exuded a huge sense of oppression like a fortress, and the waves that surged during its journey stirred up countless waves.

Several three-eyed treasure ships shuttled quickly across the sea, outflanking the dilapidated merchant ship from all directions, driving it in the preset direction.

Huge crossbow bolts pierced the sky, and the roar of artillery fire echoed throughout the sky. The terrifying power of the powerful in the supernatural realm spread across the world.

Terrible shock waves swept out one after another.

Under the fierce confrontation, the entire sea surface became turbulent and stirred up huge waves.

The armed merchant ship was already in extremely bad condition, and under this encirclement and interception, it seemed even more isolated and alone, like a trapped animal in a cage. Even if it tried its best to fight left and right, it seemed that there was no hope at all.

Seeing this scene, a person on the broad and domineering bow of Kunwu's giant boat burst out laughing.

"Hai Ge, Hai Ge, more than three thousand years have passed. Xia Xia died long ago. Do you really think you are still a royal princess?" The man's eyes were sarcastic, and there was an unspeakable contempt in his tone. , "I really don't know whether to call you naive or stupid."

Amid the demonic aura, this man stood with his hands behind his back, his splendid indigo robe swaying in the wind. His temperament was noble and awe-inspiring, and he was full of momentum. He was full of high spirits and flying wantonly.

This person is none other than Sun Yaowu, the contemporary eldest son of the Xia Palace of the Demon Zhao Kingdom.

Beside him, there were several worshipers and attendants standing beside him. They were all men of restrained power and extraordinary aura. They were obviously subordinates of Prince Xia's Mansion.

"The most ridiculous thing is that the Si family, a canary who was raised in captivity, actually tried to get back the [Tide Book of Tides] and set up a flag to summon the old troops to restore the country." After hearing this, a man standing beside him The old man stroked his beard and said with a sinister smile, "They don't even think about it, except for a few stubborn old people and young people, who would follow them to do such stupid things that will lead to the destruction of the whole family?"

This old man is a divine power enshrined in the Xia Prince's Mansion, named [Sun Dahai]. He is one of the divine power realm enshrined specially sent by the Xia King to Sun Yaowu to protect him, and at the same time, he is at his disposal.

"After the one-for-one situation was formed, the war between immortals and demons ended. The immortal dynasty and the demon dynasty had already acquiesced in the demise of the previous summer, so they were stupid enough not to believe in evil." Sun Yaowu continued to sneer, "Under the superiority of the demon dynasty, In the eyes of the emperor and the Immortal Emperor, a country or a state is just a pawn in the game, and they will never be soft-hearted when it is time to abandon it. And we are just worthless things that the Immortal Dynasty abandoned after winning the established interests. "

"Without the support of the Immortal Emperor, Si's attempt to restore the country is just a big joke."

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion." Sun Dahai stroked his goatee and suddenly laughed, "Now that Princess Haige is a turtle in a cage, how about we capture her alive and lie to the outside world that she committed suicide out of fear of crime. By then, , Your Majesty, you can keep her by your side and enjoy it for yourself. Hehe, although the Si family is different from the past, this girl still bears the title of 'princess', and her taste is definitely different from that of ordinary women."

Sun Yaowu put his hands behind his back and glanced at Sun Dahai calmly: "Hai Zongfang, your vision is not good~ Of course you want to capture people alive. However, it would be a waste to enjoy such a precious delicacy by yourself."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Sun Dahai rolled his eyes thoughtfully.

"Have you ever heard of Shentu Jingming, the third prince of the Demon Dynasty?" Sun Yaowu said calmly.

"Is that the third prince who is thought to have a brain problem?" Sun Dahai was puzzled. "I heard that he does things as he pleases and only cares about his own preferences. He never cares about what others think. As long as he is happy, he doesn't care if the sky falls."

"Is there something wrong with his brain?" A smile appeared at the corner of Sun Yaowu's lips, "If he really had something wrong with his brain, would His Majesty the Demon Emperor pamper him so much? With the things he did, someone else would have been despised by the Demon Emperor a long time ago. Let me see~ This person looks cynical on the surface, but he has a deep mind~"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean, you want to give Princess Haige to the third prince as a means of promotion?" Sun Dahai perked up and became slightly excited, "I heard that the third prince has been running away from us in recent years. Da Zhao runs very diligently, and I don’t know what he is planning.”

"What the third prince is planning is not something we can pay attention to or get involved in." Sun Yaowu reminded him sternly, "Our emperor supports Prince Xia's Mansion because he wants to set our Prince Xia's Mansion as a benchmark and deliberately set it up for the Immortal Dynasty camp to see. So that the aristocratic families from all over the Immortal Dynasty will know that life will not be bad after joining the Demon Dynasty, but will actually be better off. Our Xia Prince's Palace seems to have unlimited glory, but because it is a surrender, its status is actually very embarrassing. It’s hard to be trusted and reused.”

"The Si family's intention to rebel this time is the best time for our Prince Xia's Palace to make a pledge of surrender. And if we can take this opportunity to curry favor with the third prince, it will allow our Prince Xia's Palace to gain a firm foothold in the Demon Dynasty." Sun Yaowu He talks eloquently and looks scheming.

"The prince is a good strategist! But why don't we try to curry favor with the eldest prince and the second prince?" Sun Dahai was filled with doubts. "In terms of the possibility of ascending to the throne of the Demon Emperor, the third prince is probably not as good as the first two princes even if they are in love with each other. .”

"Absurd! It's precisely because the eldest prince and the second prince have the opportunity to climb to the top that they can't curry favor easily." Sun Yaowu glanced at him speechlessly, with an expression of "How could you be so stupid?" "Our contact with the prince must not be hidden from anyone. . If we are fawning over the eldest prince or the second prince, others will probably think that we want to earn the merit of being a slave to the dragon. What will our Emperor Zhao think then? He will wonder if your Xia Palace is no longer willing to just be a king. Already?"

"The prince's great wisdom has suddenly enlightened me." Sun Dahai suddenly realized, and at the same time, he was filled with admiration in his heart.

The prince is worthy of being the prince, and he is thoughtful.

The two of them spoke in an impudent tone, not taking Princess Haige seriously at all, as if they were already sure of catching the person immediately.

Unexpectedly.

While the two were talking, the armed merchant ship suddenly erupted with powerful energy fluctuations, breaking through the fire blockade of the three-eyed treasure ship and rushing out from the gap.

At this moment, the tattered armed merchant ship burst out with unparalleled speed, rushing all the way, and actually regained the distance in a short time.

The proud look on Sun Yaowu's face suddenly solidified, and his expression suddenly became ugly: "Hurry up and chase!"

After giving the order, the fleet immediately turned around and pursued the armed merchant ship in a fan shape.

The huge Kunwu giant boat followed closely behind, its huge body rolled over the sea, and the overwhelming momentum was like thousands of troops, which made people feel heartbroken.

In comparison, the armed merchant ship could be considered weak, pitiful, and helpless.

After many rounds of fighting, the armed merchant ship had been severely damaged. Although it successfully broke out of the encirclement, its speed was still slowing down.

If there is no turnaround, the armed merchant ship will be overtaken again within two or three hours at most.

And at this moment.

Armed merchant ship.

"Ahem!" Princess Haige's old servant slumped on the deck with a pale face, vomiting blood from his mouth, and looked miserable.

In order to break out of the encirclement just now, he had to use his supernatural powers to resist several attacks from enemy ships, and was seriously injured.

Blood smeared on the deck, scarlet and dazzling.

"Mr. Yang, how are you doing, Mr. Yang?" Princess Haige held his arm, her eyes red with anxiety, and her voice changed tone.

"Princess, this ship can't hold on anymore. Before they catch up, you can abandon the ship and escape. There is still a chance of survival. Ahem!" The old servant coughed up blood, but his consciousness was still clear, and his tone was incomparable. Decisively, "You should leave quickly. The old slaves and Si's dead soldiers will block the pursuers for you."

"No! Let's go together!" Princess Haige's eyes were fierce and her tone was equally firm, "I will never abandon everyone and escape alone."

"Silly boy." The old servant looked anxious, "If you stay, you will only make everyone die in vain."

During the stalemate between the two.

In the direction where the armed merchant ships were escaping, a huge fleet suddenly broke through the fog on the sea and came from the opposite direction.

Due to the fog, the fleet looked a bit hazy and indistinct, but it could still be seen clearly.

Among the fleet, the flagship at the head was huge. Although it looked smaller than Kunwu's giant ship, it seemed to be stockier and thicker.

The most important thing is that the appearance of this flagship is completely different from any other sea-going ship in Mozhao Kingdom!

"This..." The pupils of the old servant surnamed Yang shrank, and then his face instantly turned to ecstasy, "This doesn't look like Zhao's fleet, maybe... we can try to ask them for help!"

Needless to say.

The fleet they saw was the Wang family's ocean-going fleet heading towards the Mo Zhao Kingdom.

now.

Inside the bridge of the ironclad ship.

A group of people, led by Wang Shouzhe, had gathered together.

It is not a coincidence that Wang's fleet appears here. Just imagine, there are Yuanshui Qinglong swimming in the clouds for reconnaissance, and there are dragon whales swarming in the water secretly clearing the way.

In terms of "vision", Wang's is naturally much broader.

Under this situation, since the two sides "encountered" by chance, of course the Wang fleet had other ideas.

"Shouzhe, are you going to take action against the Demonic Zhao Kingdom's fleet?" King Chaoyang frowned slightly, "Will this cause a conflict between the immortal and demonic dynasties? You know, the situation on the battlefield outside the territory is tense now. Once the two sides are in civil war, , it’s easy to turn into a mess.”

"Your Highness, please rest assured. With our strength, it will be easy to capture this fleet." As the commander of the fleet, Long Wuji was full of confidence, as if he didn't take the Kunwu giant ship seriously at all. "Shouzhe's main intention is to have a Kunwu giant boat."

"That's right. The Kunwu giant ship is one of the main battleships of the Demon Dynasty." Wang Shouzhe explained, "Across the Daqian West Sea, the Blood Boy Demon Lord is also stepping up the construction of the Kunwu battleship. Sooner or later, we will have a battle. If we can If we capture a Kunwu giant ship and study it, we can target it better in the future."

In fact, the Wang Research Institute, especially Wang Shouzhe's precious daughter and the director of the research institute, Wang Liyue, has long been clamoring for a Kunwu giant boat.

It's just that the war between immortals and demons has ended thousands of years ago, and the Kunwu giant boat captured by the immortal dynasty in the early years has already been returned to the demon dynasty as a "prisoner exchange".

What Wang Shouzhe could get from the Immortal Dynasty were some broken parts of the Kunwu giant boat.

Those parts are naturally not as valuable for research as a complete Kunwu giant boat.

"His Royal Highness Chaoyang King," Jiang Zhencang said, "Although our Immortal Dynasty needs to exercise some restraint when it comes to matters involving the Demon Dynasty in order to be consistent with the outside world, in fact, recently, it has been the Demon Dynasty that has taken the lead in targeting our Immortal Dynasty's camp. "

"For example, the war between Daqian and the Western Jin Dynasty and Southern Qin provoked by the Blood Boy Demon King, the dispute between the Liang Kingdom and the Mo Yan Kingdom was also the first to intervene in the Mo Dynasty, and there was also the chaos on the Muzhen Continent."

"Now we have the opportunity to mess up the Mo Dynasty and cause some trouble. I think there is no problem. For the sake of the overall situation, we can't just swallow our anger and passively be beaten, right?"

King Chaoyang nodded and said: "What Holy Master Jiang said is reasonable. As long as it doesn't cause too much trouble, a proper demonstration might actually be a good thing. Shouzhe, if you have any plans, just carry them out. I'm just giving you some advice. You don't need to make too much noise." Don't worry about my thoughts. There can only be one decision-maker in a team."

"My daughter Liyue is very interested in the Kunwu giant ship." Wang Shouzhe said, "Looking at the current situation, the fleet is obviously chasing the armed merchant ship. Such a large force was mobilized, and in addition, there were also people on the armed merchant ship. The supernatural power realm escort shows that things are not simple. We can act according to the situation. If it is exposed, the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor will have reasons to argue."

They were just "accidentally" involved, what could be wrong?

"Shouzhe, do you know what I like most about you?" Long Wuji said with a smirk, "It's the way you are both responsible and upright, so shameless."

"My name is [Teacher is famous]!" Wang Shouzhe glared at him.

"Okay, okay, I don't care whether you are a famous warrior or an unknown warrior. Anyway, just give the order, and I promise to take down that fleet." Long Wuji was very excited and had already begun to gear up. "My divine cannon is already hungry. It’s unbearable.”

Just as everyone was talking.

Suddenly.

A female voice came from the dilapidated armed merchant ship ahead.

The strong profound energy easily carried her voice to the ship more than ten miles away: "The little girl is Hai Ge, the contemporary princess of the Si family of Great Xia. She is now being hunted by the traitors of the Sun family of the Prince of Xia. I ask for your help." .Afterwards, Hai Ge will do his best to repay you."

Summer?

Even King Chaoyang was stunned by this name. After thinking about it for a while, he finally remembered: "It's the Xia Kingdom, the former vassal state of the Immortal Dynasty on the Yanhai Continent!"

"A vassal of the Immortal Dynasty? Or a subjugated princess?" Long Wuji's eyes lit up and he laughed loudly, "Shou Zhe, it's your turn to be a hero and save the beauty today."

Wang Shouzhe smiled nonchalantly and said, "It can only be said that it was just a coincidence that someone gave me a pillow when I was dozing off. Now I am a master. As for the opportunity for a hero to save a beauty, I, a married man, can't thank you enough."

"Brother Long, on the other hand, you have not been married so far. You can consider Princess Haige. Last time I heard His Majesty asking me to solve the marriage problem for you."

As soon as this statement came out.

Long Wuji's face turned dark: "Brother Shouzhe, please stop joking. How could I give up the entire forest for a tree? You don't know how hot those girls in Tianji Continent are... Bang!"

Guchi

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by Chaoyang King.

"You bastard!" King Chaoyang scolded, "If you don't give birth to me, how can there be any hope for the human race?"

Isn't this what Wang Shouzhe says all day long? How come even King Chaoyang speaks so smoothly?

Long Wuji covered his head, speechless and choked.

It's a pity that after being beaten by Chaoyang King, even though he felt great grievance in his heart, he could only swallow it in his stomach. There is no way, this man is not only an elder, but also a king who dares to fight even his ancestors!

"Wuji, you've had enough fun, it's really time to get married." Holy Master Jiang added with a smile, "Although she is the princess of a subjugated country, she still has the status of a princess, so she won't humiliate you."

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and their posture was obviously very relaxed.

To be honest, with such a luxurious lineup, even if you want to create a tense atmosphere, it is still possible.

The appearance of Wang's fleet made Prince Xia's fleet suddenly nervous.

"Where did this fleet come from?" On the bow of Kunwu's giant ship, the prince Sun Yaowu looked a little embarrassed. "There is no flag, no sign, and it just appeared so suddenly? Does our Zhao country have such a fleet?"

The most important thing is that this fleet does not look very weak. The flagship is more than thirty feet long, which is only one circle smaller than the Kunwu giant ship.

"Your Majesty, a family that can afford a fleet of this size must be at least a first-class or super-class family." Sun Dahai, the envoy, was also puzzled, "But I have never heard of any family with such a strange fleet."

Yanhai Continent is said to be a continent, but it is surrounded by sea. In reality, it is more like a giant island. Therefore, the navigation industry is also relatively developed, and many powerful families have their own fleets.

"Princess Haige has asked for help. Prince, what should we do?"

"Please persuade them to stay out of their own business." Sun Yaowu ordered with a frown.

He didn't want to cause trouble at such a critical moment, but he was not afraid of causing trouble. After all, from the appearance, the Xia Prince's fleet was superior to the other party.

Immediately, Sun Dahai, who was worshiping Sun Dahai, circulated his profound energy and shouted: "Friends in front, we are the fleet of the Prince of Zhao's Palace and are hunting down family traitors. If you are willing to stand by and watch, our Prince of Xia's Palace will be grateful and will give you a generous gift. If you If you insist on meddling in others' own affairs, don't blame our fleet for being rude."

"A generous gift? What kind of gift?" As soon as he finished speaking, Long Wuji's joking voice came from afar, "We are a fleet from Tianji Continent. If you don't want me to intervene, it's best to let the conditions go. The little girl said that I can set all the conditions, hehehe~"

Long Wuji has never been a stickler for rules. He has a bit of gangsterism in his bones, and is used to acting lawlessly. In addition, he spends most of his time at sea, dealing with all kinds of strange forces, and he lies easily.

"Tianji Continent? No wonder the appearance of these ships looks a bit weird." Sun Yaowu suddenly realized, but then his face darkened, and he whispered in a bad tone, "But a mere Zifu realm dared to take advantage of our Xia Prince's house. . If it weren’t for the special situation at this time, and the most taboo is to create extraneous things, this prince would definitely want him to look good!"

He snorted coldly: "Hai Zongzong, give him 50,000 immortal crystals and tell him to get out."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sun Dahai responded and then said loudly: "My eldest son said that since you are friends from Tianji Continent and there are 50,000 immortal crystals here, we, Prince Xia's Mansion, invite you to tea. Let's all form a good relationship."

"Fifty thousand fairy crystals? Are you sending the beggar away?" Long Wuji curled his lips and his tone sounded extremely unbeatable, "She is a princess, is she worth so much? One price, five million fairy crystals. Just give the money away. Come here, your Lord Long will be kind and let you go."

Five million fairy crystals? ! Let yourself go?

The Crown Prince Sun Yaowu was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and he said angrily with a dark face: "It's so shameless! If you don't show him some color, he really thinks that this Crown Prince is easy to bully. He will use secondary artillery to bombard this Crown Prince. Hit him and drive him away."

There is a famous main gun on this Kunwu giant boat, named [Demon Dragon Ballista].

This is the crystallization of the Demonic Dynasty's weapon refining technology. After being charged, it can shoot a Demonic Dragon Crossbow, which is as powerful as a Lingxu Realm strike.

During the war between immortals and demons, this demonic dragon ballista had quite amazing results.

It's just that this magic dragon ballista requires the use of special crossbow arrows, which are expensive and consume a huge amount of energy. Once fired, the cost alone will cost more than 100,000 fairy crystals.

Moreover, the ballista cannot attack continuously, and each recharge takes a long time.

It's just chasing the princess, so using the main gun is a waste, and naturally it's not charged in advance.

Therefore, even in anger, Sun Yaowu still used only secondary guns with a clear head.

The secondary cannon is a scaled-down version of the Demonic Dragon Ballista. One shot only costs 10,000 fairy crystals, and it has already been pre-charged.

Following his order, the secondary guns on Kunwu's giant boat immediately burst into dazzling light of energy, and a miniature version of the magic dragon crossbow whistled through the air.

In just two breaths, the crossbow arrows approached the flagship of the armored giant ship.

Unexpectedly.

Before the crossbow arrows could hit the giant iron-clad ship, there was a flash of light on the huge ship, and a thick energy shield suddenly appeared in the sky above the giant ship.

With preparations in advance, the armored giant ship's defensive formation was activated in time, and it immediately intercepted the crossbow arrow fired by the Kunwu giant ship's secondary gun.

"boom!"

The crossbow arrow hit the energy shield, and the thick energy shield suddenly trembled like a wave.

Under the influence of the huge counter-shock force, the Demonic Dragon Crossbow shattered at the same time.

The broken crossbow fragments shot out and hit the heavy armor, making loud noises, but they were not able to damage it at all.

"This is a smaller version of the Demon Dragon Crossbow." Inside the bridge ship, Long Wuji recognized the origin of the crossbow at a glance. "This thing is very powerful, equivalent to our Shenwei main gun. But it also has very weak points. Obviously, each shot requires a large amount of spiritual stone charging, and the price is very high!"

"Bomb it. Test the defense capabilities of the Kunwu giant boat." Wang Shouzhe ordered.

"Okay, okay~ It's disrespectful to come back without reciprocating." Long Wuji suddenly became excited and laughed wildly, "Give me the order, aim the main gun of the bow of the Shenwei! Fire!"

Give an order.

The crew immediately took action, and in the blink of an eye, the mighty main gun on the bow of the giant iron-clad ship slowly turned its barrel, then took aim, and a shell suddenly shot out!

"boom!"

Under the huge impact, even the giant iron-clad ship shuddered.

The huge divine cannonballs streaked across the sky like meteors, roaring like thunder and hitting Kunwu's giant boat like lightning.

The Kunwu giant boat also responded quickly, immediately activated the defensive formation and propped up the energy shield.

The Shenwei main cannon failed to penetrate the energy shield, but caused the shield to ripple and twist abnormally.

It has to be said that the Kunwu Giant Boat is indeed the main battleship of the Mo Dynasty, and its overall performance is indeed powerful.

But the armored giant ship also has the strengths of the armored giant ship.

I saw Long Wuji directing the giant iron-clad ship to flick its tail. Huge waves rolled down the ship, and the giant ship turned sideways at an extremely fast speed under the influence of inertia.

The wings were opened, and a total of twenty-four sub-divine cannons stretched out from the black muzzles, revealing their ferocious fangs.

This is the true way of fighting a giant iron-clad ship.

"Aim and fire!"

As Long Wuji gave an exciting order, in the blink of an eye, twenty-four guns fired in unison, and the huge and heavy ship swayed violently under the huge reaction force.

This is also the reason why ironclad ships are used to install naval guns. The hull made of spirit wood is too light in weight and not stable enough. Once multiple divine cannons are fired, the hull will easily shake violently and become unbearable.

The accuracy of the Divine Cannon is not bad, and the gunners are also well-trained.

More than twenty of the twenty-four divine cannonballs hit the Kunwu giant boat.

Boom boom boom!

Those shells hit the energy shield of Kunwu's giant boat, blooming on the shield like a meteor shower, causing the shield to vibrate violently.

Suddenly.

One of the energy supply disks in the formation was overwhelmed and exploded.

The light of Kunwu's giant boat's thick energy shield suddenly dimmed a bit, and even the stability of the shield was weakened a lot.

The huge shock wave also shook Kunwu's giant boat violently.

The main structure of the Kunwu giant boat is still made of spirit wood. Although it is large, its weight is much lighter than that of the iron-clad giant ship in the same volume, and its stability is naturally not as good.

"Bastard, how dare they fight back! And how could their crossbows be so powerful?" Sun Yaowu, the eldest son, was shocked.

He has controlled the Kunwu fleet for many years. Apart from encountering other royal fleets, he has always been unfavorable at sea. Where has he ever suffered such a loss? !

Shocked and embarrassed, he lost his usual calmness and shouted angrily while holding on to the railing: "Counterattack! Full counterattack! The main cannon of the magic dragon will start charging for me immediately!"

But he just finished speaking.

There was another loud "boom", and the Kunwu giant boat seemed to be hit by something, and it shook violently again.

He subconsciously looked closely and saw a huge fat fish head emerging from the sea near the bow of the ship.

The fat fish has a round body, with white mysterious patterns growing on its body. It looks extraordinary. It is Wang Zongkun who suffered a lot of injustice after being scolded.

He shouted loudly and commanded the group of dragon whales to gather near Kunwu's giant boat.

"Dragon whale!?" Sun Yaowu was shocked, "When did so many dragon whales appear? Moreover, this dragon whale looks so strange. Why have I never seen this species before..."

As soon as this statement came out.

Wang Zongkun was immediately so angry that he roared "high and high" again.

You are the Dragon Whale! Your whole family is a dragon whale! Are you blind? This young master obviously looks completely different from Dragon Whale, okay? !

Sisters of Dragon Whale, overturn this broken ship!

Wang Zongkun waved his shark fin, and the huge group of dragon whales that gathered immediately rushed towards Kunwu's giant boat.

at the same time.

There were bursts of dragon roars in the sky.

Rolling dark clouds gathered, and before you knew it, heavy rain started pouring down.

Several huge Yuanshui Qinglong were hovering in the clouds. As the heavy rain fell, the huge Yuanshui Qinglong roared and flew down from the clouds.

In the torrential rain, the scales on their bodies were not as sparkling as usual, but the pressure surrounding them became more majestic, more domineering, and more terrifying.

The leader among them was particularly tough, and he roared in the middle of the charge: "Zong Kun! You kid, don't compete with me for credit!"

…
