On May 28, 1171 A.D., a fleet of five North Island warships set out from the west coast of the twilight, and after a two-day and two-night voyage, approached an island called Nepper in the northern archipelago.

The flotilla slowly approached the island in a fog, and the bottom of two ships was damaged by the reef due to strong winds and waves, coupled with extremely low visibility. As a result of these unexpected circumstances, the fleet had to abandon the original landing site and instead dock and camp on the nearest beach.

Huggins' "Successor" team and Edgar first disembarked for a vigilant patrol, and after confirming the safety of the perimeter, the entire fleet began to go ashore in batches.

By the time Todd disembarked from the ship with the map, the campfire had already been lit and the entourage began to boil fish and vegetable soup in a cauldron for breakfast for all the crew members.

Todd looked at the busy people around him, and recalled that a week ago, the entire town of Twilight was still making final preparations for this voyage, and the headquarters of the Knights held several meetings to conduct strategic discussions on the North Island and work arrangements in the town. After several rounds of deliberations, Huggins led the "Successor" squad as the main force to explore the North Island, Cumberland took over the command and continued to attack the kingdom's nobles and expand the territory of the Knights, and Alfonso took charge of the defense of the town and moved his troops eastward.

As for the civil administration, Rachel was in charge of the construction of the biochemical plant and the production of the products, Queen Mary was in charge of the use and management of the Holy Treasury and the Society, Dion the Knight was in charge of the Tribunal of the Holy Order, and Monk Joe was in charge of the planning and expansion of the town of Twilight.

However, at the Assembly of the Order, there was a figure whose work caused controversy. This man is the chief of the Knights, Todd.

In Todd's opinion, the development of Twilight Town is on the right track, and staying in the town will not only not help much, but may also make others constrained. In this case, he proposed to join the exploration team to the North Island.

This proposal was unanimously rejected by the Order. In their opinion, as the chief head of the Knights, how could he be in danger?

After Todd repeatedly emphasized the importance of the North Island trip to the development of Twilight, and tried to persuade others to support him. The Knights finally decided to change their original plan and upgrade the original North Island Exploration Team to an expeditionary force.

The original team of 85 men in two ships was expanded to five ships with a total of 220 men. The team includes guides, armies, craftsmen, monks, and more.

In terms of xenomorph equipment, in addition to Huggins's "Successor" team, the expeditionary force also brought xenos from the underwater attack system and xenomorphs from the reconnaissance system. In addition, Todd equipped himself and the other "heirs" with abilities suitable for North Island combat, such as regeneration, underwater breathing, and so on.

In terms of guides, among the captives in Cumberland, some pirates who were willing to convert to the Sect of the Heavenly Father formed a small team and acted as guides for the expeditionary force.

So, in this way, the North Island Expeditionary Force in Twilight Town was officially established and set sail to sea.

Todd retracted his thoughts, looked at a young pirate beside him, and asked, "Lev, how far is it from here?"

The young man known as Lev, whose legs were still slightly lame when he walked, looked at the terrain around him and said respectfully to Todd, "My lord, there is still a two-hour boat ride from the main island of Talon. The island beneath our feet is called Neper, and it used to be the lair of the Blackskull tribe......"

"The Blackskull tribe, the one with the berserker?"

Hearing this, Lev hurriedly nodded and replied, "That's right, for a long time, although the 'Black Skull' tribe was small, it had a small group of 'berserkers' that were invincible. Therefore, they have never fallen behind in the struggle between the pirate clans. Later, as the number of berserkers became smaller and smaller, and their patriarch disappeared in the southward operation, the "Blackhead" tribe has been in a state of collapse since then, and has been suppressed by the "Talon" tribe for a long time. ”

Todd listened to the introduction as he walked through the camp and towards the high reaches of the island.

As he walked, he was also thinking about this other world that he had crossed over.

Judging from the current situation, the era of the entire other world is stuck in the Middle Ages, and the whole is mainly divided into five major forces.

They are the pirates in the northwest, the barbarians in the north, the Church of the Father in the central and western regions, the Most Orthodox Church in the central and eastern regions, and finally the pagans who believe in Allah in the south.

Judging from the classification and characteristics, these five major forces happened to be able to find corresponding religious objects and regional countries in the historical territory and political pattern of the previous life.

These similarities between the other world and the past life.

Is it a coincidence?

Or is there some deeper reason?

Todd doesn't have a clue right now.

"Stop, Outlander!" (Northland)

A loud shout interrupted the thinking of the chief regiment commander.

A warrior with centipede scars on his face stepped out of the fog and looked at Todd warily.

The latter looked around, and realized that he had been thinking too much about it, and before he knew it, he had moved away from the camp and walked to a high ground about a kilometer from the beach.

Lev, who had been following Todd, saw the visitor's face, swallowed, stood in front of him, and said to the scarred man, "Morgan, watch your words! offending this guest will bring ruin to your tribe!"

Morgan drew his axe from his waist and pointed it at Lev, his eyebrows furious and spitting: "Outlanders are not welcome here, and claws are not welcome here! Get out of this island!" (Northland)

After the man said this, he pointed the axe blade at Todd again, and shouted in the half-baked continental lingua franca: "Stranger, you are not welcome in the North Island!"

At this moment, a large hand wrapped in steel reached out from Morgan's back and grabbed the iron axe in his hand. With a grinding sound of tooth aching, the Iron Hand left a clearly visible handprint on the surface of the iron axe.

A knight who had hidden his whole body under armor, with a strong young man two meters tall, emerged from the mist. The eyes behind the helmet reflected the frightened appearance of the pirate in front of him, and the knight snatched the iron axe from the pirate's hand and wrenched it into the shape of an "L" with both hands.

Todd looked at little Jerry as if he was "an eagle catching a chicken", lifted Morgan with one hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be too embarrassed for him, I changed my mind, I want to talk to the 'Blackhead' tribe, but first teach these people what politeness is?"

Half an hour later, a wooden pillar was erected in the camp of the Knights of the Twilight, and Morgan was stripped naked and tied to the pillar.

The soles of his feet were coated with salt, and two goats stood at his feet, one on the left and one on the right, sticking out their long tongues and licking the soles of the pirate's feet.

Accompanied by hysterical laughter, a clear and loud scream was heard throughout the island.

"Outlander, I know it's wrong! Welcome to the North Island!"
