"Because he was discovered by the navy, he didn't have time to find Baikal. Shaking his head with some pity, Lelouch was somewhat disappointed in his tone.

At this time, everyone had already returned to the Black Flag, after all, it had alarmed the navy on the island, and in order to avoid a greater conflict, Helian Feng and his gang chose the usual retreat tactics.

"Well~well~ Haven't you already speculated a lot of things~ Don't care~ Relax~~" With his hands behind his head, Helian Feng lay on his back on the back of the chair, his feet on the conference table, shaking and shaking, looking extremely relaxed.

"Also, why do you think that the one named Baikal would know about the island called Basr?" Lying on the table, Edward looked at Lelouch with a suspicious expression.

"Because of the irregularity of naval activities......" Lelouch glanced at Edward, and that look made Edward very angry. However, for the sake of his curiosity, he finally came down and didn't rush up on the spot and punch Lelouch in the face.

"According to the information obtained, the navy that has just arrived on the island, the 43rd detachment led by the Great Zomunch D. Dorag, is not in this island, and the garrison on this island has its own ......",

"Uh-huh...... I see...... "Listening to Lelouxiu's explanation, Fa Xiu touched his chin while he was shopping, and nodded knowingly.

"Don't talk as if you understand it very well!" Edward gave an elbow blow to Fa Xiu beside him with a black line, and immediately told Fa Xiu to shut up.

Sighing softly, Lelouch shook his head.

"The Baikal research institute that was destroyed before is already the border of Dorag's sphere of influence, but after the other party took Baikal into custody, he did not go back, but went straight to this side, I am afraid that he got something terrible from Baikal. ”

Analyze it this way...... It really makes sense......" Kenshin smiled slightly, agreeing with Lelouxiu's opinion.

"But it's also possible that these are all coincidences, maybe people just came here to have a meal or a drink with their colleagues here?" Fa Xiu shrugged his shoulders and continued to look aware.

"While this is a possibility, not all navies are as idle as you are...... And with one of the most elite troops under his command. Glancing at Fa Xiu coldly, this possibility Lu Lu Xiu had obviously considered, but as Lu Lu Xiu said, with one of his most elite teams, Dorag's purpose was obviously not to go to the neighbor's house for a drink, and the other party's march route was not a black flag to track, but to come directly to this island, Lu Lu Xiu had a feeling that the other party's purpose was ...... Most likely, it's the same island of Basjl!

"If the other party is really here for the small island of Basr, if we don't avoid it, then the small island of Basr will become a big melee between the three parties in the end! Many things have to be replanned......" Looking at Helian Feng who had been sitting there, Lelouch said this at this time, which was the last persuasion to Helian Feng.

"Well~~It's okay~~ Anyway, I can't guess anything now, when the time comes, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it, and act when the opportunity comes~ Act when the opportunity comes. Facing Helian Feng's hearty smile, Lelouch silently turned his head away.

Helian Feng did not intend to change his plan of action, so Lelouch's job was to improve as many retreat plans as possible before reaching the small island of Basr to ensure the highest safety factor.

On the deck, Huang Quan and the two ceremonies leaned against the guardrail next to the ship, looking at the sky a little bored.

"What are you thinking?" Glancing at Shishi, Huang Quan suddenly became a little curious, this girl who likes to speak in a male tone is always immersed in her own world most of the time, not knowing what she is thinking.

Sometimes I can hear some of the past from Helian, the same people who have experienced death, and the same loneliness. It's just that I'm isolated because of something, and this girl named Two Rituals is herself refusing to communicate with others.

"Huh?" Coming back to his senses, Shi glanced at Huang Quan, then shook his head.

"It's nothing, it's just that all of a sudden I'm curious, what are we looking for, what is the way to go back, and what about that world when we go back?" sighed lightly, and was actually a little sentimental.

Leaning against the guardrail, he looked up at the seabirds flying in the sky, his eyes a little confused.

"What about when we go back? What is our life here? Nan Ke is dreaming?" he muttered.

And Huang Quan's face also changed.

She also thought about it, but she had long forgotten when she was thinking about it, and as she lived here for more and more time, she forgot more and more about these things, not so much forgetting, but Huangquan itself resisting.

Resisting leaving...... Resisting to return to that lonely world......

"Na~Huangquan...... You're scared......" Turning his head to look at Huang Quan, the two ceremonies said calmly.

"......" was silent.

"Huh......" and then chuckled.

"yes, scared...... At first, I got on the thief ship on the grounds of going back, but now I am afraid of going back...... Man, what a fickle animal...... What do you say......"

He glanced at Huang Quan deeply and nodded slowly.

Not only Huangquan, but also the formula itself is fearful......

If it was before, it would have been ridiculous, but now...... This fear...... This kind of love that she thought would not appear in her life actually appeared......

"Hmm, that's ......" suddenly raised his eyebrows, Huang Quan looked into the distance, then turned around, and jumped up along the mast in a few jumps, his long black hair fluttering like silk in the sea breeze.

"That's it...... Where is it......" muttered, but in the distance, there was a lush island, especially the highest mountain on the island, as if a sharp sword had been stuck in the island.

The small island of Basr is close at hand.

Shi looked at Huang Quan, who was standing at the top of the mast, and muttered, "The longer I stay on the ship, the less I will look like me before...... Isayama Yellow Spring, your changes...... Is that what I think of in the future......"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Some distance behind the Black Flag.

A naval warship was also at full speed, breaking the waves in the direction of the small island of Basir.

Holding his arms in his arms, Dorag stuck straight into the bow of the ship like a javelin, and a pair of extremely sharp eyes looked fixedly into the distance.

"Fortunately, Senior Benny, you rushed over in time, otherwise with the combat strength of my subordinates, it would be a bit passive. After a long moment, Dorag let out a sigh and looked behind him at the man who was lying on his back on the deck sun lounger.

"Even if I join, it won't change our disadvantage in combat power, but with my understanding of the Black Flag, it is not very likely that they will partner with the Golden Lion......" shrugged his shoulders, and it was General Benny who had just arrived before.

"About the things on that island...... What clues do you have? The message I was given to the headquarters was just to assist you...... I heard that the headquarters prefers the Warring States to deal with it, but unfortunately the incident happened suddenly, and the Warring States did not have enough time to rush over. Holding the cup to the sun, Benny inquired about Dorag as he admired the light reflected by the cup.

"It's the technical ......" looked back at the ocean, and Dorag didn't hide anything from Benny.

"Technology?"

"The technology that the government has not succeeded in excavating for ten years seems to be a technology that is much ahead of modern times, and the most basic theoretical basis of Baikal's practice is also derived from that ruin. ”

"That's really ...... Something dangerous......" Narrowing his eyes, Benny realized for a moment the importance of the ruin.

Especially for the Golden Lion, an ambitious pirate!

If it falls into the hands of the Golden Lion, then the consequences are unimaginable!

"The order given from above is that once the ruins are re-excavated, it is difficult to destroy the entire ruins at any cost...... Benny Senpai...... What do you think of this order?" With a smile on his lips, Dorag said the order given to him by headquarters.

"......" Benny didn't speak, closing his eyes and resting.

"For the secrets of the ruins...... The Ministry's requirement is to destroy it once it is excavated, not if it can no longer be protected...... Headquarters...... It seems that even you and I are not at ease......" Dorag said with a smile, and an inexplicable look flashed in his majestic eyes.

"......" frowned slightly, but Benny still didn't speak......

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The small island of Basjel

On the highest peak, there are clouds and smoke all around, and there is only less than 10 square meters of open space, and the surrounding cliffs are like knives.

In the sea of clouds, a tall figure stood there.

"Hahahahaha! Pretty good weather!!" The signature laughter, the golden lion wrapped his arms around his chest, and the two famous knives of [Sakura Ten] and [Deadwood] on his waist also seemed to sense the owner's excitement, and the irrepressible evil aura continued to leak out of the scabbard.

"How's the preparation going over there?" Glancing contentedly at the setting sun as it gradually receded into the sea, the golden lion shouted down the cliff.

"Woo woo woo woo!!" A rope was tied around his waist, and Indigo, who didn't know what he was doing on the cliff, hurriedly gestured to indicate OK!

"Hmm!" nodded with satisfaction, and the golden lion simply sat cross-legged on the ground, reached out to take the wine jar on the side, and raised his head to take a sip!

"Hahaha!! the banquet has been prepared......! Merely...... This guest ...... Don't let me down......"
