Chapter 19: The Man Who "Disappeared".

"All five boats separated?" Clough listened to the report, a little strange. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Our reconnaissance ships can't get too close, we can only see five ships separated one after another, and we can't find out who is on which boat." Lie Yu also had a little headache, and he sensed the existence of the gold-level soldier in the exchange just now, which was also the reason why the other party deliberately released his breath. If the other party can hide, it is difficult to judge which boat to be in.

"It was a good opportunity and we completed the exchange as agreed." "There's no mercy on what happens next," Clough said. "The four island owners are on an island far away from them, and their guards are very weak, and this is a good opportunity to eliminate each other.

"The Admiral said that this time, there is no need to capture him alive." Clough conveyed his brother's order to Lie Yu, signaling that he didn't need to think too much about it, just eliminate the other party.

"Which boat are we chasing?" With Clough there, Lie Yu naturally handed over the decision to the other party.

"Has the showdown begun?" Clough thought to himself, "This is the first question you gave me?" ”

Clough himself brought a total of nearly forty people, and if there was no gold-level soldier to disturb him, he could win the other party, plus the two hundred-man team on Liefa Island, Clough fell into thinking, once he became the owner of the island, he would not go straight like the arena.

Clough looked carefully at the chart, and the directions of the five ships had been marked, and the approximate speed was known, so he could deduce the next voyage.

"From this one, to this one." Clough pointed to the charts and said, "We call them number one through five." ”

"One of them is along the original road, Han Lie came here by the chart we gave, if the direction of the No. 1 ship remains the same, the owner of this position has." Clough pondered for a moment, thinking carefully about how much power his brother had given him and how many people he could mobilize.

"Send a message to Moya, ship No. 1, and hand it over to her." Clough made up his mind, and at the same time added a sentence to the message: "Be sure to find out if there are gold-level soldiers on the other side before you do it." ”

"Ship No. 2 is taking the southwest passage, and the expected sailing path of this ship is far away from our forces, Lieyu." Clough said to Lie Yu beside him, "How about the second ship handed over to your men to pursue?" ”

Lie Yu did not answer, and directly handed over the order to his deputy, and ordered the Second Fleet, three clippers, and fifty soldiers to pursue.

"Remember, first make sure if the Gold-class soldier is in the target ship." Clough reminded.

The third ship is going in the northwest direction, and if it doesn't change its path halfway, it will only get farther and farther away from Guyun Island. But this is the direction to the island of wood, and now that we know that the gold-level soldier is wooden, this path is also the most dangerous. Clough knows this, and luckily there are many islands in the middle to get back from here.

"Order the three island owners in the northwest direction to take strict precautions." A message was quickly transmitted from the signal tower on Liewa Island to the three islands to the northwest.

The remaining ships No. 4 and No. 5 took the southeast direction, which was the route back to the sphere of influence of the goddess Yaffei.

"If the other party really acts separately, it should be Huang Cheng and Fike who take these two paths." Clough thought for a moment and handed over the task of intercepting the other party to the three island owners in the northwest.

"The cards in my hand are over your level." After explaining some specific matters, Clough sat down in his chair and closed his eyes and waited.

Time went back slightly, when Han Lie had completed the exchange and the five boats had separated.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Han Lie said goodbye to the first boat, the boats were all controlled by the elves, as long as they used a little gold, even if there was no one, they could sail according to the predetermined plan.

Speaking of which, in addition to exchanging back the three island owners of Huang Cheng, Fike, and Mu, this exchange also exchanged four resources and a small amount of gold for one thousand each. Han Lie didn't plan to exchange these for this, who would have thought that in addition to capturing the three island masters, the soldiers they brought with them were all wiped out in the battle. After more than a hundred in exchange for three, Han Lie felt panicked, so he asked for some resources on the grounds that these captives had been here for a long time and asked for compensation. The other party thought for a while and agreed, but the exchange location was chosen by the other party.

"We're going to say goodbye next." Han Lie gave three of the remaining four boats to the other party, and only one was left for himself, fortunately they were all medium-sized boats, and Han Lie's group of twelve people carried more than enough.

After the exchange was completed, Huang Cheng and the three of them all expressed their gratitude to Han Lie, and they would definitely return it in the future. It's just that except for Huang Cheng who can talk and laugh with Han Lie, the other two are still a little cold, or not good at words, which is what Han Lie thinks in his heart.

"In short, if you have the opportunity to come to my island, you will definitely be well entertained." The four owners of the island are in a boat and say goodbye to each other.

"Langley, get my fishing rod, it's finally over, and you can relax." After saying goodbye to them, Han Lie was in a particularly good mood, and he was able to live a carefree life again after going back. After the favor is repaid, when the South Bay United Alliance sends a request to him in the future, he will be able to make a decision without interference. Although he joined the South Bay United Alliance, he only joined in his personal capacity, unlike the people of the other three forces, he and the other party were equivalent to a cooperative relationship, and the other party could not force him.

"You're so laid-back." Looking at Han Lie who was fishing, Mu sighed with emotion.

After Mu Zai separated, he quickly abandoned the original ship, followed by Jin Jia, and was carried back to Han Lie's ship by Jin Jia.

"Don't you know that you're in great danger right now?" Mu looked at Han Lie's leisurely expression and was very puzzled. According to his own gold-level soldier, Jin Jia said, the other party did not have more arrangements.

"Dangerous?" Han Lie was a little puzzled.

Looking at Han Lie's confused face, a thought flashed through Mu's heart, "Shouldn't this guy really know that Crane's pursuers are about to arrive?" ”

Mu was silent for a while, and patiently explained to Han Lie Street where the danger was.

"There will be pursuers on the other side!" Mu Xin's heart was almost sunny, the other party looked relaxed, and thought that he had some secret weapon, and he really didn't expect that there would be chasing soldiers for a long time, so he was so leisurely. No, he should be prepared, right?

Mu looked at Han Lie after being surprised, he should be fishing, and he didn't show any nervousness.

"You can let Jin Jia take you back first." Mu suggested that Jin Jia's speed was much faster than that of the ship, and that he would be able to return to Guyun Island at night if he had sufficient supplies.

Han Lie didn't think about it, so he rejected Mu's proposal, and instead suggested that Mu hurry back with Jin Jia to avoid accidents.

"You already have a solution, right?" Seeing that Han Lie was so calm, Mu was a little uncertain, he heard the surprised reaction of the pursuers just now, it didn't look like he was pretending?

"I'll go back when I send you back to Guyun Island." He has been captive for so long, and there must be a lot of things to deal with on his island, and before that, Mu must ensure that Han Lie, who saved his life, returns safely, otherwise he will not be able to feel at ease.

"That, if you go with you, it's okay, but there may be some danger." Han Lie didn't hesitate much, and when he saw that the other party insisted on sending him, mainly to let Jin Jia send him, he agreed, and said, "We don't plan to go back directly, there is a place to go." ”

Lieyu Island.

Clough sat in a chair, right in the signal tower, and knew as soon as there was news.

The first report of "Dudu" was to track the No. 3 boat, and the three island owners in that direction quickly formed an interception team after receiving the order, and when the ship passed through their defense area, they repeatedly confirmed that there was no one inside!

"Empty?" Clough took down the emblem of the third ship, and Lie Yu on the side said his conjecture.

"Will the other party abandon ship? After all, the target of the ship is too big, and our current forces have not yet reached the point where they can monitor the entire sea area. If the other party walks on foot from the sea, the speed will be much slower, and the safety will be much improved. "Lie Yu had this idea at the beginning, this is considering that the other party has taken away a batch of resources, and he should not abandon the ship. Now it seems that the resources that were requested were not necessarily used to paralyze.

"Dudu" Lie Yu read the latest information and told Clough that the fourth and fifth ships were also empty.

"So, they're on ship number one or ship two?" Clough couldn't sit still, if the other party really abandoned the ship, it would really be a needle in a haystack.

It didn't take long. Another piece of information was sent, the second boat, again there was no one there.

At this time, Lie Yu had already decided that the other party was not on the ship, and with his current strength, it was not easy to block people.

"It's not over yet, there's one last boat." Clough had a gut feeling that someone must be on the last boat, and someone he was looking for!

The message of the last boat, the number one ship, was not replied to for a long time.

"Sister Moya, the sea is calm, and there is no sign of any ships." Moya stood in the signal tower, listening to the report from her subordinates, and wondered in her heart, even if there was no one on that boat, it was time to arrive?

"Did the other party stop?" Moya thought of this possibility, and received a message from Clough at this time, which also reminded Moya whether the other party would stop halfway.

"Follow the route to reconnoitre." Moya made a decision, although she said that as long as the other party took this route, she would definitely pass through here, but if she stopped halfway, she would not wait.

"The original place is on increased vigilance so that the other side does not take advantage of the loopholes." Moya has no need for war at present, and there are more soldiers who can be mobilized, and she can barely control the sea area close to her.

After a long time, Clough waited for a message from Moya.

"Found the other party's ship, it did stop, and there was still a batch of resources on board, but there was no one!"
