Fran stared at the island on the chart, Allen's finger, calculated the distance between the two islands, frowned slightly and said: "Lord Viscount! According to the location on the chart, the distance between the two islands of Snake Dance Island and Heran Island is more than the distance between Herlan Island and Mu Sen Ling, and it is likely to take four or five days to reach this island, that is to say, it may take ten days to go back and forth, I think material supply is a big problem!"

Alan smiled faintly and said, "Captain Fran, don't worry, I have asked Steward Sva to prepare twenty days of supplies for the fleet in advance, and there are currently nine ships in the fleet, which should be able to be loaded."

At the same time, for the safety of you and the crew, I will send 200 soldiers of the Heisang Village Escort Team to go with you!"

After hearing this, Fran was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, but he didn't expect that Lord Viscount had already prepared.

"By the way, this chart is a long time ago, and it is impossible to verify whether it is accurate or not, in case you don't find Snake Dance Island within ten days, then just give up and return with the fleet! In my opinion, your fleet is much more important than that Snake Dance Island!" Alan said solemnly.

"Yes, Lord Viscount! Fran will return safely with the fleet!" said Captain Fran solemnly, with a slight touch in his heart.

"Well, you go down first! When you return to the port of Heran, someone there will hand over to you, and hand over the supplies and two hundred guards to you!"

"Yes!" Fran took a replica chart from Bard's hand and turned and walked out of the hall.

After Franc left, Alan looked at the other three highlighted islands on the chart, and his heart was full of anticipation.

In addition to Snake Dance Island, these three islands are actually within Allen's exploration plan, but this has to be done little by little, just one Snake Dance Island may be enough for Allen to explore for a while, and if you add development, it will take even longer!

If Snake Dance Island can really be found, then Alan may not have the idea of fighting the other three islands in the short term.

Later, Alan asked Bud to summon Abis.

"Lord Viscount!" Abyss walked in a short time later.

"Sit down, sit down!" Alan said slowly.

"Lord Viscount Xie!"

Abyss found a place closer to Alan and sat down.

"Let you keep an eye on the caravan from Heilan City, how is the situation now?"

"My lord, the number of caravans from Heilan City has more than doubled inexplicably, and now these caravans are wandering around several large villages and Giant Rat City, although they are ostensibly conducting normal transactions, but I think that a large part of these people are secretly coming to listen to the information of Giant Rat City, and Heilan City should have already begun to investigate us! And with the current number of members of the Shadow Section, it is difficult to track and monitor them one by one. ”

Abis said.

After hearing this, Alan straightened up, a little distressed, the Giant Rat City is not Mu Senling, Allen has occupied the Giant Rat City for a short time, and the nine places have just been established, and the household registration office has not had time to compile a register of the people of the Giant Rat City, so the prevention of spies is very weak, and it is difficult to find out once someone lurks in.

"Let's wait a minute, I will announce to the outside world that the Giant Rat City is about to have a war with the Green Rat Tribe, and the Giant Rat City area will be under full martial law, during this period, for the safety of the Black Orchid City caravan, they will be sent back, and at the same time, before the war is over, the Black Lan City caravan will not be allowed to enter the Giant Rat City area!" Alan said after meditating.

Although this is only a palliative treatment, at least during the war period, it will be difficult for the tentacles of Heilan City to reach the giant rat city through the caravan, and during this period, Allen will urge the household registration office to speed up the progress of compiling the civil register, and strive to complete this important measure before the end of the war.

Abyss nodded, feeling that Allen's plan was feasible.

"How's it going to be in the area of Black Lan City and the area of Giant Wood City, how many people have managed to infiltrate and settle down?"

"Lord Viscount, the twenty Shadows who went to the two places to establish a stronghold this time have all successfully lurked, and three of them have successfully opened up the situation and established a stronghold, and are already preparing to secretly absorb the outer members!" Abys said with a smile.

"Okay, let them be careful when recruiting members, don't show their feet, Mu Sen will fully support them!" Allen nodded.

——

Two days later, in the morning, in a port on the east side of the island of Heran, nine huge ships were listening outside the port of Heran, and Franc was now standing on the splint of a ship, and today was the day when Franc received Allen's order to go to the island of Snake Dance.

Nine giant ships make up this exploration fleet.

These big ships were all brought by Alan from the Blue Water last time, and they were all sea ships that the Jackals were on.

With a carrying capacity of more than 200 tons, a length of about 40 meters, and a width of 14 meters at its widest, these seagoing vessels were steered by rudders on the stern pillars, and were a kind of brigs, with huge sails in the shape of a quadrangular on the first mast and a triangular canvas on the second, with a high bow and stern carved with magnificent patterns, and a thick keel and shell that allowed him to sail freely in the sea.

With the whistle of Captain Fran, the nine large ships slowly left the harbor and sailed into the depths of the sea.

The deep blue water, over and over again, is not afraid of hard slapping on the boat, the blue ocean and the blue sky are one, the whole world seems to be dyed blue, until a touch of morning light shoots out from the end of the ocean, only to add a beautiful color to the blue world.

After the sailor Cole finished washing the plywood, he hurriedly leaned on the railing, took advantage of the boatswain's absence, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and was slowly attracted by the scene in front of him!

Cole is eighteen years old this year, from a small village in the woods, because he began to fish in the river with his father at the age of five, and over the years he has developed extraordinary water skills, so he was chosen by Captain Fran and became a sailor with honor.

Due to the large monthly wages (wages) paid by the fleet, after he became a sailor, the family gradually became more prosperous, the original two earthen houses have been demolished, and several large stone and brick houses are ready to be built, and his mother also said that when she has saved enough money, she will marry him a daughter-in-law, when he thinks of this, Cole can't help but blush!

"Cole, what are you doing! Is the deck clean?"

Suddenly, a shout exploded in Cole's ear, causing Cole to shudder.

"Boatswain!" Cole exclaimed.

"Boatswain! I'm sorry! the deck has been washed, I'll wash it again!" said Cole, looking down and trembling.

"Hmph, don't give me a job yet, I don't think you want a ship's salary!" said Boatswain Armor sternly.
