Qianmo Port is located in the northern part of the Moya Continent, within the territory of the Free Federation. Over the centuries, Qianmo Port has developed from a small fishing village to an important port of the Free Federation. It has more than 500 sea routes to the entire continent and can accommodate thousands of sea vessels and river vessels to dock here at the same time. Every day, many ships coming and going from all parts of the mainland come and go here in an orderly manner, and the sound of wind, horns, shouts, and shouts fills all corners of the wharf all the time, making the whole wharf noisy and noisy, full of lively and prosperous atmosphere.

At this time, a huge fleet of more than ten huge merchant ships loaded with all kinds of goods, plus seven or eight escort ships, was docked at the wharf of Qianmo Port. These merchant ships are about 100 meters long, as tall as buildings, and their towering masts are hung with colorful flags embroidered with the emblems of the major Moya chambers of commerce. The surrounding escort ships also flew flags, but the pattern was replaced by a red lion's head. Most of the people who make a living at the docks have a lot of family symbols. For example, the flower represents the Violet Chamber of Commerce, the Libra represents the Kim Chamber of Commerce, the horse represents the Phuket Chamber of Commerce, and the lion head represents the Red Lion Mercenary Group.

These merchant ships were produced in Tyran, the famous shipbuilding capital of Rus's country, so they were also called Thai ships. The Thai ship was tall at bow and stern, and was equipped with a rigid ramming device with guards on both sides. The ship is divided into four floors, the ground and second floors are filled with coal, daily necessities, spices, pottery, ironware, textiles and grain, and the third floor is the protection and control area, where sailors and escorts are stationed, and the upper floor is the residential area. This type of merchant ship can be used for both military and civilian purposes, and the load can reach 1,000 tons. Of course, the cost is also extremely expensive, and only those powerful families can afford to order.

Gid stood on the deck of a huge ship, his eyes nimble and shrewd, but his face was visibly blue and white with a lack of energy. He is the head of the Autumn Moon Chamber of Commerce in the Free Commonwealth and has more than two decades of trade experience. This time, he inquired about the surprising shortage of various combat materials in the Northern Demon Plain, and someone inside had already released the news, if anyone could deliver the goods, not only would they buy it at a high price, but they could also exchange it for a lot of rare items. He prepared a lot of weapons and equipment for this purpose, and if nothing else, the return of this batch of goods was definitely very rich, enough for him to be appreciated and promoted by the family behind him.

"Thanks to Boss Ji's help this time, I'm really causing you trouble!" Next to Gide, an honest young man smiled and thanked him.

"Where! It's an honor under that. If there is anything that is not well greeted, I hope you will bear with me! Gid smiled and hypocritically politely, but his eyes rolled and he wished that the other man would leave his ship at once.

The Autumn Moon Chamber of Commerce is a well-known large chamber of commerce in the Rus' Empire, belonging to the Habs family. Usually, the merchant ships of the Autumn Moon Chamber of Commerce will dock at Qianmo Port a month in advance to load and unload goods, so as not to delay the trip. Just half a month ago, a group of guys claiming to be Prince Sauron's guards said that they would use his boat to escort a group of prisoners. He saw that the other party's price was very reasonable, and it was on the territory of the Free Federation, so he agreed.

The cabins of the Thai ships are large and comfortable, and the number of people on a single ship can reach 3,000 people, and some people are still more than rich.

But when the prisoners boarded the ship today, Gid found something strange - the prisoners were hundreds of half-grown children, the eldest was fifteen or sixteen years old, the youngest was only seven or eight years old, but there were as many as three hundred escorts. Moreover, these people are sturdy and have a calm temperament, and they are not ordinary soldiers at first glance. What kind of prisoners are these children? Need to use so many people to escort? He had never seen such a peculiar combination of prisoner and escort before.

"How weird? Could it be that these children are all playthings given to some people on the island? "Gide traveled from north to south, and saw all kinds of strange people and things, and of course knew the perverted habits of some rich people, and saw that these children were all born with red lips and white teeth, and beautiful eyebrows, and two of them seemed to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and they were the best in the world, but they did not know which family of prisoners these children came from, and they were reduced to child slavery, so ill-fated.

"Hey, what a sin!" Gid shook his head, a cry of regret in his heart. However, if the escort didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to inquire about the origin of these prisoners. He just ordered his subordinates to take these people to the second floor and place them in the temporarily cleared cargo hold. In this era, the life of ordinary people is not easy, not to mention some guilty children, the end can be imagined.

The leader of the guard, Lorraine, was obviously thinking differently from Gide's, and his gaze swept over the escorts from time to time, looking a little nervous.

"The wind direction is the most stable this season, and in ten days, we will be able to reach the Northern Demon Plains and earn a lot of gold coins, the great Lorraine Commander, don't you say?" Back in the third-floor lounge, Gide poured himself and Lorraine a glass of wine from the Gulf of Assyria, then sat down in a comfortable chaise longue and asked relaxedly.

Lorraine didn't answer, but took a sip of red wine, looking thoughtful.

"Is there something wrong?" Gide asked, not quite understanding why Lorraine's demeanor seemed a little nervous.

Gid has worked with the Red Lion Mercenaries for many years and knows Lorraine's strength very well. As the leader of the Red Lion Regiment, Lorraine retired from the only elite army of the Rus' army, the Great Red Division, he has a steady personality, well-trained, and good tactical literacy, and is a rare talent in Gide's eyes! It is precisely by relying on Lorraine's steady command and dispatch that the ocean-going fleet of the Qiuyue Chamber of Commerce has always been in danger and has developed very smoothly!

"These people are dangerous!" Lorraine's expression was a little gloomy.

"Of course I can see that. But as long as they don't cause trouble, we just turn a blind eye! I think you're a little too careful, aren't you? Gidde said jokingly. He trusted Lorraine's judgment, but in his opinion, although these people were extremely dangerous, they would not make Lorraine so worried and uneasy, after all, there were many masters of the Red Lion Regiment, and for so many years, they had never met anyone they couldn't deal with.

"There are at least more than 100 commander-level warriors in their ranks, we can't afford to mess with them!" Lorraine knew that Gide didn't take these people to heart, so she spoke her own judgment.

"100 Commanders! Are you telling the truth? Gid jumped up from his recliner at once, and even his cunning man was shocked by the news. He didn't know exactly what kind of strength 100 commander-level warriors represented. But even the famous Red Lion Regiment only has 40 commander-level samurai. One can imagine how surprised Gid would have been when he learned that there were more than 100 commander-level warriors in this group.

An old man like him knows in his heart that soldiers pay attention to tactical coordination and are not afraid of death, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of ordinary samurai of the same level. The combined combat power of these 100 commander-level soldiers is probably enough to compete with a divisional commander-level samurai.

"And—" Seeing Gide's ugly face, Lorraine was a little reluctant to speak.

"And what? Oh, if you have something to say, hurry up! Gid was calm in his heart, but seeing Lorraine's hesitation, he couldn't help but urge loudly. He just wanted to make sure who the other party was. What is the intent? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have enough people to see this boat.

"Do you see the longbows those men are carrying?" Lorraine had a very serious expression on her face.

"Longbow? What's wrong with the longbow? Gidde asked with some confusion as he stroked his chest, vaguely remembering that some of them were carrying longbows.

"The problem is in the bowstring!" Lorraine poured down a sip of red wine and explained in a deep voice: "The longbows used by ordinary warriors are generally single-stringed or double-stringed, while those with three-strings and even four-strings are special strong bows, which can only be used by people with extremely strong arms. There was a deputy commander in our division who was known for his good marksmanship, and he had a four-stringed bow in his hand. ”

"You're talking about that Feiling Master Shuai Wang You, right? But what does he have to do with it? "Gide was a little baffled.

"Of course he has nothing to do with these people!" Lorraine looked at Gide, his eyes revealing deep jealousy, "But I found that the longbows that the other party was carrying behind were all four-stringed bows!" ”

Gide's heart tightened, his face turned a little pale, and he had a faint premonition that he might be in big trouble!

Lorraine ignored Gide's expression at this time, but withdrew his gaze, staring closely at the bewitching red in the wine glass and was silent, as if remembering something.

After a moment, he said affirmatively: "This bowstring, which is black when you look at it casually, is dark blue when you look closely under the lamp, and has a saw spike on the surface, which can be used for hand-to-hand combat—it is said that this is an extremely precious string tendon material, called the sea dragon tendon, which is made of the back tendon of a sea beast called the dragon whale. But these sea beasts are lazy, and they usually only move around a fixed area of sea—"

"Huh? How can it be so quiet in the lounge! After Lorraine said what she had just said, she took a sip of the red wine in her glass, and suddenly found that the lounge had become extremely silent! He couldn't help but look up, only to find Gid looking at him with a pale face.

"It's actually a sea dragon tendon! Could it be those guys from the Bangbang Plateau? Oh, my God! "Gid's face is as dead as ashes!

The fleet had left the dock and sailed smoothly, but what would be hidden behind that silent calm?
