At dawn, the sea train stopped at the town of Prang station.

Although the sea train has been developed for many years, it only began to enter the stage of public operation last year, and the route and transportation range are quite limited, and this town, which is more than 300 kilometers away from the water capital, is the extreme eastern point that can be reached along the tracks.

The island of Earle, where the 78th branch is located, is still hundreds of kilometers away from here, and you need to change trains at the station and take a merchant ship instead.

The station is open-air, and the cold wind blows, making it look more and more empty and deserted.

Colonel Heiko got off the train in a trance, looked at the sky blankly for a while, and then looked blankly at Vito and the others smiling and waving goodbye to the driver, watching the U-turn sea train, and embarking on the return journey to the water capital.

Everything that happened last night was like a dream, and Heiko didn't even feel like he had woken up yet, otherwise why would he always feel that the five crows on the tree opposite the station sign had been staring at him?

It was five large black ravens, carved out of a template, and Heck walked to the left, and the five crows followed slowly to the left of the branch, and to the right, and the crows followed in unison......

There was no dumb scream from beginning to end, and the black and slippery eyes didn't blink.

The silent picture is full of weirdness.

"Hell yes."

He was hesitating to draw his gun to drive away the crows, when footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, but it was Vito and the others who saw off the driver, crossed his position and left the station, and walked straight to the dock at the other end of the town.

Heiko hurriedly followed.

He knew that his current identity was no different from that of half a captive, and he was very conscious all the way, and hung his head at the end with low eyebrows.

But when they were about to arrive at the dock, Vito and the others in front suddenly stopped their pace, separated to both sides, and let him go to the front.

"Lord Vito?"

Heiko was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he raised his head in confusion, he suddenly heard a warm greeting from a distance:

"Colonel! Colonel Heiko, this way, this way! Heck, I've been waiting here for a long time, and you're finally here! ”

Heiko followed the prestige and found a tall, thin middle-aged man in plain clothes on the shore of the harbor, smiling and waving to him, striding towards him.

I don't know.

No matter how he racked his brains to think about it, Heiko couldn't find the face corresponding to the middle-aged man in his memory, but the other party accurately called out his identity, could it be someone from the 78th branch base?

As if to see his doubts, Vito, who was behind him, chuckled:

"Don't think too much about it, Mr. Colonel, this is the merchant ship steward I sent my subordinates to contact last night, and it happens to be from the merchant family on Earle Island, and they have stayed here for an extra day in order to take you to the 78th branch base along the way."

"Oh, oh."

Heke came to his senses, and without leaving a trace, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at Vito, who was already standing behind him silently with his head bowed as if he were all right, as if it were really the subordinate he had brought over.

This guy ...... It was even possible to arrange for someone to run errands here at the Pulang Town Station in advance, how many people were brought out from the deep mountains? The other party claims to have tens of thousands of subordinates, although it is definitely impossible to bring everyone out, but in any case, it must be far more than these few around him, right?

Thinking about his previous resume, he was checked by the other party early, Heiko's mood was complicated and heavy, and he had a feeling that he would never be able to turn back if he accidentally got on a thief ship.

"Colonel!"

At this time, the thin middle-aged man also arrived, bowed humbly to Heiko, and after looking him up and down for a moment, Heiko only hummed shyly and reluctantly.

After all, his identity is the colonel of the naval branch, although he has been well-behaved like a grandson in front of Vito and others in the past two days, but he is the top person on Earl Island, and naturally he will not be polite to the merchants on the island who rely on his nose.

And this kind of swaggering appearance is also taken for granted by the thin middle-aged man, and when he straightened up, he didn't care about Colonel Heike's contempt at all, and his face was full of flattering smiles:

"I heard Captain Vito say last night, you are going to be here at the station in Prangtown today, change ships and go to Earle Island, I immediately took it over, and I didn't call the elders in the family, after all, it is the honor of our entire family to have the honor to carry a big man like you......

The tall and thin man was babbling over there, and Heiko was still interested in listening to his praise at first, but he became a little impatient in the back, stretched out his hand to interrupt the conversation, and squinted at the man and asked:

"Which family are you from on Earle?"

"Back to the Colonel, the villain belongs to the Hansen family, our family is in the tobacco cloth business, and every year along a fixed route, we go to trade on several islands on the south side of the Great Route."

Instead of being angry, the tall and thin man who was interrupted cheered up after hearing Heiko's words, and said with a flattering face, "The little one is the leader in charge of this merchant ship, you can just call me Sweet." ”

He had a similar idea, but Heiko didn't pay much attention to it at all, and after a simple hum, he asked straight to the point, "Then our room is arranged?" ”

"Rest assured! I arranged for someone to vacate it overnight last night, and it was definitely the best room on board! ”

"So what are you waiting for?"

Heiko waved his hand and said impatiently, "Let's go now, I don't want to stay in this cold, death-damned place any longer." ”

"Eh, eh, okay, come with me."

The tall and thin man hurriedly agreed, but when he turned to lead the way, he remembered that Heiko had just said that the open-air dock was cold, and his face couldn't help but show a strange look.

This delicate and expensive man is really used to staying in Marin Fando all year round, does this feel cold...... If you go to Earle, won't you have to spend the whole year complaining?

Heiko followed, not noticing the change in the face of the little man in his eyes, in fact his mind was not at all about boarding, but thinking back to what the tall and thin man had called when he mentioned Vito.

Captain Vito.

What is this? Do you book a position in advance before you get angry with yourself?

Heiko was a little entangled in his heart, the empty salary for this position was not easy to receive, after all, he was only one step away from the position of school officer, and he could be regarded as a middle-level elite in a branch base.

He hadn't thought of arranging a few of his followers in this position before, and even the skinny monkey man he relied on the most, that is, the first unlucky guy to get a headshot, only planned to give the title of lieutenant, and the captain and lieutenant were only one level away, but the difficulty of operating in the dark box was more than a little bit worse.

But the situation is stronger than people, and now he is just a prisoner, what more can he ask for than to do what Vito wants?

Heiko had no doubt that if he showed even the slightest bit of uncooperation with Vito's plan, the big guy named Seti would repeat what happened on the sea train, picking up his head like an eagle catching a chicken.
