Chapter XVI: Landing

The Long Sail and the Dry Fire went their separate ways at sea for almost half a day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Originally, Tatara was going to get some supplies at Shawan Harbor, and the nameless island he occupied, although there were no monsters, was also a desert island, and it was very small, about a thousand acres of land. Not to mention food, there is nowhere to replenish even fresh water, so I can only run to Shawan Port every few days. Especially during this time, they were still wanted by the Florence Navy, and they couldn't even go back to their inherent lair, let alone loot, so they could only eat their old books, and their lives were quite hard.

Dane sympathized with this, but he quickly thought of one more thing and mentioned it to Dodoro.

"You don't dare to go to the Gold Coast, you can go east and get in trouble with those orcs. Although those guys are difficult to deal with on land, they are weak at sea and easy to bully. Besides, I can provide you with a way to grab some slave ships. ā€

He's right. Although the edge of the coastline of the Eastern Wasteland is not as prosperous as the Gold Coast, there will still be some caravans doing orc business, as well as the orc tribe's own ships. In the Oriental Wasteland, apart from some native products, the most developed trade goods were slaves. Orc slaves, half-orc slaves, human slaves, are all quite popular.

But not popular with pirates.

Pirates don't like to rob slave ships because they are troublesome and difficult to deal with. First of all, the slave hunting group is not easy to rob, and the slave hunting group that can handle a boatload of slaves is generally not too weak, and it costs a considerable price to rob them.

Even if the plunder is successful, a boatload of slaves must be stolen for food and drink, otherwise if the slave dies, it will be a great loss. And it was very difficult for pirates to sell large numbers of slaves. After all, pirates have no official status, and the large-scale slave trade is not something they can do.

As a result, pirates hated to run into slave catchers.

So, Tatara said, "Slave ship? What am I going to do with that thing? ā€

"There's really no way, you can grab it, the slaves you robbed are not easy to deal with, you can sell them directly to me."

"Why do you want so many slaves? A slave fishing ship, there can be almost one or two hundred slaves, can you eat it? ā€

"Eat well, don't worry, not a single gold coin will be missing you."

"Okay, if there's such a thing, I'll remember to pull you to Komya."

……

After the conversation was over, the two ships parted ways, and Dane and the others arrived at Komyrya Island in the afternoon of the next day.

It was difficult for the big ships to go ashore, and there were no ports or docks on Komya, so they could only put the anchor on the longsail, and then everyone went up to the shore in waves through the small boats.

On the way to land, Dane's greatest fear was that the Faceless would detect their arrival and launch a surprise attack. So, he was the first to set foot on the land of Komya, and he was accompanied by Delin, Sacco and Golobo. These are his three most loyal and most combat-ready men. Delin is a ranger, his longbow and sword are his best weapons, Golobo is a greataxe berserker, and Sacco is more special, he is a rare wandering knight.

The four of them, with a dozen or so mercenaries, quickly established a defensive line on the shore. They watched in the direction of the rocky forest in the interior of the island, guarding a temporary safe place and waiting for the other brothers in the mercenary group to complete the landing. The warning from Todoro, who had been to Komira Island, was still ringing in his ears, and Dane didn't want his troops to be attacked by the Faceless Ones when they landed.

However, sometimes this kind of thing doesn't mean that he won't come if he doesn't want to.

Before the second wave of soldiers could get off the landing boat, several faceless people appeared in front of Dane and the others. When the Faceless Ones discovered their traces, they rushed up decisively, as if they had seen a mortal enemy.

"Six." Dane spat out two words and said, "Hurry up and solve it, don't delay!" ā€

With that, he himself rushed forward first.

The combat effectiveness of these faceless ones is not weak, and in terms of individual strength, they are even stronger than these veterans of the Dreaded Mercenary Regiment who have experienced a lot of battles. They had no armor or weapons, but their tentacles were tough and powerful. With Dane's nineteen-point strength level, he can only be suppressed.

But after all, there was a battle that he personally played, and he dealt with the three Faceless Ones alone, and the remaining three also had Delin, Sacco and Golobo to deal with, and there would not be much of a problem. After cleaning up the six faceless ones in three or two clicks, Dane and the others finally created a relatively stable landing environment.

But his face was not very good-looking. People who have no foresight must have near-term worries, and this has just landed and encountered the attack of the Faceless, so it is obvious that there are many such monsters on this desert island. Don't think about it, this must be a very big threat that Dane and they will inevitably face.

Six Facelesss, they can easily solve it, but what about sixty? I'm afraid that the dreaded mercenary group will have to pay a considerable price. But on Komyrya Island, who knows how many Faceless Ones there are? Under the continuous attacks of these monsters, the construction of the territory will face no small trouble.

It's no wonder that Komya, a huge island, has no one to develop it. In addition to the bad geographical environment, the danger posed by these monsters is also very great. If there are too many monsters on this island, I am afraid that without a large-scale army, it will not be able to clean it up. And in such a place where safety cannot even be guaranteed, how can there be too good development?

Now it seems that Dane will face no small challenge if he wants to gain a foothold on the desert island of Komya.

This is quite a worrying thing, and to make matters worse, he doesn't know much about his enemies, the number of them is unknown, the distribution of power is unknown, and even worse, he can't even be sure now, whether these faceless monsters in the form of human beings are intelligent creatures or not.

Thinking about the questions that came to his mind one by one, Dane's brow could not be relaxed at all. He watched his surroundings vigilantly, fearing that a second wave of monsters would rush up.

As luck would have it, until all the more than 200 mercenaries had landed, the Faceless One, whom he had been wary of, did not reappear.

It was far from time to let his guard down, and Dane was planning to build a makeshift camp at the landing site, so he had to figure out what was going on around him.

So, he said, "Delin, Sacco, Golobo, the three of you, each take two squads and reconnoiter nearby. If you encounter an enemy, don't be alarmed, quietly record the information and return it. If you are attacked, don't touch it, retreat directly if you can, and send a signal for help if you can't retreat, and I will go over with support. All in all, your most important task is to get information about our immediate vicinity, and we need to set up a strong camp. ā€

The three nodded yes, and each took two squads and headed in three different directions.

The formation of the Dread Mercenary Group is to learn from most of the human countries on the continent. It is organized on the basis of a squad, with a squad of twelve people and five squads forming a squadron of sixty people. Now, in Dane's hands, there are only three squadrons of mercenaries, and he can pull out one-third of his strength as reconnaissance, which shows how much Dane attaches importance to the collection of surrounding information.

As the three of them set out, Dane spread out a rudimentary map.

This map is the map of Komya. No one knows how big Komya really is, because it's dangerous, and there's no financial interest, and there are never big development teams except for a few adventurers who die, and it's hard to get accurate maps.

But the area that has been discovered so far on the island of Komya is almost 5,000 square kilometers, which is quite a large area, almost the size of a small province. If these 5,000-odd square kilometers are all good land with abundant water and grass, there will be no problem in feeding 3.5 million people.

Pity......

The map in Dane's hand was drawn by adventurers who occasionally came to the island of Komya, and the accuracy was quite uncertain. But there was no way, Dane only had such a thing in his hands, and he got it from Goodall, the halfling merchant who sold Oshima to him, and he could only use it.

During the seven days on the ship, he didn't do anything else, so he concentrated on studying the map. And the location where they landed now is the final result of Dane's research. He had already made a decision, and the first important place to settle on the island of Komyrya was placed here. He even envisioned that the place had the potential to be a good port. He really wanted to build a dock here first, and in the future, when Komya Island really developed, this dock would also become an important channel for Dane's independent kingdom to communicate with the outside world.

He thought for a moment and then shouted, "Tommy! Tommy! Where are you running to be lazy again? ā€

Tommy ran over and said, "Boss, I'm here." ā€

Instead of criticizing him as usual, Dane said, "Clever ghost, you go and command our men to set up a makeshift camp in this area first, and organize people to carry some supplies down from the ship." First of all, pay attention to the defense, the fence wall should be stronger, we will settle here first. ā€

"Okay, no problem!"
