Chapter 17: Ghost Knife Harbor

On the shoreline, more than a hundred people, under Tommy's command, are busy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tommy's strength is not very good, and as a thief, even the level of assassination is not qualified. He's a real thief, and he's pretty good at petty theft, intelligence inquiry, and meddling in underground things and gray areas, but he's really not proficient in combat.

But everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Dane's men had no shortage of warriors who were skilled in combat and killing, but he lacked people who could assist him in the administration of his realm. After thinking about it carefully in the mercenary group, I have to say that little Tommy is the most suitable person.

He's not like Golobo or Delin, who knows how to fight and kill, has his own understanding of many things, and his execution ability is pretty good, his brain is clever, and he's a pretty good officer. As for whether he can become a qualified government official in the end, it depends on his own creation.

For now, though, under Tommy's direction, the construction of the makeshift camp was well organized. Some people were around, using some of the wood scraps brought down from the boats, to build a wooden fence. Some people built their houses out of wood and stone.

Of course, it will take a certain amount of time to build a fixed stone and wood structure house, and it is estimated that it will not be able to live in it tonight. Therefore, there are also some people who have set up some temporary tents, which can be regarded as their residences for a period of time.

The coast has become a large construction site. Dane himself, however, did not join in the work, and went alone into the stone forest, and searched everywhere to find a flat stone.

He grinned, picked up another small sharp stone from the ground, and began to imprint something on the flat stone.

After a while, he stood up. I saw that on that flat block, there were a bunch of words written on it, and the combined meaning was: the pioneer of Cormyrya, the territory of Sir Dane Ghostblade.

He laughed, clearly pleased with his work. The titles written on it are naturally self-appointed by him. The pioneers of Cormier are still quite true, but Sir Dane Devilknife is complete nonsense. He was born as an orphan since he was a child, and his bloodline was still so mixed that he didn't even know what his surname was, and the ghost knife was just a nickname for him, which he used as a surname. Of course, he is not a knight canonized by any country or lord, but this does not prevent him from adding such a title to himself.

In fact, if it weren't too shocking, he would have wanted to directly add a higher-level noble title to his body. Like the Earl? Duke? Or even the emperor?

It's just that the name is not true, he thought about it, let's pull it down. A jazz, just right. In the future, when his territory is bigger and stronger, he will add a higher rank to himself. Anyway, no one can control him.

In fact, this is not just a self-proclaimed idea that Dane likes to be famous, but has a certain practical significance. Now, the island of Komya is deserted, but in the future, after the territory is built, it will have to have a name. He brought himself the name of a nobleman, which was of course good for future development.

As for whether anyone will question his aristocratic status in the future - hehe, when he has included the entire island of Komya into his sphere of influence and fully unfolded "Heart of the Dynasty", whoever dares to question it will blow it up!

He took the slate and returned to the camp. Tommy, who saw him from afar, greeted him and said, "Boss Dane, where are you going?" ”

Dane was in a good mood and didn't knock Tommy on the head this time. He threw the slate in his hand to Tommy, and said, "Find a place to erect this slate, and in the future, our place will be called Ghost Knife Harbor!" ”

"Oh, okay boss!"

After sending little Tommy away, Dane stayed in the camp, occasionally taking a hand, and devoted himself to the construction of the territory. He didn't dare to go far, knowing that he had sent Delin, Sacco and Golobo to investigate the surrounding situation, and he learned from Tataro that the island was dangerous, and of course he did not dare to be careless. He always pays attention to the situation around him and is ready to attack at any time.

It was getting late, and the teams of Delin, Sacco and Golobo, who were in charge of reconnoitring the surrounding situation, returned one after another.

Dane was quite concerned about the information they brought back, and he gathered the three guys together and asked them one by one.

They landed from the north shore, and the three squads went south, west, and east to investigate, and the situation was not ideal.

Heading south, Golobo said that he had not encountered any monsters on the road, nor had he found any traces of them, but that they had come across a mountain cliff rising from the ground about 20 kilometers away. They looked at both sides of the cliff and saw that there was little possibility of crossing it on foot, so they returned.

To the west, Delin has gained something. Thirty kilometers away, he found a hut and confirmed that it must be a freshwater lake that could be used as a freshwater supplement for them. But he didn't get too close, for in a stone forest near the Tamsui Lake, he came across a gathering of more than two hundred faceless. Fortunately, Delin was careful enough not to alarm the group of facelesss, otherwise, it would not have been so easy to come back.

The only battle that took place was the westward march led by Sacco. They didn't encounter the Faceless, but sporadically attacked them with a few hairless, black-skinned, hyena-like monsters. Those black hairless hyenas, the individual combat power can be compared to a heavily armed mercenary warrior. Fortunately, the number of hairless hyenas they encountered was not large, only seven or eight. The more than 20 veterans he brought with him were under the combined force, and although some of them were not lightly injured, there was no direct combat attrition.

Now, Dane basically knows the general situation of dozens of kilometers around the 'Ghost Knife Harbor'. Of particular concern to him was the group of faceless settlements near the freshwater lake to the east.

Just now, he had already personally fought a team of Faceless Ones, and he probably knew that these monsters were capable of fighting. More than two hundred Faceless Ones, entrenched just over thirty kilometers away from where they are now, must be a very big problem.

He had already observed from the battle that the Faceless seemed to be extremely hostile to humans, orcs, and other creatures. As soon as those guys see them, they don't hesitate to attack. It's not hard to imagine that if the Faceless Ones in the east discovered the Ghost Knife Harbor that humans were building, they would probably not hesitate to attack.

With more than two hundred faceless, this is almost an army of monsters. Once the war breaks out, how much will the Dread Mercenary Group need to wipe out these Faceless Ones? This question, Dane pondered a little, and came up with a rather pessimistic figure: in a head-on battle, he would probably have to pay at least a quarter or more casualties if he wanted to kill all these faceless.

The result of this estimate made Dane's face rather unsightly. Just setting foot on a desert island, the construction work has only just begun, and it is necessary to face such a large but almost inevitable cost of casualties...... He had to start worrying about his future.

He gritted his teeth and decided to speed up the pace of construction.

With the construction of the Ghost Knife Harbor, he has no more options. Building walls and fixed camps, these are all manpower and time to build, and he is not a god, so it is impossible to blow a breath to make the Ghost Knife Port from scratch. However, in addition to relying on manpower to build the camp, he also has a big killer, which is why he dared to lead the dreaded mercenary group to develop the desert island of Komya, which no one dares to develop: the game system of "Heart of Dynasty"!

Dane handed Sacco the rudimentary map he had in his hand, asked him to revise it according to the results of the three reconnaissance teams, and then decided to go west alone.

The wandering knight Sacco dissuaded, "Dane, I suggest you still don't leave the camp alone. The situation on this island is very uncertain, although the individual hyenas are of average level, and I have not detected a large number of hairless hyenas, but there are no absolutes, and it is too dangerous for you to be alone. And it's getting late, no matter what happens, wouldn't it be better to wait until tomorrow dawn and bring a few people with you? ”

Dane shook his head and said, "It's okay, you're still worried about me?" The three of you are on guard for tonight, and you are assigned the men for the night vigil, so that you don't sleep too much. I'll go and I'll come back. Don't worry about my safety, no one needs to follow me, I'm alone. As for what I'm going to do, you don't have to ask. ”
