In terms of time, they lagged behind Cabal and the others by almost two days, and if the distance was calculated, Cabal and the others were almost close to Sicily by now, and Xu Mo and the others had to pray that Cabal did not run into the Roman army in the port.

Two days later, Xu Mo and the others saw the black coastline in the distance on the sea, and Sicily arrived. They were able to reach Sicily in two days, and it must be said that these gladiators were very physically gifted and adapted to the wind and waves near the sea in such a short time. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that they are worried about their companions and are more energetic.

"Ruba, are you sure your body can withstand it?" Xu Mo did not rashly let the ship approach the coast, but planned to go ashore first with the Carthaginian naval warrior Ruba to investigate.

"It's okay, I've rested for two days, I've recovered!" Originally, Xu Mo only planned to go ashore alone to investigate, but Luba, who was a Carthaginian navy, insisted on going with Xu Mo.

The fishing boats carried by the rebels were small in size, and there were only a few of them, and in the dark of night, far away in the sea outside the port of Sicily, they did not worry about being discovered by the Romans on the shore, and after Xu Mo investigated, they chose an uninhabited beach without the Roman army to go ashore.

Ruba is very good at water, and as long as he recovers his strength, he can drown ashore from a few miles away. However, although Xu Mo can swim, his water nature is okay to flutter in the small river, but it is definitely not enough in the sea. He dared to go ashore alone to investigate, relying on the powerful Law Body and the "Fish Gill" skill obtained from the bottle of Kraken Essence.

After more than ten minutes in the water, Xu Mo saw that his health began to decline slowly, in fact, many people who drowned in the sea did not die of physical exhaustion, but drowned after being frozen by the sea. Even in the hot summer months, the sea water constantly takes away the body's heat, making it impossible for the body to maintain a normal body temperature, and eventually freezing and drowning.

At this time, Xu Mo began to miss the rum on the Vestelos, if there was such a bottle of rum, he could save several recovery items.

"My lord, our speed is too slow, at such a speed, we will die in the sea!" Ruba turned his head and said anxiously to Xu Mo.

His swimming speed was much faster than Xu Mo's, but after he swam a certain distance, he had to stop and wait for Xu Mo, who was swimming at the same speed as a dog~ crawling.

"My lord, let me help you!" Ruba grabbed one of Xu Mo's arms without saying a word, and with his help, Xu Mo finally caught up with the Carthaginian naval warrior who was paddling with one hand.

Xu Mo couldn't help but sigh, and a sense of grief and indignation arose. He had an impulse to tell this Carthaginian boy that Lao Tzu was the first mate of a powerful warship that you had never seen in your life, or the admiral of the navy of a future European power, which was equivalent to a naval admiral, and you should not despise me so much.

However, as soon as he says it, he will definitely be punished by space, and even if the Carthaginian boy believes him, it is estimated that the most likely thing is that Ruba will be despised like little Blakeney, and the admiral can swim like a dog like you~ Crawling?

Thinking of this, Xu Mo had no choice but to shut his mouth in great depression and let the Carthaginian young man half-drag him forward. With the help of Ruba, they finally reached the coast in half an hour.

After climbing onto the shore of the reef, Ruba quickly stripped naked, wrung the water, wiped his body dry, and began to rub his body and limbs vigorously, rubbing his whole body crimson. Xu Mo is a law body, but he doesn't need to raise his body temperature like Luba, but in order not to arouse his suspicion, he had to strip naked and "honestly oppose" with Luba, and pretended to wipe a few handfuls.

After recovering some physical strength, the two began to investigate along the coastline, and when they were half a nautical distance from the shore just now, Xu Mo and the others had already seen several large ships anchored in the harbor here in Sicily. Ruba identified three as battleships belonging to the Roman navy and three as merchant ships, so the two landed on the reef-filled shore.

They were now looking in the other direction, looking for a beach that could be directly approached. The gladiators were all landlubbers, and if they were allowed to land on the reef-ridden shore, they would all be drowned in the sea if they capsized at a depth of more than two meters, sparing the Romans.

After walking for a few kilometers, Xu Mo and the others finally found a more ideal landing spot. Xu Mo took out some food and handed it to Luba, "Luba, you eat these foods, replenish your strength, and then go back to the ship, bring the gladiators here to go ashore, and hide the boat and the female dependents!" ”

"My lord, what about you!" Ruba didn't talk nonsense, took the food and began to gobble it up.

"I'll go and explore the port, and I'll meet you later. Don't worry about me, I'm not as good as you in the water, on the shore I can beat a dozen champion gladiators! Xu Mohao said angrily. Anyway, Ragseus and the others were not by his side, and Xu Mo subconsciously still wanted to redeem a little of his self-esteem that he had lost in the sea.

After watching Ruba go to sea, Xu Mo quickened his pace and ran towards the harbor, and after a while, he saw three warships and three merchant ships on the other side of the harbor. The shape of the Roman warship was very unique, about 30 meters long, with a single mast sail, and a small wooden suspension bridge in the bow, shaped like a bird's head. Xu Mo spent some credits and found out in the soul mark that this kind of battleship was called the Crow Three-oared Boat.

The Raven ships carried more than two hundred men, most of them oarsmen, some sailmen and helmsmen, and about twenty archers and javelinmen. These people can all become warriors in naval battles, that is, Xu Mo and the others have to face at least a Roman army of more than six hundred people.

Xu Mo thought as he slowly approached the harbor, it was midnight, it was unlikely that the Romans were all on the ship, he wanted to find out the camp of the Romans. On a high ground only a few hundred meters away from the harbor, Xu Mo saw a Roman camp at the back of the harbor.

After taking a turn around the harbor, Xu Mo was sure that there was only this one military camp in this harbor, and there were no other Roman legions. Just when Xu Mo wanted to retreat, in the bright moonlight, he saw something on the harbor dock, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

After hesitating for a moment and looking around the harbor, he decided to get closer and take a closer look. After sneaking up closer, he finally saw something like this.

"Kabal!" Xu Mo hid behind a garbage dump on the dock, picked up a small pebble on the ground, and threw it on the stake to tie it to the man.

"Al......" Cabal woke up from a semi-coma, and immediately saw his leader, and couldn't help but crack his mouth with joy.

"Shh Xu Mo was in a hurry, hurriedly put his finger on his mouth, motioned to the Carthaginians to shut up, carefully looked around, and made sure that no one was around, Xu Mo quickly approached the stake and took out a dagger, "Don't make noise, I'll let you down." ”

Xu Mo cut the rope twice, helped Cabal behind the garbage heap, took a closer look at him, and found that he was not seriously injured, "It's really strange, why didn't the Romans crucify you, only tied a stake!" ”

"There is no water and no food!" Cabal gasped and asked, "Arres, how did you end up in Sicily?" ”

Xu Mo frowned, and took out the marching water and dry food he had extorted from Hairington and handed them to Kabal. After disembarking from the ship, all his food had been given to Ruba, and although the marching water and dry food could not replenish Kabal's health and energy, they still had the function of ordinary drinking water and hunger.

"We rescued a young man from the Carthaginian navy in the sea a few days ago, knowing that the Romans defeated the Carthaginian navy and blockaded Sicily, I was worried that something would happen to you before I came here, but I didn't expect you to be tied up as a pig!" Xu Mo said angrily.

"Hehe, those Romans saw us in heavy armor, thought we were a regular Carthaginian army, didn't know that we were gladiator rebels, and wanted to escort us back to Rome and sell us as slaves. We didn't choose to die because we wanted to escape, but because I had killed several Roman soldiers, I was the only one who was tied up here as a warning to the others! Cabal said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, can you go, since I found you, let's go with me!" Knowing the ins and outs, Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

"And what about our companions?" Cabal was silent for a moment and whispered.

"I've seen it, there are more than 600 Roman soldiers here, they will find you missing tomorrow, they will definitely strengthen the guards, we can't save those companions!" Xu Mo shook his head and said regretfully.

"Then I won't leave, if I want to save them, I will save them together, otherwise I would rather go with them and find a way to escape on the way!" "Thank you, Arres, for coming to my rescue, and tell the rest of your companions that our group is all dead. Then they won't come! ”

"You ......" Xu Mo was annoyed in his heart, and he wanted to leave it alone, but after a while, he immediately sighed helplessly like a leaky ball, "Okay, you tell me about some of the situations in the harbor......"

"Samsara 228, you have been given a competitive mission: the Emancipation Slave Ship (Class C). The three slave merchant ships in the Sicilian harbor had to escape more than a hundred prisoners of war, and the mission had to be completed within two days. Rewards: 8000 credits, 10 skill points, no penalty for failure in competitive missions. ”

Xu Mo, who was prompted, was immediately taken aback, "Kabal, on those three merchant ships, besides you, are there other prisoners of war?" ”

"Yes, I forgot to mention just now that in addition to the three Roman warships, the other three merchant ships, each of which carried a hundred prisoners of war, and the three ships had almost three hundred prisoners of war, and in addition to two hundred Carthaginians, there was also a shipload of Spartans." Cabal said wryly.

"If that's ......" Xu Mo showed a hint of a smile on his lips, but immediately turned his face again, "Okay, you're also full of food and drink, now continue to stand on the stake for me!" ”
