Although Bbright also belonged to the captain of an armed merchant ship belonging to the Swedish Navy, and it was unlikely that he would mutiny, Gerhardt and Xu Mo still did not dare to send a signal to summon the Vistelos immediately, but cautiously waited until dawn.

After daybreak, Gerhardt had the group climb to the top of the volcano to scout the waters around Jan Mayen Island and confirm that the Hell God was indeed not in the nearby seas, which allowed Frieza to light a bonfire and use the smoke to summon the Vestelos, which was also the signal to summon the warship during the day agreed with Hedram.

"Lord Gerhardt, what are you looking for?" Xu Mo struggled to climb up to a stone platform on a high place.

This stone platform is located on the volcano of Jan Mayen Island, about 100 meters above the ground, which is not very high, but the terrain is very dangerous. The stone platform is a protrusion in the conical volcano, which is seriously composed of two cliff stones, the lower one is a small platform, and the upper one is like a curved beak that envelops the platform below, like an eagle's beak.

At the back of the platform there was a narrow cavern, the size of which could only enter one person, and it was the kind of cave that had to crawl forward, and it was impossible to hide people at all. Because of the prominent position of this platform, the view is very good, and you can almost observe the sea surface situation in the sea area of Jan Mayen Island close to 270 degrees.

"Alfred, I'm afraid this 'hawk'beak platform' is one of the lookout posts set up by the Hell God!" Gerhardt took a closer look at the campfire marks left on the platform.

"Well, there are almost no rubble on the platform, it must have been cleaned up. Although this small platform can't accommodate many people, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are several hidden posts that can be ambushed underneath. If the Hell God is still on Jan Mayen Island, our actions last night were very dangerous, and even if we can pull out this outpost, it will definitely not stop them from sending a warning signal to the Hell God. Xu Mo nodded approvingly.

The other sailors found two other lookout posts at the top of the volcano, these relatively flat platforms basically have some narrow volcanic caves next to them, but the terrain is not as good as this platform, even the one found in Upper Gelhardt, the Hell God has set up a total of three lookout posts on the high part of the volcano a few days ago. These three lookout posts brought the sea surface of the dozens of nautical miles near Jan Mayen Island under the control of the Hell God, and there were two lookout posts at almost every point on the sea surface where abnormal conditions could be seen.

It seems that Clifford has also thought about the safety of the lookout post, so he has set up a double insurance, from this point of view, Xu Mo's action last night, the probability of failure is as high as seventy percent, and the probability of exposure is almost one hundred percent, and the ambush plan of the North Sea Lion is flawless.

Of course, the more carefully Clifford arranged, the heavier Gerhardt and Xu Mo's hearts became, what kind of accident made Clifford give up such a perfect ambush plan and leave Jan Mayen Island, which is equivalent to making the North Sea Lion give up the delicious food that has been served to his mouth.

Two hours after receiving the fireworks signal, the Vistellos finally came to the vicinity of Jan Mayen, but because Jan Mayen Island did not have a good harbor, they had to anchor in a sea to the northeast, and the people on board came to the island in small boats.

Hedram and the other officers were also puzzled when they learned about the situation on the island. Captain Bright, who was slowly recovering from hunger and cold, also began to reminisce in detail about their experiences during this time and the information they had gained during their captivity.

It turned out that after receiving orders from His Majesty Gustavus to attack, they disguised themselves as pirates to hunt down English whaling ships and exiled English sailors to Norway. Originally, there was an armed merchant ship with them, and the two ships were cruising along the Norwegian coast, but after some time, Captain Bright felt that the two armed merchant ships were too inefficient to plunder together, so he crossed the Norwegian Sea alone and came to the vicinity of Jan Mayen Island to hunt down the English whaling ships near the island to replenish fresh water.

The Hell God had arrived on Jan Mayen Island two and a half years earlier, and Captain Bright had not expected that the Hell God had not been looking for pirates along the Norwegian coast, but had been pursued all the way by the Vestelos. Carelessly, no lookout posts were set up, and as a result, the armed merchant ship, which was inferior in firepower and speed to the Hell God, was quickly sunk, and Captain Brett swam to Jan Mayen Island with a crew of more than 20 who had narrowly escaped with their lives.

After sinking the armed merchant ship, the Hell God did not move far from Jan Mayen Island, but sent armed sailors to set up a lookout post on the island, during which it fought again with the Swedish sailors led by Captain Bright, this time killing all but Captain Bright and another crew member, and Captain Bright was also imprisoned on the Hell God.

Strangely, two days later, the Hell God actually gave up its original ambush plan on Jan Mayen Island and chose to continue north, while also banishing Captain Brett and the others on the island.

Because Captain Bbright and the others were imprisoned in the bilge of the Hell God, they didn't know what happened to the sailors of the Hell God on Jan Mayen Island during those two days and three nights, but they knew that the sailors of the Hell God were very afraid.

From Captain Bright's account, everyone got two pieces of information, one is that Clifford chose to go north instead of choosing to return, obviously Clifford is still looking for fighters and wants to compete with Hedram, Captain Bright and the two are likely to be Clifford deliberately left them a microphone to convey the message. Another piece of information is that there is an unknown danger on Jan Mayen Island.

Regardless, they can't leave the island until the Vestelos has replenished it with enough fresh water. At the same time, in order to prevent the Hell God from returning to the rifle, they must also set up a lookout post on the island.

Admiral Hudram, after consulting with his first mate and the stormtrooper leader, decided to use the lookout post location chosen by Clifford on the island. Those three locations are really good and condescending, not only to monitor the sea, but also to monitor movements on the island.

However, for the safety of the lookout guards, Hedram assigned five people to each sentry post, and asked them to fire warning shots immediately if they encountered danger, and the sailors on board would rescue them as quickly as possible.

"Lord Alfred, what are you thinking?" Dinah walked up to the deck and saw Xu Mo leaning against the side of the boat in a daze, so she stepped forward to greet her.

"I was thinking about Captain Bright!" Xu Mo frowned and said, "If they are telling the truth, then the sailors of the Hell God who stayed on Yangmayan Island should have encountered unknown dangers at night. ”

"Well, if it were daytime, the English had a large number of muskets and cannons, and it was impossible not to save their sailors! But what does that have to do with Captain Bright? Dinah asked curiously.

"You know, when we went to the island yesterday, it was also at night, why didn't Captain Bbright and us run into danger?" Xu Mo said in confusion, "In addition, there are two points that also puzzle me very much, in this era, the deck sailors on the battleship are not lacking in courage, but from Bright's account, the English obviously did not lose many personnel, why would they be afraid to the extent of shaking their morale?" And did Clifford really choose to abandon such a perfect ambush plan just because of the deaths of a few lookouts? ”

"Then why don't you go and remind Hedram of them?" Dinah was startled.

"Hedram and Gerhardt are not stupid, I can think of it, they have thought of it, and this is not a difficult problem to speculate!" Xu Mo said lightly.

"Do you want to ......" Dinah's eyes flashed, and she understood.

"Yes, the number of people on duty on the deck will be doubled tonight, and Hedram will be in charge himself, whether there is danger on the island or Clifford playing tricks, we will be ready for it!" Xu Mo said calmly.

At night, after being rotated off the deck by Gerhardt, Xu Mo tossed and turned in the hammock and couldn't sleep, thinking about the puzzles left by the Hell God in his head. It wasn't until the second half of the night that Xu Mo fell asleep in a daze, and the sound of the sea breeze whistling outside the ship's side was like the melodious sound of Scottish bagpipes brushing in his ears.

The next morning, Xu Mo woke up energetic again, which surprised him very much, he had almost only slept for less than two hours last night, and it seemed that the quality of his sleep was very high this time.

After coming to the captain's room, Xu Mo found that all the officers of the ship had arrived, and it was surprising that last night was calm, and the officers on duty did not find any accidents.

"Captain, there's an urgent message from the lookout post on the island!" At this time, a sailor hurriedly ran in from the door and said.

"Has the Hell God appeared?" Hedram shot ~ Jingguang and stood up from his chair with a snort.

"No, it's not, the lookout post asked for officers to be sent to the island immediately, they didn't say the specifics, but the signal was very hasty, and it seemed to be nervous!" The sailor recalled, and continued.

"I'll take a look!" Xu Mo stood up silently and gave Dinah a wink.

"I'll take a look too, maybe for some things, the power of the priest is even more indispensable!" Dinah immediately stood up at the same time, understanding.

"No, I'll lead the team myself!" Hedram walked out of the captain's room with a serious face.

Half an hour later, Hedram took Xu Mo and a well-armed musket team to set foot on Yanmayen Island again.

"Mention ...... Admiral, he ...... They're gone! A sailor at the lookout post said in alarm.

"Stand up straight, Vikings!" Hedram said with a straight face.

"Yes, Admiral, this morning we found out that a group of lookout brothers had disappeared!" The sailor slowly calmed down.

"Gone?"

After stepping onto that lookout, Hudlam and the others finally understood why the sailor said that they were gone!
