As the sun sets in the west, a low-hanging galaxy appears in the sky.

Huang Shang stood by the railing, munching on military rations.

This kind of dry food, he doesn't eat at all on weekdays, but after the battle during the day, he needs to replenish his energy.

Defeating the giant octopus doesn't mean they're safe now.

There are so many species in the ocean that even humans have never explored clearly, this time it's a giant octopus, and the next time it's a mutated shark.

There was silence on the sea, and at this moment, only the stars in the universe became the scenery where Huang Shang perceived his existence, but whenever he looked up at the sky, he had a very unreal feeling.

Human beings are so small.

He shook his head and reluctantly drank the mineral water, the war had caused great losses to the frigates, the power system was destroyed, and they could only pin their hopes on the rescue ship that had already departed from the port.

Until then, if nothing else, they will not be in any danger.

After the whole battle, although Huang Shang and his intelligence team members did not suffer much trauma, the ordinary crew members who were responsible for controlling the frigate were not so lucky.

Serious injuries were all good luck for them, and during the battle with the ancient octopus, Huang Shang even heard the painful wails of a crew member when they were swept away by the waves.

"I'm sorry, Chief, it's my fault."

At some point, Liuying walked behind Huang Shang, and her tone was full of apologies.

"Huh?" Huang Shang glanced up at her, "If you think that the losses in this battle are all your fault, I advise you to go and be quiet on the side rather than apologize on my side." ”

"Ugh." Liuying pursed the corners of her lips, "If it weren't for our incorrect intelligence, we wouldn't have let the frigate suffer from Juzhang's ferocious attack in vain, if it weren't for the leader, you killed that crazy sea beast in time, I think we ......"

Her words made Huang Shang feel a little funny, "It's nothing, it's not you who can dominate this kind of thing." ”

Looking at the look of remorse on Liuying's face, Huang Shang patted her shoulder, "This is just an emergency, if you are really frightened by the giant octopus this time, I advise you to return to the Northern War Alliance as soon as possible, I believe that if you are sincere, they will still take you in." ”

"Lord Chief......" tears appeared in the corners of Liuying's eyes, "But ......"

"It's nothing, you still have a lot of tasks in the future, and there is definitely more than one monster of this level of danger, why, are you still afraid?"

"Nope." The Wandering Warbler shook her head, "It's just that we didn't expect that the last time we encountered a sea beast, we only needed to carry out a spiritual invasion, and they would retreat because they were intimidated, but this time it angered it." ”

"There's a lot more to predict." Huang Shang handed her a piece of dry food, "Go and have a good rest, you don't have to be on duty tonight, get a good night's sleep, I hope to see you in good spirits tomorrow." ”

"Yes......" For some reason, listening to the leader's gentle words, she always felt a special feeling, although she had already married a family, but this sense of support was quite strong.

Maybe that's why I took refuge in him, Liuying thought to herself. Huang Shang was different from the lords of the Northern War Alliance, he was more approachable and comfortable to talk to, but there was still an unquestionable majesty in his words.

It's time for me to get some sleep.

......

The next morning, the warbler opened her eyes, the tiredness of last night was swept away, the dark sea was illuminated by the morning light, and in front of her vision, a large ship appeared.

Although the ship was a little small compared to the frigate, it did not prevent it from pulling the frigate forward.

It seems that the rescue ship has arrived.

And in front of the field of vision, at the end of the vast sea fog, the outline of an island gradually became clear, and Shikoku arrived.

Huang Shang stepped off the frigate under the guidance of Huerter and stood on the harbor, he was deeply shocked by the beauty of this place.

As far as the eye can see, the mountains in the distance are in full bloom, and although the buildings on the island are dilapidated, it is really a paradise and a hell compared to the wasteland.

"Come with me, chief, the Daimyo has been waiting for you for a long time." Huerter said in a deep voice.

When the group entered the underground nuclear Great Wall, Huang Shang understood what this long-awaited really meant.

In the dimly lit cell, a fat figure was imprisoned in chains, and the brazier beside him was scorching like a lost dog, reflecting his ravine-filled face.

This middle-aged man with pigtails should be a big name.

As if noticing the commotion, Maori immediately woke up from his sleep and looked out of his cell.

"You... You're coming. There was a deep fear in his tone, but the contradiction was his eyes—he seemed to be looking forward to Huang Shang's arrival.

"You're the Daimyo?" Huang Shang walked to the front of the cell, crouched down, and looked at him at eye level.

"It's down there!" The daimyo swallowed, "Is everything ready?" Can I sign? ”

Looking at his eager gaze, Huang Shang felt a little weird.

Generally speaking, prisoners who have been imprisoned and tortured will definitely be afraid and suspicious of enemy leaders, not to mention that the purpose of Huang Shang's trip is to bring the Four Kingdoms into his territory.

This is a catastrophe for the Daimyo, but why does he seem willing to sign this humiliating treaty?

"He's been tortured enough by us." Liuying walked up to Huang Shang and explained: "In terms of majesty and ability, he is not comparable to you, you are the real lord, and he is just a traitor who usurps power by violence. ”

"And his willpower is not very strong, although he controls Shikoku, but we penetrate his mind and find that he has no special sustenance for this island, so to speak, his mind is full of food and women."

"Interesting." The corners of Huang Shang's mouth curled.

He originally thought that the daimyo of Shikoku would be a ruthless hero, which can be seen from the cultivation of ninja spies, but he didn't expect him to be such a person.

"What about the treaty, let's sign it." Huang Shang looked at Huerter.

"Yes." Huerter took out a scroll and handed it to Maori, who quickly picked up the pen and signed his name on it.

After Huang Shang also finished signing, he showed a smile full of hope, "Now you can meet my request, right?" ”

"Of course." Hull nodded in response.

"What requirements?" Huang Shang frowned and asked.

"Let him continue in the role of Daimyo, but every decision he makes will be completely at your disposal." Huerter explained.
