Coastal patrol is undoubtedly a very dangerous job, but there is also the benefit of taking all the gains to yourself.

Whether you kill a monster or a human on the opposing side, everything on the opponent's body is yours, and the Imperial Army will not take a penny.

If you catch a spy, you can get some reward - not ordinary coins or useless magic crystals, of course, but valuable resources from the New World.

"We approve of you being the captain, but don't try to order us to do something to die."

The camp was assigned to Xia by four mid-level mercenaries, and the man in the lead had a big square face and a rather burly physique, and looked like a good warrior.

His face was full of vigilance, and a pair of eyes stared at Xia defensively, his hand holding the hilt of the knife at his waist all the time.

The strength of the other party is there, if you want to turn your face, the four of you are not enough to see at all.

"I won't command you."

Xia straightened up from a stone he was leaning on and said lightly:

"When you get to the shore, you're free, I don't care if you jump into the sea, I just want to go far away."

"What a funny thing you say, big sister."

A mercenary dressed as a magician laughed: "In such a cold weather, I don't want to go to bathe in the sea." ”

"Then it's settled."

The square-faced man let go of the hand on the hilt of the knife and led the other three to Natsu's side.

From now on, a five-man patrol squad was officially established.

"Our mission is to scout the reefs to the east."

Xia looked at the warrant issued to her by the soldier and said:

"What I just said is still valid, you can go if you want, stay on the shore if you don't want to go, even if I am attacked, just go back and report immediately, understand?"

And then without waiting for the men to answer. Said to Erin in a transcribing voice:

"Erin, you fly in the direction of the forest now, and when I leave the range of the coast, I will start to scout the level and information of the nearby monsters, if I can't see the information, it means that I have returned to the shore, and I will come back immediately."

Her strength in the New World is not enough for the artifact Lori to detect information about high-level monsters, but the reef is at sea. It's no longer on land, so as long as it's not too far away, Erin can definitely see most of the monsters.

"I'll go, master!"

Erin, like the little Lori in black, likes the tasks given to her by her master, and flies towards the north happily after receiving the order.

"Keep up."

Xia hooked his finger at the four people:

"I was your captain before I got to the beach, and I hope you don't forget this."

"Let's go!"

The square-faced man drew his knife and followed her towards the coast.

There was no moon in the sky tonight, and the further you walked to the beach after leaving the Imperial Barracks, the darker it became. Later, I couldn't see my fingers.

Those mercenaries are all characters who have seen the world, and they will not be timid because of the dark environment, but this is an unknown continent, so several people are still nervous to move forward together, and the magician does not dare to send out the basic magic of light magic, for fear of becoming the target of monsters.

Natsu walks very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the beach, and her eyesight is not comparable to ordinary people. Scanning around, I immediately spotted the reef mentioned in the warrant.

It was a group of rocks of considerable size. Large and small reefs are densely covered in the sea, and waves occasionally crash on the low reef, but the higher part in the middle is like a cliff, and it has an excellent view, and you can peek into a corner of the Imperial military camp with a telescope.

"This should be considered a strategically valuable location, no wonder the Imperial Army is looking for people to patrol the vicinity."

She didn't bother with the four people in the back. I jumped onto a small reef and jumped to the center of the reef as if I were playing a game of jumping.

"Thomas, shall we go along?"

A thief with a short sword whispered.

"Wait, the environment around here is very harsh, and she may not encounter enemies."

The square-faced man named Thomas thought for a moment:

"It's beyond land. Haven't you heard about it? After leaving the mainland, her strength will be restored immediately, even if there is a sea monster, she should not be her opponent, this woman is at least a strong person at the level of the Sword King. ”

"Let's take a look around the neighborhood first, and maybe we'll find something of value, but it doesn't seem like a place is visited by very many people."

They are real mercenaries, willing to do anything for money, and the search for treasures is only a trivial matter for a few people.

"It's still the most secure when you're full of power."

Natsu looked at his hand and could feel a huge explosive power from between the slender knuckles.

"Whew!"

She brought out the afterimage in her hand, drew her sword and slashed at the nearby reef.

A rocky reef like a hill was silently cut in half by the sword, and the upper half slowly slid into the sea, causing a huge splash.

"There doesn't seem to be any sequelae, this law of the New World is really magical."

Satisfied, she put the sword back into its sheath, found a place with the best view, sat down, and began to wait there for daybreak.

This patrol mission is actually only in the first half of the night, but there is no limit on what time you will return, and the team responsible for the second half of the night is happy to stay in the camp, because the mission must be officially handed over to be over, and even if they don't go out, it is not considered a violation of the rules.

"Young master, that woman...... It looks like a powerhouse at the level of Juggernaut. ”

At the other end of the reef, a head quickly retracted and said in a frightened tone.

In front of him lay an officer with a strange aroma, his face was now iron and blue against the reef, and he did not dare to move.

"Nonsense, I saw it just now, and I still need you to say it?"

The officer cautiously climbed down from the height and cursed in a low voice.

"Shall we do it then?"

An attendant asked stupidly.

"the fart!"

The officer kicked the retinue into the water and said hatefully, "To encircle and suppress a sword master? Even the expeditionary commander had to weigh it. ”

He turned his head and looked at the silver-haired mercenary and gritted his teeth:

"If that woman wants to deal with us, she can kill everyone here in a matter of seconds...... Why don't you untie the ship? We're going to get out of here right now! ”

"Oh? Profound! ”

Another attendant hurriedly stood up and went to the place behind the boat to untie the rope and drag the boat to this side.

Since the two sides were so far away and the sound of waves was all around, Xia didn't notice that there were still people hiding in the distance, and still sat quietly and enjoyed the sea.

"It looks like a gaze was spying on me just now."

Although she didn't see anyone, she was keenly aware of these people's gazes:

"Could it be that there is some powerful monster hiding around here? Be careful when you get ashore, unlike when you leave, the sudden feeling of weakness will make your defenses slack for a moment. ”

The silver-haired girl in disguise sat on the reef and kicked her legs boringly, waiting for the monster to come and attack her, so as to pass the time, but she waited for a long time and did not move, which made her a little puzzled.

"Why hasn't that bastard come here yet?"

The few people hiding behind the distant reef were also waiting anxiously, because the entourage who had been ordered to go to the tugboat was nowhere to be seen for a long time.

"Go, go over and see what the hell he's up to? Did you accidentally fall into the sea? ”

The officer kicked the man next to him and ordered him. (To be continued......)
