By the time Charles returned to the ship with Lily, it was already 3 a.m., and the little mouse had fallen asleep in his pocket.

Charles sat alone in his room, not a hint of sleepiness, and the words of Anna and Swan echoed in his head.

"Is it really as Swan himself said, there are many people who want his life, and the strongest overlord in the North Sea is so easy to end?"

This speculation is really a little unbelievable, the domineering spirit of Swan's previous attempt to rule the entire Earthsea has not yet dissipated, and now it is about to collapse?

Everything around him happened so fast that Charles couldn't react a little.

He looked through the window at the cooled British Island docks. At this time, all the fleets of Hope Island had left the port and floated back to sea.

Lily's rats have already dispersed for the most part, and as long as the "Rondo" on the other side of the island has any abnormal reaction, whether it is running or escaping, it is enough to react.

Now that Swan has completely torn his face, Charles has no hope for the submarine, and he is now more worried about Anna.

And the last thing she had to say also made Charles very puzzled, how did she know about the monster in the water?

Charles sat in his room, pondering these questions, until the docks were noisy again, and he still hadn't fully figured it out.

With a faint dark eye, Charles gathered all the management of the fleet and issued a new order in his capacity as the governor of Hope Island.

The entire fleet stood on the edge of the British Isles, waiting to see what happened.

Charles did this for Anna's sake, although the woman said it easily, but if something happened to her, he could help.

Of course, if Swan's empire was really crumbling, he wouldn't mind pushing it in the back.

The guy tied him up and put a gun to his head, and Charles didn't forget it that much.

Perhaps sensing Charles's different mood, the expressions of the other crew members on the ship immediately became solemn. There was a faint aura of solemnity in the sky above the fleet.

However, in the face of Charles's somewhat stressful reaction, the navy of the British Isle did not seem to see half of it, and did not even send a reconnaissance ship.

Soon, an unexpected visitor from Charles appeared in front of him.

"Governor Charles, why don't you leave your ship at the dock and let the sea float instead?

The three ship designers, who had drawings in their hands, asked with doubts on their faces.

Charles took a closer look and realized that they were really the same designers he had seen at the dockyard before, and pushed the revolver inside the cuff of his sleeve back. "Why are you here?"

The designer with rimless eyes at the head was stunned when he heard this. "Your Excellency the Governor, didn't you say that you needed a special ship? ”

Charles's gaze slowly swept over their faces, "Your governor...... Nothing in particular?"

"Oh, rest assured, designing ships is our life's work, and even if Governor Swan doesn't open his mouth, as long as we have the next order in the dockyard, we will do everything we can to do it well, this is our essential professional ethics. ”

Hearing these calls, Charles was a little confused, he didn't know what Swan was doing.

Took himself away, completely offended himself, and now let the people in the dockyard continue to build his own ship? Is this guy schizophrenic?

"Your Excellency the Governor, this is a drawing, please take a look. I thought it was impossible to build the kind of ship in the sea that you were talking about, but when I looked through the archives, I found that just 30 years ago, the same strange ship was built. ”

The yellowed drawings were spread out in front of Charles, and above them were drawings of the interior and exterior of a submarine.

Slicing his hand over the time-sensitive drawing, Charles held his chin in his hand and thought about the question.

He asked for the submarine in order to find the 319 relics and decipher the information left in his head. What did the man 30 years ago look for in the sea when he asked for a submarine?

After a few days of looking at Charles in place, the designer with rimless glasses said, "The design of 30 years ago was very backward, and we can build on it and build a new ship with more power and a bigger weapon system." ”

Charles couldn't care about what the hell Swan was doing at this time, the submarine was in front of him, and he couldn't help it.

"How long will it take to rebuild one?"

"The drawings are ready-made, if it's just a small boat, build the parts first, and then assemble it, it's almost at least 4 months, and the assembly of a surface boat is very fast, up to two months. ”

"What if you use your fastest speed? ”

"If we let other shipyard people help, it will definitely be much faster, but in this case, everyone's shipyard parts factories will be forced to shut down, which is obviously impossible, the Navy will not let us do this, and all shipyards in the second half of the year are very full. ”

After thinking for a moment, Charles raised his head and said to them, "You do it first, I will call you for the deposit, and I will discuss with your governor how many shipyards can be vacated to assist together." ”

Looking at the backs of the three departing, Charles's steel fingers kept pounding on the table.

"Lily, did your friends find anything?"

"No, there's nothing to be found on the island, but they say there's a weird atmosphere. ”

"Send the rats out, I need any movement from the whole island. ”

"Hmm!"

Charles's eyes narrowed slightly, it looked like there was going to be a good show on the British Isle, maybe he could also get in and get what he wanted.

"Half a year? I can't wait that long. If I get out of this stage play, I can also assist Anna from the side, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Time passed little by little, and nothing unusual happened to the islanders of the British Isle, but things always happen.

Just half a month after Charles arrived on the British Isle. A thick black smoke began to rise from the center of the island.

Without anyone reacting, the black smoke shrank and expanded. A dark orange mushroom cloud instantly appeared in the middle of the island.

A short second later, a deafening explosion wreaked havoc on the island with a shockwave.

The sound was so loud that Charles, who was looking over there with a telescope, was a little ear-piercing.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Charles's mouth rose slightly, "It looks like there's a good show going on." ”

Not long after the explosion, the gunfire and gunfire began to riot, during which the black smoke in the factory's chimney was extinguished, but new black smoke came out of the Shimana residential area.
