Magellan opened his eyes and waited for the world to slowly become clearer.

"You're finally awake. ”

It was still a familiar tent, and sitting on one side was the Count, who was standing up and handing Magellan a glass of water in his hand.

"Are you in trouble?" Magellan asked, putting the cup to his lips.

"You don't seem to be the same anymore. ”

The Count looked at Magellan with melancholy eyes like autumn lakes, and at this moment, the vicissitudes and elegance of a middle-aged man in him exuded a light that was impossible to look at.

"I'm in trouble, but I have a plan, it's only a matter of time. ”

"We met a group of explorers. ”

Magellan quietly drank the water from the cup, then got out of bed and stood on the ground. He frowned and sniffed the sweat off his body, then walked towards the door.

"What are they doing?"

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, the answer to the question appeared in front of Magellan's eyes.

The stone statue of the hydra crumbled under the weight of its own weight, leaving behind a mountain of stone, and the temple next to it also collapsed due to Athena's departure, leaving only the statue of the goddess still standing.

It's like a piece of carrion on the ground, attracting a whole bunch of scavengers.

The camp was surrounded by explorers.

Edward and the sailors hid behind rocks with their weapons and confronted the explorers outside. It was a staggering number of outlaws, and their tents were all over the hill and full of figures.

It was not the weapons of the sailors and the witchcraft of Medea that kept this boat-like camp in the ocean alive, but its location far from the statue of the goddess.

This is the explorers, although they first came with Magellan's party, but soon, only a small number of people remember them. With "treasure" in their eyes, explorers are reluctant to pay attention to things that have nothing to do with them.

Magellan walked to the edge of the camp and stood beside Edward.

"Can you get away?"

"No, I can't. ”

There were quite a few explorers who noticed the appearance of Magellan, but most of them just glanced at it and then moved on with their own business.

"There are a lot of corpses here every day, and the disappearance of a few explorers is nothing, but we are the first to come here. ”

"I didn't expect ......," Magellan frowned and sighed, "one day I was troubled by too many explorers. ”

"In short, take your time to figure it out, and they're not in a hurry. ”

"No, it's a dead end. Magellan could clearly feel the hostile gaze from all sides, "It's true that the explorers won't besiege us, but soon they will start a scuffle, and there is no way to escape where we are. ”

Edward took a deep puff on his pipe: "Bad news...... Do you have any ideas?"

Magellan shook his head in silence.

"So, it's the same old ......"

The captain laughed.

"Let the Count leave with Medea first. ”

"Go ahead, I don't dare to say if they will listen to you. ”

Magellan nodded, turned and walked into the tent.

......

"Your Majesty's orders are that I must follow you until you end this expedition. ”

The Count spoke with a certain unprovoked melancholy in his eyes, he did not say, but Magellan knew what was happening.

"That's the end of the expedition. ”

Magellan looked tired when he spoke.

"But you haven't gotten the Statue of Victory yet. ”

"I've got something more precious than a goddess statue. Magellan said as he pulled out a wooden box from under the bed, and took out the admiral's diary and his notes. "Help me get this to Professor Cook...... If only you had a chance to meet him. ”

The Count looked at Magellan's hand in front of him and did not take the note in his hand: "What if there is no chance?"

"Then I'll give it to you. ”

The Count remained unmoved, and there was silence in the tent.

"The expedition is over. Magellan smiled with a hint of weariness in it, "The captain and I just got a new errand, and we'll go back when we're done." ”

"I'll take Medea with medea. The Count stood up and nodded, "But I will tell the Emperor that you have failed." ”

Magellan lowered his hand and left the note still on the bed.

The Count turned and walked out of the tent.

"Wait for me in Athens. ”

......

There were more and more explorers, fighting on the hillsides for the location of the camp, on the riverside for the place to fetch water, and for cooking for the smell of smoke blown by the wind.

This once inaccessible mountain forest is full of noise, but what lies behind it is not prosperity, but the desire to destroy.

The sailors became more and more agitated, not least because Edward forbade them to argue with the explorers.

The explorers brought with them the smell of blood, which permeated the unrecognizable mountain terrain.

No one knows when that day will come, although they are sure that day will come.

And then that day came, when everyone was not ready.

The first to light the fire bolt was the two groups of explorers by the river, and they clashed while fetching water, as they had done dozens of times before, the explorers pulled out their fire guns and swords, but the difference was that this time the fire guns rang out.

That's like a signal.

The sound of dry gunfire echoed through the hills, and all the explorers who heard it drew their weapons and pointed them at the strangers around them without hesitation.

The entire mountain forest became a battlefield in an instant, and the pungent black smoke from the burning of gunpowder mixed with the smell of blood filled everywhere, stimulating people to do something crazy.

At that time, there was silence in Magellan's camp.

The sailors stood behind the captain and Magellan like sculptures, weapons in their hands, but did not raise them.

Maybe the next second there will be countless explorers with their guns pointed here, and then there will be death, blood.

But that didn't happen in the end.

A long horn sounded, and a tall cavalry rushed into the crowd.

No one knows how they stormed the mountains, the only thing they know is that the cavalry put an end to the explorers' chaotic battle in the simplest and most brutal way.

They scattered and rushed into the battlefield in columns, all the way forward, leaving blood-stained blank spaces, like ditches ploughed in the ground, dividing the explorers who were fighting each other.

The noise was calm, the heat was cold, and the explorers looked around in fear, only to see the cold armor of the cavalry like steel statues.

Then came the second horn.

A knight walked through the passage ploughed out by the cavalry and came to the middle of the explorers.

It was a tall lion man with a golden mane.

"I am the Prince of the Alpha Empire, the new Governor of Theros, Aladdin of the Golden-Maned Empire. ”

The lion's voice is as young as his face.
