Chapter 417: Green Mountains and Green Waters (13)

"It's so unfortunate. I replied politely, ignoring his use of the word "little bastard," but forgetting to notice the prickly nature of his words.

"Filin would rather look at this fog than see your face in the morning. It was a narrow-minded answer, but it was very satisfying.

There was another thing that Filin was pleased with, and that was looking at the hem of his robe tied to his lap when he boarded the ship, how could Filin dress generously and decently.

Filin tucked his trousers into his boots, put on a soft cotton undershirt, and then put on a leather crop jacket over it, and thought about wearing chain mail, but Borges shook his head in disapproval.

"It is better to die cleanly because of the battle, and not to fall into the sea and drown. He gave advice to Film.

Hermes smiled. "People don't let overconfidence be a burden to him. He sarcastically indirectly indicated that even Borges laughed later.

So the film gave up wearing chain mail or protective steel armor. Anyway, I still have to paddle today, and Filin is dressed very comfortably, with no stitched folds on his shoulders and no forearms touching his sleeves.

I was so proud of my well-developed chest and shoulders that even Ariana was amazed and admired.

Filin sat in his place and paddled on his shoulders, smiling at the thought of Ariana.

Filmin has spent too little time with her lately, but Filmin thinks that only time can calm it down.

The robbers will invade in the summer, and there will be no time to spend with her, and autumn is still far away for me. The people, the oarsmen and the warriors, all in one place, were all ready to go.

When the helmsman is positioned and the rower begins to swing the oars regularly, people become one.

Fei Lin had noticed this phenomenon before, maybe I was more sensitive to this kind of thing, just because the secret spell sharing between Fei Lin and Hermes had sharpened Fei Lin's nerves, or maybe it was because all the men and women on the ship had the same goal, and this goal was revenge for most people.

Whatever the reason, it brings people together like never before.

Perhaps, thinking so, as a member of the arcane spell team, he would have similar feelings, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret for Fei Lin because he missed such an opportunity.

You're a member of my arcane spells team.

Hermes's words sounded quietly behind Filin, but somewhere farther away, a soft sigh came from a distant cliff.

Aren't people the same wolf pack?

People yes, he sends his thoughts back to them, and then he focuses on the work in progress again. The oars follow the rhythm of the wind and lead the Rox to the fog with great fanfare.

The sails on the battleship did not spread, and in a short time they entered a world that belonged entirely to people, filled with the sound of water and the regular breathing of people as they paddled.

Some of the warriors whispered to each other, their words and thoughts wrapped in the mist.

Rosen stood with the captain at the bow of the ship, looking into the distance behind the fog, his brows furrowed and his eyes wandering, he knew he was in contact with the cowardice on the Steady.

Then, out of boredom, he wondered if he could sense what he was whispering to him.

Stop! Hermes warned Filin, who felt as if he had been hit in both hands and had to retreat.

Filmin wasn't ready to make anyone suspicious of you.

That warning meant more than Filmin could have thought so far.

As if in a dangerous and unusual motion, Filin wondered what he was afraid of, but he remained focused on Filin's regular paddling movements, his eyes fixed on the endless gray sea, in fact, most of the morning was spent in fog.

Rosen instructed the captain to ask the helmsman to change course, but Filin noticed no noticeable difference other than a change in the way the oars were paddling, and the scene in the fog did not seem to change.

I still paddled with steady strength, and I lacked things to focus on, so I unconsciously walked into a daydream of nothingness.

A young guard suddenly screamed, interrupting Film's trance. "Beware of traitors!" he shouted, his voice sharpened as deep as blood.

"I'm afraid people are being attacked!"

Filin jumped up from his paddling seat and stared at it all in a panic. In the fog, only Filin's oars moved on the water, and the other rowers glared at Filin because he had broken the rhythm.

"What's wrong with you, Katz!" the captain asked, only to see Rosen frown and stand to the side self-righteously.

"Film...... I'm sorry that Filin's back is cramping. ”

"Kopi, change shifts with him. Stretch and walk around, boy, then go back to your seat and continue paddling. The first mate gave the order in a thick accent.

"Yes, sir. Filin took his instructions and got up for Kopi to take over the paddle, feeling better after a short rest.

Filin's shoulders clucked as he paddled, but at the same time he felt ashamed as Filin rested while the others were still working.

Fei Lin rubbed his eyes and shook his head, wondering what kind of nightmare made Fei Lin so distracted. Which caretaker and where?

Antler Island. They approached while the fog was rising. There were no towns, only beacons. Filin thought that they were planning to slaughter the guards and then do everything they could to destroy the beacon, which was a brilliant strategy.

The outer beacon guards the sea, while the inner beacon signals to Fort Deer and Jieyi Bay.

Hermes's thoughts were almost as calm as the moment when he was ready to strike with his weapon in hand. Then, after a while, he said: This slow-moving fellow only wants to be close to cowardice, and will not let Fillinton reach his heart.

Kaz, go to the captain and tell him to sail to Antler Island. If you get to the canal, the current will lead you to the bay where the beacon tower is located.

The robbers were already there, but they had to swim against the current to sail out to sea again. Go now, you'll still have time to catch them on the beach. Fast!

It's easier to give an order than to obey it, and he thought as he quickly stepped forward.

"My lord?" Fei Lin requested, and then stood there for a few moments, before the captain turned to speak to me, but the first mate glared at Fei Lin because he didn't go directly to the captain through him.

"Paddler?" the captain finally spoke.

"Antler Island. If people set out now and follow the current, they will fly to the bay where the beacon tower is located. ”

"That's right. Do you know how to watch the currents, boy? It was a useful trick, he thought that only Filin knew where he was on this ship. ”

"No, sir. Filin took a deep breath, ready to convey Hermes's will. "People should sail there and go now. ”

"What's all this nonsense?" Rosen asked angrily, "Do you take Filmin for a fool? You think people are already on par with each other, don't you? Why do you want Filmin to fail, because then you don't feel so lonely?"

Fei Lin really wanted to kill him, but he still held his head up and told the truth. "This is the Crown Prince's secret order, my lordship, and Filin is now delivering this message to you. ”

Filmin spoke only to the captain. He nodded and motioned for Filin to leave, asking Filin to return to his place and hand over to Kopi, and then gazed at the fog without a hint of emotion.

"Jerrick. Tell the helmsman to channel the boat into the current and let the boat go deeper into the canal. ”

The first mate nodded stiffly, and in a moment the people turned, the sails slightly puffed up, and as Hermes had said, the current and the paddles of the people allowed the battleship to sweep across the water and into the canal.

The feeling of time passing became very strange in the fog, and all the feelings were distorted. Filmin didn't know how long he had rowed, but Nighteye's whisper told him that there was a hint of smoke in the air, and almost immediately, the roar of battle was heard ghostly through the fog, and the first mate Jarrick and the captain exchanged glances.

"Everyone, get ready!" he suddenly roared, "the red ship is attacking the people's beacon!"

After a while, the foul smell of smoke drifted through the thick fog, and the shouts of battle and the screams of the people were clearly audible.

Fei Lin suddenly became energetic, and the people around Fei Lin also gritted their teeth, their muscles rose and fell from the oars, and there was even an unfamiliar strong smell of sweat, which came from the people who were working hard around Fei Lin.

If people were once one, they are now like parts of an angry beast. Fei Lin felt a raging rage burn and spread.

It is an emotion that seems to be the origin of the intellect, a beast-like heart surging, and a feeling of hatred arises spontaneously from people's hearts.

The Rox was allowed to continue sailing, and finally the battleship came to the shallows, and then it was docked in the shallow waters of the small beach, as during the exercise.

The fog was like a renegade of allies, blinding people from the enemy they should be facing, and obscuring the land and what was happening there.

While the men took up their weapons and rushed towards the sound of fighting, Lawson stayed on the Rox, staring intently at Fort Buck on the other side of the fog, as if to relay the latest news of the battle to Caydon.

The red boat was moored on the beach like the Rox, and not far away there were two small boats that served as ferries to the mainland, both of which were damaged.

When the Red Boat arrived, there were still people from the five principalities on the shore, their bodies still on the shore, but they had been slaughtered.

Another massacre. People passed by twisted corpses, and blood was spilling onto the beach.

They all looked like fellow citizens, and in an instant the inner beacon of Antler Island glowed faintly gray, and the yellow signal flame above burned ghostly in the fog. The inner beacon was besieged.

The Red Boat Robbers were a group of swarthy and strong men, not very athletic but thin and stocky, mostly with thick beards and black hair draped wildly over their shoulders.

They wore pleated leather armor and carried heavy knives and axes, some of them wore metal helmets on their heads, and Red Fruit had a circle of crimson stripes on her arms, but Filin wasn't sure if it was tattooed or greased.
