The early morning breeze was a little refreshing, and the three of them left the wooden boat and walked towards the harbor after breakfast, and along the way the women greeted different people, some smiling back, some returning greetings, and some with cold faces.

"Henna!" shouted a woman on the deck beside the road.

The girl looked at the deck, took her mother's hand and said, "It's Aunt Jingxian." The three of them heard the sound and walked to the side of the road.

The woman named Jingxian slowly put down the basin full of water, wiped the water stains on her hands on her apron, and said to the woman: "Sister Henna, why didn't the mercenary ship in Ostown come back yesterday?

"Yes, I guess I can almost come back today, and it's normal to be a day or two late.

Sister-in-law Jingxian, is your husband Brother Du Wen also on this ship? ”

Yes, I went to sea with your family Cui Zhan that day, and I also went to the port to pick it up yesterday, so I didn't just prepare.

Let's go to the port, then, and with that, Henna straightened her dress and locked the cabin.

The four of them came to the dock, and there were many more people around them than yesterday, looking at the direction of the sea, and at the same time discussing the mercenary ship that had not returned for a long time.

So the four of them also stood in the harbor and looked out into the distance.

After a long time, three or four hours later a horn sounded from the lighthouse on the heights, and a large wooden ship on the sea slowly sailed towards the harbor, and the sails of the ship were clearly marked with the symbol of the triangle of Ostown.

The long-awaited crowd cheered.

At this time, a pair of people behind him walked towards the port, these people were wearing bone armor, holding spears made of the horns of low-level demon beasts and knives and axes sharpened from snails, and they stepped neatly into the port.

Everyone dodged to the sides, all bowing their heads slightly, and after a somewhat daring glance, they also looked down at the tips of their shoes.

This is the city lord's guard of Os, who came to pick up the materials on the mercenary ship, that's right, every time they go to sea, ninety percent of the supplies belong to the city lord, and the rest is the salary of the mercenaries.

Helplessly, the ships belonged to the city lord, and the crew and mercenaries had nothing to say, after all, it was illegal to make private ships in Oss City.

Even if it's not illegal, because of the limited supplies, it is difficult for an individual to build a decent ship that can resist the attacks of storms and monsters.

Behind this team of armored soldiers standing in the harbor, some convoys driving the low-level demon beast "Amphibious Manatee" also arrived.

"This kind of manatee lives in the water, more than three meters tall, five or six meters long, can live on land, but can not cut off the water, the strength is very strong, but the temperament is extremely docile, people domesticate and use it for camel loads."

With all this ready, the boat slowly leaned towards the dock, and a thick rope was thrown from the ship onto the dock.

More than a dozen people immediately appeared on the dock and grabbed the rope, pulled the rope inward, and the hull of the boat slowly leaned against the dock.

When touching the pier, the thick inflatable swim bladders on the edge of the pier cushion the momentum between the boat and the pier, making a squeaking sound.

When everyone looked at the deck of the ship, they couldn't help but be stunned, the ship was empty.

Only a dozen crew members on the deck looked shabby and physically and mentally exhausted with their heads bowed. There was also no driftwood floating on the sea in tow behind the boat.

You must know that this ship has been out to sea for a month, and it is impossible that not a single piece of driftwood has not been found.

At least 30 or so crew members on board are now only a dozen or so, because the crew is homesick, every time they return, everyone will be on the deck looking forward to seeing their families close to the pier.

To the surprise of the young mother and daughter, there was no young man's father, woman's husband, or girl's father on the deck of the ship!

Due to the blockade of the docks by the armored guards, the crowd could not get forward.

At this moment, a soldier in armor and holding a giant axe climbed onto the ship along the rope, stood majestically in front of the crew mercenaries, and asked sternly what was going on.

A few minutes later, the giant axe soldier hurriedly jumped out of the boat and ran quickly towards the castle of the city lord.

Looking at his expression, it was as frightened as chewing three large bags of chicken essence.

And the people on board were also ordered by the army not to get off the ship. Seeing this scene, some of the eyes of the people were suspicious, some whispered to the people around them, and some were constantly sobbing secretly.

The boy and his mother were also full of rosy, and the girl looked at a loss, pulling the corner of her mother's clothes and standing on the side of the pier.

Twenty minutes later, a group of people walked from the high place in the direction of the castle of the city lord, and as they gradually approached, the young man saw that the leader was a white-bearded old man in a robe, holding an unknown black staff in his hand.

The black staff was pitch black, and a trace of black mist slowly emanated from the staff.

This old man and young man knew, and the whole of Oss City knew that this was the Great Elder of Oss City, "Oak".

"Oak" can be described as an existence under one person and above ten thousand.

Behind the Great Elder was a tall middle-aged man.

The man was a burly man, with a whole large crab shell on his chest, and some thick-looking armor in the crooks of his arms and legs.

Wearing a bright red cloak, a giant sword was hidden close to his body, and he could faintly see the white cold light at the blade.

It was clearly a sharp metal weapon, though the boy didn't know what it was made of at the time.

This is the general of the city of Os, "Aotian". And behind the two are also a dozen people who are different from the front guard. It also has its own characteristics and a rigorous face.

The group walked to the dock, and everyone knelt down in unison, "Long live the great elder!"

Then no one dared to get up, not even one who looked up. The Great Elder gave an order, and everyone dared to slowly bend down and raise their bodies.

I saw the anxious expression of the Great Elder on his cheeks, and he looked around the boat, his face was much more solemn, and then he got up and jumped onto the boat with the two generals.

Immediately, a black fog gradually spread on the deck of the ship, making it impossible to see the situation above or hear the sound of conversation.

Ten minutes later, the thick fog lifted, and the Great Elder and General jumped out of the boat and walked towards the City Lord's castle with the entire guard.

And the people on board also got off the boat themselves. When they saw the crew disembarking from the ship, everyone rushed up and asked about various ......

Looking at the ragged and scarred crew in front of him, the young man stared for his father with wide eyes, but unfortunately, there was no young man's father among them.

It was like hell on earth, everyone guessed the outcome, and the cries and howls rang out.

The families of the sailors who came back also supported the injured family members into the pavilion of the dock.

After an hour, everyone gradually calmed down. The rest of the crew began to tell the story of what had happened......
