"Tut"~~~~ The sharp whistle sounded on the beach of Swordfish Island, and the last dinghy left the beach and headed for the five medium-sized sailing boats moored on the sea. On the dinghy that left, the old captain was still looking back frequently, reluctantly looking at the floating boat that had been close to him for ten years, and he didn't know if he would have the opportunity to fly over the Yala world again after he left this time.

Contrary to those who left, there was also a group of people who traveled in reverse in a dinghy and landed on Swordfish Island from five rescue boats, mercenaries hired by the Chamber of Commerce on a makeshift basis to keep the floating ship safe before the technicians could fix it. Due to time constraints, the first batch of landings was only 300 heavily armed mercenaries, and there are large troops coming one after another, according to the contract, there will be a total of 1,000 mercenary brigades to carry out protection tasks, and the time is expected to last for two months. For this, the Chamber of Commerce will pay a price of 700,000 gold coins, but this is much less than the loss of being stolen by the enemy again.

On the beach, the mercenaries who have landed are not like the ** teams, lined up in a neat queue to listen to the orders of their superiors, this group of mercenaries is just a small team, sitting in a mess on the beach. However, despite the chaos, the resting positions chosen by these experienced mercenaries are actually quite special and seem meaningless, but in fact, each group of mercenaries can sit in a position that can launch an attack on enemies who break into the vicinity of the float from any direction in the shortest possible time.

"Captain Catherine?" A sturdy female swordsman with a height of more than two meters, a well-proportioned figure but bulging muscles under the skin, a scar that runs up and down the right half of the face on his face, but a very short black hair on his head, stood side by side with Catherine: "I'm Bianca, and I bring you Captain Dora's greetings." ”

"The Silver Lion of the Silver Lily Mercenary Regiment, the captain of the First Brigade?" Catherine turned around and looked at the lady who was in the same strength melee class as herself with a non-rude scrutiny, and stretched out her hand with a gentle smile on her face, "It's an honor to meet you, I've heard Dora mention your bravery and straightforwardness many times, and I've always longed to meet you. ”

"Actually, I mentioned my recklessness and impatience, hahahaha. Bianca stretched out her hand to shake Catherine's hand a few times, then scratched her short hair and laughed like a man: "She always says that about me, I'm used to it." ”

"Heh, that's not the case, she secretly admires you very much. Catherine smiled and said, "With you guarding here, we can rest assured." ”

"Your adventuring party is very strong. Bianca nodded to the girls: "With you here, we don't need to be defended at all, you are enough to make the maintenance team of the Transportation Association complete the work safely." ”

"We have other things to do, and we're going to leave in a moment. Catherine did not deny Bianca's assessment, and simply explained: "There are other tasks to be done, so I still have to trouble you all here." But where did you come from? You can be here in time. ”

"Coincidentally, I happened to be in the city of a thousand islands these days. Bianca said: "I am preparing to go to sea with a group of children to take over the second team of Dora. Half of my men have already passed first, but since the head of the regiment has accepted this commission from the Transportation Association, then I can only let Dora stay in the open sea for two more months, and I will hold on for two months with the remaining half of the team. ”

"Poor Dora. Catherine's tone was indistinguishable from whether she was genuinely moved or simply mocked: "It seems that she will only be able to keep company with seabirds for a short time." ”

"Hahahaha. Bianca laughed heartily, her eyes finally fell on Pannis, and she stretched out her hand to pat Pannis's shoulder vigorously, and the banging sound made those who heard it suspect that they were in a blacksmith shop: "You guy is really lucky, you can work together with such gentle and beautiful sisters, I really envy you, why don't we change the two of us?"

"No kidding. Pannis resisted Bianca's slapping like a nail, and said dissatisfiedly: "Please pay attention, organize your own language before speaking." Gentle and beautiful sister?Has this creature ever existed? How come I never found this creature around me? You are also the captain of the 2,000-strong army, and you are responsible for your words and deeds. ”

"Hmm, I'm sorry. Bianca stared at Pannis's face seriously, stopped patting her shoulder, held Pannis's shoulders with both hands, shook it hard before reluctantly letting go, and said with a straight face: "I have to say, I had a wrong opinion about you before." Now I not only envy your good luck, but also admire your bravery, I must tell you, you are the most courageous man I have ever met, hold on, don't die. ”

"Huh?" Pannis shuddered as he felt two small hands suddenly fall on his shoulders, one left and one right. The silver-haired girl pushed her glasses with her middle finger, and the mage girl had an innocent smile on her face, and the two of them each put their hands on the shoulders of Pannis, leaning into his ear, and their voices contained a chill like the snow of winter: "Dear Mr. Pannis, can you help us explain what it means that the creature never existed?"

"Ha, ha, ha, this is a very broad research topic, and I need to elaborate on it for you. Pannis wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, laughed dryly, suddenly shook his shoulders, took off the hands of the two girls and ran forward: "Help!"

"Hahaha. Bianca stroked her short hair, which was almost bald: "Your team is really lively, is it immersed in such happiness every day?"

"Huh. Catherine clasped her hands to her chest and chuckled absently: "Yes, I've been immersed in happiness." ”

"It's coming. "Freya, as a spar gunner, has a unique farsighted ability like an archer, and has a farther field of vision than Catherine. She had been looking out at the sea, and suddenly said, "They're finally back." ”

"It seems that the time of separation is near. Catherine turned to her and said, "Our client is back, and we will soon be leaving for the deep sea, so take care of yourselves." By the way, the opponent who wants to steal the floating ship is very strong, and his strength is comparable to that of a demigod, and I don't know if he will return to steal it, so you must be more careful. ”

"Yes, I understand. Bianca nodded, "He already explained it in detail when he handed over to the captain before. Although he has some concealment about why the other party retreated, I believe that he is not exaggerating in the strength of the other party, and it seems that you have confirmed this. Rest assured, this unit I brought with me is my most elite men, and we will use our lives to ensure the completion of the mission, and we want to snatch the float ship unless we kill all of us, but we are confident that before he kills all of us, he will use the Curse of Blood to set a tracking beacon on him, and then he will be hunted down by the President for the rest of his life. ”

"It's good that you're ready. Catherine shook hands with Bianca again and said goodbye: "When you have the next opportunity, come to the Holy Capital to find us and have a few drinks together." ”

"Of course, it has to be. Bianca curled the corners of her mouth and nodded: "Then so be it, I won't disturb the communication between you and the client, and we will have a chance to meet again in the future, as long as we are still alive." ”

"As long as we're alive. Catherine whispered Bianca's words as she watched the mercenary powerhouse leave.

"Sorry sorry, we're coming back late. The sound of water sounded, and the two Sea Clan ladies came out of the water, and Lanna waved to Catherine: "I didn't have to wait too long. ”

"Of course not, the rescue ship has just left. Catherine said, "The amphibious beads are all brought?"

"Well, I'm sorry, I didn't bring one before. Even though Lamia was apologizing, her voice was still as rigid as a stone: "This time there is enough for everyone to use." ”

"There is no need to apologize, that's not your responsibility. Catherine said, "I didn't inform you in advance that we had an additional member, Freya, to be precise, we are not good ourselves, and you will have to make another trip." ”

"Don't be so polite, get ready to use it now. Lan Na looked at the shore, revealing a troubled expression, coupled with her naturally charming appearance, people couldn't help but feel pity in their hearts: "Father...... No, Mr. Pannis, this is another round of chase?"

"Smack. Catherine slapped her forehead hard, turned around and shouted, "You three, stop playing, get down to business." ”

"Here we are. The two elated girls who were chasing immediately stopped what they were doing and walked towards the sea, only Pannis, who was crying and gasping for breath, carefully distanced himself from them.

"Your bags are all waterproof. After receiving an affirmative answer, Lamia took out five medium-sized backpacks, which were made of soft leather, and the specific material could not be seen, but the dark black surface with scales looked a little mysterious: "This is made of the leather of the deep-sea beast, using water pressure, buoyancy, and the secret art of the sea tribe, although the space expansion rate is only four times, it has almost no weight in the water, but it can only be used in the water." This one for each of you, is used to hold your weapons and armor, after all, in the deep sea, like Miss Catherine, you definitely can't fight in armor. ”

"Thanks, I'm worried about what to do with the armor. Catherine did not have a false politeness, took the most practical packages, and then said, "We are ready to go." ”

"Good. Lan Na rummaged through her fishtail bag, took out five small boxes, and took out a knife and shook it in her hand: "Who came first?"

"I'll do it. Catherine, still wearing a split swimsuit, stepped into the water: "I'm the first." ”

But before her, Pannis had somehow swam to Lanna's side, and had already stood up to Lanna: "I'm the first." (To be continued.) )
