Chapter 54: The Soldiers Are Divided into Two Ways
The mages watched as two sub-boats carrying the warlords were lowered into the sea, and they only had to paddle a short section to reach the island. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info According to the original plan, in order to achieve the most realistic effect, Mason should be taken to the island, so that everyone except Saza, Aaron, and Kiriel would think that the shipowner was taken prisoner as a hostage. However, now considering that an old man would be a liability, and that no one would want to protect this unkind fellow, the war cadets unanimously agreed to keep him in the utility compartment.
"Don't mess up, little mages!" Aaron's voice reached Saza's ears through the wind and waves.
Perhaps they couldn't make the same loud voice as the other party, and the mages didn't say anything in return, just stood on the deck and watched the two boats drift apart.
Until they can't be seen, "Okay, let's go ahead with the plan for a while, leave one person here and wait for their signal." Let's go to the cabin with me. Saza said.
No one had a problem, and Saza had been tacitly appointed to the leader of the mages during this operation, and his arrangement was naturally accepted, and Wallon stayed on deck, keeping an eye on the island with his binoculars.
As soon as the few people entered the hatch, Mason spoke first: "If it is useful for Aaron to keep this guy, it is better for him to take it away quickly, I think he will fall asleep in a while." He pointed to the young chicken trapped on the side and said, seeing that there were other people who immediately restrained him, after all, he was still a prisoner in the eyes of others.
"He's actually rowing to the island," Saza said, "and this guy is going to follow me." ”
Hearing Saza's words, Mason was silent for a while, and now that there were outsiders next to him, it was inconvenient for him to express his true opinion: "Then take him away quickly." ”
Saza first looked at Qili'er on the side, she was still sleeping peacefully, I wonder if the people in her family will find out that this eldest lady has sneaked out of the house, if so, then maybe the security team of the whole town is now all over the town.
On the other side, Ives poked the tender chicken on the ground with his foot, his treatment was not even as good as that of a captive, it is estimated that everyone disliked those begging for mercy, and this guy's mouth was also tightly gagged with a cloth.
Saza walked up to him and patted the other man's face, and as Mason said, this guy would probably fall asleep a little later.
When the young chicken woke up, he struggled and squeaked and whined, and he didn't have to think about it to know what he would say.
"If you don't speak, I'll help you take out the cloth from your mouth, or I'll gag you again, understand?" Saza asked, he didn't have to be so polite, but he didn't find it any fun to bully such a person.
After seeing the other party nod violently in agreement, Saza pulled out the cloth from his mouth and threw it aside, which was really disgusting.
"Mage ......"
It's a good thing this guy is silent, otherwise Saza would have really gotten up and picked up that disgusting mass of cloth. "I say, listen, you are not allowed to speak when you are not allowed to speak, understand?" he commanded.
After waiting for a long time, Saza couldn't help but pat the tender chicken's head: "Now let you reply!"
"Got it, Master Mage, it's really ......."
"Master Mage" patted him on the head again, "Shut up now!"
"Hahaha. The few people watching over there couldn't help but be happy, and they all couldn't stop laughing when they saw Saza's unkind face.
After adjusting his mood for a while, Saza continued to say to the tender chicken: "Listen, you have to follow us tonight, and when the time comes, you will use your one-in-a-million combat skill," this is true, the appearance rate of crisis trembling is extremely low, most of them are comprehended through talent, even if there is a combat skill prototype, no one will want it. "If any danger comes near, warn me, or I swear you'll die sooner than we do. Got it?"
"Understood. ”
At this point, the tender chicken really understands how to answer. And Avis slapped the tender chicken's head again: "Missed Master Mage." He realized something only after feeling the stunned gazes of the others, and grinned a little awkwardly.
Just then, Wallon pushed open the hatch: "Saza, I think you should come and see this." Even he, who usually likes to speak slowly, is now in a somewhat anxious tone, which makes everyone feel that something is wrong.
"Take him with you. Saza pointed to the tender chicken, and then followed Wallon.
On deck, you don't need a telescope to see the distant fire, and it's quite conspicuous in the dark. "What's going on?" asked Saza.
"It's not good, the pirates have set up an ambush in this direction, and a lot of people are hurting, and I don't think they can handle it. Wallon said, handing over the binoculars.
"What now, is it still going according to plan?" Royce asked Saza, who had followed, and it was time for him to make a decision.
After taking the binoculars, Saza didn't look at it, and no matter how much he looked at it, the situation would not get any better.
There is some way out of the current situation and plan, according to the plan, Aaron is attracting fire from the front, and Saza leads the mages to find Sean and them, and then turn back to support Aaron. As it stands, the cadets do attract frontal fire, but whether they can carry Saza back to support them is another story.
"Let's go to the island to help!" suggested Avis, who, along with Royce and Carl, had arrived with the tender chickens.
"No," Philp vetoed, "don't you remember what the red hair said? ”
Most of the fire mages were impatient, and Carl couldn't help but say, "Trust me, buddy. When everyone is dead, no one will sit down with you and talk about the situation. ”
"Alright, be quiet!" said Saza, who was the organizer of the operation. "Tell me, how sure are you that you'll be able to deal with those pirates after you support them?"
Philp seemed to hear what he meant: "You want to ......"
"Just answer my question!" Saza interrupted loudly, and the scene fell silent.
Several people looked at each other, and finally it was Philp who answered the question: "100% sure." ”
"Okay. You five, get ready to go to the island!" said Saza resolutely.
"Wait, wait, you mean you're going to go around the pirate's den alone to save people?" Ives would have understood.
Saza no longer hid it: "I'm only fifty percent sure, will you believe me?" he looked into everyone's eyes, in fact, this decision was just his own adventure, but everyone was part of the plan, and he had to ask everyone's opinion.
Eventually, all five nodded in agreement.
"Action!" Saza announced.
Soon with the help of the sailors on board, the five got into the boat.
"Good luck!"
"Of course, good luck!"
After a brief goodbye, the boat was lowered into the sea and rowed towards the island. And Saza didn't have time to watch them, he had more important things to do. "Let the driver drive west. He said to the sailor beside him.
"Yes, Your Excellency. The sailor replied. Thanks to Mason's instructions, the entire crew of the ship is now at his disposal. What's more, it was a mage who had killed people.
Turning around, Saza noticed the man who was still on the deck, the tender chicken. He walked over and pulled out his dagger.
"Master Mage......
"Shut up! I'm going to untie you!" he couldn't untie the complicated knot, but the dagger was better to use, and he cut the rope on the tender chicken in two or three strokes.
The freed tender chicken rubbed his joints and looked at Saza with some puzzlement, he just wanted to say some words of thanks, but he remembered that he didn't have that power for the time being, so he honestly clenched his mouth.
"Listen, young chicken," said Saza after a moment of silence, "First of all, let me tell you plainly, you won't be able to reach Tidal Harbor on this ship. ”
He saw the other party nodding, and then continued: "Originally, in your red-haired boss's plan, you were going to follow me and my classmates to the island, but you should have seen it too. Something went wrong, and now I have to go to the island alone. In this case, I can't guarantee your safety, so I won't take you to the island. As for why I'm untying you now, I just want to tell you that you're outside of this action now. You can find a cabin to sleep in, and whether we succeed or fail, you will return to Tinghai Town safely. ”
Thinking that he had done a good deed, Saza was about to leave, but was stopped by a call, "Master Mage!"
"What's the matter?"
"May I ask who you are going?" asked the young chicken weakly, feeling that the question had more or less crossed the line.
However, in Saza's current mood, he didn't mind answering the question: "My father. ”
"Good luck, sir. ”
Saza nodded and walked away, not thinking much about it.
When the ship had sailed some distance west, the ship tried to make its way to the island, but for the sake of safety, the merchant ship finally stopped at a distance from the island. The sailors were also ready to hoist the only remaining boat.
After thinking about it, and realizing that there was nothing to explain, Saza flipped into the boat, and was about to ask the sailors to put the boat into the sea when a cry sounded.
"Wait for me!" "Wait for me," it turned out to be a tender chicken, "Master Mage, will you please let me go with you?"
Saza's request did surprise him, "Are you sure you're not joking? Again, he emphasized.
"No problem, sir!" the young chicken's attitude was surprisingly resolute.
"Okay, come over here. Saza stretched out his hand and said, to be honest, he really didn't understand what this guy was thinking, not long ago he was shamelessly saying so many stupid things in order to make a living, and now he actually took the initiative to ask to follow him to the island. He didn't think it was because of his kindness that he had just changed him.
The boat was slowly lowered into the sea. "Then start paddling to the shore!" he threw a wooden paddle to the tender chicken.
"My lord, I'm asking to join the operation now, so if I succeed in rescuing your father, I believe I'll get paid?" asked the young chicken cautiously as he rowed the boat.
It turned out that it was for this, Saza was a little relieved, he thought about the Mason family's mansion and nodded without hesitation, if the other party really played a role in the action, what if he paid some compensation? To be honest, if he was the only one, he was really worried about how much time he would have to spend on the island.
At high tide, the water is not very friendly, and the boat slowly paddles towards the shore in the undulations. It was about twenty minutes before the two reached the shore. And now there is no time to care about the little boat anymore, so it stops everywhere, and it may not be long before it will float away with the water.
"Tender chicken. Stepping on some muddy ground, Saza said suddenly.
"What's the matter, sir?"
"What's your real name?"
"Monchi Torrentor. He replied in a small voice, but Saza heard it.
After taking a deep breath, Saza said, "Well, Monchi, whatever your purpose, you're helping me. Well, forget about the previous thing. Saza Ilanor, happy to work with, Monchi. He held out his hand.
The somewhat rough hand reached out after a moment of hesitation and took it into the mage's slender hand, "Thank you, my lord. ”
Only he knew that what made him feel that he went to the island this time was actually entirely because of Saza's kindness, but not because of repaying or anything like that. It's just that if that kindness is meant to send him back to the land of nightmares, then even if he dies, he must not return empty-handed.
