Wielding the long sword in his hand, he cut down the tall barren grass that stood in the way,

Wren and his twenty sailors made their way up the hill near the camp with great difficulty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He had planned to climb to the top of the mountain before noon to eat, but he underestimated the difficulty of this barren mountain.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and they were still wandering halfway up the mountain.

The water bladder he brought was half empty, and his stomach was already uncomfortable.

Wren had to order to rest in place and eat enough before continuing.

Although the progress was much slower than the original plan, I still felt very relieved to look at the passage that had opened all the way.

You can also see the far area from the height of the mountainside, and take advantage of the time when the big guy is resting.

Wren found a large rock, climbed it, and pulled out the monoculars he had been carrying with him.

First checked the situation of the camp near the mountain, Diskai commanded in an orderly manner, and the camp was already in shape.

At night, you can safely lie in the tent and sleep comfortably by the campfire.

Then move the glasses to the woods in front of the camp, although the view is obscured by the leafy trees,

But in the gap between the trees, Wren still found the figure of the third team responsible for finding medicinal herbs.

The telescope barrel continued to move forward, and in the dense barren grass, the first team of men was armed with bows and arrows and spears.

They are scattering to drive away a few wild boars.

At the back, there were five warriors with spears guarding the few prey they had hunted.

It seems that they are making good progress and have already reaped today's dinner.

Wren moved his glasses farther into the wilderness, where the tail of the second team could be seen.

They are about to go deep into the mountains and forests in the middle of the desert island.

Good luck to them!

Wren meditated in his heart, took the monocular back, and hung it back on his waist.

Climb down the rock and return to the resting place of the sailors who had been brought with you, and call everyone to continue walking up the mountain.

In any case, it is necessary to open the road today and observe the surrounding terrain from the top of the mountain, so that everyone can easily travel and provide warning the next day.

The tall weeds weren't the biggest obstacle to the way, the thorny bushes were.

These shrubs are waist-high but difficult to navigate, and their spiky and tough branches must be cut down.

The remaining half of the trail remained the same, and when it came time to finally climb to the top, everyone had a sense of triumphant joy.

It's not easy, although it seems simple, but today everyone at least can't wield tens of thousands of swords.

Not to mention the backache, my feet are also sore, and I don't bother to move my butt when I touch the ground.

Wren rested and got up, came to the edge of the cliff, and looked out into the sea direction, which was really a wide view.

Seeing that the sun had set, Wren did not delay any longer, and instructed the sailors to clean up some of the bushes and leaves that had been cut down before, and build a simple wind and fire platform on the top of this mountain.

He then pulled out a white cloth and a strip of charcoal, and drew a simple map on the white cloth while observing the surrounding terrain with a telescope.

He was busy until the sun went down and couldn't see it, when Wren finished drawing the map and called the sailors down the mountain to return to the camp with him.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the camp, I could already smell the aroma of barbecued meat, which should be the prey brought back by the hunting team.

Wren, who was already hungry, dismissed the sailors and let them move freely, and he found a place to cook by the fragrance.

Can't wait for the sailor who grilled the meat to cut a slice for him.

Wren asked the sailors to bring the roasted meat to the ship first, and at the same time put the herbs collected today on the dinghy.

After the four dinghys returned from their mission, the entire camp began to eat.

At this time, the second team that had gone out to find fresh water had also returned, and Wren asked several captains to come to his tent after eating.

Inside the Rennes tent

Several team leaders successively reported on today's mission.

In total, the first team hunted eight wild boars, ten wild deer, and thirty-seven hares.

At supper, he ate six wild boars, two wild deer, and twenty hares.

The second team has already found the exact location of the fresh water and is waiting to be shipped back tomorrow.

The third team did not find any minor herbs, except for the two minor herbs, and the main herbs indicated by the ship's doctor were found.

And the sailors who collect today are already experienced, and tomorrow they can collect enough to come back.

At the same time, Mr. Hoferdent also reported that they found large patches of edible wild herbs that could be stored for a long time after drying.

Mr. Hofdent suggested that some men should be sent to collect them.

After listening to all the squad debriefings, Wren made a decision.

In view of the fact that the tasks of the three squads were well completed, the original captain continued to lead the team on the next day's mission.

Mr. Hofdent took Wren's suggestion and sent a dozen men from the camp's idle sailors to gather wild vegetables.

At the same time, all three teams have increased their manpower to get as much food, water, and herbs as possible.

Finally, Wren also instructed the first team to help collect some of the beast's dried dung for the release of wolf smoke at the top of the mountain.

After a busy day, everyone was very tired, and Wren didn't leave a few captains to talk more, so that everyone went back to have a good rest.

He hurried to make a few topographical maps of the desert island overnight, and then plunged into the grass and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Wren was woken up by the busy sounds of the camp's sailors, who were already preparing the items needed for their respective missions as planned.

The hardest part of today's trip was the second team transporting fresh water, who had to use wooden carts to carry barrels across most of the desert island.

Wren handed over the map he had drawn last night to several captains for backup, and he still returned to the top of the mountain with the ten sailors he had drawn yesterday.

This time, thanks to the road they had opened up earlier, they quickly reached the top of the mountain.

Wren instructed several sailors to build a shelter and light a fire in a shelter on the top of the mountain.

As soon as there is a situation, take the fire from the fire and light the wolf smoke.

The day passed quickly, and everything went smoothly as planned.

The first team made two trips back and forth, and brought back a lot of fresh water, which could be drunk for three or four days.

The second team has more experience and more manpower, and this time they have brought back more prey.

Roasting and marinating these prey is enough to last for five or six days without a little food.

The three teams collected a lot of herbs, enough to be on the ship's side for a while.

Sailors who went to pick wild vegetables also collected a staggering number of wild vegetables, which are now spread out in designated places in the camp to dry.

It will soon be ready to be transported back to the ship for storage.

On the third day, the three teams went to collect wild vegetables, and the other two teams continued to do what they had done for the first two days.

Now they don't have to worry about food and water, and they can continue to sail as long as the plague is dealt with on board.

The ship's doctor has sent someone to bring back the good news, the medicinal properties of the herbs have taken effect, and the condition of the infected patient has improved.

It will take about three days before everyone can go back to the ship.

Hearing the news, everyone's morale was high, and the harvest was much richer than the previous two days.

On the fourth day, Wren canceled the third team and reduced the number of people in the first team, concentrating all the men on getting fresh water.

The fresh water collected in the first two days is barely enough for a week, but it takes about ten days to sail to the destination port.

And staying on a desert island for a few days still needs to consume drinking water.

Wren still took the sailors to the top of the hill to check the surrounding area.

The sea remained calm and no ships were found.

Then the telescope looks at the situation inside the desert island.

The team that went to carry fresh water pushed wooden carts and barrels, which were easy to find.

Then there are the hunting teams, who are already very experienced and can quickly subdue their prey when they see it.

After checking the wilderness around the team with his binoculars and seeing nothing dangerous, Wren turned the telescope back to sea again.

He saw planks floating on the sea.

Follow the planks to see some barrels, then the wreckage of the wooden boat.

Shipwreck!

Wren didn't know when the wreckage was, he was far away from the observation point, and he couldn't see if there were any victims around.

Under normal circumstances, Wren would have asked the Dragon Eagle to get closer to see if there were any survivors.

But now most of the people on board the Dragon Eagle are sick, and it is not easy to move the ship casually.

Wren could only pray that the god of Otian would bless the survivors from the other ships, where the wreckage had only been washed by the waves from elsewhere.

After a few more observations of the wreckage, he made sure that there were no dinghys, and Wren stopped paying attention to the broken wood.

As the telescope turned back to the desert island, Wren noticed two boats parked on a beach in the distance.

Wren had been sure that there were no ships there, and there were mountains blocking the other side of the desert island, so if the ships were coming from the other side, he really wouldn't be able to find out.

Wren pulled the barrel of the telescope to the longest, now the maximum multiple, and he could see the shape of the ship.

It was two destroyer-class warships, the hull was somewhat damaged, and a black flag was hung on the top of the mast, and the pattern on the flag was too far to be seen.

Corsair?!

Wren considered whether to light the wolf smoke.

The other party is still far away from them, and they must not have discovered their existence yet.

Now rashly set off wolf smoke, the other party will definitely find out, so that his whereabouts will be exposed.

Wren called six sailors, one of whom told him to go straight down to inform the camp below.

Wren, the other five sailors, chose one to be the team leader, let him use a telescope to see the location of the hunting team and the water carrying team, and then took the other four people directly to inform the two teams to return.

Wren continued to observe the two pirate ships with a telescope at the top of the mountain.

The other party had already set up camp near the beach, and Wren looked at the two teams outside, not knowing anything about the pirates on the beach a few kilometers away from them.

It takes an hour to go up the mountain, half an hour to go down the mountain at the earliest, and another hour to catch up with two teams when you go down the mountain.

Wren put away his binoculars and waited patiently.

Half an hour passed, and Wren took out his binoculars again to check the situation of the team in the distance.

only to find that the pirates had also sent an expedition team, estimated to be about 100 people, slowly exploring and advancing in the direction of the center of the desert island.

At this direction and speed, in another twenty minutes they will find the water convoy.

There was no time to hesitate, and Wren ordered the four sailors on standby to light two piles of wolf smoke to warn the water carrier.
