Ten Odin naval warships docked offshore, dropped a dozen longboats and came to the island, and more than 300 sailors guarded the fleet commander, a rear admiral. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Beside the rear admiral, stood a white-bearded old mage in a gorgeous mage robe, looking kind and kind, but a glimmer of light flashed between his eyes from time to time.

Rear Admiral Jackson was very respectful to the old mage with the white beard, "What do you think of us staying on this island for half a day to look for supplies?"

The Rear Admiral is a prominent figure and would not be so respectful to ordinary mages, but this white-bearded old mage is not a commoner, but a worship mage of the Empire's prominent nobleman "White Panther" Grand Duke, enjoying a transcendent status.

The empire has ten dukes, and like Husher Hanton Wilson, the Grand Duke of the White Panther has his own principality, and the family has produced a strong guardian, and his status among the nobility is very noble.

The white-bearded old mage said lightly: "Half a day is too long, give you two hours, Your Excellency the Grand Duke has indicated that you want the body of the mimic to be used as alchemy material, don't let go of the prey." ”

Jackson nodded, his fleet was pursuing Ivo in the service of the Grand Duke of the White Panther, and he didn't mind following the orders of the old mage with the white beard.

The goals of the White Panther Grand Duke and the empire are not the same, what the Grand Duke wants is Ivo's body, and the information that the mimicry reappears in the world has been known by the top forces, including some people with ulterior motives, who covet the value of the mimetic body's body in alchemy, and the Grand Duke of the White Panther is one of them, he gave orders to Jackson and the white-bearded old mage to capture Ivo alive as much as possible, and the value of the mimetic body to maintain the vitality is even higher.

Ten naval warships, with a total number of more than 2,000 people, required a huge amount of supplies, and the sailors who came ashore quickly collected supplies, went deep into the island, and gradually approached the other side of the island......

......

Stepping on the beach, the arch of the foot sinks deep into the soft sand, which is pleasant to the touch and a little itchy.

Finally landed on the shore, Ivo couldn't help but relax, and the sailors did not hesitate, after tying up the longboat, they ran on the beach to vent.

The sea turtles on the beach moved slowly, away from the uninvited guests, and the baby turtles lying on the back of the mother turtle looked curiously at the upright creatures.

Seabirds fluttered up and landed among the treetops, tilting their heads to observe humans, as if they thought the sailors were stupid running around on the beach.

Hades looked at the sky and said expressionlessly: "It's noon, and we have four hours to collect resources." ”

Ivo nodded, calling the two dozen sailors to the front to assign work.

"This island is the last stop before we enter the Divine Hope Ocean, we have to gather enough resources on this island, and divide into four teams, Gordo with five men to find water, Yamo with fifteen men to hunt and collect edible plants by the way, shipwright brothers, you take twenty men to collect wood, stock up on ship repair materials and materials for making ballista ammunition, and the rest are on guard. ”

The sailors looked at each other, "What are you doing, captain?"

Ivo said righteously: "Of course I'm going for a walk!"

The sailors cried out in grief, "What a treacherous captain!"

"Don't talk nonsense, get to work!" Ivo kicked Yamo in the ass, driving the lazy guys to work.

Yamo clutched his ass and wanted to cry without tears, why did he only kick me alone.

As the sailors gather supplies, Ivo and Hades walk along the coastline, ready to explore the island and chat.

Hades: "If we get as bad as this month in the future, the development forces you are talking about will be far away. ”

Ivo didn't care, "The Emerald Sea is controlled by the Odin Empire, so it's naturally more dangerous. To develop power on the sea, all we need is manpower, equipment, and ships, and there are always some places in the thirteen seas of the world that have not been divided by forces, except for the North Continent and the Odin continent, the seas near Carthage, Muir and Abraham can be used for my development. Before I landed in Abraham, I had to build a sufficient number of fighters, and I couldn't just recruit sailors, so I had to control a few islands as temporary strongholds, recruit new people, train and develop, and build a self-sufficient resource chain, and we still had a lot of work to do. ”

Hades shook his head, "If you want to fulfill your vision, you can only do it by controlling the resources of a sea area, that is, becoming a pirate king." ”

"Thirteen seas, but there are only seven pirate kings, and one more is nothing. ”

Hades nodded expressionlessly, "That's right." ”

A pirate king like Rothschild, who controls a sea area and has inexhaustible resources, is Ivo's temporary goal, and only after accumulating enough power on the sea can he have the capital to carry out the next stage, establish a base camp in Abraham, and even establish a power on Abraham that is not inferior to the state.

Hades asked, "What do you do when you have enough power?"

"Not doing good things anyway. Ivo shrugged his shoulders and said in a casual tone, "Like bombing all the ports of the Odin Empire or something." ”

"You want to get revenge on the world?" Hadiston paused, looking at Ivo, "I don't think you're a person who would do such a boring thing." ”

Ivo smiled and didn't answer, he was both to protect himself and to bring fear to the world, and the resurgence of the catastrophe would be dangerous, and Ivo always felt a little hung by himself.

He has always disliked the gods on high, but he is not as hostile as the pope and the patriarch or the unbeliever, and the relationship between the gods and man in his eyes is very simple, that is, the relationship between the upper and lower levels of the food chain.

Just like humans domesticate sheep to collect wool, and the gods breed humans in captivity to collect beliefs, everything is the law of the jungle in nature, and opposition is innate.

Human beings' belief in the gods is like the dependence of pets on their owners, and this is Ivo's idea, tearing away all the whitewash and going straight to the core, which is all the jungle of nature.

The nature of rebellion against the gods and the battles of the ancient ancestors against the beasts is exactly the same, all in order to reach the top of the food chain.

It took countless years for humanity to reach the upper reaches of the food chain, and those who exist further upstream are inherently enemies of humanity.

It doesn't matter about any morality, principles, thoughts, it's an instinct that is engraved in the blood of human beings.

For a species to survive, it must keep climbing up the food chain until there are no natural predators.

Ivo smiled helplessly, as if he was not a human now, not only was he opposed to the gods, but he also had no sense of belonging to humans.

Looking at oneself beyond any pros and cons, calculating oneself is just a life that follows instinct and struggles, beyond any cause and reason.

Hades glanced at Ivo deeply, looked back at the front, and said lightly: "Ivo, promise me one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

"If one day in the future, I am no longer me, kill me. ”

Ivo was slightly stunned, and Hades quickened his pace, leaving him with only a silent back.
