In the jungle.

Ji Chen walked in front with more than fifty pirates, and Willow and a dozen of them followed.

The jungle around him grew more and more lush, and the dampness made them feel sticky, and the water invaded the leather boots on the soles of his feet, and the sharp branches like knives and spears cut his clothes into tatters.

Not long after entering the jungle, Willow lost his sense of direction and could only follow Ji Chen and the others.

While this terrible thing made him scold, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

If there is no one to lead the way, it will be difficult to find a territory in such a labyrinthine jungle.

But he didn't forget to leave some traces along the way – a special Hanseatic powder that is usually invisible to the naked eye during the day, but at night it is possible to see the glowing powder with special glasses.

Seeing that he was getting deeper and deeper, but Ji Chen didn't speak along the way, with an indifferent look, Willow felt a little uneasy in his heart.

After thinking about it, he pretended to be calm and said, "Your Excellency, how long do we have to go?" We've got..."

"We're here."

At this time, the lush jungle came to an end, and the eyes suddenly opened up.

The next moment, a look of shock flashed across Willow's face.

A vast territory appeared in front of me.

Smooth stone squares, neat houses, inhabitants, tall warehouses, unaware of the recruitment camp.

He didn't expect that such a prosperous territory would exist in such a jungle.

But soon, a flash of greed and ecstasy flashed in Willow's eyes.

This territory soon belonged to the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce... Ah no, it belongs to Lord Ghassani.

Ji Chen turned around and pointed to the right, "The territory has limited housing, so you can live in those two houses tonight."

Willow looked down and saw two dilapidated thatched huts.

I suddenly wanted to scold in my heart.

I'm a guest!

Let's not talk about the best house, at least give it a shelter from the elements, right?

What kind of awareness is given to these two thatched huts with leaky roofs and broken walls!?

"Your Excellency, isn't there better housing there?" His face was slightly unnatural, and he pointed to the rows of rather luxurious cottages.

Ji Chen looked at him with a slight surprise, "That's where my people live." ”

Since the lowly lords should vacate their houses!

Willow shouted frantically in his heart, the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce is a famous chamber of commerce in the Western Continent, where is every member not treated as a VIP?

Even if he was only one of the members, was there anything wrong with driving out some of the lowly lords to live with them?

Although he was angry, he barely managed to put a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, you really love your people like a son, and it is an extremely fortunate thing to be your lord."

At this time, a few people who walked by next to them heard these words, and immediately straightened their chests proudly.

"Needless to say, the lord is our savior, and without him, we would have died in this jungle long ago."

"With such a lord, you can resist and kill all invaders, and build a great territory."

Willow's face was stunned, but his heart was a little angry.

Isn't that just scolding them?

These people dare to speak outrageously, and when they occupy this territory, they will throw you into the sea to feed the fish!

He thought viciously to himself.

Watching them walk towards the thatched house, Ji Chen reminded them as if he remembered something.

"Be careful not to go to the beach at night, there may be sea monsters there at night, but you don't know how to worry, I've got people stationed there... Dinner will be delivered to you. ”

Willow nodded hurriedly, "We get it." ”

Closing the tattered door, one of his subordinates whispered with some concern.

"Lord Willow, do you think he's starting to doubt our identity? We're 'Raymond's men', and we're not going to put guests in this kind of housing anyway, are we?" ”

"I think so too, and the lord looks very indifferent, not like the attitude of receiving guests..."

Saying this, Willow also began to be suspicious, his face was shocked, but finally gritted his teeth and said.

"We didn't show any flaws along the way, and this suspicion should have only arisen when we didn't see Raymond himself.

Think about it, if a deal that was promised before suddenly changes to the person, will you be vigilant? ”

As he spoke, he began to believe it a little.

"There's some truth to what you're saying, I feel like that's it!"

"Your Excellency is mighty, worthy of being the smartest helper under the command of Lord Ghassani!"

One by one, his subordinates began to pat their ass, making Willow fluttering.

"My lord, I just secretly observed the strength of this territory, except for those pirates, but I don't seem to see the xenomorph warriors that Raymond mentioned?

In that case, are we going to go according to what we planned? ”

Willow touched his chin, and his face showed disdain, "Anyway, those xenomorph warriors are only second-order 5-star troops at most, plus those pirates, there are at most about a hundred,

We have hundreds of elite chamber of commerce guards, and we will proceed according to the original plan! There will be garrisons on the other side of the beach, so let's wait until late at night to quietly return the same way from the jungle and inform the two warships to come in! ”

"Now that we know the location of this territory and the lord, and we choose to raid in the middle of the night, with our strength, we will definitely be able to take it easily!"

After saying that, he had a look of certainty on his face.

"My lord's ingenuity, I can't praise it enough!"

"You must be the biggest contributor to this operation!"

...

In the Lord's Mansion.

"My lord, since you already know that the group of people are fakes, why don't you catch them right now?"

Willus said with a puzzled expression.

Ji Chen shook his head unhurriedly and said, "Going to the net now will only alarm other enemies, what I want is to catch all the enemies at once." ”

"You mean that you want to trick all the enemies on those ships into coming here and then catch them all?"

Things have to go back to the time when Ji Chen finished exploring the site of the large water village, and found a ship approaching the Crescent Islands through the lighthouse.

Just when he thought it was Raymond coming.

The early warning lighthouse detected three more ships, which did not follow the first ship closer, but stopped at a distance invisible to the naked eye on the archipelago.

Later, when he saw that it was not Raymond who had disembarked from the first ship, but someone else.

He knew in an instant that this group of people was not good.

The biggest possibility is that they want to occupy the Crescent Islands.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen took a deep breath.

What he didn't want to think about before finally happened.

The Crescent Islands are located in the stormy sea, and the stormy sea is located near the busy shipping routes, which naturally has geographical advantages.

Even if you don't do anything, just build a port here, you can collect berth fees, sell food and fresh water and make a fortune.

But the huge benefits are accompanied by the greed of others, and sooner or later the Crescent Islands will be coveted by others.

He was already mentally prepared for this, but he just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

As soon as the first guest was released, Raymond, he came back and encountered something like this.

I don't know what Raymond's situation is now, if he's really sick, or if there's something else going on.

But this group of people is not here to trade... That's the enemy.

"That's right." Ji Chen paced up in the room,

"Since the enemy wants to attack the territory, according to this situation, it should be secretly left at night to ventilate the news, and raid in the middle of the night."

"Then we will plan it out and prepare a welcome ceremony for them."

Willus nodded thoughtfully, although he didn't know what the welcome ceremony was specifically that Lord Lord was talking about, it shouldn't be a good thing.

Night.

The territory fell silent.

There was a snoring sound from the house, and the chirping of insects in the jungle.

The dilapidated thatched hut was suddenly and slowly pushed open, and a head poked its head out sneakily, and was relieved to see that there was no one around.

He turned around and whispered, "There's no one outside." ”

Willow nodded, beckoned his men to lower his pace, and walked into the jungle not far away.

Ji Chen stood in the jungle on the other side, looking at their disappearing figures, a touch of coldness appeared on his face.

Following the traces of powder left behind, Willow and his party returned all the way back to the tidal flats, and drove the boat back to the boat.

Ordered immediately.

"I've found the location of that lord and the territory, notify the other ships."

Hearing this, the three elite caravan guards ran to the cabin, took out a few special peregrine falcons cultivated by the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce, and stuffed small notes into the letterheads at their feet.

With a wave of his hand, the peregrine falcon leaped up and flew off into the distance.

An hour later, three ships that had received the news had quietly sailed over from the open sea to join the Willow Brothers.

Put down more than a dozen small boats, and send the chamber of commerce guards on board to the beach one by one.

The process took two hours.

Looking at the hundreds of heavily armed chamber of commerce guards in front of him, Willow's confidence at this time had swelled to the extreme.

With such a powerful force, pushing that territory sideways is simply a small matter.

And when the time comes, he will also become a hero of the entire Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce!

These elite chamber guards are not something he can call on in normal times, and they can only be used after the consent of many members of the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce.

【I'm not a Canadian electric eel】

In his eyes, the strength of these guards was unquestionable.

Suppress the excitement and excitement in your heart.

Willow said in a low voice: "All of you keep your pace down, reduce your movements, we are about to raid the target territory, and kill all the lords and enemy troops, leaving no one behind." ”

No guards answered, but the bloodlust and cruelty in their eyes showed their thoughts.

Seeing this, Willow nodded with satisfaction, and let the general chamber of commerce guards walk into the jungle with his hand, and then he followed, and finally the other half of the guards.

The Chamber of Commerce guards lined up in a dragon hundreds of meters long in the path, and walked into the endless dark jungle, as if they had stepped into the mouth of a giant beast.

Just as they were halfway there.

The jungle on both sides suddenly had a violent fluctuation of energy, and then hundreds of fierce water arrows shot into them like cannonballs.

The head and tail of the dragon, which were hundreds of meters long, were attacked, and the violent explosion made all the elite chamber guards feel like they were facing a great enemy.

Seeing this scene, Willow's face instantly turned pale.

How did he not react at this point? They were discovered!

Looking at the jungle on both sides, he could only see darkness, and there was no trace of the enemy at all, and a panic could not help but arise in his heart.

But soon he gritted his teeth and shouted in a fierce voice: "Counterattack the enemy with crossbow arrows!" ”

Some of the guards raised their crossbows and shot blindly into the jungle, hoping to hear the screams of the enemy.

But to their disappointment, the bolts disappeared silently as if they had been shot into the water, without even remembering the slightest sound.

At this point, the sound of insects becomes louder.

After a brief pause, another round of water arrows was fired, and the violent explosion caused even the heavily armed guards to be covered in scaly wounds, and many of them had already fallen to the ground.

Not only that, but a trident with amazing impact was shot out of the jungle, instantly piercing the armor of the guards and nailing them to the trees.

In the darkness, they could not see how many enemies there were, only that they could see that their companions were either killed by water arrows or pinned to the number by tridents.

The explosion was accompanied by the sound of grass swaying and the sound of something squirming.

In the darkness, a tall Naga warrior rushed out with a terrifying bone blade and slammed into it like a chariot with full power.

The sharp bone blade waved, and the dead heads flew into the sky, and the body that lost its head slowly fell to the ground, and blood gushed out frantically.

Seeing this, Willow's face turned even paler, and his hands and feet trembled unconsciously as he looked at the massacre-like scene in front of him.

The fear in my heart reached its peak at this moment.

Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his crotch, looked down, and found that he had peed out.

This warmth shocked his spirits, and he didn't care about this, so he ran directly into the jungle with a few of his subordinates.

The enemy is blocking the front and rear, and it will definitely not work to return the same way, and now there is only a chance of survival in the jungle.

Staggering through the dense jungle, it really made Willow and the others run out and into the tidal flats.

Hurriedly boarded a small boat and swam hard in the direction of the big ship.

Out of danger for the time being, Willow's mood stabilized.

Thinking of the embarrassed appearance before, a sense of shame welled up in my heart.

Especially when he peed his pants, he felt that several of his subordinates looked at him a little strangely.

Damn it!

He wants to leave here immediately and return to the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce, and ask the Chamber of Commerce to bring more guards to take revenge for today.

Slowly approaching the big ship, he was just thinking about climbing onto the deck, but he saw hideous figures on the side of the ship.

At this time, a strong smell of blood came to my nose.

Suddenly, Willow's mind went blank, and fear came back to him.

On it together
