On the morning of the 19th, the territorial waters of the Valstad Empire.

The spy intelligence ship "Black Shrike" slowly approached the port.

The captain put away the brass binoculars: "Brothers, put away the sails and prepare to dock, we are home." ”

Agile sailors quickly climbed the mast and skillfully operated various sail rigging, one of which:

"When I get to land later, I'll have to go to the bath first, my body stinks, my clothes are full of fleas, and I don't want to be disgusted as soon as I get home."

Another quipped; "Dude, I suggest you don't go to the bath yet, hurry home and have a look, and see if your wife has stolen a man!"

"Whew! Look at Lao Tzu can't kill you! ”

"Hahaha." The sailors laughed incessantly, without any disturbance of their work, and in a few moments the black sails were put away and tied.

To enhance the ship's concealment, it was black from bow to stern, with black paint on the hull and black wooden baffles on the windows.

A few nights ago, it was under the cover of the pitch-black hull and black sails of the "Black Shrike Bird" that they secretly sailed away from the port of Capua City at night, and successfully broke through the search of the Kingdom Coast Guard and successfully returned home.

After dropping anchor and docking, the passengers who had been dormant in the cabin for many days were finally able to come out to breathe, most of these poor people had never been on a boat in their lives, and they all suffered from seasickness to varying degrees.

The worst of the patients vomited and diarrhoeated for a week during the bumpy voyage, and their faces were bloodless.

"Hah, sea salt and fishy, familiar smell, and a little bit of seagull droppings, nasty birds!"

Agent Walter Kodiak embraced the air of his homeland with open arms, and said to the leader of the slave rebels beside him:

"Welcome to my home country Valsta, you are all honored guests and will be treated."

Andy Whitefield shielded the blonde girl from the glare of the day's rays to prevent her from staggering, and Vera's injuries were much better, her flickering blue eyes looking back and forth at the strange hand around her

"Here...... Is it the continent of Eulasis? ”

"Yes, kid, this is the territory of the Valstad Empire, and we have crossed the ocean to get here."

"Wow! I can proudly claim to be a traveler! It's really enjoyable! Seasickness was a bit uncomfortable, but I enjoyed the ride, Big Brother Andy...... I want to ask ......"

"Huh?"

"There's no one here to enslave us, right? I had nightmares every night to put my shackles back on. ”

Agent Walter replied, "Silly boy, in Valstad, human trafficking and slavery are felonies punishable by beheading. ”

"Beheaded...... Now, it's terrible......" the girl shuddered, "but now I don't have to worry about being enslaved anymore, I can finally sleep well and no longer be tormented by nightmares." ”

"Poor child, I swear I'll make you feel the warmth of a Valstad gentleman."

Andy snorted and said, "Vera, don't listen to this nonsense, he's buying people's hearts, the purpose is to make us people die for Empress Valsta." ”

Walter laughed, "Haha, you're as poisonous as ever, Mr. Andy, it's not easy to please you. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, son, you promised to get Vera a doctor."

Walter gently tugged at Vera's golden braids: "Of course, our lovely girl will definitely be admitted to the best hospital to recuperate, but before that, we must have a full meal." ”

The agent was clearly not lying, and the surviving backbone members of the slave rebels were taken into a large canteen in the Scales Navy, where the cooks and aunts had already prepared a steaming meal.

There are representative dishes such as crispy apple pie, sausages, garlic broccoli, and fried pork chops.

At the beginning, Andy Whitefield, the leader of the rebels, still maintained a reserved appearance,

He was the champion of the arena, and he never bowed his head in the face of any predicament, but at this moment, stimulated by the smell of food, Andy quickly raised his hand in surrender and gobbled it up like everyone else.

"Oh, Valstarao's craftsmanship is amazing, it's so fragrant!" A volunteer soldier praised.

An aunt who helped in the kitchen sat next to Vera and said distressedly: "Oh, look at this girl, how pitiful!" Eat slowly, kid, no one is taking you for it! ”

After a full meal, they were taken to the port infirmary for medical examination in case they brought infectious diseases or parasites into the country, and then went to the navy baths to bathe and change into the uniform of a naval cadet.

As soon as they walked out of the naval building, they were surrounded by newspaper reporters who had rushed to hear the news.

At this time, Agent Walter also changed into civilian clothes and put on a scale ** suit: "Please get out of the way, there are still people here who need to be observed by the doctor, thank you!" ”

The local residents spontaneously organized a welcome party, the children presented fragrant flowers, the girls and boys sang and danced, and the old people held the flag of the Valsta night owl and the flag of the rebel army and chanted:

"Welcome, unyielding rebels!"

Walter explained to Andy: "We are a fierce people, and the common people worship heroic epics. ”

An elderly slave was moved to tears, he had never been so hospitable all his life, and for the first time in his seventies, he felt the happiness of being born.

Seeing his subordinates bloom one by one, Andy frowned and muttered: "Hmph, these ordinary people also cooperated to play a good show, a good show to buy people's hearts!" This time, though, he had a short mouth, and his muttering voice had changed a lot.

The agent made good on his promise, and Vera was admitted to the military hospital in the curtain, where the child received good rehabilitation, the gunshot wound gradually healed, and his complexion was 1-to-1, and he was soon able to run and play in the garden.

Andy and his rebels were all living in the Navy dormitory building, and it was clear that they had reached the limit of their physical abilities, and they were bedridden except for eating and walking.

Over the course of a week, Andy's attitude towards the Valstad Empire is quietly changing.

(The Varstadians sugar-coated cannonball makes a good move, but it's okay...... Even if you know that you are buying and using, it can be regarded as a lower cost. He thought.

Two more later, Vera recovered and was discharged from the hospital, and Agent Walter arrived at Andy's dormitory:

"Seeing that your complexion has recovered well, it's time to meet the big guys."

"With whom?"

"Imperial Royalty and Cabinet Ministers."

Andy's eyes widened in shock: "Huh? Are you serious? ”

Walter smiled: "Haha, I can't believe it myself, but Your Majesty does want to see you." ”

"Well, I'd like to pay a visit to this legend too."

"Brother, our promises have been fulfilled, you should also give a little face, and say a few kind words for me in front of Your Majesty."

"Okay, I'll promise to meet, but my people must go into the city together, and my stepsister Vera, she must stay with me."

"Good, good...... You stinky slave gladiator is hard to serve! ”

"Hehe, I'm the defending champion of the Blood Arena, the big star of the Solan Kingdom, it's normal to have such a style."

When he said this, Andy Whitefield's expression was already quite relaxed and natural, no longer reserved and defensive.

In fact, he has always felt guilty in his heart, because he has always doubted the actions of the agents, and has never thanked them for saving their lives.

It's hard for a tough guy like him to let go of the words of thanks, so he can only express his gratitude and kindness from a few words.

Walter Kodiak also sensed Andy's change in attitude, and said tentatively:

"How about a handshake?"

"Of course, my friend."
