Anyone who is old enough can see that Mark's [neutrality] is subtle.

He made his fortune by exterminating evil demons, he can kill evil demons for profit, but he will not chase and kill evil demons all over the streets, and he does not belong to the typical camp of good and orderly.

Judging from his style of doing things in Poliva, it is obvious that he has his own moral bottom line, and he will not sacrifice civilians at will to achieve his goals.

Sometimes, he has a flexible moral bottom line.

Although everyone once doubted whether this product was evil and orderly, after looking at it for a long time, they still silently classified it into the category of order neutrality.

Judging from the fact that he chose to pull a handful of the four goddesses of art who were obviously useless in the divine war, he was a typical example of revenge and kindness.

Don't talk about astringency, in the war of the gods, the goddess of art is a typical negative asset. The real strong can completely use violent means to achieve their goals, and there is no need to serve these waste goddesses.

Mark did just that, sheltering not only the goddess of art, but also their devotees.

In the eyes of the major forces, Mark is a complex of contradictions.

He attaches great importance to affection, which is well handled by Knight.

Since the goddesses of music and dance, who had supported Mark's money and a small number of fetishes, could be accepted, why couldn't the twin goddesses?

With blood and family as a bond, the relationship between the twin goddesses and Mark is not insignificant.

Knight and Rodriguez decide to buy insurance for their goddess.

After doing Vivian's job, Albert led the so-called private regiment, which was almost equivalent to an ordinary Knightly Cathar, to the port of San Marino by ship.

Vivien complained, "Can't you go by land? Isn't the sea route safer?"

Albert rubbed his eyebrows, "No, it's the opposite now. It's even less safe by land."

"What's wrong?"

"The entire empire of Latt is in disarray, and only two-thirds of the cities can confirm the situation by receiving and sending telegrams. The towns that were cut off from the news, and the final reports were not good. Both the officials of the Empire and our churches are shrinking their fronts."

Abner frowned, "By sea, can the Lord of the Storm ensure our safety?"

Lord Bishop shook his head, "The recent dynamics of the Storm Church have also been interesting, and they have also reduced the ports they control. With the exception of a few who had come to Te Grand Harbour, they announced the withdrawal of the other Storm Church troops. But we have not received any reports of significant losses from them."

Walking along the road, you may encounter a large number of demons attrition.

Walking by sea is also not necessarily safe.

Especially when Knight's boss helped Vivien and the others got an armed merchant ship, it felt very suspenseful.

[Virtuous Lady Drexington]!

Don't laugh, the captain gave this name to this large cargo ship with a displacement of 2,000 tons.

What's more, manning is still secondary, and cargo is the key.

"Hahaha! Not to mention the large purchase of grain, Mark Destini also announced that he would bless the cargo ships that joined his fleet. Am I not on my way?" Captain Leeuwenhoek laughed heartily, "Since you are his family's private soldiers, maybe I can get a half-rank in his logistics brigade. As long as I don't run into any big sea monsters, my ship can hold up."

The so-called "armament" means that there is an old-fashioned two-pack of 100 naval guns in the bow and stern, which is quite a luxury equipment for merchant ships.

The hull of the ship contained five large warehouses somewhat funnel-shaped, three filled with wheat in cloth bags, and two stuffed men.

Even the so-called private soldiers plus the families of the private soldiers, it is said that there are 1,000 people, but in fact there are more than 1,300 people, and the real ones that can fight are only 900.

The mix of people here is quite subtle.

Many are middle-aged knights in their thirties with their wives and two or three sons who are nearly 20 years old as knights.

Let's say that this combination doesn't have instant combat power, it's not, at most one or two years of raising, and the combat power will be carried.

Obviously, this is a test to see if Mark's side will take the pot.

Just when this group of people was sailing with a little worry, they were afraid of something.

Early that morning, Leeuwenhoek summoned Vivien and the others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a problem!" He handed the telescope to Abner.

Following the direction pointed by the captain, at about 11 o'clock, I saw an unmanned cargo ship that seemed to be floating.

On the silent ship, there were no lights, and there was no trace of human activity. The gray mist condensed above gave people an ominous atmosphere.

"Can't you dodge?" Abner asked.

Leeuwenhoek shook his head, "We tried to adjust our course twice, at first it dodged, and then in less than an hour, it "floated" back into our course. And it's getting closer."

Vivien spouted, "Since the other party is coming at us, let's let our Night Squadron board the ship!"

Two Inquisitors, twelve Punishers, three squads of Night's Watch. This configuration was previously equipped with a provincial capital.

Leeuwenhoek stopped talking, and finally nodded, "Be careful."

A dinghy was lowered from the cargo ship.

Vivien and the others began to approach what appeared to be a drifting ship.

The closer I got, the more I felt that on that strange ship, even the sky was gray, and there were no clouds or blue skies to be seen.

Even in the daytime, when you look at the painted side of the ship, you can faintly see the thin black fog drifting away.

"Humph!" Vivien snorted coldly.

With the utmost vigilance, with the help of rivets protruding from the side of the ship, she jumped onto the side of the ship ten meters above the water in three steps and climbed onto the deck.

She shook her lantern, and the others quickly followed.

The Punishers, like phantoms, jumped lightly and lowered a rope ladder to keep the inactive Dida Boy on his heels.

"What's going on here?" Dida stepped on the deck for the first time and found that it was covered in a thick plasma-like substance.

The experienced purification troops could see at a glance that this was the residue left after the human flesh and blood had been drained of life force and soul power.

It's hard to imagine how much blood it would take to make the ground sticky like this.

More disgusting question: Why didn't this thing dry out?

Abner put on his gloves and waited until the back of his hand was covered with the totem of the Night Lady before he bent down, lightly dipped some of the plasma, and observed, "Some kind of evil ritual! But nothing came out, it was simply a matter of transforming human lives into evil psionic powers."

Wei Wei took a sip in peace of mind, compared to a guy who recruited a miscellaneous demon general but successfully turned the tables, the guy here has to pick his feet.

She gestured, and the punishers dispersed in groups of three and began rummaging through the boat.

Soon it was reported that a large amount of well-preserved flour had been found.

These generations of flour have not even been contaminated, and it seems that they have been left for a long time.

There are no enemies, no survivors.

"What's going on?" Vivien frowned.
