There was a lot of noise outside, and the evacuation of their community had begun.

The citizens were organized in batches as a community unit, escorted by the vigilantes, the Kingdom Legion, and the Low Star Hunters, and evacuated to various shelters on the outskirts of the city.

The entire evacuation operation will last almost two days.

After that, with the exception of fighters, logistical support personnel, and artisan groups that maintain Combat Street, the mainland city will be largely empty.

Co-ordination of organization, transportation, security, and water arrangement.

The municipal departments were too busy to keep their feet on the ground, and of course, this had nothing to do with Gordon and the other combatants who were directly involved in the fighting.

Four people and two dogs squatted in the house, ready to eat breakfast.

Originally, they didn't plan to start a fire and wanted to go to the public tavern to eat, but now that there was chaos outside, they decided to deal with it casually with the mentality of not adding to the chaos.

Breakfast was cooked by Hayata, and the food had nothing to do with heartiness, just a large pot of thick oatmeal with sliced smoked ham as a side dish, and the only ingredients in the house were shelf-stable.

Feng Ying felt that it was tasteless to eat like this, so she took advantage of Hayata's inattention and poured a large amount of dried fruit into the pot on her own initiative, and it turned out to be sweet porridge.

Anhill, who doesn't like sweets, frowned, ate half a bowl, and poured the rest into Gale Gale's mouth.

Feng Ying herself didn't think it was delicious, but under the gaze of the three Gordons, she could only stuff it into her mouth with a bitter face.

Eating the sweet porridge, she muttered and complained, "Sure enough, the pork chop is better to eat."

Hayata's forehead jumped a few green tendons, and he served another bowl to Feng Ying.

"Eat, eat clean."

Meanwhile.

Over the Neo Crook Inland Sea, on a small low-flying airboat.

Pork chops are also cooking porridge.

Freshly cut fish fillets are blanched in the congee with just the right consistency, and a little salt is sprinkled to make your mouth water.

"Come and have breakfast meow!" The pork chop knocked on the edge of the pot and shouted.

"Here comes Meow!"

"What a meow!"

There was no one on the empty boat, only four hunting cats, Pork Chop, Pandan, Bone and Fire Scythe.

The one in charge of controlling the airship is the fire sickle, and this Meralu doesn't know where to learn the driving skills, but it is quite skilled.

The purpose of their trip was to scout a small island and see if there were any signs of a giant halberd dragon on the island.

After snorting and drinking a bowl of fish porridge, the fire sickle meowed with satisfaction, "It's delicious, if it's only us and the bone leader Meow, it is estimated that only the dried fish will eat Meow." ”

As he spoke, he wanted to take out a wooden scythe and hold it, but he was glared at by the bones, and hurriedly took it back.

As an old hunting cat, the self-control of the bones is very strong, after drinking a bowl of fish porridge, it declined the kindness of the pork chop to serve it another bowl, "If you eat too much, you will be sleepy, these are enough meows." ”

Xianglan, who had already drunk two bowls and was about to serve more, wiped her mouth awkwardly.

The bones patted Xianglan's head, "You're growing your body meow, it's okay to eat more." ”

"Then another bowl of meow!"

"You're past the growth period, meow." The pork chop mercilessly mocked, "If you eat like this again, you will become a pig." ”

"You're a meow!"

Ignoring the quarrel between the two of them, Bones took out a map and calculated the array against the anemometer and other instruments on the airboat, "In the afternoon, we will be able to reach the vicinity of the target island."

After landing on the island, you can't swim like this anymore, meow, understand? ”

"It's meow!"

Pork Chop and Xianglan hurriedly stood up straight, and the bones after entering the mission area were very severe.

At that moment, a flare rose in the far distance.

It was bright daylight, and it was too far away for the fire sickles to catch a glimpse of it, and they might have ignored it.

"It's a yellow flare meow, let's go over and see the meow." The fire scythe looked at the bones and asked, "It's a completely different direction than the target island." ”

"Go meow." Bones decided decisively, "Which team should have discovered Meow, which is more important than rigidly scouting a certain island." ”

"Got it!" The fire sickle adjusted its direction, and the airboat slowly flew in the direction of the flare rising.

In more than half an hour, they arrived near the target airspace.

The cats failed to locate the airship that signaled the first time, but they noticed an anomaly on the surface of the sea.

There is a large field of oil floating on the surface of the sea, which reflects the colorful black in the sunlight.

Reminiscent of the characteristics of the giant halberd dragon stained with black oil and swaying it around, this is likely to be the trace left by the giant halberd dragon.

"Meow there!" The sharp-eyed pandan noticed that an airship was floating higher in the clouds than them.

The previous flare should have been fired from that empty boat.

The bones pulled the mirror and signaled the empty boat.

[Hunting. Cat. team.]

There was a quick response from the airship.

[Suspicious 20 km southeast island group]

[Together. Scouting]

[Yes]

"Fire sickle, fly twenty kilometers southeast Meow, let's scout the island Meow over there." Bones said as he quickly geared up his armor.

Pork chops, they also hurry to dress.

The two airships flew together for some time.

Along the way, the low-flying hunting cats found a few more sporadic oil slicks, which were not as large as the previous ones, but they made them more vigilant about the island ahead.

The two airships landed on the flat beach one after another, and the hunting cats in full suit jumped off the airboats one after another.

On the other empty boat, two figures also came down.

One wears a scholar's suit for field operations, and the other is equipped with pitch-black Swift Dragon armor.

The combination of the Scribes and the Dark Night is arguably unprecedented, but that's how the guild is arranged.

The Elder Dragon Observatory and the Scribes are experienced in aerial observation, while the Guild Knights and Dark Night are good at ground reconnaissance, and given the flexibility of their investigations, each team is paired up.

The Cat Hunting Team is responsible for the islands with special terrain that are difficult for humans to set foot on, like the one they originally planned to go to.

The two sides bumped heads, and the pork chop was surprised to find that the two of them actually knew each other.

The young man in the scrivener uniform is Alva of the Scrivener Team, a student of the professor, who is quite a familiar friend.

I've seen it in the dark night, it seems to be called Fumu Rabbit? She was chasing Black Hawk at the time, and had spied on Gordon and him for a while due to suspicion that Black Hawk was in collusion with them.

"Alva hasn't seen me in a long time!"

"It's pork chops, and you're part of the investigation? Could it be that Big Brother Gordon are too? Alva looked a little surprised.

"It's not Meow, it's Meow who is acting with the Cat Hunting Team this time."

Pork Chop shook his head, and then said hello to the silent Night.

"Miss Fukuki Rabbit is also a good meow!"

"Fukuki Rabbit Meow?" Xianglan couldn't help but look at her and lick her paws, "It turns out that Dark Night also has this cute name." ”

“.”

Young Dark Night took a deep breath and stabilized his emotions, "My code name is Owl, not Fumu Rabbit. ”

Firesickle shrugged, "That's not bad." ”

"Okay meow, that's the end of the greeting." Bones interrupted their small talk, "We're going to scout a few islands here as soon as possible, and this is where you originally scouted?" ”

"Yes." Dark Night's voice was very fast, "The island group composed of three adjacent islands, the original plan was to reconnoiter at a low altitude after arriving on the islands, and then reconnoiter on the ground if an anomaly was found.

However, we found oil stains in the nearby sea, so we signaled that we wanted to gather nearby teams to conduct a careful ground reconnaissance. ”

"Reasonable meow."

Bones looked at Alva, "The next scout will be too dangerous for the scribes, you stay here and light a campfire to raise a pillar of smoke and try to attract the team from the nearby airspace to meow."

For the rest of us, let's scatter and scout the island first, and pay attention to the smell of oil stains and black oil. ”

"Yes." The owl nodded her jaw, she didn't mind following orders, or rather, she was used to following orders.

The direct, unambiguous directive of the bones was her favorite, and on the contrary, Alva's kind of "Miss Owl, what do you think?" "Shall we do this?" She hated it.

Alva's face was full of regret.

Investigate the opportunity of an unknown ancient dragon.
