Chapter 130: The Second Stage Mission

As soon as the people of the "Era" returned to the hotel, many children had already run directly in the direction of their rooms before Chloe announced the disbandment, even if Chloe shouted at them in an annoyed voice behind them, they were completely indifferent. Please convey this message to those students who have not heard it, and by the way, say to them again, if you don't come, then you don't need to continue the following actions...... I said at the beginning of the trial that those who can't keep up with the rhythm are destined to be eliminated, not by me, but by the times."

"You can go back and think about this sentence yourself.' Those who can't keep up with the rhythm are destined to be eliminated by the times.' Then tell them this sentence as well, and let them think about it themselves." Chloe said "dissolve" after saying this very seriously, and then turned and went straight back to her room, while the people who remained in the hall looked at her back and began to ponder the last words she had left.

This day's dinner is after leaving the Luoyin Academy, except for the people who are in other places because of the mission, except for the people who are not with the big army, the only day when the number of people in the big army is not together, and they eat together in the lobby or private room. She said that she could understand their feelings, but she said lightly at the end that she would not be an example.

Then, after a night of silence, the next day came.

On this day, when the last moment of the assembly time was approaching, there was still a priest girl figure who had not come out of the room for a long time, and looking at this posture, it seemed unlikely that she would go out, that is, if there was no accident, the fifty-strong team of the "Era" mercenary group would have the first companion to leave the team in a few minutes. Thinking of this, the boys and girls couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts, among them, after getting the eyes of many companions full of "pleading with the leader", Esslyn cautiously looked at Chloe, who was calm on her face, and said, "Well, Chloe, I think we might as well wait a little longer and give Somya a little more time?...... I don't want to, I don't want us to rely on everyone's joint efforts to solve this difficult task halfway through, and suddenly a companion said that he wanted to leave." Acelyn knew that with Chloe's IQ, she would never be able to deceive her by making up an excuse at this time, so she simply explained her mind to her directly.

Hearing Acelyn's words, Chloe said quietly, "I don't want to, but we shouldn't stop moving forward, so I decided to give her one last chance...... This time it's up to me to face her directly." Chloe walked straight to Somya's room, and then came to her.

After staring at each other silently for a few seconds, Chloe said lightly, "You are not stupid, you should be able to understand what I want to say to you."

When Somya heard Chloe's words, her face darkened, and she whispered, "I know...... Such things are always unavoidable, and I should not blame you, the regiment commander...... But I was so scared that I didn't sleep all night, and all I could think of was the hideous faces of the criminals, and their howls and curses full of resentment...... I'm so scared, I'm so scared...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's me who is too weak, it's me who is too useless." Somya hugged the quilt and cried, her pale face, red and swollen eyes, and helpless expression, which looked very pitiful.

"...... Do you remember? When our 'era' mercenary group was just being established, you introduced yourself and said that you want to be a life-saving priest who can help more people get healthy bodies?" Croix didn't stretch out her hand to comfort her, she took pity on her, she just said quietly, "You should know that as a priest, you can't avoid dealing with the hatred of blood and hurting each other...... But I'm not here to talk to you about this when I'm here to talk to you about it."

"What I want to say is, if you haven't been able to get rid of the negative feelings brought to you by those things yesterday so far, then take it with you first, and then slowly digest it later. That's what I'm doing." Chloe said quietly.

"So, what? Now, can you get up? We'll give you another five minutes, but you're late, you're slowing down our pace, so you must not have breakfast, even if you didn't eat much last night, and you'll have to go hungry with us." After Chloe said this, she turned around and walked out of the room, and said, "Again, as companions, we don't want to give up on you, so no matter how you feel at the moment, please don't let your companions down."

After leaving the room, Chloe closed the door and said to her companions gathered outside the room, "Let's go down and give her a little space and time...... I'm phase. [,!] Believe her." Afterwards, Chloe led the team back to the lobby and quietly waited for Somya to appear.

About four minutes and thirty-five seconds later, because her hair had not yet been arranged, and her red eyes were flushed, Somya, who looked a little wolfy, really got dressed and came to the hall on time, she took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late!"

"Well, now that the time has been delayed a little, our task today is not light, so we don't have time to prepare for you more.Now, the era mercenary group, divided into two ways, one way to the mercenary union under the leadership of Sun Yao to receive a simple task that can be completed in one day today, while Aceline, Van der Sar, and Eco will follow me to the City Lord's Mansion to receive the next stage of this B-level mission." After Chloe gave the order briefly, the mercenary group divided up again.

And this time after coming to the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord Godford really told Chloe about the next stage of the task, and directly showed her the task scroll that he himself commissioned in the mercenary union.

After Chloe resulted in the scroll, he saw that it was written, "Now the South China Sea pirates are rampant and have disturbed our people many times, so the city lord of Linhai City hereby entrusts the members of all mercenary groups in the world to complete the escort of the grain convoy to the South China Sea Sea Fortress, the Blue Sea Fortress, and the task difficulty is level B."

"Sea Fortress, Blue Sea Fortress, don't you want to explain a little bit about the objectives of our mission?" After carefully reading the scroll, Chloe smiled with approval on her face, and asked if she had probably figured out the purpose of the royal family of the Zhongdu Kingdom to build this blue sea fortress, for which she expressed her appreciation.

Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned this blue sea fortress, Godford's face hung a look of pride and admiration, and said: "Miss Chloe must also know that the area from the southern continent of our country to the south and to the lost continent is the sea area, and this sea area is called the South China Sea by our country. And it is agreed that the resource gathering ships of each country shall not exceed each other's own sea waters. Because this treaty still has a strong monitoring mechanism, for thousands of years, the sea resources of our Zhongdu country have also been exclusively enjoyed by ourselves, and after the collection, we will either go north to trade with other countries, or digest them at home.

However, this peace was shattered almost decades ago...... At that time, a palace rebellion broke out in the rain lord, although the rebellion was unsuccessful because it was discovered before the incident. In fact, when the fact that the third prince was running his power in the South China Sea of our country was discovered, it had been more than twenty years since the mutiny."

"However, as the Lord of the Rain, they naturally will not let go of such a political offender as the Third Prince, so after greeting us, their naval brigade sailed into the South China Sea, and successfully caught the Third Prince by surprise and killed him on the spot.

"However, after more than 20 years of development, the power of the Three Princes is no longer a small force, so when the Three Princes expected that they were surrounded and could not escape, they let some eagle dogs who were good at swimming or who were not in his base camp quickly flee separately and avoided the pursuit of the Rain Lord."

"However, it is these people, after successfully escaping the pursuit of the Rain Lord, that gradually formed the power of the pirates that our two regimes, the Central Capital Kingdom and the Rain Lord, both feel that are difficult together, and even have to unite to deal with them together."

"In the South China Sea and the extreme western waters of the Rain Territory, there are thousands of large and small islands, and we don't know the exact number, size, and location of these islands.

"And ......," said Godford with a wry smile, "In fact, in the past hundred years, the governments of the two countries have increased their efforts to develop marine resources, and the efficiency of resource development in our two countries has improved by leaps and bounds...... And those pirates are cunning enough, they know how to find some officials who are not firm in their minds, and then use some wealth from the South China Sea to get through to them, so that they can secretly give their side some help, and then they can get better equipment or the resources they need.

"However, this situation should not continue to deteriorate, because five years ago, the royal families of the Rain Territory and the Zhongdu Kingdom have reached an agreement, and the two sides will work together and spend huge sums of money to build a powerful sea fortress in their respective sea areas.

"Of course, since this sea fortress does not have its own arable land, the weapons and equipment, food, and so on need to be supplied by our two countries themselves, and this time, the task of your era mercenary group is to escort our fleet and escort these weapons and food to the blue sea fortress."
