Another day passed in the blink of an eye, and Leon finally got the good news, according to the information obtained from Ethan, the search party finally found the giant cruise ship he described on a desert island dozens of nautical miles from the port.

But at the same time, another problem was in front of him.

According to Ethan's description, Earl Draco, the current owner of the cruise ship, does not know the identities of Rick and the others, but only thinks that they are ordinary survivors.

If Leon takes a tough attitude and asks them to hand over the six Ricks, will it make the Count of Della or the person named Bishop Sadler alarmed, and then use Rick and the others as a threat, which will make their rescue operation more complicated?

It's not that Lyon is indecisive and thinks too much, because according to Ethan's description, both the Count of Della and the Bishop of Sadler are extremely evil people who despise life.

Basically, as long as the survivors fall into their hands, they will either be used as experimental materials or will be controlled by parasites, becoming their puppet cannon fodder and monsters.

And this time, the reason why they came to the territory of the Federation of People to capture the survivors was because the Count of Della needed to complete a special ritual and had to gather a hundred living people as sacrifices.

Such a character is simply a model of scum in the last days, a scum who must be killed.

According to Leon's past style, if Rick and the others were not on that cruise ship, he would definitely send bombers directly to smithereens, along with their lair, to smithereens.

However, the main purpose of this operation is still to save people, even if he wants to take revenge, it must be after the hostages are rescued.

………………

At night, it's still in a luxurious office on a giant cruise ship.

Count Della looked angry and said to the bald horseman who was half-kneeling in front of him:

"Ethan, this waste, it's been three days, and he only sent six sacrifices, and now the number of sacrifices adds up to less than fifty, and even half of the requirements of the promotion ceremony have not been reached."

"At this rate, how could he possibly complete the task I gave him."

Thinking of Ethan's efficiency in the past few days, De Kraton was a little anxious, if he couldn't get the promotion ceremony this month, he would have to wait for more than half a year.

The world is so chaotic now, who knows what will happen in half a year.

So, the Spanish count looked at him, and another of his right-hand men said:

"Sir Loxim, you go now, take three hundred low-ranking minions to Florida to support the Ethan Knights, and make sure you bring back enough sacrifices before the promotion ceremony."

Loxim, who was also a Spanish nobleman with Dekra, nodded, as one of the few managers in the entire giant cruise ship who still had intact intelligence, he would not openly disobey the orders of any superior administrator.

Because as the host of the parasite, the suppression of the superior parasite by the lower parasite is almost absolute, unless they are willing to abandon the human body and incarnate into an ugly brainless mutant monster, otherwise, they will definitely not be able to resist the orders of the superior.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will leave now."

In fact, Dekra knows very well that the reason why Ethan has not come back until now has a certain chance that he encountered a strong enemy and was eliminated by others.

But he didn't care about the life or death of Ethan and Lockhim, after all, the subordinates who wanted to be obedient now could get it casually, but he really didn't want to delay his promotion ceremony.

"Go, Sir Loxim, I only need enough living sacrifices, and if necessary, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice all your low-ranking minions."

………………

Two hours later, Sir Loxim arrived in port with three hundred low-ranking minions in an old wooden sailing ship.

When they found nothing in Cape Collier, they were about to go to other cities when they unexpectedly found Ethan, who had been waiting there, and the group of about three hundred, following Ethan's vicinity.

And after his observation, he was surprised that the group of people around Ethan was neither knights and servants who followed him, nor sacrifices they had captured, but a group of characters who did not seem to be easy to mess with.

Not only were they dressed in uniform uniforms, but they were also very well equipped, and they didn't look at all on the same level as the low-ranking servants around him who only wore shabby cloaks and dirty clothes.

This strong contrast made Locksim have bad thoughts in his heart.

Unlike Ethan and those low-ranking servants, as a Spanish nobleman with Dekra, out of a certain arrogance of blood, his transformation method is more similar to Dekra.

Although the body is still controlled by the superior parasite, the intellectual aspect is largely preserved.

Ethan's current performance made him think of betrayal.

Although he subconsciously rejected this possibility, because past experience told him that even if a human whose brain was modified by a parasite, even if he destroyed himself, he would not be able to betray his master.

But soon, his idea was confirmed, and while he was still thinking about it, the soldiers who were following Ethan on the other side had already launched an attack on them without hesitation.

Whistling rockets, roaring heavy machine guns, flying high-explosive grenades.

A large amount of artillery fire, endless, slashed at them.

On one side are unprepared parasite infectees who are equipped with crotch pulls, and on the other side are elite soldiers equipped with various heavy weapons, and the combat effectiveness of both sides is not at all an order of magnitude.

Moreover, not only the difference in combat effectiveness, but also the position of the ambush of these soldiers of the alliance is also quite particular.

After gaining enough information, they knew very well that they were facing a hard-fought parasite infected, and in areas with difficult terrain, it was even more difficult to kill.

So instead of ambushing in a port near the sea, or in a city with complex terrain, they chose open terrain in the wild.

With all the disadvantages involved, the battle soon entered a white-hot phase.

The three hundred low-level minions behind Loxim were completely unprepared, and they suffered heavy losses in an instant, and all parts of their bodies were hit violently, and they had to choose to turn into insects and transform into ugly and strange insect monsters.

But even if they turned into worm-like bodies, they still couldn't withstand the artillery fire.

However, soon, the soldiers of the People's Federation discovered a strange phenomenon, those insect-type monsters attacked by them did not rush towards them with the attack, but only kept wandering around in place like headless flies, like ants that had lost their command, and were unilaterally slaughtered.

Just as they were wondering, a hoarse voice rang out from the artillery fire.

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

"I can surrender too! Don't kill me! ”

And during the time of shouting, a figure covered with bullet holes and multiple injuries rushed out of the smoke, shouting surrender, and fell to the ground at the same time, it was the leading Viscount Loxim.

Obviously, in the face of forces that are difficult to resist, the vast majority of people with normal intelligence will follow the instinct of survival and choose to surrender.

Seeing this, Colonel Daryl, who was in charge of directing the battle, thought about it for a few seconds, and instead of letting the soldiers continue to attack him, he chose to wipe out all the subordinates he brought.

Either way, it's a scourge for these monsters to stay.

Loxim, who fell to the ground, cautiously raised his head, and was quietly relieved to find that the soldiers were not attacking him.

He is a smart man, knowing his life and death, he is all in the thought of the commander opposite, until all his men have been killed, he honestly maintains the movement of lying on the ground without any resistance.

It wasn't until the end of the battle that he heard a low male voice from the opposite side that he carefully raised his head and looked at the other party.

The other party is a handsome-looking middle-aged officer, with a somewhat sloppy beard on his face, but his eyes are firm, and his every move is full of masculine charm.

"Loxim, you're called that, right?"

"We can accept your surrender, but you must obey all our orders."

"Otherwise, once you have any misdeeds, death is your only outcome."

………………

In the early hours of the morning, the sky and earth were dark, and outside the giant cruise ship of Dekra, a wooden sailing ship suddenly sailed, and the tall bald Viscount Loxim stood at the bow of the ship, which looked very conspicuous.

When the personnel in charge of the guard saw the ship and saw Viscount Loxim, they did not have any interrogation, and they were easily allowed to go, because they knew very well that low-level personnel like them would only die if they offended the administrators.

And this time, in addition to the more than thirty sacrifices that looked like they had been caught, there were also more than two hundred people wearing black cloaks, unable to see clearly, and dressed similarly to low-level servants.

Of course, if the person in charge of guarding the cruise ship was a normal person with normal intelligence and a good understanding of his own people, he should easily see that this group of servants was completely different from the group of servants who had left before.

However, these low-intelligence infected people who have been modified by parasites obviously do not have such abilities.

Not only were the men tall, agile and powerful, but even their bodies under their cloaks were bulging, apparently hiding a lot of things.

After everyone had successfully boarded the giant cruise ship, Daryl, who had been following Viscount Loxim all the time, did not forget to say in his ear:

"Remember to be honest, Roxim."

"Take us to the place where the sacrifices are held first, and then report back to the earl."

"Don't make a small move, or I'll detonate the bomb in your body right away and turn you into a pile of minced meat."

Locksim, who was forcefully threatened by Daryl, showed a slightly embarrassed smile and said with a little flattery:

"Don't worry, Colonel Daryl, I'm already aware of the disparity in strength between Dekra and your organization, and it's impossible to help that doomed guy anymore."

"I only hope that when you destroy these villains, you will spare my life, and I will definitely tell you all the information I know."

Daryl said emotionlessly as he observed his surroundings:

"As long as you behave well, I believe that the kindness of His Excellency the President will spare your life."

After the group boarded the cruise ship, with the guidance of Loxim, the senior manager, no one dared to stop them, and they came to the bottom dungeon of the cruise ship where the sacrifices were held smoothly under the leadership of the leading party.

Interestingly, when Loxim arrives in the dungeon with Daryl and the warriors of the Human Union, they are greeted not by dying prisoners and companions, but by a long-planned sneak attack.

And what attacked them was a group of prisoners who had escaped from the cage, held some broken copper and iron, and seemed to want to fight with them, led by Rick Sean and others.

However, in the face of so many of them, Rick and his party also had firm eyes and looked like they were at home.

Obviously, even without the rescue plan of Daryl and the others, Rick and the others will not rest on their laurels, and they are ready to fight to the death.

Fortunately, they have a responsible leader, and it is precisely because of the tireless efforts of President Leon, the power of the organization, and a little luck, that they did not have the opportunity to carry out dangerous self-rescue actions.

After a little confusion, the two sides immediately solved the misunderstanding.

"Thank you, Darryl."

"Thank you for risking your life to come here and rescue us."

Rick was indeed very moved, he reached out and patted Daryl on the shoulder, and asked with some emotion:

"Now, what are we going to do? Do you have a plan? ”

When Danielle heard this, he looked at the unconscious Duck and Joel with a headache, and then looked at it, standing behind Rick and the others, the dozens of emotional, crazy captives, and said:

"Your Excellency the President has given us three choices."

As he spoke, he asked the soldiers who had come with him to untie their cloaks and put the equipment hidden under them on the ground.

In addition to the guns they carry, there is also Rick and other Earth Guardian armor and a large number of diving gear.

Daryl looked at Rick and said with a serious expression:

"The first option is to use a hot melt gun to melt directly through the walls of this giant cruise ship, use these diving devices, and escape to a nearby desert island."

"Then, Your Excellency will be able to free your hands and destroy the enemies here."

"But I'm not sure if the people behind you can dive out safely."

"The second option, we choose to fight, when you are ready, I will send a signal to His Excellency the President, and then we will cooperate with the fighters in the organization to work together to eradicate these monsters."

"The third option, we wait for Loxim to help us hide the situation, then disguise ourselves as his servants again and leave with him by boat."

"However, this option, in addition to worrying about Loxim's betrayal, also has a certain chance of being exposed when leaving with him."

"At that time, we will not have the advantage of terrain like we do now, and we will be in the awkward position of being attacked on the back of the enemy."
