In order to give the outlaws time to fully prepare, the Flying Whale reached the mouth of the Diana River with little more than an hour less than a little less than walking, and the mercenaries on board, as expected, turned their attention away from the full deck of gold coins, but until three o'clock in the afternoon, it had traveled about forty kilometers without incident.

Because it is the traces left by Abram's battle, the back-filled Diana River has almost no counterflow, and there are no twists and turns in the river, even if it is only about ten kilometers per hour at present, it will not take two days to reach the source, once the new city is completed, shipping is definitely the most ideal exhibition route, but it is very unfavorable to Lu Chen's "business" this time. In desperation, he could only give the order to dock early and rest for the night, and was unhappy with Valais for this, and the mercenaries also realized something, and selected two representatives to inquire about the specific situation.

"That's right, your mission is indeed to help me pilot the Flying Whale, but the mission also states that at least a month before and after, the Diana River is not 500 kilometers in total, no matter how slow the degree is, it can be five or six days back and forth, you who live here should have thought of it when you take the mission, right? Besides, aren't all of you who stayed here for the greater good, since you believed me before, why don't you continue to trust me?" Ignoring Humphreys's dissuasion, Lu Chen, who was getting food on the shore, answered the questions of the two representatives in a hurry, not at all worried that they would leave with everyone.

"Okay. Then you should always give everyone an exact statement, a few of us six- and five-star people really want to block it. But the largest number of people on board are four-star people, just sailing in the middle of Diana, it's good to say, the huge Flying Whale is enough to make most of the sea monsters lose interest, but now that you are docked, it is equivalent to saying to those outlaws, 'Come and rob me', this is crazy, do you know how many pirates are hiding here?"

The man who spoke was called Mark Pine. The only descendant of a declining little aristocratic family, he wants to prosper his family, he has been mixed in mercenaries since he was a child, and has tasted all kinds of hardships, plus it may be because he has received an aristocratic education, he is diligent and sincere but not a dead brain, and his identity, ability and experience can just allow him to get an excellent balance between nobles and commoners. It's the most valuable of all the hired mercenaries.,And it's not up to expectations to really become a representative.。

Lu Chen, who was interested in supporting him, listened to his straightforwardness, and after thinking about it, he said: "I said that when it is not necessary, four-star people don't have to fight, as for pirates and outlaws, in fact, the more they come, the better it is for us." Let's not talk about our strength, as long as we put gold coins or something into a space ring and throw it to them, what will happen to you?"

"Won't they be divided?" said another representative. Although he knew that this question was a bit stupid, it was better to figure it out for the sake of everyone's interests.

The middle-aged man was the one who had taken a sip of water of life among the five people selected at the bar on the first night. He was the first person to make a good impression on himself, compared to the other four. At least on the surface, he seems to be a courageous and cautious person, very suitable as a deputy, and Lu Chen is glad that he has also become a representative.

"Berscoe, if you were the strongest pirate, would you be willing to share such a large share of your wealth with the others, or conversely, if you were the weakest of them, would you be willing to take a few hundred or even a few dozen gold coins and leave? On the basis of the two assumptions, and then give a guiding explanation, it should have ended here, but after a pause, Lu Chen still deliberately continued: "But the worst-case scenario is that they preemptively drive some idiots to consume our strength, and at that time you will need to do it, fortunately, I have enough life water, as long as I can lead them to the river, there will be enough time to consume them, unless they don't want these things, and directly sink the boat." ”

"The smell of blood can also attract sea monsters to attack their boats...... No wonder you have to 'dry gold coins', this is really ...... And only a rich person like you can do it. Valles, who was on the side and finally understood, sighed for a while, and when he saw hope, he forgot for a while why the little boy in front of him did such a "selfless" thing.

"No, the method is very good, but there are many sea monsters, and the Flying Whale can't withstand their collision. Humphreys chimed in at once, knowing his ship best.

"That's right, if there are a large number of sea monsters, my two warships can't get close, and if we don't make it, we'll be finished first. As if he had been poured cold water, Valles reversed in horror.

I was depressed, but I didn't expect to turn to the issue of ships in the end, but I couldn't avoid it, putting aside the sea monsters, if I were a pirate, I would also take advantage of this, seriously injure the Flying Whale, and then attack when he docked. Thinking of this, Lu Chen didn't even know that the meat was burned, and it wasn't until Verona pushed him that he came back to his senses and hurriedly disposed of the prepared food.

Then, after distributing the prepared food to the people around him, seeing that none of them looked at him without saying a word, Lu Chen could only bite the bullet and say: "I have also considered the problem of the ship, and the most direct solution is to turn it into an ironclad ship, but this must have enough metal materials, and an absolutely secret place, I have a secret alchemy recipe in my hand, but the Flying Whale is still a little smaller, and it is a bit wasteful." ”

Except for the crackling of the bonfire, everyone was still silent, and this time even the girls around them seemed to have no appetite and did not move with their plates;

Valais, Humphreys, Mark, and Bersco looked at each other, and immediately drew a simple map of the Diana watershed around the campfire, and pointed to about a quarter of the river, and told them that there was a strange cave that did not look like a natural formation, and that it was full of iron ore, but that even pirates did not dare to settle there, let alone mine it.

"Is it occupied by the Sea Demon Beast?" asked casually, and then Lu Chen saw the four guys nod in fear.

"Seventh-Order Thunder Eel, the river basin within the scope of Brion City is rowed there because of its existence, and because of this, my fleet cannot enter the Diana River to exterminate the pirates, and too much movement will definitely lead it out, so your plan may not necessarily succeed. "If it weren't for the mention of iron ore, Lu Chen's plan would have almost made Valais forget about its existence, and although the clash of several ships would not necessarily alarm it, if it advanced a little further into the river and approached its lair, it would be difficult to say anything.
