Chapter 115: Foreseeable Hell
As far as the eye can see, the sound of the tide echoes, the torrential rain crashes on the raging waves, and the wind blows huge waves, like an angry beast crashing against the hull of an ironclad ship.
It was an unquiet night when the Marais ironclad was sailing in the dark and deep sea, they were unlucky enough to encounter a storm, the sailors were collecting their sails, and the captain's room, the experienced Captain Makuka, judged a safe direction to sail.
He was carrying a gift from the people of Paradis Island: the Giant Mine Lamp.
This kind of miner's lamp, which does not need to be powered or lit, and can continue to shine in any environment, is a specialty of that island.
Damn, he's using that demonic stuff on the archipelago!
He would love to smash it, but no, he had to bring what he had seen on the island to his great homeland, Marais.
And in the current situation, he had to use it to light up the darkness.
All the supplies on board were confiscated by the Paradis Islanders.
Except for enough coal left for them to sail to Marais, there were only some grain and island giveaways, and they didn't even have kerosene lamps!
The giveaway included a miner's lamp in his hand, photographs of some of the Giant's power plants, factories and ore fields, as well as a group photo of them studying at the Paradis Island POW camp and a letter to the government of Marais.
Recalling the humiliating experience in the POW camp, Captain Makuka was genuinely outraged.
Why are those Eldian pigs pointing fingers at him, a noble Marais!
In his fifties, he had never been so whispered in front of the Eldians, and when he was younger, in the port, he had always been the one in charge of cutting off the Eldians' fingers.
Just as he was thinking about how he would take revenge on Paradis Island in the future, a huge wave crashed against him, and the waves splashed high, and the sea water submerged the ship, and the ironclad shook violently.
He almost didn't stand still and fell to the ground.
He grabbed the railing and poked his head out of the captain's quarters to feel the wind, the Giant Lamp helping him find his way.
"Right full rudder!"
The deputy turned the rudder as instructed by him, and the hull of the ship was deflected to the right.
During Makuka's thirty years of sailing, storms like this are not uncommon, and he has fought the sea countless times, witnessing the transition from sailing to steamship.
Although he is old, he is not old as a waste.
With his own judgment, he drove the ship out of the storm zone.
He had walked this passage for ten years, and he would never sink on this path, and judging by his sailing experience, they would reach the port of Marais in two days at most.
He threw down the "giant lamp" and sat down in his seat coughing.
The old mistake was repeated, and he breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the woman who had come in through the door.
Picke Fingal, the guy came in again and got close to his crew.
Pique was drenched all over, her wet hair was sticking to her face, and she no longer walked with a cane, after all, she had been on Paradis Island for more than two months, and she had not become a car giant, and her walking habits had completely adjusted.
However, unlike two months ago, this time there weren't too many Marais soldiers to take care of Pike.
Of course, Makuka knew that this woman and those bastards on the island had long been mixed up.
It must be like this, the Eldians are all virtuous, and the bad in their bones can never be corrected!
What honor Marais, in Makuka's opinion, these Eldians should all be shot!
As long as the Eldians are dead, there will be no giants in this world!
Damn, he must report it to the government when he goes back.
He watched coldly as Peake came out of the captain's room, and thought to himself how ugly this woman would be when she turned into a giant.
Pique didn't care about the anti-Eldian extremist's eyes, she smiled and greeted the young Marlay soldiers, talking and laughing.
The atmosphere was much better than when she first boarded the ship, and seven days had passed since she boarded the repatriation ship.
All the Malay prisoners of war were on this ship, and there was enough space on board to carry them, which was originally a cargo ship and stocked up on the soldiers' food.
There was a lot of space in the ship's warehouse, and Paradis Island had kindly bunked them in the warehouse before sending them to the port, with bedding and pillows.
It's getting cooler, it's late autumn, and at night at sea, you will feel very cold, and if you don't cover the bedding, it's easy to catch a cold.
But the Marais prisoners of war did not like this kind of charity on Paradis Island, which never seemed to regard them as a threat, and even when they said goodbye, they were kind and pleasant.
This made the Marais feel very uncomfortable, as if they were inferior, although at that time, they were inferior.
Peake remembers being ostracized at every turn when she first got on the boat, and two months ago, Marlaibing, who would have been shy just by looking at her face, wouldn't even talk to her.
Fortunately, her interpersonal communication skills are very good, and she used her appearance advantage a little to deliberately make a lonely appearance and show her "weak" side.
These young Marais soldiers are easily shaken, they are not the same extremist as Makuka, although they are still suspicious of Pique, but after a few days of getting along, they are much better.
If Marley was still at peace at this time, I think Pique would be able to get along well with them.
Scold. pity
They didn't know that Marais was in the middle of a war, and the Middle East coalition army had declared war on Marais half a month ago, and as of six days ago, they had successfully held a fortress siege and kept their gains on the border.
Peake finished her daily social activities and returned to the cabin, where she had a separate room.
I opened the door and lay down on the bed.
She slit her wrist with a knife, blood dripping on the ground, steam coming out of the wound, which healed quickly.
The power of the giants is back, and she feels that she can become a car power giant again.
"Daddy." Peake blindfolded his hands over his eyes.
The Eldian Territory has her acquaintances, some of her neighbors, some of her friends and relatives she made during her training with the Warrior Bench, and her juniors, who are also picking her own Warrior Candidates as the successor of the Giant.
For example, Reiner's family and Polk's family have a good relationship with her.
"But I had to give up."
The only thing she could save was her father, and the superfluous people couldn't be transported away by plane.
After they snatch the Warhammer giants, it won't be long before the Eldians of the Restricted Zone fall into despair.
Marais will completely lose the giant of wisdom.
They, for no reason, left the Eldians with the false title of "Honorary Marais".
"It's horrible," Peake hugged his shoulder, feeling a shiver in his heart.
Just imagining the miserable situation and hell made her feel like falling into an ice cave.
