The afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the wide street and on the pedestrians who come and go.

It's like everyone's body is coated with a golden film, which is really beautiful and intoxicating.

It's a pity that the pedestrians who come and go are all in a hurry.

Obviously, they are all running for their own livelihoods, and they have no time to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery around them.

Maybe that's what annoys adults!

At this time, there were three strange people on the street, who were slowly moving towards the dock area against the flow of people.

The reason why they are strange is not because they are a strange combination of two big men and a little boy.

No, because they are obviously wearing exactly the same clothes and walking at the same pace, but they are far away from each other, very far away.

And just the three of them filled an entire wide street.

You know, this is not an inaccessible wilderness, but a commercial street that has always been famous for its crowds!

But now there are only three of them left on the whole street, like three proud crabs, rampant on the street.

However, Cao Yanchao was the first to notice that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said to Daddy Bayin and Uncle Tors.

"Daddy Bayin, Uncle Tols, something seems to be wrong?"

Unexpectedly, these two people seemed indifferent to Cao Yanchao's words, and they still lowered their heads as if no one was around, and continued to walk forward.

And it all had to start with 10 minutes ago.

When Cao Yanchao and the three of them left the Bright Workshop.

Daddy Bayin looked dissatisfied and questioned Uncle Thors.

"Since you know Bright's home is here, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Uncle Thors said unceremoniously.

"What can I do if I say it? Westinghouse won't come back. ”

Cao Yanchao couldn't help but be surprised: Could it be that Daddy Bayin lied? So he set his eyes on Daddy Bayin.

may have noticed it, Cao Yanchao's gaze, Daddy Bayin said a little unnaturally.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Nalan girl, I have already said that within ten years, that place will definitely reopen, and we will definitely be able to save West House when the time comes. ”

After hearing this, Uncle Thors could only nod helplessly, after all, he still agreed with Nalan Toya's judgment.

Despite this, Uncle Thors couldn't help but complain.

"But it's been almost ten years, how long will it take before we can get back there?"

This time it was Daddy Bayin's turn to be embarrassed, for he didn't know either, but something else suddenly occurred to him.

"By the way, why did you go to Bright's?"

Uncle Tors didn't hide it, and said with a big grin.

"I came to Bright's house to repair armor, and every maintenance of our equipment before was sent to Bright's workshop to do it, which can be regarded as taking care of their business. ”

After a moment's hesitation, Uncle Thors said again.

"It's really all Sam told me to do. ”

Bayin was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"That's true, a few of you were personally found by Sam, and he naturally knows your details, but Sam is not very kind about this, why hide it from us?"

This sentence caused the displeasure of Uncle Thors.

"Didn't I tell you? What if you knew about it? Westinghouse would not come back. And the reason why Sam didn't let me say it, of course, was to protect the privacy of each and every one of us. ”

And after hearing this, Daddy Bayin pursed his lips with disdain.

"Okay! I see. ”

At this time, Uncle Tórs came with a word.

"It's not you yet, don't you want to believe that we're doing it for everyone's good?"

Unexpectedly, this sentence triggered the anger of Daddy Bayin.

"What are you ours? aren't we in the same boat?"

Uncle Thors also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly explained.

"I didn't mean that. I didn't mean to hide it from you anyway. ”

Daddy Bayin was even more angry.

"You still say?"

Then Tolls never spoke again, and neither did Daddy Bayin.

This made Cao Yanchao anxious, and he couldn't help but cheer up 100% of his spirit.

Fortunately, although they did not encounter a single pedestrian along the way, the three of them eventually managed to return to the docks.

And when they saw the empty dock area in front of them, the three of them were all stunned, is this still the dock area of Blackwater City in their image?

Obviously, at noon today, it is still a prosperous scene of hundreds of ships relying on each other and thousands of sails.

But now it has not been half a day's work, and the large dock area has become empty, only a few sea ships in Linxing, still parked on the edge of the dock, looking indescribably bleak and desolate.

And just as the three of them were still in a daze, three more people came from behind them.

Isn't this Saulth, Nick, and Uncle Temutu?

It's just that the situation of the three of them is not very good, Uncle Nick should have been drunk, and it was completely relying on the support of Thor and Uncle Temutu beside him that they could barely stand and walk.

As soon as he saw the three of them, before Cao Yanchao could speak, Uncle Soth shouted as if he had seen a savior.

"Thors, come over and help! Nicks is so heavy, I can't even carry it!"

Hearing the shouts of his companions, Thors was naturally no longer silent, and he rushed to the front of the three of them at once, and then he unceremoniously put Uncle Nick on his shoulder, and did not forget to taunt.

"With such a small size as Nix, you two big men can't bear it, don't say it's my teammates in the future!"

Looking at Toles' smug look, Daddy Bayin said angrily.

"Look, take what you can!"

After finishing speaking, Daddy Bayin couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

"Tiemutu, aren't you all on vacation today, why did you come back so early?"

Temutu's face was also slightly red, obviously he had drunk a lot, but he was still quite conscious, so he replied.

"Don't you know? Since there are more than a thousand pirate ships on the sea, Blackwater City may be attacked at any time, so the City Lord's Mansion has issued a martial law order for the whole city, and now the whole city has stopped commercial activities, and everyone has returned to their homes and waited for the new order from the City Lord's Mansion. ”

After Cao Yanchao thought about it for a while, he remembered that when he seemed to be following the street crossing, there was indeed a city defense army there loudly announcing what had happened.

However, at that time, Daddy Bayin was having an awkward fight with Uncle Thors, so they didn't care, and it turned out to be such an oolong.

Obviously, Daddy Bayin also realized the seriousness of the problem, but after all, he was the oldest person in this group, and he had also experienced a lot of wind and rain, so he said calmly.

"Then hurry back to the ship! Nalan and Sam are supposed to be waiting for us. ”

Naturally, everyone had no opinion, and immediately nodded and agreed

So Thors carried Nick and walked at the front of the line, while Sauls fell half a step behind them, helping as he walked, and Temutu fell at the back of the line with Daddy Bayin.

For a while, Cao Yanchao found that he seemed to have some superfluity, but he didn't say anything, but silently followed everyone's footsteps and returned to the Warrior together.

And not long after returning to the ship, Miss Nalan appeared in front of everyone.

"It's great to see that everyone is okay!

Since everyone is back, let's go back to our respective posts first!

Sam has been notified that he is now going to the Mercenary Guild to receive a new mission, and I think it will be before we start again. ”

All of a sudden, everyone returned to their respective jobs, and only Cao Yanchao, who was a rookie, was at a loss.

Fortunately, Miss Nalan, who was on the side, did not forget his existence, so she said.

"Little one, you go to the kitchen and prepare some food first! try to keep it simple, I think everyone will be very busy after coming, there should be no time, and we will eat together." ”

Although Cao Yanchao doesn't want to be a cook, he doesn't seem to have any other choice now.

"Okay. ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Yanchao walked towards the kitchen.

And it was at this time that Sam also returned to the ship.

When Sam saw Nalan and Cao Yanchao, his originally slightly frowning brows couldn't help but relax a lot.

And Cao Yanchao slowed down carelessly, he wanted to hear what information there was.

At this time, Miss Nalan took the lead in greeting.

"Are you back?"

Uncle Sam nodded and replied gently.

"Well, I'm fine, you can rest assured. ”

Miss Nalan continued to ask.

"So what's going on? What do we do next?"

Uncle Sam said with a distressed expression.

"As you can see, the situation outside now can be said to be a mess.

As soon as the merchant ships heard that the sea was full of pirate ships, they were immediately scared away.

And the gang of wastes in the City Lord's Mansion didn't know how to detain those merchant ships in advance, but now it's okay, the entire dock area is empty, and there are tens of thousands of reliable soldiers missing at once.

Only the Mercenary Guild realized it and temporarily issued a mission to encircle and suppress pirates.

This is really a fucking shit mission, let us this ship, go and encircle and suppress the thousands of pirate ships on the sea, doesn't this make us go to death?"

After hearing this, Miss Nalan couldn't help frowning, and then she said in a slightly cautious tone.

"So what should we do next?"

Uncle Sam said with a nonchalant face.

"Although I was forced to take on this task, how to complete the task is up to us. ”

In an instant, Miss Nalan understood, so she nodded slightly.

"I understand, then let's go to sea immediately!"

Uncle Sam laughed.

"You still know me best, anyway, the sea is so big, as long as we go out to sea, it doesn't matter what mercenary guild it is, what Blackwater City is, it's all for me to die." ”

And after that, Cao Yanchao didn't listen to it anymore, anyway, he couldn't do without the Warrior for the time being, so he should be his cook honestly!

Soon after, with the permission of the Mercenary Guild, the Warrior naturally sailed out of the dock very smoothly.

And the gang of people in the City Lord's Mansion obviously lack experience in dealing with related wars.

It was so easy to let the last few ships in the harbor leave the dock, not knowing how many boats to keep for themselves, and I didn't know what they were thinking?

As the Warrior slowly left the dock area, the last few sea ships that were still on the edge of the dock area and watched the situation finally stopped hesitating and followed the Warrior and left the dock area together.

This time, the docklands were completely emptied.

At this time, Cao Yanchao also took the time to take one last look at Blackwater City.

Although there is no tall city wall on the edge of the dock area, the ancestors of the city lord's mansion are obviously not all rice buckets.

First of all, the original reef and complex waterway were used, and many hidden piles were built on the edge of the waterway into the port.

In this way, no matter how many pirate ships come, they can only obediently line up to enter the dock area, otherwise, there is only one way to go.

In addition, sixteen tall arrow towers were built around the dock area, and some city guards were also placed on them, so that they would not be stupid enough to watch the pirates enter the dock area.

As for the ultimate fate of Blackwater City, it can only be handed over to God!
