Chapter 659 This Is Destined to Be a Fruitless Wait (1/2)

A vast sea.

The two battleships rose and fell in tandem with the waves, and the two green-backed double-sword flags hanging on the bridge were fluttering in the wind with high spirits.

However, the sailors on the ship couldn't feel proud at this moment, and were hurriedly lowering their boats to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water.

I used to be so energetic when I was chasing people, but now I am so embarrassed.

Looking at his subordinates who looked like drowned dogs, Captain Achim, who was standing on the side of the ship, had a livid face, holding the railing tightly with both fists, and his sharp eyes were full of gloom.

That cargo ship took away at least a thousand Yue Clan members, and also caused the Golden Gallen Port to lose a full one million dinars!

And this is not only a matter of money, but also related to the reputation of Governor Nihak and even the face of the Xilan Empire.

If those people were allowed to successfully land in Silver Moon Bay, God knows what outrageous rumors would come out of their mouths.

Although the survivors in Borneo knew it well, people outside did not understand them and might think they were robbing.

He had to say this wasn't a robbery!

But for the prosperity of the Xilan Empire and the peace of the next generation!

Captain Achim looked at the adjutant beside him and said through gritted teeth.

"What on earth are these guys like?!"

"Their ships were produced by the shipyard in Silver Moon Bay..." At this point, the adjutant added in a positive tone, "I'm sure that's where it is. There's only one shipyard there. It's absolutely unmistakable. Our ship Bought it there too.”

"Nonsense! I know it without you having to say it!" Achim scolded him, so frightened that the adjutant trembled and dared not speak.

Not only is this officer above him in military rank, he also has noble Tiger and Japanese blood, the same as the current Marshal!

This dignity made him even dare not look directly into the eyes of this gentleman, for fear of causing his displeasure.

At this time, a clever junior officer took a step forward, bowed his head and said.

"My lord, I may know something about them."

Captain Achim said impatiently.

"explain."

The officer said immediately after hearing this.

"I saw the white bear symbol when I was traveling in Camelback Kingdom. Combined with the bears they brought with them...those people should be members of the White Bear Knights!"

Captain Achim was stunned for a moment.

"what is that."

The officer continued.

"It's a bank opened in the Petra Fortress. I heard that the owner of the bank was a girl. During the Luoxia Province war, she donated money to help some nobles who were persecuted by the Weirant people. Therefore, she and the royal families of the desert countries The relationship between the nobles was good, and the business was taken care of. Later, the enterprise and the legion ceased fighting, and merchants from the alliance entered Luoxia Province. The knights made a fortune from the money exchange business, and then started lending money and depositing money. "

Most of these were rumors he had heard.

But one thing is certain, the White Bear Knights' business is indeed very famous in the Camelback Kingdom area, especially in the Petra Fortress.

Achim touched his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Is that guy rich?"

The officer was stunned for a moment and then nodded quickly.

"I am very sure of that!"

Achim's eyes flickered slightly and he suddenly had an idea in his mind. He looked at the adjutant and ordered.

"Pass my order! Everyone get back on the ship immediately. We'll set off in five minutes! Head to the waters near Silver Moon Bay!"

With the courage of the Hump Kingdom, they would definitely not dare to let the cargo ship dock at the dock and disembark in front of the Xilan Empire warship.

If the freighter can be seized, not only can the thousand slaves be captured, but also a ransom may be obtained from the White Bear Knights.

The adjutant standing nearby panicked when he heard this and hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Mr. Captain, our rescue is only halfway through, and there are still a few brothers who fell into the water but have not been found——"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Captain Achim waving his hand impatiently.

"Those guys are a disgrace to the empire. They can't even seize a mere cargo ship. What's the use of bringing them back?"

After speaking, he glared at the adjutant who dared not take a breath, and said in a threatening tone.

"The governor asked us to capture those more than a thousand slaves and those troublesome outsiders no matter what. He said he wanted me to do whatever it takes."

"If you don't want to go down and feed the fish, you'd better do as I say."

The adjutant, sweating profusely, nodded his head, quickly turned around and trotted to the side of the ship and shouted to his men to get on board immediately.

As for those who have not yet been found who fell into the water, we can only assume that they have died.

After concluding the rescue work cleanly and decisively, Captain Achim immediately called for the helmsman and navigator, looked at the chart and gave them a death order.

"I don't care what method you use, we have to get to the waters near Silver Moon Bay before those stowaways, and we must not let them come ashore."

Several crew members looked at each other, not daring to say a word, and nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"As commanded."

"Yes! Sir!"

…

Although in the Camelback Kingdom, especially the Petra Fortress, the White Bear Knights have almost become the embodiment of justice.

However, their business is not going well in Borneo Province, which is separated by mountains. Especially recently, it has even become a symbol of evil.

In the final analysis, some restless guy is too nosy.

The slave trade is not uncommon in the wasteland, but it is extremely rare for free people to be shackled on a large scale for inexplicable reasons.

Because even the old babies who are as stupid as Boulder City know a little bit that there are contracts in this world that are far more efficient than slave contracts. An indebted worker could create ten times the value of a slave and accept a lower standard of living than a slave.

However, this unbelievable thing still happened on the land of Borneo, and it happened in front of the players of the alliance.

A group of people were inexplicably labeled as traitors, and then became the targets of legal robbery and even massacre by others.

At first, Sisi didn't want to take care of it, and even covered Awei's eyes and repeatedly warned her not to mess around on other people's territory.

However, when she discovered that those beasts were not even willing to let go of children under the age of twelve, she suddenly couldn't hold back and got in first.

Later, they used the 155 cannon and six 100mm short-barreled field guns on the Rourou to bombard the Golden Gallen Port, sinking two warships moored at the port for renovation at close range, and then sold the original plan to a local arms dealer for the value of Arms worth millions of silver coins were given to thousands of Yue people imprisoned in the port.

Perhaps inspired by the courage and generosity of this group of outsiders, or perhaps discovering that the imperial army was not as powerful as they imagined, the Yue tribesmen who had originally been willing to kill at their necks finally made up their mind to take up arms to resist and liberate other oppressed tribesmen.

They entrusted the women and children to the fighting hero wearing a red turban, while the men and old people took the initiative to stay. With the supplies they snatched from the imperial port, they followed several Yue tribe veterans to escape into the central part of Borneo Province. forest.

And this was the direct reason why the governor of Golden Gallon Port furiously ordered the pursuit of the crew of the Rourou.

Although not only did not make a penny from this transaction, but even lost a lot of money, no one felt any regrets.

There are many opportunities for people to make a fortune in this life, but there may only be one or two opportunities to stand up like a hero.

When he tied the red scarf on his head, Tails felt that he was so cool.

As for the game currency you lost, it doesn’t matter at all!

…

The next day.

The rising sun shines on the endless sea, and the rolling waves are covered with layers of golden light.

Sesame paste stretched out comfortably in the sea breeze, and squinted his eyes comfortably. Suddenly, he suddenly had a whim, wondering what the planet five light years away was like.

Is there such a vast ocean?

"Ah, camera camera..."

Suddenly, she thought that it would be a pity not to record this beautiful scenery, so she hurriedly rummaged in the bag she carried with her.

Although they just experienced an exciting naval battle last night, most of the old players of "Wasteland OL" have already become accustomed to the rhythm of this game.

As long as you don't die, it won't be a big problem.

As for accidentally dying——

Well, actually it’s not a big problem.

The business operated by the White Bear Knights in the Camelback Kingdom is not only financial, but also information transmission services and save points open to players.

As long as you spend 2,000 silver coins, merchants or players who are keen on running merchants in Dawn City can bring over the sleeping cabin for archiving.

She had saved the file before her latest trip to sea, so she wasn't that nervous.

However, although players have become accustomed to surviving after a disaster, NPCs who only live once have a completely different feeling.

Seeing the cat-eared girl amusing herself on the deck and taking pictures, the mercenaries and sailors from the Camelback Kingdom were filled with admiration.

Worthy of being the messenger of the Silver Moon Goddess!

Perhaps it was the blessing of that god that allowed this broken ship to sail without sinking until now...

Just when the mercenaries and sailors were looking at the "Messenger of the Silver Moon Goddess" in trance, Si Si suddenly ran onto the deck.

"Sesame paste!"

"Um?"

Seeing the overjoyed Sisi walking quickly, Sesame paste, who was holding the camera, blinked.

"Do you want me to take two pictures for you?"

"Don't worry about the photos for now, big news! Come with me!" Sisi grabbed her arm excitedly and took her towards the cabin.

When Sesame Paste came back to her senses, she had been pulled into the cabin by Sisi, and the yawning Rourou and Tails were also here.

Seeing that everyone was there, Sesame Paste pulled out his chair and sat down and couldn't help but asked curiously.

"What's so formal?"

Sisi took a deep breath, looked around at his friends, and said excitedly.

"When I went offline last night, I received a planning email in the background of my account!"

He had never seen Si Si so uncool before, Tai Tai swallowed his saliva.

"Email, what was written?"

"New map test invitation!" Sisi trembled excitedly, "I got the 14-day experience activation code for the manager's permission of Vault 70! That sanctuary is in the southern sea not far from us, and it's Under the sea!"

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then almost in unison, they burst into incredible exclamations.

"Activation code?!"

"A refuge under the sea?!"

"Giao!"

Suddenly thinking of something, Taili put his hands on the table and stood up with a thud.

"Wait a minute, that's weird, why is Sisi the one who received the activation code?"

Sesame paste thought seriously for a moment.

"Well, maybe... A Guang thinks Sisi might be more reliable?"

Tail: "Damn, isn't Tail reliable enough!"

Sesame paste: "Huh? No, Tail is of course reliable too."

Roushan Damomo put his palms together, rubbed them up and down, and prayed devoutly.

"It seems that doing good deeds is good, Amitabha."

Tail, who had calmed down, suddenly dragged his chin with his index finger and muttered seriously.

"I understand, that's why... It seems that Sisi made a huge sacrifice when we didn't know, Tail has to treat her better these days."

Rourou also stretched out his bear paw and touched Sisi's head.

"It's not easy, Amitabha."

Looking at the noisy cabin, Sisi, whose head was rubbed by Rourou, said with a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word... Okay, Awei, don't worry about trivial matters like who gets the activation code. When we get to the shelter, everyone will have a share. Let's discuss the next itinerary. Should we continue to go to the ideal city as planned or--"

"Is this still worth discussing?" Wei looked at Sisi in surprise, "Of course, we will go straight to the new map! Are there any other options?"

Rou Rou also raised his paw excitedly.

"That's right! I vote for the shelter!"

"+1!"

The cat ears on the top of his head shook left and right, and Zhima Paste's face, with his hands on his cheeks, showed a yearning expression.

"A shelter under the sea? I really want to see what it looks like... By the way, isn't there a survivor settlement nearby? Maybe they can take in the survivors on the ship, and at the very least they should be able to buy the supplies we need."

Looking at the people who reached a consensus in an instant, Sisi was stunned.

"Is it decided?"

"What else?" Wei looked at her strangely, "Anyway, we don't have to go anywhere, right?"

This sentence makes sense.

Sisi couldn't think of how to refute for a while.

Zhimahu and Rourou looked at each other and said with a smile

"Then it's a happy decision!"

...

Captain Achim would never have thought that the so-called big fish in his eyes did not swim to his palm at all, but went all the way east to the southern sea.

This was destined to be a fruitless wait.

Looking at the ships coming and going in front of Silver Moon Bay, Captain Achim was so angry that he could not do anything but vent his anger on the inferior clan crew.

The councilors and nobles of Silver Moon Bay trembled at the two warships parked at their doorsteps.

Although their coastal defense guns could sink the two warships in an instant, they could not withstand the huge Xilan Empire, which was only separated from them by a mountain.

For them living in a corner of the desert, the empire with a thousand tribes and thousands of gods and a population of over 100 million was a more direct threat than the legion.

In particular, they also heard that the Xilan Dynasty, which recently unified the Borneo Province, was itself a puppet supported by the Weilants. The sniper rifles and 100mm artillery equipped by the Imperial Army were the most powerful evidence.

But there are also claims that the Legion is not very interested in Borneo Province. It is just that some lords of the border areas are doing business with the so-called Xilan Dynasty, exchanging dinars for those exotic beauties and young and strong slave laborers.

In any case, the Xilan Empire is a behemoth for the Hump Kingdom, and there is no doubt about this.

The twelve city-states rarely reached a consensus on the same thing. Both the new believers of the Silver Moon Sect and the conservatives who adhere to the ancient traditions agreed that they needed to go to the east to seek help from the alliance.

Captain Achim did not know at this time that his rash decision for a ransom and a group of slaves would bring a huge potential trouble to his governor and his majesty.

If he had known that it would cause so much trouble, he might have restrained his greed.

But that's all for later...

Just when Captain Achim was venting his anger on the inferior clan sailors in impotence, the distant Dawn City was peaceful and calm.

The three-day celebration had just ended, and people returned to their posts one after another with a feeling of wanting more and a vision of a better life in the future.

A lot of things happened in these three days.

First, the Alliance established formal diplomatic relations with more than 50 survivor settlements in the wasteland with which they had traded.

This included the old neighbor Garbage City, which had always been wary of the Alliance, as well as the Dam City far away in the Prancing Horse Province, and even the Free State in the north.

Secondly, the negotiations on the cross-regional cooperation organization made important progress, and the Academy also showed an open attitude towards cooperating with enterprises on limited issues.

And this is probably the first time in a century and a half.

Regarding the name of this cross-regional cooperation organization, the enterprise and the Academy meant to let the Alliance decide, so that they can each explain to their own people more easily.

Chu Guang didn't know what to name it, so he simply opened a voting post on the forum, and unexpectedly chose "Slime Mold Nation". Although he felt that these guys were really talented, Chu Guang finally gave up the name with the highest votes and randomly made up a more appropriate "Slime Mold Research Community". The college was quite satisfied with the name, and the company had no objection, so the name of this cross-regional cooperation organization was determined.

In addition, there was news from Lord Teresa that the Valantian envoys arrived in Pioneer City and submitted an application to participate in a cross-regional cooperation organization.

Although he had thought that this might happen, Chu Guang was still surprised by the swiftness of the Weirant people's movements.

However, Chu Guang didn't care and allowed the envoy to take an airship flight to Dawn City to discuss the matter.

The conflict between the Alliance and the Legion is an internal matter of human civilization, and mutant slime mold is a common problem faced by human civilization.

He can still understand the priorities among them.

As long as the alliance holds a dominant position and can ensure Xiaoyu's control of each "sub-base", he doesn't mind cooperating with the other party on the issue of mutant slime mold.

Even though the possibility of war between the two sides in the future is not small.

However, although Chu Guang thought it didn't matter, colleges and companies were wary of the Legion's arrival.

Yang Kai said that he would seek the opinion of the chief technology officer, and Luo Yong also said that he would ask other members of the board of directors.

Chu Guang expressed his understanding of this and said that if either the company or the college has objections to the new member, the Sticky Community will not accept the new member.

This will also serve as the standard for the development of new members of the Sticky Community in the future.

The behind-the-scenes work of the celebration has finally come to an end, and the next step is to meet with the legion envoys and finalize the specific details of the cooperation in lengthy negotiations.

As the only person who had not rested in the past three days, Chu Guang finally had time to take a few days off for himself...
