Chapter 779. The early arrival of the sunset
Devit held the cold key in his hand and silently said, "Jenny... Who's here? ”
Instead of rushing to return the keys, DeWitt remembered what Austinger had said: On the deck at night, there are always the sound of people's footsteps.
So he sat quietly in his bed until late at night, and while waiting, he sorted out his thoughts in his mind.
"Hah-" Devitt yawned, unable to hold back his tiredness. After all, in the past few days, he has adhered to the habit of going to bed early.
"It's almost time now." Devitt muttered, then opened the hatch and walked out.
Walking down the ship's corridor, Devit did see several elven soldiers gathered in a corner of the deck.
"Hey! You guys! DeWitt shouted at the group, "What are you doing here at night?" ”
"Virtue... Captain DeWitt. An elven soldier greeted awkwardly, "We're standing here on duty." ”
"On duty?" DeWitt asked with a frown.
"Captain DeWitt, why aren't you sleeping yet?" An elven soldier asked.
"Oh, I forgot to return the key. Do you know Jenny? He lent the key to Cremont in the evening, and is still on the night shift. Have you seen him before? DeWitt picked up the key in his hand and asked.
Several elven soldiers looked at each other, paused for a moment, and responded, "Jenny... Jenny has a stomachache and is now squatting in the toilet. Captain DeWitt, give us the keys, and when he returns, we'll help you return them." ”
Hearing this, Devit had already sensed the strangeness of this group of soldiers. Mentioning the precepts, he replied, "No, I think it's better for me to wait for him to come back and give it to him myself." ”
When the elven soldiers heard this, their facial expressions became ugly. Everyone leaned close together, discussing countermeasures in low voices.
DeWitt stared at them for a moment, ready to turn around and head to the management module.
"Help!" At this moment, a cry from the sea made DeWitt's heartstrings tense.
DeWitt immediately leaned on the fence and peered out into the dark sea: he found a uniformed figure rising and falling with the waves beside the boat. Glaring fiercely at the elven soldiers, Devitra sounded the alarm on the deck.
The entire ship was put under a state of inhibition.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Clemmont was awakened by the siren and got up and shouted.
DeWitt began to look for men to help him get Jenny ashore. To his despair, however, all the crew members he turned to for help were indifferent.
"Isn't this your crew?" DeWitt yelled in surprise.
"It is important that people have money, since someone pays us to shut up. We just need to be quiet. The captain replied flatly.
Devit was back on deck, and the Calradian and Elven soldiers were standing on either side of the deck. Raphael leaned against the fence, his trench coat blown by the cold wind of the sea. And his expression was calm.
"It seems that we have not prepared enough for this operation." Raphael said coolly.
Several elven soldiers who had previously revealed their identities in front of Devit knelt in front of Raphael.
"Boss, we were wrong." The elven soldier apologized.
Raphael glanced at them and said, "When tonight is over, I'll settle accounts with you." ”
"Raphael." Devitt clenched his fists and walked over to the array of elven soldiers, shouting angrily.
"What's wrong with you?" Raphael asked.
"Why do you want to do this?" DeWitt asked, "You say, what is in us that is worth your painstaking efforts?" Or even to sacrifice the lives of innocent people? ”
"There's no why." Raphael shook his head and said, "It's just that if someone wants you to die, you have to die." ”
Clemmont's eyes widened, and he said, "So you were sent by the islanders?" You've thrown yourself into the forces of the dark side! ”
"When your own country won't reach out to you. The forces that can be relied on for you will naturally have to be firmly grasped. Raphael responded.
"I should have known that you were lying if you said that you were telling reinforcements to help you repel the nomads on the island." Clemmont said, pointing at the elven soldiers.
"We've been preparing long enough for you to pass away quietly." Raphael sighed and said, "It's just that tonight, you opened this prelude in advance. Don't you fear that your soldiers will resent you? Because of your recklessness, they have one less day to live. ”
Raphael's provocative words made many of the Calradian soldiers take out their weapons and step forward.
"I'm lucky enough to break your plot." DeWitt stopped his soldiers and responded, "Now that you can't rely on the attack, what else can you do to stand up to us?" ”
"In the physical duel, we are naturally not comparable to you. And we didn't expect this from the beginning. Raphael said lightly: "Speaking of which, haven't you noticed that the ship has changed directions?" ”
Devitt looked into the captain's cabin and saw that there was no one inside.
"The crew of this ship is all gone!" Cremont whispered.
While the two sides were confronting each other, the bribed crew had already slipped out.
"Ready to go." Raphael commanded his soldiers.
"Yes." The elven soldier responded.
"Bang!" "Bang!" The pre-planted bomb exploded under remote command, and half of the ship was engulfed in flames.
The engines stopped working, and seawater continued to pour into the ship's holds. Most of the hull had collapsed.
Elven soldiers followed the ropes, one after another, jumping onto the lifeboats that had been prepared in the middle of the conversation.
Raphael walked the last one, uncloaked himself from his cloak, and returned to mid-air. To the Calradia soldiers on board, he said, "Good luck! ”
"Bastard!" Devit roared. Then he pounced on the elven soldier where he had been. However, the elven soldiers did not leave them a chance, and the rope of the boat had been cut and thrown into the sea.
The fire gradually spread to the deck, and now the Calradian soldiers were dead in both directions.
DeWitt sat on his knees on the deck with his head downcast, tears of reluctance oozing from his eyes.
Cremont stepped forward and shook his body, shouting, "DeWitt! The soldiers are still waiting for your order! You can't just fall like that! ”
Devitt opened his eyes and looked at the soldiers standing in a neat line.
