"Oops. Forget Austin is still there. Abel noticed Austinger's eyes and whispered in Cremont's ear.

"It's fine." Cremont replied. The three of them exchanged words, skimmed Austinger's gaze, and walked directly into the store. Austinger was left alone in the cold wind and messy alone.

The next morning, DeWitt woke up early, washed up, stood in front of Abel and Cremont's bed, and woke them up.

"You two, get up. Today, I have to start my journey even if I say anything. DeWitt said.

"Got it." Claremont got up sleepily and sat down on the edge of the bed.

At DeWitt's urging, Able also woke up from his sleep and picked up his towel and went out to wash.

As he approached his return journey, DeWitt seemed happier than anyone else. Go to every room where the Calradia soldiers are and wake them up.

At seven o'clock in the morning, all the soldiers of the reconnaissance team gathered in the breakfast restaurant. Many people eat bread with their eyes closed.

Cremont stirred the polenta in her bowl a few times, and found that she had no appetite.

Facing Devi at the same table, he asked, "How do you go back?" Captain, have you figured it out? If you still need to study it for a while, I'll have to go back and catch up on sleep. ”

DeWitt glanced at him, pointed to the map he was setting aside, and said, "Aren't you looking?" If you don't help, forget it, and still want to leave? ”

"Show me." DeWitt took one of the maps. I took a closer look.

Able silently joined in, and the table became quiet again.

Until the soldiers packed their bags and stood in front of them. The three captains finally figured out the way back.

As a result, when checking out, the boss told them that they could go out of the city gate, go west, walk to the post station in the western suburbs, and take a horse-drawn carriage to the coast, where a cruise ship will pass by every day, and they can pay to board the boat when the cruise ship docks. Boats will sail near the island's harbor.

DeWitt and the others were dumbfounded.

"Is this a black ship?" Cremont swallowed and said.

The boss immediately coughed twice and said, "How can it be said that it is a black ship." If the people of our town want to go out of the island, they will take a sea route. ”

"Really?" Able said with a frown.

"Of course, it's not easy to see your group trekking through mountains and rivers, so I'll tell you. I don't tell anyone else. The boss shouted, "You, you, what do you think I can get out of this?" ”

“... All right. Thank you. Cremont thanked him.

After leaving the hotel, the scout team gathered in a clearing and began to discuss.

"What now? Which way to go? Cremont said, clubbing his chin.

"What do you think?" DeWitt asked, looking at the soldiers around him.

The only voice that responded to him was Jeb's voice: "By sea!!" ”

"Why?" DeWitt hurriedly asked.

"As long as what the innkeeper says is true. There is a route, and our group will be afraid that those who drive black ships will not succeed! Jeb said confidently. Some of the soldiers nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then take the sea route." Devitt glanced at the other people's reactions and said.

After receiving the order, the group immediately walked towards the outside of the city gate.

When I walked out of the city gate, I walked for a long time to the west, but I did not see the innkeeper of the inn.

Cremont couldn't help but wonder, "This boss can't be making up nonsense, right?" ”

"No, it won't." DeWitt shook his head and said, "But I don't think what he said about the station is quite the same as what we remembered. ”

"How do you know?" said Able's questioning halfway through, when he saw a few dwarves leading horses parked on either side of the road.

"Which boss introduced you?" Before DeWitt and the others could step forward to inquire, one of the dwarves had already walked up to them and asked.

"Oak Street." Able recalled the name of the inn, but could not remember, so he could only answer the name of the street.

Claremont looked at the dwarf carefully, the skin on the dwarf's hands cracked from the cold wind. The horses he was leading were also very thin.

"You people, if you go to the seashore, fifty pieces of silver." The dwarf offered.

"Where's the carriage?" Cremont asked.

"Blown away by the latest gust of strong wind." The dwarf glanced away.

Cremont and Able, who were at the forefront, already felt a little strange and took a step back.

Able said to the dwarf, "Can you tell us where the boat is?" We walked over recently. ”

"Huh!" The dwarf spat on the ground, "That's a bit complicated. Or may I recommend you a closer route than a boat? ”

"Huh?" Cremont's eyes were full of wariness, and his right hand was placed on his waist.

"Dead end." The dwarf's expression became more hideous, and he drew his scimitar that was skimming his waist.

More than a hundred dwarves rushed out of the jungle on both sides of the road, armed with weapons, and surrounded the scouts.

"It seems that you are not some business drivers." Devit glanced around and said to the dwarf in front of him, "What are you ambushing here for?" ”

"To take your lives." The dwarf laughed, "You guys should have died halfway through. Can you be a part of the situation on this island? ”

"Our trip has cleared the grievances of the dwarves." Cremont said, "Are you misunderstanding this? ”

"No mistake." The dwarf shook his head and said, "It's just a pity that the people who should be grateful to you are on the opposite side of us. ”

DeWitt and the others were chilled when they heard this. Things turned far more than they could have imagined.

After all, they had only been a group of soldiers on the battlefield before that, although they had heard some stories about power disputes.

But when facing this battle head-on, I will still be shocked by the intricacies of the forces involved.

"It turns out that there are also forces among the dwarves involved in manipulating this incident." DeWitt said.

"yes." The dwarf glanced down at the scimitar in his hand and said, "There are thousands of people on this island who are involved in this operation. It was planned for three months. As a result, you outsiders to the archipelago have been disrupted. You say, do you deserve to die? ”

"Hmph." Able snorted coldly, "I can only say that your methods are too dirty. I really can't imagine that there is something that will make you obsessed with this, and you will not hesitate to betray the elders of your own clan. ”

"These things, when you go to hell. Someone will tell you. There was a cold glint in the dwarf's eyes.
