Chapter 57: Did I Do a Good Job?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Adjutant Myron’s back was already soaked in sweat.

The horn that had just been played was a communication shout under the highest emergency. It meant that the life and death of the entire ship was a huge matter. Be it the captain or Sir Taize, as long as they heard it, they would definitely respond.

However, he did not receive a response for a long time.

This could only mean one thing…

“The sound of the horn can penetrate the huge rocks and shake into the thick soil. Even if the team has already gone deep underground, they will definitely hear it, but they still did not respond…”

He muttered, “There are only two possibilities. Firstly, they’ve already fallen into a bitter battle and can’t even spare the time to blow the horn. Secondly… they’re completely wiped out.”

The expressions of the elves present changed drastically.

They saw the burning camp and broken corpses on the beach. The enemy had launched a despicable surprise attack. What was even more terrifying was that the few assault boats moored in the temporary command post were also gone. Any elf with a normal IQ could deduce the other party’s goal… They were going to raid the Wayne Wings.

Now was the time when the defense of the Wayne Wings was the weakest.

Almost all the elite troops had been transferred to the island by the captain to pursue the Goethe people and find the so-called fragment of the holy artifact. At this moment, only half of the Ballista Group sailors were left on the Wayne Wings, as well as dozens of Spell Casters who were completely useless.

If the despicable Goethe people really succeeded, the worst situation would happen. The ship would be seized by the Goethe people, and they would lose their sea control and completely become meat on the chopping board.

It was the worst situation and an unprecedented disadvantage.

If the main ship was really captured by a mere Goethe person, even if it was only a third-level main ship, it would be an unprecedented humiliation to the Royal Navy. All the soldiers on the ship would be humiliated because of this, and they could forget about standing in the Twilight Army that valued honor and reputation…

Adjutant Myron’s hands were trembling.

Such a huge matter was definitely not something a small adjutant of the Marine Corps like him could shoulder. However, the captain and Sir Taize actually entered this fatal rift at the same time and did not respond to his summons.

How could this be?

He was at a loss and felt a trace of mockery. The elves were good at scheming. As an adjutant, he could tell that his commander and the captain had decided to enter this rift valley at the same time to fight for credit. Who knew that such a thing would happen? The two highest-ranking officers of the fleet were actually trapped inside at the same time.

As a result, there were not even any elves who could make a decision now.

It was really too ironic.

Now that he thought about it, the captain had underestimated the Goethe people too much. It was because of his conceit that he had brought so many people to the island. He felt that the Goethe people were only corpses under the blade who were hiding everywhere and waiting for death. Their greed for the fragment of the holy artifact and important discoveries made him take even more radical risks and even personally enter danger.

Who would taste the bitter fruit brewed now?

Adjutant Myron was sweating profusely, feeling confused and flustered.

All the elf soldiers who had rushed to report were looking at him.

He was already the elf with the highest military rank present.

In other words, according to the Royal Navy’s military code, when he could not contact a higher officer, he had already automatically obtained the command of the battlefield.

Everyone was waiting for him to make a decision.

Adjutant Myron felt that time passed so slowly.

Every second of thinking was infinitely extended.

This was not a simple choice… It concerned the honor and life and death of the entire ship’s elves. The commander had to be responsible for every order he gave. He understood this now.

He closed his eyes and calmed down for a few seconds before opening them. “Everyone, evacuate.”

An officer cried out, “Where to?”

Adjutant Myron’s eyes were electric. “Go support the Wayne Wings!”

Another elf said, “What about the captain and Sir Taize?!”

“I’ve already said that there’s no response from the Verdant Horn. There are only two possibilities. The bad possibility and the worse possibility! The team led by the captain and Sir Taize is the most elite land force on the ship. What can we do to make such an army fall into a bitter battle or even be completely wiped out? Die?”

Adjutant Myron said coldly, “There’s no perfect solution now or even a good choice. There’s only the bad choice and the not-so-bad choice!”

“If we go to the rift valley to save them now, the enemy is unknown and the risk is unknown. If we fall into it too, the Wayne Wings will be completely finished! Taking ten thousand steps back, if we successfully save the captain and the others, what if the Wayne Wings is captured by the Goethe people in the meantime? We’re also finished!”

“Therefore, we can only make the second-best choice.”

He slowly exhaled.

Adjutant Myron did not have the prestige of Sir Taize and the captain. Even if he had the highest command at this moment, he had to think of a way to convince these elves in exchange for their full cooperation.

He said softly, “That’s the only way. We don’t know what enemy we’ll face in this rift valley, but if we save the Wayne Wings, our enemy will definitely be the Goethe people we know.”

“Although the defense on the Wayne Wings is empty, it’s only relative. The remaining half of the Ballista Group’s sailors also have a certain level of combat strength. In fact, although the spellcasters can’t release spells, they have a certain level of combat ability. Under the situation where their supernatural power is completely suppressed, they at least have the physique of elves.”

“Now, it’s a pure competition of physical strength. The elves won’t lose to the Goethe people.”

“There’s still Master Rackles holding down the fort on the ship, as well as the navigator, the first mate, and the others. Even if we encounter a surprise attack by the Goethe people, it won’t be chaotic. We’ll definitely command a counterattack and wait for help.”

“Moreover, the internal structure of the Wayne Wings is complicated. The Goethe people have never boarded a ship and are not familiar with the terrain. Our crew relies on the favorable terrain defense to block them and will definitely not be defeated immediately.”

“Maybe they’re waiting for our help now.”

“We can only make this choice… The ship is more important,” Myron said in a low voice. “I believe that even if the captain and Sir Taize are in my shoes, they will definitely make this choice. I know this choice is very difficult to make, but sometimes, we have to take responsibility.”

“I now order you in the name of the temporary commander to return with me.”

He looked at the elves. “Who else has a problem?”

Another trainee officer asked, “But we don’t have a ship anymore…”

“Building a raft, using driftwood, and using magic medicine to maintain your stamina. Although this is very tiring, the Goethe people have fought on the ship for a long time. They must be very tired. This is not a reason to stop the Royal Navy.”

Adjutant Myron said, “Let’s go.”

The Wayne Wings fought chaotically.

As expected of the main ship of the royal family. The crew was made of pure-blooded elves who were extremely loyal and well-trained. When they were attacked, they spontaneously formed a defense force.

However, this defense seemed to be fighting separately. It was completely a ball of loose sand.

Elves continuously shouted crazily.

Due to the power projection of the elves on the continent and the influence of the country, the outstanding people in the upper echelons of the human race were basically all at level eight in the Elven language. The famous theaters were proud of performing Elven plays. Even the communication between the nobles would sometimes be in the Elven language. As one of the ten outstanding youths of Goethe, the knight naturally knew this.

He turned to look at Kang De. “They’re saying something like where Master Rackles is and where the first mate is. The high-ranking officers on the ship seem to be missing.”

The parrot flapped its wings proudly and shouted, “Did I do a good job?”

“…” The knight asked, “I don’t understand the Cathayan language. What’s it saying?”

Kang De thought for a moment and said sincerely, “It said that these people were all killed by it. Remember to leave all the spoils of war to it, or it’ll be angry.”

The knight did not care about the spoils of war. He was shocked, but…

He glanced at the kangaroo that was raising its leg and holding the bow, and then at the gorilla that was waving a heavy steel rod to sweep away the arrows. Then, he did not find it strange.

…What was the background of these animals?

“The good news is that I don’t seem to have to worry about your personal safety.”

The knight said, “The enemy can’t form an organized resistance. They’re all fighting separately. They look to be powerful, but they lack tactical adaptability. I’ll cooperate with the captain to attack tactically. As for you, Kang De…”

Kang De blinked his shining eyes. “I’ll always stay in a safe place!”

…It was so unconvincing.

The knight thought for a moment. “You should act with me…”

Kang De shouted, “No! It’s so dangerous! I’m afraid!”

Cleveland felt a chill run down his spine. Even his sister did not use this coquettish method after she was 14 years old… Was this child’s play for Cathayans?

“Alright, don’t worry about me. The situation of the battle is changing rapidly. Do you want to waste your time with me, or save another comrade who’s about to die?” Kang De said. “Do you think I need your protection?”

Of course not.

This was the most important reason for Cleveland’s hesitation.

This was because Kang De had not attacked from the beginning to the end, and his animal companions had erupted with shocking combat strength. The kangaroo stood on the open deck and relied on a bow to suppress the entire ship’s elves until they did not dare to appear in this area. The gorilla that had grabbed a large board as a shield blocked all the arrows.

Clearly, Kang De did not need his protection.

He even looked fiercer than a Druid who controlled animals to fight…

Therefore, the knight hesitated for a moment and made a decision, “Then I’ll go! You must protect yourself. Unless you have no choice, don’t take the initiative to fight. Remember…”

“Alright, you’re so long-winded!”

Kang De took out a few cans of Molotov cocktails and threw them to the knight. “Take them and use them. Be careful!”

After sending this long-winded guy away, Kang De looked at the parrot.

The parrot flew up excitedly and quacked, “Sir, this way please!”

The kangaroo took the lead. The gorilla was responsible for bringing up the rear and protecting Kang De in the middle. The long and narrow corridor was lined with cabins on both sides. Perhaps there were enemies with ill intentions hidden, but this narrow space was no longer the home ground of the elves.

Kang De and the others quickly advanced. The small animals like the wolverine and the pigeon protected him. When they passed a cabin, an animal pounced in. After a scream, it quickly ran out to follow the team, leaving only a bloody elf corpse inside or a few.

No matter how deep the concealment was, it could not escape the ears of the animals.

Kang De said, “I heard that there’s a Grand Mage on this ship. The most powerful spellcaster. He must have a lot of good things! Let’s go there first!”

It was not because of greed, but mainly because there were still many elves on the island. The battle had not completely ended. Moreover, the problem of the black beast had not been resolved. For the sake of caution, he had to find something that could immediately increase his strength as soon as possible… As a Grand Mage, there were definitely huge benefits.

The parrot shouted, “Duh! Duh!”

They quickly moved through the complicated interior of the cabin.

The terrain was very complicated. At the very least, Kang De was already a little dizzy from circling around, but the parrot quickly led the way as if it was free. When it encountered elves on the way or enemies at the corner, the kangaroo shot a few arrows. The remaining animals dealt the finishing blow and swept through everything.

There was no chance for Kang De to attack.

He saw this and was secretly speechless.

When he saw that the elves were quickly killed, just like before, he did not feel any physical disgust. However, he could not bear it mentally. Apart from that, his emotions were that of surprise.

He had interacted with these magical animals for almost a year and it could be said that their relationship had become very good. These guys were very intelligent. In terms of temperament, they were more or less a little silly. Throughout the year, they could be considered to have quite pleasant memories and past… However, Kang De had never seen this side of them.

They killed efficiently and without hesitation.

This was definitely not the first time they had done such a thing…

Kang De even felt that he did not need any Goethe people. With them alone, he could sweep away all the elves on this ship.

There were many intelligent animals like the gorilla and kangaroo on the island…

He… he had really transmigrated to a good place.

After a short and fast raid, Kang De arrived at Master Rackles’ room.

The door opened. There were three corpses on the ground. One of them was facing down with the word ‘danger’ written on his back. The other two corpses were on the ground, their faces purple and their hands tightly clasped around their necks.

The parrot said excitedly, “Great! Success!”

Kang De understood everything when he saw the word ‘danger’.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Kang De walked around the corpses and entered the Grand Mage’s room. There was a dazzling array of bookshelves, cabinets, and a magic table. All kinds of decorations reflected his identity as a spellcaster. The brilliance of arcane magic shone in them, and all kinds of magic items were everywhere.

So many elements…

Kang De took a few glances and realized the technical barrier. He did not recognize any of these books, materials, and items. He did not know the effect and how to use them.

Only the dozen or so pure-colored crystals in the box revealed pure elemental power, so much so that when his fingers touched them, he could sense their strength attributes. This could be used immediately.

Kang De opened his backpack and wanted to plunder some useful things first. Then, he heard the shout of the Goethe people outside, “Paddle! Raft! Elves are coming from the island!”
