680 Chapter 709: Sean…
“What… What’s going on?”After Li Goudan brought the man who called himself Sean off the ship, the group of people stared at him blankly… …
“The captain of the triumph? Henry’s hired Captain?”Lei Xue asked with a frown.
“You know Captain Henry?”Sean was overjoyed. “As expected, are you the rescue force sent by the Alliance? which country are you from?”
As he spoke, he looked at the yellow-skinned Lei Xue and was slightly stunned. There were many races in the western islands. The high-class race had fair skin, three-dimensional facial features, and the low-class race had primitive skin, the nobles had turned them into a completely unevolved race.
However, people like Lei Xue, who had delicate facial features but yellow skin, were rarely seen, and… ? The surrounding crew members were also very strange. Some of them even had fish-like scales. Could they be from the Strange Alliance?
On the islands, there were some people who had been persecuted by alchemy experiments. Most of them were originally slaves or captives. They were used by biological alchemists for biological experiments in an attempt to unravel the powerful secrets of the orcs.
However, the experiments were not very successful. A group of half-orc species were born. Originally, they were regarded as the lowest class of humans by the major island countries. However, a thousand years ago, a famous legendary hero led these subhuman races to revolt, finally, they completed independence and formed a new country. It was what the later people called the “Strange Alliance.”.
After a thousand years of evolution, although many countries still did not really like these people, because of their relatively strong overall strength, they gradually gained status in the alliance.
Could it be that the people of the Strange Alliance also wanted to open up a new route?
But they had never heard of the Strange Alliance having a yellow-skinned race…
“Is it very rare?”Third mate Johnny frowned slightly when he saw him staring at Lei Xue.
Sean immediately apologized in embarrassment. The people of the Strange Alliance hated it when others looked at them in a different way. In his current situation, he could not afford to offend these guys…
But judging from the emblem on this guy’s shoulder, it should be a third mate, right? However, he could vaguely see that the other party had gold battle-qi on him on the ship just now!
A dignified Gold Knight was serving as a third mate? In addition to the girl with incredible skills just now, when did the strange alliance have such a powerful fleet?
The western islands were not like the steel warrior empire in the eastern continent, which often fought against the orcs. High-level warriors were very rare. For example, in the Tanzania Riz Island Country, where he was from.., there was only one gold knight in the entire country, the old Duke Bernard.
Most of the other countries were the same. Those who could reach the gold rank were basically all grand dukes of a country. It was his first time meeting someone who was a second-in-command of a ship and was even the third-in-command.
While he was puzzled, Li Goudan and the others were even more puzzled by his appearance…
“Report your background, sir. We have to check your information!”Lei Xue squinted at him and said.
According to Henry’s diary, Sean’s existence might not be real, because Henry had mentioned in the diary that he had almost forgotten why he had hired Sean.
“Yes!”Sean immediately replied, “I am Sean. “Alfa, the second son of Marquis Alfa’s family, chose to join the Navy because he could not inherit the title of nobility. In thirty years, I was lucky enough to be promoted to the rank of junior governor. A year ago, I was recommended to join Prince Henry’s army as the captain of the triumph… “… “…”
Snow nodded. According to her understanding of the Western archipelago system, lieutenant general was equivalent to a major general on her side…
Thus, she continued to ask, “Who recommended you to join Henry’s expedition team?”
“It was my superior, Marquis Daniel. He had some friendship with Prince Henry. At that time, Prince Henry needed more experienced professionals to help him because it was his first voyage!”
“Is that so?”Lei Xue frowned and continued, “But as far as I know, doesn’t Henry have his own professionals? For example, that first mate named Polly!”
Hearing this, Shawn looked at the other party in surprise. The other party had such detailed information, and he actually knew about Polly!
Although he was surprised.., he still said honestly, “Polly’s military rank is only lieutenant colonel. As the captain of a royal warship, it is impossible for him to convince the public. After all, the first mate of a ship of this rank is at the rank of senior colonel. Although the triumph was allocated by Prince Henry at a high price, he did not have enough members to drive the second ship. As a result, the crew on the ship were all temporarily transferred from the Navy… Under such circumstances, it would be safer to find someone with the military rank and a certain amount of influence in the Navy “…”
So that’s how it was…
Li Goudan and the others pretended to nod their heads, but Lei Xue still frowned.
These words were logical, but the specifics could not be verified, because Henry, as the protagonist, had not been clear-headed all this time.
Now, it was better to blow him up…
Thinking of this, Lei Xue stared at him coldly and said, “Your words are different from Henry’s. We can’t tell who is telling the truth. In that case, come back with us and confront him!”
Hearing this, Shawn was stunned at first, but then his face showed a look of disbelief. “You… said that Henry is with you?”
“Yes… otherwise, how would we know about you?”Snow said faintly.
“Impossible…”Sean shook his head with a look of realization.
Snow was confused. The other party didn’t show a guilty look, nor did he show the captain’s happy face that he was still alive. Instead, he looked like he was in a daze… …
This made her feel uneasy.
“If you have any questions, you can ask them. There’s no need to hide it. Apart from rescue, we also took on the task of opening up the route. Our purpose is the same as yours. Hiding information… … Won’t do you any good!”Lei Xue said with a formulaic tone.
“I… I know… But… But…”Sean still stuttered with a look of realization. “But… Captain Henry is dead!”
“What?”Not only Lei Xue, but everyone else couldn’t help but scream!
“Are you sure?”Lei Xue’s pupils constricted as she asked with a serious tone.
“Of course!”The other party said firmly, “I saw him die with my own eyes. He was torn into pieces by those mutated crew members!”
Lei Xue looked at Li Goudan. Li Goudan was also dumbfounded. If Henry was already dead, then who was the one sleeping on the ship?
“Let’s go back first. What do you think?”Lei Xue felt more and more uneasy. She looked at Goudan Li and asked.
Goudan li nodded immediately. Then, he called the second and third mate to escort Xiao En. Everyone walked back quickly!
They were all armed crew members. Their physical fitness was excellent, so their footsteps were naturally very fast. In less than 15 minutes, they had returned to the bottom of the Goudan ship.
However, the moment they returned, they felt that something was not right…
It was too quiet… … so quiet that it was somewhat abnormal. …
Logically speaking, shouldn’t all the crew members be waiting for their return on the deck?
“Hey, what are you doing up there? Hurry up and put down the ladder!”Third Mate Johnny shouted!
Johnny’s voice was very loud. Lei Xue and the others who were standing at the side felt as if they were being struck by thunder, causing their ears to buzz. However, such a loud berating sound did not have the slightest echo. The entire ship was so quiet that it was as if it was dead… …
Lei Xue’s expression tensed up, and she felt extremely uneasy. Li Goudan, who was standing beside her, no longer hesitated. He stepped forward and flew onto the ship lightly…
