After nearly a week of sailing, the Long Sail and Jin Xiang Ye have arrived at Shawan Port.
When getting off the boat, Dane clearly felt that the sword dancers who had come to Shawan Harbor with him were obviously very nervous. It seems that they all still remember what happened to Shawan Harbor last time.
However, Dane himself was not worried at all, not afraid of what Malone would do in the port at all. Especially when he had just disembarked and completed the procedures for the ship to stay, Emre brought a group of security team soldiers to him, and this worry disappeared even more.
Obviously, after experiencing the last incident, Morno's control over Shawan Harbor has been improved to a certain extent. Malone will definitely not get any cheap if he starts at Shawan Port.
After exchanging pleasantries with Emre, Dane got his assurance.
"No one can do anything to you in Shawan Port. General Morno has sent a whole brigade of elite fighters under my command. Even if Malone attacks the city, I am sure I can hold it for two or three days!"
With such reassurances, what else did Dane have to worry about
After bidding farewell to Emre, Dane quickly got in touch with Delin, who was one step ahead and had arrived at Shawan Harbor for more than a week.
More than 200 people followed behind Delin, and soon found a camp on the outskirts of the city, which could be clearly seen to be a temporary camp.
In the camp, there are already more than two hundred mercenaries with different equipments stationed.
Delin said to Dane with some embarrassment: "Boss, you asked me to recruit mercenaries near Shawan Port and Rotten Wolf Town in advance. In a little over a week, I only recruited more than 270 people. …”
Dane nodded and said, "It's not bad to be able to recruit so many people. I remember that the task I gave you before was just to recruit two hundred people, and you have exceeded your target."
"Yeah, the mission goal is indeed overfulfilled." Delin was still a little embarrassed, "It's just the quality of these people... how should I put it, all the mercenaries have basically reached the level of personal combat power. The average level of this industry. But... Their equipment is not uniform at all, some are not bad, but most of them are very simple. Moreover, in terms of organizational discipline, let alone compared with the army, even if it is Compared with the general mercenary group, it is much worse... "
For such a result, Dane has nothing to say. He said: "It doesn't matter, I didn't intend to recruit a group of powerful troops. Isn't it normal that the mercenaries summoned temporarily cannot form an excellent team in a short period of time? ?”
"Ah..." Delin sighed, and asked with some puzzlement: "These people, to be honest, if it was our former horror mercenary group, I'm afraid I only need half of it—no, I don't need half of it, just give me One-third of the staff, I am completely sure to defeat them. Not to mention, now, our strength is stronger. I don't understand, boss, you let me recruit so many of mediocre quality, just gathered together by money, What are mercenaries with no loyalty to speak of, much less discipline to speak of doing?"
Dane grinned, patted Delin's shoulder with a smile, and said: "Indeed, our own army can definitely be regarded as the elite of the elite anywhere in Schindler. But , It is precisely because of this that our lives are very precious, and when we are out in battle, there is no place to replenish the casualties. When one is killed and the other is killed, I can't bear the lives of my subordinates. I don't call some Cannon fodder, how can we ensure the safety of our own people?"
Delin's eyes widened and he asked, "But...boss, it cost about three thousand gold coins to recruit these people. If the casualties are too serious, our pension will have to be paid a lot."
Dane waved his hand arrogantly, and said, "It's okay! How can gold coins be as important as the lives of our soldiers?!"
"Okay." Delin nodded and turned his head around.
As Dane said, he didn't regard these temporarily recruited mercenaries as his important combat power at all. His core strength still lies in the team of nearly 250 people brought down from Comilla Island.
This can be seen from the situation of being stationed in this temporary camp, he has no idea of integrating the team at all. He just let Delin continue to lead those mercenaries, and restrained their actions, conducted a little bit of probability training, and stopped meddling. He also had the newly recruited mercenaries stationed on one side of the camp, while his own men were stationed on the other side, with a clear distinction, without any idea of integrating the combat effectiveness of the two teams.
But no matter what, now, the power on paper in Dane's hands has undergone a huge expansion after this. A team of 500 people stayed in the outskirts of Shahaiwan Port, and it was a big event for the entire Shahaiwan Port.
During his time there, rumors abounded in Sandy Bay. Some people say that Dane's horror is planning to return to Schindler; some people say that he is coming back this time to avenge Malone's murder of him last time. Even Malone himself couldn't figure out the situation. In his eyes, there was a brigade of Morno's soldiers in Shawan Port. Now, together with the 500 men of Dane, they had formed a force that could directly threaten him. the strength. Not daring to be careless, he sent several waves of scouts to investigate around Shawan Port, and the focus of the investigation was around Dane's temporary camp.
Dane turned a deaf ear to the rumors about Shawan Harbor. Ma Long's scouts, he just sent a ranger team to expel them, and didn't do much more.
However, although Dane did not appear aggressive, Malone was not at all reassured. The expelled and captured scout team did not dispel his doubts. He is still paying close attention to what happened in Shawan Port, and is still trying to send scouts, with a look of finding out about Dane no matter what. meaning of the trend.
However, this is of no use. How could Ma Long's scout be the opponent of the elite ranger who survived all the way from Nancy's royal court? If it weren't for not wanting to make things big, Ma Long's scout team would have suffered heavy losses in just three days.
Just after Malone had been terrified for three days, on the afternoon of the fourth day, he suddenly received news from the scouts returning from the front: Dane's team had disappeared a day earlier!
