The Long Sail and the Dry Fire stayed side by side for about half a day before parting ways at sea. Originally, Dodoro was going to get some supplies at Shawan Port. The nameless island he occupied, although there were no monsters, was also a deserted island, and it was very small, about a thousand acres of land. . Not to mention food, there is no place to replenish fresh water, so I can only go to Shawan Port every few days. Especially during this period of time, they were still wanted by the Florentine navy. They couldn't even go back to their old lair, and they didn't dare to plunder.
Dane expressed sympathy for this, but he quickly thought of another thing, and mentioned it to Dodoro.
"You don't dare to go to the Gold Coast, you can go east and find trouble with those orcs. Although those guys are difficult to deal with on land, they are weak at sea and easy to bully. Moreover, I can provide you with a way , if only you could snatch some slave ships."
He was right. Although the edge of the coastline of the Eastern Wasteland is not as prosperous as the Gold Coast, there will still be some caravans doing orc business, as well as the ships of the orc tribe. On the eastern wasteland, apart from some native products, the most developed trade goods were slaves. Orc slaves, half-orc slaves, and human slaves are all quite popular.
But not popular with pirates.
Pirates don't like to rob slave ships, because it's too much trouble, it's not easy to deal with, and there is no oil. First of all, the slave hunting group is not easy to rob. A slave hunting group that can handle a ship of slaves is generally not too weak in its own strength, and it will cost a lot to rob them.
Even if the looting was successful, a boatload of slaves would have to be provided for food and drink. Otherwise, if the slaves died, it would be a great loss. It is also very difficult for pirates to sell a large number of slaves. After all, pirates have no official status, and the large-scale slave trade is beyond what they can do.
So pirates rather hate running into slave ships.
So, Dodoro said: "Slave ship? What am I going to do to grab that thing?"
"If you really have no choice, you can grab it. The slave you snatched is not easy to deal with, so you can sell it to me directly."
"Why do you want so many slaves? A slave ship can have one or two hundred slaves. Can you eat it?"
"If you can bear it, don't worry, you won't lose a single gold coin."
"Well, if there is such a thing, I will remember to take it to Comilla for you."
…
After finishing the conversation, the two ships parted ways, and Dane and the others arrived at Comilla Island in the afternoon of the next day.
It was difficult for big ships to go ashore, and there were no ports or piers on Comilla Island. They could only lower the anchor on the Long Sail, and then everyone went up to the coast in small boats.
On the way to land, Dane was most worried that the group of faceless men would detect their arrival and launch a sudden attack. Therefore, he took the lead and was the first to set foot on the land of Comyrya, with Delin, Sako and Golobo following him. These are his three most loyal and most powerful subordinates. Delin is a ranger, with longbow and long sword as his good weapons, Golobo is a berserker with a giant axe, and Shako is even more special, he is a very rare wandering knight.
With a dozen or so mercenaries, the four of them quickly established a line of defense on the shore. While they were vigilant towards the rocky forest in the interior of the big island, they guarded a temporary safe place and waited for the other brothers in the mercenary group to complete the landing. Dodoro's warning from Comilla Island was still ringing in his ears, and Dane didn't want his troops to be attacked by the Faceless when they landed.
However, sometimes this kind of thing doesn't mean that he won't come if he doesn't want to.
Before the second wave of soldiers got off the landing boat, several faceless men appeared in front of Dane and the others. After those faceless people found their traces, they rushed up decisively, as if they saw the enemy of life and death.
"Six." Dane spat out two words and said, "Quickly solve it, don't delay!"
After saying that, he himself rushed forward first.
The combat effectiveness of these faceless men is not weak. In terms of individual strength, they are even stronger than the veterans of the Dread Mercenary Corps who have experienced many battles. They have no armor or weapons, but those tentacles are extremely tough and powerful. With Dane's strength level of 19 points, he is barely capable of suppressing it.
But this is a battle with him in person. He dealt with the three faceless men alone, and the remaining three were also dealt with by Delin, Shako and Golobo. There will not be any major problems. . After cleaning up the six faceless men in twos and threes, Dane and the others finally created a relatively stable landing environment.
But his complexion was not very good-looking. People without long-term considerations must have short-term worries. Just after landing, they were attacked by Faceless Men. It is obvious that there are not a few such monsters on this deserted island. No need to think about it, this must be a very big threat that Dane and the others must face.
Six Faceless, they can take care of easily, but sixty? The Horror Mercenary Corps may have to pay a considerable price. But on Comilla, who knows how many Faceless there are? Under the continuous attacks of these monsters, the construction work of the territory will face troubles, I am afraid it will not be small.
No wonder, no one has come to develop such a huge island like Comilla. In addition to the bad geographical environment, the danger brought by these monsters is also very great. If there are too many monsters on this island, I am afraid that without a large-scale army, they will not be able to clean them up. And in such a place where even safety cannot be guaranteed, how could there be such a good development
Now it seems that Dane will face quite a challenge if he wants to gain a foothold on the desert island of Cormyr.
This is something to be worried about. What's worse, he doesn't know much about his enemies, the number is unknown, and the distribution of forces is unknown. What's more, he can't be sure now. Is the face monster an intelligent creature
Thinking about all the questions that came to his mind, Dane couldn't relax his brows at all. He vigilantly observed the surrounding environment, for fear that there would be a second wave of monsters rushing up.
Fortunately, until more than two hundred mercenaries had all landed, the Faceless Man he had been wary of never reappeared in the end.
It was far from the time to relax his vigilance, Dane planned to build a temporary camp at the landing point, so he had to figure out the surrounding situation.
So, he said: "Derlin, Sacco, Golobo, you three, each take two teams to scout the vicinity. If you encounter an enemy, don't be alarmed, quietly record the information and return. If you encounter In case of an attack, don't touch it head-on. If you can retreat, just retreat. If you can't retreat, send a signal for help. I will bring support there. All in all, your most important task is to detect the information in our vicinity. We have to establish Build a strong camp."
The three nodded in agreement, each took two teams and headed in three different directions.
The establishment of the Horror Mercenary Group is learned from most human countries on the mainland. Based on squads, a squad consists of twelve people, five squads form a squadron, and the squadron has sixty people. Now, in Dane's hands, there are only three squadrons of mercenaries in total, and one-third of the force can be used for investigation, which shows how much Dane attaches importance to the collection of surrounding information.
After the three of them set off, Dane spread out a crude map.
This map is of Comilla. No one knows how big Comilla is, because it is full of dangers and has no economic benefits. Except for some risky adventurers, there will never be a large-scale development team here, and it is naturally difficult to meet There are accurate maps.
But just the currently proven area of Comilla Island is almost more than 5,000 square kilometers. This is a rather large area, almost as large as a small province. If these more than 5,000 square kilometers are all good land with lush water and grass, it will be no problem to feed three to five million people.
pity…
The map in Dane's hand was drawn by adventurers who occasionally came to Comilla Island, and there is no way to guarantee its accuracy. But there is no way, Dane only has such a thing in his hand, and he got it from the halfling businessman Goodale who sold the big island to him, so he can only make do with it.
During the seven days on board, he didn't do anything else, so he concentrated on studying the map. And the place they landed now is Dane's final research result. He has already made a decision, and the first important foothold on Comilla Island is here. He even imagined that this place has the potential to be an excellent port. He really wanted to initially build a pier here. In the future, after the real development of Comilla Island, this pier will also become an important channel for Dane's independent kingdom to communicate with the outside world.
He thought for a moment, and then cried out, "Tommy! Tommy! Where have you been loafing?"
Tommy ran over quickly, and said ghostly, "Boss, I'm here."
Dane didn't criticize him as usual, but said: "Smart ghost, you go and command our people to set up a temporary camp in this area first, and organize people to carry some supplies from the boat. First, pay attention to defense, The fence wall is made stronger, we are going to settle here first."
"Ok, no problem!"
