With the joining of Julio and the Pope, the disparity in combat power between the two sides was balanced.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly tense, Shanshan, who seemed to have a headache, walked between the two of them.
"Dad is still in the hands of the Foundation. Do you really think this is a good time to engage in a war? Perhaps we can wait for him to come back and resolve this conflict."
"Wait for him to come back? Wait for him to come back and act as a peacemaker? No need, I don't like to waste time." Anna's words were full of sarcasm.
The crew of the Narwhal did not object to this point, and they also agreed with it very much.
It was obvious that his captain was being controlled by this monster who wanted to sacrifice the entire island, so it would be best to take this opportunity to get rid of the trouble.
Seeing that her mother had no intention of stopping, Shanshan looked at the other crew members and quickly said, "Dad has been captured by the Foundation! The Foundation is also trying to cleanse the entire Earth Sea! For everyone, Mom will sacrifice the island."
This time, Shanshan's words finally worked. Bandage turned his head and looked at her, "What do you mean?"
Under Shanshan's persuasion, both sides reluctantly sat down and began to negotiate.
"This is what happened. Mom didn't sacrifice everyone on the island to improve her own strength. She did it to save Dad." Shanshan sat in the middle of the long table and explained to both sides.
The crew members stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to recover. They finally found darkness again, but the Foundation wanted to kill all humans in Earthsea again
Why is their luck always so bad? Everything happens to them.
"Even if what you said is true, there is no need to sacrifice our own island. Can't we sacrifice other islands?" Dipper said unwillingly.
"Do you think other islands will offer sacrifices to us? Do you think other islands have as many people as Hope Island?" Anna crossed her arms, with indifference in her eyes.
In fact, what she just said was just pretending, and she didn't really want to fight them to the death.
"Don't expect you to be of any help. In a battle of this magnitude, you are useless except as sacrifices to gain blessings from the gods."
After a moment of silence, Bandage began to speak. "Show me the letter the captain left behind."
While he was reading the letter, Anna looked meaningfully at Julio standing beside her.
"You really care about the matter of Hope Island. I asked you to hand over the Pope but you always refused. It turns out that there is another use for him."
"I have a feeling that Charles' disappearance is not that simple. For some things, the sooner you prepare, the better. Now it seems that I guessed right." Julio replied in a low voice.
"Haha, you'd better put your thoughts aside. No matter whether Charles can come back or not, Hope Island will always be yours, and you will never be able to occupy it." Anna said with a teasing and warning, then turned her head to look at the bandage.
"Don't read it. You won't find a single word if you keep reading. This is the only way, unless you can find a way to fight the Foundation. Otherwise, if you say it's not worth it to kill so many people, then I really look down on you."
Bandage's eyes shifted from the note to Anna's face, "I agree with your plan"
Upon hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes. This was really beyond everyone's expectations that the first mate actually agreed.
"However, we have to rescue the captain first and let him make the decision." After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmph. You guys are really annoying. I really hope you all disappear." The smile on Anna's face became brighter and brighter, and her white teeth made people feel cold.
"Da." Shanshan's hand suddenly rested on her arm.
After taking a look at her daughter, Anna reached out and knocked her hand away. "There must be spies from the Foundation on the island. If we want to save Charles, the fewer people who know about it, the better. We also need to come up with a rescue plan."
"Excuse me, I don't care what you do next. Let me tell you the reward for my help. First, you must let me stay with Lily. Second, if we defeat the Foundation in the end, I will need a part of their god's body and all the information in the central computer."
This is the Pope's request, and obviously everyone has their own thoughts.
Anna and Bandage looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "Okay."
At present, they need the combat power of the Pope. If the request is not too excessive, we will try our best to meet it.
"I don't trust you. I need to perform a sacrificial ceremony, use the gods as the arbitrator, and sign a contract."
"Bang!!" James stood up suddenly with red eyes and said angrily: "Are you done yet! The Foundation is targeting the entire Earthsea!!"
James obviously couldn't accept the thought that everyone on the island was about to be sacrificed, and he was almost emotionally broken.
The Pope looked at him calmly. "Do you think I care?"
"Okay, I agree to your request, but you'd better get value for money." Anna looked at his childish face.
"Don't worry, kid. I've been dealing with the Foundation for a much longer time than you have. In order to unseal the God of Light, the God of Light and I led the entire Church of the God of Light to spend less time on them. By the way, let me ask you, is this the only power above level 15?"
After thinking for a while, Shanshan said, "I will send Swan back to Longka. I am helping him with repairs recently. When Longka is repaired, he should also be counted as one. After all, he is the chosen one by God."
The Pope looked at Shanshan with some surprise, "I've heard of you. I heard that you are Charles' daughter, and your strength is even stronger than him? Maybe we can find a time to compete with each other."
The sound of Anna's fingers tapping on the table attracted everyone's attention. "I will be in charge of this operation. I don't want to compete with others for command."
Just as they were preparing to rescue Charles, Charles had already been tied up and sent to the operating room.
"Hello, Mr. Catheter, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of yourself as this is our first meeting. I'm Dr. Sparrow, your chief dissector, and these are my assistants."
A bald man in a white coat and some young people bowed respectfully to Charles. His skin was iron blue and he did not look like a normal human, at least not a normal clone.
Looking at their posture, Charles felt uneasy. "The Foundation is planning to dissect me?"
