“Sir, the initial communication has been completed.”
Adjutant Myron’s tone contained concern. “Six reconnaissance teams, including the Weapon Chief, have lost contact. We’ve tried three times, but they haven’t responded.”
Sir Taize’s expression was as calm as water as he marked the areas where they had lost contact on the temporary map on the shelf.
The earliest bad news was discovered by a reconnaissance team.
They discovered a problem in their regular contact with the surrounding teams and discovered rising black smoke from a bird’s eye view. In the end, they discovered the corpses of their allies that had already been charred by the flames. They could not tell the cause of death or how many enemies there were.
They reported this news. Sir Taize was experienced and knew that the situation was bad. He immediately ordered his adjutant to release the signal and conduct a large-scale call count of the entire island’s investigation team.
Six groups of elves were missing.
Two of the groups discovered corpses, but they were both burned by flames, so they could not obtain any conflict information from the corpses. They did not know how many enemies there were or what methods they used.
The other four groups could not even find the corpses.
Looking at the area map, Sir Taize’s expression was extremely gloomy.
Previously, when he discovered the fragments of the holy artifact one after another, he thought that the golden apple had smashed into his head. However, opportunities and risks coexisted. The trouble he encountered this time was even more troublesome than he had imagined.
He muttered to himself, “Calm down, calm down.”
His good background and extremely high military attainment made him quickly calm down and not be controlled by anxiety and anger. He said, “Mr. Myron, send someone back to the Wayne Wings to report this news to the captain and ask him to speed up the repair of the ship.”
Taize stood in front of the map, and coldness flashed through his eyes, “At the very least, we didn’t gain nothing… The other party used flames to destroy the evidence, and the four missing groups were most likely captured by them. The Goethe people must have discovered something on the island. In that case, it’s easy.”
He took out a ruler and quill and marked a point in the east, west, and south of the island. Then, he said to the adjutant, “Leave ten of the hundred sailors the master brought behind and divide the others into three teams to advance towards these three points. Order them to occupy the high ground, build a lookout post, and closely monitor the surrounding water. If any ships try to leave or come, immediately send out a warning.”
“Order all the investigation teams to retreat immediately and return to the command post to receive the next order.”
When the adjutant heard this, he said in surprise, “Retreat?”
“Yes, retreat,” Sir Taize said firmly. “The enemy is in the dark and we’re in the open. They have the ability to quickly destroy a scouting team without leaving any traces. It’s very troublesome. Moreover, did you notice?”
He pointed at the map. “Six teams were destroyed. Two teams were discovered, and their corpses were all burned. The other four missing teams, look at the locations on the map. Did you discover any patterns?”
Adjutant Myron looked at it for a long time and said shyly, “My talent is limited…”
Sir Taize said indifferently, “Mr. Myron, it’s time for you to take an elective mathematics class. I think that as the era develops and the art of war advances, mathematics will be used more widely.”
“If I’m not wrong, the enemy used extremely ingenious mathematical calculations to choose the target. Every reconnaissance team will contact the surrounding allies at a fixed time to ensure their safety. The enemy chose the weakest link in this safety mechanism and minimized the probability of the target being discovered to be missing…”
Adjutant Myron looked at it a few times and said in realization, “I see… But why don’t the remaining two teams follow this pattern? Moreover, destroying the evidence…”
“I don’t know, at least not yet. He might be misleading us, or he might want us to consume our energy… Therefore, I asked our people to retreat first.”
Sir Taize said, “My mentor told me that there must be a reason for something I can’t understand. I have to think carefully and slowly, especially when I have an advantage. I definitely can’t advance rashly. Therefore, I think that since the Goethe people are playing such a trick, I definitely can’t let them have their way.”
He looked at the Wayne Wings in the distance. “Our advantage is the battleship, but the Goethe people’s disadvantage is the battleship. The performance of our battleship is far higher than theirs. I don’t know their scheme. I only know that no matter how brilliant their plan and trump card are, without the ship, they can forget about leaving this place.”
“Therefore, I don’t mind waiting a little longer. Once the Wayne Wings can set sail again, our warship only needs to patrol this island and find the ship hidden by the Goethe people.”
“Once we find the ship they’re hiding, the Wayne Wings can easily shatter their little toys. Once their ship sinks, it’s useless even if they have a thousand schemes and discoveries, causing them to have no way out. We can slowly circle around them on the Holy Seal Islands and slowly find them and kill them one by one.”
At this point, the elf revealed a cruel sneer.
“Comparing patience with the elves… These humans are really too naive.”
Adjutant Myron said sincerely, “Your wisdom surprises me.”
Sir Taize smiled reservedly.
However, the captain was actually not as calm as he looked.
This was because he was only the captain of the Marine Corps and not a figure who could make the final decision on the ship. Although his plan was safe, he still had to obtain the approval of the ship captain and the master.
“Captain is easy to convince. I hope Master has enough patience…”
He thought to himself, “Also, I have to repair the Wayne Wings quickly…”
On the ship.
The master took the ship back to the battleship. His subordinates and students waited on the deck. After a simple greeting, the Grand Mage quickly returned to his cabin.
It was a luxurious room almost the size of the captain’s room. It shone with the spiritual light of magic and was filled with books and crystal decorations. All kinds of instruments were fixed to the magic table. Even at sea, the master carried out safe arcane experiments every day.
He could not wait to take out those “holy artifact fragments”.
To a spellcaster, these spiritual items that were branded with the path of the strong were simply more tempting than peerless beauties in the world. The feeling of prying into the cultivation and path of others… was too satisfying.
It really surpassed all other joys.
Just like the classic saying of a famous Legendary Mage in history at the Arcane Council—the so-called Great Archmage had to be a virgin.
This sentence was widely circulated as a joke to tease the mages, but it was deeply agreed upon by the spellcasters. After all, a person’s energy was limited. If he wanted to achieve something on the path of arcane magic, he had to abandon the other boring temptations and ties in the world. To Master Rackles, loyalty to the Empress and the country had already taken a lot of his energy, let alone his partner and power.
If possible, he hoped that he could live a peaceful life.
He could freely study what he wanted and not be disturbed and obstructed.
However, this thought was destined to be extravagant.
He had only studied it for a while when he heard the bad news.
“What? Sir Taize wants to bide his time and wait for the Wayne Wings to sink the Goethe battleship first?”
When Master Rackles heard this news, he immediately revealed an extremely displeased expression, “I don’t agree! The Goethe people are thinking of ways to ambush our soldiers. They must want to obstruct our search. There’s a huge secret hidden on the Holy Seal Islands. They must have discovered something!”
He looked at the captain and said in a low voice, “Please immediately order him to start a sweep and search and find the whereabouts of the Goethe people as soon as possible! We’ve only been on the island for a few hours and we’ve already discovered so many precious holy artifact fragments. The Goethe people must have discovered more than us! Perhaps they’ve already found something more precious!”
“What if they discover the weapons left behind by those rebels? Or even find something stronger… It’s not impossible! Every minute we delay now is irresponsible to the dynasty!”
The master’s words were sharp and aggressive.
The captain was a little hesitant. He was also an experienced officer and agreed with Sir Taize’s cautious attitude and train of thought. They were the proud Royal Navy and focused on ships. As long as they sank the other party’s battleship, they would obtain all the initiative. The captain’s tactical train of thought was very to his liking.
Therefore, he said softly, “I think these few hours won’t matter. When the ship is repaired, we’ll immediately set off to cruise. Just as Sir Taize said, as long as we find their ship, we’ll win.”
The master could not argue with him and left with a flick of his sleeve.
After all, the captain was the most powerful and prestigious person on this ship.
Moreover, this was the Holy Seal Islands. Master Rackles could not use his shocking magic power. His combat strength was no different from a rookie’s. His back was not hard, and he could not speak loudly.
He was very angry and walked faster.
Suddenly, his shoulder relaxed and the beautiful parrot suddenly flapped its wings and flew up.
The master was shocked and turned to look.
This parrot was very intelligent and extremely obedient. After boarding the ship, it did not leave his shoulder. When it quarreled with the captain just now, this parrot was only waiting quietly. What was wrong now?
—Forget it, forget it.
He looked at the parrot that had already flown high. It was in a dilemma and was not in the mood to care about this beast. Moreover, it was given by Sir Taize. Now, the master’s impression of the marine captain had already plummeted.
With a dark expression, he returned to the cabin and ignored the parrot.
Therefore, he did not know that this beautiful parrot did not leave the battleship. Instead, it spread its wings and flew into the battleship through the hatch, flying through the complicated internal structure.
It was as if it had returned to its home.
It flew towards the magic core cabin of the Wayne Wings.
