Early the next morning.

Star Harbor Pier.

Lead clouds hung low, the air was damp and stuffy, and gulls and crows screamed.

There was a crowd of people surrounding the pier.

The soldiers lined up, waiting for the queen to inspect.

The king is missing, the sea is dangerous, the queen is seriously ill, the prince is young, and the kingdom is in depression, making this small country in danger.

The faces of the subjects were solemn.

They gathered outside the port to see the expedition off.

For this expedition, the kingdom could only send one warship.

It is said to be a battleship, but it is basically transformed from an ordinary commercial sailing ship.

This country's military strength is not good. The only three warships disappeared along with the king during the first three Black Mist expeditions.

The urgently renovated warship is broken and small, as if it will be overturned by the waves at any time.

For this operation, the queen arranged for 42 soldiers from the kingdom and recruited 33 private entourage, as well as George and a doctor.

77 people in total.

What an auspicious number.

The queen went out dressed up today, her paralyzed feet hidden under the thick skirt.

The butler Zoro didn't know where he found a pair of supports, which he hid in his skirt, allowing the queen to barely stand.

Heiyuan stood beside her, looking at the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, feeling very sad for this great woman.

The queen seemed to feel something, she tilted her head slightly and smiled in return.

Heiyuan didn't even dare to look directly at her current gaze.

calm,

There was even a hint of relief.

Andrew, Ruthie and Cyril were sent to the Traveller's Inn before dawn, and Old Jack put them in a room with Anne.

The children are very sensible and neither noisy nor fussy.

The queen nodded slightly towards Heiyuan to express her gratitude.

The team is about to depart.

The atmosphere became extremely tragic.

The sea breeze made a roar, blew up the sails on the mast, and blew up the clothes of the soldiers.

The queen's face became paler and her body began to tremble. She could no longer hold on.

"Set sail." She raised her right arm and shouted with all her strength.

"Triumph."

"Triumph." There were tears in the eyes of the old butler Solo.

"Triumph." Old Jack, the owner of the Travelers Tavern, waved.

"Triumph." Old Jerry, the leader of the mercenary association, roared toward the sky.

"Triumph." Everyone shouted.

Hei Yuan swept across the audience, and a surge of heroic spirit emerged in his chest.

He looked up to the sky, and the energy in his body surged.

"Triumph."

Everyone was shaken by his fierce slogan and stared at him blankly.

Most of the survivors of the mercenary team that participated in the invasion of the forest the day before yesterday were still recuperating at home. Otherwise, they would have been full of enthusiasm and courage when they heard George's cry.

This triumph hit people's hearts like a huge invisible hammer.

There was a lot of hope for this operation.

The queen smiled at George again and leaned back with Thoreau's support.

Heiyuan's heart tightened and he raised his hand to say his final farewell to her.

...

Among the spectators in Flower Moon Valley.

Many people were moved by it.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu2uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu They are so stupid. They know that they will definitely die, but they still go to search for it. They are so stupid."

"Why does my heart hurt?"

At this moment, the audience's hearts were also confused as the fleet went away.

The audience, immersed in sadness and despair, was thinking about one question.

"What's in the black mist?"

...

The fleet sailed slowly on the sea.

It's windy today, so the ship's forward speed is not slow.

Charles stood on the deck and raised his telescope to look.

"George, come and see, there is black mist."

Without the help of telescopes, Black Abyss has discovered the existence of black fog.

In fact, when we were at Star Castle, we could vaguely see the rich blackness on the horizon.

It is very much like the low-hanging dark clouds before a storm.

Darker than the clouds.

There is something in the cloud

lightning.

Those 33 random personnel were assigned to do the most menial jobs, and the soldiers needed to be vigilant at all times.

Four cannons were installed on the warship, arranged on the left and right sides of the ship.

This warship, which was transformed from a cargo ship, has to carry people, weapons and shells, as well as baggage, and has a large draft.

Two experienced captains serve as helmsmen.

"There is still one day of sea journey, and we should be able to reach the edge of the black fog. George, your injury is not fully healed yet. Go into the cabin and take a rest."

Without any pretense, Heiyuan nodded and walked towards the cabin.

In fact, he was not going to rest, but to learn about the weapons layout and personnel situation on the warship.

In addition, he also wanted to see someone.

Someone who made his heart palpitate.

...

The air in the cabin was very stale and mixed with all kinds of weird smells.

The crew is working.

Seeing George arriving, everyone straightened up and greeted him.

He grabbed a crew member and asked: "Where is Zank?"

The crew member pointed in the direction.

The space inside the ship's cabin was extremely small, and the crew had to walk between cargo and shells.

Every empty space is perfectly utilized.

After traveling for a while, Heiyuan arrived outside a cabin. This was in the back half of the warship, and the space was even narrower.

"Zanke." He called inside.

After the ** forest ended, the second group of mercenaries found the unconscious Zanke in the dense forest and sent him back to the castle.

As Charles's deputy and not too injured, Zanke was naturally one of the members of the expedition team.

He was burying himself in a pile of documents, looking for something, and when he heard a shout, he suddenly raised his head and bumped into the crossbar above his head.

"Oh, it's George."

Heiyuan saw what kind of paper he was hiding behind his back, but didn't ask.

"looking for me?"

"It's okay, I stopped by to see if your injury is better." Heiyuan said with a smile that didn't show his teeth.

"My injury is not a problem, but you should have a good rest. We relied on you to save our lives in the ** Forest." Zanke spoke very politely, completely different from the arrogant and arrogant person he usually is.

"I told you to make fish soup tonight, please drink more."
