Chapter 569 Kasu Island* Pioneer Fleet
It was another good morning. There were not many white clouds and the warm sunshine. The lord's mansion was filled with happy laughter from the children. Only those adults still had a hint of worry on their faces. However, when they saw the silver knight walking into the house, they asked him sincerely.
It has been more than a week since the occupation of this Kasu Island. Under the guidance of Leviathan, the Undead Kingdom has developed very smoothly. The scene in the Lord's Mansion in front of me is completely unexpected. Craig never thought that he would find more than 600 native people who were unwilling to leave. Among them, there were more young and middle-aged people who were oppressed by the former Lord and helpless children. Fortunately, the Lord's Mansion was large enough and was far away from the tomb area on the island. After scaring away those who could run away, they were temporarily placed here and prepared to find another opportunity to send them away in the future.
"Kid, we just made lunch. Do you want to eat some?"
A trembling timid voice interrupted his thoughts. He turned to see a girl with a ponytail, a turban, and a little charcoal on her face. Craig remembered that her name was Xia An, probably because she took on the responsibility of the family too early. She was only the age of a little master, but she looked like a woman. She was the first to talk to her, but her good voice always seemed to be unconfident.
As usual, he shook his head without any emotion. Craig did not look at her anymore. He directed the newly created black-armored warrior based on Eames' research and entered the food pantry like the meat of the sea monster that had just been hunted and processed. He was ready to leave as usual, but was unexpectedly stopped by the cowardly voice again.
"Knight~" The horror scene on the day of the arrest was still vivid in my mind. There were also many horrifying undead wandering outside the Lord's mansion. But during this period, everyone understood that this silver knight who did not match them was really not malicious. Seeing him turn around and look at him again, the girl asked him nervously: "Thank you for your care for us. I send fresh food every day, but the vegetables in the mansion are almost gone. Can I..."
Xia Ann didn't dare to say the last words, but Craig, who was once a human, certainly understood what she wanted, but winter just passed. No vegetables had been sown in the farmland, and with Leviathan's "ravaged", he could only look for wild vegetables and mushrooms. This was not something that the undead could do. Not to mention whether it was poisonous or not, they couldn't tell whether it was poisonous or not.
Two equally existing black knights were treated in the magic circle under the care of Leviathan. The eighth-level dark mage of the hand of the Goddess of Dawn had also completed the transformation. He was living in the cemetery to absorb the undead's exclusive power of death energy to restore power. After thinking for a while, he found that there was nothing urgent to do. Craig nodded and agreed to Xia An's request, stretched out his palm and flipped it over. He signaled that only ten people could go out.
Unexpectedly, her request was really agreed. After the girl thanked her repeatedly, she immediately became busy with joy. Then, until she selected ten people from her side, brought tools and food to the gate, she realized that the Silver Knight was not even standing there waiting for her.
"I'm sorry, Knight, I..." The girl apologized immediately in panic, but after halfway through her words, she saw the silver knight turning around and walking out the door, and could only take everyone to follow her uneasyly.

On the calm sea, shortly after the Humphreys fleet saw the fleet of the Island Alliance, the other party also found their traces and soon conveyed the instructions to leave in flags.
But just as Humphreys and Mark hesitated whether to rush over directly or go around the other side of the island to warn Craig, who was obviously not aware of the situation, the other party issued another order asking them to get closer.
After a moment of doubt, both of them thought of a reason: the other party must have seen the flag to which Brion belongs on the mast and was preparing to swallow their large "merchant fleet".
The fleet of the Island Alliance in front of me is very large, consisting of twenty-one warships. According to the time when encountering refugees from Kasu Island, they will never come after receiving the report. Based on the information I received before, it is likely to be the vanguard of the forces to capture Brion and clear the sea surface. Because Kasu Island, located in the northernmost part of the Island Alliance, is also the large island closest to Brion, and is most suitable as a temporary supply station.
At the same time, it can also explain why the other party issued two completely opposite flag words. The occupation of Casu Island made them lose supplies and could only risk robbing them from their own side, which belonged to Brion. Even if a ship was escaped and Brion was warned, it would be better than their entire fleet being trapped by the supply problem.
With such speculation, Humphreys and Mark had the intention to annihilate the fleet, otherwise they would have arrived in the Brion waters, which would be a fatal disaster for the unprepared Vales. Then, after a while of discussion, the two gave up the tempting idea of seizing the enemy ships and issued an order to annihilate the enemy to the entire fleet. Because of the business, the number of people on the thirty ships may not be half of the other party, and the battle on the boarding was unwise.

As Mark and Humphreys expected, the mission of the Alliance Sixth Fleet was indeed to arrive in Brion first, clear the route for the subsequent joint fleet and ensure that friendly forces could land smoothly. However, when they wanted to provide the last supply on Casu Island, they found that there was an unusually strange way to see a living person, and the port was even more messy.
However, the supply was no longer enough to support Brion, and turning around would delay the fighter planes. In desperation, the fleet commander had to order the docking and collect all available supplies, but a terrifying situation occurred again. None of the soldiers sent to the island came back, and the supply was collected at a speed of not enough consumption.
So after waiting for a night, the commander had to send a search team, wasting a day of time again, and when he heard a fleet approaching, he decisively issued an order not to let them get closer. After all, most of the ones who would come to the poor island of Kasu were fleets seeking supplies.
However, when the lookout came from a large merchant fleet of Brion, the commander suddenly felt that the soldiers who had not returned might be a god who was deliberately helping him, and immediately asked the flag bearer to issue an order to get them closer, because no matter how little the supply of the merchant ship was, it would definitely exceed that of the warship, and no matter how bad it was, it could rob a large amount of money.
