As summer approaches, the nights also become shorter.

The sky has already become misty and bright before the sun rises from the sea level in the east, and the originally quiet streets of Beacon Town are now becoming noisy and noisy as the light continues.

With an expressionless face, Molly held a sea people scimitar and slashed the head of a person who tried to attack her from behind. Looking at the head rolling on the ground, Molly still calmly kicked him in.

A house on fire ahead.

The guy who had his head cut off was a minor leader in this faction, and he was also the captain of a warship. Not long ago, he expressed his sincerity to Molly very affectionately. However, although the other party's acting skills were top-notch,

This kind of cover-up couldn't be hidden from Molly's eyes at all. Molly didn't say anything to the other party at the beginning. She just silently briefly exchanged opinions with several other people, and only let them know after confirming the identities of the remaining traitors.

Abboud set fire outside and then took advantage of the situation to kill the traitor.

Generally speaking, this kind of personnel loss is still within the acceptable range, because except for a few restless and small leaders who have already taken refuge with others, the remaining ones are still the core members of the faction, and

Although they are not very loyal to Molly, at least they will not do something stupid like raising a flag to rebel.

Of course, Molly didn't want to have a group of disobedient subordinates, so after she finally dealt with these traitors, she decided to part ways with a few disloyal guys, and then roughly divided the ships and supplies in the port.

Everyone goes their own way.

But as far as the results are concerned, the re-division in Beacon Town is not that bad. Although the property and manpower have been reduced by more than half, what is left is basically property that can be safely controlled and relatively trustworthy subordinates.

This can even be considered a good new addition to a certain plan in Molly's heart. asxs..

The moment the sun just emerged from the sea level, Molly left the small port of Lighthouse Town with three ships and 120 men and sailed towards the west. The reason why she was so anxious about the manna was because of the scene in the early morning.

The fire attracted too much attention, even the attention of the jackals stationed in Beacon Town. However, by that time, almost all the information about Zanella had been spread through various means, so Molly really couldn't do anything anymore.

She continued to stay, and some of her intelligence sources also reminded her that a scimitar plundering fleet had sailed out of Zanera's port not long ago, and its purpose was self-evident.

Although Molly also has several ships under her command, she actually only has one warship, the Blue Pearl. Although the other ships are also armed, they are nothing more than armed cargo ships. If it is really different from the professionals inside the Scimitar

There was no hope of victory in the battle to plunder the fleet, so Molly decided to run away quickly.

The fastest planned route to the west is naturally to go directly to the Fang Coast and then enter the Big Fish Bay, but the Fang Coast is the territory of the orcs, and humans, especially the ships of the Scarlet Scimitar, will definitely be detained if they pass there.

The ships of the Wa tribe were intercepted and sunk. Although the ships of the Suowa tribe did not have many warships, they could not withstand the many ships in their hometown. In addition, there was a grudge between the orcs and the scimitar pirates, so Molly did not think that she could

There is a chance to successfully cross the Fang Coast.

The normal western route is to bypass the Fang Coast, so the sailing time usually takes about 3 days. Although the time is not long, it is a pity that Molly is not willing to choose this route because this fleet was previously in the port of Lighthouse Town.

The place did not receive supplies, especially fresh water supplies. After all, the Beacon Town side was a trap, so the traitor did not prepare sufficient supplies at the port, and this problem was only discovered after Molly and the others left the port. Considering

The four ships currently have only fresh water reserves, and I am afraid that the fresh water in the cabins will be exhausted by tonight, so this problem really gives Molly a headache.

However, just when Molly was scratching her head and thinking about whether to send someone to the shore to get some fresh water before she had completely left the fjord area, she suddenly heard a big commotion coming from outside the captain's cabin. This movement

Something didn't sound right, so Molly subconsciously picked up the weapon on the table and prepared to go out to take a look. But when she just walked to the door, she heard a guard hurriedly calling Molly nervously outside the door,

It seemed that someone had sneaked onto the ship and asked to see Molly by name.

Molly was a little confused about this, because if ordinary stowaways sneaked onto the ship, the guards outside would not be frightened like this, but if the enemy outside was stronger than them, it is estimated that there would have been an attack outside this time.

It's time to get up. For safety reasons, after hesitating for a while, Molly walked out of the captain's cabin and went to the deck outside. She also found the so-called "..." on the deck where there were a large number of guards holding long-handled weapons.

"Stowaway".

"Good morning, Captain Molly. I want to talk to you." The stowaway Azmat used an orc attitude and smiled kindly at Molly, who had just walked out of the captain's cabin with a frightened look on her face.

Molly looked at the orc in front of her who was a head taller than all her guards and couldn't help but her mind went blank for a moment. Until she heard the other person greeting her in the extremely proficient Anno language, she reacted slowly and subconsciously clicked.

nodded.

"Chief!" Aboud saw Molly nodding and couldn't help but hurried over to stop him: "This is too dangerous, I think..."

"Can you kill him?" Molly asked abruptly.

"Um...well..." Although Aboud is also a good fighter, that is only limited to human pirates. But at best, he is just a slightly more professional human being. For a natural warrior like an orc,

It would take at least a few qualified people to be qualified, so Aboud was immediately a little embarrassed about Molly's question.

"I recognize this orc. He should be Azmat from the Zaula tribe. I remember you have seen his portrait." Molly took a deep breath and said calmly: "I was in the winery before.

I saw him fighting Abbas when he was imprisoned, and I have seen each other's portraits and related information before. If he wanted to, I don't think the people on this ship could survive in his hands...

…”

Aboud's head twitched in reality, and then he subconsciously turned around to take a look at the orc's strong physique. It was true, but in terms of size, this guy was definitely not much bigger than Abbas. And after Molly's prompting, Aboud also wanted to

Before getting up, when I went to rescue Molly with Molette, I saw the battle taking place in the winery compound in the distance. However, due to the dim light and anxiety at the time, Aboud did not observe as carefully as Molette.

, and even later forgot about it.

Azmat is familiar to any Scarlet Scimitar Pirates. After all, in the past, the main opponents of the Scimitar Pirates were the orcs of the Fang Coast, and among them was Azmat, the orc hero of Zaura.

They are most feared and troubled by the scimitar pirates. Speaking of other orcs, perhaps fighting them one-on-one will not bring much advantage, but pirates always like to rob in groups, so they often

Select some small orc settlements with small populations to raid.

Once upon a time, when the friction between the pirates and the orcs reached its peak, they carried out plundering activities involving tens of thousands of people. However, this robbery was not very successful in the end, because although the harvest was not small, the pirates' casualties were not great.

It was also quite serious. Later statistics said that more than 10,000 people died in the robbery, and among them, no less than 3,000 were killed by Azmat alone. This was just that

According to the statistics in a battle, there have actually been at least a thousand conflicts between scimitar pirates and orcs since this guy appeared. So no one knows how many pirates this guy Azmat has killed. It can be seen from this that Azmat

What kind of status does Azmat have in the hearts of the scimitar pirates? In addition, Azmat stepped on the bones of the pirates and became the hero of the Zaula tribe.

Abboud had participated in several plundering activities against the orcs as early as 2000. However, due to his background, he had mostly engaged in sea battles with the ships of the Suowa tribe on ships. He rarely went on the road, so he had not personally experienced Aboud.

Zmat's terrifying combat power. But this does not change his view of Azmat, although he is not like other old pirates who are frightened and incontinent just by hearing the name "Azmat".

, but at least Aboud would never underestimate Azmat’s combat power.

But what Abboud didn't know was that he was somewhat biased in his estimation of Azmat's strength. He felt that Azmat was about the same level as Abboud. He also privately thought that Azmat was from the Zaula tribe.

Azmat was not used to water, so he felt that the other party was like a caged bird after getting on the boat.

Abboud's prejudice was not too obvious. After all, Azmat's purpose of risking boarding the ship was not to contact him.

Molly took a careful look at Azmat, who was surrounded by guards with long-handled weapons in front of her. She was still able to perform with ease even under such a threat that the sword and halberd blades were almost in contact with her body. If it hadn't been before

If you were lucky enough to witness his battle with Abbas, maybe Molly would make the same mistake as Aboud.

"All of you, please stand down." Molly dismissed the guards surrounding Azmat. Although they were still not at ease, they still carried out Molly's order. Except for a few guards who were devoted to Molly, they still were not convinced.

In addition to Ken leaving Molly's side, the other guards and crew members all left the nearby deck.

While Molly was commanding the crew, Azmat was also observing the performance of Molly and the other crew members on the ship with great interest. Apparently Azmat also understood Molly's delicate situation at this moment.

"First of all, please allow me to express my gratitude to you." Molly bowed to Azmat with an emotionless fake smile and said, "If it weren't for your previous battle with Abbas, maybe I wouldn't have a chance to be rescued.

.”

"I'm serious, I later heard that your father Molette had a fight to the death with Abbas, right?" Azmat also briefly gestured to Molly and then said with pretense of regret: "Although he is a commander,

He is a despised enemy, but I admire his behavior of sacrificing himself to save his daughter."

"Indeed, even I didn't expect this myself." Molly echoed Azmat's words, and then looked thoughtfully at Aboud next to her.

After all, Molette came to save him because Abboud personally went to Mollet and negotiated with him after the accident last night. Although Molly also asked him about the situation, Abboud did not explain it in such detail, so it was

Let Molly be a little confused about this.

"I wonder why Zaura's hero came to my ship as a guest?" Molly quickly changed the topic to the key point.

"There are indeed some very important things that I want to talk to you about, but before that... I have some things that need to be confirmed." Azmat glanced at the guards beside Molly and then looked at the ones behind him.

Several cargo ships that followed asked: "Captain Molly, have you escaped from the Scarlet Scimitar Pirates?"

"Oh? That's a really to-the-point question." Molly responded decisively without any hesitation: "Yes, for now, I have indeed left the Scarlet Scimitar, and it is unlikely that I will go back in the future.

"

"Well, so you and the Scimitar Pirates have become enemies, right?" Azmat asked very directly: "Is it possible to reconcile with them in the future?"

"It's not realistic. After all, although Molette... was once the leader of Scimitar, it was a pirate group with a history of hundreds of years. There were many factions in it, and it was never an industry belonging to one person. So in the future, I

They may confront them tit for tat, or they may plunder or embezzle their property, but they will not seize the leader's position." Molly said very decisively and skillfully, obviously having prepared these words before.

However, based on Molly's performance, Azmat felt that the other party was not lying. At least, the inadvertent disgust in Molly's eyes when she mentioned "Machete Pirates" did not seem to be fake. Anyway, it may not be.

One hundred percent truth, but not a lie.

"I understand." Azmat nodded clearly, then looked at the captain's cabin door behind Molly and said, "Can we go to a quiet place to talk?"

"Of course, but..." Molly smiled sweetly, but then she put on a colder face and said, "I have just answered your questions, but you didn't tell me the purpose of your visit.

"

"Oh, it was my mistake. After all, I haven't negotiated with humans for a long time, so please forgive me." Azmat raised his hand and rubbed his furry chin. Although it was just a habitual action, when he

The moment he raised his hand, everyone present was still stunned. Even the archers hiding in the distance almost let go of the bowstring in their hands in shock. These people lurking elsewhere were naturally attracted by Ah from the beginning.

Zmat observed, but he didn't care. He just apologized slightly and then looked at Molly and replied: "I heard you talking about the supply problem on the ship before, and I also know that there are pursuers behind you.

.The conditions I am giving now are that if we can have a good talk, as a thank you I can let you pass through the Fang Coast and go to Big Fish Bay safely. Of course, if you want supplies, there is no problem."

Azmat's answer made Molly feel a bit toothache. After all, this condition sounds a bit perfunctory, but to be honest, at this moment, it is indeed particularly important for Molly and her group of four ships. It's just that they have to follow

It still made Molly a little uneasy for Azmat to talk about this matter. After all, Azmat never explained what he wanted to talk about, but judging from the fact that he always wanted to talk to her alone

, obviously the matter he wanted to ask was somewhat sensitive.
