The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

The beef in the storage box at the port earlier... Now that I think about it, it might not be from this island. Maybe it was shipped from the surrounding Broken Islands? Or maybe it was simply looted goods?

"..."

With these questions in mind, Perlis spent the entire morning walking through the woods of Dead Serpent Bay and along the mountain road. She finally reached the edge of Panshe City at noon.

"call..."

Looking from the cliff, the shallows were dotted with numerous crude stone buildings, which looked even more dilapidated than those in Ankamouth. Countless lights emerged from those stone windows, indicating the presence of human habitation.

Unexpectedly but not surprisingly, the security level of this city was much higher than any other place in the Dead Serpent Bay. When Perlis looked over, she saw countless armed soldiers in leather armor walking on the streets, on high alert.

On the edge of Panshe City, there stands a huge port. Countless ships with black sails are parked at the port, and many ships are sailing on the sea on alert, forming a very tight blockade.

We have arrived so soon. There are still two days left before the agreed raid time. In this case, let's just do a simple exploration of the city first.

Thinking of this, Perlis threw the red stone that once belonged to the White Falcon on the cliff as an anchor. Then, she flipped down the cliff, stepped on the almost vertical cliff and fell all the way down, and then disappeared in the woods below the cliff.

"What's the status of the transport hub?"

At noon, on the deck of the "Ice Ocean", Hideo Fujita looked at the busy Ankamouth pier with a haggard look on his face.

"Admiral, the waterway near the Sea Mist Island is very smooth, and supplies can be gathered here soon," the first mate reported with a smile, "The Thebite forces around the Misty Strait have been cleared out by the battleships 'Rising Star' and 'Sideways Synchronicity' and a series of destroyers, and they have basically all retreated."

"Very good," Fujita Hideo nodded, "The supplies from Donglin Island will be delivered in the next two days. If we ensure that the waterway is unobstructed, we can start the first round of bombing on Akihara soon."

Hideo Fujita looked towards the distant west, and suddenly he recalled his hometown, the land covered with golden fields.

His ancestors had worked there, year after year. He rode the waves to the sea, just to protect that fertile land and the joyful songs and laughters that lingered between the blue sea and the sky.

But the Thebits took it all away, iron boots breaking up the golden grass and the blue sky being obscured by an array of steel airships.

"..."

Hideo Fujita clenched his fists tighter and tighter. He wiped the sweat from his forehead that was exposed to the sun, turned around, climbed up the bridge, and returned to the captain's room.

Seeing him return, the civil servant at the desk saluted deeply and began to report:

"Captain, Miss Ayane has left the Sea Mist Island and returned to the capital. At the same time, His Majesty the Blue Emperor has issued an official notice that the Ice Ocean will be responsible for the surveillance and control of the area around the Sea Mist Island. After the siege of the Broken Islands is over, it will join other major flagships in the general attack on Akihara."

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

Fujita Hideo nodded to the civil servant and immediately sat down behind the captain's desk.

He spread out the nautical chart on the table, his eyes fell on the sea area between Donglin Island and Broken Islands, and glanced at it lightly:

"Show me what you can do, Hammerhead Shark."

......

"Boom——"

In the gap between dark clouds and fierce waves, the "Blue Reef" was sailing on the route to the Broken Islands, riding the wind and waves amid thunder.

Furukawa Wataru stood on the bridge with an expressionless face, taking the helm himself, allowing the "Blue Reef" to move forward in the raging winds and waves as flexibly as a mermaid.

Since entering the waters around the Broken Islands, the weather and sea conditions have become increasingly important. Even Grissom Tren, who thought he was very skilled, had to tie himself to the observation platform with a rope to prevent him from falling into the sea from a high altitude.

"..."

"Captain, there is a pirate ship in the southwest!"

The first mate's voice came from the side. Shibata Kazuki was holding a telescope in his hand, trying very hard to spy into the distance in the heavy rain.

"Should we take a detour? Or..."

Furukawa Wataru said nothing, but picked up the monocular telescope engraved with ancient patterns with an expressionless face and looked at the place where the first mate pointed.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a low, hoarse voice:

"Mark the location and transmit it to Donglinyu. We will continue to go deeper."

"Yes!" First mate Kazuki Shibata nodded without hesitation, then left the bridge and started to get things done.

In the heavy rain, the body of the "Blue Reef" rose and fell on the rolling black waves, passing through the broken archipelago and heading towards the Dead Serpent Bay.

......

Passing through the woods on the edge of the Coiled Snake City, Perlis soon found a slightly remote road. She quietly killed the sentinels at the checkpoint, stole their hats and robes, and entered the Coiled Snake City in disguise.

The buildings in the city were very dilapidated. When observing closely, Perlis found that the roads and walls were mostly full of potholes. Although there were no algae and shells inlaid on them, they still revealed an uncomfortable and weird feeling.

From time to time, there were sounds of spitting and laughter coming from the alleys and buildings on the street. A faint stench was floating in the street. Looking at the source of the smell, Perlis's eyes widened, and her calm face was destroyed by surprise.

——Hanging on the roadside are small cages, but living people are locked inside!

Most people were already dead, leaving only tattered clothes and dry bones wrapped in skin. In the remaining cages, there were a few people who looked like mummies still struggling. Their claw-like arms stretched out of the cages, weakly trying to grab something in the air.

Judging from their clothes, Perlis recognized that most of them were merchants and sailors. They were probably captured by pirates and brought to this island, then hung in cages on the roadside as decorations on their streets.

Their crimes are simply too numerous to list...Perlis secretly clenched her fists, but walked silently through the groans and stench hanging above her head, turned a few streets, and entered an alley.

She walked through the dilapidated alleys and headed towards the coastline, and soon arrived at the supply warehouse of Panshe City - Perlis wanted to see what they were doing here, and if possible, she planned to do as much damage as possible.

"..."

The courtyard in front of the warehouse was locked. When Perlis reached out and was about to use a butterfly knife to melt the iron chain, she suddenly heard a voice behind her:

"Hey, kid, what do you want to do?"

Perlis turned her head indifferently and saw two pirates walking out of the alley. They had obscene and scary smiles on their faces and looked at Perlis with ill intentions:

"I'm telling you, I can't be wrong, this is a little girl."

"Hey, kid, how did you escape? Can't the brothers in the yard satisfy you?" A pirate approached Perlis with a big laugh, the muzzle of his rifle pointed at the ground, "They are the benefactors who gave you a second life. How come you stole the clothes and escaped? Come, let me see if you have grown up, and then..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Perlis swung her arms violently, and then there was a sharp pain in her chest -

"Uh!?"

The pirate lowered his head and saw the silver blade piercing his heart. Then his eyes went dark and he fell to the ground twitching.

Perlis swung her arm again, and a red arc of electricity pulled the butterfly knife back to her hand. At the same time, another pirate raised his gun with a grin and pulled the trigger at Perlis.

"Bam—"

"clang--"

Polly effortlessly deflected the bullet with her butterfly knife. With a flash of red light, she instantly moved in front of the pirate and kicked him in the hand.

"Ugh!"

The pirate pulled back his hand in pain, and Perlis took the gun from his hand and put it directly to his chest:

"Wait...wait a minute, I don't..."

"Bam—"

A gunshot rang out, and a big hole was directly shot in the pirate's chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell to the ground and died twitching.

"..."

After doing all this, Perlis did not leave in a hurry. She pulled out the machete from the fallen pirate's waist with an expressionless face, then stabbed the wound on the chest of another pirate.

"Pfft."

Blood spurted out, but was blocked by the factor shield, leaving no trace on Perlis's body. She immediately picked up the gun on the ground and threw it next to the pirate.

After doing this, she quickly looked around, and when she heard footsteps behind her, she jumped lightly onto the roof and hid herself.

At the same time, the gate of the warehouse yard opened, and a dozen pirates with guns came out, shouting and surrounding the two bodies. The leading pirate carefully looked at the state of the bodies, then sighed and cursed:

"F**k, these two sons of bitches, why are they killing each other in front of the warehouse for no reason? Are they crazy?"

"You lost the gambling, hahahahahaha!"

"He's brain dead. He died like a dog."

"Just throw them into a gutter...don't call the cleaner..."

Several pirates burst into laughter. They did not observe the condition of the bodies carefully, but carried them out.

Behind them, Perlis had already passed through the opened iron gate and entered the warehouse without anyone noticing, without leaving any footprints.

......

8) The Last Samurai (Part 6) -Added-

The warehouse was huge, at least much bigger than Perlis had imagined. All kinds of goods were displayed on conveyor belts and transported to the planned areas.

The scale of the warehouse matched its alert level. The guards that Perlis had led out of the courtyard were only part of the guards. Most of the guards were patrolling between the conveyor belts and shelves, holding long-barreled shotguns in their hands. Most of them wore black gluten, and their ferocious eyes kept scanning in the darkness, like hungry wolves looking for food.

Not wanting to alert the enemy, Perlis crept in the dark, slipping past the guards' sight. Soon, she passed through the large area of ​​the warehouse and sneaked into a dark classification storage warehouse.

According to the sign at the entrance of the classified storage warehouse, this is the warehouse for storing grain. After entering the warehouse, Perlis's bloodshot eyes lit up with light circles, and she looked inside the room through the darkness: rows of shelves were filled with bagged food, and according to the quantity, it was estimated that there was about two months of reserve. There were no guards in the room, and the squeaking of mice could be heard from time to time in the darkness, but otherwise it was silent.

"..."

Perlis leaned over the shelf and looked at the bags of food. The mouth of the bag was tied with strips of blue cloth, which looked very casual and simple.

She looked left and right, and felt that the bags seemed familiar, but she couldn't tell where she had seen them.

So, Perlis stood up from the shelf and searched in the dark. She soon found a table with a pile of documents randomly placed on it, looking very messy. It was obvious that the pirates here did not have a good reading habit.

Data? Why would there be data? Did pirates keep statistics on their looting?

Perlis grabbed a stack of information, and when her eyes fell on the title above the information, she took a breath.

This is not a "looting record" but a "shipping manifest."

Cargo list...cargo...could it be that someone is funding these pirates?

A vague memory gradually awakened in Perlis's mind. She quickly searched through a series of freight lists and finally found a shipping record from a few weeks ago.

She looked at the column for the source of the shipment and saw a familiar place name:

"Xilinyu."

In an instant, Perlis recalled the scene she saw when she and Aoi were walking on the dock of Xilin Island: she saw workers wearing blue headscarves carrying goods and loading them onto cargo ships.

If Perlis remembered correctly, Aoi explained where the goods were going:

"Those are the grains shipped from Qiuzhiyuan to Donglin Island."

In other words, the owners of those cargo ships were none other than the Dila government! It was Cang Huang!

However, a large number of the goods that were originally destined for Donglin Island appeared in Dead Snake Bay! The territory of [King of the Islands] Bridge and String!

Considering the undeveloped appearance that Perlis had seen when she was hiking in the Dead Snake Bay, she came to a conclusion:

[The King of the Islands] has always had a sponsor, and this sponsor is [Cang Huang].

The moment the truth came to light, Perlis suddenly felt a chill on her back, as if someone was watching her in the dark. She turned her head sharply, but saw nothing, and the warehouse behind her was still silent.

In other words...the reason why [King of the Islands] was able to form a powerful force in the Broken Islands was largely because [Canghuang] secretly allowed this to happen and provided him with certain funding.

[Cang Huang] personally created the monster that destroyed the old fleet.

And now, the new fleet of the Dila Empire is heading towards the Dead Serpent Bay, preparing to completely eradicate this outdated chess piece.

The tide of the times is rolling in, and the old is about to be abolished.

But why did Watari and Harmony willingly accept being used as a pawn? He devoted himself to Dila and left with disappointment and anger, so why did he follow the trend even though he knew he was a pawn?

"..."

When thinking about the reason, Perlis recalled the four words that the "Golden Man" Kitagawa Kazuhiro lip-read at the Canghai Festival said before his death. They still echo in Perlis' mind:

"Long live Dila."

Perhaps this is the answer.

"..."

Perlis looked through the pile of freight lists again, trying to find the signature approving the delivery, but found that the column had been scribbled out with very crude handwriting, obviously from the hands of pirates.

She didn't waste any more time, but packed up the things, left the dark warehouse, and sneaked in the hall of the warehouse.

After bypassing the guards in the dark, Perlis quickly saw a small warehouse marked "Armory" at the door and sneaked in.

The scene in the armory was similar to that in the granary, except that it was larger in scale and also unguarded. After entering the armory, Perlis searched quickly in the dark and soon found the area where the factor energy shells were stored.
