Alien paradise

"Commodore Fenier, I saw the sailors on the deck carrying cannonballs. What does this mean?"

In the captain's room of the flagship Bibo, Ryan frowned and questioned the fleet commander, "I have emphasized to you that Brilliant Castle has not fallen into the hands of cults or thugs. The city is still in order. As long as the fleet arrives for patrol, Just drag it. Even if Mr. Farrelly really falls into the hands of the Paradise Cult, we can still solve it through negotiation!"

Fenier poured himself a cup of coffee slowly before replying slowly, "I have to remind you, Commander Lane, I am the commander of this fleet, not you. The information you provided can be used as For reference, but it cannot be regarded as reality. A very simple reason. Even though the lords have disappeared, the city still maintains basic order. Can I understand that the Paradise Cult has replaced the functions of the lords? This is absolutely not allowed in the laws of the kingdom. Permissible situation.”

He took a sip of coffee as he spoke, "Once people gain power, it's difficult to let go easily. I've encountered this kind of thing a lot. So adding a little more pressure to them is not a bad thing for you and me." "

"Do you want to open fire on the city?" Ryan said quietly.

"I remember you mentioned that the stronghold of this church is in the Yeni Holy Church, right?" Finier glanced at the city map on the table, "If a few cannonballs can land within ten meters of the Holy Church, I will I think their leader will be a lot easier to talk to."

"The church is surrounded by residential areas, how can you guarantee that the shells will not miss the target?" Ryan said in disbelief, "We are an investigation team, not a combat force, and your mission is to protect us and complete the investigation!"

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I am protecting you now!" The other party's tone became impatient. "One of the people in the investigation team is still missing. He is probably imprisoned by the Paradise Cult you call. If there are not enough As a deterrent, who will guarantee his safety? Does it depend on you?"

"Even if Mr. Farrellan can be replaced in this way, we will become enemies of the Paradise Sect!" Ryan shook his head, "Believe me, you don't want to be an enemy of the sect that defeated the evil god head-on."

"Really?" Finir raised the corner of his mouth slightly as if he heard some joke, "But Mr. Lane... the navy is different from the army. We are the sharpest sword in the kingdom and are never afraid of any enemy."

Ryan couldn't help but clenched his fists. As long as he thought about it, the middle-aged man's nose would sink into his brain the next second, but he finally endured it. Internal strife in the army is a taboo in the kingdom, and he cannot betray the trust of the eldest prince here.

"Until the situation is ascertained, please do not give the order to fire easily."

He forced himself to bow his head and salute.

Finir didn't reply to him, but just waved his hand to signal him to leave the captain's room.

After Ryan stormed away angrily, another small door in the room opened, and Sir Dulin walked out proudly, "I didn't expect that the most cowardly person in this investigation team was actually a grandmaster-level warrior. Fortunately, the brigadier general can tell the difference clearly. The seriousness of the matter is that at this point, Brilliant Castle has fallen into the hands of criminals."

"Are they really executing nobles?" Finir turned to look at him.

"I saw it with my own eyes." Dulin pointed to the sky with his right hand, indicating that this was not a boo. "Mr. Lane almost didn't mention this because he had other hidden reasons. As far as I know, one of his old lovers is also in the city. That woman had been in the military academy before and was considered his junior, but now she has become a member of the Paradise Cult, so Mr. Lane does not want us to have a conflict with the sect."

"A man with a name and a title should not die at the hands of a sect he has never heard of." Fenier walked to the porthole and looked at the twin six-inch guns at the bow of the ship that were already adjusting the firing angle and said, " The status given to them by the kingdom was earned through their merits and blood, and even if they want to be deprived of it, only the royal family can make a decision."

"I feel the same way." Du Lin gracefully caressed his chest in greeting.

"Then the conditions you offered before..."

"Of course it all counts. If your fleet can drive away the Paradise Cult, my date of taking office will be much earlier. In that way, you can get one-fifth of the ore profits as soon as possible." Jazz affirmed.

…

"These damn guys are simply doing a disservice!" Ryan returned to the deck with an annoyed look on his face and complained to Katerina, who was facing the sea, "You can also say a few words for me! Don't you just Aren't you worried that the fleet will fight with the Paradise Cult?"

The latter lifted up his blown hair and replied nonchalantly, "I'm here to investigate the situation of the cult. Your conflict has nothing to do with me."

Ryan was speechless for a moment.

He found that as a team leader, he really had no sense of presence.

But thinking back carefully, it seems that the person making decisions along the way has always been Mr. Detective, and he just made the final statement.

Ryan scratched his hair and racked his brains and said, "But the Paradise Cult is a force that confronts the cultists head-on. They should have the most information about the cult. If the other party treats us as an enemy, wouldn't you be missing one of the most important people?" Main source of intelligence?”

This time, Katerina didn't reject him.

She turned her head and glanced at Ryan, with a little surprise in her eyes, "So you are still thinking."

"What do you mean? I've been thinking of a way!" Ryan frowned.

"No, it's nothing. You are right, but the priests of the Divine Machine Cult are not suitable to interfere with the decisions made by the commander of the kingdom's fleet - even if the fleet only has five ships." Katerina said regretfully, "But you can With my moral support, in principle, I don’t want a conflict to break out between the two sides.”

Mental support is of no use!

When Ryan was about to give a few more words of advice, a strange buzzing suddenly came from the sky.

No seabird can make such a sound. It sounds more like some kind of mechanical creation that operates regularly.

He raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound - he saw a looming black figure appearing in the gray clouds. It seemed to be flying towards the fleet, and it was quite fast.

"What's wrong?" Katerina noticed his distraction.

"Look in the sky, something is coming." Ryan whispered.

The priestess looked at it for a while before noticing what the other party said. In these ten seconds, the black shadow became much larger, and its outline could be vaguely distinguished.

At this time, the buzzing sound had exceeded the waves under their feet, and the two of them could still hear a sharp whistling sound mixed with it.

That is the roar produced by the high-speed friction between objects and air.

Not only Ryan and Katerina, but also the busy sailors on the deck noticed this unusual scene. They all put down their work and looked up at the sky.

About ten seconds later, the black shadow had fallen from the height of the clouds to a height of four to five hundred meters above the sea, and at the same time, it was getting closer and closer to the fleet. Ryan could already see its entirety - there was no doubt that it was a man-made machine. It had symmetrical wings and a towering tail. The metal shell on the surface was painted green, and the rhythmic roar came from it. It comes from the head.

"What is that! A seagull?" The sailor's perception was far inferior to that of Ryan, and they were still chattering about the true face of the black shadow.

"Have you ever seen such a big seagull? It is at least four to five meters long. Even the bald eagle cannot grow to this size!"

"It can't be a sea monster, right? I heard that not only can they swim fast, but they can also fly in the sky."

"No matter what it is, hold the musket for me! If it dares to get close to the Bibo, we will shoot it down!" the boatswain commanded.

"How could there be a sea monster here?" Katerina muttered, "Hasn't the route from the Old World to Glory Castle been running for decades?"

Ryan's eyes grew bigger and bigger, and he could hardly believe what he saw——

"It's not a sea monster, it's a man-made machine, and there's a person sitting on it!"
