“Well done.” Raphael nodded.
“Boss, if these people die at our hands, Caradia won’t let it go, right?” the elven soldier said worriedly.
The people who followed Raphael had joined the dark forces on the island.
After all, the garrison of the outpost was already at the end of its tether. The residences on the mountains were discovered by the nomads, and the resources were also taken away. The Elf Kingdom had not sent reinforcements for a long time. In order to survive, they could only grab the help of the dark forces.
There were also some soldiers who chose to leave on their own and survive in the wilderness. However, most of them had disappeared into the wilderness, and even their corpses could not be found.
“Of course, that’s why we can’t let them find out,” Raphael reprimanded. “We boarded this ship to make this explosion look like an accident.”
“Yes.” the elven soldiers answered with their heads lowered.
The steamer had already begun to whistle. Devitt followed the other Caradia soldiers, dragging their huge suitcases, and walked onto the deck.
Raphael walked forward and helped take the luggage from his hands.
Devitt smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Raphael shook his head and carefully reminded, “It’s okay. If you get seasick, it’s better to drink some seasickness medicine before you sail.”
“If it’s seasickness medicine, give it to Claremont. He’s the one who’s really afraid of water.” Devitt replied.
“I see. Then I’ll get someone to send some medicine over to him later.” Raphael also laughed.
“This ship is a little smaller than I thought.” Devitt looked around and said, “Is there no space left on the ship we were on previously?”
“Yes, I heard that the ship has been shut down.” Raphael was stunned for a moment before he replied, “It is indeed a little small, but the equipment is quite complete. After all, it is a new ship that has just been built.”
“Not bad.” after listening to Raphael’s introduction, Devitt nodded and said in approval, “Then I will go and unpack my luggage first. I will leave the things like gathering to you.”
“Alright.” Raphael agreed. He stood in front of the cabin door where Devitt lived and exchanged his luggage with Devitt.
“See you at dinner.” Devitt bowed slightly to Abel and said.
“Goodbye.” Raphael replied.
On his way back to the deck, Raphael met Claremont, who was looking for the house number.
“Raphael!” Claremont greeted him.
“Claremont.” Raphael walked forward and gave Claremont a slight hug.
“The scenery on this ship is really nice. It’s just that I’m not in the mood to experience it after the ship sails.” Claremont looked at the sea and sighed.
“I heard from Captain Devitt that you get seasick. I’ll have someone send the seasickness medicine to your room later.” Raphael said with concern.
“Why did Devitt expose all my weakness?” Claremont complained. Then, he smiled at Raphael and said, “Thank you. Then, I’ll have to trouble you.”
“Okay,” Raphael agreed. “Have a good rest.”
The Caradia soldiers had always been very disciplined. Even though Devitt and Claremont were not present, they still consciously gathered on the deck according to the formation and counted the number of people.
Thus, Raphael was only responsible for summarizing the number of people in the two teams and collecting the physical health data of everyone on the ship.
“Lunch is in the form of a buffet. You can go to the dining hall to pick it up at twelve o’clock in the afternoon.” Raphael instructed. “Everyone needs to pay attention to their health while on the ship. When someone among your companions falls ill, you need to report it to your captain in a timely manner.”
“Yes!” the soldiers standing on the deck replied in unison.
“Dismissed.”
“Boss, we’ve already arranged for our people to be stationed at various positions on the ship. This is to ensure that the operation at that time is absolutely flawless.” a soldier reported.
“Before we officially start the operation, we need to carry out a large-scale clean-up. If you can bribe them, then bribe them. If you can’t, then throw them off the ship.” Raphael instructed.
“Yes.” the soldier nodded.
During dinner, Raphael sat with Devitt and the others.
“I heard from the soldier who had lunch that the dishes made in the kitchen on this ship are quite good.” Claremont beamed. “After I heard these rumors, I looked forward to it.”
“I heard that the chef on this ship has been worked on the ship for more than ten years at sea. He can make superb dishes of many countries.” Raphael introduced.
“Really?” Devitt was slightly surprised. “He’s really amazing!”
“Mm.” Raphael nodded with a smile.
After a while, the dishes for dinner were served on the table. It was truly a dazzling feast. Even Claremont was dazzled.
“Everyone, start eating.” Raphael said.
Claremont immediately forked the steak on his plate and chopped up a large piece of meat.
“Is the journey back the same route as when we came?” Devitt asked curiously.
“No, I heard that the route we are taking now is a newly opened route. Compared to the usual route, it takes shorter time.” Raphael recalled for a while and replied.
“A new route?” Claremont raised his head and asked in surprise, “Then where will we dock?”
“The harbor in Cumberland.” Raphael replied.
“Cumberland?” Devitt’s eyes widened, and he said in surprise, “That’s really convenient for us.”
“Yes.” Raphael nodded. “Cumberland’s development is changing by the day, and the newly built harbor has also been valued.”
“Actually, neither of us have been to Cumberland before. We can take this opportunity to take the soldiers on a sightseeing trip.” said Devitt and Claremont as they looked at each other.
“So what if you haven’t been there before.” said Raphael. “When you arrive at Cumberland, I wonder how many people will come to the dock to welcome you. After all, your mission this time is almost perfect.”
“That may not be the case.” Devitt said humbly. “By the way, I wonder where the letters we sent have been sent to. Raphael, how long will it take for the letters sent from your outpost to reach the destination?”
“This… depends on the weather at sea.” Raphael paused and said, “It will be here in about ten days.”
“The messenger is really amazing. Just the journey at sea alone will take us ten days.” Claremont interrupted.
“This is their job. Naturally, the more efficient the better.” Raphael said with a smile. “We don’t have to rush back so quickly. Just treat this sea trip as a holiday after work.”
“Mm..” Devitt nodded in agreement.
