I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 403 The Navy's Overt Scheme

"I knew this new parent was so reckless, not even considering the retaliation from the other families. Turns out he had inside information!"

"Who can argue with that? Who would have thought that a naval admiral would land at this time? Now, our rule over Abilath is firmly established. Even if those other families are unwilling, they won't dare to cause any more trouble, right?"

"Ha, making a fuss? My informant just reported that the Hati family revoked their revenge order three minutes ago, and now the Unity Priests are dispelling the seals everywhere!"

"Originally, there was only a three-day buffer period, but now as long as this admiral doesn't leave, no one dares to make a move! Sure enough, the people back home are well-informed; in this wretched place, we didn't even know a naval admiral was approaching..."

"Who can argue with that? But this isn't without its downsides. After all, with this whole mess, the mythical beasts that were originally ours probably won't be distributed."

"What are you saying? The boss hasn't withdrawn the order yet, has he?"

"Right, it looks like we need to get these ranches and fish farms sorted out as soon as possible. If we can get them sorted out before the boss finishes negotiating, we might be able to catch up with the timing!"

"Yes, yes, go quickly!"

……

While the middle-aged men of the Red family on Abilate Island were chatting and moving around, Feng Xue was standing solemnly on the dock, welcoming the admiral, who was dressed in a naval uniform and had a serious expression.

"General, I am Shoop Reid, the current supreme leader of Abilat Island, from the Reid family. How may I help you?"

Looking at the young man in front of him, the admiral narrowed his eyes, a sense of disgust rising in his heart. However, this did not attract his attention. As a devout believer of the sea god, he naturally rejected all believers of other gods. However, even the Church of the Sea God would not actually practice monotheism. After a brief discomfort, he ignored it and focused on releasing his senses.

He caught the intense aura of death and the seemingly never-ending stench of blood. The admiral was quite satisfied; the island was indeed soaked in blood, just as he needed, making it an excellent place for sacrifice.

Having made up his mind, he finally spoke:

"I am Admiral Sprey Thane. I am here to store a group of prisoners. Could you provide us with a place to hold them?"

"Storage?" Feng Xue pondered the word, but spoke without hesitation:

"That's no problem, of course. But could you please tell me exactly how many prisoners need to be held? What is the prisoners' combat ability? What level of containment measures are required?"

"Conservative estimates suggest there are over three thousand people. So far, 15 excellent-level individuals have been captured, with only two at the upper level. The majority of the others are standard-level, all of whom are Earth Fragment ability users. We plan to carry out a mass execution after capturing a certain number."

Spree's tone was full of certainty. Although he didn't make any demands or use any coercive words, it was as if he had never thought he would be rejected.

As the strongest human force on this vast ocean, Spree had the confidence to do so, and Feng Xue had no intention of refusing. He could clearly sense the hundreds of pieces of earth on the ship, and had already roughly understood the other party's intentions when he received the news of the landing.

"It is my honor to be able to help you, but we just carried out a revenge operation yesterday, and there is still some chaos on the island. We will do our best to ensure that no one can affect you, but please do not add to our burden."

Feng Xue's tone was as tactful as possible, yet it carried the barbed edge typical of those in power. While Spree disliked Feng Xue's manner of speaking, he found it perfectly reasonable, and he nodded, saying:

"You can release the news of our login, but you should know your limits."

Spree's words were a bit too blunt, and Feng Xue had to suppress her anger before nodding and saying, "If that's the case, then I wish us a pleasant cooperation. My men have already prepared a base. You've all had a long journey, so please rest for a bit."

……

"George, this is terrible!"

Shortly after Admiral Sprey landed on the island, George, who was resting on a small island, suddenly heard his friend Zahu's voice.

He looked at the coconut in his hand, then sighed helplessly at his energetic partner, before lowering his head to take a sip of coconut juice.

"Hey! At least give me some kind of response!"

Seeing that George was being so disrespectful, Jack started yelling. George put down the coconut and said helplessly:

"You do it seven or eight times a day, what kind of reaction can I have? Tell me, did you see a piece of porcelain that could sell for eight million, or a stunning beauty that you could spend the night with for five hundred? Or did you hear some news about the reappearance of some pre-civilization ruins?"

"What are you talking about! This is really big news!" Jack blushed at his friend's comment. He was a country bumpkin, so everything was new and exciting to him. But this time was different. He pulled out his upgraded terminal from his last adventure, brought up the Seekers' Forum interface, and pointed to one of the lines:

"The admiral plans to capture three thousand Earth Fragment users for a blood sacrifice, and the sacrifice site has been chosen to be Abilat Island! He also said that he will use this blood sacrifice power to create a curse to attack that Mr. Shenxiao!"

"What nonsense!" George was initially not paying much attention, but he quickly realized what he had heard, immediately perked up, grabbed Jack's wrist, and looked at the terminal.

"This news is suspicious. The numbers are too detailed. It's likely that the navy released it intentionally; it's a decoy!"

It must be said that although George's common sense about adventure is terrible, he is still quite shrewd when it comes to scheming and intrigue. He only glanced at the post and found a few oddities.

Upon hearing this, Jack scratched his head. He didn't doubt his friend's judgment, but rather looked a little bewildered and said:
"You mean, this news is fake?"

"Most of it is probably true." George pondered for a moment and then offered a guess. "It's likely true that the Navy plans to execute those with Earth Fragment abilities. If we had run slower earlier, we'd probably be one of those awaiting execution. Besides, because of the destruction of the world, the Sea God possesses some authority over death, so using heretical blood sacrifices to curse specific targets should be possible. The location is probably also true; the Navy wouldn't need to tell such a flimsy lie..."

"Then why would they reveal their purpose?" Jack was confused by George's question. George, after a moment's thought, replied in a guessing tone:

"This should be a trap. If they can curse Shenxiao, can the Earth Fragment ability users of the same origin also curse it? Now that a follower of the Earth God has finally appeared, will the Seekers of the Land group let this hope disappear again?"

At this point, George's expression turned serious:

"The holiday is over! We must set off immediately!"

"Setting off? Heading to Abilate Island?" Jack's face immediately lit up with excitement, but George couldn't help but slap him on the back of the head—

"Go to hell! With our skills, we can't even get past the school level! Set off immediately and leave the Blue Lagoon Islands!"
