Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 35
Cycad Island.

This is an island made of iron.Even the most ordinary soil is red like rust.

A meandering river flows out of the mountains of Cycad Island and flows eastward into the sea.This is a freshwater river, which is an important freshwater resource of Cycad Island. The rust smell in the river is also one of the sensory symbols of Cycad Island.

On Cycad Island, vehicles carrying iron ore continuously come out of the mine and drive directly to the nearest iron smelting plant - where the iron ore will be melted into molten iron by a blast furnace and eventually turned into steel.

Dante stood on the watchtower of Cycad Island, looking towards the sea. Everywhere his eyes touched was the sparkling sea.

He is one of the three sea soul masters assigned by Milton to guard Cycad Island. It is now the season of mirages, and the watchtower needs to be on duty every day. Once a mirage is discovered, the entire island will be on alert.

Thinking about the scene where Mirage seized Cycad Island a few years ago, Dante couldn't help shivering.At that time, the sky was dim, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. Mirages appeared from the horizon until they covered the entire Cycad Island, and the mirages on the horizon never ended.

At that time, all he could see was the remains of the mirage, and the barrel of Haimanxing's gun was already burning red, and every shelling risked exploding the barrel.

As the only sea soul master stationed on the island who has experience in facing the mirage wave, Dante is very aware of the omen of the mirage riot.In the final analysis, the mirage riot is the arrival of the reproductive period of the mirage mother body. Countless mirages are born from the mother body, and the land in the mirage stronghold cannot meet their needs.

In order to survive, the newly born mirages will head towards the federal territorial waters, just like migrating red crabs.

Before the reproductive period of the mirage mother body, there will definitely be a process of mirage plundering resources.

Now, the news about Wengzhu Island makes him very uneasy. This means that Mirage has begun to run out of fuel. If Sutie Island is attacked again at this time, it is basically certain that the next wave of westerly drifting Mirage Riots will begin...

At that time, I am afraid that I will have to go to Lie Hell again.

Dante thought, looking at the empty sea with a solemn face.

A few leisurely seabirds were gliding in the air, and the gentle sunshine spread over the sea.

Everything looked very peaceful.

In the distance, the turning sound of the ironworks boiler echoed on Cycad Island, giving people an illusion of peace.

Hai Manxing yawned and walked up to the watchtower. She was wearing pajamas and looked slovenly.

The whole person looked sloppy, and there was no trace of Hai Hun's posture at all.

Floating around her were her armed Flying Rangers.They don't have the ability to bomb attack like Haimanxing, and can only serve as the eyes of Haimanxing to expand into the distance.

"Today is still so boring." Hai Manxing lay on the window edge, the sunlight from the sea shining on her white face.The messy long hair and the crookedly buttoned collar give people an absurd sense of beauty.

Dante loves the stars in the sea.

It’s not just the deacon’s love for Hai Hun.

He liked to watch this casual girl bathing in the morning light and enjoying the peaceful days.

There were sounds of frolicking downstairs.

Dante looked down and saw Hema and his sea soul Haiqiaoxing who had come to change shifts.

"Hi! Brother Dante." Homa climbed up the stairs, and four people suddenly squeezed into the small compartment, which seemed a bit crowded. "Do you know what news I received today? That is the biggest news I have received this year. Funny joke." "Joke?" Dante looked confused.

"Yes, yes, someone sent it to me with sea fog." Before Hema could finish speaking, he was leaning on the wall and laughing. "You should also listen to this joke. This joke also made Prussia happy." Very amused!"

"Oh? Then you should talk about it." Dante was actually not interested. He sat on the chair and looked at the scenery outside the window. When Hema finished speaking, he was about to go back to rest. He didn't sleep a wink all night. His eyelids started to fight.

"The deacon from Gloria Island sent it here. Do you know that Mark Irma from Gloria Island?" Hema finally came to his senses. "It's the one who knocked down Boss Stendahl on Blue Flower Dan Island. The butler of the strange sea soul who was knocked unconscious by the star."

"Oh. That's that one." Dante thought of the information he heard about fireflies. It felt very magical. There are actually sea souls in the world that can break through the armor of the Retired Star with their bodies. However, compared to fireflies, On the contrary, he didn’t know much about Mark Irma, “What did he say?”

"Ahem, I'll read it to you." He Ma turned on the sea fog system in a serious manner, opened the message, and said solemnly, "Our Jialan Island recently discovered a large number of mirages in the northeast sea area of ​​Jialan Island. There are signs of activity, and it is speculated that the mirage force is moving in the direction of Cycad Island, and we hereby issue a warning to the compatriots on Cycad Island."

"Lots of mirages!" Dante jumped up from his chair.

"Don't be so panicked, brother Dante." Hema helped Dante back to the chair and explained, "I have verified before coming here that there is no trace of mirage at all during the voyage where Haiqiaoxing has sufficient fuel. . That’s why I said this was a joke! This young man who just graduated must have mistook some random things for mirage marks, maybe a pod of dolphins or something. It’s really a false report and a waste of our workload.”

"There are no mirages in the entire voyage of Haiqiao Star. I'm very curious about how he found the traces." Hema sat next to Dante and said with a gossipy face. "Do you think he is taking revenge on the governor for not giving him Cycad Island?"

"Don't think about things all day long. If you have some time, you might as well cultivate a relationship with your Hai Qiao Xing."

"It's useless to train him. Unless the one with the sunflower collar disappears suddenly, my Hai Qiaoxing will be able to become the God of the Sea." He Ma joked.

Dante shook his head, packed up his things, and prepared to go back.

"Keep an eye on it lately," he warned before leaving. "Don't let the mirages fire by then and you haven't discovered where the enemy is!"

"I know." He Ma said impatiently, "You have been warning me for almost two weeks, and you haven't even seen Mirage's hair. On the contrary, Wengzhu Island was fighting vigorously, and I don't know how much the deacons divided. Military merit.”

"Don't treat the mirage thing like child's play."

Dante went downstairs, and he remembered the massacre a few years ago.

Mirages all over the mountains and plains almost destroyed the entire cycad island. They were like hungry locusts, eating up all the iron products along the way.

Steel, furnaces, ores, even the steel bars in buildings, they all cracked open and chewed them clean.

If Milton hadn't led all the sea souls of the Tulip Territory to counterattack on Cycad Island, this rich iron ore island would have long been turned into a deserted island.

"No?" Dante asked with concern when he saw Haimanxing taking back the rangers.

Hai Qiaoxing shook his head and said that there was no trace of mirage within the Flying Rangers' detection range.

Could it be that Jialan Island really saw it wrong?
A shadow cast over Dante's heart.
