Chapter 184: rescue two

Xie La didn't care to hide it anymore, and said anxiously: "Yes, my daughter...the scholar Dirac is my daughter Lady Setia Gerald!"

Quick jumped up all of a sudden: "Female advisor?"

Then he patted his forehead hard.

"I'm such a stupid pig! Green hair, so handsome, and that familiar figure, isn't it consultant Xiaojie?"

But now it's too late to blame myself for being stupid, since the other party's mother came to ask for help, why should I not help? Escorting their family back to the Northwest Bay safely is my task.

"Lady Setia? Where is Ling Ai now?"

"It should be in the forest north of Nissberg. It is assumed that this parrot will take us there."

"Parrot?"

Only then did Quick realize that a parrot landed on Mrs. Setia's shoulder inappropriately.

"Yes, this parrot and my daughter understand each other. It can sense that Ladi is in danger."

Although there were many doubts in his heart, Quick did not doubt the other party. Ladi Xiaojie was deeply trusted by Earl Greyman, and she admitted that there was nothing wrong with her mother.

Moreover, the place of distress is the forest, so it should not be an entanglement with the Jiaowan Alliance zhèngfǔ, there is a high probability that they encountered some bandits or wild beasts.

But if he really got into trouble with the alliance government, then he can only turn to the Foster family for help.

He immediately sent sailors to the cabin to wake everyone up, and then called the first mate, the second mate, and Ladi's mother to the captain's cabin.

Quick briefly explained the situation and immediately made arrangements:

He and the second officer led thirty people to follow Mrs. Setia to the forest north of the city to look for Ladi Xiaojie, and the second officer led the remaining ten people to guard the Nanfang.

Everyone had no objection and immediately started to act.

The sailor on duty who was in charge of waking everyone up had already informed his companions of the cause of the incident. Everyone knew that Mr. Dirac, who had been on the same boat with him for so long, was the charming female advisor next to the lord. Feel incredible.

And this beautiful female consultant is now in danger, and the crowd is excited for a while, clamoring for a hero to save the beauty.

Quick did not mobilize beforehand, and immediately ordered thirty people, ordering them to take up their weapons and line up on the shore.

The curious little kid candidates eagerly wanted to sign up, and they also wanted to go outside the city to see, and to carry out rescue missions in the middle of the night, just thinking about it.

Then they were locked in the captain's cabin.

There was a commotion in the cabin, and everyone took out their own equipment one after another. For the safety of this trip southward, the Navy has made painstaking preparations. In addition to cannons and guns, the Nanfang is also equipped with 40 muskets with socket bayonets and 10 "big spray guns" that can fire shotguns. "—Large-caliber short-barreled musket.

Xie La was surprised to see the sailors carrying "long guns and short cannons" and ran to the shore to line up.

Captain Quick ordered them to prepare their weapons, but they all produced some strange things.

She saw someone put a spike-like thing on one end of that strange "wooden stick"—in fact, she didn't know how to describe that kind of thing. There seemed to be an iron pipe embedded in the stick. It looked like a spear, but much shorter than a real spear.

But this group of people is well-trained, and they formed a neat team on the pier in just a few minutes. It can be seen that Captain Quick must have worked hard to train them on weekdays.

The discount made Xie La even more surprised, she had never seen any army that could do this.

Yes, the army, now she has confirmed in her heart that the team in front of her is definitely a real army, not just an expedition team.

Quick said to Sheila, "Madame Setia, I will trouble you... um... I will trouble your parrot to lead the way."

Sheila nodded.

"Please, Polly."

Polly the parrot perched on her shoulder immediately spread its wings and flew into the air, making noises to let people know its position, followed by Sheila.

"Everyone listen! Follow Mrs. Setia closely."

With the captain's order, the temporary rescue team ran quickly.

…

At the north gate of Nessberg, a few soldiers of the City Guards were warming up a small fire. Although the autumn and winter season in Jiaowan was not as cold as in the north, it was still a bit chilly after standing outside for a long time in the middle of the night.

The soldiers gathered together and listened to the captain chatting nonsense while smoking his pipe.

"You young people, you have never heard of many ancient legends about Nessberg."

"Boss, you are a local here, so you must know a lot?"

The captain raised his head, his face slightly smug.

"Of course, my family told me about it every day when I was young."

"Say a few words and listen!"

Seeing that the appetites of his subordinates were whetted, the captain opened up the chatterbox.

"It is said that before the Horn Bay League was established, Nessberg was just an ordinary small town by the sea."

"The people who live here are unlucky. They pray to the Lord of Light every day for their own safety. If it weren't for a special spice here, the people would have been zǒuguāng long ago~www.readwn.com~The residents are facing a kind of horror The threat of disaster."

Is it a horror story? The soldiers swallowed, "It's... what kind of disaster is it?"

With a mysterious expression on the captain's face, he said word by word:

"Wolf disaster!"

"Wolf disaster?"

The soldiers were very surprised. There were many wolves near Nisberg, but they rarely attacked pedestrians on the main road. As long as you don't forget to run deep into the forest, you will be fine.

The captain nodded to confirm: "That's right, wolf disaster!"

"Captain, the wolves here seem to be very docile."

"Hmph! That's now, it wasn't like this a hundred years ago!"

The captain continued to pretend to be mysterious.

"It is said that a long time ago, the wolves of Nysberg liked chīrén very much!"

"It's not what it is like now, only looking for those unlucky ones who got lost in the depths of the forest! Instead, they attacked the merchants in groups in broad daylight, and those wolves were very organized, just like a human army."

The soldiers shrank their necks.

"The largest pack of wolves now is only about a dozen or so, but at that time there were hundreds of wolves."

"On the night of the full moon, it is a time of **** for the people of Nisberg. At this time, the hungry wolves are no longer satisfied with robbing pedestrians on the road, but will take the initiative to attack the town. They rushed in and did not lock the door yard, poultry and livestock, and even human children.”

"The ancestors were miserable. It's not that they didn't think about organizing to wipe out the wolves, but they suffered heavy losses when they entered the depths of the forest. The legend—"

"What is the legend?"

"It is said that there is a wolf king leading them..."

At this moment, a wolf howl suddenly came from far and near, and the captain and soldiers could hear it clearly.

"Aww—"
