The third day of escape.

Land has finally arrived.

Before that, there was an episode, that is, on the night of the second day, eight of the ten remaining ships suddenly disappeared.

Regarding this matter, Proto's explanation was that Jason, the commander of the new army, received secret instructions from Plank before they came out, and they needed to complete a special mission.

Although there are only two thousand remaining soldiers, they still have to go.

So Proto gave them part of the baggage and let them leave the fleet first.

Regarding this statement, Chen Senran just smiled and said nothing more, because he was just asking casually.

So when they docked, only two large four-masted sailing ships arrived at the final destination with very few supplies. Compared with the more than thirty ships when Proto left, the situation was quite miserable.

Fortunately, the ships Proto brought back this time were all non-main battle ships, and the main force of his pirate army was still preserved. Even if it was a little strained, it was only a little bit.

After getting off the boat, soldiers waiting on the shore immediately came to see him. They said that General Balzac knew that Mr. Jack would arrive in the next two days and had been waiting for a long time. He hoped that Mr. Jack could meet him as soon as possible.

Ready to receive the latest instructions from Bilgewater.

Chen Senran didn't say anything to Balzac's hurry. It was probably because he had heard some rumors about Bilgewater and was a little worried for Chen Senran.

After casually agreeing to the soldier, Chen Senran took two steps, suddenly stopped and whispered to Proto behind him: "I didn't like you very much before, but now, I have changed my mind. I'm welcome at any time."

Come and help me. Of course, you have to think about it yourself. Anyway, what I said is true."

After saying this, Chen Senran took the little murlocs Fitz and Graves and left without looking back.

Proto watched Chen Senran's leaving figure intently. After a long time, he sighed.

He suddenly felt that he shouldn't let Jason go.

——————————

The place where Balzac and Chen Senran met was a bit far away. Probably because of the recent tense war, he couldn't walk far away.

Chen Senran rode for a full day before arriving at that place.

The smell of gunpowder smoke and blood can already be smelled all around.

It's probably a temporary camp for logistics and medical treatment.

Chen Senran was welcomed into a large tent and sat down.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I heard rapid footsteps coming from outside the tent.

It was obvious that the people outside were in a hurry. Before they could stand still, they ordered in a cold tone: "From now on, the thirty yards outside the big tent are all military controlled areas. Without my permission, anyone who breaks in will be shot to death."

Chen Senran smiled and listened to this solemn order and stood up from his seat.

"Sorry, I'm late." The next moment, a slightly tired voice came from outside the tent.

Balzac stepped on a pair of sharp military boots and braved the wind and frost as he quickly walked into the tent.

Three years of military career have transformed this formerly calm free warrior into a qualified military commander. Now he has a thick beard, eyes with hidden murderous intent, and every move he makes is full of iron blood.

He looked at the blind man who had lifted him to this seat with one hand. He showed a rare smile and walked over. In a respectful tone, he performed a chest-beating military salute and said: "Long time no see, Lord Jack."

"Long time no see, Balzac." Chen Senran smiled and nodded, "You are very good, very good."

Of course he is very good. Very good.

He hasn't returned to Bilgewater for three years, and almost every day he fights on the front lines with no clothes on.

In exchange, he had all the Bilgewater troops in Ionia firmly in his hands. No matter how many reinforcements Gangplank sent, they were all swallowed up by him in the end.

Therefore, the current Legion of Guns and Roses has grown countless times in size compared to when it came to Ionia, from the initial 5,000 to the current 30,000.

Balzac also smoothly secured his position as commander-in-chief of the Ionia Expeditionary Force.

This was not Chen Senran's original intention. Most of it should be his personal ambition, but he had to do a very good job. His approach made Planck dare not touch Chen Senran at all.

Because as long as his 30,000-strong army is restrained outside, Planck has to consider this hidden dangerous element.

"It's all because of your cultivation that I, Balzac, am today." Balzac's tone was still very respectful. He lowered his head and invited Chen Senran to the position of coach, while he sat at the bottom.

From this point of view, he is a person who never forgets his roots.

"Sir, I heard..." Balzac sat down, but did not say anything immediately. Instead, he glanced cautiously at the little fishmen Fitz and Graves who had been sitting silently.

"It's okay, we are all our own people, you can say whatever you want." Chen Senran shook his head, knowing what he was worried about.

"I heard that you were coming this time, and I thought..." Balzac was born in the Free Territory, and he had been careful in his life for decades, so even if he has reached this high position now, he is still

Don't speak too plainly.

"He wants to touch me." Chen Senran didn't hesitate and nodded straightforwardly.

There is no need to point out who he is, everyone present knows who he is.

"Then we, shall we..." Balzac left blank again.

Chen Senran didn't mind his attitude. He just smiled and shook his head and said: "No, there is no benefit in breaking up with him now. After all, we are still outside. Once we break up, we will be like water without roots. We have to win this time."

In wars, he has to win beautifully and go back in glory. Doesn't he just like to use the momentum to overwhelm others? This time, we want him to see what the momentum is."

Chen Senran said these words calmly, but the meaning contained in them made Balzac silent.

"Sir, I want to know, what do you want in the end?" After being silent for a while, he suddenly raised his head and tried to look into Chen Senran's eyes.

But when he raised his head, he realized that Chen Senran was blind.

So the blind man used a tone that seemed to penetrate his whole person, looked at him with his eyes covered with cloth, and said word by word: "What do you think?"

What do you say?

"Subordinate..." Balzac took a deep breath and lowered his head again, "I understand." (To be continued...)
