Looking at each of them's hot eyes, Charles immediately guessed their purpose.

"In this case, you can discuss these with me?" Charles frowned slightly.

At this critical moment, do you still have time to discuss the ownership of the Living Island?

Feuerbach leaned over with a smile and said to Charles: "Everyone knows that this fleet is commanded by you, and the charts are also owned by you and Kede, so of course the governor of this island is the same, but everyone is born and die to help, so there should be a qualification for loyalty."

The captains behind nodded and agreed.

When they saw a simple straw shed that could withstand the deadly sunlight, they could no longer sit still. The island's richness could be seen unless it was a blind man.

Since people can live in and fresh water, it is a living island.

The strong man with a golden hook in his hand stepped forward. "When Tianshui Island was snatching fuel, everyone worked hard to find it. According to the old rules of seizing islands in the Earthly Sea, we are loyal to your power."

After saying that, he looked at Charles with some trepidation and added in a low voice, "Of course it's not impossible to be less."

Charles knew the so-called old rule that as long as the Governor captured the next live island, everyone on the assisted ship would have a percentage of the island.

This is not only the reward for occupying the island, but also the reward for protecting the island in the future. Only by connecting everyone with the chain of interests can these people do their best to assist the Governor in jointly managing the island.

This is how the preliminary leadership team of the island governor on the sea was established. Only by joining together in this way can it not be annexed by other governors.

Listening to the captains' words, the crew members next to them stopped their work, looking here with a nervous expression.

They couldn't help but be nervous. As long as Charles agreed, no matter what the Land of Light was like, they would become the island's people in the future.

Seeing them like this, Charles knew that if he didn't agree, they wouldn't have the heart to do anything else.

"Okay, isn't it just a declaration of allegiance? Yes, I'll sign it, and work quickly after signing it."

Everyone had ecstasy on their faces, and the captains took out their prepared declaration of allegiance from their arms.

"It seems that everyone is ready long ago?" Charles pulled out his pen cap.

Feuerbach first handed over a piece of red-skinned paper with gold thread in his hand.

"In fact, most of the captains of the exploration ships are in the captain's room and they will leave two long-written contracts, one for proof of submitting to the Explorer Association to become the governor, and the other for a declaration of allegiance to other governors."

Charles took it and found that it was all in some conventional formats. He took out a pen and wrote his full name on the position of the Governor, Charles Reed.

According to the regulations of the Earthly Sea, each of the remaining captains owns 3% of the island, and the twelve captains hold a total of 36% of the island sovereignty. The remaining 64% belongs to the island governor Charles.

This kind of thing is equivalent to an island's shares. If someone pays taxes on such islands, those who own the shares will never starve to death. They are the first groups of interests.

He quickly signed the twelve declarations of allegiance, and Charles covered his pen cap and said impatiently: "Okay, hurry up and work."

In his opinion, these things were completely unnecessary. They were almost on the surface, and they still talked about some of them.

Feuerbach shook his head, "Governor General, one step away."

The crew members in the straw shed seemed to have expected something. They put down their work and quickly formed a big circle with excitement on their faces to witness history.

Under everyone's gaze, all the captains knelt on one knee in front of Charles, holding the right shoulder with their left hand and holding the declaration of allegiance in their right hand with a serious and solemn expression.

"I swear to be loyal to the Governor forever, never betray, never deceive!"

"I swear to bravely fight against all enemies that threaten the island, defend the inherent territory, and not give up any inch of land!"

"I swear that I and my descendants will always be loyal to the Reed family until the island sinks!"

The declaration of allegiance was read out one by one by one by one by the twelve people, and their voices grew louder and louder.

When the last declaration was read, the twelve people bowed to Charles in unison. "Governor, please name the island."

With a slightly complicated expression, Charles looked at the sunlight outside the straw shed and said, "Hope Island."

As soon as the words were finished, the crew members around him suddenly cheered excitedly. Their identities had changed at this time. They were no longer desperate people fighting on the sea, but rather a group of noble people in the island.

Seeing his second pair of Knona, he was so happy that he jumped forward with his ears. Charles couldn't understand this emotion. Compared with the surface, there was nothing to be happy with having a broken island.

Feuerbach next to him leaned over with a smile. "Governor, although you said that the scenery is very attractive, it is a bit too tempting and too far away. Everyone cares more about what they can see in front of them and what they can touch with their hands."

"Is this your purpose the same?" Charles looked at Feuerbach next to him.

"Of course." Feuerbach's face showed a natural expression.

"I am also the captain of the exploration ship. My dream is to become a person in the island. How happy I smile."

Charles still didn't believe what the green-haired said, but it seems that he at least has no bad intentions.

"Stop talking nonsense, we can't leave without sending the photos."

Soon Charles discovered that the declaration ceremony just now was still useful, and the morale in the crowd increased significantly. Everyone had a better life for the future. Hope Island was like his name, bringing hope to everyone.

The enthusiastic crew moved quickly, and the fuel compartment of the 12 ships was quickly filled.

Standing in the cockpit, Charles frowned and looked at the chart hanging on the wall. Three hundred nautical miles were not too far in front of the fuel-filled steamboat.

But Hope Island is close to the edge of human exploration, and no one knows what else is left in this unexplored sea area.

In order to be foolproof, Charles decided to let all twelve ships escort Monchi.

Although he was really a little resistant to returning to the ocean again, there was nothing he could do about it.

Looking at the dozen searchlights on the sea around, Charles slowly spoke, "Drive, set off,"

The bandage next to him nodded and began to turn the steering wheel.
