Chapter 446: Setting Sail (2/2)

Everyone was born with some sort of curiosity, and when they saw this ship, many gathered at the docks to see who the experts that could command this ship were.

When they saw that it was but a group of newly arrived recruits, many frowned, but the more influential experts were all acting respectful, as they recognized Lan at a glance.

When Lan had first arrived at the military base, many had looked down upon him, but after deciding upon the house he wanted, and beating up the current occupants of the house, no one dared to belittle him again.

The way he beat those experts was still clear in the mind of the higher-ranked soldiers, and most of them dared not say that they could survive the beating.

Xue Wei completely ignored the people who were observing them as he boarded the ship alongside his friends.

These ships were handy because they did not require sailors. All he needed was to add a few thousand high-grade essence stones, and the ship would be able to keep itself afloat and sailing for a long time.

As they boarded the ship, many were eager to ask for a lift. Although a lot of them had taken the task of working behind enemy lines, it was not so easy to get there, as good ships were quite rare in the Demon Phoenix Continent.

While the army did prepare some ships, they only sent two ships over a week, and these two ships were already full to the brim with experts.

Sometimes they even had to wait for the next boat to depart, as there was not enough space on the first, so many tried to hitch a ride when an expert with a ship appeared.

But although they wanted to ask for a lift, no one actually dared to step forward. The higher ranked soldiers were all too alert because of Lan, and the few remaining new soldiers all knew of Xue Wei and his actions of crippling the Fire Horse, so they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts when they saw him.

As a result, Xue Wei and his friends departed the military camp in their ship, setting sail towards the Xiyang Continent.

Their destination was only a few days of travel away, but even so, none of them relaxed. They had heard about the war on the sea, and knew that they had to be very lucky to avoid the enemy.

In a way, they did not want to avoid the enemy either. They could easily outrun any other ship on the sea, but because of their purpose here, they would not do so.
