The Knight's Journey to the Empire

[First Transport Fleet].

At this time, the deafening gongs and drums warning sound of the fleet had stopped!

But on the fleet's pilot ship, Magellan was still commanding the fleet, trying desperately to escape from the dangerous sea area as soon as possible.

Because the first impression that the sea monster [Nidhoggr] left on him was so shocking and profound!

So although he was not afraid of the ocean from then on, he did not want to face such a horrible situation again.

"Captain, are we really going to leave the butler in that sea area and ignore him?" First Mate Magriff, who was standing nearby, suddenly asked with a serious expression.

At this time, they had already fled from the sea area where the incident occurred for quite a distance.

Turning around and looking at the sea behind, there was nothing to see except the vast expanse of sea.

"This..." Magellan's face froze.

Obviously he didn't know how to answer this question.

But then he comforted himself and said, "Don't worry, First Mate! With the great strength of the butler, he will be fine!"

"And if we stay there, it seems that we can't provide him with any decent help. We may even become a burden and drag him down!"

"But there is no place to stay near that sea area. Even if the butler defeats the sea monster or wants to escape, there is nowhere to go!"

"Besides, the sea is vast. The butler doesn't have a compass to indicate the direction, so it's easy to get lost!" First Mate Magriff said worriedly.

They are all retainers who have been loyal to the Earl of Katis's family for generations, so they naturally know the importance of Butler Mark to the Earl of Katis's family.

"This..." Magellan looked at the compass in his hand and was speechless again.

He then continued to ask: "So what do you think we should do? We can't lead the fleet back!"

It's impossible to turn back.

Having finally escaped from that damn place, Magellan would never go back.

And if they turned back and encountered that sea monster, it would be really useless.

It even became a burden, affecting the battle rhythm of Butler Mark.

After all, wasn't the original purpose of Butler Mark coming to hunt the sea monster [Nidhoggr] to protect the transport fleet?

First Mate Magree thought about it thoughtfully.

Then it looked determined and said solemnly: "Captain, please give me a ship and I will take people back to have a look! If necessary, I can also bring back some stewards!"

"Brother, are you sure?" Magellan asked in disbelief.

First Mate Magrev still looked serious: "Captain, don't worry!"

"I will only watch from a distance and won't get close! If anything goes wrong, I will run away immediately without stopping!"

"Besides, a ship is a relatively small target. If there are any problems, the butler should be able to take care of it!"

"Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you! This trip may be a life-threatening one!" Magellan said with a serious expression.

Having witnessed the horror of the sea monster Nidhogg, Magellan was well aware of the danger of this trip, so he was unwilling to let First Mate Maggrif take the risk.

After all, this separation may be a farewell forever!

"I know, Captain! But my family has been loyal to the Earl for generations, and the Earl has never blamed me and my family!"

"Butler Mark is now so important to the Earl that he is irreplaceable!"

"So I have to go and take a look, because Butler Mark cannot afford to make any mistakes!" First Mate Maggrave answered very seriously.

"Okay! Brother, since you want to go, I won't stop you!" Magellan finally chose to compromise: "The Cap No. 10 ship is now in your hands!"

"Thank you, Captain!" First Mate Maggrave replied with a smile.

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

But suddenly, Magellan called him from behind: "Wait!"

First Mate Maggrave stopped and asked in confusion: "Captain, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Take this with you!" Magellan threw what he was holding over.

First Mate Maghreb took it and took a closer look. It turned out to be the compass that Magellan had always treasured.

On ordinary days, others rarely even touch it, but I didn’t expect that Magellan would hand it directly to me today.

But before Magaluf could say anything, Magellan continued, "This is loaned to you! You must return it when you come back!"

Upon seeing this, First Mate Maggrave stopped being pretentious and accepted it directly.

Seeing this, Magellan continued to pretend to be relaxed and said: "Brother, you must come back alive!"

"Then I will personally ask for your merit from Lord Earl and Baron Soran! I will make an island for you as a hereditary territory!"

"Thank you very much, Captain!" First Mate Maggrave thanked him with a smile, then turned and left.

Magellan watched him leave without saying anything else.

But what Magellan didn't know was that after First Mate Maggrave turned around, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Because he knew that this time he made the right bet!

……

What generations of loyalty to the Count of Curtis's family!

What? Butler Mark’s position is irreplaceable!

These reasons may account for some of the reasons, but they are definitely not the main reasons.

Because Magellan's last words were the real reason why First Officer Maggrave chose to take the risk and go back this time.

First Officer Maggrave was Magellan's confidant and one of his trusted people.

So regarding the decision made by Countess Katis at the emergency meeting:

That is, after moving to the [Anglican Islands] and settling there, they would confer titles on those heroes who had outstanding performance in the implementation of the plan, and would also confer titles on the heroes the islands suitable for human survival as the family's hereditary territory.

Magellan told him without hesitation.

Because at that time Magellan felt that under the command of Countess Curtis, First Officer Magriff had the best chance to become the leader of the [Third Transport Fleet].

And if First Officer Magreev can successfully take up the position, then the transport fleet will play a great role in this [Anglican Islands Immigration Plan].

There is a great possibility that First Mate Maggrif will be canonized as a hereditary noble and obtain an island as a hereditary fiefdom.

However, who could have imagined that Gregeric would show up unexpectedly and seize the position of leader of the [Third Transport Fleet].

So this is the real reason why First Mate Maggrave hates Gregeric so much.

After all, "blocking someone's future is like killing his parents"!

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing they can do.

Moreover, Soran had also held a related test for Gregeric and First Mate Maggrif, and the final result was that First Mate Maggrif lost.

First Mate Maghref was not as skilled as his peers and missed the opportunity to become the leader of the Third Transport Fleet.

So he had no choice but to return to Magellan's [First Transport Fleet] and serve as the first mate.

But it doesn't need much explanation to know that the merits he made as the first mate of the [First Transport Fleet] were definitely not enough to support First Mate Maghref to become a hereditary noble and obtain a hereditary fiefdom.

So he had to find another way!

And this time, volunteering to pick up Butler Mark is a rare opportunity.

Although this matter is very risky and even life-threatening.

But the greater the risk, the higher the rate of return!

So First Mate Maggrave gritted his teeth and went ahead!

At the same time, this also made him hate Gregor even more!

Oh, and Canard and Aldridge!

After all, if it weren't for the two of them recommending the action, there would be no interception by Gregeric.

Then I don’t have to risk my life to gamble now.
