Time Travel: Age of Discovery

Chapter 152: Out of Reach

Perospero's words were speechless. He glanced at Thea, who was calm and composed, and couldn't help but click his tongue in anger.

Perospero naturally knew that under normal circumstances, Katakuri would never give up easily, let alone the current situation was extremely unfavorable to them.

He knew very well that Katakuri's strength was greatly reduced on rainy days. Seeing something that was within his reach right in front of him yet out of reach was an extremely frustrating situation.

At this moment, the person he hated the most was the sudden appearance of Teya. If he had not intervened, he would have taken the things and left long ago, and the situation would not have been so difficult.

"Wait and see, this matter is not over yet!" Perospero shouted angrily and ordered to evacuate.

"It's not easy to leave." Sakaski had no intention of letting him go, but the cracker warriors had blocked his way and it was difficult to escape for a while.

Although Toya had recovered his fighting strength, he had no intention of stopping Katakuri and his companions. After all, their mission was simply to protect this heaven-fallen fortune. Therefore, there was no need to cause further casualties.

Now the enemies have returned empty-handed, but they know that the BIGMOM pirate group was behind this, and they expect the bounty on those people will rise again afterwards. However, all this is not a crucial matter for Teya.

At this moment, Teya only wanted to know what this rain of fortune that was regarded as a treasure by the BIGMOM pirate group and whose true identity even Sakaski did not know was.

"Let them go!" Teya shouted to the navy who wanted to pursue, and then came to Sakaski's side.

"The mission has been accomplished. It has also been confirmed that this was done by the BIGMOM pirate group. This account will be settled sooner or later." He knew that the words from Teya's mouth could not shake Sakaski's determination. After all, the two had different ideas on the navy's position.

Sakaski was quite dissatisfied with Teya's behavior, but he also knew that it was not easy to keep the other party. In addition, seeing that Teya was also injured, he could only snort coldly and ordered everyone to clean up the battlefield quickly.

Thea walked towards the ship carrying the windfall, and first expressed his gratitude to the navy who stayed there, thanking them for completing their mission, especially Smoker, who fought to exhaustion, which made Thea look at him differently.

A military doctor rushed over and wanted to bandage Thea's wound, but Thea asked him to treat other wounded people first. His wound was no longer bleeding and only needed a few bandages.

Stepping into the hold, Teya saw a large amount of cargo piled below, all packed in boxes, even roped for reinforcement and covered in waterproof cloth. However, having experienced so much battle, Teya noticed that the cargo bore traces of wiping, both visible and invisible. A closer sniff revealed a faint scent of blood.

The smell did not come from the recent battle, but was a faint fishy smell left over from before, which meant that the goods had been stained with blood, but the reason was still unclear.

Teya became more and more curious, so he lifted the curtain on a box, opened the lid, and was immediately dumbfounded.

Originally, he thought the windfall was merely priceless gold treasures, but now it seemed that Teya's idea was too naive. The box was filled with objects resembling cannonballs, and even a few strangely shaped weapons.

"What is this?" Teya frowned, then walked out of the cabin, looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on several sailors in civilian clothes sitting on the deck.

Teya quickly stepped forward and asked them, "Where did this ship come from? Where did the cargo come from?"

Seeing Thea's serious expression, everyone around was stunned. Although the sailors were afraid, they still looked embarrassed and claimed that they were only responsible for transportation and knew nothing about other details.

Teya used his observation ability to notice that the strong man in front of him was in an abnormal mood, so he grabbed his collar.

"Hey, General, what do you mean?" the strong man asked in horror.

"I tell you, don't try to deceive me, tell me the truth immediately." Teya said sternly.

The burly man was obviously frightened and quickly confessed everything: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, this batch of goods was shipped from Frefans. I only know that amber and lead are produced there, but I don't know anything else."

Frefans? Perkin?

Teya searched for relevant information in his mind and was suddenly shocked.

Could this be the scandal surrounding the "Perkin-Lead Disease"? The country that perished because of it?

If these goods really came from Frefans, then the bloody smell on them was probably from spoils of war, thus tainting them with the scent of blood.

Could it be that that country has already fallen into the chaos of war? If I recall correctly, Flevans... should be Luo's hometown.

This matter cannot be delayed any longer, we must go to Frevans immediately!

"Everyone, listen up! Set off for Frevans immediately!"

However, just as Thea gave the order, Sakaski quietly walked behind Thea and pressed Thea's shoulders.

"Tiya, what do you mean?" In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on the two vice admirals, and the atmosphere became quite tense.
