After thinking for a moment, Zero decided to suppress the doubt about Franklin's identity first. It's about his secret, even if you ask the giant, you don't know how to say it, so you should wait for it to learn more about it. When the subject changed, he said: "I heard Hindrella say that you have been to Istar. Then why are you here?"

Franklin rolled his eyes and said, "You want to go to Istar?"

"Yes, I want to make a deal with the rebels." Zero is vague.

"Then you don't need to go." The giant sighed slightly, and said: "Istar is over. I escaped from there."

"what?"

In the meeting room on the Destiny, Zero summoned Feng and the others as well as Cinderella to tell all about Istar that he had heard from Franklin. Franklin hadn't concealed this aspect, from the encounter between himself and the Knights of the Pope's Hall to the intervention of the Iron Scale, and then to Sauron secretly cooperating with Deborah to finally destroy Istar. However, he concealed the fact that Sauron took him away, simply saying that after he escaped from Istar, he was still chased and killed by the two Sauron and escaped to this sea area to be saved.

But this does not prevent Zero from mastering Istar's current information, and at the same time, he has a more intuitive understanding of Sauron's ability from the side. It can be seen from this incident that Sauron is not simple. Ironscale and Deborah are his pawns that he has arranged a long time ago, and he has not used it until now. And with a thunderous posture, completely destroyed the rebel headquarters.

Next, the Western Continent will usher in the most turbulent era. The papal hall, the pirates, and the rebel army are like three corners of the cornerstone. Now one corner has collapsed, and the papal hall is powerful. Without the restraint of the rebel army, maybe Sauron would soon take the pirates. Then, Roaring Bay will no longer be a refuge for pirates.

It's just that the news of Istar's destruction should have not spread, and few people foresee the undercurrents of the times. But when the undercurrent turned into a tsunami, it was too late to reverse the unchangeable destiny.

"No, what have to be done!" Hindrella stood up. As one of the four pirate groups, she naturally knew what the consequences would be after Istar was destroyed: "I have to go to the sea immediately. Home, you must tell everyone about this. Especially Deborah, he turned out to be Sauron's lackey, this thing must not be forgotten!"

"Don't be impulsive." Ling grabbed her hand and said, "The news must be spread so that others can prepare in advance. But the time of spread is very important, not to mention the fact that your strength alone is not enough to deal with the Pope's Hall. enough."

"Franklin said, Sauron just destroyed Istar and killed the leader Urson. Of course, many soldiers on the rebel side must have been killed. But don’t forget that the two remaining leaders are not dead. And all the troops will not just let Sauron and Dibora eat cleanly. In other words, they still retain a certain amount of strength."

Ling looked at everyone and said: "I want to go to Istar, and Franklin also asks me to take him back. He said that Istar is indirectly destroyed in his hands, and he needs to go back to confirm the current situation of the rebels. Condition."

"After I come back from Istar, I will go to the Sea House with you to tell others the news. Believe me, we still have a lot to do, and Sauron will never sit down because of it. Because..." Looking at Cinderella, he said lightly: "I'm here!"

Cinderella stayed for a while and said, "Can you accompany me to the side of the ship?"

Nodded, let Feng pass his instructions from generation to generation, and asked Billy to consult with Franklin on the route to Istar. He and Hindrella went to the ship's side deck outside Destiny, facing the sea, Hindrella suddenly turned around and said, "Who are you? Intervening in the disputes of our mainland shouldn't be the work of the so-called risky merchants? What's more, yours. The strength has far surpassed the strength that a caravan should have!"

"Put away your power." Zero calmly sat on the deck and said lightly: "I know, Cinderella. You grew up in the flames of war, and you chose to become a pirate to resist the Pope's Hall. But you I don’t want outsiders like me to intervene to make the situation worse, so you will use force against me at all costs when necessary, will you?”

Cinderella clenched his lips tightly and said, "Yes, even if I do this, I won't be happy in the future. But this continent is messy enough, and I don't want you to make it more chaotic."

"You are wrong." Zero beckoned and motioned for Hindrella to sit next to him.

Cinderella hesitated for a moment, and sat down in accordance with his words. Zero took her hand and gently kissed her hand: "Whether you believe it or not, I will tell you. Hindrella, my enemy is not here. It is not on any continent. It is very powerful. It’s so strong that it takes everyone’s power to be able to fight. For the Western Continent, I am indeed an outsider. But what I bring is definitely not chaos, but order. Because I hope that the Western Continent can become an after-order restoration. My ally, go with me to fight against that mighty enemy. This is not only for me, but also for the world."

"You may not understand right now, but please stay with me. I believe you will understand soon, and you can also supervise me. If you find that what I am doing is contrary to what I am saying at the moment, you can shoot at me at any time." Zero looked directly at Cinderella.

Hindrella conquered the land and looked at him, then nodded after a long time: "Okay, I believe you. But as you said, if one day I find you cheating on me, then we are enemies!"

"Don't worry, I won't let that moment come, my lord queen." Zero stood up and learned the tone of those pirates on the Water Monster.

Cinderella couldn't help laughing.

Zero said, "Go, let's see how Billy's waterway picture is going."

When the two came to the medical room, they just hit Billy and walked out. Franklin's description was clear and in place, allowing Billy to quickly draw the route to Istar. At the speed of the Destiny, they could reach Istar in three days. So Destiny bypassed the House of the Sea and headed for Istar along the route provided by Franklin.

At night, the Destiny was parked near an island. Hai Wei couldn't sit still on the boat, so they planned to go to the isolated island. Knowing that everyone will be busy next, he proposed to hold a banquet on the island altogether. The crew members were very happy to hear the news, and Zero also invited Franklin. The Giant's injuries are basically not serious, not to mention that he doesn't want to stay in the medical room, so he gladly accepts it.

It was only when he walked out of the medical room that Franklin clearly showed signs. When he came to the isolated island and looked at the Destiny, Franklin couldn't help but trembled.

"Scared, big man." Feng happened to take some food from the Destiny. Seeing Franklin like this, he hesitated and said with a smile: "Our boat is different from ordinary ones."

"Yeah, I was really shocked." Franklin lowered his head, his hands still trembling slightly.

The zero next to him looked in his eyes, thoughtfully.

Soon, everyone started a bonfire on the beach on the isolated island. Feng and Kaiton also went to the island to call a few mutated beasts and roasted them. The crew members were very happy to eat. They hadn't relaxed like this in a long time. In the end, these guys didn't even go back to the boat, set up the marching tent and slept on the beach.

Zero is no exception, but he woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. Ling quietly walked out of the tent, just to see the Destiny undulating slightly on the water under the dim red sky. A huge figure jumped onto the side deck, and then walked into the Destiny.

It was Franklin. He didn't use the pass key, but pressed the palm of the ship like zero, and the Destiny opened the door for him. There were other people on the boat, but they all fell asleep at this time. What's more, Franklin landed silently, and the tall figure followed the main passage of the spacecraft to the control room, no one knew at all.

He walked into the control room and went directly to the console. Franklin's hands were constantly sliding on the light screen of the console. If Billy was next to him, he would definitely jump up with excitement, because the weapon system that neither he nor Dr. Cord could decode was under Franklin's complicated operation. One untied. The light screen showed one by one that except for the particle beam main cannon, the antimatter cannons on each side of the bow and other weapon platforms changed from the red unusable state to the green active state.

Franklin searched for other systems, and finally said to himself: "Very good, all weapons are still usable. Although the efficiency of the energy system is not better than before, it is also okay. With it, it may be able to help everyone Save it..."

"That won't work."

Suddenly another voice rang at the door of the control room, and Franklin turned around abruptly. After the dim control room door, Zero walked out. Looking at Franklin condescendingly from the captain's platform, said: "It took us a lot of effort to make the Destiny ready for use. How can you say that you can't let Mr. Franklin drive away at will, right?"

"Destiny?" Franklin said, "Is this its current name? Destiny... Hey, it's also appropriate."

"Let us talk about you, Mr. Franklin. Our engineers have been unable to decode the weapon system but opened it for you three times. It seems that you are familiar with this spaceship from the last era. Then can I? It is speculated that, in fact, Mr. Franklin, you are not from this era?" Ling said lightly.

Below the control room, Franklin fell silent. But as his eyes gradually lit up and flushed, a rough and thick might also quietly exuded. Ling shook his head and said: "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Franklin. I have no intention of pursuing your identity. There are so many weird things in this world. If you are a person who does not belong to this era, it is nothing. I'm sorry to eavesdrop. I have already said what you said, but what you said just now seems to mean you are going to save some people. Of course, these people are your compatriots..."

"Before you went to Istar again, which means that you want to cooperate with the rebels in exchange for a chance to save your own compatriots. Since the object of cooperation is the rebels, then your enemy is naturally the Papal Chamber?" Zero A faint smile appeared: "If it's the Pope's hall, then our goals are the same. I think you might also be able to cooperate with me."

Franklin looked at Zero seriously, and he had to admit that Zero was smart. The outline of the entire event was inferred only by his few words, and the addition of zero indicates that he did not delve into his own identity, which won Franklin's favor. So he nodded: "How do you want to cooperate?"

Ling said lightly: "It's very simple. I still lack a deputy captain on board. Franklin is very familiar with Destiny's system. If you are willing to join, I believe the performance of Destiny can be greatly improved. Of course, I hope you I can tell my engineers how Destiny actually operates. In return, I will help you rescue those compatriots, how about?"

Franklin thought for a while and nodded: "It's fair, I can't think of a reason for rejection."

"Then you are welcome, our deputy captain." Zero smiled.

Three days later, Destiny passed through the natural tunnel of Crescent Moon Island to the Inner Bay and saw Istar from a distance. During these three days, the people on board were shocked again and again. First, Franklin suddenly became the deputy captain of the Destiny, and then he began to instruct several engineers, including Billy, to understand some of the previously encrypted systems of the Destiny. Under Franklin's guidance, the operators in the control room were finally able to use other weapon systems. After Billy's assessment, Destiny's performance has increased by at least about 50%.

As for how Franklin was able to decipher the encrypted systems of the Destiny, Zero only gave an explanation that their deputy captain was also a weapons engineer. Naturally, no one really believes in this explanation, but since Zero doesn't want to say it, other people won't get to the bottom of it. After all, everyone has more or less unwilling to be humane secrets.

Compared with Franklin's identity, Istar's appearance shocked everyone's attention even more. On the three windows of the Destiny control room, it can be seen that the flames burning on Istar have been extinguished. But there is still a plume of smoke rising on the island, a scene after the disaster. Franklin had been to Istar before, and now he has revisited his old place, and he has the deepest feelings.

Especially the calm inner bay before Crescent Island. Now that Istar is divided into two, the ocean currents in the sea are changed, and the previously calm inner bay is now turbulent. The natural whirlpools located on both sides of Crescent Moon Island also disappeared, leaving the base of the rebel army without the protection of the natural barrier. If the Pope’s Hall arrives at this time, Istar will be exposed to the guns of the Knights of the Seal.

Seeing this scene, everyone thought: Istar is over!

Istar is now divided into two peninsulas on the east and west. On the pier of the east peninsula facing the inner bay of Crescent Island, the Sinker is undergoing maintenance. Since chasing the Ironscale Moguo a few days ago, they did not return to Istar until two days ago. The damage of the Sinker was not serious, but the air wave caused by Sauron's crescent moon vacuum chop and the air-breaking bomb straddled a mast on the ship and some scattered parts of the hull.

Now that Urson is dead, Jesse and Oran are collecting Istar's remaining manpower. This time Sauron’s attack was vicious. Compared with other losses, the heaviest loss was the loss of the leader, followed by the destruction of the nuclear power plants and the Tower of Plenty at the north and south ends. The nuclear power plant is the source of energy supply for Istar, and the Tower of Plenty is the command center. The former is like blood, and the latter is the brain. Now that the blood is cut off and the brain no longer exists, Istar, the steel giant, naturally collapses.

At present, the remaining two giants divide labor and cooperate, Jesse recruits fighters, and Oran urgently forms a temporary combat team. Of course, both in terms of scale and capacity, they are no longer on the same level as before.

Istar has existed in name only, and the split of the island caused the currents to change, causing the previous natural barrier to quietly disappear. This island can't stay any longer, otherwise the papal hall only needs to dispatch two or three knights to clean up all their remaining power. The combat team headed by Oran provided several plans, of which only two were more suitable.

One is to choose another base area, and everything is done from scratch; the second is to break it up and infiltrate all the staff into the Western Continent, and then through the cooperation of the inside line of the Pope's Hall, continue the previous "harvest plan" in another way.

Of these two plans, Jesse and Oran unanimously decided to choose the latter. After all, it takes time and effort to choose another base, and it is impossible to rebuild a base the size of Istar in less than ten years. And now, they can't wait that long.

Since the second option is chosen, the remnant forces of the rebel army now have to be mobilized. It takes a certain amount of time to recover all available materials, gather the remaining personnel, and prepare the ships to migrate to the mainland.

Therefore, when the Destiny enters the inner bay of Crescent Island, the pier on the Istaton Peninsula presents a busy scene. On the Observation Deck of the Sinker at Pier 3, Destiny was quickly discovered by the soldiers above and passed the news to Jesse. After a while, Jesse returned to the dock from the inner island and boarded the warship. Taking the telescope from the soldier and looking towards the inner bay, Destiny immediately caught Jesse's eyes.

"There is no flag. I don’t know if it’s a pirate or a person from the Pope’s Chamber. But the ship looks very strange. Is the blue flame an energy propulsion system? There should be no such technology in the pirates~lightnovelpub.net~ So the Pope There are many possibilities for the hall!" Jesse put down his binoculars and shouted, "Let the dock heavy gunner prepare, and fire me once the enemy ship enters the shooting range! The others are ready for battle..."

"Can you hear me?"

Jesse was giving orders, and suddenly a huge voice came from the inner bay: "Everyone of Istar, don't get me wrong! I am Franklin. I come back to see where I can help! I beg you to let me The boat docked!"

On the side deck of the Destiny, Franklin yelled at Istar with his huge voice. The giant's voice resounded like muffled thunder throughout the inner bay.

Jesse looked through the binoculars, and it turned out that there was a tall figure standing on the strange ship. It was the giant Franklin they had brought back from Roaring Bay not long ago. But looking at the giant, Jesse gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry about him! It's because of him that we will give Sauron the opportunity. Maybe he is Sauron's running dog like Deborah! Don't let it go, everyone. Put bright spots on my eyes!"

On the Destiny, Lingkan’s fort on the other’s dock was still aiming in their direction, and immediately said: “It seems that they are not so friendly. There is no way, so they can only force landing.”
