By the time Joey returned, the sailboat had already been launched.

He was pushing a wheelbarrow piled high with supplies.

As they passed a shallow ditch, the wheelbarrow bounced slightly, and some supplies were thrown off, forcing Joey to stop and collect them.

"Hey bearded guy, give me a hand!"

When Joey saw the bearded man standing among the group of female soldiers, looking rather unhappy, he beckoned him over to help.

When the bearded man heard Joey call him, he stopped staring at the group of female soldiers and ran towards Joey.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to be surrounded by so many beautiful women?"

Joey pushed the wheelbarrow, while the bearded man helped support the supplies on it.

"What's the use of being pretty? They won't want to sleep with me!"

The bearded man's words were straightforward, but also quite pragmatic.

"Don't think like that. Let's get to know them first. What if one of them agrees? Right?"

Joey tried to comfort the bearded man, but the bearded man didn't seem to appreciate it.

"Hmph, they may be happy, but I'm not!"

Look at our bearded man, he's quite a character. In Joey's past life, he would never have been a sycophant.

"They won't let me board the ship!"

The bearded man seemed to have hit the nail on the head, and his mood became even more unpleasant.

"Sleep together? It's only our first day together, so it's normal that I don't want you to sleep with me. It's only been three days since we met. Aren't you asking for too much?"

Joey misheard for a moment; this ship was not the bed he was looking for, and that damned Flanders accent from his past life.

"Joey, I was talking about that sailboat. It's too small; it can only fit a maximum of four people if you squeeze in!"

"They discussed having you drive the boat. The beautiful woman took one spot, then the old man. They chose one person out of ten to go with you!"

The bearded man spoke with a hint of indignation.

"Oh, I see. I'm so sorry, my thoughts were dirty. Let me talk to them!"

Joey thought for a moment, then pushed the wheelbarrow and the bearded man to the port.

"You move the supplies onto the ship first!"

Joey told the bearded man to stay there so he wouldn't get emotional and cause trouble later, and then walked over to Daines.

"Grand Scholar Daines, I heard you don't intend to let my brother board the ship?"

Joey got straight to the point, without any embellishment.

"Does he want to board the ship? What will happen to Lady Catherine if you two have any bad intentions on board? Lord Daines is no match for you! If we didn't need you to steer the ship, you would have stayed behind too!"

A heavily armored female soldier stepped out and stood directly between Joey and Daines.

"Fine, I quit!"

Joey spread his hands and sat down on the ground.

Sometimes, negotiations need to be straightforward like this. Don't beat around the bush. Just show your cards and go all in!

Who told the other side to start talking nonsense?

The heavily armored female soldier didn't expect Joey to pull out her trump card so directly, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

"You dare!"

Enraged, she drew her longsword from her waist.

"Don't be impulsive, let's talk this out!"

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Daines quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

The female soldier pushed her longsword back into its sheath and took a few steps back.

"She was only thinking of Lady Catherine, but it is indeed the best arrangement!"

Daines also seemed a bit troubled. What the female warrior said was actually the same as what he was thinking. If it really came down to a fight, he wouldn't be able to beat Joey and the bearded man.

“This arrangement is absolutely unacceptable. Big Beard is my brother, the blood brother. He must come aboard. If you are really worried, you can choose to stay and send a female soldier aboard!”

At this point, Joey couldn't care less about superiors and subordinates anymore. Staying here was too risky, and he couldn't risk his life to please these leaders.

Even if it's the life of a bearded man, it won't work!

As for others, he didn't think that much about it; he didn't think the spirit of selflessness should be used at this time.

Daines hadn't expected Joey to say that, which put him in an awkward position.

In this alternate world, "the leaders go first" is an ironclad rule, yet someone actually proposed the novel idea of ​​having the leaders stay behind to cover the rear while the ordinary employees go first.

"this……"

The usually learned Grand Scholar Daines was speechless for a moment, choked by Joey's words.

Joey sat silently on the ground, Professor Daines was at a loss for words, the armed female soldier glared angrily, and of course, there was a big bearded man who was busy unloading supplies.

The sea breeze blowing from the harbor was rather chilly.

"For the tribe!"

A voice in orc language suddenly broke the awkward atmosphere in the port.

Everyone at the port turned their heads and looked toward the source of the sound.

An orc, wielding a giant axe, charged rapidly toward the port.

Behind him were quite a few orcs, who, upon hearing the shout, became even more excited and accelerated their run.

"Get on the boat quickly!"

Joey Teng jumped to his feet and ran toward the sailboat, shouting at the bearded man.

The bearded man didn't waste any time. He had also heard the orcs' voices, and with Joey's reminder, he finally picked up a pile of supplies and jumped onto the sailboat.

Five female soldiers drew their bows and released their arrows, and then drew their long swords from their waists with clean and swift movements.

Scholar Daines stopped worrying about it, nodded slightly to the ten female soldiers, and ran towards the location of the sailboat.

He moved very quickly; you wouldn't guess he was an old man.
