He used the weapon in his hand to stab the captain in the chest again just in case, and the leading Takkanan assassin immediately divided the work.

However, the people who followed him to the warehouse were still a little worried about the other passengers and sailors on the ship, so they asked: "What about the group of people up there? Kill them all?"

Looking back at his companions, the leading Tak'anan assassin was silent for a moment, then replied: "Who should be killed to drive the ship? I was planning to do it when we were close to Sarn Harbor."

Hearing this, the faces of the people behind him were filled with embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, Captain. That guy's parents were killed by the Linland family. The opportunity just now was too good and he couldn't hold back."

The so-called Takanaan Family actually has a very loose organizational structure. Most of its members are alien dragon pattern holders who have been persecuted by the Twelve Dragon Pattern Families and the "abandoned children" of the Twelve Dragon Pattern Families.

Because of this, although everyone has the same goal and is working to disintegrate the Twelve Dragon Marked Families, when it comes to specific things, everyone’s ideas may be different.

The Takkanan assassin who is giving orders now is a direct member of the "main family", and whether it is the wanderer who can release force field impact and is chasing Udyr, or the gloomy-looking guy, they are all relatively idle peripheral members.

With a long sigh, the leading Takkanan assassin smacked his lips and did not blame the other party too harshly.

“It’s okay. We all have a deep hatred for the Twelve Dragon Mark Family. It’s normal that we can’t control ourselves, but I hope this is the last time.

There is still room for recovery. Listen to me. Take away only the thing the leader mentioned. Don't touch the rest. Follow my instructions. I will ensure that everyone can return to Sarn safely!"

Although the mistakes of subordinates are troublesome, they are also a great opportunity to regain their loyalty.

At this moment, the Takkanan assassin had already come up with an idea to escape.

…

"Eh? Why hasn't the captain come back yet? It's been a long time, at least an hour or two, right?"

In the cockpit at the rear of the steamship, the crew members who had been playing for several rounds finally noticed the time and the captain who was gone forever.

But at this time they had not yet thought that their captain had met with an accident, but thought that the captain had gone to the cabin where the nobles were.

"Hey! Maybe the Viscount of Throne Castle invited the captain to the party. Tsk tsk, I heard that those noble children were arrested for hosting the Impart. Maybe... hehe!"

With a somewhat lewd expression, he showed his companions an expression that said "those who understand will understand", and the sailor spread rumors irresponsibly.

But for those who are drifting on the sea, such colorful topics are always the best way to pass the time.

Although there is now a spirit card game, who would refuse to chat about these topics while playing cards? For a while, the speculation and discussion in the cockpit about the captain and those dissolute nobles gradually became intense.

The card game continued. About half an hour later, several sailors looked at the time and prepared to replace their companions who were on duty.

However, when they arrived at the sentry post, they found these bastards sleeping against the wall next to them.

"Get up! Go back to sleep! You two are really lucky. What if you fall off the deck? The waves are really big!"

The sailor who was sleeping soundly was suddenly awakened from his dream. He shook his groggy head, handed the lookout equipment to his companions on duty, and then went to sleep staggeringly.

The sailor who was officially on duty picked up his equipment and looked around perfunctorily.

He originally didn't care much about the lookout results. After all, there were very few pirates in this sea area, and even sea beasts rarely appeared.

But when he was about to end his lookout, he suddenly saw a small white sail.

The sailor moved his eyes away from the lookout, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and then looked back up again.

"One, two, three..."

When the sailor counted to the twentieth, he panicked.

"What's wrong?"

His companion obviously noticed that something was wrong with the other party, so he quickly patted him on the shoulder.

"Quick! Check the lifeboats! Damn! All the lifeboats have been launched into the sea!"

Simply launching a lifeboat into the sea would not have frightened the sailor so much, but if a bomb or something like that had been placed on the steamship, it would have been fatal.

In particular, the captain, who was supposed to be back soon, had not returned for a long time. This made the sailors mistakenly believe that something had happened on the ship and they were left on the ship to fend for themselves.

Running back to the cockpit quickly, the sailor breathlessly explained to the boatswain and the first mate what he had just seen.

The two people with the highest status except the captain stood up at once, and their eyes, which were a little cloudy due to playing cards all night, suddenly became much clearer.

"Quick! Go check where those nobles live, and wake up the two people on duty just now. Ask them if they fell asleep suddenly or if there is something else going on. The rest of you go down to the cabin to check if there is anything extra or missing on the ship!"

After a series of orders were issued, the whole ship suddenly became lively.

Soon, there was a knock on the door outside the sleeping cabin.

"Who is it?"

Viscount Lando, who had been busy for several days, had just had a chat about life with a noble lady. He was now very tired. When he heard the life-threatening knock on the door, his tone naturally became a little bad.

But he was also afraid that something had happened on the ship, so he gently comforted the noble lady on the bed who should call him cousin according to blood relationship, and got up and opened the cabin door.

Outside the cabin, the sullen-faced boatswain glanced inside the room and then uttered a hoarse voice: "The captain is missing, all the lifeboats have been put into the sea, and the current situation on the ship... is very bad!"

Seeing the boatswain's expression, Viscount Lando realized that something was wrong.

After listening to the boatswain's words, although he didn't understand what these things meant, the fact that "the captain is missing" gave him a bad feeling.

There is a clear difference between the ships operated by the holders of the Storm Dragon Mark and the rest of the ships.

Without them, only those pilots who are very proficient in navigation skills can bring the ship safely to its destination.

And now, they are in the "Thunder Sea", a storm-prone sea area, and they may encounter a typhoon of at least level 12 at any time.

Swallowing hard, Viscount Lando asked in a trembling voice: "What can I do to help you?"

The boatswain outside the door took a deep breath, and then asked solemnly: "Tell me, why are you able to board this ship! You were not originally on the list of accompanying personnel!"
