Yearning for Pirates

Chapter 18 Rescue
In the morning, Hill was awakened by a knock on the door, and Karen shouted anxiously outside the door: "Lieutenant General, there is a mission, hurry up."

Hill sat up, bowed his head for a while, and opened the door, "What mission?"

"Lieutenant General, Lianyu Island, 500 nautical miles away from the Navy Headquarters, has been under heavy rain for ten consecutive days. Most of the towns on the island have been flooded. All the people have moved to the only hillside on the island. However, the heavy rain will continue. It is estimated that one day later , the island will be completely submerged, and the local king requests the support of the Navy Headquarters to transfer the people."

Hill immediately regained his energy, and walked towards the port with a serious expression, "Have the sea rescue facilities been fully prepared? How many warships did the old man send?"

Karen followed Hill and replied: "Marshal Warring States sent us three warships, and there are only 1 life buoys in the headquarters."

"How many people live on the island?"

"According to the king's report, there are only 10 residents on the island."

"One hundred thousand? Is it a small island?"

Karen shook his head and said, "The island is huge, but it rains all year round. Many people must have immigrated to other islands."

Hill nodded, "Where is the nearest island to Lianyu Island?"

"There is a pasture island 200 nautical miles away from Lianyu Island. There are very few residents on the island, and they mainly herd sheep."

"Well, let's go."

According to Karen's report, the fastest time for the warship to arrive at Lianyu Island is 8 hours. Three warships can carry 5 people. Excluding the soldiers on the warship, they can carry 4 people each time. Three round trips are enough. Transfer everyone to Rain Island.

Four hours from Rain Island to Grass Island is enough, and one day and one night is enough to complete the transfer, and everything is in time.

Hill got into the boat and headed towards Lianyu Island first.

Kubi's speed was faster than that of a warship, and after 6 hours of acceleration, he finally arrived at Lianyu Island.

At this time, the towns on Lianyu Island have been submerged, only the small hillside in the center of the island is still halfway up, and if it goes down, the island will basically disappear on the continent of the world.

Kubi dragged Hill to continue walking. Before reaching the hillside, he saw many old people and children in the water lying on the wooden boards, most of their bodies were submerged in the water.

"Why don't you go to the hillside to hide from the rain?"

People were excited when they saw Hill's boat, "The hillside is full of the king's personal guards, and there is no place for us."

Hill frowned, letting go of his knowledge and arrogance, the more he felt, the more angry he became.

10 people?There are 15 people soaked in the water, and [-] people on the hillside, which is half of the data!

Hill's boat can hold up to ten people, and it is still under the premise that Kubi supports the boat with all his strength.

"Don't you have a boat here?" Hill asked.

The old man tried his best to scrape the board again, "Only the king has a boat, but he hasn't sailed for a long time, and because of the wind and rain for a long time, most of it has rotted away, and he can't sail."

Hill pulled the old man and the child onto the boat, and then pulled the surrounding people onto the boat, and ordered Kubi to transport them to the nearest island.

Kubi waved his tentacles to show his understanding.

"Moon steps." Hill used the moon steps to reach the hillside.

A group of soldiers surrounded the hillside, "Navy? Is it the navy? Go and report to the king."

A soldier hurried to the top of the hill, and Hill passed him directly and reached the highest point of the hill first.

An iron shed to shelter from the rain has been set up on the hillside, and King Xilulu on Lianyu Island is eating grapes leisurely and enjoying the service of the beauties.

Hill stood in front of Hiruru and frowned and looked at him, "Is this what you said there are only 10 people on the island?"

Xilulu stood up, "Is the navy finally here? What's the use of saving them, the old, young, women and children in the sea, they are pure waste of food."

If it weren't for Hill being a well-educated navy, he would really want to punch him now.

Hill took out the phone bug and called Sengoku.

"Hill? And when you took the initiative to call me?"

"Old man, how many warships are still available for deployment?"

Hearing Hill's obviously displeased tone, Warring States became more serious, "Didn't they already dispatch three warships to you? They only have 10 people, and they can be transferred in one day, so they have plenty of time."

"There are 15 people on land, and [-] old people and children in the sea! One day is not enough to transfer." Hill spoke with some anger.

"What?" Zhan Guo was also shocked, and said after a moment of silence, "There are still five warships in the headquarters, but the military strength of the headquarters cannot be empty, and we can only dispatch two ships to you."

Hill exhaled, "Well, let's speed up."

"Is the warship coming? Hurry up and let me aboard!" King Xilulu yelled from under the shed.

Hill glanced at it with disgust, "No, there is still about an hour."

"Not yet? It's really slow!" Xilulu complained a few words, and then comforted himself: "This hillside is no problem for an hour."

Hilulu continued to eat, and also admired the rain scene by the way.

It takes more than two hours for Kubi to transport ten people back and forth each time.

Hill found a place to sit casually, and looked at Hiruru with dissatisfaction.

The rain automatically insulates Hill.

Xilulu looked over curiously, "Why doesn't the rain hit you?"

Hill rolled his eyes, "Save the old, young, women and children in the water up the hillside."

"What did you say?" Xilulu stood up and screamed, "This hillside is already full of guards, how can there be a place for those people!"

"Then let the guards go soak in the water!"

The soldiers looked at Hill with unfriendly expressions, and Xilulu raised his voice, "What's the use of saving those wastes? They can't produce food, and they can't protect me?"

"The bodyguards are strong enough to spend more time in the water. Those old people will lose their strength after soaking for a while."

Hiruru ignored Hill, sat down and continued to drink and eat.

Hill sighed, went down the hillside, spread his knowledge and sensed the people in the water, an old man with gray hair obviously couldn't hold onto the plank, and his body began to fall.

"Moon step." Hill rushed over quickly, and when the old man was about to completely submerge in the sea, he grabbed the old man's hand and brought the old man up the hillside.

The pro-guards surrounded him, "The king has an order to prohibit civilians from coming up the hillside."

"Whoever drives off the person I rescued, I will throw him into the water!" Hill really couldn't figure it out. Don't the guards have any relatives on this island?Why can I just watch the old man and the child soaking in the water.

The guards glanced at each other, took two steps back, and did not dare to stop Hill again.

Hill turned around and ran towards a little boy. The little boy was obviously suffering from a high fever. The old man dragged his grandson desperately, almost unable to hold onto the board.

After rescuing the little boy to the hillside, Hill shouted to the people soaked in the water: "Come to the hillside, the king's personal guards will not drive you away."

However, after shouting for a long time, no one was willing to come up.

Hill really didn't understand what kind of ideological education the people on this island had received.

The guards can ignore their relatives soaking in the water, and the people in the water are willing to soak, and resolutely carry out the king's orders.

　Is it raining in your place?It was cloudy for a long time and not a single drop of rain fell.
