When Ryan received the report of the Lackville incident, he met with the leaders of the three elite guards in the living room of the Duke City Pavilion.

During Midsummer Festival, there are many passengers who take a boat to Ordis.

On the premise of ensuring the safety of passengers, Ryan did not intend to mobilize the navy of the leading army with great fanfare, so hiring a large-scale escort fleet became the best choice.

These escort ships were basically pirates before. By chance, they found that the profits obtained by escorting passing merchant ships for a fee were not low, and their income was more stable.

So the profession of the escort fleet, known as the sea hunter, came into being.

Prime Minister Osborne believes that these escort ships are unstable factors in the coastal areas, after all, the government has no control over them.

But Ryan and the nobles, who came from Haidu, knew very well that most of these black-to-white guard ships were very principled.

The unruly guardianship fleet has been eliminated by them internally. Now the elite fleets called to the office by Ryan all have a good reputation and strong strength among the people.

"Silver whale, red shark and black flag. It's not easy to see the three major guards of Ordis at one time. Please sit down."

Because they have been living at sea for many years, the three leaders and their respective deputys were dark-skinned.

The leader of the Silver Whale is only about 20 years old. From his left eyebrow, there is a deep scar across the bridge of his nose, which looks very tough.

The deputy he was beside him looked mature in behavior, but the girl in loose clothes had a very tender face, probably only about 15 or 6 years old.

The leader of the Red Shark is a heroic middle-aged woman with a not-so-pretty appearance and her tough temperament is not weaker than the leader of the Silver Whale beside her.

Her deputy was an elderly man who looked over 50 years old, but the kinky muscles on the other party made no one dared to underestimate this half-old strong man.

The commander of the Black Flag and the deputy commander are quite unique. The commander is a boy who looks only 12 or 3 years old, but the deputy commander is a taciturn and strong man, about two sub-districts in height.

The little boy sat on the deputy commander's shoulder and heard Ryan invite them to sit down before slipping off each other's shoulder.

Ryan looked at the six people with different styles and said with interest, "Several, I have a big business this time I need to entrust it to the escort fleet, but before that, I hope to know whether you are willing to accept my commission."

The female leader of the Red Shark said generously, "Mr. Duke, I have guessed the content of your commission. Is it necessary to protect the safety of tourists during the Midsummer Festival?"

"That's right."

Ryan smiled and nodded, "I think you should have taken on similar jobs in previous years. I won't say anything extra nonsense, let's get straight to the topic."

"Are you three... willing to accept my commission?"

"I, Scotty, accept it on behalf of the Red Shark."

The leader of the Red Shark was the first to say, "Over the years, we Red Sharks have accepted tasks as usual, and this year is no exception. As long as the price is right, there is no problem."

The Scar Captain of Silver Whale also nodded, "My name is Ricardo, and I also accept the entrustment on behalf of Silver Whale. In terms of remuneration... I believe that the Duke will not treat us unfairly."

A trace of cunning flashed in the little boy captain of the Black Rider's eyes, "I, Nokz, are also willing to accept it on behalf of the Black Flag, but I hope the reward will be increased compared to last year."

Ryan had learned from the information collected by the advisory group before that the commander of the escort troop named Nokz is actually nearly 50 years old, and he would maintain this teenage posture because of an accident.

Ryan did not know the details in depth, but only knew that it was caused by an ancient relic on the island, and that dangerous ancient relic was recycled by the Roaring Lion more than ten years ago.

Ryan asked calmly, "I want to know the reasons for raising the price. Although the Kane family is not short of money, I don't want to be slaughtered as a fat sheep."

Nokz nodded understandingly and said, "Of course, Scotty and Ricardo don't want to say that I'll be this evil person."

"There is a reason why I requested a price increase. Since the end of last year, there will be occasional strange sea monsters on the sea that I have never encountered before, which has added a lot of uncertainty to our going to sea."

The deputy brought by the Silver Whale Commander sighed sadly, "It's true... we lost a member of the group in March this year. Red Shark and Black Flag should have been damaged, right?"

Scoti smiled bitterly and touched the long green hair tied by the member of the silver whale. "Leonora is right, we lost three people when we were careless. Are the black flags two?"

"Well, that's it." Nokz shook his head. "Duke, because the risk of going to sea increases, it's not too much for us to ask for a higher reward."

Ryan said thoughtfully, "Sea Monster? What kind of sea monster is it? Can you describe the appearance?"

Ryan's instinctive feeling should be related to the fantasy beasts that appeared throughout the empire during the Civil War last year.

The three commanders looked at each other, and Scoti scratched his head. "We encountered a huge winged lion floating on the water. Because of its air superiority, we paid the price of three people dead and more than twenty people injured before killing them."

Ricardo frowned and said, "We Silver Whale encountered a huge turtle. Our flagship Silver Whale suffered great damage in the battle and finally managed to kill it."

The giant man beside Nokz said in a muffled voice, "The commander was not present at that time, I was leading the ship to the sea."

"What we encountered was a strange plant-type monster of Trinity, two tentacles with giant mouths and a subject that sprays acid rain, which is quite difficult to deal with."

'really……'

These three kinds of phantom beasts have appeared in Closebell, but I don’t know why they appeared in the Empire again.

"Well, I agree to increase the pay."

Although Ryan still couldn't figure out the joints, he at least knew that these three people were not talking nonsense.

"Just increase by 10% according to previous years' standards, what do you think?"

When Nokz heard this, his eyes lit up. His young face showed a funny expression of being a fanatical expression. He rubbed his hands and nodded and said, "No problem, no problem, 10% is enough."

Ryan smiled indifferently, "Then let it be, during Midsummer Festival, the safety of the sea will be..."

"Dongdong!"

A quick knock on the door sounded from outside, interrupting what Ryan hadn't finished.

Ryan frowned. He had told him before not to bother him if there was nothing important, that is...

"Come in, something urgent happened?"

"yes."

A gentle female voice came from outside the door. After the door opened, the person who walked in from outside was Lisha, who served as Ryan's secretary.
