NOVEL NEXT Chapter 147: Soldier, Tang Yuan
The captain leading everyone into Lvchun Island is named Tang Yuan.
At this moment, he is leading everyone, advancing continuously and soon arriving at the port of Lvchun Island.
"Tang Yuan, are these the new batch of captains coming to guard Lvchun Island?"
Meanwhile, on Lvchun Island, several Blue Star Captains are preparing to leave.
These Blue Star Captains are undoubtedly all at the ship captain level.
They were taken aback when they saw Fang Yu and the others, scanning up and down the sea ships of Fang Yu and others, and when they noticed that these were still cargo vessels, a trace of peculiar expression appeared in their eyes.
"I don't understand why these cargo ship captains are getting involved in this. This is not a safe place. Without being at the ship captain level, staying here is pure torment."
They shook their heads, but none of them, like Tang Yuan, wanted to stay and guard Lvchun Island alongside Fang Yu and the others.
After casually complaining a few words, these captains, behaving as if it was none of their business, shook their heads and left directly on their ships.
They weren't willing to stay here even for a minute, their minds set only on returning to Qiyun Port to settle tasks.
On site, only Tang Yuan remained on Lvchun Island.
Everyone looked at Tang Yuan with a slight fondness in their hearts.
Although the ship captain level commanders on Lvchun Island, including Tang Yuan, complained about everyone's sea ships being just cargo ships, considering them somewhat overambitious, only focusing on tasks.
But only Tang Yuan, upon realizing that the power of cargo ships was simply not enough to defend Lvchun Island, took the initiative to communicate with superiors, desiring to stay on Lvchun Island, to guard the sea ore with Fang Yu and others.
This sense of responsibility alone is entirely unmatched by other captains of the same batch who reached the ship captain level.
"Brother Yuan!" Even the proud Shi Jun referred to him as Brother Yuan, looking at Tang Yuan and said, "Brother Yuan, why do you choose to stay and guard Lvchun Island with us?"
"Actually, we are not as weak as you think. With our strength, we can also defend Lvchun Island."
Tang Yuan glanced at everyone, then shook his head: "Brothers, you may consider this a task, but for me, defending the land has become an ingrained responsibility."
Upon hearing Tang Yuan's words, everyone was taken aback: "Brother Yuan, you on Blue Star were..."
"That's right, I was a soldier on Blue Star. Many people enter this world and treat it as a game, but I won't."
"Entering this world means taking responsibility for it. Leaving without accountability is not something I can do."
After hearing Tang Yuan's words, Fang Yu and others couldn't help but hold him in high esteem.
This world, although not Blue Star, also has many people feeling they should not integrate into this world, lacking emotions for anything in this world.
Still, a significant portion of people are filled with a sense of responsibility.
Even if it's not their world, they still put in their effort to protect it.
Seeing everyone wearing expressions of deep respect, Tang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head, while leading the way and addressing Fang Yu and others:
"I'll briefly explain the precautions for guarding Lvchun Island with you all."
Fang Yu and others quickly perked up their ears, listening carefully.
Seeing Tang Yuan reach out, pointing into Lvchun Island, where a large amount of dust swirled up, various large machines were operating all around, making rumbling noises.
Miners and truck drivers orderly transported mined minerals, moving them into warehouse positions for storage.
"Over there is the mining area where many workers, drivers, and contractors are active in this area."
"While we do not operate within the mining area, we are stationed around the island, and especially during wartime, we should refrain from disembarking as much as possible."
Upon hearing Tang Yuan's words, Fang Yu and others nodded.
Especially Fang Yu found this scene very familiar.
Previously, at Ji Clan Trading Association's Sea Ore Island operated similarly.
Internally, miners and mine vehicles worked, while externally, some troops were stationed for the security of Sea Ore Island.
However, now Fang Yu's role has shifted from the captain of cargo ships transporting sea ore to a member of the troops ensuring the safety of Sea Ore Island.
Moreover, his targets for prevention have shifted from pirates to marine warlords.
Judging from the recent strategic contest between marine warlords and the Duorong Federation,
Indeed, Fang Yu and others guarding Lvchun Island face much greater challenges and risks than the previous troops of Ji Clan Trading Association.
Fang Yu looked towards Tang Yuan ahead, wanting to hear Tang Yuan's explanation on the risks of guarding.
Sure enough, Tang Yuan turned his head, glanced at Fang Yu and others, then smiled and said, "You're all certainly curious about what tasks we need to perform while guarding, and what dangers might we encounter, right?"
Everyone eagerly nodded, as this is what everyone wanted to know in advance.
Fortunately, Tang Yuan stayed, to give advice and share his experience with everyone as a senior.
"Our work is divided into two parts."
"The first part is to inspect the documents of the passing cargo ships, ensuring they have the access documents to enter Lvchun Island; otherwise, entry is strictly prohibited."
