Chapter 704: Chapter 512: The Furious “Fisherman”._2 Chapter 704: Chapter 512: The Furious “Fisherman”._2 To avoid startling the heretics, Colin didn’t rush on his way as he usually did with a great fanfare.

Instead, he meandered through the use of Little Maid’s and “Yukionna’s” powers…

Even leisurely standing on a seawater-corroded plank, fishing with a hook he had just bought at an auction while moving forward…

He had always heard that seafood caught straight from the sea was especially delicious, and today, having some free time, he decided to give it a try.

“Yukionna” floated beside him, batting her large eyes in curiosity at what he was doing.

“This is fishing.”

Colin explained his actions to “Yukionna” with a smile, taking the opportunity to temper her somewhat eager personality.

“With fishing, the most important thing is patience. If you have patience, sooner or later a fish will bite, just like now, there are fish following the bait, and when the time comes, I’ll let you try the freshly caught fish. It’s absolutely delicious,” Colin said like an experienced angler.

“Yukionna,” with the figure of a lady but the intelligence of a little girl, lay next to Colin by the edge of the plank, licking her lips with her tongue in half-understanding, curiously peering into the water, eagerly waiting for the fish to bite.

About ten minutes later, she looked up at him and exhaled a puff of cold air…

“Are you wondering why there hasn’t been a bite yet? It’ll happen soon, don’t rush, be as composed as I am.”

Colin nodded, indicating the need to wait a little longer, as rushing would only spoil the effort.

An hour later, “Yukionna” looked at him again.

Colin’s expression became more serious—

He could feel that many fish seemed interested in his hook, but they wouldn’t bite; instead, they followed along, nibbling at the bait…

“What the hell, following me and nibbling without biting, you’re just teasing me!” Colin grumbled under “Yukionna’s” watchful eye, as he cast his fishing rod and jumped into the water.

Dammit, you can’t let them get away with this!

Before long, Colin still managed to enjoy the fish he caught with “Yukionna,” despite some minor setbacks.

After a simple meal, he took out the seldom-used “Emblem of the Humility Knight,” reducing his presence before drifting toward his destination.

Of course, although he wasn’t moving at full speed, he was still much faster than most cars on the highway.

The vast sea showed no sign of stormy waves, and the scorching sun shone on the sea surface, reflecting off it like shiny scales…

“It sure is hot near the Equator.”

Colin grumbled to himself as he felt the warmth from the direct sunlight.

Almost two hours later, following the mission’s guidance, Colin finally saw a small island on the sea surface, as tiny as a grain of rice.

Unexpectedly, instead of being a deserted and secluded island covered with tropical rainforest, he found a small inhabited island with a miniature port.

“These heretics sure know how to pick a place…” Colin muttered, watching the small city built along the island and sending a picture to Xu Duojin with his phone.

Shortly after, Xu Duojin replied.

“We’ve checked, and it should be a midway supply point. It originated from the era of World War II powers, a bit off the beaten track but not too remote. Now it has been converted to a general merchant ship supply point. The island normally has a population of around thirty thousand. Besides that, there’s an abandoned Fungus Garrison Base from decades ago.”

“Thirty thousand?” Colin pinched his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

The heretics were likely hiding in only a small part, but if any trouble arose, the majority would be affected, and with the numbers being high, civilians were likely to suffer casualties.

As for the background of the island, he was not too interested in learning more, since the mission did not require gathering such information.

At this moment, Xu Duojin continued to send messages.

“At present, under the guise of military… exercises, our naval forces should be able to reach the island within five hours. If needed, we can provide long-range strike capabilities or support a beach landing, etc…”

“If that’s not enough, other countries are currently conducting anti-pirate exercises under the name of joint…military…exercises in the Indo…cean. They’ll be slower, arriving in about nine hours for long-range strikes and other assistance. You can also call on their forces if required…”

“Alright, that’s sufficiently robust in military virtue…”

Colin floated in mid-air, looking at the information on his phone, then indicated that he didn’t need that right now.

However, should a fight break out, he would need people to evacuate the innocent.

After briefly mentioning his needs, Colin put away his phone and, after about fifteen minutes, stealthily came ashore on the edge of the island. Then, he entered the small port city…

After all, this mission involved infiltrating the enemy’s stronghold, so he had to be a bit cautious.

To avoid capsizing in a small ditch, as one might say.

As the island’s only bustling area, it was densely packed with people.

The locals mainly consisted of darker, smaller Southeast Asian types, as well as the occasional other nationalities resting at the port…

On the streets, there were also armed guards…

But whether it was guards or anyone else, no one noticed Colin as he walked among them.

However, after walking around for quite a while, he hadn’t seen any sign of the heretics.

“They are well hidden. If it wasn’t for the mission guidance, I probably wouldn’t know there was an issue here… but speaking of which, the lobsters and fish here are indeed really cheap…”
