Age Of Islands: I Can See Through All Things Chapter 35

Jack carried the head that had completely lost all signs of life and handed it to the person beside him.
Then, he continued walking forward.
This time, they were no longer as lucky as before. Everyone they found had died.
Before each of them was a tall pile of mermen corpses.
Jack instructed his men to clear them out and bury them properly.
Then, he continued walking forward.
This time, they arrived at the initial area of the mermen's attack.
He saw a white skeleton standing on a reef.
The Silver Swordsman who went to report said with a heavy heart, "Mr. President, this person is called Dave. He's very heroic. Even until the last moment of his death, he still hasn't forgotten his duty."
"Dave!" Jack repeated.
He did not know exactly what had happened.
But seeing that Dave did not fall even after turning into a skeleton, Jack knew his greatness!
Then, he said to the skeleton, "Don't worry, Dave. Your spirit won't dissipate!"
With that, Jack left with his men.
He was the president. This was not the best time to hold a remembrance.
He had to figure out the reason behind the sudden attack of the mermen.
Besides, he had to be clear about whether the mermen were the main force or the scouting group.
Because this would directly affect his response.
As for the training team members and the expedition, they had already prepared for a long time!
When they reached the hill, they saw Enger and Steve.
Jack asked: "Steve, how are our ships?"
"Three have been built, Mr. President, they are waiting for your inspection," Steve said.
Jack nodded.
Then, he looked at Regiment Commander Enger and said, "Arrange for people to find the remaining corpses of the Silver Swordsmen and bury them properly. Then, burn all the corpses of the mermen."

"Yes, Mr. President," Regiment Commander Enger said, "May I ask where they are to be buried?"
Hearing Enger's words, Jack froze.
Then, he could not help but look back.
Looking down from the hill, the situation in the valley was even more horrifying.
They had fought so hard!
At this thought, Jack had an idea.
He said solemnly, "Let's bury them here. They are true heroes. Their wills cannot be erased, they will be inherited forever."
The regiment commander nodded again.
"Also, that skeleton is called Dave. Make a statue of him, he deserves it!" Jack continued.
The regiment commander nodded again.
Then, Jack left hurriedly with his men.
It was an emergency. Jack could not afford to be in low spirits anymore.
No one knew if the mermen would attack in the next moment or if it would even be these weak mermen attacking again!
Jack and the others followed Steve to the coast.
Three huge cargo ships appeared before them.
Jack stood at the front of the dock.
The cargo ship was very tall, almost blocking out the sun.
The hull was made of a white base, and a mighty dragon was carved on the hull.
There were many colors on the dragon's body.
There were long red whiskers, brown dragon horns and green scales.
From afar, the dragon seemed to be alive.
The ship used the most primitive sail, with three masts that almost pierced through the clouds in the sky. It was so high that one could not see its top.
Everyone boarded the ship under Steve's lead.
The arrangement on the ship was very simple.
Apart from the usual necessities, there was nothing else.
Clearly, Steve had mastered the essence of the ceremonial guards that Jack had taught him.
After entering the cabin, the distribution inside was very uniform, be it washing clothes, cooking, or accommodation. The design was very reasonable as well.

Under Steve's lead, Jack visited all three cargo ships.
He was very satisfied with Steve's work.
These designs greatly exceeded Jack's expectations.
After asking around, he found out that there was a master shipbuilder among the slaves.
Jack even specially received him and expressed his satisfaction with his work.
Then, Jack left the coast with his men and returned to the castle.
After returning to the castle, Jack had Eugene call over the captain of the ceremonial guards, Cyril.
"How's the training going, Cyril?" Jack asked.
"Mr. President," Cyril seemed to have completely immersed himself in the role of a general. When Jack asked, he stood at attention without any obstruction and said, "I've screened a total of 50 people, and after half a month of training, there are already 30 people that can be deployed, out of which 24 are completely proficient, and are more than enough to take on the mission."
Hearing this, Jack nodded.
He did not expect it to be so soon.
Then, Jack said, "Let them prepare. I want to hold an inspection."
"Yes, Mr. President." Cyril saluted before departing.
Indeed, Jack also taught them the salute.
This action was very cool!
After Cyril left, Jack turned to Eugene and asked, "How's the training team doing?"
Eugene could not help but imitate Cyril's tone and actions as he replied, "Mr. President, according to the latest report, most of the 151 people in the trial have reached the standards set by you back then. They can be inspected at any time."
But the way he moved…
It was very sad to look at!
Jack nodded and said, "In that case, let's begin the inspection today. There's no time. We need to increase their strength as soon as possible!"
Eugene nodded.
He knew the situation!
There were not many Silver Swordsmen on the island now.
Apart from the three who were injured, and those who advanced to Gold Swordsman, there were only a dozen that could be used.
Aside from the three instructors and Cyril, there were only six people who could be sent onto the battlefield!
In the case of the massive battlefield, these six people were simply a drop in the ocean.
Therefore, in order to deal with the upcoming battle between the mermen, they had to form their own army as soon as possible.
Then, Jack followed Eugene to the training base.
After reconstruction, the base was now three times larger than before.
On the flat ground, there was a half-meter platform made of rocks and soil.
Below the high platform were various training teams that were standing at ease in formation.
Surrounded by three instructors and Eugene, Jack arrived on the platform.
The moment they stepped onto the stage, everyone shouted in unison, "Welcome, President, to the inspection. We will do our best in the assessment to show exemplary results!"
Their voices shook the entire stage and resounded in everyone's ears.
Looking at the faces below, Jack could not help but nod.
They were the future of the island!
Then, Jack stood in front of the platform and pressed his hands down. Everyone became quiet.
Countless eyes were cast on Jack.
Before taking the stage, Jack thought he would be nervous.
However, after he went on stage, an invisible sense of responsibility calmed him down.
His eyes slowly scanned from left to right.
In his line of sight, everyone below was dressed in ragged clothes. Their exposed skin was also full of scars.

The Time Machine has been adapted into three feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations.
