Chen Wu looked at the items used by the people in the camp and exclaimed,
"Sir, the things these people are using are exactly the same as the bottles and jars we salvaged from the Endless Sea last time!"
"And there are some we've never seen before, but they're all made of the same material!"
The peculiar items that had drifted from the Endless Sea last time were all found by Chen Wu and his companions.
That's why he recognized them, and as soon as the people in the camp brought them out, he recognized them.
This made him wonder, could those things from last time have been brought by these people?
The deputy general had also seen those bottles and jars last time and nodded,
"They are indeed all the same. It seems these things were thrown into the Endless Sea by these people."
His expression was somewhat displeased.
Because he had come to understand that the bottles and jars they had treated with such seriousness and caution last time might have been a pile of trash!
The people in the camp took out cans of things, opened them, and ate what was inside.
Then they casually threw the cans away, their actions clearly indicating they were discarding trash, and tossing it far away.
The items they had treated with utmost solemnity, which they had even assigned a team of soldiers to guard, turned out to be trash?
The deputy general felt that if General Fan were to know, he would likely be so angry his face would turn red.
Chen Wu and the others also realized this, and their faces immediately fell.
When they had first discovered them, they had been startled and dared not touch them, fearing they were contaminated with curses or ill omens.
Now they were being told that these bottles and jars were actually just casually discarded trash?
This made their faces flush with shame and indignation!
"These... these people are too uncivilized, throwing trash everywhere, and so much of it!" Chen Wu said indignantly.
The word "civilized" was proposed by His Majesty. His Majesty required that from the civil and military officials to the common people of Da Gan, everyone should be civilized and promote new customs.
Therefore, the people of Da Gan were very well-behaved, and at least they did not litter, with only a minority doing so.
The deputy general's expression gradually became disdainful, saying,
"How could these humans from the Endless Sea understand His Majesty's sacred words?"
Chen Wu and the others nodded in agreement, their expressions filled with reverence,
"His Majesty is benevolent and wise. Without His Majesty, there would be no Da Gan where everyone can live and work in peace!"
The people of Da Gan, whether military, officials, merchants, or civilians, all held His Majesty in immense respect.
Before Da Gan appeared, the eastern region of the Great Wilderness was a place of suffering, where people not only had to guard against the invasion of wild beasts and demonic beasts but also endured the oppression of the Great Hao dynasty.
At that time, people had vacant eyes, living like puppets. Even cultivators, despite their powers, had a difficult life, being constrained by the imperial court. It was for this reason that His Majesty rebelled and overthrew the Great Hao dynasty.
In the current Da Gan dynasty, everyone lives and works in peace. With the four border armies, there is no need to worry about the invasion of demonic beasts.
The imperial court also treated commoners very well. Not only was education free for children, but taxes were also reduced. Merchants had security in their businesses, and cultivators were free to come and go as they pleased, with no obligation to serve the court.
Compared to the dog-like life before, the current Da Gan was incredibly good!
The four of them continued to observe, recording every detail of the camp, not missing a single point.
The deputy general once again used a technique similar to "wind-following ears" to try and eavesdrop on the situation in the camp.
But soon, he frowned and said,
"These people are not speaking the language of the Great Wilderness. It's very strange, I can't understand them at all!"
"What's even more bizarre is that within these people, they are divided into several languages, at least five or six!"
He was shocked.
In a group of hundreds of people, there were five or six languages. Each group spoke differently, and the deputy general couldn't understand any of it.
The Great Wilderness had unified its language countless millennia ago, and even the demonic beasts, after transforming, used the same language.
Chen Wu and the others also widened their eyes, incredulously saying,
"If they all speak different languages, how do they communicate with each other? Do they have to learn several languages!?"
All four of them were from the Great Wilderness and couldn't understand these humans from the Endless Sea.
They couldn't understand these unfamiliar languages at all and had no idea what these people were saying.
The deputy general's expression was grave, and he said, "You all monitor these people here and be extremely careful not to be discovered, to avoid any trouble."
Although these people still appeared to have no supernatural powers, the deputy general remained cautious and did not act rashly.
It would take at least ten to twenty days of observation to determine the true nature of these people.
"Yes!" Chen Wu and the others replied solemnly.
The deputy general left the wooden boat and returned to the eastern garrison camp.
When he returned to the camp, a new army had arrived, numbering three thousand men, flying a large banner with the word 'South' written on it.
The southern garrison had arrived.
The deputy general recognized this army and then saw General Fan and General Bai Zhan of the southern garrison engaged in a heated battle on the camp's arena!
"Hahaha! Old Fan, after all these years, you haven't improved at all. I've pulled ahead again!"
A burly man with a thick beard roared with laughter, then threw a punch at Fan Cheng.
Fan Cheng easily dodged Bai Zhan's punch and glared at him, "Have you had enough? If you don't stop, don't blame me for being rude!"
He was skilled with a spear, while Bai Zhan's specialty was his fists. Fighting bare-handed, he was at a disadvantage.
"Enough, enough. If we fight any longer, you'll lose. I have to save some face for you in front of your subordinates," Bai Zhan stopped attacking, his expression relaxed as he said.
Fan Cheng retorted angrily, "Nonsense! If I were using my spear, could you last ten rounds?"
As they argued, the surrounding soldiers ignored the scene, as they were already accustomed to it.
The deputy general stepped forward to interrupt them and reported,
"General, there is the latest situation regarding the people who came from the Endless Sea!"
...
On the Endless Sea, two speedboats were speeding across the water, with fully armed soldiers standing on them.
It had been half a day since they entered this sea area for rescue, but they still hadn't found any trace of the 'Nix' ship.
However, the good news was that the fog was becoming increasingly thin, allowing them to see the situation on the distant sea.
At this moment, a scout soldier on the front speedboat exclaimed in surprise,
"Report! Land sighted at eleven o'clock, approximately two kilometers away!"
Upon hearing the scout's report, a US soldier immediately retorted,
"Impossible! There is no land in this sea area, not even islands!"
"Our US military has been sailing the Pacific for decades. If there were land, we would have discovered it long ago!"
The others nodded in agreement, also believing the scout had misidentified.
There was no land in this sea area, and their satellite maps could prove it.
"There really is land! If you don't believe me, look!" The scout directly handed his binoculars to a few people, letting them see for themselves.
