After Yongen left the villa, he returned to Weber's place.

"Does the colonel plan to rest on Bipolar Island for a while?"

Bray said impatiently.

Yone glanced at Weber.

Weber nodded after feeling Yone's gaze.

When Yongen saw Webber nodding, he knew that Webber had told Bray about his next plan, and said with a smile.

"I'm going to rest on the island for a while this time. You can spend whatever you want. Bailey will pay for it all."

"The credit for finding Gazilnaro this time is due to Weber and Bray."

"In addition, Weber was injured in the battle with Gazilnaro. If he sails on the sea, it will inevitably be bumpy and it will be difficult to recover."

"Also, I didn't hold a celebration banquet for the two of them before when they were promoted to major. This time, I will take advantage of the few days of rest to make up for the celebration banquet."

Now everyone can see that Yongen is in a very good mood and speaks extremely generously.

It would have been a good thing to have a rest and hold a celebration banquet for Weber and Bray, but the soldiers were silent after hearing this.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy that you can rest?"

Yongen glanced at the faces of the soldiers. Their emotions didn't seem to be that high, so he asked.

"No, why wouldn't you be happy?"

A soldier said with some fear.

"Then why are you all looking like this? Shouldn't you usually just cheer at this time?"

Yong En said something strange when he heard this.

"..."

The soldiers were silent.

Weber scanned it, thought about it, saw the clues, leaned close to Yongen and whispered a few words.

"that is……"

"...Is that so? It's because I didn't think carefully."

After hearing what Weber said, Yongen also understood.

"Let me come and talk to them?"

Weber whispered.

"good."

Yone understands that certain things might be better served by letting Webb do them.

"You guys come with me."

After getting permission, Weber said to many soldiers.

"..."

The soldiers followed suit.

Bray also wanted to follow, but was held back by Yongen, who said angrily.

"No, what are you doing following me?"

"No, what is Weber going to do? I want to follow him to see what's going on."

"Ignore these things and sit down first."

Yongen sat down directly on a bench and said.

"……All right."

Seeing how serious Colonel Yongen was, Bray sat down obediently.

But his body was a little restless and he looked in the direction that Weber left.

※※※※※※

As for Weber.

Weber first took them back to the warship and stood on the deck looking at the soldiers.

"Ahem!"

Not long after the battle with Gazilnaro, Weber's body had not really recovered, and he coughed a little uncomfortably.

The soldiers looked at the pale Weber and wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to speak.

Upon seeing this, a soldier immediately ran into the cabin, immediately lifted a barrel and placed it behind Weber.

"Thanks."

Weber nodded to the soldier to express his gratitude, and then sat on it.

"No, this is what should be done."

The soldier said respectfully, and then returned to the group.

Weber sat on the barrel, looked at the soldiers, and said slowly.

"I can probably guess why you are in such a low mood."

"Do you feel like the colonel didn't tell you that there was going to be a battle when he was in the Chambord Islands?"

"And the same goes for the pirates on Bipolar Island this time. They didn't inform you, which made you feel a knot in your heart?"

"But I know very well why the colonel did what he did."

"And then add this time, the colonel paid for all of you to enjoy yourself for a few days, causing you to be very confused now?"

"..."

The soldiers looked at each other and no one spoke, obviously acquiescing.

For these soldiers, when they were in Xinde Town on the East China Sea, even if there was no mission, most of the time, even if they were not exercising, they were on standby on the warship at any time and were not allowed to leave the warship easily.

There wasn't that much time for them to rest and enjoy themselves, but since they followed Colonel Yongen, they had more time to do so.

However, even though Colonel Yongen was willing to give them time to rest and enjoy themselves, these soldiers did not know how to accept such a good thing.

Although they all knew that the colonel had fought against Caponebeki on the Chambord Islands before.

It was the unknown and terrifying pirates I met on Bipolar Island this time. Their strength was terrifying, and they were far beyond the ability of this group of people to fight face to face.

This was information that the soldiers only learned later, but Webber and Bray had obviously known the information for a long time.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in order to prevent them from encountering these terrifying pirates and causing casualties, Colonel Yongen deliberately avoided them and allowed them to come into contact with these pirates.

But the more Yongen did this, the more these soldiers felt guilty.

Weber and Bray had fought against these terrifying pirates, and some soldiers had witnessed with their own eyes that Weber was seriously injured in just a few moves. Bray covered Weber's desperate escape, and the two of them could rest and enjoy themselves.

Even if the soldiers were a little envious, they would not be jealous because they all knew that Weber and Bray deserved this.

But they themselves did not achieve much, but they were able to enjoy the same opportunities for enjoyment as Bray and Webb.

Just realizing this, the soldiers suddenly didn't know how to face this supposedly happy event.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about it. The colonel will think about your safety. It's just that your current strength is not enough to help the colonel."

"us……"

Hearing this, the soldiers seemed to want to say something, but Weber stretched out his hand to stop them.

"Listen to me and continue."

"Actually, the colonel's behavior is protective. It just so happens that from another level, the colonel also values ​​you."

"Then there is only one thing for you to do, and that is to grow up quickly enough to be able to help the colonel. That is what you should think about."

When the soldiers heard that they were also valued by the colonel, their expressions began to brighten.

Weber saw them like this and said with a smile.

"Since the colonel said that all of you can rest and play together, it means that the colonel treats everyone equally."

"Then you don't have to worry about what mood you should be in to enjoy yourself."

"You must know that we are a navy, and what we will face in the future are vicious pirates with unknown strength and cruel personalities."

"Even if we know we are outmatched, we may still have to fight with him, which means we may die at any time."

"Just like me, if Colonel Yongen hadn't arrived in time to save me and Bray today, then I might not be able to sit here and talk to you about this right now."

When Weber said this, a self-deprecating look appeared on his face.

The fundamental reason for this situation is that he is too confident in his soaring strength.

The colonel had obviously given him special instructions, but he still underestimated the possibility that the colonel said that even if he and Bray fought Gazilnaro together, he might lose his life.

"Webber, you have done a good job. If we were allowed to go up and fight..."

When a soldier heard this, he said seriously

"No need to say comforting words, I understand all of this."
