As everyone sailed to Yunjiji Island, they quickly saw a Blue Star Captain standing on Yunjiji Island, looking at them with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

"You actually returned?"

A Blue Star Captain standing on Yunjiji Island spoke unexpectedly, his gaze sweeping over Fang Yu and the others.

"We're back!"

Looking at the Blue Star Captains still stationed on Yunjiji Island, several captains who followed Fang Yu to battle couldn't help but grin and say.

At this moment, they cast their eyes on those Blue Star Captains who chose to stay on Yunjiji Island and dared not go to battle, and couldn't help but feel a slight sense of superiority in their hearts.

Indeed, it is superior!

Their group chose to follow Fang Yu to fight in the Ijima waters, experiencing harsh sea conditions and two battles, one substantial and one minor.

It can be described as an immensely enriching experience and insight.

And through this experience, everyone gained a lot, with each ship on average increasing by one level, and accumulating considerable military merits.

It is very likely that after Kong Huaao returns, everyone's military rank will leap by one or two minor levels.

Might even directly upgrade from enlisted rank to officer rank.

This is like a long-term upgrade card for everyone.

Captains with higher level, executing the same tasks, earn more experience rewards than those with lower levels.

The rate of growth is faster too.

Accruing military merits is not easy, but this time, following Fang Yu on the expedition, everyone's gained military merit has left each person satisfied.

When setting out, the level of everyone and the captains who dared not join Fang Yu were about the same.

Upon returning, they had long left behind those captains who chose to stay stationed, and eventually, they might even become the nominal superiors of these captains.

Moreover, due to various encounters and the baptism of war, the cohesion and response capabilities of the Blue Star Captain and their crew improved significantly.

They became more loyal; after going through things together, they each developed a "brotherhood in arms."

This is actually a kind of soft enhancement.

One's capability is naturally important.

But one's quality and psychological resilience against danger are equally important.

Experiencing such a level of warfare ensures that these captains, as well as their crew, grow faster in future voyages compared to other captains.

In this world, rewards always go to the brave.

Those willing to take risks and face the winds and waves will sail farther.

70 captains were willing to leave Yunjiji Island with Fang Yu to battle in the Ijima waters.

Although only 62 returned.

But these 62 have achieved gains that ordinary captains simply cannot.

So... at this moment, these 62 people looked at the captains who chose to remain stationed on Yunjiji Island, slightly shook their heads, knowing after this battle, the gap between them would gradually widen.

"Your losses are that small?"

Just then, a captain who chose not to go to the battle and instead remained on Yunjiji Island looked at the returning group with surprise, then a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said:

"Seems you all didn't penetrate deep into the warlord's frontline, right? Otherwise, how could your losses be so minimal?"

"You must have only been at the periphery of the Ijima waters' frontline, attempting to attack Ijima, then got deterred by the warlord's weapons, and retreated back, right?"

This person was named Zhao Yuanming, who had hesitated when Fang Yu was recruiting Blue Star Captains.

Ultimately, he thought it was too risky and dangerous, so he was dissuaded.

He gave up on going out with Fang Yu to battle Ijima and only dared to keep stationed at Yunjiji Island, choosing to play it safe.

But... human nature is such.

When someone gives up moving forward due to their fear, the first anticipation in their mind is not for their peers to find treasure ahead but hoping they encounter dead ends and have to turn back.

Zhao Yuanming was precisely this way.

Seeing Fang Yu and the others soon finish their march and return to Yunjiji Island.

And the loss rate didn't seem like they had gone through a big battle, leading Zhao Yuanming to subconsciously define Fang Yu and the others' expedition result according to his imagined facts.

Look!

Weren't these people claiming to be very brave, unafraid of risks, and daring to seek opportunities?

How did it turn out?

Recklessness certainly doesn't bring gains, they left with such arrogance only to not even cross the warlord frontlines, instead getting blocked outside, driven back.

Speaking of results, staying safely stationed on Yunjiji Island might have been better.

At least, staying on Yunjiji Island didn't incur any losses.

Look, the Blue Star Captain lost... 7 or 8 ships?

The military's ships, dozens more.

This outcome must be quite embarrassing for Fang Yu?

Sure enough, I, Zhao Yuanming, had foresight, recognizing this action as unreliable, wisely choosing not to waste time going along.

How does it seem now?

If Ijima had been captured, the military would have already sent news of it.
