The group of soldiers and helpers keep practicing until all the ammo that Razlov have bought was exhausted. When all the ammo has been used up, some of them have that look of satisfaction and discontent shown on their faces.
Razlov could only smile wryly when he saw that some of them are discontented of not being able to use and fire the 40mm gun to their heart's content.
Then they went back to the Harbor and return to the camp.
For the remaining two days before they set sail back to Sanloris, Razlov let the group and the two helpers use the patrol boat for practice from morning till sundown, not even minding the fuel being spent. Razlov has no issue regarding the group using the patrol boat and about the fuel being spent because the patrol boat can last for about 10 days of travel in the sea without rest or refueling it. So he just let them use it since it will also serve as training for them to learn how to maneuver the boat until the two days are over.
When the two days time was over, Razlov and the 2 teams started their journey back to Sanloris with the two helpers. Their journey did not even take a day to arrive at Sanloris, they left the island and set sail in the afternoon then arrive at Sanloris before sunrise. All the people on board the boat were in awe at the speed of their travel; except for Razlov as he has no qualms about how fast they have traveled since this boat travels at the speed of 5 knots or 35 kilometers per hour.
When the patrol boat was just about a kilometer away from the port of Sanloris, all of the fishermen that have set sail early in the morning were stunned and shock when they encounter and saw the patrol boat that sails without sail and made out of metal. They keep looking at the boat that it seems like their eyes were glued on it while they keep following it in their sight as it passes them that their neck is about break. And even the people at the port were the same when the patrol boat docks at the port.
Disembarking the boat, people keep looking at Razlov and his group but he just takes no notice of it as he continues to make his way unto the Inn.
Arriving at the Inn, what greeted Razlov was Adam and Lecia's teams relaxing while drinking. When Adam saw him, he immediately stands up, straightens himself and gave a salute.
"Attention!"
When the rest heard Adam they immediately stand up, look at the direction where Razlov is, then they straighten themselves up, and gave a salute.
Selina who was at the counter was startled when she suddenly heard Adam gave a shout and she was then surprised when the rest of people suddenly stands up and greeted Razlov.
"At Ease"
When they heard Razlov they still did not ease instead they all remain standing and seems worried. And so Razlov gazes at them in a perplex look.
"Commander, th~this is, ah"
Seeing them like that; bothered and unease. He finally understands what they are worried about.
"Relax, I don't intend to punish you or prevent you from drinking as long as you are off duty there are no problems with it. Just control the amount you drink"
"Continue what you've all been doing and you don't have to mind me"
After hearing that they would not be punished for drinking, they all heave a sigh of relief. As they were about to get back from drinking they saw their other comrades that have been left in the island here at Sanloris. They all greeted each other and invite them to drink and Razlov gave his approval.
Then Razlov walks toward the counter where Selina is.
"Were you surprised at how they greeted me?"
Selina was still in awe when she heard Razlov, she then looks at him and smiles.
"Yeah, surprised that I almost went into labor"
Razlov wryly smiled at Selina's joke, he then flicks her forehead lightly.
"It would be in another 8 months before it happens"
They then both smiled at each and then they started chatting with each other. They only stop chatting when they notice that Lecia with two others was waiting for them to finish chatting.
"What is it, Lecia?"
"Commander, here are the results and reports when we did some request."
Razlov receives 2 big pouches of gold coins and piece of paper containing the jobs they've done during the time he was away and it's reward with also regarding how much they've earned when they sold some goods to Wally.
From the report, they did a total of 5 jobs; two of them are bandit subjugation request. They then manage to earn a total of 2000 gold coins from the reward and selling of goods.
"Good work, later I will give all of your rewards. You may leave if that's all."
When Lecia heard Razlov that she can already leave, she was troubled. Wondering whether she should ask Razlov or not. In the end, she decided to ask.
"Um, Commander, aren't you gonna ask about the details regarding when we did some personal jobs?"
He then looks at Lecia and said.
"Why would I? I give you my permission so there's no need to plus, I trust all of you"
When she heard what Razlov have said, she was emotionally touched that he trusts them and promise in her heart that she will never betray their Commander's trust. And even the rest of Razlov's subordinates who are just listening were touched when they heard him and also promises that they will never betray him.
After that, they continue chatting with each other making the whole Inn boisterous. Those who experience operating the patrol boat and firing the 40mm gun keep boasting about what they personally experience when they use it to those who have not experience it yet since they all remained here at Sanloris. Hearing what their comrades said about the boat and the gun, they are all eager and excited to personally experience using it making them look at each other as they understand something. Before Razlov left Sanloris 7 days ago, they heard him said 'that with the money they have earned he would surely be able to buy new equipment' and now they knew what equipment their Commander was murmuring about.
Razlov just keeps listening to their conversation with a smile since what they have seen and experience was only the tip of the iceberg. What they are using right now are outdated and they have never seen or experience yet the true might of modern weapon.
The soldiers keep drinking and chatting until night falls and all of them were drunk and Razlov just let them be since it's their free time anyway. And they also have to release some steam sometimes.
While Razlov was only chatting with Selina since she is not allowed to drink because of her pregnancy and Razlov would not allow it even if it's okay.
