Extraordinary Sailing

It was in the morning and the weather in Nisk was fine.

Another good day for tourists.

However, in the garrison headquarters on the promontory on the north side of the mouth of the "Leyton River", the atmosphere is a bit dignified.

Compared with the extravagance of the banker, this is a poorly shabby meeting room.

Roughly polished rough stone walls and floors, in order to ensure the strength of the fortress, even the ceiling is extremely low, and there are a few narrow windows on the wall that only allow adults to lean out.

Even during the day, gas lamps had to be used for lighting.

A long patchwork table covered in green velvet and two rows of heavy wooden chairs on each side make up the conference room, which is as shabby as Major General Coverdale's office.

Oh, and at least the decorations on the walls are a little better today than in his office.

On the uneven wall hung a flag of the Kingdom of Taylor, a navy flag, and an alliance "Tulip Cross Flag" that was specially hung due to the complexity of the participants.

it's here.

The military meeting including the officers of the garrison of the country, the representatives of reinforcements from the six countries, and the knights of the church have been going on for a long time.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, information as of this morning.

None of the six fixed sea observation points from Nisk to the far sea border revealed any anomalies.

In addition, our two battleships and twelve cruisers are divided into four groups and conduct a full-line cruise every six days. The situation is the same.

News of 'Leyton Vale' and Huggins' next attack had obviously traveled far enough to be known by most of those who should have known.

Even we have a record of more than ten days in a row, and we have not seen a single pirate ship at sea. "

In the garrison headquarters, a colonel and adjutant responsible for responding to threats at sea finished his report and sat down again after saluting.

"Um!"

Sitting at the head of the conference table, Major General Coverdale, the commander of the garrison who was holding a command knife without anger, nodded slightly, and then looked at another officer sitting next to him, with heavy pressure in his light blue eyes.

"Colonel Wilde! It has been a while since your joint mobile force has been stationed in several big cities. I want to know what you have gained during this time?

In particular, the intelligence agency has identified Huggins' elite subordinates who are active in the cities along the line. How many of these rats have you found out? "

The colonel officer named Wilde immediately stood up when he heard the words, and after saluting the commander:

"Report Your Excellency!

We mobilized officers from the Kingdom Garrison and alliance reinforcements to form a mobile force consisting of 28 superhumans and 120 peak trainees.

They were divided into three groups. One group was stationed in the capital Brandenburg, one group was stationed in the city of wealth, the Golden Lion City, and the last group maneuvered along the ‘Leyton Valley’.

During this period of time, many new faces have poured into various cities, which is enough to prove that the eyes of many forces are concentrated here.

We ignored those who took the initiative to report and identify themselves. A few days ago, in cooperation with the city defense forces in various cities, we arrested a total of 23 pirates who showed their signs.

After interrogation, it was confirmed that the five people captured in the small towns of Como and Macerata were direct subordinates of the Pirate King. "

The colonel paused for a moment, with a look of shame on his face:

"However, no matter how we tortured them, we couldn't learn from them where the other people were hiding, including what their purpose for coming here this time was.

It can basically be determined that all the subordinates of the Pirate King use passive single-line communication, at least subjectively, they have no idea of ​​the purpose of their trip.

Moreover, the military's advisory group used all available methods such as hypnosis, divination, and psychics, but failed to get more information from them. "

Major General Coverdale frowned, obviously dissatisfied with their work.

As the highest-ranking military officer in the "Leyton Valley", after such a long time, I don't even know where the enemy's target is. I am really sorry for His Majesty's trust.

Forget about the maritime patrol troops that were not the focus, but the garrison officers and elite transcendental troops on land that I had high hopes for couldn't even catch the only clue of the "Pirate King's direct descendant pirates".

But the general knew that losing his temper was useless, so he continued to ask patiently, "What about the Golden Lion City and Brandenburg?"

As the largest and most important cities in their own jurisdiction, these two places must not be lost.

Even though the "Golden Lion City" has a third-rank church bishop and a great knight of the Netherland Banking Group sitting in the city all the year round. Count Mars, the consul of "Brandenburg", is himself a seasoned veteran knight and one of the guardians of the white swan crown of the Taylor royal family.

They are strong, far stronger than the reinforcements.

Carefully looking at the general's face, Colonel Wilde bit the bullet and said:

"The Earl of Mars allowed us to enter the city to station, and also sent his own guards to cooperate with our investigation, but there is no gain for the time being.

In addition, the people of the Netherlands Bank Group said that they have the ability to protect themselves and their customers' property, and we are not allowed to disturb the peace of the city and citizens.

Moreover, Bishop Jasper of the Golden Dome Cathedral also assisted them. Although we were stationed there, it was difficult to carry out the investigation work because of their non-cooperation. "

boom--

Hearing the feedback from "Golden Lion City", Major General Coverdale was so angry that he slammed the command knife in his hand.

Even though he knew that the Golden Lion City, an alternative "country within a country", was not easy to deal with, but he was still playing this trick at this juncture when he might be attacked by the Pirate King! Aren't they afraid of death?

However, those big bankers don't even give the king face, let alone take himself as the commander of the garrison seriously.

After being secretly annoyed for a while, the major general was worth kicking his eyes, and spit out two words:

"inability!"

I just don't know who the word general refers to.

At this time, I heard a very small voice in the conference room, but most of the people present here have the extraordinary level above the official knight, so they still heard that sentence very clearly.

"How can we blame us for not catching a big fish? I don't know if there are ghosts covering these mice?"

The officers attending the meeting easily found the source of the sound, and all looked at it, including Captain Aiwen, who was sitting in the corner of the conference room and only brought his ears.

Sitting in the position of the Joint Mobile Force, holding a long sword with a black hilt and black scabbard, a young officer with ice blue short hair. Under the eyes of everyone, he was stalking his neck, as if he didn't care that his words would be heard by others.

The major general who was already unhappy raised his eyes to see this thorn, and even made his face look long.

"Mr. Thomas Gregory! Do you suspect that there are Hudgens's insiders in the cities along our line?"

As the second place in the "Navy Nova", I originally arranged for him to join the sea cruise team with the first place Ivan Garriott and the third place Bertram Solomon.

It seems to be important, and there will not be too much risk. Didn’t you see that even the pirates are gone at sea now?

However, maybe because he felt that his "Snow Lake" was just a Tier 5 cruiser, and he didn't want to be inferior to the other two "Navy Nova" who were driving battleships, this Captain Thomas directly abandoned the ship and went ashore to join the mobile force. up.

it's good now.

The mobile unit he was in did not perform well, and he dared to find reasons to shirk responsibility again.

Since he directly disobeyed his own arrangements when he first came to report, Major General Coverdale has already "preconceived" his character, and he doesn't like it if he is flamboyant, impetuous, and proud!

Hearing the general's questioning, Thomas insisted on his point of view without showing any weakness:

"It's not just a suspicion. I think the current situation is difficult to explain with common sense. If there is not enough internal support, it is impossible for a large number of elite pirates to hide so covertly."

The general smiled instead of anger, and asked again:

"Huh, common sense?

Do you know how much energy is needed to hide hundreds of thousands of pirates in cities along the route? Do you know that the entire Tulip Alliance and the pirates are considered as guilty of the same crime as the pirates, and what will happen to them?

What kind of big power in the "Leyton Valley" would take such a risk, abandon everything they had in Tulip, and follow a great pirate who could only drift on the sea all the way to darkness? "

Seeing that Thomas was unconvinced and wanted to argue again, the general raised his hand to stop his words:

"That's good, the situation you mentioned is not completely impossible.

I assigned you an independent intelligence team, how about you take charge of finding out the insider behind the scenes?

You can even choose the personnel of the intelligence department in the garrison at will. We are short on time and will give you at most half a month. If you can't find them, you can obediently return to your "Snow Lake" and go to sea to perform cruise missions! "

clatter——

Thomas pushed away the chair and stood up suddenly, the general's words hit his chest.

Consciously unable to display his talents, he immediately agreed loudly:

"No problem, Your Excellency Commander! These days, I am familiar enough with the Layton Valley. Just give me an assistant. My crew is my team."

Said that he was pretending to scan the officers in the meeting room, and finally settled on a person he had been paying special attention to since entering the meeting room.

"Hey hey, what did I say, being targeted by a troublesome guy, what should come is finally here."

When Aiwen heard Bertram Solomon's gloating laughter sitting next to him.

He raised his head to meet the gaze Thomas was looking at, and naturally saw the pride in his eyes, and heard Thomas say lightly:

"Your Excellency, Commander, why not let Mr. Irwin Garriott be my deputy! The 'Navy Nova' who belong to this issue just took this opportunity to learn from each other."
