Chapter Seventy-Seven: Do You Regret It?
Atheus was actually worried about whether Dalmecia would be able to defeat the ghost hand Rhodes, but neither Rohan nor Hizer had come to support him until now, which obviously showed that in addition to Dalmesia, there were also Rohan and Hitzer on the battlefield there.
Ghost Hand Rhodes is not a sea thief with a bounty of 230 million, a lieutenant general who is much stronger than him plus two major generals who are slightly weaker than him, such a lineup is enough.
The only problem is on his side.
Although Lafitte's strength in the head-to-head battle is not much stronger than him, but the opponent uses strange means, which makes him physically exhausted a lot, and the injuries on his body are not light, and if he continues to fight, he is probably not Lafitte's opponent, and he can only delay time.
However, the battle over there is over, and as long as his side drags on it a little, it will be almost the same, and he can still deal with it in a short time.
Thinking so in his heart, he stared at Lafitte and continued to attack.
But.
Almost at this moment, a voice suddenly came.
"It's not over yet, Lafitte."
"I'm sorry, it's a little bit, Captain."
Lafitte turned her head and spoke slightly apologetically in the direction the voice came from.
Asceus's expression froze.
He stiffened his head little by little, and the moment he saw Rhodes's figure, he could no longer remain calm in his heart, and his eyes showed a look of disbelief.
How can it be!
How did Ghost Hand Rhodes end up here? Lieutenant General Dalmesia and RohanΓ© aren't they joining forces to besiege? How did you get him to come here?!
A terrible thought crossed his mind, but he couldn't believe it, but Rhodes was empty, and Dalmesia and Rohan didn't show up, and they didn't chase after him.
"I mean, you seem to be distracted."
Lafitte's voice interrupted his thoughts, and Lafitte, who appeared beside him at some point, stabbed him in the heart with the mahogany cane in his hand.
Atheus dodged in a panic, but it was too late, and although he avoided the heart point, he was still pierced through his chest by Lafitte's mahogany cane.
ββ¦β¦β
Atheus suddenly understood why the headquarters was so serious when he gave the order, and even said that he could postpone the attack and unite the forces of the two branches to encircle and suppress.
At that time, Dalmesia and a group of their major generals thought it was unnecessary, but now it seems that they miscalculated and misestimated the strength of the Ghost Hand Pirates.
Although there aren't many people in the Ghost Hand Pirates, and there are only three official crew members in total, their strength can't be measured by numbers alone!
"Goodbye."
Lafitte pulled out his cane, crooked it slightly, and sent it forward again, the cane pierced through Acius's heart with precision, and when he pulled it out again, Axius's body slowly fell to the ground.
Watching the last rear admiral fall to the ground, Rhodes showed a look of thought, maybe he could organize the domineering notes into a cultivation method and give it to Robin and Lafitte.
β¦β¦
Headquarters of the Navy.
In an office near the top floor, three lieutenant generals sat on chairs and sofas, one of them was Dauberman, and the other two were Flying Squirrel and Fire Mountain.
"Dalmeia's men have already found the Ghost Hand Pirates, and they should have handed it over by now...... Is it a bit unstable to let the G8 branch base be in charge of the Ghost Hand Pirates alone? β
Burning Mountain sat there and asked Dauberman on the other side.
Before Dauberman could answer, the flying squirrel, who had been closing his eyes, opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Dalmeia's strength is not far behind us, and this time it has mobilized the three major generals in the base, which is already the most prudent response." β
Dauberman said in a deep voice: "Other branch bases nearby, to reach the sea area under the responsibility of the G8 branch, it will take at least a month to travel, if you wait, the possibility of accidents will be greater, now you can only look at the G8 branch, I hope Dalmesia will not let us down." β
If it weren't for the long distance, Dauberman didn't mind going out to deal with Rhodes himself, but it would take at least two months for him to lead his army from his headquarters to find Rhodes.
Therefore, it is the best choice for the G8 branch to dispatch urgent troops and fight quickly.
Waiting.
The phone on the desk rang, and the expressions of the three lieutenant generals present instantly became serious, and Dauberman walked to the desk, picked up the microphone and answered.
"I'm Lieutenant General Dauberman in the headquarters."
ββ¦β¦β
Bang dang!
It was the sound of the microphone falling on the red oak table, colliding with the table, echoing in the quiet office.
The flying squirrel and the burning mountain were stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
ββ¦β¦β
Dauberman's fingers trembled slightly, and he didn't know whether it was anger or shock, the expression on his face was difficult to describe in words, and the whole person fell back a step.
Seeing this, the flying squirrel and the burning mountain couldn't guess that something was wrong, and their faces changed, and the flying squirrel stood up, walked over in one step, and took the microphone that fell on the table.
At the same time, Burning Mountain came to Dauberman's side, "Is it the situation of the Ghost Hand Pirates' extermination battle?" Did the encirclement fail? β
ββ¦β¦β
Dauberman seemed to use his best strength to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and walked to the sofa next to him, the whole person was in an extremely unstable state, "The encirclement failed, and Dalmesia and the three major generals were all killed. β
When he read out the information he had just heard in an extremely depressed and low tone, a trace of irrepressible emotion suddenly surged in his heart.
Why?
Why did things get to such an extent?
is obviously just a little person who didn't care at all at first, but he was unexpected again and again, out of control again and again, and now even he is beginning to be helpless.
Colonel Moby tells him that the situation is under control, Major General Bastiu tells him that he will soon be able to send GhostHand Rhodes to Justice Island for trial, Ghostspider tells him that he will be back soon, and Darmesia tells him that he will not give the GhostHand Pirates any chance......
Inexplicable.
He thought of what Rodz had said from the Western Sea.
"Although I'm just an insignificant little person now, maybe you don't care, but remember what I said."
"Your actions today will determine the future direction of this sea."
"I hope that one day in the future, you will not regret the order given today, because it is too late."
The words relayed by the major of the branch echoed in his ears, and he seemed to see Rhodes standing in front of him, stating this sentence with a calm face and a calm tone.
Do you regret it?
Dauberman was in a trance for a moment, but he was a lieutenant general after all, and the next moment he recovered, and his eyes became clear again.
Yes, I do regret that I didn't pay attention to it earlier, that I didn't send the Ghost Spider to the West Sea earlier, and that I didn't wipe out the Ghost Hand Pirates at sea earlier.
Dauberman...... We need to start a meeting. β
When the flying squirrel listened to the report on the other side of the phone bug, he hung up the phone bug and was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Dauberman, took a deep breath, and spoke with a serious expression.
Dauberman and the flying squirrel looked at each other, and finally nodded, and the fire mountain also sighed, and also nodded, "I'll report to the top." β
Generally speaking.
Only pirates of the level of the Seven Martial Seas are qualified to have the headquarters hold a separate meeting for them, but the current situation is that the G8 branch base is almost completely wiped out, and the reconstruction and reassignment of the G8 branch base alone involves too many problems, not to mention the follow-up treatment of the Ghost Hand Pirates.
