Chapter 1496: This is how mortals live
Before dawn, hundreds of people were banging and chatting around the most conspicuous ship on the dock of the military port. No matter how covert this behavior is, it cannot be completely covert. If it were in peacetime, the guards on the military port who fished for three days and dried nets for two days on weekdays probably wouldn't care. Anyway, the stormtroopers on the Orucello get up before dawn almost every day to train, and the guards will probably curse a few words such as "over-energetic hillbilly", "poor stick who knows the fate of a troublemaker", "mud legs who are not born to be happy".
However, didn't all kinds of super-sized boom events happen yesterday? And the whole of Elichar has entered a long period of martial law. There was also a small squad of gendarmes in the barracks of the garrison of the military port, all of them fierce and vicious, like a group of hyenas sniffing carrion and smelling the wind. If it weren't for the limited number of gendarmerie troops, the limited number of troops needed to maintain order in the more important departments and communication arteries of Elichar, I am afraid that even the defense of the military port would have to be directly taken over.
With so much going on, it makes sense that the garrison would be a little sensitive. They sent a petty officer with a few lazy GIs to inquire about it, and then they were immediately rebuffed by the insincere reason of "normal training".
Well, although the military port garrison is also subordinate to the Central Fleet Command, to put it bluntly, it is a group of miscellaneous security guards. Even the drastic commander of the "Goddess", in addition to taking office, carried out a major purge in the entire fleet, but he did not bother to meet the garrison of the military port. To put it bluntly, it is basically the lowest rank in the army's chain of contempt, and it is not even comparable to the orderly and the cook.
And the stormtroopers on the Orucello that directly belong to the headquarters are all arrogant and fierce, so they naturally don't take the garrison seriously.
The officers of the garrison touched their noses, retreated stupidly, and then reported it nonchalantly. By the time it reached the Central Fleet Command, it was already two hours later.
When he received this order, Vice Admiral Reeves, chief of staff of the Central Fleet, had just gotten up and came to the general's dining room for breakfast.
"Oh, since it's normal training, there's not much to say. Don't be nervous. "He said so.
His Excellency the Lieutenant General greeted all the middle and senior officers who were having breakfast and bringing their families to have breakfast, and walked slowly to the table where he usually sits. ”
"The normal training of the crew will become an anomaly when it comes to you?" The lieutenant general glanced at the other party lukewarmly: "Colonel Haines, as an elder, I must seriously persuade you to say a few words, of course it is a good thing to fulfill your duties!" But you can't always put on a look like everyone is a criminal, right? I understand the nature of your job and the difficulties you face, after all, being a law enforcement force is about doing the work of offending people. However, work belongs to work, and life belongs to life. Since you have come to the fleet headquarters, even if you are a colleague of everyone, you still need to think about interpersonal relationships once in a while. You know, you've only been here for half a day, and I've already received more than 10 complaints and three anonymous reports. ”
…… Who's going to have time to listen to you talk nonsense here? The Colonel probably wanted to say so. However, how dare a colonel who is not a magician, in the society of the Federation, blow up a stab at a magician general?
"Do you know what the report says? Say that you always molest the female secretary of the headquarters, and you don't flush it when you go to the toilet, and you stare at the butts of your male colleagues with lustful eyes every day. There was a lieutenant colonel who asked for sick leave because he couldn't stand your gaze and sexual harassment. ”
the groove can still sue like this, but this kind of operation is too much, hey!
"I understand that these are slanders. However, it will be chilling for you to always look at us veterans who fought for the country with this kind of look at suspects. Can you understand? Lieutenant Colonel! Lieutenant General Rivers suddenly lowered his voice. He is obviously an old bureaucrat in the military world who just eats and waits for death by virtue of seniority, but at this time, he inexplicably has a sense of oppression.
“…… I understand, thank you for your teaching! The colonel was sweating profusely.
The lieutenant general nodded teachably: "Well, this attitude is very good." Believe we will have a good start. So, disband. ”
"The subordinate understands......" The colonel took two steps away, and immediately realized that he was neither the other party's subordinate, but he was not just gathered to give a lecture, which one is the solution? He hurried back, his eyes already very unfriendly.
"Your Excellency, I ......"
At this time, Lieutenant General Reeves had already sat down and said to the non-commissioned officer next to him: "Jamie, give me soup, two fried fish, two slices of bacon, three sausages, three fried eggs, a bowl of grated chicken and mashed potatoes, and four slices of toast to pour honey, and then ......"
Do you have six stomachs like a cow? The colonel wanted to say this, but then realized that the other party was also a Shangguan, so he could only swallow it raw. So, he could only widen his eyes and hold his breath until His Excellency the Lieutenant General slowly ordered the meal he needed. Then, the other party said slowly: "By the way, what did you just say?" ”
"The lower official is saying that there seems to be something unusual on the side of the battleship Orucello."
"But as I have said, Colonel Ofresa and Lieutenant Colonel Kemir are excellent officers who have done their duty, and they have never relaxed their requirements for the training of their soldiers even before the current captain has arrived."
"They're stormtroopers. Excellency! Don't you always exercise in the arena of the military port on weekdays? Now it's a mess around the boat, it's too suspicious to look at it, right? ”
"Well, you know, as a stormtrooper on a ship, in addition to being able to charge into battle, some basic skills such as ship maintenance, operation and maintenance need to be mastered, and when necessary, you must also assume the duties of a soldier. That's all for today's training, right? ”
"But, but ......"
"What a stubborn man you are! Brother Haynes. Lieutenant General Reeves picked up a piece of toast coated with honey and looked at the other impatiently: "Okay, okay, if you have any doubts, send someone over to investigate." I will inform the garrison of the military port to cooperate. ”
"Thank you for your support, Your Excellency!" The colonel nodded hurriedly, thought for a while, and said, "Well, as of today, Colonel Ulysses and Major Moore haven't come back yet?" ”
"They are the adjutants of His Excellency the Admiral, and they are not under my control! There is no obligation to keep me informed of my daily whereabouts. Reeves said with a blank face: "If you really think there is something wrong with them, you can issue a wanted warrant from the gendarmerie headquarters." ”
Colonel Haynes was about to leave in a daze, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Hmph, an old bureaucrat who eats and waits for death is so rude!" Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the humiliation I received today, one day I must repay it! ”
"Colonel ......"
"Ga ......" Colonel Haynes trembled, shuddered, and hurriedly turned around and squeezed out a pitiful flattering smile: "Ge Ge Ge, Your Excellency ......"
"I don't know what you want to do, and I don't know what your bosses want to do. But as an elder, let me remind you. We mortals, we don't seek iron bones, we don't seek to bend rather than bend, but at least we don't dare to do things. Anyway, this is what mortals like us. ”
Colonel Haynes was stunned for a moment, gave a military salute, and then left the dining room dejectedly. Of course, outside the headquarters, in front of his own soldiers, he tried his best to squeeze out a rather calm smile, as if a college entrance examination candidate who knew that he couldn't even pass the three exams after completing the question, but had to remain calm and calm in front of his friends and parents, plus a smiling face.
"I can get into 98...... Ah no, let's go! Disarm all the sailors, stormtroopers, and engineers aboard the Orucello! The colonel said to his soldiers.
More than 100 black-clad gendarmes set off in a neat line, plus a thousand people from the garrison of the military port, the strength of the other side was at least four times that of the other side, and it should be possible to complete the suppression of the Orucello. Colonel Haynes naturally had this confidence, but after thinking about it, he still pulled the two heralds over.
"Hurry up and inform Chief Dandy Lane, I always feel that this is actually a bit of a problem......"
Of course, we must admit that after the transfer of General Halda Dandirayan, the gendarmerie units stationed in Elichar are actually quite good in combat effectiveness and alertness. Before the reinforcements from the city arrived, a small group of gendarmes stationed at the military port had already noticed that something was wrong.
"Go and make them stop!" The lieutenant of the military police who led the team said.
"Why? We've already asked, and they've all said it's normal training. The officer of the garrison said as a matter of course, and he was completely "I didn't make any mistakes, and I wasn't going to be promoted, anyway, I just ate the veterans who were waiting to die, and I just didn't want to sell the accounts of your elite bureaucratic officers", and by the way, he also picked his nose.
"Okay, you don't care, I'll take care of it!" The young gendarmerie officer, who was born in the elite professional group, was probably a very responsible person, glared at the other party viciously, and went with his own men.
Of course, although he is enthusiastic, he is not a fool, at least he knows how to bring all the equipment with his hands. Everyone had changed into heavy armor and shields to suppress large riots, and a third of them wore thunderstorm javelins.
"We don't have a battle mage here!" The lieutenant's deputy reminded.
"Uh......h Bring all of our Demon Breakers. Also, these steel golems that were distributed to us! ”
Constructing a puppet does not necessarily require the presence of an alchemist to use it, as long as you are the first to set up the password and action code with runes, you can still carry out a minimum of tactical actions.
Of course, the lieutenant also knew that such a small number of people might not really be able to complete the suppression of the Orucello. However, if he can hold out until the reinforcements arrive, he will become a hero of the Federation, and his future will be brighter from now on. Even if you die in battle, you will definitely become a hero, and in the future, schools, museums, and streets will be named after you, and the whole family will benefit from it!
With this in mind, about 100 members of the federal gendarmerie, plus five steel golems, rushed to the pier where the Olucello was moored. He saw the stormtroopers on the white boat who were busy, in good order; He also saw the naval officer commanding at the bow of the ship, a beautiful girl with a capable and intellectual nature.
"Huh? Major Seyleuke Moore? ”
The lieutenant knew this famous naval officer, and even had a little youthful longing for her. Of course, counting the time, when he was studying at the military academy, it was also when Seyliu and they made great contributions and were regarded by the federal government as a typical piece of propaganda, and it is understandable that they would have a certain amount of feelings.
The young lieutenant, who was full of enthusiasm and righteousness, quickly shook his head, overwhelmed that little bit of personal affection in his heart, and shouted: "Stop immediately, get off the ship and be checked!" ”
The crew paused, looked at the group of officers, and then at Sehireu, who was commanding on deck.
Sesileu stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the group of gendarmes condescendingly, looked up and down the lieutenant who had just opened his mouth to stop him with caring eyes, and then shifted his gaze and said to the people around him: "Keep working!" Then she came to the staircase of the deck and shouted inside, "Old man, the engine is almost warmed up, right?" ”
"One minute at most!" The dwarf's voice rang out from the cabin.
Well, for Seyrilu at this time, she really didn't bother to deal with the gendarmes over there. You know, on the other side of the sea of clouds not far away, the aristocratic combined fleet that has blocked Elichar seems to have discovered a certain anomaly, and there are three floating ships the size of cruisers slowly driving over.
The gendarmes on the pier apparently also saw the approaching cruisers, perhaps this gave them courage; Of course, Mr. Lieutenant was ignored by his own goddess, and it was probably one of the reasons why he was a little annoyed and angry, so his voice was a little louder, and there was an obvious threat: "Stop it immediately!" Get checked! Otherwise, it will be regarded as treason! ”
"Stop now, didn't you hear the order of Your Excellency the Lieutenant? You hillbillies! Someone yelled.
"Put down what you're holding! Do you need to shove a sword into your ass to understand what the superior is saying? Someone let out a rueful laugh.
At that moment, it didn't look like a confrontation between elite troops, but more like a scolding battle before the street scuffle between the two gangsters.
Most of the gendarmes were born as small citizens of Elichar, and although they were trained to be a little brave, they were still essentially the habits of a group of ruffians, most of the time more like street hooligans who could fight than righteous knights. In addition, as a small citizen of the capital region, these stormtroopers born as rural farmers are naturally full of superiority.
Of course, officials with a little military knowledge know very well that at least in this medieval era, the average morale of soldiers born as yeoman farmers was higher than that of small city citizens, and most of the so-called elite soldiers in a hundred battles came from this. However, this does not weaken the sense of superiority of the small citizens of the city.
Some of the stormtroopers put down their work and picked up their weapons. As long as there is an order from above, they will definitely rush up and cut people. Before that, however, the gendarme's attack began. As soon as the lieutenant gave the order, the ten powerful puppets of the team took the lead in the charge.
Then, only a loud "clang" was heard, as if a heavy hammer had been smashed on a steel plate. One of the puppets in the front was struck by the side of a large sword that suddenly appeared like a windmill arm. It was like a puppet being slapped on its body, and its body twisted and flew out to the side, and then "thumped" into another puppet next to it.
It was like two vehicles colliding head-on at super high speeds, and with a loud crash, they shattered to pieces on the spot.
