Chapter 160: Departure
After the order to assemble was given, the Navy's highly efficient fighting machine was put into operation. Even if they are a ragtag army in the navy, they dare not be careless in such a major event as the attack on the navy, and carelessness in the battle between life and death means death.
Fang Xing came to the port, at this moment the navy is ready to go, if there is any fly in the ointment, it is that many navies seem nervous, even if they have experienced more than one battle, but the battle is still a battle after all, it is too severe for them, not to mention the news that the navy has been wiped out before.
"Boy Fang Xing, what happened?" Tom, who works at the port, saw this situation and knew that something was happening, so he asked.
"The warship of the Navy going out on patrol was attacked."
"Is that the case again?" Tom sighed calmly.
In the era of pirates that arose after Roger's death, the navy could no longer be controlled with the influx of more and more people. When he lived on Shipwreck Island, he had often heard of pirates attacking merchant ships in the Water Capital, and occasionally pirates repelling the navy. So not surprised by this kind of thing.
"How's it going?"
"I don't know, but the Navy's warships were cut off."
"Cut off?" Tom was surprised, "Then the enemy's strength should not be low, I have checked the structure of the navy warships in the past few days, and it is indeed a good work." The outer layer of the planks is inlaid with steel smelted from a special material, and there is nothing to say about the quality and material, and it is impossible to cut off such a ship with an ordinary slash. ”
"I know that, but the enemy is right next to Pukki Island, and we can't sit idly by, given the harm to the local population and the importance of Pukki Island." Fang Xingdao, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, this is also the helplessness of the navy.
What Tom said, Fang Xing could understand.
Navy warships are different from ordinary ships, the wood is hard, and at the same time, the outer layer is plated with steel, and ordinary sword qi slash hits on it have no effect. Even he needed to use enough ability to strengthen his sword qi before he could do it.
In many cases, even if the Navy knows that place is a trap, the Navy still has to go there. Who said that pirates would run away when they encountered the navy, a few pirates who were confident in their own strength or brutal would instead meet the navy on the island, and the navy was ambushed and attacked by pirates countless times for this.
"Then take me." Tom said. "Haha, although my strength is average, if I am in the sea, I believe it can still work."
"That couldn't be better." Fang Xing nodded in agreement.
So so? Fang Xing didn't think so, he could throw the ship with one hand, and his strength was not lower than anyone else's, even compared to the Giant Clan. Moreover, Tom is a fish-man, born to swim in the sea, and this strength can be said to be a nightmare for any enemy in the sea when this strength reaches the water.
"Colonel Fang Xing, the navy in the base has been assembled."
A navy officer saw Fang Xing coming and immediately rushed over to report.
Considering that the enemy was different from the previous ones, he carefully gathered the remaining combat strength within the navy, and dispatched the remaining three warships, and then prepared for this. Even Livai and Yuraiya in the base did not sit in the office, and the patrol navy occupied almost a quarter of the base's strength, so there was no news, this is not a trivial matter, and they cannot be careless.
The navy was waiting for an order to set out from Fang Xing, and although this was already an almost inevitable order, and it was only a formal difference between saying and not saying, for a well-disciplined navy, it was forbidden to attack without an order.
I didn't think about it...
"Leave one warship, dismiss the remaining two warships and other navies, just bring a few people who are responsible for driving the ship, and the others should do whatever they want."
Without waiting for the Navy soldiers to react, a Navy officer in a general's uniform on the side asked first, "Colonel Fang Xing, you... Say what? ”
He questioned in disbelief: "Now the situation is urgent! And isn't it the assembly order you issued? ”
Livai didn't stand on Fang Xing's side this time, "Colonel Fang Xing, the enemy this time should not be underestimated, we need to defeat them with the strongest force." ”
"Go back too." Fang Xing said to these naval officers at the rank of colonel. Then, without waiting for them to react, he said in an unquestionable tone, "What's the use of bringing so many people because it's not to be underestimated?" If the enemy is really that strong, no matter how many naval soldiers he brings, it will not help. ”
Even the elite navy of the Navy Headquarters cannot be effective in the face of powerful pirates, and how can these motley navies face an enemy who can cut through warships.
"Then you should take us there, at least we still have some strength, and we can still do things like involving the enemy."
The corners of Fang Xing's mouth twitched, although this group of navies was a little more powerful than ordinary navies, but in essence, they were still weak in his eyes. If the enemy was able to cut through the warship, then these people would have only added to the chaos in the past.
Seeing that there were still people among them who wanted to speak, Fang Xing interrupted first: "Needless to say, I have decided, let's set off after arranging it quickly." ”
However, this statement is not acceptable to everyone, and when the life and death of other soldiers are unknown, shouldn't all troops be dispatched to rescue them? Are they wrong? They couldn't understand Fang Xing's thoughts.
At this time, Yuraiya proposed: "It is better to let Colonel Fang Xing go first, we will follow closely, if the enemy cannot be dealt with, we can also rescue in time, if the enemy is weak, we can take advantage of the victory to pursue." ”
"This plan proposed by Lieutenant Colonel Yuraiya can not only confirm the strength and weakness of the enemy first, but also adapt to the situation."
"Indeed, it's a good idea, and I agree with it."
Even Levai, who has always been an old man, agreed, "This is indeed the safest way, even if you find the navy in distress, you can rescue it in time, the only disadvantage is that Colonel Fang Xing may be in danger, but I believe in Colonel Fang Xing's ability." ”
In Yuraia, after Livay agreed, almost all the navies, whether they followed the trend or their own ideas, chose to agree.
Fang Xing glanced at Yuraiya, who had made this proposal, with a slight meaning, and then turned back and said, "Let's go." ”
He did not stalemate on this issue, and since it was a decision made by a group of people, he was not ready to dismantle the stage. And if you consider it from one side, it is indeed a good way, unless the enemy is a brutal and powerful man like Doflamingo, otherwise they will not encounter any danger.
Although the pirates will meet the navy, it does not mean that they will pursue, and the vast majority of pirates, even if they are stronger than the navy, will not be idle and bored to chase the navy. First, it's thankless. Second, the impact of this incident is too bad and may attract a more powerful navy to pursue it.
