Chapter 48: Return and Recuperation (2)
Although the yellow ape and the others returned first, the speed of Lei's flight in the air was superior. As a result, before the yellow apes and them, Lei and his party arrived at Marin Fando first.
Under the astonished eyes of a group of patrolling soldiers, Ray fell into the harbor with the broken warship in his arms.
"Whew! It's finally back! Owen relaxed at the familiar sight and stretched hard. Of course, on the way back he had already changed into a spare military uniform.
"Let's go! You go back to your dorm first, I still have something to deal with. Commanding the soldiers to lower the ladder, Ray beckoned everyone. After resting all the way, there was no trace of tiredness on Lei's face.
After waving goodbye, only Ray and Owen were left on deck. Compared to the other four who were not in military regulations, Owen knew the consequences of blocking the warship on its mission, so he looked at him worriedly after hearing that Ray was going to handle things alone.
"You should go back first! Rest assured, it's just a routine task report. Smiling easily at Owen, Ray patted him on the shoulder and headed for the fortress.
Looking at Lei's distant back, the word justice was imprinted on Owen's heart more clearly than before.
......
Walking step by step on the training ground, Lei's relaxed smile gradually solidified, and the corners of his mouth drooped.
"It's over, that old man in the Warring States has to kill me." During the year of concentrating on research, Lei Hui went to the Warring States from time to time to discuss the research of meteorological weapons. It doesn't matter if he has time or not, Ray has time anyway.
It was also during this year that Ray got to know Sengoku more thoroughly, and saw his true nature under his disguised exterior. Ray actually suspects that Sengoku may have been taken by Karp, because sometimes Ray can often "see" Sengoku eating senbei with a look of ecstasy when he is practicing seeing and smelling. And the teasing behavior that Sengoku showed from time to time also made Lei change his opinion of him.
So Lei is actually not worried that the Warring States will punish him, although it is inevitable to be scolded, but it will not affect anything. What Ray is really worried about is the attitude of the world government, and he is not sure whether the foolish and loyal Warring States will meticulously carry out the orders from above.
Especially in this outing, he saw some clues from the incident in the capital of seven waters. The world government does not seem to be as glamorous as it seems, and the hidden darkness in it triggers these disasters by only touching a little.
"World government, five old stars, what are you hiding?" Thinking about it in his head, Ray knocked on the door of the Sengoku office.
"Come in!"
Sengoku's deep voice dragged Ray out of his head. Exactly how the world government is doing at the moment is secondary, and the first thing he needs to face is the punishment that Sengoku may come into.
Swallowing and foaming, Ray gritted his teeth and opened the wooden door of the Japanese style.
Salute, report, all in one go. Ray stared into Sengoku's eyes, waiting for him to speak.
"You called me before, and I said I had something to talk about in my office when I came back. That's because I was discussing your punishment with the Five Old Stars at the time, so I wanted to wait for you to come back and tell you in person. Looking at Lei's fearless eyes, Sengoku said slowly.
His pupils shrank, and he nodded without changing his color.
"I'll just say it bluntly: you made a big mistake this time, and your behavior of blocking the demon slaying order is a serious violation of military regulations, so you will be removed from your position and rank, and you will be sent to the city to be punished." Speaking of this, the voice of the Warring States suddenly became heavier.
To the surprise of the Warring States, Lei's face still did not change at all, as if he had lost a hair.
"However, under my explanation, the Five Old Stars know that the mission has failed before the start of the Demon Slaying Order, and you have saved a city of great value, so I do not intend to hold you responsible for sabotaging this operation." Sengoku, who wanted to play tricks on the thunder, said the follow-up in disappointment.
"Oh!" Ray heard this and a word popped out of his mouth.
"However, after the merits and demerits are offset, the five old stars ask to transfer you to the Chambord Islands to be on duty, do you understand?" Looking at Lei's unfluctuating face, the roots of the teeth of the Warring States Qi itched.
"Oh!" Ray continued to jump.
After such a big incident, Lei was still so calm, which made the Warring States give birth to a nameless fire.
"Get out of here. Remember, go to the Chambord Islands in three days to take over. Waving his hand to let Ray go, Sengoku didn't want to see this face again.
"By the way, Marshal of the Warring States, I remember that the guards of the Chambord Islands must be at least a general! Is it okay for me to be a colonel? Before leaving the door, Ray suddenly remembered the question, and finally a few more words came out of his mouth.
"I said yes. You hurry home, your dad is still waiting for you to come home for dinner. As he spoke, Sengoku laughed angrily.
"Thank you, Marshal, I'll take my leave first!" Hehehe, Lei finally relieved himself and said goodbye to the Warring States.
In fact, Lei Du was almost suppressed by Sengoku just now, but when Lei noticed that there were still some immortal shellfish scum left on Sengoku's table, he was relieved. That's what Sengoku only eats when he's in a good mood, and if he hadn't learned about Sengoku, Lei might have really lost his temper.
When Lei left happily, the smile on Sengoku's face turned to worry.
"Ray, do you really know what this order means?"
......
In the warship port, the yellow ape and others finally returned.
"This guy Lei actually came back before us, and it's really a convenient ability!" Seeing the broken warship moored at the port, Huoshan sighed.
The last thing he envied was when he first met the pheasant, the ability to act recklessly on the sea is something almost every navy wants.
"Leave him alone, let's go get the punishment first! I don't know what the marshal of the Warring States will do. Storobery said worriedly.
"Yo yo! It's a coward. With a crooked mouth, the yellow ape laughed comically and mocked, and left the deck first.
"Hey!" With a sigh, the lieutenant generals walked towards the fortress together.
The soldier standing guard rubbed his eyes and muttered suspiciously, "Strange, why do their backs look so much like the colonel before?" ”
......
Back at home, Ray took off the cloak he had always draped behind his back and hung it on the wall.
"I'm back!" He shouted at the rattling kitchen and sat down on the couch with a thunderous click. This time he was tired from going out, even if he recovered physically quickly, but the psychological exhaustion was not so easy to recover.
"Hurry up and wash your hands, I'll talk to you about something in a moment." With a plate of dishes, Zefa walked out of the kitchen.
"Yes! Be! Be! In desperation, Ray had no choice but to wash his hands. When he came out, Zefa had already filled the table, sat next to him and started to eat.
Seeing Ray sit down in the chair, Zefa asked seemingly casually, "How is it?" Do you have any thoughts on going to Chambord to be on duty? ”
