Chapter Thirty-Eight: Orders from the Top
Rear Admiral John is only in his thirties, and he definitely has the potential to be promoted to vice admiral in the navy, otherwise he would not have been sent abroad to become a general in the East China Sea, which is a very important experience for a general, and he may become the commander of the great route in a few years, just like the commander of the base in Nabaron.
Of course, it is possible to become a vice admiral in the Navy Headquarters, but the requirements for being a Vice Admiral in the Headquarters are higher, depending on the final strength.
The lieutenant general is also a high and low strength, and the lieutenant general who can comprehend the domineering spirit of the two colors is only the lowest.
The reason why the lieutenant generals of the headquarters are stronger is because they have to pursue pirates on the sea, and they may occasionally encounter more powerful pirates, so as the lieutenant general of the headquarters, the strength is stronger than the lieutenant general of the base, and the lieutenant general as an adjutant, the strength of these lieutenant generals may not be so high, they are because of the promotion of military merits, plus they have a two-color domineering.
Facing the Spurs, who are already in their sixties and their strength is declining, Major General John is confident that he will fight him for a while, so he will stay behind and give Keane them a break.
Especially when he was in the headquarters, he received an order from the top management that Keane's lives must not be threatened, and the headquarters has great expectations for Keane and them.
"You guys go quickly, it's safe to get to the sea, just wait for the support of the headquarters, I'll hold him back." Major General John looked at the spur with a knife in both hands and said loudly.
"Let's go." Sora pulled Keane and they began to retreat towards the sea.
Sora has no choice now, although he also wants to fight, but himself, who is not the opponent of the Spurs, may be killed under the siege of so many pirates.
Although he had comprehended the armed color domineering, his half-armed color domineering was no match for the opponent's numbers.
The purpose of the Spurs is now clear, the first is to kill Keane, and the second is to kill all the navy, so now all they have in front of them is to retreat and wait for reinforcements.
Keane wasn't sure if Dian Lov already knew what was happening on the island in New World, and perhaps a shocking battle was about to be revealed.
"Want to escape? A line of chopping. ”
The spur raised the famous sword Zongzheng in his hand high, and swung it in the direction of Keane, and a red sword qi flew towards Keane and them.
As the former first swordsman of the navy, how could the spur not fly the slash, this blow was very powerful, the snow on the ground was neatly separated, and the slash was directed towards Keane and them.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a figure stood in the way of the slash, and Lieutenant General John clenched the hilt of his sword with both hands, and blocked the knife with all his might, but his steps kept retreating, sinking into the snow, and only slowing down when he stepped on the ground.
However, in order to block this slash, he retreated several meters away, and the strength of the two was clearly visible.
"I have a little ability, it seems that I am also old, if it was ten years ago, I could have hacked you to death with this knife, it seems that the years are really unforgiving." Spurs sighed, and he could hear the unwillingness in his words, he was not defeated by the enemy, but by time.
"Zong Zheng hasn't drunk human blood for a long time, your blood should be very good, kill you first, and then kill the son of that guy from Ghost Yan."
"Don't think about it." Maj. Gen. John said.
Keane glanced back and was pulled away by the air, he also knew that the current battle was not something he could interfere with, so he could only escape now, only to get to the sea, with the advantage of the speed of the warship to get rid of the pursuit of the spurs, now the advantage is that the crystal ball is still there, and the spurs do not dare to go to sea rashly, so as long as he is at sea, he will be safe.
However, although the spurs did not chase them, the pirates did not intend to let Keane and them go, and the tavern owner also gave an order for all the pirates on the island to go after Keane.
Although they were very unhappy to be commanded by an old man, the thought of being able to get involved with Dean Love in the future made these guys' eyes red one by one, and they wanted to kill Keane now, and then give his head to Spurs.
None of them are blind and deaf, although Keane is the son of the admiral, but what is the current situation is their natural way, and no one will know that he killed Keane, and will only shift all the blame to the Spurs.
"These pieces of waste dare to chase me." Sora couldn't help but get angry when he saw the large group of pirates behind him, only to see that he would turn around and slam his fist on the body of a pirate.
His fist was plated with a layer of black domineering, although it was very unevenly distributed, it was also domineering.
This punch hit the pirate in the abdomen, and the pirate bent down and spit out a large amount of sour water in his mouth, and then threw it violently, and the pirate flew out and smashed on the pirate behind him, and a large group of pirates behind the pirate were pushed down.
"Brother Kong, get out of the way." Keane pulled Gatling out and pointed it at the pirates.
Several of the pirates in this group of pirates who had seen Keane's weapon had their faces changed, and their first reaction was to lie down and hide in the snow.
Keane pulled the bolt and took his position, or the massive recoil of the Gatling gun would throw him flying.
After a circle of bullets, Keane and they continued to retreat, and the pursuing pirates suffered a large number of casualties, you must know that the navy is holding guns, and the other party is holding knives, the pirates are not stunned, they will not rush to the front in vain to eat bullets, and after chasing for a distance, their speed began to slow down.
Keane and the others came to the beach and began to get on board.
All of them boarded the ship, and Gabriel commanded the sailors to set sail, and by the way, fired a few cannons at the nearby pirate ship, destroying their ship.
The opposing side also counterattacked, and the soldiers on the warship were hit by the opponent's artillery, and several were killed, and some were wounded.
As the warships moved, they began to move away from the island, and they didn't drive too far, Rear Admiral John was still on the island, and they were waiting for news from Rear Admiral John.
Keane stood next to Sora and looked at the island and asked, "Is Major General John okay?" ”
Kong shook his head and said: "I don't know, but Spurs are old after all, and his strength should have declined." ”
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me, if I hadn't been in charge." Keane said with his head down.
"Don't apologize, this matter is beyond our expectations, we have notified the headquarters when you went to the island, and the headquarters originally asked me to bring you back, but the world government suddenly came down and ordered them to do something against Dian Love, so the headquarters actually supported us, but we are just a temptation, and the real battlefield is not on our side." Sora said.
"The headquarters is going to do something to Deanlov?" Keane was surprised.
"Well, that guy has been exposed to things that the upper authorities don't want to know, so the World Government won't allow his existence." Sora said pointedly.
