Chapter Seventy-Three: Gunde's Breakthrough
After listening to Bode's words, Gunder paused for a moment, and suddenly let out a wail like a dying beast.
In this violent wail, the qi and blood that had already overflowed in Gunde's body suddenly boiled abnormally, and the boiling qi and blood even tore open the corners of Gunde's eyes, making him shed two tears of blood.
Bode was frightened and wanted to step forward to help Gunde, but was pulled by Bai Qi.
Under the gaze of the two of them, after a fierce boiling of qi and blood in Gunde's body, it suddenly retracted inward and turned into a rolling power of qi and blood.
Gunde's terrible howl lasted for half a minute, alarming the real Dawn, and the first mate Duncan and the second boatswain rushed into the captain's quarters in surprise.
Looking at the boiling power of Qi and Blood on Gunde's body, Bode was extremely excited, and Duncan and Lenka showed envious looks.
Half a minute's howl caused Gunder to drain all the air from his lungs and gasp like a dying beast.
Bai Qi stepped forward and patted Gunde on the shoulder fiercely, and said, "Gunde? Huo Sen, my disciple, you didn't disappoint me, I don't think you will disappoint your father either, you have now become a powerful Chosen Warrior, which undoubtedly shows that God has not given up on the Huo Sen family, and I believe that you will definitely be able to rebuild the Huo Sen family. ”
Gunde, who had been carried away by the fierce love, muttered and repeated Bai Qi's words, "...... I'm sure I'll be able to rebuild the Horsen family......"
"Yes, to rebuild the glory of the Horsen family, we must first wash away the shame of the Horsen family, so let's first use the head of Captain Sasson to commemorate the ancestors of the Horsen family, and use the blood of Captain Horseen to wash away the shame of the Horsen family."
"For the glory of the whole of humanity, I, Lucas, swear that even if I hunt down to the other end of the Arare Canyon, I will definitely behead the traitor of mankind, Sassen."
With Bai Qi's words, Gunde's eyes brightened, and his mind gradually cleared, "Right...... Am I Gunder? Horsen swears. Be sure to cut off Sassen's head! ”
Because when Gunde broke through the bottleneck just now, the qi and blood surge was too intense, although he successfully broke through, his body was also damaged to a certain extent. Bai Qi handed him a bottle of high-energy nutrient solution for training, and asked Bode to take him back to the cabin to rest.
After Gunder left, Bai Qi drove out the envious Duncan and the others, and only then did he tell Adrian and Barrian the news he had just gotten and told them to get ready. Perhaps when he returns to Leoni this time, he will be tasked with hunting down Captain Sassen.
The trio were speculating about the future of the mission when a sailor came in to report that General Hale had ordered all ships to return to Blackwater with his flagship.
Bai Qi thought about it for a while, and ordered the sailors to give the order to General Hall to leave the Third Fleet and return to Leoni City.
As a private fleet, Bai Qi has this right, but Admiral Hall also has the right to reject his request. Officially requisitioned his private fleet.
However, it is clear that General Hall did not want to offend Bai Qi and granted his request.
After separating from the Third Fleet, Bai Qi did not directly enter the secret passage of the water thieves who were close in front of him, even if many of the captured water thieves could lead the way, Bai Qi still did not plan to risk following the captives, leading through an unknown channel and entering the dangerous black water swamp.
The private fleet clung to the Blackwater Marsh and sailed north on the edge of Blackwater Lake for half a day, returning to the course that Gunde's father had discovered.
The private fleet returned to the city of Leony at noon on the third day.
After returning to the city. Bai Qi directly left the fleet and went to the temple alone, asking to see the archon.
Bai Qi's position in Leoni City at this time was no longer what it used to be, and he soon met the consul.
It's different from being summoned separately in the past. Today, the halls of the Senate are filled with dozens of senators from the city of Leony.
Except for those who had already gone on the expedition, the remaining senators of Leoni were here.
As Bai Qi walked into the main hall, the eyes of dozens of powerhouses were all focused on him.
His Excellency the Archon stood up from his wide seat, raised his arms towards Bai Qi, and said, "Let us salute the heroes!" ”
As the most martial city-state among the human city-states, Leoni attached great importance to military prowess. Most of the elders present, whether they were God-chosen warriors or great warriors, saluted Bai Qi sincerely.
However, among these patriarchs, there were four or five people, although they also saluted, but their movements were a little perfunctory, and the expressions on their faces were somewhat disdainful, but fortunately, these people were relatively low in the rankings and did not attract the attention of other patriarchs.
Needless to say, these perfunctory veterans are all space soldiers.
Although Bai Qi didn't know these people, it was not difficult to guess the identities of these people.
This is not the first time that the mission space of the Enlightening Star has appeared, even Bai Qi and they can get the basic information of this space, and those powerful teams will naturally not be an exception. Therefore, many powerful teams will rush to Leoni City as soon as they arrive, although it is the most difficult to obtain the status of a veteran here, but this is not a problem for those strong teams.
Bai Qi knew that even if he was ahead of everyone in the previous mission, it would undoubtedly be a fool's dream to let these powerful teams look at him with equal eyes.
In that case, he didn't bother to pay attention to these people.
Bai Qi humbly bowed deeply to the elders and saluted, and said, "I just took the risk and succeeded, and I am really very fortunate that I did not disrupt the battle plan of His Excellency the Consul. ”
"This is no fluke," said the archon, "and the fact that you were able to take Blackwater Castle before General Hall's army arrived in Blackwater City shows that you have insight into the battle plans of both me and Captain Tharson, and that you have the courage to put your assumptions into action." This qiē not only shows that you are a fearless warrior, but also have the potential to become a wise general, but what you lack is just a stage to display your talents. ”
After speaking, the consul pointed to one of the top positions among the senators and said, "Come, stand by Salva's side, you deserve this position." ”
Although the positions of the elders in the hall of the elders seem to be very scattered, in fact there are strict rules.
With the seat of the consul as the central axis, the senators stood in three opposite columns on both sides, among which the first column closest to the central axis was the most high-ranking senator, such as the generals of the first, second, and third legions of Leoni City, the commanders of the great samurai, the generals of the first, second, and third fleets and the great samurai, the great samurai commanders of the temple guards, and some high-ranking priests in the temple stood in these two columns.
There are very few Chosen Warriors and ordinary priests who have the honor of standing in these two rows.
And these few Chosen Warriors and Priests all represent the powerful families of Leoni.
Originally, according to Bai Qi's status, he could only stand in the last row like the leaders of those space soldier teams at most.
Just going from the top of the third row to the first row is already a goal that some indigenous families have been trying to achieve for generations, not to mention that the consul refers to the position at the front of the first row.
That Grand Samurai of Salva was the commander of the first brigade of the temple guards, and his status was only under a few generals and a few chief priests, so it could be said that if Bai Qi really stood there, he was already standing in the ranks of the decision-makers in this temple.
What made the leaders of the space team standing in the last row even more puzzled and jealous was that none of the indigenous elders objected to the archon's suggestion, but instead looked at Bai Qi with a kind smile.
For this scene, Bai Qi only thought a little to understand the reason, for the human race in this era, the entire race is in danger, the pressure of survival makes the pursuit of force by human beings has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and the respect for military merits has been incomprehensible, especially in the current time of this great enemy, a general with outstanding military achievements is far more precious than a family.
Maybe in normal times, the consul's mention would be opposed by some elders, but at this time, they want a few more people like Bai Qi to protect them, anyway, a strong man like Bai Qi who does not have a huge family behind him can completely integrate into the existing aristocratic circle through guò marriage.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi smiled slightly, bowed slightly to the elders again confidently, and walked to Salva's side.
Salva slammed Bai Qi's shoulder to welcome him, and Bai Qi bowed slightly to him.
After this little episode, the Senate Hall has been restored to the topic discussed earlier.
As a newcomer, of course Bai Qi would not rashly express his opinions, he just listened quietly.
It soon became clear to Bai Qi that everyone was discussing the dangers posed by Captain Sassen's defection to the troll tribe, and how to deal with it.
From everyone's discussion, Bai Qi knew that just last night, the watchtower on the defense line of the Arare River Valley observed that four pirate warships had crossed the human defense line and entered the troll-controlled zhì river basin.
The Suluo River is too wide to be blocked by the current human forces.
Everyone has a clear understanding of the danger of this matter, but there is no good way to deal with it.
The archon sat back in a wide chair, chin propped up with one hand, and tapped lightly on the other arm, frowning and lowering his eyes, as if listening and thinking.
Suddenly he looked up, and the patriarchs all stopped arguing and focused their eyes on him.
To everyone's surprise, this time the consul did not make a final decision as before, but turned his eyes to Bai Qi and asked, "Lucas, what do you think?" ”
Bai Qi thought for a while and said: "First of all, I want to say that everyone's understanding of the danger of Captain Sassen defecting to the enemy is not deep enough, what everyone sees is that the trolls have mastered the shipbuilding of no less than our humans, and the danger of this war, I want to tell everyone that once the trolls obtain the shipbuilding skills of our humans, maybe the survival of our humans will be mortally threatened!" ”
Bai Qi's words made the Yun Old Hall suddenly noisy.
The archon raised his hand and pressed it, making the hall quiet, and frowned and said, "Let's listen to what Lucas has to say first." ”
All eyes were on his face again. (To be continued.) )xh118R1052
