Chapter 22: Rhode Island (Happy Chinese New Year's Eve) (7400 words) (revision)

"Brigadier Perry, this is the current situation in Rhode Island."

In the office, the blonde man respectfully handed over a document.

In front of him sat a silver-haired man dressed in the military uniform of the Aleman Domain.

His features were straight, his face was grim, and his face had a scar left by something unknown.

All kinds of interweaving make this Brigadier General Perry seem very unkind.

Brigadier Perry, however, smiled kindly.

He took the document and only glanced at it, as if he had it in mind:

"It's hard work, Polis, since Rhode Island was disrupted by the Swas, and retreated from a place of near belonging to a land of chaos, and our work in this neighborhood has become difficult.

"Over the years, the role of the island has gradually worked, and the credit for the seven cities of Luo Island is inseparable from you.

"After this inspection and mission is over, I should ask the headquarters for your credit."

Brigadier General Perry said.

His words made Polis feel excited, but it was as usual on the surface.

Many years ago, our side attacked the border of China, Hekarim and Bahamut.

As a result, Hekarim, outside Xishan City, was completely destroyed in his work in the area of China, and Bahamut was defeated from the status of the border land to the land of chaos.

But the move didn't come without a price.

The madmen of Huayu are in such a situation, and they can still draw their strength to return the color...

The most immediate result is that here, Rhodes Island, off the coast of Bahamut, suffers heavy reprisals.

This place once belonged to the Aleman Domain, but after that year, Rhodes Island also became a chaotic place, like Bahamut, with the seven cities on the island each based on their own bases, and multiple foreign regions secretly intervened to sabotage, along with the Aleman Domain farther away, and several border places along the mainland coast, were all attacked in the same way.

This has also led to the airspace of the route, the Aleman domain has fallen into an embarrassing situation equal to that of Huayu.

The originally good situation has even gone further, but it has become nonsense, and even the overseas situation is worse than in the past, and the infiltration and control of Bahamut has to be much more cautious.

After all, although there are unconventional ways to allow some strong people to cross to Bahamut.

But if it is found, the loss will be very heavy, and it is not a critical moment, and it is not allowed to open lightly.

And Tapolis, for which he came, to this day.

As for what the job is, it couldn't be more obvious.

One is to "repair" the Aleman Domain's control over the chaotic land of Rhodes.

Second, it will rebuild a stable overseas transit in the midst of chaos and provide support for the development of work in various places.

Thirdly, this place is the closest to Bahamut, and even a small stronghold and small transit station can provide considerable support for the work there, as well as increase the confidence of those uncertain forces.

It's a chore.

If you do a good job and only report and commend you, you will be promoted to a higher rank of firefighters, and there is a high probability that you will be thrown elsewhere to continue your work.

And if you don't do it well, it's a question of whether you can retire safely.

And the affirmation given by Brigadier General Perry, who arrived, was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Polis.

This is a powerful person!

The other party belongs to the Aleman domain, the deputy director of the intelligence management bureau of the military department.

Really, it is the boss who is in charge of these overseas coolies.

In the middle of Polis's imagination of the future, Brigadier Perry pulled him back from his fugue with a word.

"Polis, how is Bahamut doing?" Perry asked.

"Back to Brigadier General Perry, it's business as usual." Polis didn't think about it.

"Oh." Perry snorted.

Polis instantly hung a layer of sweat on his back, his brain was hot, and his blood was surging.

He felt like he was really a ***, and he actually made this kind of reply!

What the is business as usual...

Everything is as usual, why are people coming to this hellish place?

Isn't she fragrant with the coffee and secretary in the domain?

In an instant, Polis regained his agility and instantly added:

"But it's not good, Brigadier General!"

He tried to make himself appear calm, at least to look.

can't show that he has lost his words and hurriedly remedies.

That's really cool.

Sure enough, Polis's remedy piqued Perry's interest.

Brigadier Perry still smiled, and asked in the same tone as usual:

"What's the wrong way?"

Polis's mind was racing, and he complained in his heart.

He's just the head of Rhode Island ...

It's not from Bahamut, and you're not telling me it's good...

I know the details——?

But when the words come to the mouth, you can't say that, maybe you will be separated.

Maybe it's the commonality of these people involved, or they've been on the border of China for a long time...

Polis inspires "Traditional Arts" to reply:

"Brigadier General, you also know those forces in Bahamut.

"First of all, the separated Kalsa family, who have come closer to us again, are like a bunch of gutter vampires, the grass on the walls, always swaying in the wind.

"On the surface, they have a clear relationship with us, but the situation in the Chaotic Lands, the distance from our jurisdiction, and the proximity to the Chinese region, the contribution they can make and the support we give have long been out of balance.

"Those who are facing us are actually more or less ambiguous with the Chinese Domain, which is naturally correct from their standpoint, but it is a hidden betrayal to our Aleman Domain, which is disliked by the Sect, not to mention that the rest of the forces of Bahamut are also very troublesome.

"Although I am a member of Rhode Island, I can know more or less about the difficulties of Bahamut because of my frequent dealings with Bahamut, but personally, I have wanted to contact the brother department there more than once, and jointly apply to the brigadier general to report to you, and ask for re-approval of the treatment of Bahamut.

"Rhode Island, as a key position of the bridge node, is in ruins, and we are under a lot of pressure, most of the resources and transshipment forces are used in Bahamut, and every time I get a relevant briefing, I feel that it is a stone in the sea, which objectively hinders the progress of Rhode Island and other places."

[In view of the general environment,

Polis said quickly.

On the surface, he seemed to be concerned about his surroundings.

In fact, it is indeed openly and covertly stepped on.

It was the person in charge of Bahamut who objectively told about his difficulties.

Too far from the Aleman domain, too close to the Chinese domain, is painful for these people.

Even if you have many advantages and advantages, you need to control everything in fear every day.

And Polis—

It is also the head of Bahamut who stepped on.

It is implied that even he, an outsider, can see the situation clearly, and it is impossible for the person in charge of Bahamut not to know, after all, if that person does not understand the situation, he will die on the street at some point.

So over the years, why is it difficult to make gains except in the early stage?

It's very simple, the person in charge over there has too much heart.

I want to do this alone, ask for others, and achieve it for myself.

At least Polis's words have taken out his position and problems.

At this point, Brigadier General Perry bowed his head slowly, but did not make any statement.

But Polis was relieved.

He couldn't be right.

Obviously, Brigadier Perry's sudden visit is probably to make adjustments to the Bahamut side.

It is also possible ......

"Something went wrong over there?" Polis was instantly alert.

This did not allow him to be vigilant and think like this.

If it's Ba

If Hamt has a problem, and even goes a little bit to be re-controlled by the forces of Huayu, then his Rhode Island will be next, which is a relationship of lip and tooth coldness, and it is also an inevitable ending.

In the past, Rhode Island was the most advanced extension of the Aleman Domain, but the two sides experienced these things, and basically as long as they had the opportunity, they would choose to punch the one who did not tear the skin of the face, but the skin of the hand.

For the people of Huayu, you Aleman can disgust my Bahamut, so I Huayu rub my hands and come to your Rhode Island to make trouble, isn't it beautiful?

Thinking of this, Polis couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety in his heart.

But he didn't dare to ask directly, so he could only wait for the brigadier general's arrangement, and think about how to get out of the ground.

"Polis, you're forty-two?" Brigadier General Perry asked.

"Yes, Mr. Perry." Polis was stunned for a moment, and then replied.

Polis took advantage of the situation, Brigadier Perry had short silver hair and a vicissitudes of voice, obviously not young, but it seemed that the wind and frost of age had not brought him many traces.

On the other hand, I think back to myself in the mirror when I washed up in the morning recently, this age has been reduced to one with eight yuan, and there are redundant four taels of flesh on my cheeks.

At this time, Brigadier General Perry said again:

"When I'm done with that matter, you can follow me.

"I don't think it will be too long, it's all up to you."

And Polis, on the other hand, also understood instantly.

He suppressed complicated and suspicious emotions, but said in a fair and upright manner:

"Mr. Perry, the situation in Rhode Island is complicated, and the undercurrent is surging, although it is not as good as Bahamut and other places, but it is also a danger, if I can follow you, it means that there will be a lot of time to grasp this place, which is contrary to my mission, in this case, I hope that Mr. Perry, you can arrange for a competent person to come and take over!"

What did Polis know, and what did he wonder?

He understood Perry's affirmation, which was a change from Bahamut's side.

But what Polis was suspicious was a deeper signal.

Surprisingly, the other party was willing to accept him and enter Perry's faction.

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for someone like him who has no background.

But what he doubts is also the acceptance of the other party.

Want to follow him Perry?

No problem –

Let go of Rhode Island's location first and give it to his people.

It was a swap and a signal for Brigadier Perry to rein in in the forces of the Bahamut side, and Polis was not sure if the other side was drawing a pie, and when the opportunity came to his lips, he could hardly refuse.

Or, rather, dare not refuse.

So he had these words, and those replies could be said to be useless nonsense throughout.

The only two key points are to propose that it is not easy for Rhode Island to do it now, you Perry can't abandon me to paint a big pie, and the last sentence is even more direct point, if everything goes well, then Rhode Island's recovery credit, Polis is willing to give you a more core direct line, in exchange for a vote.

Brigadier General Perry didn't know if he understood the other party's inner struggle, but he still said in the same tone:

"Well, I'll arrange for someone to come over and have him follow you."

His words made Polis's hanging heart drop most of it.

The other party did not directly seize power, but sent people to gradually accept it, which at least proves that Perry is willing to let him communicate with his descendants and make friends with each other, which is a good start.

At this time, Perry leaned back and said in an unclear tone:

"It's January, and there's a festival in Huayu?"

Seeing this, Polis said respectfully:

"Yes, sir, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year."

"Oh." Perry nodded, and then continued:

"About two months ago, I received information that the old guy Xue Xie had officially put the Karsa family, the daughter of the former orthodox head of the family, a girl named Elsa, in front of the stage, apparently there was a new idea and action for Bahamut, who should be in the city of Hekarim at the moment

"Although there is still no movement after such a long time, I have to guard against it, after all, it is the person arranged by Xue Xie, his ability is needless to say, and the Rhode Island side must also strengthen inspections, whether it is the personnel and goods of other forces, or ours, you have to make a thorough investigation, and I will go to Bahamut to observe the situation."

Perry said, and immediately got up, as if ready to go straight away.

And his words also shocked Polis's heart, and he secretly said:

"Yes, Mr. Commodore General, my subordinates will definitely do it themselves, even if it is a town or port that is not under my jurisdiction, I will have people go to observe it, and I will also make a record of the things that are diverted to any place to make sure that no one is missed,!"

Seeing Polis's attitude and determination, Perry was satisfied:

"Go and prepare a man with a lot of blood to come, under thirty."

Hearing this, Polis hurried to be.

It didn't take long.

His subordinate pressed a man with his body and mouth and eyes entangled in and walked in, and immediately retreated.

Polis retreated to the side of the room, as if he knew what the other was going to do.

Brigadier Perry walked forward and came to the man.

He clapped his hands together, raised and lowered, and his rough palms made a sound like sandpaper rubbing.

Perry's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly:

"Take me to Bahamut."

Suddenly, a disc disc appeared behind him, circling endlessly.

A nameless voice sounded from it:

"He's mine in return."

Perry replied, "He's yours."

The next moment, as if in terrible pain, the man in restraint let out a muffled whimper, which began to fly from his skin like ashes, followed by his muscles, bones, and in less than five breaths, the unknown man dissipated into the world, dead no more.

Polis, who was on the side, looked at this scene and showed a little envy.

This is one of the core legacies of the Aleman Domain: the contract system.

The composition of the contract system comes from some inexplicable existences, and most of these beings are born in secret hiding, and they sign contracts with the Alemanis, like the mysterious system that exists all over the world, in exchange for power.

But unlike mystical abilities, whether it is a technique, a ritual, a secret ritual, or a secret ritual, their effects are relative, and they get as much as they give, but the contract system is not, and sometimes these beings will charge a price for various reasons, but refuse to perform the contract.

This also makes this inheritance of the Aleman domain from time to time be ridiculed by other domains.

However, one thing has to be admitted, this contract system is very strong.

Both the ability to sustain combat and the training of combatants are very light.

Compared to the occult system, it takes a lot of time to learn a technique, and the Alemanian people only need to sign a contract with those beings to possess the power.

With a certain amount of combat training, you can become a qualified warrior in the blink of an eye, if it weren't for those existences, many of them are a little picky, and the Aleman Domain may have already unified the current situation.

After all, most of the normal mystical systems will gain the negative state of their own bodies, which also creates the main theme of the current battle, and they are always well-prepared and fast, accurate, and ruthless, but the Aleman people do not have so many scruples in this regard.

Unless there is a need for higher power, or something unexpected, everything is settled.

Not to mention the fact that there are many contracts, like Brigadier Perry, at the expense of others.

And the contract ability used by Perry is rumored to be a contract with a space demon.

In terms of this ability in the Aleman Domain, the number of palms that can be obtained is not more than two palms, and this mobility ability alone is enough to make him an important core member, not to mention that Brigadier Perry also has many contracts, and even has the ability to operate.

In the middle of Polis's thoughts, he saw a huge mouth appear out of thin air where the man had disappeared.

The great mouth that suddenly appeared was bigger and wider than the door, and its tongue was like a carpet, and it was in its mouth above and below

The teeth were like blades and ornaments, and Brigadier General Perry glanced at Polis before stepping forward, and then he entered completely, and the mouth slowly closed and disappeared.

When Brigadier Perry left, Polis breathed a sigh of relief.

The devil knows how much pressure he has been under in such a short period of time.

Not long ago, Perry's sudden visit caught people off guard.

It interrupted Polis's beautiful day.

Now that he is asked to find the woman he is raising again, he is not interested.

Thinking about this, Polis smiled bitterly and sighed, and sat in the place where Perry had sat before, which was also his own place.

He picked up the terminal and began to understand the summary of the situation in various ports today.

Things have to be done, don't they?

Soon, Polis discovered a problem.

"The Freedom Seven freighter is three days late and is about to dock?"

Polis frowned and whispered.

The Liberty 7 freighter is an ocean-going company in the Aleman domain, just like other domains, on the surface, it is a clean and well-behaved commercial company, but behind the scenes, it is backed by various officials, while maintaining normal business status, but in fact helping the officials do all kinds of things.

As for this freighter, it arrived in the direction of Bahamut about 20 days ago, providing resources for the place, including but not limited to some normal items that are in short supply and profiteering, and also mixed with a large number of various mysterious related items, to help the side to fight against the forces of Huayu and intervene.

The normal route of the voyage, which was to arrive directly at Bahamut and return via the island of Rhodes in Polis for a brief repair, and to leave with some valuables, was a three-day stagnation that made one have to be wary.

Thinking like this, Polis picked up the landline and began to command:

"Liberty Seven is allowed to enter the docking, and the direction of docking has been changed to Westwind Harbor.

"Let the people and goods on the ship not come down, wait there, and I will lead the team to check."

Westwind Harbor, located directly west of Rhode Island, is where Polis has full control.

After some instructions and advice, Polis picked up his motivation and immediately went out-

The words were divided into two ends, Brigadier Perry's side.

He stepped out of the devil's mouth, or through the door.

When Perry stood on the land, the giant mouth behind him disappeared automatically.

He looked at the strange scene around him, and knew that he had been randomly teleported somewhere in Bahamut.

But Perry has long been used to it, after all, it is only the price of a dead person.

It's whimsical to want the contract demon to deliver it to him accurately, but...

"It's a little too remote in this place, too."

Perry thought expressionlessly, and he picked up the terminal to determine the location.

At that moment, an old hand slapped him on the shoulder.

With this ride, he found that most of his body was out of control, and his strength was even more inoperable.

This made Perry's eyes flash with astonishment, and then he saw not far from him-

There was a woman who appeared out of thin air.

She looked at herself, dressed in a black trench coat and with a cigarette in her mouth.

In his ears, the old joking voice came:

"Yo, isn't this Brigadier General Perry?

"The old man watches the stars at night, and you will enter the ranks of the stars next year~

"It's really gratifying, no, old man, I'll send it to you personally."

Xue Xie let out an old fox-like laugh.

Perry, who was under control, maintained his expression and said calmly:

"Nanmingshi, I am the brigadier general of the Aleman Domain, and I have not stepped into your realm.

"This is also a place of chaos, not ***.

"You're like that, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Xue Xie raised his eyebrows, and his tone rose:

"Oh? Yes.

"Look at this?"

As he spoke, Xue Xie conjured up a terminal out of nowhere, and pinned it in front of Perry.

Inside the screen is a positioning map, and after Perry sees it, his hole can't stop expanding.

Here, it's not Bahamut.

Rather—

Hekarim.

Less than a kilometer from the Bahamut sideline!

Perry instantly thought of a possibility, he was sold by the space demon.

I'm afraid, this is the only possibility.

And the damn old fox in his ear said in a disgusting tone:

"I'm scared, Perry.

"Back then, you sacrificed 1,200 people of the Aleman Domain's bloodline.

"Brought those people to Bahamut, we remember, hey.

"The hunt and kill order issued by our Huayu to you has not been revoked, it can't be forgotten, right?"

In silence, the woman opposite spat out a cigarette and said impatiently:

"Hurry up, Elder Xue.

"Is this place set up?"

Hearing this, Xue Xie said with a smile:

"I'll leave the matter of the fight to Xiaozang.

"Practice well, talents are rare—"

......

The other side.

Rhode Island, Port of Zephyr.

Polis hurried here.

He looked at the freighter docked in the distance, and the inspectors on the shore of the harbor.

When Polis saw that the person in charge of the place had trotted all the way to his side, he spoke:

"Have you figured it out?

"Is there any sluggishness in replying?

"Is the trajectory checked and confirmed?"

Polis's three questions show that he has not weakened his qualities.

Seeing this, the person in charge of the port nodded heavily:

"Yes, my lord, the captain said that there was a resource allocation problem on the Bahamut side, so he coordinated as the person in charge, so it was delayed for a few days, and to be able to arrive today, their side is already the result of increasing their horsepower.

"There are no problems with the reply, the personnel with the detection ritual type have conducted a preliminary investigation, everything is normal, and then we are going to carry out personnel checks and merchant ship inspections, which will take a little time.

"The trajectory side has also contacted the Bahamut side to confirm that there is indeed a problem, the timeline is correct, and the captain wants his personnel to come down immediately to make repairs, you see...?"

The person in charge of the port was a little embarrassed to ask for advice.

He knows the origin of the merchant ship, don't look at the other party is just a captain, and he is the head of the port, it seems that he is older than the other party, but in fact, if both parties will go to the domain to implement their ranks, maybe the other party is a few levels higher than him, or even higher than the Polis level.

And the other party's request is really normal, and there is no problem according to the unspoken rules.

Normally, I did this from top to bottom.

The only variable is that his boss, Polis, called in person today.

Therefore, the right to make this decision, the head of the port was handed over to Polis, and he took himself out.

Unexpectedly, Polis didn't seem to want to do this, and he looked at the person in charge seriously:

"It's no small matter, they want to come down one by one, and then we come on board and make sure there are no problems, you know what I mean?"

In the face of Polis's righteous words and secret criticism, the port director was speechless for a while.

Didn't you bring this ethos with you?

It can't be that you are beating too fast during the day, and you have no face to find a sense of existence, right?

Blanch you......

The person in charge thought about it, but his face hurriedly said:

"Then I'll tell the captain what you mean."

Polis also understands the other party's desire to shirk responsibility.

But this is to his liking, no more such complaints and complaints...

How to show the seriousness of each and every account given to Brigadier Perry?

And so, in the answer

, the person in charge of the contact.

......

Liberty VII, captain's wheelhouse.

"Well, okay, wait a minute."

The captain hung up the phone for a while, turned his head to look at the person next to him, bowed his head and said:

"Your Excellency, they asked me to wait for a single person to be screened, and to inspect the merchant ships."

Next to the captain, a mysterious person stood still.

He was dressed in a very strange purple tunic like a robe, a decoration that had never been seen in this world.

And on his face, he wears a mask.

Its mask has a white background of flames, and the eyes under the eyeholes are completely scarlet, somehow.

"Do as they say, and you will go on normally and will not be discovered.

"As for me, you don't have to worry about it."

The masked man said calmly.

Hearing this, the captain bowed his head and should be:

"Then I'll reply, Lord Candle Dragon."

As the order was given, the crew went down one by one to be investigated.

This includes, but is not limited to, physical and mental states and mysterious reactions, such as whether or not they have been bewitched by some kind of mystical charm.

As soon as this happens, its workload has increased exponentially, and it may not be able to be completed until the early hours of the morning.

Fortunately, everything went well.

Whether it's the view from the wheelhouse or the great relief from the port.

The crew members looked like they were being investigated accordingly.

Some of the crew members often come here, so they can also meet some of the staff, and they can even chat with each other familiarly, and Polis looks at the investigation work in the distance, and the test reports that are all normal, and the vigilance in his heart is slowly relaxed.

So far.

Polis greeted the person in charge, left the place first, and said that he would come back when he boarded the ship for inspection.

But Polis and the rest of the men didn't find out...

The bodies of these normal crew members have some bugs crawling around.

Neither the machine nor the mysterious ability can detect it.

It's like there's never been such a thing.

Until the captain also went down to be examined, there was only one masked man left in the captain's room.

Then he took off his mask, and his face flowed slowly like blood.

It's no wonder that the mask's eyelets are scarlet, after all, this person doesn't even have facial features.

But in the next moment, the blood-converging skull changed for a moment, and a face appeared.

He is left-minded.

"The landing on the island went smoothly, very good."

"It's worth all the time I've been preparing, hehe."
