Chapter 505: The Sea of Burning Steel

When Vice Admiral Karp led the naval fleet to the East China Sea to prepare to carry out the demon slaying order, although it only took less than half a day to wipe out the thieves' den in Rogue Town and a number of small bandits under the banner of the 'Fog Hidden Pirates'.

But what to do next, he really had a hard time deciding.

Because the Sengoku Admiral of the Navy Headquarters passed on a message to him through the phone bug, that is, the Navy of the Headquarters has now been dispatched to the Advance City to support, and Karp is currently leading the Demon Slayer Fleet is the only force that the Navy Headquarters can still deploy at any time in the first half of the Great Voyage, so he asked Vice Admiral Karp to be cautious and try to avoid fighting and protect ships as much as the situation allows—because the Sengoku Admiral is very worried that the reinforcement fleet will go wrong and cause the 'Pirate Rebellion' to spread from the East China Sea to the South China Sea and thus the rear area. Paradise's total runaway state!

After all, the shipbuilding center of the world government is in the South China Sea!

The capital of the seven waters in the South China Sea is the key to the navy's plan to upgrade warships in the future, and it must not be affected by turmoil!

However, after receiving this instruction, although he was full of promises during the call, Lieutenant General Karp still had a sad face afterwards and did not know where to start.

Now the various naval branches in the East China Sea have adopted the so-called 'conservative refusal strategy' - that is, the cat is closed in the naval branch base, and as long as the Fog Hidden Pirates do not reach the door, there will not be much trouble!

But such a response is undoubtedly a great loss of the Navy's credibility in justice!

After all, if you don't even have the ability to defend against pirates, what use can the navy have!

Therefore, not only the merchants and civilians, but also the kings of the allied countries also complained about the navies of the various branches, and even resisted their fears, and sent messengers to venture to Rogue Town, asking Vice Admiral Karp to 'help in the suppression'!

In the past, the navy that carried out the demon slaying order was regarded as a disaster by the nobles and even the kings who were in cahoots with the lawless!

"The situation in the East China Sea has collapsed to the point where it is out of control......"

In the base of the naval branch in Rogue Town, Vice Admiral Karp sighed faintly.

"Strike hard and destroy the most rampant pirate gangs, so that they can deter those pirates!"

A general of the Young Zhuang faction said: "The Warring States General is still too conservative, and this kind of indecisive action will not only push the situation in the East China Sea to an even more uncontrollable point, but also a heavy blow to the prestige of our righteous navy!" ”

"That's right!"

"You have to take the initiative!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of young Zhuang faction generals immediately echoed their words.

Although this sounds fine, the request of the Warring States General is not unreasonable, and Lieutenant General Karp feels that the general who just spoke out is actually hesitating in Yin and Yang.

If he remembered correctly, such a radical young general should be the henchman of a young general who was unwilling to be lonely, and this general also had some 'non-divisiveness' about the position of admiral.

"There are still two generals in the headquarters, whether it is the pirates of the New World or the paradise, in fact, they can't threaten the safety of the headquarters and the Holy Land!"

Then another more radical admiral jumped out and shouted: "But! Sitting back and watching pirates commit abuse in order to preserve their strength is undoubtedly a betrayal of the justice of the navy! ”

"That's right! This is betrayal! ”

"Justice is not absolute, it is absolutely unjust!"

The momentum of the generals of the Young Zhuang faction has become even greater.

"Lieutenant General Karp doesn't mean to sit idly by, after all, our dispatch this time is to carry out the demon slaying order......"

Due to the fact that some of the generals put on a posture of leaving alone on the spot without saying a word, the relatively neutral generals hurriedly spoke up: "But after all, the strength of the Fog Hidden Pirates cannot be underestimated, and we must also ......think about it in the long run."

"No matter what, we must not stand still in Rogue Town!"

Seeing that their goal had been achieved, the young Zhuang generals who advocated the removal of the roof in order to open a window were no longer aggressive, and their tone was also softened, but their demands remained unchanged.

"Alas......"

Lieutenant General Karp couldn't help but sigh with a long sigh.

In fact, whether it is the request of the Warring States generals or the demands of the young Zhuang generals, they are actually correct from different perspectives.

After all, Rogue Town is a 'town of the beginning and the end', guarding the sea route to the great sea route in the East China Sea, and in the face of a pirate rebellion that is already raging like a prairie fire, it makes sense to stick to it or take the initiative.

"Let's carry out the tactic of steady clearance, but we can't dismantle the fleet and send it out, we can only carry out the next operational ...... after clearing an area."

Lieutenant General Karp hesitated again and again, and decided to choose a balance between the Warring States generals and his subordinates' requests!

After all, he is also a strong man who is known for his fortitude and justice, and his enthusiasm has not yet completely cooled, and it is not in line with his concept of justice to sit back and watch the pirates wreak havoc!

The generals of the Shaozhuang faction glanced at each other a few times, but in the end, no one made a sound and continued to provoke.

……

Although the fleet and ninja army that fought were not as large as the First Legion, the advance fleet led by Uchiha Shiina also achieved good results.

In particular, after the Fog Hidden Pirates began to burn and loot frantically under the order of Loquat Shizang, and even broke through several small naval garrisons in a row, the advance fleet took advantage of the chaotic situation to begin to carry out the 'Destruction Offensive', capturing the capitals of several member countries in a row, and after looting the treasures in the treasury, all the grain in the grain depot and Berry were distributed to those civilians free of charge.

At the beginning, although the civilians were afraid of the legendary brutal and murderous 'Fog Hidden Pirates', under the temptation of interests, there were still many low-level civilians who had nothing to run to collect supplies, and after they were able to return with a full load, the civilians completely fell into the fanatical pursuit of the righteous thieves!

"Our goal is to free all oppressed civilians!"

Although the battleship still bears the banner of the Misty Hidden Pirates, the naval ninjas no longer hide their costumes, but wear a group fan to protect their foreheads, and the ninja vests are neatly draped, and they are very patient in distributing food and small amounts of Berry to the civilians - the reason why these banknotes are sent down is also because there are too many captured Berry, and the seal scrolls carried by the battleship are used to store chakra shells, and there is really no room for these worthless gadgets.

But for civilians, this is simply a saint-like existence!

In particular, the civilians living in a country ruled by tyrants were even more silent, clutching the supplies that were very large but not worth a few dollars, as if they were holding the hope of survival.

Of course, for the civilians at the bottom, the supplies distributed by the naval ninjas can indeed allow them to live a good life in a short period of time.

"We oppose the tyranny of all feudal nobles, and we oppose the brutality of the Celestial Dragons!"

At the behest of the Uchiha Shiina, the naval ninjas spread the 'philosophy' of this operation: "We are here to make sure that more people can live well!" ”

"Those who will only make more people unable to survive when they are alive are destined to be hung on lamp poles and fluttering in the wind!"

"When we leave, they will build your house, they will give you land, they will raise your wages; But it's not because they found it in their conscience, it's not because they've become good people, it's because we've been here! ”

"We are the fire of the prairie that will burn up all injustice wherever we go!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the naval ninjas beheaded rows of noble officials, bandits, and pirates, or hanged them!

And this scene is repeated everywhere the advance fleet goes!

And this makes the member countries that are already difficult to withstand in the constant attacks of various true and false fog hidden pirates, even more unable to sit still!

Even the raids of the True Mist Pirates did not pose much of a threat to the king and nobles, after all, the country they were in was the safest place in a kingdom, and most of the looted were just port towns near the sea.

But as the advance fleet attacked in all directions, a sudden fire began to spread in the East China Sea.

Now the kingdoms are not only facing the attack of pirates, but even their inland towns are beginning to show signs of instability, effectively imitating the signs of slaughtering nobles in the 'Fallen Zone' - after all, the telecommunication function of the telephone bug is too convenient, and after learning what happened to the kingdom captured by the rebels, the commoners are no longer willing to be an An'an starvation!

And Lieutenant General Karp, who was originally only concerned about carrying out the demon slaying order and gradually eliminating the pirates, couldn't sit still after learning about these big riots against the nobles!

He knew that the next step would be to no longer be able to carry out the more conservative but indeed steady gradual elimination tactics!

Sure enough, an hour after Vice Admiral Karp received an intelligence analysis of the situation in the East China Sea, an order from the Holy Land of Mary Joy forced Vice Admiral Karp to change his tactics and begin to assemble a naval fleet and prepare to sail to the craziest area of the pirates to clear out!

Although the Warring States General was quite dissatisfied with the overstepping command of the Holy Land, he was helpless - because this was the unanimous request of all the current surviving member states in the East China Sea!

And as a navy defending justice, he really can't choose to sit idly by in the face of such violent turmoil, so he can only tell Vice Admiral Karp to act cautiously, and then Vice Admiral Karp does his own thing.

……

As for Loquat Shizang, who was caught in the midst of the rampant killing, it was becoming more and more difficult to control his emotions.

After capturing three naval garrisons in a row, Loquat Shizo and the Mist Ninjas under his command, who had once again swelled up in the slaughter, completely let themselves go, completely abandoned their purpose of creating chaos in the first place to force the world government to recognize their status, and prepared to have a head-on confrontation with the menacing Demon Slayer Fleet!

Of course, as a ninja, Loquat Juzo was not stupid enough to face the government navy in close combat, so he only took six more mobile ironclads with him, and those sailing ships withdrew to the more secluded ocean.

"We are the Fog Hide!"

"Born to be the king of the sea, the great fog hidden!"

Standing on top of the flagship's command tower, Loquat Shizang roared out a battle declaration with all his might: "Fog Hide, who will not flinch even in the face of a strong enemy!" ”

"Blood mist! Bloody battle! ”

The Misty Ninja, whose mind had long been blinded by the killing, let out a terrifying howl at the instigation of Loquat Juzo!

And although the Fukasaku Immortal who went out with the ship was a little uneasy, it also knew that in the face of such a situation, there was no way to retreat!

After all, among the 'chaotic troops' in the rear under the banner of the 'Fog Hidden Pirates', the Uchiha Dynasty's fleet has already appeared!

Therefore, if the remaining veins of Mist Yin and Miaomu Mountain do not want to flee to other seas, they will only have one way to face the menacing Demon Slayer Fleet.

"Left full rudder!"

When the naval fleet began to appear above sea level, under the personal command of Loquat Shizo, the Fog Hidden Fleet immediately completed the turn, formed a battle line, and aimed its heavy artillery in the direction of the enemy ships.

Loquat Shizo intends to use the tactics of peeling off the cocoon and relying on the firepower and speed advantage of his own warships to sink the huge naval fleet one by one!

"This ocean is destined to burn!"

……

"It's not like a warship that just a pirate can have!"

On the first battleship of the naval fleet, Vice Admiral Karp had a solemn expression, also observing the foggy fleet in front of him.

Although there were only six warships, he still did not dare to be careless.

After summing up the experience and lessons of many naval defeats, Vice Admiral Karp also summed up a set of special tactics, intending to confirm them on the fleet in front of him.

"Hopefully, the big depth tactics will work......"

A Kingdom officer standing behind him muttered, a look of apprehension on his face.

In addition to the naval fleet that is facing the huge frontal battle, Vice Admiral Karp has also transferred some of the elite navies who have carried out the demon slaying order to make a big detour towards the preset engagement area in a state of 'absolute secrecy', with the purpose of narrowing the highly mobile Fog Hidden Pirates activity area in order to seize the opportunity to jump the gang in close combat!

Of course, although this move was privately evaluated by some admirals as a 'death pig assault', no one objected to this tactic, after all, they could not think of a better plan other than that.

And in order to make the fleet facing the enemy look more powerful, so that the Fog Hidden Pirates would not think that the naval fleet had been divided, Vice Admiral Karp even transferred all the naval branch warships and ships of the Joining Kingdom in the control area to cobble together an 'invincible armada'.

"Their tactic was to sink or set fire to our wooden warships through long-range artillery bombardment, while at the same time making detours and constantly pouring fire with their superior maneuverability......"

A rear admiral patted the wooden guardrail in front of him and said, "And, although we can intercept the shells, I'm afraid we can't ......"

"It's just some iron coffin floating on the sea!"

Lieutenant General Karp snorted coldly and interrupted the Major General's words: "As long as they enter close combat, they are vulnerable!" ”

Even Lieutenant General Karp rarely encountered such a combat method as the Fog Hidden Pirates.

After all, both the navy and the pirates are actually more inclined to use artillery bombardment as a means of attack, and the way to decide the battle situation has always been a duel between the strong of the two sides since ancient times!

"This ocean is destined to become a sea of burning steel!"
