Chapter 179: Guarding the Advancing City
Advance the city.
Basement 4, Office of the Director.
A jailer sweated on his forehead, and hurriedly ran towards here, and when he came to ten meters in front of the office door, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly took out a gas mask from his arms and put it on.
"Director Magellan!"
The jailer shouted.
No one answered him, and after about two breaths, a voice like thunder came out.
"Knock knock!"
Then, there was a low, pleasantly relaxed moan.
The jailer froze, then covered the hole in his gas mask again, twisting his head to the side.
It was the special toilet that was built for Director Magellan alone.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Crackling!"
When he had diarrhea, a smooth and sparse voice came out, which made the jailer show a trace of horror on his face.
He involuntarily took a few steps back, but soon remembered something, and cried out with a trembling face and a face fixed on his feet.
"Administrator Magellan, I, I have something important to report!"
"Knock knock knock!"
In response to him, there was another long faint sound. Then came a terrifying smell that made the jailer's face turn purple.
"Tell me, what's the matter!"
In the toilet, Magellan's voice rang out.
Then, there was another flurry of grunts.
The jailer almost fainted, his eyes full of horror.
"Yes, it's Marshal Sengoku!"
"He seems to have come to the city with an important prisoner."
"I'm afraid you'll need to greet the Administrator personally!"
Magellan took a deep breath, crouched down on the pit, and slammed into it.
"Knock knock knock!"
Between the two hips, it suddenly rushed out, and his painful abdomen suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and the pain on his face was also less.
Then, he stood up, belted his trousers, and stepped briskly out of the toilet.
"Then let's go check it out!"
Magellan said.
The jailer waited for the tall figure in front of him to walk a long distance before he followed.
ββ
Advance the city, one floor on the sea.
Xia Le's feet were shackled, the iron cables behind him swayed, and the sound of gold and iron came out, dragging him on the ground.
His steps were a little heavy, and the wounds on his bare upper body were shocking, making the jailers on both sides tremble with fear in their eyes.
"Is it a new prisoner?"
"How can such an injury still be alive?"
"Who is he? It was actually sent by the Marshal of the Warring States in person. β
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β
Everyone's hearts were full of shock, and they were shocked by the terrible figure with their feet shackled and their bodies pierced by iron cables.
Hannibal greeted him with a respectful attitude and a flattering smile: "Marshal of the Warring States, it's good that you hand over the prisoner to me, the air here is not very good, I'm afraid you won't be used to it." β
Hearing this, Warring States glanced back, lowered his head, and Xia Le, who was walking heavily, frowned slightly, and then looked at Hannibal in a low tone.
"Deputy Director Hannibal!"
"He's not a prisoner!"
"It's the Navy Headquarters, the new admiral, Xia Le!"
Hannibal was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Xia Le behind the Warring States, and soon there was a hint of shock in his eyes.
"He's Charlot?!"
"The new general, Xia Le?"
Of course, he would not be unaware of this name, and it could even be described as thunderous.
When the Golden Lion Shiki escaped from prison, he was asked for this name.
"He, what's going on with him?"
Hannibal said in surprise.
Anyone who sees Xia Le's appearance at this time will not associate him with the general, the shackles of the sea building stone between his feet, the iron cable piercing his body, and this embarrassed and badly injured appearance.
It's more like a prisoner than a prisoner!
"What about Magellan?"
"From today onwards, General Charlot, together with you, will be responsible for guarding the city."
"This time, I brought him here to tell you about it!"
Sengoku said with a frown.
"Director Magellan, he'll be back soon!"
Hannibal hurriedly said.
Then, his eyes were focused on Xia Le again, and he was puzzled and surprised in his heart.
A great general, and he was a man of the year in the navy before, a legendary lieutenant general, would actually come to Advance City.
Was this suppressed, or exiled?
General Xia Le, offended high-ranking officials? Made an unforgivable mistake?
For a time, Hannibal experienced a brainstorming session.
The three of them sat in a gloomy room and waited, and before they knew it, Magellan was late.
"Marshal of the Warring States!"
"Ordinary prisoners, I'm afraid I don't need you to come in person."
Magellan said in a deep voice.
"Not a prisoner!"
Sengoku reluctantly explained again.
He somewhat understood why Xia Le had to leave the shackles and iron cables on his body, and he had to carry a serious injury.
This is probably a warning to yourself that you must not be negligent at any time and in any place.
It can be seen that the sneak attack of the five old stars was also a great blow to this young man. But this is undoubtedly a good thing, because Xia Le is not decadent, but more ambitious and self-motivated.
"General Charlot?!"
Magellan looked up in shock.
When he saw the other person's face, he quickly recognized it.
Back then, it was this man who personally handed over the Golden Lion Shiji to him.
"Whoa!"
The iron rope shook, Xia Le slowly raised his head, and an ugly smile appeared on his face.
"Administrator Magellan."
"The next work will be bothered for you to take care of it!"
Magellan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Advance to the city, with the addition of General Charlot, it will be as solid as a rock!" β
Seeing that the two sides had greeted each other, Sengoku quickly left.
The position of the new marshal, coupled with the incident of Xia Le, his workload has increased greatly, and it is a moment of anxiety.
For a while, in the house made of stones, only the deputy director of the city and Xia Le were left.
Hannibal covered his mouth and nose, subconsciously moving as far away as possible from Magellan.
He was a little restless, and after about a minute or two, he made an excuse to leave quickly.
"There's generally no work here."
"General Charlot, you can find a place that you are satisfied with, as an office and a temporary living area."
Magellan said in a deep voice.
His face was always serious, and he didn't smile.
Xia Le also frowned slightly at this time, and the poisonous gas on the other party's body played a slight role.
"Second floor!"
Magellan was stunned: "Second floor? β
"Yes, the second basement!"
"In the beast hell, just find me a place and use it as an office!"
Xia Le nodded.
"It's a place where jailer beasts roam, and it's a dangerous area even for the jailers advancing into the city!"
Magellan said solemnly.
In the beast hell, there are not only prisoners, but also jailer beasts that lose human consciousness and completely transform into monsters after the failure of the animal awakening.
These jailer beasts are also extremely terrifying, with super resistance to blows, recovery ability, and their strength is much more than that of humans, which is extremely difficult to deal with.
"For me, that's the right place to be."
Xia Le smiled slightly.
Although Magellan was puzzled in his heart, he didn't ask much: "I will arrange it for you." β
Then, after the two chatted awkwardly for a while, and after really nothing to say, Magellan left.
Xia Le was led by the jailer to go to the beast hell.
"If you go any further, there will be a powerful jailer beast wandering, which is very dangerous!"
"General Charlot, you can choose a vacant area and use it as an office!"
The jailer said as he looked at the huge shadow in front of him, trembling with fear in his heart.
Xia Le didn't mind, stared at the wide corridor in front of him, and nodded: "You go get busy!" β
"Thank you, General Charlot!"
The jailer let out a long breath and turned to run for flight.
After smiling slightly, Xia Le looked ahead.
The dark, damp corridors were paved with large, solid stones, and the walls were flanked by fierce torches burning at intervals.
Obviously, the torches here have to be replaced at long intervals. Because, there are large areas of land, completely plunged into darkness.
And in the darkness, there was a faint danger, and a huge figure flickered.
"Is this my next home?"
Muttering, Xia Le stepped forward.
As soon as he moved, the huge shadow in the shadow in front of him also moved. In the blink of an eye, a huge, hideous head appeared in the light.
Blood-red eyes looked down at him, and two white gases erupted from his mouth and nose.
"It's a good place to sharpen your strength!"
Xia Le smiled.
ββ
Naval Headquarters, Marin Vando.
"What?"
"General Xia Le has entered the Advance City?"
"Just, kidding? How could he possibly enter Advance City! β
"And so suddenly?"
"Is there a crime committed? But how is that possible? A man of integrity like him could not make a mistake at all! β
"It must be a mistake on the part of the headquarters!"
When the news came back to the headquarters, all the generals were stunned, and then the headquarters was shaken.
Countless people flocked to the door of the marshal's office, wanting an explanation and accurate information.
How could a powerful and well-behaved admiral be suddenly sent to a place as filthy and gloomy as Advance City?
Sengoku's face was tired, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He was also in a bad mood about this matter, and even got angry.
Originally, they were all ready to realize the justice and dreams in their hearts, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly.
In the end, he could only explain to a group of generals.
"General Xia Le, he was sent to guard the city, this is a normal job transfer."
"He has not committed any crime, please do not doubt it."
But even so, it still failed to satisfy the generals.
In particular, the lieutenant generals headed by Maynard, StΓ©rez, and Flying Squirrel had the posture of making a big fuss in the marshal's office.
Sengoku couldn't bear it anymore, and he was completely furious, and smashed a solid wood desk with one punch, only then did he suppress the five people and drive them out.
When the corridor was completely calm, he slumped weakly in his chair, looked at the mess in front of him, and sighed deeply.
"What is this called?"
Meanwhile.
West Sea, G-1 base.
Ships hovered in the air, confronting the inexplicable ships in front of them.
Barrett's eyes were solemn, staring at the hazy figure of the Nine Paths on the ship at the front.
It wasn't until a moment later that the nine figures turned around, entered the cabin and disappeared.
The fleet also turned around and sailed away.
"Whew!"
"Who the hell is it? It puts me under so much pressure! β
Barrett let out a sigh of relief, confused.
Faintly, he had a bad premonition.
