The strongest sea god of pirates

Chapter 8 Military Court

On this day, Captain Michael, who was already awake, sent someone to invite Arthur to the bedroom. Although he couldn't get out of bed and walk around, his complexion had improved a lot.

"Brother Arthur, thank you for saving me!" Michael bowed slightly.

"If you hadn't saved me and Uncle Eugene, I'm afraid we would have starved to death on the desert island!" Arthur leaned on the chair, gobbling the exquisite pastries that only the captain can enjoy.

Seeing that Michael hesitated to speak, Arthur pretended to be displeased and said, "Just say what you have to say, what are you hesitating about?"

Michael chuckled awkwardly, and suddenly became serious, "Brother Arthur, I have thought about your matter carefully, since the major left you behind and fled, he must have thought of a perfect way to deal with it, if you If I go back, I might not even have the chance to go to a court-martial, but if I give up my navy status now, as long as my company's job is chosen by my brother!"

"Michael, I appreciate your kindness. I am a navy soldier, and I uphold my oath and faith!" Arthur shook his head and refused without thinking, "Don't worry, the officers who preside over military courts are appointed by the headquarters. It will definitely be handled impartially, no matter how powerful the background of that Hun Dan major is, he cannot escape the blame!"

Michael hesitated to speak, but seeing Arthur's firm eyes, he sighed slightly in his heart, and changed the topic to talk about other things.

Of course, those warehouses of gold, silver, jewelry and priceless weapons Arthur couldn't take back, so he had to entrust Michael to take them away, value them and store them in different categories.

At noon, the scorching sun scorched the earth, and with the sound of a huge bell, a huge merchant ship slowly entered the harbor.

Arthur bid farewell to Michael, and rushed to the nearest naval branch with Sergeant Eugene.

The vicious incidents at sea are not only related to the reputation and life and death of the two of them, but also to seek an explanation for those innocent brothers who died.

It's just that Arthur could clearly feel that someone was following them all the time, and there was nothing to worry about when soldiers came to cover up the water and soil.

Seeing that the Navy Division was right in front of them, just as they were about to cross the street, dozens of naval soldiers suddenly rushed out from around them, pointing their guns at them.

"Arthur, Eugene, you two traitors who surrendered to the pirates have the face to come back?!" A piercing voice followed.

Arthur frowned, staring at the leading second lieutenant with a haughty expression and said coldly, "Sir, there is a price to pay for talking nonsense!"

"You two damn bastards have lost all the face of the navy, I can't wait."

Suddenly the second lieutenant's words stopped abruptly, and he stood upright full of unwillingness, saluting the lieutenant colonel who came out of the navy branch.

"Sergeant Eugene, Private Arthur, I'm sorry for frightening you, please come with me!" The bloated Lieutenant Colonel with a Chinese character face had a friendly smile on his face, bowed slightly to express his apology, and then raised his hand He motioned for the two to follow him and leave.

"Yes, sir!" Arthur and Eugene saluted at the same time, followed the lieutenant colonel and left the street.

"You can't take them away, they are a disgrace to the navy!" Some ensigns who were in a panic stepped forward to stop them.

"Get lost, or I'll send you to the Military Law Office!" The lieutenant colonel suddenly shouted in a cold voice. Although the second lieutenant was indignant, he could only watch Arthur and the others leave unwillingly.

"The second lieutenant is the nephew of Major Sapper, and he is a mad dog because of his background," the bloated lieutenant colonel explained apologetically as he walked, "You are the hero of the naval battle, there is no doubt about it, no matter what Major Sapper has background, I will help you expose his ugly crimes and bring him to justice!"

"Thank you for your help, sir!" Sergeant Eugene said respectfully, while Arthur on the side was thoughtful.

"This is your room. You must be tired all the way, please rest early!" The lieutenant colonel personally took Arthur and Eugene to the single officer's dormitory in the Navy branch, "The judge who came from the headquarters Already on the way, the court is expected to start at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, here are the military uniforms, food and drinks for the two of you."

After washing, Arthur lay down and looked at the ceiling, always feeling that something was wrong. Could it be that they were really considered heroes by the navy?

Arthur stood up and hesitated for a while when he picked up the wine glass. Suddenly, he thought of something, put down the wine glass with a gloomy face, and rushed to the opposite room of Sergeant Eugene.

Fortunately for Arthur, Sergeant Eugene, who was already asleep, was in the room. The room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. It seemed that he drank a lot before going to bed. Fortunately, there was no crisis as imagined.

Arthur who left the room smiled wryly and shook his head, it seemed that he was thinking too much.

It seems that the life at sea these days has made him more cautious and suspicious. This is the naval branch, and the only safer place than this is the Marine Headquarters Marine Vanduo.

As a precaution, although Arthur was hungry, he did not touch the food and drinks in the room all night.

Early the next morning, a group of soldiers with live ammunition entered the room.

The leading sergeant took the handcuffs and shackles, smiled at Arthur and said, "It's routine, please cooperate."

Arthur frowned slightly, but he didn't resist. As a navy soldier, since it was a court-martial rule, he should obey it.

Under the escort of a group of soldiers with live ammunition, Arthur walked through the corridor to the sacred and solemn military court hall.

It's spacious here, and the gorgeous sunlight streaming in through the windows seems to dispel any darkness.

A military judge from the Marine Headquarters of the Navy has arrived, and the jury and defense lawyers served by the Navy are also in place.

Everything seemed perfectly normal, and what was normal was somewhat elusive.

At this moment, Arthur regarded him as an enemy, and Major Sapper, who wished to crush him to ashes, walked in from the outside.

Major Sapper, who was wearing a brand-new military uniform, looked at Arthur proudly, his blue eyes shone with the light of victory that everything was under control, and his playful smile made Arthur suddenly uneasy.

Arthur's heart sank to the bottom, and he already realized that something was wrong.

Since it was an open confrontation in a court-martial, why did Major Saper, the defendant, be well-dressed and proud?

On the other hand, Arthur, who appealed to the plaintiff, wore shackles and shackles like a prisoner awaiting trial, as if this was not a public confrontation but a trial for him.

The second lieutenant who stopped them at the entrance of the navy branch before was the security officer of the court-martial, and the bloated lieutenant colonel became the jury with decision-making power. And Sergeant Eugene believed that the court-martial would be a fair and open trial.

What made Arthur even more unbelievable was that Major Saper was not sitting in the dock, but the plaintiff's dock, and Arthur, who was in handcuffs and shackles, was brutally pushed into the dock.

"The plaintiff, please state the situation that day, without concealment, fabrication, or slander!" The judge with a solemn expression signaled Major Saper to get up and make a statement.

Major Sapper got up and said calmly: "Your honor, at the evening of July 25th, this ship received a distress signal from the naval warship Hubert. A mutiny led by Sergeant and Private Arthur needs urgent relief."

"When the ship arrived, the captain of the USS Hubert had been killed, and his head was hung on the mast, and it was very clear!" Major Sapper's tone was full of grief and indignation.

"At the same time, the pirate ships that had been ambushing in the surrounding area suddenly came towards our warship. It was judged that it was the pirate side that Sergeant Eugene and Private Arthur had defected to. There is a reason to retreat, and the statement is over, Your Honor!" Major Sapper sat down calmly, as if all this was true.

"Your Honor!" Arthur stood up angrily, staring at the tall judge.

"Silence!" A trace of disgust flashed in the judge's eyes, "Private Arthur, this judge has not asked you yet, please respect the order of the court and do not speak at will!"

"Witnesses!" said the judge suddenly.

"Witness?" Arthur was taken aback, feeling a little unbelievable for a moment.

It stands to reason that the witnesses were all witnesses to the incident that day, and the naval soldiers on Major Saper's ship did not have the right to testify because of their affiliation.

So, are there any survivors among the sailors of the Hubert who disappeared into the sea that day?
Arthur was surprised and delighted at the same time, looking expectantly at the slowly opened heavy door.
