Pirate's Path of Destiny

Hearing this sentence, everyone in the room turned their heads and looked in the direction of the door where the sound came from.

The speaker was none other than Will, who was rushing back.

In the room, Guina looked at Will with surprise and reproach in her eyes. Her eyes seemed to say: Didn't I tell you not to irritate him again? Why are you back again?

Will, who was standing at the door, seemed a little confident. He completely ignored Kuina's cannibalistic eyes and walked slowly to Tian Yi. His deep voice gave people a different sense of security.

"Will you trust me again?"

......

The life of Navy Branch 153 has been very nourishing recently.

Although there was an accident last time and the pirates invaded, the branch strengthened its defense force. However, after persisting for a month without any incident, it returned to its original state.

In the previous pirate invasion, almost all the new recruits in the Navy who expressed their unwillingness to get involved despite private hints in advance were killed and injured. Of course, it is unknown how many personal grudges were mixed in.

However, in these days before the new batch of recruits have arrived, it is the time for these navy veterans to revel.

In the transaction with the pirate group, the navy received the majority of the wealth.This part of the money was really quite a lot. The vast amounts of baileys piled up into hills on the island where the delivery was agreed. In addition, there were countless gold and silver. The naval officers responsible for counting were dazzled.

In the subsequent division of the spoils, each participating navy was also allocated enough money to eat, drink and have fun for a whole day, which made the branch seem happy.

Some sailors are even complaining. On weekdays, when they go to collect protection fees, vendors one after another complain about the difficulties in life and business.Only after the pirates came and plundered it, could the money hidden in the merchant's home be truly revealed.

But Colonel Rice, who is actually responsible for ruling Navy Branch 153 and the entire Shields Town, is not in such a good mood.Because his boss, Brigadier General Glinton of the branch, was about to come to inspect the situation here.

砰

Colonel Rice sat in a comfortable chair in the office and slammed the table with his fist.

"Damn it, is all the gold in the vault hidden?"

"It's already hidden. Do you need to hide all the jewelry you exchanged before?"

"No, don't mind your own business, just step back."

It wasn't until the subordinate navy soldiers left the office that Rice relaxed slightly, but his brows were still furrowed.

Brigadier General Glinton was the benefactor who had single-handedly promoted him to this position, at least in the eyes of others.Only Colonel Rice himself knew that he had just figured out Brigadier General Glinton's temperament and hobbies.

Commodore Glinton loves jewelry. This is a fact known to many naval branches in the East China Sea. Therefore, every time he comes to inspect without the Vice Admiral, the navies from various places will present some jewelry to please him.

But he has a quirk that only a few of his cronies know, that is, he likes to look for the jewelry hidden by his subordinates, which gives him an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

Colonel Rice seized on this point every time and hid the jewelry to be bribed in some relatively easy-to-find places, and when it was discovered, he gave it to Glinton.Only then did his official fortunes continue, and he finally reached this position.

This time was no exception. He used a large amount of gold and silver to buy jewelry just to bribe Glinton.

At the same time, he hid a large amount of real wealth in a treasury, hoping to get away with it.

After all, he has reached the position of colonel, and Glinton is just an idiot half a rank higher than him. After so many years, Rice himself has been promoted from second lieutenant to colonel, but the idiot remains the same. brigadier general.

Thinking of this, Rice couldn't help but grin.

Glinton, I'll give you an advantage this time. You won't be happy for long.

Early the next morning, Navy Branch 153 all gathered to welcome the arrival of the branch commodore.

The sky is cloudless, today is a rare good weather.

On the sea, several seagulls were flying back and forth, swooping down to the water from time to time to catch a few fish without eyes.

On the port, a large number of navy stood neatly, uniformly wearing blue and white navy uniforms, holding standard long swords, standing upright on the embankment.

At the rear of the navy formation, several lieutenant-level officers could not bear the scorching sun and occupied shops at the port to enjoy the cool weather.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no trace of the warship in the distance. Several officers became bored and gathered around the table and whispered.

"Tell me, is it really necessary for that brigadier general to welcome him so grandly?"

"It's Brigadier Glinton, you idiot"

"Yes, yes, it's Brigadier Glinton. Is he so scary? I think Chief Rice has been very cautious recently."

"What do you know, I heard about him before from that dead Reddy."

"Hurry up and tell me what kind of terrible trick he has."

"That's right, tell me quickly. I don't believe it anymore. Chief Rice is about to be promoted. He may have a higher military rank than him soon. There's nothing to be afraid of."

The high temperature in summer made people a little impatient. The people who were aroused gathered around the informed lieutenant and urged him impatiently, without even noticing the figure approaching from outside.

"I heard that Brigadier General Glinton has a nickname, called Hungry Wolf, because..."

"What are you guys doing here?"

Just as they were getting to the crux of the matter, the chat among everyone was interrupted by a roar outside. The lieutenant colonel responsible for maintaining order at the port had arrived outside the shop at some point, and they were caught chatting lazily.

After a while, the few who had been chatting hurriedly towards the queue on the embankment with their heads lowered. They were punished to stand guard in the queue with ordinary soldiers.

The surrounding navy officers saw that several lieutenants were also punished and suffered the same suffering as them, and they couldn't help but let out a few low laughs.

However, under the angry gaze of the queue leader, they quickly stood at attention and meticulously.

Time under the summer sun is always so torturous. Just when everyone couldn't stand it any longer, the dark shadow of a warship finally appeared on the distant horizon.

The officers in charge of reception at the port breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly scolded the somewhat lax soldiers to stand still and make sure to give Brigadier General Glinton a good impression.

As the ship approached, the appearance of the warship gradually became clearer, and the naval flag hanging on the warship could even be vaguely seen.

Colonel Rice finally got up from under the prepared parasol and went to the shore to greet them.

But at this moment, he who should have shown a smile suddenly frowned.It wasn't just a warship that came, there was also a somewhat damaged pirate ship being towed behind the warship.

A somewhat confused Rice turned to look at the subordinate in charge beside him, his eyes seemed to be asking.

Is this the originally agreed-upon welcome ceremony?
