King Snake General of Pirates

Chapter 72 Rare Visitors at the Base

Time flies and several days pass. With Matthew's careful teaching, the soldiers' swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, and their relationship with Matthew has also grown day by day.

Although Matthew is not a member of the navy, Hal has no doubt that whenever he requests anything now, the soldiers he has taught will help without hesitation if he acquiesces.

During this time, Hal not only served Matthew with delicious food and drinks, but also asked the soldiers to give away all the swords, guns and bullets they had snatched from the pirates before he left.

The soldiers didn't think anything was wrong with this, they just thought that the tavern owner, market owner, and sword master wanted to use these weapons to enhance the safety of their business.

On this day, a guest came to the naval base, a rare guest among rare guests.

The exquisite and beautiful carriage stopped outside the gate of the naval base. A boy who looked like a boy pulled the reins hard. The brown-furred horse neighed and stopped. The guards guarding the carriage came to the entrance of the carriage.

The boy opened the curtain, and an old man with gray hair stepped out of the carriage.

He looked at the not-so-majestic building in front of him, smiled slightly on his old face, raised his legs and walked inside.

"This is a naval base, stop anyone coming!" A naval soldier standing guard stopped a few people.

"Presumptuous!" The guards around the old man rushed out with murderous intent, reaching out to grab the naval officer who spoke.

"Don't be rude." The old man called to the guard. When the guard obeyed and took a few steps back, he showed a kind smile to the naval soldiers and said, "I'm sorry, it was us who offended him."

The boy who had been following him took a look at the old man, and cleverly took out a pen and paper from his arms and handed it to the old man. After the old man wrote a few big words eloquently, he folded it and handed it to the naval soldier.

"Please let me know that a distinguished guest is coming to visit."

The navy soldiers were startled by the murderous guard, who had a more fierce aura than they soldiers. After hearing the boy's words, a soldier took the folded paper, turned around and ran into the base.

The remaining soldiers returned to their positions and continued to stand guard. Their eyes looked at the old man who was still smiling from time to time, curious about his identity.

After a while, Hal took Jeremy and others out to greet him in person.

The old man led the escort into the base, and this time there were no soldiers to stop him.

The group of people walked inside the base talking and laughing. When Hal and the old man walked to the office, and the old man's guards wanted to follow them, they were stopped by Jeremy and other navy soldiers.

"This is the colonel's office, you can't go in." Jeremy raised his head and said without fear of the murderous aura from the guards.

"It is my duty to protect you, sir. How dare you stop me?"

There was a tense situation outside, and the scene suddenly became very tense. At this time, Hal and the old man walked out of the office.

Hal glanced at the old man's guards. There were ten of them in total. They were all tall, wearing thick silver-white armor, with long swords hanging from their waists. Their whole bodies were hidden in the armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

The eyes that were only exposed suddenly burst out with a strong and real murderous aura, as if they would kill people even if they were in the navy branch base.

It was this murderous aura that made Hal's eyes immediately turn cold.

From the extremely natural and aloof posture of these fully armed guards, it is not difficult to tell that they are all Kingdom Guards in the Androser Kingdom, who only protect noble ministers and the king's heirs.

The Kingdom Guard is not the highest-ranking army in the Kingdom of Androser, but it is directly subordinate to the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces. It can only be dispatched by the kingdom's nobles and ministers, and its status is higher than that of ordinary nobles.

The selection of every member of the Kingdom Guard is extremely strict. The first condition is that they must be of noble origin, and secondly, they must have made outstanding military achievements in the military before they are eligible to compete for one of the five qualifications to become a member of the Kingdom Guard every year.

The candidates selected in this way are all extremely brave and can be compared to ten. After becoming a member of the Kingdom Guard, they will automatically break away from the original noble family. While enjoying the honor, they will also become the most loyal soldiers who are only loyal to the Kingdom. .

This also created their arrogant attitude far beyond ordinary nobles, so even when they came to the naval base, they felt dismissive and did not take the navy in their eyes.

At this moment, when Hal, the commander of the naval base, met his eyes, several of the Kingdom Guard soldiers never lowered their proud heads.

Hal sneered in his heart, and was about to teach these people who thought they were superior, but the old man next to him said before him: "With Colonel Hal and the navy here, I think this place will be safer than the palace. You guys can't wait for now." Stand down."

"Yes!" The Kingdom Guard soldiers turned around and stood upright around them, without even looking at Jeremy and the other marines.

The old man shook his head and returned to the office with Hal.

Jeremy and the other navy left here angrily.

"I'm very sorry for what happened just now." After the two sat down on the sofa, the old man said guiltily. He didn't expect that such an unpleasant thing would happen when the two met for the first time.

Hal shook his head slightly: "Don't take it to heart, Duke Mansgold. For them, there is really no difference between the navy and civilians."

This old man is Mansgold, the Minister of Justice of the Kingdom of Androser, who holds the title of Duke and Noble, and is a good friend of Valentine, the previous colonel of the 53rd branch.

Since the last time Valentin talked about Mancegold, Hal was very surprised that Valentine, who hated the nobility, would get close to him, so he had people launch an investigation into Mancegold, only to find out that he not only loved the people but also loved the people. Ruzi treats commoners and poor people equally, and never has the condescending attitude of other nobles.

Hal admired him so much that he treated him with courtesy. If it weren't for the face of this veteran minister who dedicated his whole life to the kingdom, the performance of the few Kingdom Guard soldiers just now would have been enough for Hal to teach him a lesson instead of Plan to teach you a lesson.

With that said, Hal made two cups of hot tea himself.

Mansgold took the hot tea, felt Hal's free and easy atmosphere, and wanted to change the subject, so he said: "I thought that the colonel led troops to fight with pirates all year round, and would drink wine as a companion, but I didn't expect that he is also an elegant person. ."

Hal laughed and said: "Yes at first, but later under the influence of a good friend, I gradually fell in love with the refreshing fragrance of the tea. I am not an elegant person, but I am just following the same example."

"Too modest." Mansgold smiled slightly.

"The Duke paid a sudden visit. Could it be that pirates appeared somewhere?"

Mansgord smoothed his long white beard and said happily:

"That's not the case. Although I am in the royal city, I have heard about the colonel's many heroic deeds. In fact, I have long wanted to meet the colonel. Previously, the navy was arresting pirates in the Western Military Region. I was afraid that you would be busy, so I suppressed this intention. My mind is now calm everywhere, so I don’t come here uninvited.”

"Speaking of the Western Military Region, I asked people to inquire a lot at home. It is said that since the navy entered the area to capture pirates, it has gradually stabilized from a chaotic and lawless place. The colonel must have put a lot of thought into this matter."
