Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.

"We still met, Lu En. This is our first official meeting."

In the naval headquarters, Lugard sat in the rear-admiral's exclusive chair. The surging spiritual value in his body made people breathless.

He was wearing a neat white navy uniform, and his body was as straight as a pine tree.

His sharp eyes were fixed on Lu En, as if he was inspecting the chess pieces he had carefully prepared.

Lu En's gaze did not escape at all, but returned to meet him.

The real Lugard is slightly different from the portrait of him five years ago in the gallery.

Compared to the high-spirited him five years ago, Luke is now thinner, calmer, and older.

The aura on his body has become much calmer than before.

But he is like a sharp sword covered in blood. Even if it is sheathed, it can still exude a terrifying evil spirit.

At the same time, it also makes people worry about what kind of terror it will bring when the sword is unsheathed again.

When Rune first met Lugard on the naval ship, he was still weak and could not detect the strength of the other person from his aura.

Coupled with the fact that Lugard deliberately restrained himself at that time, Lu En had no understanding of Lugard.

But now Lugard showed everything about himself in front of Rune almost without reservation.

Divinity. Divinity. Still divinity.!

Rune was able to detect at least five kinds of divinity in Lugard.

And the richness of these divinities is hundreds of times richer than the "Key of Rot" that he obtained!

In his current state, he hardly resembles a human being, more like a strange object!

If there really is such a strange object in the world, it may have caused countless extraordinary people to fight for it.

Taking a deep breath, Lu En did not reply directly to Lugard's words. Instead, he placed the wooden sign on the table in front of him, "What you want from your mentor."

Lugard held the wooden sign in his hand, played with it carefully, and then said: "It seems that you have a strong opinion on me. If you had the ability, I'm afraid you would have taken out your destiny to kill me by now."

"Of course." Lu En did not hide this at all.

"Hmm. This is also a normal thing. If you think about it from your perspective, if it were me, I would have the same thoughts as you." Luke said quietly, "My destiny is in the hands of others, and I am treated as a pawn. It is true. It doesn’t feel good, cough cough.”

Lugard suddenly coughed and covered his mouth and nose with a silk scarf. A large amount of black blood was stained on it, and his face suddenly turned pale.

But he didn't care, he just carefully wiped every trace of blood from the corners of his mouth, and then placed the wooden sign on his chest.

His originally rapid breathing improved a lot in an instant.

He calmed down and said to Lu En: "But you are indeed beyond my expectation. You were originally just a little pirate used by Chris' men to 'invest'. Who knew that you would grow at such a speed along the way?" So fast."

"I admit that I am involved in every action you take, but the outcome of the mission is achieved by your own hands."

"For example, this time, I wrote a letter of recommendation to my mentor, but with his character, he will never accept you easily. Armand will definitely contribute a lot in this."

"I had no hope that you could become my junior brother, but the fact is that you do have this qualification, and you should also have this qualification."

"You are an outstanding guy. Considering that you are my junior brother, I am willing to say these words to you and express my due apology to you."

"But please understand me. I don't mean to target you and kill you, but at the right time, when I need a demanding chess piece the most, you happened to appear in front of me. All of this It’s like fate, you know?”

After talking so much, Lugard became obviously tired.

Lu En looked at Lugard at this time with a somewhat complicated mood.

Perhaps it was because of his change in identity, or perhaps the major general wanted to use this to stabilize himself and prevent his plan from unintended consequences.

In any case, he actually saw a trace of sincerity in Lugard's eyes.

"Why do you insist on killing Hydra?" At this time, Lu En finally asked his doubts, "With your strength and status, to put it bluntly, even if the war broke out ten or twenty years ago, you would still It won’t be affected in any way. For you, killing Hydra doesn’t seem that necessary.”

"That's true." Lugard agreed. "For me personally, whether Hydra dies or not doesn't mean much, but for Belloberg, it means a lot!"

Speaking of this, his tone was extremely firm, and it seemed that nothing could shake it.

"It is said that the territory of the empire spans five oceans and seven seas, but that was the original empire. What about the current empire? The princes are divided and have two minds. As the principal force closest to Hydra, Beloberg The snake wakes up and we will bear the brunt of it.”

"As for the fragile Belloberg, we don't know what the consequences will be after it is hit."

“Rather than sit back and wait, it’s better to take the initiative.”

"Of course, there is also my selfishness in this."

"Belloberg means a lot to me. I promised one person that I would protect this place, and I will never break my promise, even if it costs me my own life."

"Lu En, my junior brother, you will understand in the future. Everyone has some reasons that make you risk your life, and you save your life just to wait for that day."

Speaking of this, there were countless traces of sadness in Lugard's eyes.

After a while, he calmed down and took out a document and handed it to Lu En.

"[Black Tower] and [Between Life and Death] have rebuilt their formations in Beloberg, and your practice can continue here."

"In the name of the Navy Command, I have assigned you to the special operations group to be responsible for some special affairs."

"Originally, according to the plan, there were still forty days to prepare."

"But due to my loving father's intervention and the deterioration of my condition, I can only give you the last thirty days, ahem."

"Thirty days later, no matter what, the plan starts."

Lu En walked out of the naval headquarters with many thoughts in his mind.

As senior brother Armand said, Rune and Lugard have different positions, but the same goal.

The purpose of both of them is actually Hydra.

It's just that Lugard's ambitions are greater and his actions are even crazier.

"Thirty days? It's really urgent."

Although Lu En has not changed his indifferent attitude towards Lugard, as a player in the situation, he has no room to retreat.

All he can do is become stronger again within thirty days!

With a heavy heart, Lu En walked along the familiar road towards the alchemy workshop.

Belloberg City has now entered a first-level wartime state.

The appearance of his loving father and the "shattering" of the world caused a serious blow to Belloberg's business, agriculture, and fisheries.

In the city, all guards have been dispatched to investigate undercover believers who may be lurking in the city.
