Chapter 143: Army Lieutenant General Bullet, Reporting for Duty!
"What is he doing?"
Mata, lying on the ground, opened her pink lips in surprise and said, "Why would he commit suicide for no reason? I don't see him having any serious injuries!"
Lucci pushed his Dark Red Glasses up his nose, observed carefully, and speculated, "It seems he was bitten on the calf by a Kabane, so he chose to commit suicide to avoid threatening his comrades."
"If that's the case, then the Resolve of the Soldier in this World is truly high. On our side, let alone the Army, even the Marine Soldier couldn't blow through their own Heart without hesitation, could they?"
Hearing Mata's words, Lucci nodded and said, "This also shows how heavy the Pressure these Living Dead called Kabane have brought upon them."
"But I'm more curious about one thing now. Judging from their current Military Strength and the Efficiency of clearing the Kabane, they clearly can't eliminate all the Kabane here, and I'm sure there are also a large number of Kabane Inside the City!"
Mata looked at the open City Gate and agreed, "Indeed, it must have Fallen. You can see Gunfire Flash everywhere inside from here."
"So what do we do now?"
"Notify the Base in the rear and have them send Troops over. Although that City has Fallen, there must be a large amount of Intelligence inside!" Lucci said after a moment of thought. Mata beside him looked at him doubtfully and asked, "What about us? Aren't we going in to take a look?"
"We'll follow this group of Armed Forces. A Fallen City is dead; it can't run away. But these people are alive, and keeping an eye on them has greater Value!"
"You contact the Base immediately!"
Seeing that he had made a decision, Mata said no more and cautiously retreated. After moving a certain distance away from the Hilltop, ensuring they wouldn't be noticed by the people below, she took out a Transponder Snail and quietly explained the Situation here to the rear.
Five minutes later, the call ended.
"Alright."
Mata squatted down and returned to lie beside Lucci. The latter raised his chin and reminded, "Look at what they're doing?"
The former narrowed her eyes and looked down from above.
She saw that after the Black-Clad Soldier paid a small Sacrifice and cleared most of the Kabane on the plain, they began using tools similar to large pincers, cooperating with each other to capture some Kabane whose Limbs were broken but were still alive, and then dragged them towards the dark Iron-Armored Train.
"They're also capturing the living ones!"
Lucci nodded and said, "Yes, perhaps their purpose is the same as ours, which is to Research these Kabane."
"But this also means they are about to leave. Let's hurry and follow them, find a way to board that Train, and be careful to stay hidden. Don't expose ourselves yet!"
After speaking, Lucci took Mata and once again turned into Afterimage, rapidly approaching the area below.
As expected.
Just as Lucci had thought, after the group of Black-Clad Soldier captured twenty to thirty Kabane and locked them in the carriages, they began to retreat in an orderly manner, conveniently taking the Musket from their fallen comrades' hands and the Yellow Canister Device strapped to their backs.
When the last batch of the Motorized Squad returned to the Train, the open Armor automatically closed tightly, and at the same time, a whistling Alarm Whistle sounded from the front of the train.
Soon, this 'dark giant beast' under the Starry Sky roared and drove forward, its Speed gradually increasing. But neither 'it' nor the people 'inside' it noticed.
Two Black Shadow under the Moonlight chased after it at a Speed faster than 'its' own from behind, and then, just before the Train's Speed reached its maximum, they easily leaped one after another onto the tail of the last carriage.
However, there was no obvious sound when they landed. The entire process seemed so silent amidst the chugging noise.
Mata pressed tightly against the Iron Plating of the outer carriage, wary of the movement inside where orange-yellow lights shone, and quietly asked, "What do we do next?"
Lucci said with a blank Expression, "Find a way to capture someone, put on their Clothing, and blend in. Since they also use Wa-language, we can probably understand what they're saying. First, figure out the Identity of this group of Troops."
As he spoke, he took off the Glasses on the bridge of his nose, folded them, and put them into his jacket pocket, revealing his sharp, indifferent Gaze.
"Judging from their performance in the previous Combat, although this group of people are Soldier, their Strength is very weak, not even as good as the Marine Soldier of the Four Blues Branch. They can only be considered ordinary Citizens who have received some Military training and are carrying Guns. Only a few of them are relatively Agile."
Mata nodded. Suddenly, she asked a strange Matter, "That's right, but there's a problem. How do you plan to solve it?"
"What problem?"
"I noticed that the Height of this group of people is generally below 1.8 meters, with an average of 1.7 meters, while I am 1.85 meters, and you..."
The sexy beauty with blonde hair and a black dress looked Lucci up and down with her beautiful eyes and said, "I remember you are two meters tall, right?"
"..."
Lucci's cold Face instantly froze.
He never thought that one day he would be troubled by being too tall, but the problem was that he wasn't considered tall in the Home World either!
At the same time.
The Star Gate Base, which received Mata's Report, became even more lively at this time.
The Officials in charge of management quickly transmitted the News of discovering a large City and Armed Forces to the Star Gate Base on the Homeland Side, and then this Base continued to Report it to the CIPHER POL Headquarters, and finally, CP0 was responsible for contacting the Five Elders above.
And finally, it was naturally the Five Elders who personally reported to Im.
However, Im's answer was to give them full Authority to handle the Exploration and Development of the New World themselves. After receiving this Order, the Five Elders immediately decided to dispatch a large Army force to enter.
Room of Authority.
"Should we let Bullet go with them?"
Saint Topman Warcury looked at Saint Jaygarcia Saturn and asked. The latter narrowed his eyes, examining the half-exposed Blade of the Shodai Kitetsu in his arms, and replied, "It's something he'll know sooner or later. Let him go."
"That's true. Crocodile has already gone, there's no reason for Bullet not to go. Perhaps after knowing these things, he'll become obedient," Saint Marcus Mars said with a smile.
"However, to use Bullet, we still need to ask Lord Imu to issue an Order. As for us, that bastard won't listen..."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said discontentedly, "This Crocodile is the same. He's been gone for so long and hasn't sent back any News. I don't believe he hasn't discovered anything."
"Let him be. This is also Lord Imu's intention," Saint Jaygarcia Saturn said slowly, putting away his Blade, seemingly not in a hurry at all.
"As long as he comes back in the end, the Army will have one more Combat Power. At that time, we will have to train Crocodile. He is still too weak now."
"At least we need to make up for his shortcomings in Haki and Martial Arts. At that time, let him go to your CIPHER POL Headquarters for training. You are good at this aspect."
In fact, the best option was to let Crocodile enter the Zephyr Training Camp for a year, but then he would become a Marine, and Zephyr might not be willing to accept him.
"Alright."
The five great Lords made the decision. The Order began to be rapidly transmitted from top to bottom, and soon it reached the Army Headquarters Land Force.
Upon receiving the Order, two thousand fully armed Army Soldier quickly assembled. This was the Military Strength of one regiment.
Not many.
But then again, the Star Gate was only so big; too many people would take too much Time just queuing up.
Ten minutes later, everyone, wearing Hard Leather Gloves, Metal Armguard and Leg Armor, dressed in black Military Uniform, carrying Automatic Rifle on their backs, with a string of Grenades and a Long Saber hanging from their waists, and riding Military Motorcycle, was personally led by Bullet, rushing out of the Headquarters' Steel Justice Gate with countless rumbling noises and great momentum.
At this time, he had already put on a full set of dark blue Suit, black Leather Boots, and the black Coat of Justice with white lettering draped over his shoulders.
Army Lieutenant General, Douglas Barrett.
Reporting for Duty!
Speaking of which, I, as an author, am a little excited about the content of this book, especially when I typed out the last two words 'Reporting for Duty'. It's kind of exhilarating.
I used to like reading Fanfiction that combined all the Combat Power, Technology, Resources, and Military Power of the Pirate World and then went on expeditions to the Multiverse, but I either couldn't find any, or the ones I found weren't to my liking, so I decided to write it myself!
The Little Author received a good News notification. On the 24th, this book will be on the homepage's Potential for Excellence list, requiring me to prepare 20,000 words of Saved Drafts for a burst of updates!
As Great Readers, do you still remember what the Little Author said in the first chapter, that this book has the Potential for Excellence?
Now it seems, it is highly likely to become a reality. All you handsome, dashing, and generous Great Readers, can you lend this book and the Little Author a hand?
Let's make it hit the Potential for Excellence list, damn it!!!
