Chapter 1553 Putting Your Thoughts Away
The thought flashed through Baot's mind like a meteor, and he quickly rejected the impulsive and short-sighted idea of poisoning.
Although poisoning at this moment might be successful temporarily, the subsequent investigation and suspicion would destroy all his previous plans and would be of no benefit at all.
So, his face was immediately filled with a flattering and enthusiastic smile, and he started to toast with Master.
As the glasses clinked, wine splashed and the laughter of the two echoed in the dormitory.
Baot cleverly catered to Master's every word, sometimes echoing his views on the war situation, and sometimes telling a few humorous jokes to make Master laugh.
In this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, Baot seemed to have a precise calculation in his mind. Every word and every action of his was contributing to his future promotion.
At the same time, the camera turned and came to the Kuro Pirates.
Kuro sat in the spacious but slightly dark captain's cabin, surrounded by various nautical charts and weapons.
He held the message from Baot in his hand, with no expression of joy or anger on his face, like a bottomless lake, making it impossible to see through his inner thoughts.
"You really didn't disappoint me." Kuro murmured to himself, his voice low and magnetic.
He looked at the three simple yet crucial words "War has begun" on the paper, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, like an eagle waiting for its prey to appear.
Kuro began to pace around the room, each step was steady and powerful, and the floor under his feet made a slight sound.
As he walked, he quickly calculated in his mind the time when they would make their move.
"Wait until one side wins and send troops immediately. This is a perfect opportunity. With the speed of our warships, we can reach the battlefield where the Revolutionary Army and the Army are currently located in about three days."
He silently calculated in his mind, "Even at the risk of the engine being scrapped, driving at full speed can significantly shorten this time.
By then, both the victors and the vanquished will be exhausted after a major battle. If we suddenly attack, we will surely catch them off guard and achieve unexpected results."
After thinking about the plan, Kuro put down the information in his hand and pinched his eyebrows with both hands, as if trying to relieve the fatigue caused by long-term thinking.
Then he leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes slightly, as if enjoying this moment of tranquility.
But his mind never stopped deducing the battle situation and planning future actions.
"Come on, my bored bones are almost rusted." Kuro suddenly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an expectant and slightly crazy smile.
He longed to fight, longed to create a storm of his own on this turbulent sea.
For him, war is not only a contest of strength, but also a stage for wisdom and courage, and he is destined to become the most dazzling protagonist on this stage.
On the deck of the Kuro Pirates, the crew were busy with their own tasks. Some were checking the ship's weapons and equipment, ensuring that every cannon could deliver its maximum power at the critical moment; others were sorting supplies, fully preparing for the upcoming battle; and others were gathered together, quietly discussing the upcoming battle, their eyes filled with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
"I heard that the revolutionary army and the army are fighting fiercely in the Bay of Perse. We will definitely make a fortune if we go there this time!" said a young crew member excitedly.
"Don't take it lightly, both sides are not easy to deal with. However, with the captain here, we are sure to win!" Another experienced crew member patted the young crew member on the shoulder and said confidently.
At this time, on the battlefield of Pers Bay, the battle between the revolutionary army and the army was still going on fiercely.
Smoke filled the air, and the cries of battle shook the earth. Dorag led the revolutionary soldiers in a valiant resistance, their eyes filled with a desire for freedom and hatred for the enemy. Satan Saint, standing aboard the army's flagship, commanded his soldiers in launching wave after wave of attacks, attempting to completely annihilate the revolutionary army.
Behind this fierce battle, the Kuro Pirates are like a group of hunters hiding in the darkness, quietly waiting for the best time to attack.
Once they take action, they will surely create a huge storm on this sea and change the course of the entire war.
And Baot, in the Army Logistics Headquarters, continued his "performance", providing key intelligence to the Kuro Pirates, and step by step leading various forces into his carefully designed trap.
...............................
After five days of bloody fighting, Boulder Bay looked like a huge open-air cemetery.
The sea was densely covered with corpses and wreckage of warships, and broken masts rose and fell in the waves, like the hideous claws left by the demon of war.
The blood dyed the sea water dark red and emitted a pungent fishy smell, which mixed with the burnt smell of the burning warships and filled the air, making people sick.
A well-trained seagull flew quickly over the sea. The camera on its chest flashed in the sunlight, like a vigilant eye, silently recording the tragic scene on the sea.
This seagull is a member of the news bird army, which is responsible for bringing the latest news from all over the world back to the news base.
After completing the filming mission, the seagull flapped its wings and flew high, rushing towards the news base.
Its figure looks particularly agile against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds. After flying for a while, the seagull finally arrived at the news base.
The base was bustling with activity, with staff members hurrying in and out.
A staff member was sharp-eyed and saw the returning seagull. He quickly ran up and skillfully took off the camera worn on the seagull's chest.
The camera contained the tragic scene of Boulder Bay that he had just captured, which was the cruel mark left by the war.
The staff did not dare to delay for even a moment. He took the camera and walked quickly to the developing room, where he carefully developed the film.
The developed photos appeared before my eyes one by one, and the scenes in the pictures were shocking.
The staff member looked at these photos and couldn't help but feel emotional, but he knew that now was not the time to be sentimental. He had to deliver these photos to Morgans as soon as possible.
So he quickened his pace again and ran towards Morgans' room.
Morgans, the giant of the press, was sitting in his spacious and luxurious room, surrounded by piles of newspapers and documents.
He was tall, wearing a gorgeous nightgown, his hair was a little messy, but his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle.
He was drinking coffee and waiting for the latest news from the front line.
"Knock knock knock", there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Morgans said without looking up.
The staff member opened the door, walked quickly to Morgans, and handed him the developed photos.
"Boss, these are the photos just sent back from Boulder Bay."
Morgans then put down the coffee cup in his hand, took the photo and began to look at it carefully.
His brows gradually furrowed and his expression became serious.
In the photo, a large number of corpses and warship wreckage are floating on the sea, but only two intact army warships are particularly conspicuous. Apart from them, no other complete warships can be seen.
"Where is Dorag?" Morgans raised his head, his eyes full of confusion. He didn't expect that after this great battle, he couldn't see the figure of the revolutionary army leader Dorag.
"Why can't we even see that guy Satan?" Morgans asked again. He was very surprised that Saint Satan, an important general of the army, did not appear in the photo during this battle.
The staff member shook his head and said, "Boss, we've only received these photos so far, and the details are unclear. But judging by the photos, the battle seems to have been extremely brutal, with both sides suffering heavy losses."
