Chapter 689
New world.
Miracle Island.
The rainstorm still fell ruthlessly and coldly, covering the earth tightly.
The world seemed like a huge grave, with only the sad sound of rain.
After an unknown amount of time, a navy soldier in a hooded raincoat hurried over, looked at Zhan Guo who was still standing there motionless, and saluted solemnly:
"Report to General Zhan Guo! The warships have been re-equipped. There are a total of ten warships participating in the war, and a total of five warships can sail normally after the war. Please give your instructions!"
Zhan Guo's slightly distracted eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he slowly came back to his senses.
His whole body was wet with rain, and his unique afro was hanging down in a mess, looking extremely miserable.
"... Notify everyone to board the warship and prepare to set sail."
His lips, which were whitened by the rain, opened and closed slightly, and a hoarse murmur came out.
The messenger was stunned for a moment.
He carefully looked at the pale profile of Zhan Guo and pursed his lips.
As a guard beside General Zhan Guo, he had never seen the former look so lost.
Although this battle did not achieve the expected brilliant results, it should not be such a big blow, right?
At least they also conquered many pirates in the New World, right?
"Are you... okay, General Zhan Guo? Do you want me to call the ship's doctor to help you check?"
The messenger asked with concern.
Zhan Guo was silent for a moment, and he forced a stiff smile on his face, waved his hand and said:
"I'm fine, just a little tired."
He looked at the many navy soldiers who were preparing in the heavy rain in the distance with confused eyes, and looked at the firm and young looks on their faces, and his ten fingers unconsciously clenched tightly.
"Go."
Seeing this, the messenger did not dare to ask more questions and turned to do it.
Zhan Guo stood there, staring at the scene in a daze.
The hoarse, old, sneering voice of the Five Elders seemed to echo in my mind again, like the whisper of the devil, echoing in my mind over and over again.
It was impossible to dispel it.
"Zhan Guo, you are a very smart person. You should know how to choose at this critical moment..."
"This is our final test for Darren. Just like the test we gave you back then, you should be able to understand our good intentions."
"The choice he makes will determine his life and destiny."
"And you, Zhan Guo... you know we have always been looking forward to you."
"Sora has made a decision to come to the Holy Land to serve after this matter is over."
"You should know what this means..."
"You... are about to become the next Supreme Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"
"The greatest talent of the Navy Admiral is to make the right judgment at a critical moment and stand firmly on the side of the government to maintain the supreme rule of the World Government."
"So... don't let us down, Zhan Guo."
"..."
"Damn it!!"
Zhan Guo suddenly lowered his head, gritted his teeth and let out a beast-like roar, and even couldn't help cursing.
His eyes were bloodshot.
The five old guys actually made themselves ready for the worst! !
It is true that this is a test for Darren...
But it is also a test for Sengoku!!
If he does not make the wisest and most decisive judgment, he may never be able to reach the top of the position of Admiral in his lifetime, and he may even be held accountable, dismissed or even arrested!
In the rainstorm, Sengoku clenched his fists tighter and tighter, and even his nails were embedded in the flesh, and bright red blood oozed out.
World Noble Hunting Competition...
"Graduation trip" of the Celestial Dragon elite...
Hasn't that kind of inhumane thing been buried in the torrent of history?
Why do they have to dig it out of the garbage dump and put it on the high altar after twelve years?
Do they think this sea is not chaotic enough?
Clearly, the Roger Pirates are about to arrive at the "Final Island", but the group of Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise are still keen on playing their lofty "playing house" game!
And the cruel fact that made Zhan Guo's back shiver was...
Is Darren, that arrogant brat, really willing to carry out such a mission?
Zhan Guo's mind suddenly emerged with the "Tianlong people were killed" in the North Sea, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
Such a proud young man, is really willing to do such a despicable mission?
And most importantly...
The location of the hunting competition is in the North Sea!
That is the place where Darren rose to power, and it is the forbidden fruit that he will never allow others to touch!
The genocide of an entire country or an island, thisSuch a thing happened in the North Sea, can Darren really tolerate it! ?
Zhan Guo didn't dare to think about it.
He seemed to see the raging fire, blood, and corpses burning in front of him.
"General Zhan Guo."
A cold and gloomy voice suddenly sounded.
Zhan Guo was stunned, raised his hand to wipe the rain off his face, and turned his head to look.
Sakaski, wearing a military cap, had come over at some point, with rain dripping from the brim of his hat, looking at him with a serious expression.
"Get ready to set sail."
He frowned at Zhan Guo, who was obviously in a bad state.
"Hmm..."
Zhan Guo took a deep breath, gathered his mind, and strode towards the coastline.
But just after taking a few steps, he suddenly paused and looked back at Sakaski.
"Sakaski, if one day our comrades and colleagues do something that disobeys the government's orders... how will you deal with it?"
He asked seemingly casually.
Sakaski was stunned.
He took a deep look at the haggard admiral in front of him, and said solemnly:
"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders."
Without the slightest hesitation.
Zhan Guo was silent.
He stopped talking and strode towards the warship.
When Zhan Guo walked in front of the warship, he stopped.
"The rain has stopped!"
"That's great... otherwise we would definitely encounter a storm on the return voyage."
"..."
A navy officer found something and said with some surprise.
The rain... stopped?
Zhan Guo looked up in a daze, looking at the sky that was no longer so gloomy, and his lips pursed tighter.
In the distant sky, the sea of clouds rolled, and large groups of dark clouds lingered and kept disturbing.
There were faint flashes of lightning in it.
He sighed in his heart.
No, it's not that the rain has stopped.
But a bigger storm is brewing.
"Let's go!"
Zhan Guo clenched his fist.
In the stunned expressions of all the navy, he raised his hand and gave an order with an indifferent look:
"Destination... North Sea!"
As soon as these words came out,
Kuzan, Gion, Huoshaoshan and others were suddenly stunned.
Borsalino was startled at first, and then he smiled meaningfully.
Sakaski was struck by lightning.
