Chapter 277 Thomas Gregory
It was in the morning and it was sunny in Nisk.
It’s another good day for tourists.
However, in the garrison headquarters on the headland on the north side of the mouth of the “Leiden River”, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Compared with the luxury of a banker, this is a poor Conference Hall.
Roughly polished source stone walls and floors, in order to ensure the strength of the fort, even the ceiling is extremely low, and there are several narrow windows on the wall that only allow adults to lean out.
Even in the daytime, gas lamps had to be used for lighting.
A long paneled table covered in green flannel, with two rows of bulky wooden chairs on each side, completes Conference Hall, in the same shabby style as Major General Coverdale’s office.
Oh, at least the wall decorations are a little better today than in his office.
On the uneven wall, there was a flag of the Kingdom of Taro, a navy flag, and an alliance “Tulip Cross Flag” that was specially hung up because of the complexity of the participants.
Here.
The military meeting, including the military officers of the country’s garrison, representatives of reinforcements from the six countries, and the Church’s Iron Wall Knight, has been going on for a long time.
“Reporting, Your Excellency, the information as of this morning.
No anomalies have been found at the six fixed maritime observation points from Nisk to the far sea frontier.
>
In addition, our two battleships and twelve cruise ships are divided into four groups to conduct a full-course cruise on a six-day cycle. The same is true.
The ‘Leiden Valley’ and News of Huggins’ next attack has apparently spread far and wide, and most of those who should know already know it.
Even we have records for more than ten days in a row, not seeing a single one at sea. It’s a pirate ship.”
In the Garrison Command, a colonel’s adjutant in charge of responding to maritime threats finished his report, saluted and sat down again.
“en!”
Sitting at the head of the conference table, the commander of the garrison, Major General Coverdale, who was not angry with his command knife in his hand, nodded slightly towards him, then looked towards the seat next to him. of another officer, with deep pressure in his shallow blue eyes.
“Colonel Wilde! It’s been a while since your combined mobile units have been stationed in several major cities, and I’d like to know what you’ve gained during that time?
Especially intelligence The agency has identified the elite subordinates who are active in Huggins in the cities along the route, how many of these mice have you caught?”
The Colonel officer named Wilde heard this immediately and saluted the commander. :
“Report to Your Excellency!
We have recruited Kingdom Garrison officers and Alliance reinforcements to form a mobile force consisting of 28 transcenders and 120 apprentice peaks.
It is divided into three groups, one group is stationed in the capital Brandenburg, the other group is stationed in the city of wealth Golden Lion City, and the last group moves along the ‘Leiden Valley’.
This During a period of time, many new faces have poured into various cities, which is enough to prove that many forces have focused their attention here.
We didn’t care about those who took the initiative to report their identities, and cooperated with each other a few days ago. The city defense forces, we captured a total of 23 pirates who showed signs.
After the interrogation, it was confirmed that the five people captured in the two small cities of Como and Macerata were the pirate kings His immediate subordinates.”
The colonel paused, with a look of shame on his face:
“But no matter how harshly we were tortured, we couldn’t get anyone else’s hiding from them. including the purpose of their coming here this time.
It can be basically determined that all the subordinates of the Pirate King use passive one-line contact, at least subjectively, they do not understand their trip.
In addition, the military advisory group used all available means such as hypnosis, divination, and channeling, and could not get more information from them.”
Major General Coverdale brows frowned, apparently dissatisfied with their work.
As the highest-ranking military officer in the “Leiden Valley” region, after so long, he didn’t even know where the enemy’s target was. I’m really sorry for the trust of King Your Majesty.
Never mind the maritime patrol forces that should not be the main focus. The garrison officers and elite transcender troops who had high hopes on the land could not even catch the only clue to the “pirate king’s direct line of pirates”.
However, the general knew that losing his temper was useless, and patiently continued to ask: “What about Golden Lion City and Brandenburg?”
As the largest and most important in his area The two cities in the world are definitely not to be missed.
Even though the “Golden Lion City” has a third rank church bishop and a Great Knight of the Netherlands Banking Corps all year round. “Brandenburg” consul Mars count himself is an experienced senior Great Knight, and is one of the Guardians of the White Swan Crown of the Taylor Royal Family.
They are strong, far stronger than reinforcements.
Cautiously looking at the general’s face, Colonel Wilde Brace oneself said:
“Lord Mars Count allowed us to enter the city and stationed himself, and also sent his own guards to cooperate with our investigation. But there is no harvest for the time being.
In addition, the members of the Netherlands Bank Group said that they have the ability to protect their own and their clients’ property, and do not allow us to disturb the peace of the city and citizens.
And Jasper bishop from the Golden Peak cathedral also helped them, and although we were stationed there, it was difficult to carry out the investigation because of their non-cooperation.”
Bang——
Hearing the feedback from “Golden Lion City”, Major General Coverdale was instantly so angry that he slammed the command knife in his hand.
Even though I know that Golden Lion City, an alternative “country within a country”, is not easy to deal with, but at this juncture that may be attacked by the pirate king, I am still playing this set! Are they not afraid of death?
However, those big bankers don’t even give the king’s face, let alone the garrison commander himself.
Secretly annoyed for a while, the major general is also worth kicking his eyes and spit out two words:
“Incompetent!”
I just don’t know the word general Who the hell are you talking about?
At this moment, I heard a very small voice sound in the Conference Hall, but most of the people present have an extraordinary level above the official Knight, so I can still hear that sentence. Gently Chuchu.
“How can we blame us for not catching the big fish? We don’t know if there is an inner ghost to cover these mice?”
The officers who attended the meeting easily found out They all looked at the source of the sound, including Captain Alwin who was unperturbed sitting in the corner of the Conference Hall and brought his ear.
A young officer with short ice blue hair, sitting in the position of the Joint Mobile Force, holding a long sword with a black hilt and black scabbard. Under the attention of everyone, he was holding his neck, as if he didn’t care that his words would be heard by others.
The major general, who was already unhappy in his heart, raised his eyes to see this thorn, and his face was even more elongated.
“Mr. Thomas Gregory! Do you suspect that there is a Huggins in the cities along the route?”
As the second place of this “Navy Rising Star”, His arrangement for him was to join the first-place Alwin Garriott and the third-place Bertram Solomon to enter the sea cruise team.
Not only does it seem important, but there is not too much risk. Haven’t you seen that even pirates are gone at sea now?
However, perhaps because he felt that his “Snow Lake” was just a Level 5 cruise ship and did not want to be short in front of the other two “Navy Nova” piloting the battleship, Captain Thomas directly abandoned the ship. The ship went ashore and joined the mobile unit.
It’s all set now.
The performance of his mobile unit was not good, and he dared to find reasons to shirk responsibility again.
From the moment he started reporting, he directly disobeyed his own arrangements, and Major General Coverdale had already “preconceived” for him to be flamboyant, impetuous, proud and disliked!
Hearing the general’s questioning, Thomas insisted on his own point of view without showing weakness:
“It’s not just suspicion, I think the current situation is difficult to explain with common sense. If there is not enough internal response, it is impossible for a large number of elite pirates to hide so concealed.”
The general laughed instead of anger, and asked again:
“Hehe, common sense?
Do you know how much energy it takes for hundreds of thousands of pirates distributed in cities along the route according to the hidden intelligence? Do you know that collusion with pirates in the entire Tulip Alliance is regarded as a Pirates are guilty of the same crime, what is the fate?
What kind of big power in the ‘Leiden Valley’ would take such a risk, which is equivalent to abandoning everything they have in the tulip, and following a person who can only wander What about the big pirates at sea going all the way to the dark?”
Seeing that Thomas was not convinced and wanted to argue again, the general raised his hand to stop what he had already said:
“That’s good, the situation you said is not that absolutely does not have a possibility.
I will assign you an independent intelligence squad, and you will be responsible for the investigation of that behind-the-scenes intelligence squad. How about finding the ghosts?
You can even choose the personnel of the Intelligence Section in the garrison. We will give you half a month at most. If you can’t find them, you will return to yours.’ “Snow Lake, let’s go out to sea for a cruise mission!”
oh la la ——
Thomas pushed away his chair and stood up, the general’s words hit his heart.
Feeling that his talents could not be used, he immediately agreed loudly:
“No problem, Your Excellency! These days, I am familiar enough with the Leiden Valley, just give me An assistant will do, my crew is my team.”
Said, glancing pretentiously at the officers in the Conference Hall, he finally settled on a man he had been paying close attention to since he entered the Conference Hall.
“Hehehe, what did I say, I’m being targeted by a troublesome guy, and it’s finally here.”
When Alwin heard the cypress sitting beside him, Trame Solomon taking pleasure in other people’s misfortune while laughing.
He raised his head just to meet Thomas’s gaze, and naturally saw the smugness in his eyes, and heard Thomas casually say:
“Your Majesty, why don’t you let Alwin · Mr. Garriott, please be my deputy! The ‘Navy Rising Stars’ who belong to this issue, we just took this opportunity to learn from each other.”
