Compared to the unconscious Tianming, the naval base was already in an uproar. Anyone with a brain would understand what it meant when the capital of the Great City of the West Ocean, Sagler, was stolen. It was also because the situation was so bad that Dalmesia relied on his identity as a major general to forcefully seal the matter in the base.
However, paper couldn't hide the fire after all. This matter definitely couldn't be hidden for long. Not to mention the expenses of the big and small affairs in the city, just dealing with the head gold sent by the pirate hunters was enough to give him a headache. Therefore, he hurriedly reported this matter to the admiral of the navy, Kong!
"What did you say? Damaiding, I sent you to Sagler because I want you to look after it for me! The vault was stolen? Now, you're actually telling me this? How do you do things?”
Hearing Kong's furious question, Dalmesia's entire body trembled, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. Even so, this matter was ultimately his responsibility, and he did not dare to refute it.
" Marshal, there's something fishy about the vault being robbed…"
"Strange? The key to the capital storage room of any sub-base was always in the hands of the person in charge. It was a tradition! Don't tell me that you gave the key to your soldiers. If you did, take off your righteous uniform and go to Justice Island for trial!”
Kong was also furious and said angrily on the spot. His angry expression also made Zhan Guo, Karp, and the others in the meeting room look at him.
"Did something happen? Marshal! Damaiding's ability isn't bad, it should be…"
"Sagler has no money. Don't you think this is a big deal?”
Zhan Guo, who had wanted to plead for Damaiding, was stunned when he heard this. His eyes widened in disbelief. It was currently the high Fenger period of the era of the great pirates, and pirates were everywhere. At this time, the West Ocean's most important strategic location, Sagler, had a shortage of funds. If this matter was exposed to the outside world, what would outsiders think?
Sagler was captured by pirates? In the era of pirates, the navy couldn't stop them? The navy could no longer protect the safety of the people? Or was it even more ruthless? Did the navy become pirates themselves?
If the pirate hunters knew that the navy was out of money, what would they think? In itself, the purpose of the bounty was to encourage the pirate hunters to help them eliminate the pirates and earn profits. If there was no money to be earned from killing pirates, it would be easier to become a pirate himself.
It could be said that no matter what the speculation was, this matter was a big blow to the reputation and current situation of the navy. To put it bluntly, any problem with the navy or any strategic location would lead to a series of troubles.
To make a simple analogy, the navy also needed a salary. If they couldn't afford it, who would want to risk their lives to fight pirates? Even if there were, it would be an individual, a very small number, and there was no difference. It could be said that if the financial problem of Sagler could not be handled properly, then this strategic naval base would be useless!
"Marshal, the most important thing now is to solve Sagler's financial problem! Even if he wanted Dalmatian to go on trial, he had to wait until the problem was solved!”
As a wise general, the words of the Warring States Period made Kong slowly calm down. Then, he shouted at the phone worm,"Damaiding, put your problem aside for now. It will take at least three days for reinforcements from headquarters to arrive. Immediately inform the naval branches around Sagler and ask them to allocate some funds to solve the urgent problem!”
"Yes, sir!"
Just as Damaiding agreed, the phone bug on the other end hung up immediately. Thinking about it, it made sense. With such a big incident happening, it would be strange if Kong's temper was good. He was already able to endure it by not making him commit suicide on the spot…
Meanwhile, in the conference room of Marin Fando's headquarters, everyone fell silent when they saw Kong's troubled expression. Only Zhan Guo was pondering over the problem.
"Marshal, I feel that this matter might not be caused by Damaiding!”
Zefa nodded in agreement.
"I think so too. As my student, you should know his character and marshal without me saying it! It was impossible for such a big mistake to happen to him, who was rigorous in his work!”
Kong sighed slightly when he heard the words of his two most trusted generals.
"The problem lies with Sagler, and Sagler is under his jurisdiction. Whether it was his fault or not, he had to bear the main responsibility for this matter! Forget about Zefa, Zhan Guo, what do you think?”
Zhan Guo nodded in response, his expression heavy.
"The timing isn't right, Marshal!"
When the group heard him say this, they could not help but be stunned. Kong also looked at him strangely with a puzzled expression.
"Speak…"
"After the Ohara incident, that clown disappeared. I've been wondering how he left the island. Not long after we posted the bounty on that guy, Sagler's funds were stolen. If there's nothing wrong with Damaiding, then the problem lies with that clown's ability…"
"Are you trying to say that the other party has the ability to move without us knowing?”
After Crane finished speaking, Zhan Guo nodded and said,"To be more precise, the other party might have the ability to teleport. If that was the case, then everything made sense. With Ohara's departure and the theft of the heavily guarded Sagler, all the problems were solved!”
When everyone present heard him say this, they could not help but fall silent. It was fine if he didn't know, but it would be even more troublesome if he knew. After all, an enemy with this kind of teleportation ability was really the hardest to catch!
If Tianming knew about Zhan Guo's analysis, he would definitely give him a thumbs up. To be able to analyze the power of the Clown Emperor from these two seemingly unrelated matters, he truly lived up to his name as a wise general.
"Do you have any countermeasures, Warring States?"
Jian Kong asked and Zhan Guo shook his head.
"At present, there is no countermeasure! After all, we know too little about him! If he had the ability to teleport, then he could not rule out the possibility that the other party was fleeing. "In fact, it's even a question of whether the bounty we issued is malicious revenge! There were too many uncertainties, and it was impossible to come up with an effective solution!”
Seeing this, Kong sighed slightly. He also knew that it was indeed difficult for Zhan Guo to come up with a solution based on the current situation. However, his anger towards Damaiding lessened. After all, facing such an " accident ", even he might have to suffer a setback. As for Damaiding, he could only count himself unlucky.
"Kuzan and Sakasugi should already be on their way back! Let them stay in Sager for a day or two to prevent any possible unrest..."
As soon as Kong said that, the messenger beside him nodded and took out his phone bug…
