Everyone present understood what Sengoku was saying, but he specifically said a few words to Karp.
After all, this guy was too impulsive. Just like Lieutenant General He had said, if the warship was given to him, it would be useless. This guy would leave the battlefield on the warship. Once he fought with the pirates, the warship would be destroyed. While capturing a group of pirates, the navy would also lose a lot of wealth.
Karp acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water and continued to do as he pleased.
Their warships sailed very fast, almost at maximum horsepower. Many pirates along the way were so scared that they did not dare to come out. The navy's lineup had already surpassed the Demon Slayer Order, which could destroy a country. It could even be said that they could directly fight with the pirate group, the overlord of the New World.
Many people were wondering why the navy would send out so many troops. For a moment, everyone in the New World was in danger. Many pirates even went into hiding to avoid attracting the attention of the navy.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of the navy, there were only the Golden Lion Pirates and the Roger Pirates. As they sailed at high speed, the intelligence department kept transmitting information.
Roy wasn't sure if the Roger Pirates had any spies from the navy or the World Government, but as a pirate fleet, the Golden Lion Pirates definitely had spies among them, and they were constantly transmitting information to them.
" Report, latest news." A soldier quickly walked over with a phone bug and said.
"Tell me quickly." Zhan Guo immediately asked.
"The Roger Pirates have already fallen into the encirclement of the Golden Lion Pirates. The Golden Lion is currently persuading them to surrender.”The soldier immediately said.
"Impossible. Roger won't give in to Shiji.”Karp said as he ate his immortal shell.
"Shut your mouth." Zhan Guo glared at Karp and continued,""Report immediately if you have any information. Voyager, how far are we from the Edwall Sea?”
" Reporting to the general, we will arrive in two hours, but..." The sailor on the warship said and suddenly stopped.
"Say it, but what? Why are you stammering?”Zhan Guo berated.
"The weather ahead is extremely unstable, and there is a high possibility of a storm forming. I do not recommend that the warship continue forward.”The navigator said loudly.
" Storm!?" Zhan Guo was stunned. Not only him, everyone else was stunned as well. Their eyes widened.
" That's right. According to the weather and temperature ahead, there will be a storm soon. It's probably in the Edwar Sea. It's very dangerous for us to get close now. Even the warships will be swept into the storm. The scale of this storm is not small. The weather in the new world is very changeable. I suggest we find a nearby island and wait for the storm to pass before we move.”The navigator said.
"Is there any way to avoid it?" Roy asked.
"At present, it is unavoidable. If we continue to move forward, we will definitely run into a storm and even cause great damage to the navy.”the voyager said.
"Storm, damn it, just at this time.”Zhan Guo gritted his teeth.
The weather in the New World was too terrifying. The power of nature had created the extraordinary nature of this sea. No matter how strong the experts of the New World were, they would either avoid or escape the harsh weather in the New World. Once they were involved, they would have a slim chance of survival.
Now that the navy had brought more than 20,000 people to attack, if anything went wrong, this was half of the navy's combat strength. The warring states did not dare to take the risk. If they really crashed into the storm, they would lose at least half of their forces. The navy did not dare to take the risk, nor could they afford to. They could only frown.
" The current situation is actually advantageous. At least this storm is in the Edwall Sea. The Golden Lion Pirates and Roger Pirates have already started fighting, which means that they will be affected by the storm. Even in the storm, their losses will be huge. We just have to wait for the storm to pass and take advantage of it.”Lieutenant General He said.
"Isn't this giving them a chance to escape?”Karp said.
"General, I think this is an opportunity. Once the storm forms, they won't be able to escape. Our goal this time is to wipe out the two pirate groups.”a lieutenant general said.
"That's right, we can't let them escape. This is the order of the Sky Marshal and the Five Old Stars. Even if it's a storm, we have many warships, and the sailors are all experienced veterans.”The other lieutenant general nodded.
"I don't agree. Entering the storm is gambling with the lives of our soldiers. We have to be responsible for the 20,000 elites of the navy. If anything happens, the navy will be greatly weakened.”A lieutenant general stood up and said.
Soon, the two sides began to argue. Some people advocated charging into the storm and directly destroying the Roger Pirates and the Golden Lion Pirates, while others hoped to avoid the storm and not treat the lives of the naval soldiers as a joke.
As the argument continued, Roy said,""Everyone, calm down. Seaman, I want to ask, do you think the warship will be able to survive this storm?”
The other lieutenants quieted down. Roy's status here was not lower than theirs. Although they were all navy lieutenants, other than Sengoku, Crane, and Karp, Roy's status was even higher than theirs. It was not just because he was young. His strength and status were indeed higher than theirs by half a level.
As the chief of staff and the commander of the G2 branch, Roy's words represented a heavy weight.
The navigator thought for a moment and shook his head."I'm sorry, Lieutenant General. If we're not confident, even the warship might be swept up by the storm.”
" That's simple. Since even the voyager is not confident, you must not have forgotten the basic rules of going out to sea, right? On the sea, the voyager's suggestions are above everything else. Each of the twenty warships has a thousand soldiers, and they are the backbone of the headquarters and the branch. It's not worth taking risks with these people. I know that you have to carry out the order, but in such a situation, please think twice. The lives of these twenty thousand people are in our hands.”Roy said.
"Not bad." Zhan Guo nodded.
Seeing Zhan Guo speak, Roy sat down. It was enough to leave the decision to Zhan Guo. He didn't need to say anything else. He had already explained the reason. Everything could only be left to the commander.
"Find a nearby island and dock there. Once the storm subsides, we'll set off immediately and be ready for battle.”Zhan Guo said.
"Yes, sir!"
