A few hours later, the battle subsided.
Corpses of pirates could be seen everywhere. The previously arrogant captains and officers had long sunk to the bottom of the sea to feed the sea creatures.
At the bow of the ship, Zhan Guo stood there with one hand in his pocket. He looked at the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield below, and his eyes flashed.
"With my current strength, I should be able to do whatever I want in the great sea route. I should be almost invincible, right?”
Even though this era could be called the era of the strongest pirates, it was similar to the Great Voyage Era. The true great pirates and top-notch monsters would all mingle in the new world and would not easily come out.
It was a necessary pointer for sailing on the sea. It was like a daily mission pointer that had no way of turning back. Once an island was filled with magnetic force, it would immediately point to the next island. It would only take a few days to store it, and it would even take a few years for the most. This made many pirates have no choice but to stay in the new world for a long time.
Moreover, because the navy had withdrawn from the New World, their lives there were even more interesting and colorful.
In this case, unless they had experienced all the adventures in the new world, the chances of meeting them on the great sea route were very small.
In the past two years, the warring states had only encountered one 800 million pirate who had come out of the new world for a vacation.
With the current strength of the Sengoku Kingdom, the guys on the great sea route were no longer a big challenge to him.
"A new world?"
Zhan Guo muttered to himself. He habitually took out a cigar from his pocket and put it in his mouth. The sound of a lighter came from beside him, and a small flame approached him.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that it was his adjutant Kelly.
Zhan Guo moved the cigar closer, lit it, and took a deep breath."What's wrong?"
"Commander, how should we deal with the pirates who were knocked unconscious by your Conqueror's Haki and survived the fall into the sea?”
Kelly pointed at a pirate ship not far away that had not been destroyed. There were more than 2,000 pirates kneeling on the deck with their hands on their heads, waiting for punishment.
On the other side of the sea, the soldiers were salvaging the bodies of their comrades.
The bodies that could be found were not given up. With everyone's efforts, they were carried onto the warships. However, even so, the two warships could not hold them. They could only be placed on wooden boards under the command of the major general and lit up for sea burial.
Zhan Guo pointed at the sorrowful soldiers.""You shouldn't be asking me, you should be asking them.”
"They said that you are the commander, so it's up to you to decide!”
"Do you think that if we hadn't come, those pirates would've locked up the soldiers as captives and let them live?”
"No, being killed on the spot is already a very good situation. Most of the soldiers will be tortured to the point that they will not be able to live or die.”
"If that's the case, then why are you asking me?”
Zhan Guo shook his head and looked at the sky again."I never take in captives that are useless to me. I will naturally remind you of those that are useful.”
In this real world, 99% of the pirates he faced were scum. It was very difficult for him to have sympathy, not to mention that he had also been hurt by pirates.
Kelly understood what he meant.
He turned his head and nodded slightly at the soldiers holding the pirates.
The two soldiers who had been watching them ran into the cabin without a word. After a few breaths, they ran out and immediately jumped into the sea.
More than 2,000 pirates looked on in confusion, but some of the quick-witted ones immediately turned pale. They wanted to get up and jump into the sea, but in the next second…
Bang! Boom! Boom!
The loud explosion rang in his ears, and the flames were as dazzling as fireworks.
The soldiers who were still standing and soaking in the sea watched on with expressions of relief.
……
An hour later, everything calmed down.
The warships of the Warring States Period set sail again, with two more following behind him.
"Sengoku officer, I and the remaining 1200 soldiers will follow your command. Please accept.”
The major general stood in front of Sengoku and saluted.
Aren't you going back to the base?"
"Three days ago, we received orders from the Steel Skeleton General. All the bases have been dispatched to carry out a seven-day pirate sweep mission.”
"I see."
Zhan Guo nodded as he had some guesses in his mind.
The headquarters suddenly issued this mission. It was a little abnormal. It didn't conform to the current good-for-nothing marshal's stable thinking.
Could it be that the Steel Skeleton Kong saw that the pirates of the great sea route wanted to target him, so he specially became radical in advance and wanted to share some of the pressure with him?
Although this was only a guess…
"However, my abilities are limited, and my subordinates have suffered heavy injuries, so I want you to accept it.”the major general continued.
"Then follow us on the voyage.”Zhan Guo nodded and agreed.
The major general smiled. To be able to follow a powerful officer in the sea, whether it was his life or merit, it was a great guarantee.
As for the fact that the Warring States Period still did not have a military rank, was it really embarrassing for a major general like him to run errands behind a " recruit "?
Don't mess around. Even the strict navy was supported by strength.
Moreover, the headquarters had long spread the news that the extremely talented Tie Sijiao was already the lieutenant general. They were just waiting for the Steel General to be promoted to the rank of marshal, and he would personally issue an order to completely announce the four of them as his trusted aides.
His future could be said to be limitless. Not to mention a major general like him, there were many lieutenant generals who wanted to follow him but didn't have the chance.
"Speaking of which, pirates nowadays…are very rampant.”Zhan Guo suddenly said.
Even though the battle had already ended, he was still a little surprised.
After all, ever since he joined the navy, this was the first time he had seen pirates dare to chase after the navy.
Even though he had been hearing from the Steel Gukong, his colleagues, and the civilians that pirates were very arrogant, he did not expect them to be so arrogant.
Only by experiencing it would one know how difficult the situation of the navy and civilians was.
It was similar to how someone had always been at war with you. You knew that it was terrifying and tragic, but you wouldn't feel much if you didn't experience it for yourself.
“……”
Hearing this, Kelly and the major general fell silent.
Even the soldiers standing near the deck lowered their heads in shame.
Zhan Guo shook the cigar in his hand and thought for a moment before standing up.
"Forget it. We have two years anyway, so the mission is not urgent.”
He looked at everyone and gave an order that would cause a great upheaval in the world."Let us clear the great sea route!”
Since he was already in the navy camp and had become a Buddhist warring state, his goal was to uphold justice and become a navy marshal.
Now that he saw the navy being played like this, how could he remain indifferent?
This was a f * cking great sea route, not a new world. How could the navy be chased by pirates!
"Commander, what do you mean?"
Kelly pursed his lips and asked in confusion. His heart was pounding for some reason. After all, his commander was a bold person.
In the past two years, he had never given such a serious order, not even in the previous incident at Lerai Island.
He had a premonition that there would be a situation that was bigger than all the previous battles.
"Let's declare war on the pirates of the great sea route.”
