Pirate Forest

The midday sun warmly embraced every corner of the town, and some residents saw a group of guys surrounding Tata's house who looked like they were not easy to mess with.

The leader, bald Rowan, reminded people that he might be the vice-captain of a great pirate who had been rumored to be back here for some unknown deal recently, so everyone hid in the emergency shelter and waited for the navy to rescue them.

The weak lights in the basement flickered, and people's faces were full of worry and fear. The children were held tightly in their arms by their parents, with some confusion in their eyes.

Some mothers have begun to hold their children and lean against the wall, sobbing as if the end has come. Most of the fathers clenched their fists and lowered their heads reluctantly but were helpless.

The deep atmosphere of despair permeating the airtight basement made it difficult to raise one's head. Some children with weak minds couldn't help but burst into tears. These noisy cries and whispers of prayers made the already impetuous mood even more irritable. disturbed.

"Why hasn't the navy come yet?" Finally, someone couldn't bear the huge pressure that was squeezing him from all around, and began to try to relieve his own pressure with complaints, but he didn't know that this would quickly infect everyone like a plague.

"That's it! Those bastards have to pay so much tax every month, so why are they useless when it's time to use them!" The rich began to complain that all their money was in vain and they still have to stay in this kind of place with the common people. In a dark and damp basement.

"Yes, someone just went out to take a look. The pirates on the dock have already arrived." The man who knew more information about the net also relaxed. He was under more pressure than others.

Such a sense of panic will spread to everyone in an instant. They may not resonate but they will definitely be more frightened, and those who spread it may not feel relaxed at all.

Finally, the mayor of the town stood up. He was unanimously elected by the residents of the town. Although he was over years old, his fair and just attitude won everyone's support.

"Don't panic, be calm. I have notified the nearest navy branch. They will arrive soon. By then, none of the pirates will be able to escape." The gray hair and wrinkled skin glowed loudly at this moment. The amazing momentum seems to have some unexpected confidence, giving people a sense of security.

"I don't want all pirates left, as long as they can leave the town." The rich man complained. He had the most money and didn't want the town to be damaged too seriously.

"But can those navy really defeat those pirates?" Some people can't help but question. They are not as rich as the rich as long as they live.

"Yes! That's a big pirate with a reward of beli!" Someone started to worry.

"It is said that he once massacred several small towns!" Some people spread the rumors they had heard with some fear.

"Yeah..." People chatted with each other and expressed their opinions. They were not optimistic about the navy at all. The young children looked around and didn't understand why the adults were so unsure of the righteous navy. 35xs

"Shut up!" The mayor finally couldn't bear it and broke out.

Everyone looked at him...

"It is inevitable that only the navy can defeat the pirates! Do you expect the pirates to win? Only the navy can guarantee our safety! The pirates will only brutally massacre us!" His words made some people who had just made comments questioning the strength of the navy People were sweating profusely, as if they had seen some horrible scene.

Facts have proven that sometimes it is useless to say the least. Appropriate use of intimidation can effectively promote internal unity.

"The Navy is the messenger of justice and will definitely win!" A little boy suddenly broke away from his mother's arms, stood in the middle of the crowd, and said loudly in a pose that he thought was very handsome.

"yes."

"That's right."

"Haha, don't even children know that the navy will win? Haha."

"Al come back soon." Mother hurriedly protected Al from giving him a chance to break away again, scolding him for not always being in the limelight.

People also returned to normal for a short time, showing awkward smiles, encouraging each other, clasping their hands and praying that the navy would arrive early and drive the pirates out.

Seeing that everyone finally calmed down, the mayor turned his back to the wall and clenched his palms, which were as dry and yellow as the bark of an old tree, without even noticing that his nails were digging into his flesh.

He really couldn't forget the tone of the other party when he called the navy branch just now. The disgust was like swatting away flies. Isn't protecting the people what they should do?

"Don't worry, justice will never be absent." This sentence is still lingering in his mind and cannot be dissipated for a long time.

………………

The 28th branch of the Navy stationed in Xihai.

"Sir, all the soldiers have been assembled!" A second lieutenant solemnly saluted Colonel Duck who was sitting leisurely on the boss's chair.

"Why are you gathering?" Colonel Duck, who had a flat protruding duck's beak, asked in confusion.

"Didn't you just get a call for help from Happy Town?" the second lieutenant was stunned for a moment.

"Yeah, it's really stupid to call for help when the emergency call has already been dispatched. It would be easier to dig a hole and bury it yourself." As he spoke, he laughed out loud, covering his stomach and patting it exaggeratedly. Slapping the table like something funny happened.

The young second lieutenant stared blankly at Colonel Duck who was laughing like crazy. He couldn't believe that this was said by the supreme commander of the branch and a dignified navy man!

Is this human language?

At this moment, the belief in his heart was shattered.

"Why are you saying that my joke is not funny?" Colonel Duck raised his eyes and looked at him.

His throat rolled involuntarily and he sweated slightly on his forehead. He stood up straight and took a deep breath. Finally, he mustered up the courage to say, "With all due respect, the navy should be dispatched immediately to protect the safety of the people!"

Boom!

The bullet accurately hit the second lieutenant's hat, and his heart seemed to jump out of his chest. He was gasping for air and sweating profusely.

"Hahaha! You are talking about protecting the people and attacking pirates, but you were scared half to death by a small bullet. What a joke!" He laughed loudly at the second lieutenant's overestimation of his capabilities, and it looked extremely funny when he clapped his hands.

"I'm going to die..." He couldn't hear what Colonel Duck said, he just felt as if his soul was out of body.

"But even so, I still believe that protecting the people is the mission of the navy! Even if it means death, I will not hesitate!" The second lieutenant's voice turned from low to high. He still refused to agree with the cowardice of the commander.

"It's a joke to say that death is a joke." Colonel Duck put on his navy coat and walked out of the door.

"What do you want?" the second lieutenant opened his mouth and asked.

After walking out of the door, he looked back at the ensign, straightened his navy cap, and walked out of the corridor.

"The soldiers have been assembled, how can I still be sitting in the office"

The young second lieutenant turned from sadness to joy and hurried to catch up with the colonel. The traces of faith in his heart were repaired.

"The whole army attacks!"
