King Snake General of Pirates

In the Western Military District.

Valentin and Hal, wearing the cloak of justice, passed through more than half of the Western Military District and came to the residential area of ​​the main city near the residential area, which is safer than other places.

There is a manor here guarded by soldiers. Not far from the manor is a huge military camp.

When the two of them arrived at the gate of the manor, their faces were very ugly, especially Valentine's, whose face was livid, with almost all the disgust he had felt along the way written on his face.

Even Hal, who usually kept his face secret, shook his head slightly, feeling troubled by the chaos within the Western Military Region that exceeded imagination.

From the moment they entered the Western Military Region, the two of them saw garbage floating in the wind everywhere along the way. They were piled together to form a hill-like mountain of garbage, filled with a stench that could not be dissipated from their nostrils, and hungry refugees lying on the ground. , there are also thugs with knives who hurt people in public, and there are countless other things.

The thugs Hal met were not very lucky. As soon as they met, they were beaten until they could not take care of themselves even before they started committing crimes.

Valentine, who had been unwilling to cause trouble in the past, did not stop Hal when he saw him, which shows that Valentine is also intolerant of all kinds of bad behavior here.

Of course, Valentine and Hal alone couldn't stop all the things they saw along the way, and they couldn't help those refugees who were about to starve to death. There were too many of them, and no one person could save them. .

"Let's go." Valentine said to Hal.

"Stop here, who are you? What's your purpose?" The soldiers guarding the outside of the manor stopped Valentine and Hal with knives, and vigilantly interrogated them about their identities and purposes.

"Colonel of Naval Branch 53, Valentine."

"Major, Naval Branch 53, Hal."

"We are here for King Andrag's royal order, and we have agreed with your commander to meet at this time." Valentine said slowly.

He did not know the other party because of the soldier's rudeness. The other party was a member of the Kingdom's security forces. He lived in the military camp of the Western Military Region all year round. He had never seen the navy and did not know the identity of the two people. They were in the Western Military Region, facing Visits from strangers are excusable and subject to rigorous questioning.

Even if they know, they may not put on a flattering posture.

The soldier who spoke was stunned for a moment when he heard the contents of the self-reported identities of the two men. He took another look at the justice coats worn by the two Valentines, and then quickly walked into the manor.

As soldiers of the kingdom, even if they have little contact with the outside world, they know that there is a naval branch stationed in the Kingdom of Androser.

What's more, the soldier had to pay attention to the royal order of King Andrage mentioned by Valentin.

A soldier entered the manor to report. The other soldiers were still very wary of the two, and kept holding the weapons tightly in their hands, pointing directly at the two.

Hal didn't mind, but admired their approach very much. He thought that if Matthew's power could grow stronger, if the people under his command could achieve such execution, it would be possible to gain a certain status in various military regions.

Then, he began to look at his surroundings.

This is the residence of the commander of the Western Military Region. It is located next to a wide and clean street. There are many green vegetation around it, which makes the air less smelly than other places.

There are no other residents here. Apart from this manor, there is only a military camp located not far away.

The manor is surrounded by iron fences covered with thorns and airtight. You can imagine how difficult it would be for those with insufficient equipment and malicious intentions to enter this manor in the Western Military Region, which is already barren of resources.

Soon, the soldiers who went in to report came out.

He first asked other soldiers to put away their weapons, and then came to Valentine and Hal. After confirming their identities, his attitude was much better than before. He made a "please" gesture and said to them: "I'm sorry. Long wait, Commander Renaf is waiting for you in the living room, please come with me."

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Valentine and Hal set foot on a long gravel road, with flowerbeds blooming with various flowers on both sides. They came to the end of the flowerbed, passed through a corridor, and pushed open the door at the end of the corridor. After opening the door, he saw Commander Renaf in the room.

Reinulf looked to be in his 40s, a hairless strong man with dark eyes and a dull yellow complexion. His messy face seemed to have never been washed. As soon as he saw this man, Valentine felt disgust in his heart.

Because Renaff saw Valentine and the two coming in, sitting motionless on the sofa, even wearing pajamas.

"Arrogant," Valentine thought to himself.

In other words, the other party may have been sleeping before the soldiers came in to report, and I clearly agreed on a meeting time with him yesterday.

As the head of the branch base, it was enough for him to be looked down upon by noble ministers several times, but a small military commander actually ignored him like this.

The more he thought about Valentin, the angrier he became. Before Renulf could speak, he sat down on the sofa, took a deep breath, and then made a long "ha" sound from his mouth.

"Oh, it's already this time. Oops, I don't know if the king has put too much pressure on me recently. I always have insomnia at night, and I get sleepy easily during the day. I always don't get enough sleep." Reinulf glanced at the wall. Hanging, it looked like a very expensive clock. He said slowly as if he was embarrassed but had no intention of apologizing.

"I'm still wearing my pajamas. I think Commander Reinoff is sleeping soundly." Valentine said coldly, squinting at him.

Renaff did not talk to him, nor did he care about the sting in his words, but instead focused on Hal who had just sat down: "This must be the rumored major who hates evil, right? How do you call him? "

"Hal." Hal said.

"I heard that you not only like to act bravely, but also fight against the only regular combat troops in the Southern Military Region?"

"A misunderstanding."

"Hey, don't be modest. The soldiers in the army are not very disciplined. That's because the superiors are not strict in discipline. In this case, they should be taught a lesson. You are doing the right thing. If there are soldiers in my army who are in the same situation, Mr. Major can definitely discipline them for me. They will say nothing after beating me, and they may even applaud you."

Renaff pretended to laugh cheerfully, and suddenly asked Hal: "When you came in just now, my soldiers didn't do anything to bully the 'civilians', right?"

Immediately.

All three were silent.

Hearing this, Hal gradually became cold-hearted. Although there was a polite smile on his face, his eyes gradually became cold.

"Very good."

"That's good, that's good." Reinulf stroked his bare head and laughed, turning a blind eye to the indifference in Hal's eyes.

The three people present were all smart people, and everyone could immediately understand the meaning of his words.

In his words, he not only expressed his dissatisfaction with Hal's behavior of beating the kingdom soldiers, but also compared Valentine and Hal to "oppressed civilians", implying that they were as incompetent and weak as civilians.

It wasn't Hal's style to just talk, so he didn't show his anger.

Valentine, who was also being ridiculed at the side, did not have a fit. He felt that he was becoming more and more disgusted with this person. He did not want to waste words with him, so he quickly said without looking at him: "Don't waste your time on useless things, King." How are you going to carry out Andrag’s royal order?”

"Catching pirates is within the responsibilities of your navy. The security soldiers under my command have no experience in this area. Although the king has asked me to take charge, I still have to learn from your navy's experience."

Reinulf turned to look at Hal: "I heard that Major Hal often went out to patrol the sea and captured many pirate groups, large and small. He must have a good understanding of the pirates' living habits and temperament. Why don't you temporarily serve as the captain?" As a colleague, I would like to give you some suggestions.”

Shameless.

Valentine thought to himself: "I have never seen such a shameless person."

He said it was a suggestion, but what he said was that he didn't want to contribute on his own and wanted to rely on the navy to complete the task. If the pirates were successfully captured, the other party would still take the lead.

This is simply a beautiful thing.

The key point is that what Renaff said is very reasonable, and he can't find any reason to argue.
