I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

A seventeen-year-old second lieutenant from the Navy Headquarters!

What concept?

Everyone knew that Charlotte Coles would become a senior admiral in the future.

Therefore, a newspaper here in the East China Sea immediately sent a reporter after learning the news.

The entrance to the naval base.

A middle-aged reporter who was not well-dressed was discussing with the guarding navy.

"what happened?"

Suddenly, a clear voice of inquiry came.

The reporter turned to look.

I saw a young man wearing a navy coat approaching. He had black hair, blue eyes, and handsome features. He looked particularly handsome in combination with the clean and tidy navy uniform.

"Second Lieutenant Coles."

The navy soldiers on guard immediately saluted.

Although Coles has only been in the Navy for three months, the navy is based on military rank. Sailors need to salute and greet officers who are higher than them. This is one of the basic courtesy.

Coles nodded slightly in response.

Then, he looked at the middle-aged reporter next to him who was wearing slightly ordinary clothes.

When the reporter heard the navy's greetings, his face lit up and he immediately introduced himself.

"Hello, you are the second lieutenant of the Navy Headquarters who was just promoted in Rogge Town. I am a reporter from Donghai Mingshe Newspaper. I came here to take some photos of you for publication in the newspaper. Is that okay?"

reporter?

"Do you have identification?"

With a vigilant heart, Coles began to examine the man in front of him.

The middle-aged man nodded quickly and took out a document from his arms: "Yes, this is my work permit."

Coles finished checking the document.

It is definitely the work ID of the newspaper company, and the recorded information is the same as the person in front of me.

no problem.

"This second lieutenant, can you let me take photos and publish them in the newspaper?" the reporter asked expectantly.

Coles returned the ID to the middle-aged man in front of him and said calmly: "Sorry, I don't want my photo to be published in the newspaper for the time being."

Although being in the news is a sign of fame to others, for Coles, it is likely to cause trouble.

Because he has a family he cares about, after being published in the newspaper, his popularity will increase, and more information will be exposed to the public.

Zefa, a former general in the navy, fought against countless pirates. Because he never killed any enemy, he was also known as the "non-killing" general.

But such a naval hero was retaliated by pirates who harbored resentment, causing his family to be killed by pirates...

After this incident, although the Navy strengthened protection for the family members of the Navy, Coles still felt uneasy.

Therefore, for the safety of his father Ronald and sister Vercia, Coles did not plan to have his figure appear in the newspapers so quickly.

"But……"

The middle-aged reporter wanted to say something else, but Coles had already entered the naval base.

The middle-aged reporter wanted to follow, but was blocked by the navy on duty and had no choice but to stop.

And when he thought of the editor-in-chief yelling at him, a look of defeat appeared on his face.

……

Within the naval base.

Coles came to the office that originally belonged to Major Kahn. After the major was transferred, this is now his office.

Putting the white navy coat behind him on the chair, Coles relaxed his muscles slightly and began to exercise in the free area beside him.

It's still half an hour before formal work, so you can do some exercise first.

After he completed half an hour of physical training, there was a knock on the door outside.

Dasqi's voice sounded outside.

"Coles...Second Lieutenant."

"Fifty navy soldiers have been assembled and can patrol the streets."

Coles stood up.

He put on his navy coat again and brought an officer's standard sword with him.

After all, the Demon Sword Red Moon will bring people powerful bewitching control. In order to prevent himself from being affected, Coles has already put it in the shadow.

This is actually a kind of fruit ability development, similar to storage.

However, the shadow can only store dead objects, so you might as well store things with vitality in them.

Opening the door, Dasqi stood outside wearing a white military uniform. At seventeen years old, she was still very green, and there was nothing special about her.

"Let's go."

Coles took Daschi into the square below, where the navy soldiers were already standing in four rows.

These fifty naval soldiers were actually recruits at the same time as Coles.

If you are a veteran, you may be dissatisfied with Coles, an officer who became a second lieutenant of the Navy Headquarters at a young age.

Smoker classified the naval soldiers who had been in contact with Coles during the same period into the patrol team, which could also save this step of understanding.

Furthermore, these people are all navy recruits who have just passed the recruitment period. It is not appropriate to immediately arrange them into dangerous positions. Ordinary patrol positions are very suitable.

"Set off."

Coles did not say any other words and directly led the navy out of the naval base.

However, Coles had not gone far yet.

Outside the naval base, the middle-aged reporter from before walked over again.

"Lieutenant Coles, I really just want to publish an issue of the newspaper for you..."

"I reject!"

Coles responded coldly.

With such a strong refusal, most people may have given up long ago, but the middle-aged reporter had to persist.

"Just take a picture, just one picture."

Coles turned back coldly: "I don't want to say no for the third time."

The middle-aged reporter suddenly felt trembling all over his body, as if he had been plunged into a huge darkness.

The navy soldier continued to move forward.

"Pfft!"

Behind him, the middle-aged reporter suddenly knelt down, his face full of misery, his head hitting the ground, and his voice was full of pleading.

"Please, help me."

"Our newspaper's performance has been poor, and due to family reasons, my recent performance and work status have declined extremely. I have been warned by the editor many times."

"This newspaper about you is the latest task given to me by the editor-in-chief. If I fail to complete it, I will definitely be fired from the newspaper!"

"If I lose my job as a reporter, my financial situation will be very difficult, and my wife and son at home will be worried about money, so please help me!"

The patrolling navy soldiers stopped.

Dasqi couldn't bear to turn her head and look around. Being able to make a middle-aged man kneel down and say these words pleadingly was enough to see how bad his situation was now.

"Sorry, I can't help you."

Coles' expression didn't change much as he continued to lead the navy soldiers forward.

The middle-aged reporter watched the naval soldier in front of him disappear, his expression gradually becoming gray.

When patrolling to the third street.

Dasqi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped and asked.

This time, she didn't bring the title of awe.

"Why? Why don't you just refuse to help that middle-aged journalist man when he has reached a point of desperation? Doesn't our navy need to help those in need?"

heard.

Coles also stopped walking.

He turned to look at Dasqi who was still where he was, as if he was explaining to Dasqi alone or to everyone else.

"You are right, the reporter's situation is indeed very bad, and he will probably be fired if he fails to complete the tasks assigned to him by the editor-in-chief.

I feel very sorry and can't bear it.

But I also have a family, and I need to avoid risks to my family.

I believe that most of the sailors here also have families. I don’t know why you joined the navy. Maybe it’s for justice, maybe you hate pirates, or maybe it’s just for more salary...

The reason why I joined the Navy to become stronger is because I wanted to be able to protect my family.

After all, I am not a selfless person like Major Kahn. I sacrifice my own interests to help an unrelated person...

I'm really sorry.

I can't do what you said! "

Faced with Coles' words, almost all the navy present were deeply shocked.

Only then did they remember.

They also all have families.

Caring, love, happiness... those are the emotions that can be displayed unintentionally when facing family members!

Not many people don't care about their family.

Ask yourself.

If you can't even guarantee the safety of your family, then is the navy still valuable?

The navy soldiers present could not give the correct answer, but they could make it clear that protecting their families was also their desire.

"Okay, let's continue patrolling."

Coles didn't say anything, turned around and continued to perform his current duties.
